| Description of the problem | i own a 2001 dodge ram truck. I bought the truck used from a dealership with 40,000 miles on it. One week later the transmission blew. I had to pay $1500 to get it fixed. This has been an ongoing problem with the truck since i bought it. No body can figure out what is wrong with it. Im out all this money and the truck is worthless to me. Everyone i talk to that owns one of these trucks has transmission problems "everyone". I think the chrysler corp. Should have a recall on these transmissions! |
