2002 Dodge RAM 2500

TRUCK HAS 52000 MILES, 5.9L GAS ENGINE, 4 SPEED AUTO TRANNY, AND HAS BEEN BABIED, NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD OR PULLED A TRAILER. ON 8/17/2007 I MADE A COUPLE OF SHORT TRIPS AND WHEN GOT HOME I WENT TO BACK INTO DRIVEWAY AND REVERSE GEAR DID NOT ENGAGE. IT WORKED FINE EARLIER THAT DAY, THEN NOTHING. PUT MY OBD-II SCANNER ON IT AND NO CODE, CHECKED LINKAGE AND IT IS IN PROPER WORKING ORDER. *JB

2002 DODGE RAM 2500 3/4 TON DIESEL,4 SPD AUTO TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ALWAYS DOWN SHIFT IN TO 1ST GEAR AFTER A STOP. TRANS STARTS IN 2ND GEAR MAKING ACCELERATION VERY SLUGGISH. JUNE 1, 2005 HAD DEALER REPLACE GOVERNOR SOLENOID AND PRESSURE SENSOR TRANSDUCER AT A COST OF OVER $700. TRUCK ONLY HAD 88240 MILES. SEPTEMBER 28, 2006, THE VERY SAME SYMPTOMS PLAQUE THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN, WITH 133840 MILES. *JB

DT: 2002 DODGE RAM 2500 HD QUAD CAB 4 WHEEL DRIVE SLT. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT LEAST 15 TIMES FOR NOT HAVING ANY POWER. THIS HAPPENED MAINLY WHEN TOWING A TRAILER. PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE TRUCK THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND FUEL PUMP. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES LAST YEAR. THE DEALER SAID THAT TRANSMISSION WAS NOT PROGRAMMED FOR THE SIZE TIRES THAT WERE ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO, TURBO- CHARGER WAS BAD, AND THEY REPLACED IT, BUT, IT DID NOT WORK. TOOK BACK VEHICLE O DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED ALL PARTS AGAIN. THE LAST TIME THAT CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE TO BE DONE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A 5.9 LITER HO CUMMINGS ENGINE, TURBO DIESEL, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER WHEN PULLING A TRAILER.*AK

MY DODGE 2500 QUAD CAB TRUCK WITH CUMMINS ENGINE HAS SUFFERED IT SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN 14 MONTHS. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE DEALERHIP WILL FIX, HOWEVER THIS LEVEL OF FAILURE IS EXTREEME FOR A NEW VEHICLE. THE CURRENT FAILURE FEELS LIKE THE AUTO TRANSMISSION LOCK UP WILL NOT DIS-ENGAGE WHEN COMMING TO A STOP. EXTREEME BRAKE PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO KEEP TRUCK FROM BOLTING AT STOP LIGHTS. MY TRUCK IS STOCK. I BELIEVE THE TRANMISSION MUST HAVE A SERIOUS DEFECT. I AM WORRIED THAT THE WARRANTY WILL SOON EXPIRE, AND I WILL BE FACED WITH HUGE REPAIR BILLS ON THIS BASICALLY NEW TRUCK.

TRANSFER CASE HAS GONE OUT FOUR TIMES IN VEHICLE, ALWAYS WHILE DRIVING. ON TWO OCCASIONS TRANSFER CASE DISINTEGRATED. CONSUMER SAW SMOKE COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE, THEN HEARD PIECES FALLING AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE, THEN SLOW DOWN. ON TWO OCCASIONS CONSUMER HEARD NOISES, AND TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHERE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED. *AK
