So back in January, I dropped my PreOwned 2011 1500 sport with Hemi 5.7 off at a Trans Shop, recommended by 2 friends. I had one month left on my extended warranty and issues surfaced. Shifting was off, acceleration was off, I’d hit the gas and nothing. Supposedly they fixed it, warranty company paid them over $2500 but they would wouldn’t give me a new transmission? After pick up, it still felt off. Not smooth or normal. (Reminder- I use my work truck a lot so I didn’t put many miles on it)
Check engine light came back on. Shifting is off again, power acceleration is so sluggish, I slam my foot on the floor and it barely moves. There’s times I’ll be driving on a highway, lay off the gas pedal and then go to accelerate again and nothing! No gas or accelerating/reaction from pedal to engine… delayed.
I bring the truck back, they replaced the oil control valve and sensor under the intake, said the mesh screen was missing? Said they flushed the engine but didn’t find anything? Told me to drive it and drive it. But I can’t drive it that much if the acceleration isn’t there….!?
Now he’s telling me my time chain may be stretched and they may have to do further diagnostic under the timing cover…!?
In my unprofessional opinion, the truck was never repaired properly. *Important information- my truck was at their shop for 7 weeks, it was also swiped by a plow during snow storm and had another week in the body shop!*.
I’ve spent ALOT of $$$$ on this truck for a 2011 PreOwned truck since 2019. Basic brakes and rotors, tires, starter, serpentine belt, battery, cam shaft, lifters/risers, gaskets and the whole nine, etc…. Now this engine/tranny problem for the last 6-9 months.
I am not a mechanic and know the bare minimum when it comes to engines and trannys. Does ANY of my story make any sense or sound like issues/repairs you’ve had or experienced!?
Any feedback is GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time, reading and hopefully replying.
