2001 Dodge RAM 1500

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 SPORT(NA). WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR AND THE SHAFT ON THE REAR END SPLIT AND DISCONNECTED; IT BEGAN DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. THE CONTACT INSPECTED AND NOTICED THAT A BIG NUT WAS HOOKED UNDERNEATH FOUR OTHER BOLTS WHICH WAS LOOSE FROM THE TREAD. HE RE-HOOKED THE NUT TO GATHER IN ORDER TO HAVE THE DRIVE SHAFT STAY INTACT. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 144,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, SHE DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE ENTIRE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FAILED. THE CONTACT MOVED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROADWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO PARK BUT THE SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN THE DRIVE GEAR. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE SHIFTER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ENGAGING. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR WHENEVER SHE WOULD DRIVE OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE. IN ADDITION, OFTEN WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR, THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER AN UNKNOWN RECALL AND THE FAILURES DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE NOT RELATED TO THE FAILURE THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM TRUCK. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED FROM A DEALERSHIP WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. ONE WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION BLEW. I HAD TO PAY $1500 TO GET IT FIXED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK SINCE I BOUGHT IT. NO BODY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IM OUT ALL THIS MONEY AND THE TRUCK IS WORTHLESS TO ME. EVERYONE I TALK TO THAT OWNS ONE OF THESE TRUCKS HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS "EVERYONE". I THINK THE CHRYSLER CORP. SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS! *TR

I HAVE REPLACED 4 46RE TRANSMISSIONS IN MY 01 DODGE RAM SPORT 4X4. THE 46RE IS A TERRIBLE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ARE KNOWN FOR BEING BAD. THEY EVEN HAVE THAT AS A REPUTATION. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY CONSUMERS. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH 4 TRANSMISSION FROM 46,000MILES TO 109,000 MILES, AND I NEED TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT IS IN IT NOW. IT HAS FAILED OUT OF NOWHERE WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. IT COSTS ATLEAST 2000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I'VE HAD TO PAY FOR 1 OF THEM BECAUSE THEY AREN'T COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

2001 DODGE QUAD CAB PICKUP HAS FAILING WIRING IN STEERING COLUMN WHICH MAKES TRUCK DIE WHILE DRIVING . WHICH IN TURN THERE IS NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING AND NO ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS THAT MAKES THE TRUCK RUN . DEAD ON THE ROAD LITERALLY. WHO KNOWS AT WHAT SPEEDS THIS PROBLEM MAY OCCUR. LUCKILY, IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE GOING SLOW AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. NO KNOWN HUMAN DEATHS YET THAT I HAVE HEARD OF FROM THIS. IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED WITH WIRING HARNESS THERE WILL BE DEATHS, I'M PRETTY SURE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO DO MY BEST TO KEEP MY FAMILY AND OTHER FAMILIES SAFE. THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH BEFORE SOMEONE DOES DIE UNNECESSARILY IN AN ACCIDENT THAT CAN BE AVOIDED BY REPLACING THE PROBLEM PART OF THE PICKUP. *TR THE BEARING CLUTCH, REAR CARRIER BEARING, AXLE SEALS, ROTORS, POWER STEERING PUMP, PINION CARRIER BEARINGS WERE ALL REPLACED. ALSO, THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE CENTER SEAT CONSOLE BOLTING SYSTEM FELL OUT OF THE TRUCK, THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD PANEL AND HOUSING AROUND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS CRACKED IN FOUR PLACES. THE GASKET ON THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING. THE GASKET, WATER AND TIMING CHAIN WERE REPLACED. THE CLUTCH FAILED, DUE TO THE WRONG YEAR TRANSMISSION BEING INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. A 2000 TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE, INSTEAD OF A 2001. UPDATED 10/15/14

PURCHASED TRUCK NEW IN 2001. IN 2004 TRUCK STARTED SHIFTING HARD INTO 4TH. ALSO AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT IN HIGH HUMIDITY WOULD START ROUGH OR NOT START AT ALL. WOULD ONLY START AFTER ENGINE WARMED OR "DRIED" OUT. PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS ON EITHER PROBLEM. 2007; THROTTLE SENSOR WENT OUT. NOV 2007, TRUCK WOULD START OUT IN 2ND GEAR, WOULD NOT SHIFT DOWN INTO 1ST. THREE DAYS LATER TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT AT ALL, HAD TO DRIVE HOME A TOP SPEED OF 25 MPH AT 2,000 RPM'S. IT'S NOW GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

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. *TR
