“Dashboard (badly cracked). At this point the dash on this vehicle have been breaking off like a wafer cookie and exposing the components underneath A/C ,electrical,steering components.”

NHTSA complaint #10376829, filed 2011-01, 62,000 miles

“Purchased 2002 Dodge ram used. At first service interval, rack and pinion boots were leaking, main seal was shot. Also had manifold leak, along with a steering problem that causes shaking at 40 MPH. Steering problem still remains, and there is a loud rattle that the dealership cannot find. This vehicle has been a nightmare, most recently, my fuel pump decided to quit working. Also, the interior trim, namely the hand grips on the driver and passenger door have been replaced numerous times, due to the cheap plastic that is used as a holding ring. Do not purchase this type of vehicle. …”
