2001 Dodge Ram Pickup review from North America
"Too costly to own (gas and repair issues)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right around 70,000 miles the transmission started slipping in the lower gears.
At around 150,000 the torque converter seems to be engaging and disengaging at around 60 mph.
I don't know when it started this, but when the engine is working and it's climbing a hill or passing someone, transmission has a high pitch whine.
General comments?
Afraid to drive it long distances.
Bought another vehicle and only use this truck as a secondary.
Love the looks and roomy inside, but performance is unreliable.
Dealerships are very unreliable and manufacturer is not trustworthy.
