| Description of the problem | I have heard several complaints of the 46re transmission on dodge trucks, hoping i would not experience it. On wed. November 12 2003 my transmission blew. Chrysler will not do anything cause of my mileage of 55,000. The truck has never towed or hauled anything. This transmission problem needs to be addressed. My truck is going to get a rebuilt in it but i will be without a vehicle for the next 3 weeks. This is not acceptable for a $30,000 vehicle. *la |
