| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving on a 4 lane highway at 65 miles per hour when i suddenly lost speed and the rpm were heading to redline. i hit my brake in the middle of traffic trying to keep from hurting my engine. when i got pulled to the side of the road i checked to see if i could go and i had no transmission. i only have 78,000 miles on my truck and don't pull heavy loads or load my pick-up with heavy loads. i have talked with other people that have the same year dodge pick-up and they have had similar problems. i am having my transmission replaced along with the transmission cooler because it has parts of my clutch in it. i found 5 people in my county that have had problems with their 98 pick-ups and have had them fixed and then traded them for another brand of vehicle. i would really like to know why nobody has investigated this or recalled the vehicle because of this problem. *nm |
