4 Transmission Failure problem of the 2002 Dodge Ram 2500

Failure Date: 06/03/2005

My Dodge 2500 quad cab truck with cummins engine has suffered it second transmission failure in 14 months. It is still under warranty, and the dealerhip will fix, however this level of failure is extreeme for a new vehicle. The current failure feels like the auto transmission lock up will not dis-engage when comming to a stop. Extreeme brake pressure is required to keep truck from bolting at stop lights. My truck is stock. I believe the tranmission must have a serious defect. I am worried that the warranty will soon expire, and I will be faced with huge repair bills on this basically new truck.

I was traveling in canada towing my fifth wheel win the transmission failed. We glided to the side of the road barely out of danger. The truck was towed to authorize Chrysler dealer in st. Johns canada. The mechanic indicated the engine producers to much torque for the transmission to handle. I had the trailer weighed and it was 67 hundred pounds well within the range of the truck and transmission. My main concern now is fear this will occur again even though Chrysler payed the bill I now an apprehensive about towing! hope you can provide some more information as I have been told his is a common problem with Chrysler transmission.
