“The frame on my truck is rusting out from underneath of its self, which is leading to crack in spots. The date provided below is an about date. I took my truck in for tire work and asked the guys if he could look over my truck to see if there is something that I might have missed, I do it quarterly. They told me that my frame was cracked and rotting out from underneath of its self. I can't find anyone that will fix it,”
NHTSA complaint #11342892, filed 2020-08, 148,000 miles“I hit a bump going down the road at 65 MPH the whole front end started shaking so bad I couldn't see the road I finally got it to stop when I got slowed down to 40 MPH I have been replacing front end parts but no luck what is going on”
NHTSA complaint #11193206, filed 2019-04, 178,000 miles“My dash is falling apart. I'm concerned that if there is an accident the broken pieces of the plastic dash will fly around putting out an eye or impaling someone. I feel this is a real safety issue. Someone said that it is cosmetic, I disagree. If it were on the out side of the vehicle, I would have no concern. The problem is, it's inside where people ride. Is it going to take an accident with injuries from the broken dash to get a class action lawsuit, so be it. General motors found out about procrastinating on known problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10905918, filed 2016-09, 70,000 miles“Driving on the turnpike and had accelerated to speed between 65 and 70 MPH when right front tire went across seam in concrete roadway. Was not a big bump have passed over it since and before in car and never felt it. Suddendly truck went into an uncontrollable wobble very severe with my gearshift moving from side to side as if going to fly off. I had to brake suddenly almost causing a rearend collision and I took up two lanes getting it under controll also nearly having a wreck! This happens often at speeds near the same. …”
NHTSA complaint #10722212, filed 2015-05, 115,252 miles“A few years ago the dash started cracking. The dash is made of a hard plastic about 1/4 thick. The cracks generally run from front to back not sideways. I kept thinking if I was to have a car accident those cracks and shards of thick plastic would severly cut me up. Last summer I duct taped all the cracks. Just recently I took the truck in for air bag recall, now the dash is in worse shape. They told me at the dealer (lithium Dodge of bryan, texas) that doing the recall more cracking would occur. They said most Dodge trucks have this cracking dash problem. …”
