    WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. ISTEAD OF DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, THEY BLAMED IT ON ACID RAIN. WHEN DRIVING AROUND YOU SEE THE SAME MAKE, FROM THE YEAR 91' TO 93', PEELING IN THE SAME SPOT. I REALLY FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT DUE TO ACID RAIN, IT'S DUE TO THE PAINT JOB IN THESE MODELS. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK

    THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO LEAK HEAVILY AND SLOW TO SHIFT IINTO GEAR, FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED BURNED FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION AFTER HAVING RECENTLY BEEN CHANGED AND SERVICED. ALSO AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF METAL FILINGS IN OIL PAN AND ON FILTER. IT WAS REPORTED TO ME BY 2 TRANSMISSION REPAIR FACILITIES THAT DODGE HAD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PLANETARY GEARS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OIL DUE TO INSUFFICIENTLY SIZED ACCESS HOLES TO THE PLANETARY GEARS. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF DODGE HAD ANY TYPE OF RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM OR ASSISTANCE IN THIS AREA. *AK
