problem #3

Jul 012007

Ram 1500 4.2L

  • Manual transmission
  • 30,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

My 2005 Dodge Ram had 3rd gear go out. It would pop out of gear. Dealership took it apart and said they would call when the parts came in. A week later I was still in a rental car....I was paying for. I finally called them and told them I couldn't play the rental game indefinitely. They put it back together and I just drove without 3rd gear. Later 1st and reverse started going out. I had to kill the engine to put it in 1st or reverse. I took it to a different dealership. They replaced the transmission with a rebuilt one. Lasted over 100,000 miles. The kid I sold it to had transmission problems later and finally used it as trade in on another car.

Ram 1500 4.7L PowerTech V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 138,573 miles

Going down the highway when all of the sudden I had no forward or reverse gears as if the car was in neutral. Park does not stop the car from rolling.

Ram 1500 Daytona 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

Was lucky that transmission failed and I was able to coast into a parking lot out of danger.

Sad to say that I found out after the problem that many people have to replace or re-build Dodge/Chrysler transmissions after 70,000 miles.
