| Description of the problem | My 2001 dodge ram 1500 quad cab automatic transmission with only 84600 miles just died without warning or slipping of the tranny,i took it to get repaired. It got a tranny flush but still didn't want to shift so i took it back in and in the investigation ,we realized that it needed a new tranny. Theres no way a transmission should go out with only 84000 miles and with all the complaints i researched , i believe as well as all the complainants,that dodge should be liable and make a national recall for this continuing problem. |
