The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 130,000. Complaint Number: 10260831 Incident Date: January 5, 2009 Date Added to File: March 5, 2009 Description of the Complaint: The contact owns a 2002 dodge durango. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000. It is designed for rear wheel drive vehicles and is usually paired with the smaller V8 engines. Also under hard braking the engine would stall. The vehicle was not repaired.
If you manually pull the gear selector into first it goes right in. I continued to drive the vehicle for a few more weeks and noticed that a new problem had emerged. The dealer rebuilt the transmission, but the failure continued. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop and the technician stated that a solenoid failed. Changed the cam and crank sensors and it ran normally for a test drive and thought I had it fixed.
I expect to be using it a lot in the future and that will include towing it up some pretty steep grades in the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado. He had to shift into reverse in order to turn off the vehicle. The current and failure mileages were 76,000. They could not determine the cause of the failure; however, they stated that it was not due to the transmission. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they were unable to diagnose the failure.
No repairs have been made. So it wont come out of park until it runs for a few minutes? To start the vehicle, he had to shift into neutral and apply the emergency brake again to keep the vehicle from rolling away. It took us a long time to get the smell out. The only other candidates that I could think of based on my research were the governor solenoid and governor pressure sensor. It is fairly common for these.
The contact had shift into neutral and park on a flat surface since otherwise it would roll away. There is a reason for this difference in warranties. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. We called jim's Dodge and told them about the smell and they told us that there was nothing tha they could do about it. At first thought shift linkage freezing in winter weather but now have had problem on days with extended hours of temps well above freezing. I would recommend you to fix this problem if not you will end up burning the clutches in the trans.
Hello, When I get into my vehicle and put it into drive it takes off like normal. The contact was unable to place the vehicle into drive. Using a can of starting fluid or Brake cleaner spray lightly spray around our engine til you hear the motor rev-up and the spot you have sprayed will determine where your vaccum leak will be. I had to replace the whole transmission. Ideally you want the transmission to get no higher than 200 degrees. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.
The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The steering wheel became unlocked. I had to replace the whole transmission. Didn't happen again, but dealer replaced shifter module. The vehicle has come back with a very bad smell in it.
The contact stated that there was oil leakage in cold weather. After I replaced that item, I noticed no difference. The vehicle was parked and restarted. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer. The current and failure mileages were 76,000. It ended up running into the side of my home.
