Example complaints
Body and structure: “I have a 2001 Dodge ram 1500 slt quad cab that was purchased used in 2002. When I purchased the truck there were no problems. A couple months after I noticed a crack starting in the dash that ended up being the fist of many holes that formed in the dash. After doing some searching I found that I was not the only one with this problem. Almost everyone I talked to in town and across the us, via the internet, were experiencing the same problem I had. Some were very subtle while others were to the point of being dangerous. …”
NHTSA complaint #10217693, filed 2008-02, 67,000 milesSuspension: “Right front tire was wearing excessively. Upon further inspection, my mechanic found that the upper ball joints on my 4x4 were failing rapidly (had excessive play). My mechanic went on to say that I was very lucky this had not come apart while driving as it surely would have resulted in a roll-over. He further advised me to keep a very close watch for any signs of deterioration. Dealer says I have to buy the entire steering unit to fix the problem at approximately $750, but they are on a 45 day back order. It seems they cant be made quick enough. …”
NHTSA complaint #10102681, filed 2004-12, 80,000 milesEngine cooling: “While on my way to have my durango serviced for the recall to it's ball joints, my oil pressure dropped, the engine light came on and then the car died. All within a matter of minutes while I was driving on a highway. I had to have it towed to the dealership and they said I needed a new engine. They claimed it was a maintenance problem. I had the engine replaced at a local mechanic. I had a used engine put in and the old engine was traded in on the new one.”
