Beware of Billion Dodge!!!!

bobcat67 · 11-04-2008, 09:56 PM

I recently had the opportunity to visit Billion Dodge in Bozeman, MT because i have transmission failure, i get a call from the dealership at work and they say a motor mount is broken which caused the tranny to become damaged and because i have a lift and bigger than factory tires on it they will not honor the warranty because it could've caused the motor mount to fail. I talked to 5 different transmission shops today in different areas and they all said a motor mount will not mess up the transmission internally(like billion told me) they said it could perhaps crack the tranny casing but chances are with the diesel i would've been able to tell that something else was wrong before any damage to the transmission was done, I'm no mechanic but i can tell when something isn't working correctly in a vehicle, anyway if you want to buy a truck and plan on doing any modifications i would buy elsewhere

I have never been a fan of Dealerships either, for these reasons....

I too have heard quite a few bad things about Billion Dodge, and your experience fits right in with all the stories. And I've not had a much better experience from Billion GMC. My wife bought a rig from Billion GMC and had to work with the service dept. once, and that was enough of that. I definately would not take my truck in to Billion Dodge after the stories I've heard. I haven't had to take my truck in yet so I don't know from personal experience, but maybe give Yellowstone in Livingston a try. They're probably just like every other dealership but it might be worth a shot.

yeah to late for me, billion red flagged the truck so warranty work will no longer ever be able to be done by any dealership

thought about a lawyer but by the time it's all said and done it'll just cost less to get a high performance tranny that won't go out in 24k miles
