WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 55, THE TWO REARVIEW MIRRORS ON BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE WILL GRADUALLY TURN INWARD AND CONSUMER CAN'T SEE WHATS BEHIND HIM. ALSO, WIND MOVES WINDOWS INWARD. *AK *SLC

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES BROKE, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT BUT IT ONLY COVERED GASOLINE MODELS, NOT DIESEL. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THERE WERE TWO INSTANCES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CONNECTIONS BLEW OUT. *YH

FUELGUAGE MISREAD AMOUNT OF FUEL IN VEHICLE . DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

WAS DRIVING ON E-WAY GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN HOOD FLEW UP AND SMASHED INTO WINDSHIELD THE HOOD HAS NOT BEEN OPEN SINCE NOV. 21ST ,2000 WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND THIS HAPPENED ON FEB. 1ST, 2001 THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE HOOD HAD BEEN RELEASED AND WHEN WE PULLED ON THE RELEASE LEVER INSIDE TRUCK THE LATCH UNDER THE HOOD DOES NOT MOVE THERE ARE NO BROKEN PARTS ON THE LATCH EITHER. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 (WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET)THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BACK BROKE COMPLETLY OFF OF THE SEAT BOTTOM CAUSING ME TO FALL BACKWARD INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND MOMENTARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BUT A LESS EXPERENCED DRIVER MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE. DODGE HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO REPAIR THE SEAT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR WHICH I AM RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR AT MY OWN COST. I BELIVE THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER.*AK
