Description of the problem | I started having problems with the transmission at 36,000 miles. At which time the local dodge dealer said i needed transmission sensors. I paid to have it fixed since they said it was not covered under the warranty. At 70,000 miles i now need a new transmission on this new dodge ram truck. I have never abused the truck, and only towed once a light horse trailer. I have not had the truck repaired because it costs $3,000 i don't have. My truck payment is $500 a month currently.*ak |
