NHTSA Complaint #714880 — 1998 DODGE RAM

MY NAME IS JOHN SIMONELLI AND I PURCHASED A DODGE RAM TRUCK. I HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT LIKE BRAKES,AIR, FUEL PROBLEMS, RAIDIATOR, AND WORSE OF ALL STALLING ON LEFT TURNS. I REPORTED TO BELL DODGE OF MY TRUCK STALLING ON LEFT TURNS. THEY LOOKED AT IT ONCE AND SAID THE TRUCK WAS OK. AFTER THAT I TOOK THE TRUCK DOWN TO THE DEALER EACH TIME REPORTING OF INCIDENT. ALL THEY DID WAS DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM AND SEND ME AWAY. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM DESPITE THE DANGER THE TRUCK WAS TO ME AND OTHERS. TO PROVE MY CASE I HAD TO PUSH THEM TO HOOK UP A CO-PILOT FOR READINGS. THE COMPUTER WOULD SHOW THE VEHICLE DIED FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. HOWEVER THE CO-PILOT WOULD NOT TELL THEM HOW TO FIX PROBLEM SO THEIR FOR THE PROBLEM DID NOT EXCIST. THEN I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A CAM-CORDER TO RECORD PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SO I WAS FORCED TO SELL VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT GIVE ME A NEW TRUCK. I HAVE TOO MUCH TO SAY SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL ME. I TOOK A 14,500 DOLLAR LOSS ON MY VEHICLE, SOMEONE ELSE IS DRIVING THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE, AND FINALY BOTH BELL DODGE AND DALMLER CHRYSLER IGNORED MY LAWYER WHICH COST ME AN ADDITIONAL 2,600. *AK
