I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 2500 PICKUP, THE DASH STARTED CRACKING LAST YEAR. I WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR A FEW WEEKS CAME HOME AND NOTICED A LARGE AREA ON MY DASH CAVED IN , THE PLASTIC IS REAL BRITTLE I AM AFRAID SOMEONE MIGHT CUT THEMSELVES ON IT AND IT LOOKS REALLY BAD. *TR
WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 DODGE 2500 4WD PICKUP, THE CABLE PART OF THE SPARE TIRE LIFT ASSEMBLY FAILED AND ALLOWED THE SPARE WHEEL/TIRE TO BECOME FREE FROM IT'S HOLDING AND FELL TO THE PAYMENT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING ME FOR IF THEY WERE THEY WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY HIT THE WHEEL AND AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY (IES) TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED ON SEPT1 IN ROCKWELL, TEXAS. I REPORTED THIS TO ROCKWALL DODGE SERVICE DEPT AND TOLD THEM IT WAS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS BUT DID NOT ATTEMPT TO NOTIFY THE DODGE HEADQUARTERS TO MY KNOWLEDGE. THEY ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND GAVE ME A DATE YOU COME IN TO HAVE THE ASSEMBLY REPLACED. IN THE MEAN TIME I CALLED THE DODGE CORPORATION AND REPORTED THIS INCIDENT STRESSING AGAIN THE SAFETY ISSUE AND POSSIBILITY OF A DESIGN DEFECT. 9/21/10...
MY BRAKES AND STEERING HAVE FAILED FOUR TIMES ON MY DODGE RAM. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CHRYSLER AND IN BOTH CASES THE REPRESENTATIVE REFUSED TO ASSIST ME. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES FAIL FOUR TIMES ON MY DODGE RAM 3/4 TON TRUCK. THEY SAID MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THAT I AM 2700 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY THAT IS ALL THAT CAN BE DONE. *JB
1. THE FIRST INCIDENT, MAY 11,2000 WAS A RECALL FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSFER PUMP DUE TO PREMATURE INTERNAL ARMATURE SHAFT BUSHING WEAR. THIS WAS A RECALL BY DODGE. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED AUGUST 24,2004. 2. THE FAILURE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RUN EXTREMELY ROUGH, AND MAKES THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WOULD CAUSE A SUDDEN SLOWDOWN OF THE VEHICLE. 3. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE TRANSFER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY, THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES ON IT. THE COST TO REPLACE THESE PUMPS CAN BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH DODGE TRUCKS WHICH HAVE THE CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE.*AK
