My vehicle has just under 50,000 miles (not hard miles)

My vehicle has just under 50,000 miles (not hard miles) on it. In March of this year the transmission started to slip. I took it to the same dealership I bought it from. $1000 later they said that there were no noticable issues and no metal shavings when they changed the transmission filter and pan. Fast forward to now, I just finished a drive from Kansas to Mississippi and the transmission has blown. The place it is at right now says that there was no fluid and that the transmission pump is gone. I stated that it was not leaking and they said that is was blown from the top side of the transmission and that it was leaking ONLY when driving. I did not see any leaks or drips on the ground where I parked lately either. They said that this has been a long known Dodge transmission issue. Now I have to decide whether to put in a rebuilt transmission or new. I owe $3000 still on this thing.
