2000 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I OWN THE 2000 DODGE 1500 QUAD CAB PICKUP. THE FRONT BALL JOINTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WANTS TO KNOW WHY HIS DODGE TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *BF *NM *SC THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HAD 43000 ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. *TC *JB

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE IT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 40 MPH. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. PASSENGER SUSTAINED A BROKEN KNEE, AND THE DRIVER WAS CUT BY THE SEAT BELT.*AK

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION TWICE, MAKING A TOTAL OF 3 TRANSMISSIONS ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 75000 MILES! THE 2ND WAS 200 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. DAIMLER/CHRYSLER RESPONSE... TOO BAD. ALSO THE DASH HAS CRACKED , AND THE REAR WINDOW LEAKS. GEORGIA LEMON LAW IS WORTHLESS!!*AK

MY DASH BOAR DHAS CRACKED AND IS FALLING IN.I'M SCARED IT MIGHT CATCH FIRE WITH ALL THE WIRES IN THE DASH. Y BACK WINDOW LEAKED EVERY TIME IT RAINED SO I HAD TO REPLACE IT WITH A AFTER MARKET ONE FOR $325.00.*AK MY TRUCK SOME TIMES MAKES A WHINNY NOISE IN REVERSE AND I WAS TOLD THAT IS HOW DODGES ARE. KNOW SOME TIMES WHEN I STOP AND GO TO TAKE OFF THE TRANSMISSION WON'T CATCH AND I LOOK AT THE RPMS AND IT'S SHOWING NO RPMS BUT THE TRUCK IS RUNNING.I HAD THE TRUCK PUT ON THE MACHINE AND NOTHING CAME UP BEING WRONG.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 IS CRUMBLING. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE DODGE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE IT UNLESS I PAID FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED IT WAS COSMETIC ONLY. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONSUMER COLLIDED WITH A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIS. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO SUSTAIN MINOR INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE. THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. *JB *SC

DEALER DID NOT HONOR RECALL ON CLOCK SPRING IF VEHICLE HAS MORE THAN 70,000 MILES. *BF RECALL NUMBER: 04V480000 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MAY BECOME DISABLED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE HUB OF THE STEERING WHEEL. *TC

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE DEVICE THAT CONTROLS THE LIGHTS WAS REPLACED; ALL THE FUSES WERE CHECKED, NONE WERE BLOWN, BUT THE LIGHTS WERE STILL NOT FUNCTIONING. THIS FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED REAR END ACCIDENTS.*AK

I HAVE 2000 DODGE RAM PICKUP THAT HAS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND 37,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT BECAME HARD TO KEEP IT FROM WANDERING. I USED THE INTERNET TO FIND WAYS OF CHECKING THE FRONT END COMPONENTS AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. USING THE INFORMATION THAT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE BALL JOINTS, TRAC BAR, AND STEERING STABILIZER ARE ALL DEFECTIVE. LIKEWISE, THE TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS IN REVERSE GEAR. I HAVE COLLECTED INFORMATION THAT SHOWS ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS GOING BACK MANY YEARS. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE MAKING FAULTY PRODUCTS KNOWING THAT THEY ARE JEOPARDIZING THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE? I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS TRUCK FIXED AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IS DODGE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRS SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS? *JB

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER CONSUMER NOTICED THAT WATER WAS COMING THROUGH THE REAR WINDOW. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE REAR WINDOWS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK
