Could you please link to statistics that show the Dodge transmissions had a higher than average failure rate.

I have seen failure rate comparisons that show the 48RE had lower failure rates year for year compared to the GM Allison. Chris

It does not matter. It is the perception is reality aspect. That is the ugly part of marketing. Much like the "perception" that foreign makes are superior to the domestics. There are those that believe it and you need to work that much harder to persuade them to try something they feel is inferior true or not. Where did the reputation of the bad dodge transmissions or bodies that fall apart before the drivetrain dies start. I don't know but at some point there must have been some truth to it. Chrysler has done a good job recently getting past some old bias and are winning back customers. It has not been easy and certainty not fast.
