Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This truck body started breaking out behind the cab soon after I bought it. The engine has never ran right from day one. It was in the Dodge shop numerous times because of poor fuel milage, and then Dodge finally agreed to send the truck to cummins. Cummins found that truck had bad milage also and wrote letter to Dodge stating the problems they found. Dodge more or less said tough, don't bother us! The engine had boken push rod at low milage and now an injector melted top out of piston ruining the engine.”
NHTSA complaint #10070200, filed 2004-01, 17,000 miles“My local Dodge dealer has a bulletin on a higher output water pump for the v-10 motor, due to low heat output. My truck windshield iced up during driving allowing 0 visibility out on a country road. The thermostat failed and a 120 amp fuse link blew per my local Dodge dealer..my truck still puts out low heat temp. So I need to know if chrysler is responsible since there is a bulletin out on it.? Thank you.”
