2500 SLT 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 44,739 miles

Had to have truck towed to dealership from outside town, 22km cost $190. After problem was diagnosed, which didn't take long... like they already had an idea what to look for. The Dealership Service Manager said that all makes of vehicles had these issue. He used to work for Mercedes and they also had TIPM issues.

After looking online, I only see Dodge having numerous sites indicating TIPM issues. I believe the dealership is well aware of these issues and rather than being HONEST and upfront and perhaps giving the customer a break on repair costs, they screw us.
