POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. IT WAS BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2005. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING SO I TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM. IT IS A SILICONE SEAL ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS IT WAS LEAKING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEAL. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS LEAKING WAY WORSE THAN BEFORE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD REPLACE IT AGAIN BUT MOST LIKELY IT WOULD STILL LEAK BECAUSE IT WAS A SILICONE SEAL AND THEY COULDN'T PUT ANY OTHER SEAL ON IT BECAUSE IT WAS AGAINST DODGES REGULATIONS. THAT IS WHAT THE PUT ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FACTORY SO THE CAN'T PUT ANYTHING ELSE ON IT. SO THE TRANSMISSION WILL CONTINUE TO LEAK. I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS ESPECIALLY THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE AND ALSO MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. ALSO IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. SO NOW IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T FIXED MY TRANSMISSION WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE CRUISE CONTROL LOCKED INTO ACCELERATE MODE AND COULD NOT BE DISENGAGED. STRONG BRAKING WAS NECESSARY FOR SEVERAL MILES AND EVEN SO THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE HELD BELOW 85 MPH. I PULLED OFF INTO A WEIGH STATION AND COULD NOT DECELERATE RAPIDLY ENOUGH AND HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A SPIN ON THE PAVEMENT. WAS ABLE TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, WHICH APPARENTLY REBOOTED THE COMPUTER CONTROLLING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
HAVE A 2005 DODGE CUMMINS, AND A 2006 DODGE CUMMINS. THEY WERE BUILT WITH AN UPGRADED INJECTION SYSTEM, THAT HAS A ONE MICRON INJECTOR.. AFTER A SHORT TIME THE INJECTORS BECOME PLUGGED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM REACTS BY SOMETIMES DECELERATING AND OTHER TIMES THE ENGINE TRIES TO RUN AWAY OR ACCELERATE WITHOUT YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL, THE TIMES THAT HAPPENED WAS FORTUNATELY AT A LIGHT WITH ENGINE IDLING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH THE 2005 AND 2006 TRUCKS REPAIRED BY DODGE NO WARRANTY REPAIR AT GREAT COST THEY SAY BAD FUEL THAT IS THEIR STANDARD LINE, MET A GUY YESTERDAY WHO HAD 2004 HIS DID THIS ELEVEN TIMES, BAD FUEL BAD FUEL HE SAID ALL HIS FRIEND WERE BUYING DIESEL AT THE SAME PLACE, NO PROBLEM. I OWN FIVE DODGE CUMMINS PICKUPS HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THEY UPGRADED THEIR INJECTION SYSTEM....*JB

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60MPH, THE REAR WINDOW WAS ROLLED DOWN WHICH CAUSED BACK PRESSURE IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN BACK PRESSURE OCCURRED THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THIS CAUSED TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EAR PAIN TO THE BACK PASSENGERS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AND ENGINEERED THIS WAY AND OPERATES CORRECTLY. THE CONTACT INSTALLED AIR DEFLECTORS ON ALL 4 WINDOWS; HOWEVER THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
