Description of the problem	I have replaced 4 46re transmissions in my 01 dodge ram sport 4x4. The 46re is a terrible transmission and they are known for being bad. They even have that as a reputation. Chrysler needs to do a recall on these transmissions for what has happened to many consumers. I have been through 4 transmission from 46,000miles to 109,000 miles, and i need to replace the one that is in it now. It has failed out of nowhere without any warning and has almost caused accidents. It costs atleast 2000 to replace the transmission and i've had to pay for 1 of them because they aren't covered under any warranty. Chrysler should be held accountable.
