2004 DODGE RAM Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

2004 DODGE RAM PICKUP REGARDING RECALL.**CC THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE NOT HAVING THE ALARM INSTALLED AS IT WAS NOT NECESSARILY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER ATTACHED AN ALARM SYSTEM TO THE HORN TO ALERT THE CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO REVERSE OR WHEN THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE OPENED FOR GREATER VISIBILITY WHILE BACKING OR CONNECTING A TRAILER, THE PARKING ALARM SOUNDED. THE SERVICE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND REFUSED TO REMOVE THE ALARM DUE TO FEDERAL MANDATE OF RECALL # 05V462000 (E17) FOR THE POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, PARK ALARM.

WHILE PARKED ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF PARK. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS, CAUSING A MINOR COLLISION. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK *SC *JB

THE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER THE FIRST TIME WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION; THE COLINOID WAS THEN REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME WE TOOK IT IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WE WERE TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER IS SENDING THE EXACT SAME CODE. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD NEED A NEW COMPUTER, AT 56,000 MILES. IT WAS INSTALLED. THE THIRD TIME WE TOOK IT IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON WE WERE TOLD ONCE AGAIN THAT THE COMPUTER IS INDICATING THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER THREE DAYS OF BEING WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION WE WERE TOLD THAT A BALL BEARING IN THE VALVE BODY WAS IN THE WRONG SPOT, TO QUOTE THE SERVICE MANAGER. WE TOLD THIS WAS FIXED SO WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE HOME. ONE MILE FROM OUR HOME...
