Description of the problem	Since dec of 2004 i have had my transmission replaced 3 times on this vehicle, the last time i was on a highway when it "blew" and was told by several ppl that i was very "lucky" it didn't catch fire, l know of many others who have owned these trucks and have had similar transmission problems!! I also have had my spare tire cable break while the truck was on a roadway, and my spare tire when rolling down the road behind me, by the grace of god... No cars were coming, in addition, i have a severely cracked dash, i am having to have the heater core replaced... Smoke coming out of the vents... When the core is replaced, the dash will have to be replaced also, due to the condition of the dash!! Dodge needs to do something about these vehicles!
