What 1995 Dodge Ram Van owners say
Transmission & drivetrain
Transmission failure experienced as soon as the extended warranty expired. I told the facility where I took the Van that the torque converter needed replacing, they did everything to the transmission but that. I had to take it back and have that done to correct the problem. My bill was $1,593.44. I happened to search the internet and saw the difficulties experienced with these transmissions, so would like to have my money back.
Transmission leaking and would not move due to failure of the cooler line quick connect fittings (recall component), recall performed however failed due to wrong part installation and needed full replacement of transmission due to damage.
