2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 quad cab four by four review from North America
"I am torn between keeping it or not"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The torque converter came apart. Now it has a vibration between 40 to 60 miles per hour while accelerating.
I had that problem the first day after picking it up. I drove it for two weeks like this. They looked at it finally and told me that the torque converter needed to seat itself in, and that this would go away.
The reason that I took it back to them was the fact that it was still under warranty, but that the power steering pump failed also.
General comments?
The truck rides like a dream.
It rides better than my wifes Dodge Durango. I don't want to get rid of it, because this is my first experience with Dodge, however with what I have read from all of your other writers, I'm not sure that Dodge is the way to go. I'm looking at going back to Ford.
