I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB 4X4, VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND WAS NEVER ABUSED. ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WITHIN SEVERAL MONTHS ONE CRACK HAD GROWN TO 6 CRACKS. THEN ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO THE AIR WOULD NOT FLOW THROUGH THE DASH VENTS ANYMORE. IN ORDER TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM I HAD TO REMOVE THE DASH BOARD TO GET THE HEAT AND AIR SYSTEM. WHEN I REMOVED THE DASH BOARD IT CRUMBLED INTO ABOUT 20 PCS. UPON INSPECTION OF THE AIR PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THE BLEND DOOR THAT CONTROLS THE AIR TO THE DASH WAS BROKEN. SEEMS THIS IS A PROBLEM. I AM NOW HAVING TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD, FRONT AND REAR PC AND THE 4 BLEND DOORS IN THE AIR SYSTEM. WHILE REPLACING THE SHOCKS I NOTICED THE RACK AND PINION WAS LEAKING EXTREMELY...
2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB PU. CRACKED DASHBOARD. SHARP EDGES COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE. ALSO, THE SUN VISORS FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING TEMPORARY LIMITED VISIBILITY. *TR
2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB HAS A SURGING PROBLEM AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND IT IS READ AS TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR. THIS WAS REPLACED WITH A FACTORY SENSOR AND WITHIN 2 WEEKS IT DID IT AGAIN. AFTER 200 MILES THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE SURGING STOPPED ONLY TO START AND STOP REPEATEDLY UP TO THIS DATE, 8/23/2010. HOW CAN A SENSOR REPAIR ITSELF? IMPOSSIBLE! MILEAGE AT FIRST CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LESS THAN 100,000. ALSO DASH IS CRACKED TO A COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE LEVEL FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AND MILEAGE ON DASH AT 138,000 WITH CARE TAKEN TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND CONDITIONED. CRACKS BEGAN AT 85,000 MILES. WIPERS WHEN OPERATING ON HIGH WILL LOWER SPEED AND WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE FROM HIGH TO LOW INTERMITTENTLY UNLESS THEY ARE TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES. DO NOT CONSIDER...
TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHETHER THE LIGHT SWITCH WAS ON OF OFF AND THE KEY WAS IN THE RUN POSITION (STARTED OR NOT) AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I ABOUT HAD A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WHEN I FOUND OUT THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING, IMAGINE THAT! TOOK MY 2002 DODGE RAM 4X4, 3.7L QUAD CAB SPORT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE PDC (POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (FUSE BOX)) THAT THEY ARE PRONE TO CORROSION AND THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY OF THEM. WHY NO RECALL WHEN MANY LIVES ARE AT STAKE HERE AND SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE FOUND? COULD HAVE BEEN ME, AND I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT DEPEND ON ME, SO CHRYSLER OWN UP TO IT AND DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR
HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS, AND TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM PICKUP. HEADLIGHTS SWITCHED TO HIGH BEAM, WILL NOT SWITCH TO LOW BEAM AND VICE A VERSA. WIPERS WILL NOT GO TO STEADY WIPING, OR FAST WIPING SPORADICALLY. TURN SIGNALS WILL SIGNAL 'RIGHT TURN' WHEN I SWITCH THE LEVER FOR A 'LEFT TURN', AND VICE A VERSA, AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS YET, AND I HAVE REFRAINED FROM DRIVING AT NIGHT OR WHEN IT IS RAINING IF POSSIBLE. *TR
