Dodge Repair: Transmission and radiator, powertrain warranty, dodge neon
QuestionI have a 2003 Dodge Neon that a dealership indicated that the radiator "went bad". The result is that antifreeze has leaked into the transmission. What would need to go bad for this to occur? Also at issue is the fact that extended powertrain warranty is said to not apply as the radiator is the cause versus something in the transmission that would be covered. Can you offer ann opinion on that as well?
Thanks
Answerif the tranny cooler is built into the radiator and it cracked inside and cause the coolant and tranny fluid to mix then yeah U would need a new radiator and some how clean out the tranny fluid. I can no offer any help with the warranty the power train is what it said power train the radiator is not part and if it cause internal damage to the tranny it is still not covered. This would go along the same line as say a suspension part broke and it flew up and put a hole in the tranny case. Same deal its not an internal issue with the tranny is was caused by something else and thus not covered.
