THE THROTTLE LINKAGE IS A RECALL. I TOOK IT TO DOUGLAS CHRYSTLER JEEP DODGE RAM DEALER IN VENICE, FL AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP ME BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ONCE. SEEING THAT IT IS A SAFETY RECALL I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT BUT WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY REPLACE A RECALL ITEM ONCE. VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT AND IDLES HIGH.
I OWN A 1998 DODGE RAM 2500, I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ON MULTIPLE DODGES AND READ ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET, THE FRONT LOWER AXLE MOUNT ROTS OUT DUE TO POOR DESIGN LEAVING NOTHING TO HOLD THE SPRING IN PLACE MY COIL MOUNT IS ROTTED OUT AND THERE IS BARELY ANY LEFT OF IT, AND DODGE NOR DO ANY AUTO PART STORES SELL COIL MOUNTS TO REPLACE IT THE MOUNT IS WELDED DIRECTLY ON THE AXLE SO THE AXLE HOUSING WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, THIS IS VERY UNSAFE IF THE AXLE WERE TO GIVE OUT DEW TO THIS. *TR
I HAVE A 1998 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL WHICH I BOUGHT IN 1999 AND IN MAY 2001 THE DASH CRACKED. I BOUGHT A NEW ONE BUT THE DEALER WANTS $400.00 TO INSTALL IT. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THE DASHES IN THESE TRUCKS. AND A RECALL IS PENDING. *JB
THE DASH BOARD ON MY TRUCK IS CRACKING AND I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE AIR BAG BEING RENDERED USELESS AS A RESULT OF THIS AND ALSO THE DANGERS TO MYSELF AND POSSIBLE PASSENGERS DUE TO THE BROKEN PIECES OF DASH BEING THROWN AROUND IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *JB
1998 DODGE RAM 2500 24 VALVE CUMMINS DIESEL DASH BOARD CRACKING SEVERELY, ANTI LOCK BRAKES NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, OVERDRIVE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AROUND 45 MPH. AFTER TRYING SEVERAL REMEDIES. *JB

I HAVE HAD THE STEERING DAMPER REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME WHY THIS HAPPENS AND THE DEALER HAS NO ANSWER EITHER. ALL THE COMPONENTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE "HEAVY-DUTY". BRAKING IS BECOMING MORE OF A PROBLEM AS THE BRAKES WEAR DOWN. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 21,000 MILES ON IT. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY, BUT, THEY DO WORK W/ THE REMOTE ENTRY. I ALSO NOTICED THE HORN ACTUATOR IS HARD TO ACTIVATE DUE TO THE HARD "LEATHER" FOR THE AIRBAG COVER. THE DRIVER'S DOOR KEEPS GETTING MISSALIGNED, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A VEHICLE HAVING THIS MUCH OF A PROBLEM LIKE IT.
