| I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500. it was bought in november 2005. the transmission started leaking so i took into the dealership that i bought it from. it is a silicone seal on the transmission was it was leaking. the dealership replaced the seal. the next day it was leaking way worse than before. i called the dealership and let them know of the problem and they told me that they could replace it again but most likely it would still leak because it was a silicone seal and they couldn't put any other seal on it because it was against dodges regulations. that is what the put on the truck from the factory so the can't put anything else on it. so the transmission will continue to leak. i don't agree with this especially the amount of money that i paid for the vehicle and also my safety as well as others. also it is still under warranty. so now if this problem isn't fixed my transmission will have to be replaced. *jb | |||
