Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My husband ordered this truck in late 1997. we purchased it new and have had numerous problems with the vehicle. the biggest problem we have faced is the transmission. mid-april 1998 the first problems occured with slippage, the transmission cooling lines were replaced, one month later the torque converter went and repairs were made. now at 51,000 miles and very little driving for the last 2 yrs (since my husband has been sick with cancer) it has blown again. the front seals are leaking profusely. the rear window was leaking so badly at one point the entire ceiling inside was soaded. the abs computer went wacky on us early on also. the seatbelt has been twisted since we purchased the vehicle and we have not successfully fixed it. the extended warranty we purchased has gone out of business. i will not likely buy another dodge ever again. mercedes takes the cake.
