2001 Dodge RAM 1500: transmission slipping

Filed Nov 2, 2007 · Transmission · 84,600 miles · WA

My 2001 dodge ram 1500 quad cab automatic transmission with only 84600 miles just died without warning or slipping of the tranny,I took it to get repaired. It got a tranny flush but still didn't want to shift so I took it back in and in the investigation ,we realized that it needed a new tranny.theres no way a transmission should go out with only 84000 miles and with all the complaints I researched , I believe as well as all the complainants,that dodge should be liable and make a national recall for this continuing problem.

The mechanic also stated that on numerous dodge ram maintenance forums, this is a common problem. I have seen these first hand and it is true. I have seen posts with people stating that their dealer told them there was a problem with the cylinder heads which lead to burnt valves, requiring cylinder head replacement. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
