2003 DODGE RAM 1500 Equipment Problems

BESIDES HEAT NOT WORKING, NUMEROUS GAS CAP REPLACEMENTS, NUMEROUS SHORTS IN BRAKE LIGHT, RADIO CUTTING OFF, MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY IF TOUCHED BY YOUNGSTERS. APPARENTLY NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON ALL OF THE ABOVE!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED HE PURCHASED A SET OF GABRIEL ULTRA SHOCKS, MODEL NUMBER 1290-0875-40, THAT WERE INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE.

2003 DODGE RAM 1500 DASHBOARD CRACKED ALL OVER. WOULD DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TO WONDER IF AN AIRBAG WOULD DO ANY GOOD IF IT HITS THE SHARP PIECES OF THE DASH. OR WORSE IF A PERSON HIT THE SHARP PIECES. DODGE TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY A FEW TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM, BUT ALMOST EVERY TRUCK MADE AROUND 2003 HAS SAME PROBLEM TO SOME EXTENT. *TR

DRIVING MY 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 A WOMAN PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I T-BONED HER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOING 45 TOTALED OUT HER CAR MY AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF AND THE SEAT BELT NEVER LOCKED CAUSING ME TO GO FORWARD IN TO THE STEERING WHEEL I BENT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY LEFT KNEE CALLED DODGE AND THEY SENT SOMEONE OUT TO LOOK AT IT BY THE TIME THEY FINALLY CAM OUT IT HAD BEEN 11 DAY FROM THE TIME I CALLED THEM SO THE BODY SHOP HAD ALREADY STARTED TO REPAIR MY TRUCK I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL TODAY TELLING MY THAT "YOUR IMPACT WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE FRONT AIR BAGS" COME ON I WAS GOING 45 MPH HOW FAST WOULD I HAVE TO GO FOR THEM TO GO OFF. *TR

MY 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH IS CRACKING REALLY BAD. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. I FEEL THAT IF THE PLASTIC BREAKS INTO PIECES THEY COULD CAUSE BODILY HARM. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF VELOCITY AND COME TO A RAPID STOP OR IMPACT AN OBJECT IT MAY CAUSE A PIECE OF PLASTIC TO BREAK OFF OF THE DASH AND FLY INTO A PERSON POTENTIALLY HARMING THEM AND OR CAUSING DEATH. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THANK YOU MARCO. *TR

WATER LEAKING ON TO NUMBER 1 CYCLINDER CAUSING IT TO MISS FIRE.AS FAR AS I KNOW DODGE AINT SAYING A THING ABOUT THIS JUST GIVING TUNE UPS AND SENDING PEOPLE ON THERE WAY.ALSO BOTH DOORS ARE TEARING UP WEATHER STRIPPING ON BOTH SIDES OF VECHILE [ON SOME MODLES] THESE MODLES ARE DODGE RAMS 1500,2500.3500

(SECOND TIME) WE WHERE DRIVING ON THE 10 FWY WITH OUR GIRLS TO DROP THEM FOR THE WEEK BECAUSE WE WHERE GOING ON VACATION TO VEGAS. THAT IS WHEN THE "BRAND NEW TRUCK DIED" IT WAS DUE TO THE SAME REASONS SENSOR AND OTHER PROBLEM. IT HAD BEEN IN THE MOSS DODGE DEALERSHIP SINCE JUNE 13, 2003 . TODAY IS JUNE 20, 2003 WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM SINCE TUESDAY. AS WE WHERE DRIVING ON THE 10 FWY THE TRUCK DIED COMPLETELY WITH THE TRAFFIC BEHIND US IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS TRUCK IS NOT REPAIRABLE. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS TO MUCH WRONG WITH THIS TRUCKS SENSOR WHICH GIVE THE POWER TO DRIVE. THIS TRUCK TO ME AND MY FAMILY IS CONSIDER DANGEROUS TO DRIVE FROM THE EXPERIENCE WE HAD ON JUNE 13, 2003. WE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING BUT NOT EVEN...
