Example complaints
Engine cooling: “2000 Dodge ram engine needs to be replaced.***no answer required***. The consumer was told the engine needed to be replaced because of a failure with the lower end connecting rod bearing. The consumer was informed it would cost 14,000 to replace it.”
NHTSA complaint #10121482, filed 2005-05Body and structure: “I have a 2000 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 pick up truck. The dash has a major crack from the defroster vent to the air bag cover. I can look into the crack and see exposed wires. I also have a crack staring on the drivers side, starting at the defroster vent and it is going towards the steering wheel. I didn't think about it much, but I have searched online and have found an unbelievable amount of Dodge owners with this same problem. I am concerned that if I were to get into a wreck that the dash could break away or shatter sending sharp plastic pieces flying inside the truck. …”
