| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2003 dodge ram 1500 truck and my transmission went out. I was able to get it to my service dealership where they repaired it. I only had 37,000 miles on my vehicle at the time. I didn't have the extended warranty on my vehicle. I had to use a rental car. Then on top of everything, chrysler damler would not pay for my rental. The real issue here is that my transmission should not have gone out under 40,000 miles. *jb |
