1995 Dodge RAM 2500 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 39 of 39, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving 50 MPH transmission line blewout, dealer replaced transmission line. This happened again on 12 aug 2001.
While driving transmission fluid poured out of vehicle onto the road, and caused vehicle to smoke. This was due to the retaining clip coming loose. Dealer has seen.
Gears in rear diffential would make humming noises, like grinding metal. Independent mechanic placed vehicle on hoist and located problem in transfer case. Had broken gear, but parts were removed. Informed it was cleaned out previously and parts removed.
Transmission has always had problems. Rebuilt once 1 year before total failure. Dodge dealer admits that it should not have happened, but when they contacted dodge corp, they would not reimburse for any part of the cost. Transmissions do not completely fail that early, especially since it had been serviced 11 months before failure. This transmission is obviously defective and in going into other web sights ( lemon-aid) we find we are not the only ones this happened to. Something needs to be done to make dodge admit there's a problem, and reimburse us and others who had to pay $4000.00 to replace a transmission at such an early stage.
Wiring harness in steering column was smoking and burning and required immediate repairs, which owner made with parts from dealership, a month later the problem was considered a recall (00v‑135), consumer requesting reimbursement. Cj
Second transmission for consumer to replace, 2 transmissions replaced by previous owner. Transmision shop said they will not warranty transmission. It would not last more than 12000 miles. Consumer contacted dodge, who after first phone call "red flagged" consumer and said his case was closed.
Sound pad to close to the exaust pipe header on 5.9 cum. Diesel engine. Brakes are very bad if you have to stop quick. Frount wheels lock up in normal braking on wet road and in hard stops with a load or trailer rear brakes are worthless. Trans mission lines rub together wearing holes in the in the lines
Transmission lines are leaking because of defective fittings. Dodge is aware of problem because of recall campaign # 97v084000. But, recall only concerns gas engines and not diesel. *ak the transmission lines are rusting due to inferior quality of original parts.
My automatic transmission cooling line on the pressure side has sprung a major leak. It would appear to be the same as and be covered by your campaign number 97v084000. Chrysler tells me that my truck is not affected. If not, I don't understand why. Is there any way to obtain an official list of the vehicles affected?
Vehicle is not shifting gears and the reverse gear is inoperative. Yh
Tramission cooler lines failed at plastic quick disconnect, throwing transmission fluid out. Could not be replaced, because no parts were available. Dealership had to install new designed lines, costing owner $872.72.
My background and training is in metallurgical & materials engineering. Upon repair of the transfer case the service technician discovered the failure was from the mainshaft retaining ring which failed. I inspected this retaining ring and noted the failure as a fatigue failure which cracked through 80% of the component material before final fracture. This snap ring was defective since installation in the vehicle at orginal manufacturing. Fortunately, I noticed sounds eminating from the transfer case before catastrophic failure occured which may result in personal injury of occupants or other drivers on the road. Please file this report and contact me for any additional information. Sincerely, eric fremd b.sc.

The engine consumed anitfreeze at a rate of 1.5 gallons per 3000 miles.
The fittings that connect into the transmission oil cooling lines are plastic, the oil overheated while driving, causing the fittings to bust, and resulting in transmission fluid leaking all over the exhaust system. Dealer has been contacted.
While driving at 45 MPH transmission went out due to a clip that holds the coolant blew out.
I'm on my 4th set of brake pads. The brake systems (according to midas brakes) are not sufficient on the 3/4 ton pickup trucks! Most of my driving is open highway.
This vehicule has had 2 transmissions put in it. The first being warranteed, the second costing more than $2600.00 dollars. When the vehicule was picked up it did not seem to shift right. Check the fluid and was 2-3quarts low,I am sorry to say that I am not satisfied with dealership to which I brought it,sansone's route 66 auto mall.
I have a long history of reporting serious major safety component problems and failures to chrysler on both of my vehicles. My vehicles have been in three accidents resulting from failed safety components. Each time after the accident, the dealer was able to find the problem and correct it. However, this has never happened before the accident. In the case of the brake line failure it involves every 1195 br2500 hd pickup truck. Chrysler found and corrected the problem at some point because the replacement part is designed to reduce the bends which cause the line to rub against the wheel rim on turns. I have experienced thousands of dollars in damages that were caused by chrysler. How do I get my money back?
