SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I BOUGHT A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB AND JUST RETURNED HOME FROM BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. I HAD ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT THE SHAKING THAT I EXPERIENCED DURING BRAKING. THEY INFORMED ME ALL FOUR ROTORS ARE WARPED AND THE SURFACE COULD NOT BE CUT BECAUSE THEY WOULD BECOME TOO THIN. AT THIS POINT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO SPEND $800.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. BEING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THE ROTORS THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.*JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 1998 DODGE RAM 1500. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON ME AND THE PICKUP ONLY HAD 61000 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS ACTUALLY FIRE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, YOU COULD TELL WHEN THE MECHANIC DROPPED THE PAN, THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT EVERY THING WAS FRIED. THAT COULD OF STARTED THE WHOLE PICKUP ON FIRE AND I COULD OF BEEN KILLED OR BADLY HURT. I HAVE TALKED TO SOME OTHER GUYS AND THEY OWNED 1998 RAMS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. NOW THIS IS A BIG SAFETY THING AND THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID NO, THEY WOULDN'T EVEN HELP ME OUT. THIS COULD OF BEEN A BIG LAW SUIT IF I WOULD OF GOTTEN HURT. *JB
