TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500. AFTER PUTTING 400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, IT BEGAN OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CAP. WHEN THE WINDOWS WERE ROLLED DOWN, THEY WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. IN ADDITION, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIM WHEN THE WINDOWS WERE ROLLED UP AND DOWN. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 5-10 MPH UPHILL, THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. THE BOLTS WERE NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED. THE CD CHANGER HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER FAILING TWICE. THERE WAS ALSO A GRINDING NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE SHIFTER WAS PLACED INTO GEAR, AND THERE WAS A HESITATION WHEN PLACING THE GEAR INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REBUILT, BUT THE VEHICLE IS STILL GRINDING AND HESITATING WHEN PLACED INTO GEAR, DRIVE, OR REVERSE. ON MAY 22, 2008, THE VEHICLE WILL BE...
DT: NOTICED ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2005 THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A LOUD TICKING NOISE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, ONE SAID IT WAS THE VALVE TRAIN ,AND THE OTHER DEALER SAID IT WAS EXHAUST SYSTEM ECHOING. BOTH DEALERS SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO SOUND LIKE THAT. COULD STAND TWO TO THREE HUNDRED FEET AWAY AND HEAR IT ROAR, AND EVEN IF IM INSIDE A VEHICLE. WHEN FIRST STARTING IT UP IT DOESN'T MAKE THE SOUND RIGHT AWAY. BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP IT MAKES THIS SOUND EVERY TIME WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE . *AK

THE ENGINE OF MY VEHICLE HAS A BAD VIBRATION BETWEEN 1000-1500 RPM. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS AFTER THREE SEPERATE VISITS: FAN CLUTCH, TORQUE CONVERTER, FLEX PLATE, HARMONIC BALANCER, TRANSMISSION MOUNT TO CROSSMEMBER, AND CHANGED THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO A 1997 VERSION. I FILED A LEMON LAW CLAIM WITH THE MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER THEY NOW STATE IT IS A NORMAL PROBLEM. A MOTOR VIBRATION WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL PREMATURELY IE; BROKEN CRANKSHAFT, OR OTHER INTERNAL COMPONENTS RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND UNDRIVABLE. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN DRIVING, IN NEUTRAL, AND PARK. REPAIRS ATTEMPTED BY THE DEALER HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *AK
