“The dealership was unable to perform the ignition switch wiring recall #00v135000, and the throttle cable recall# 01v037000 because the parts were not available. It has been 60 days. Recall campaign; the consumer stated that it has now been 3 months and the parts are still not available. The consumer has since found a part on his own.”
NHTSA complaint #10107299, filed 2005-03, 300,000 miles“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“Dodge RAM trucks have a known history of self sustaining vibration or shimmy after striking a small bump, or offset in the road. See Dodge TSB 19-05-96 and other steering related issues. We have had our vehicle worked on twice due to extremely violent shimmying that has nearly caused complete loss of control of the truck on 6 seperate occassions. Only by incredible luck and skill has there not been serious accidents and fatalities. …”
