I own a 1995 dodge ram 1500 4x4,I was at a friends house and when I left it acted like it was low on transmission fluid.I had changed the fluid and filter the day before.when I left his house I got maybe 300-400 ft,went to go around the corner and it wouldn't go forward,I put it in reverse and it moved about 20 ft backwards and that is where it sat.I had my brother help me tow it home,and that is where it sits to this day.(the torque converter locked up,overdrive quit working,and the kickdown quit working).
1995 Dodge RAM 1500 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 29 of 29, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When the key turns off engine most of the time you can`t get the key out because the gear shifter does not go all the way into it`s slot ,and even after it does finally go into the slot (after working with it) the steering wheel does`nt lock !
The rear bumper cracked from a hit and ran accident while the vehicle was parked.
While traveling at 60 MPH and when passing another vehicle, vehicle shifted up, causing transmission to lose all power . *ak transmission shifted down into passing gear, then when consumer passed vehicle, he let up on the accelerator and the transmission shifted up into drive and all power was lost.
The overdrive engages without warning while driving at speeds of 65 MPH or greater. This causes the RPM to jump from 2000 to 3500 and the speed instantly declines. This is very frightening and could cause us to be rear ended by the car behind us.
Problems going into reverse,and shifting up from 1st gear.
The reverse has gone out in this vehicle 3 times now it costs around $1700 each time fixed please tell me if there is something wrong in the transmission.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
The transmission cooling line runnig from transmission to the radiator rusted through and was leaking on the underside of the truck, covering the whole bottom rear end with transmission fluid. This could have caused a fire if enough of fluid had spilled onto the exhaust system. The dealer has been contacted and repaired the vehicle.
Engine needs to be replaced.
The number 1 complaint that I have is that a person cannot get in touch (phone) with anyone at the 1-800 # that chrysler provides for customer's to call in with a concern or a complaint , do they not care about customer satisfaction ??
