Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have a 2003 Dodge ram 1500 quad cab with the 4.7 liter engine. It has approximately 94,000 miles on it. In the beginning of december (at about 90,000 miles), the throttle cable began sticking in cold weather (about 25f and below). My wife and I purchased the truck in september of 2003 when it had approximately 6,000 miles on it. I did not have any problems with the throttle cable until december of 2006. As the engine warmed up, the cable would stop sticking. On very cold mornings, even after the engine warmed up, the cable would start to stick while driving down the road. …”
