    DODGE HAS USED PLASTIC GAS LINES IN THE RAM TRUCK. A GROUND HOG NIPPED A GASLINE AND AN ELECTRICAL WIRE LOCATED NEAR THE GASLINE. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STARTED, THE ENGINE BURST INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPT HAD TO PUT OUT THE FIRE AND THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLED. PLASTIC GAS LINES SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED IN VEHICLES. ANY RODENT OR ROAD DEBRIS CAN PUNCTURE A GAS LINE CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

    THE TENSIONING CLIP FOR THE REAR AND PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELTS HAS FAILED TWICE SINCE PURCHASE. THESE CLIPS ARE MADE OF HARD PLASTIC AND HAVE SRINGS INSIDE TO PROVIDE TENSION TO KEEP BELT FROM SLIPPING. THE CLIPS ARE MANUFACTURED IN TWO PIECES AND SNAP TOGETHER. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THESE CLIPS WOULD HOLD UP IN A CRASH AND WOULD FAIL, ALLOWING PASSENGER AND CAR SEATS TO MOVE FOWARD.*AK
