The van would jerk badly when put into drive and when sitting at a red light or stop sign it would begin to lurch forward requiring me to press hard on the brakes.after 8 days in the dealership and numerous calls from the service rep.saying that they keep finding more problems with the transmission.after I got it home I noticed that the invoice showed that one of the parts that had been replaced was the torque convertor and that it had been replaced with a remanufactured one.this van had only 3762 miles on it when the original transmission failed.how safe will it be for me to drive my small grandchildren around in a new vehicle with a rebuilt transmission when the original transmission failed with only 3700 miles on it.the customer service rep. Advised me that the she would contact the regional rep. To meet with me .it has been three days and no one has contacted me yet. No onerhrgrnufactured acedinbn.
2000 Dodge RAM 1500 transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 45 of 45, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While vehicle was idling, consumer left it in park and exited vehicle with wife in passenger seat, there was a loud noise and vehicle jumped to reverse at a fast speed into a store.
The engine of my vehicle has a bad vibration between 1000-1500 RPM. The dealer has replaced the following components after three seperate visits: fan clutch, torque converter, flex plate, harmonic balancer, transmission mount to crossmember, and changed the entire exhaust system to a 1997 version. I filed a lemon law claim with the manufacturer, however they now state it is a normal problem. A motor vibration will cause the engine to fail prematurely ie; broken crankshaft, or other internal components rendering the vehicle unsafe to operate and undrivable. The problem occurs when driving, in neutral, and park. Repairs attempted by the dealer have not corrected the problem.

When driving vehicle pulled to the left. Dealer said it was the rear axle assembly. Dealer couldn't solve problem.
