Consumer Description

PURCHASED 2002 DODGE RAM USED. AT FIRST SERVICE INTERVAL, RACK AND PINION BOOTS WERE LEAKING, MAIN SEAL WAS SHOT. ALSO HAD MANIFOLD LEAK, ALONG WITH A STEERING PROBLEM THAT CAUSES SHAKING AT 40 MPH. STEERING PROBLEM STILL REMAINS, AND THERE IS A LOUD RATTLE THAT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE, MOST RECENTLY, MY FUEL PUMP DECIDED TO QUIT WORKING. ALSO, THE INTERIOR TRIM, NAMELY THE HAND GRIPS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, DUE TO THE CHEAP PLASTIC THAT IS USED AS A HOLDING RING. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT HEADACHES WITH THE TRUCK, FROM THE SIMPLE THINGS, TO THE EXPENSIVE THINGS...WAS JUST TOLD THAT MY HEAD GASKETS ARE SHOT AS WELL, HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ON THIS TRUCK, WITH NO RETURNS, DO NOT GET THIS YEAR/MODEL OF RAM 1500. *JB
