| Description of the problem | The automatic transmission cooling lines were compromised in the radiator. Coolant contaminated the automatic transmission fluid and ruined the transmission specifically causing the relay in the transmission that is connected to the starter circuit to malfunction. There was therefore no warning that anything was wrong until the truck simply would not start. The quote from the dealership is $6,600. This is particularly frustrating because 6 months ago i paid for a full inspection of the vehicle and though this is a known issue that is preventable, there was no mention of it in the report. |
