2002 Dodge RAM Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“1) electrical problems. Lights kept going in and out 2) dash cracking and crumbling. Pieces falling into air vents and preventing windshield from defrosting! Dangerous! Could cause an accident. Dash is in such bad shape that if passenger air bag were to be deployed it could kill someone due to flying pieces of hard plastic all over the vehicle. Make Dodge recall this product! What are you waiting for? You already have thousands of complaints for this problem!”

“Truck began to vibrate dramatically upon braking. The rotors were warped, the brake pads in the front were too small and was causing the problem, a clunking noise had started coming from the rear as time progressed and returned after repairs. At 30,000 miles the entire rear differentail went out.”

“The consumer placed the vehicle into park, while exiting the vehicle the door knocked the consumer to the ground. The vehicle continued to roll into a creek. The consumer stated that the gear was in park, however she was not sure if it came out of park. The manufacture will be contacted.”

“Pulled off interstate for gas and heard rear differential making a loud grinding noise. Vehicle was pulling a small utility trailer. Paint has been bubbling off the differential. Dealer found entire differential and rear axle bearings needed to be replaced. Repair was done at dealership, and upon returning home, the rear end failed again , same symptoms. Entire differential and rear axle bearings were replaced a second time.***** dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis******769323.”

“As a state trooper, I have had a rancher explain to me that three of his 2002 Dodge 4x4 trucks have had the transfer case and drive axle explode . One incident sent a part through the floorboard of the truck into the cab. Could these incidents be associated with the june 13, 2002 recall on brakes? The conversation came up when I told the rancher of my newly purchased Dodge pick-up truck. Thank you.”
