Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2001 dodge ram started stalling out so i called for an appointment to have the censor checked out. they said that wasn't it - it was the transmission itself and they would have to drop the pan, that was fine until they told me there was at least a 1/2 inch of shavings in the pan and that they had never seen that amount in a newer truck- especially with my milage being so low. this sets off an alarm that this is a factory defect. i contacted the manager and he was suppose to get back to me-which he hasn't as of yet...surprise. oh yes, in order to fix this because the warranty had run out 2000 miles prior it would cost me $5,395.14. (now being disable this is sure a boost to me) and that isn't even checking out the 4 wheel drive which it has bound to effect also. the warrenty was for 36000 miles and i have 39000 on it now. it has cost me 200.00 to find this out and also the service manager said because i didn't use their services for oil changes and transmission checks he would probably not get as much help for me and in the contract it said as long as i used a license facility it would be covered and i used jiffy lube. i think this is wrong-they are just about saying for not using our facility you are going to be punished and not get the help you need. i am guessing on the date of purchase.*ak
