problem #1

Jan 102006

(reported on)

Ram 1500

  • 245,000 miles

Left me stranded 15 miles away from town when GF left in second gear about 20 mph past shift point for 25 mins. Horrible, had to get a ride in an Intrepid all the way to town. Then paid 75 for the tow. Truck was babied its whole life. It has only towed up to 2x the listed max, drove at top speed for up to an hour on the highway, burnouts/break tourqes (till a tire went), dougnuts, over loaded, about 80k "hard" city cruising miles neutral drops, and of course a female driver, NEVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN.
