2002 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I AM BEING IGNORED ON A SEAT BELT RECALL NEARLY ALL 4.7 ENGINES HAVE OIL PAN FAILURE

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM PICKING UP MY PAYCHECK DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE FAST LANE DOING AROUND 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING AND THEN RESTARTED. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND TOOK BACK ROADS. ABOUT 1.5 MILES FROM MY HOME AT A RED LIGHT THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, NO ENGINE, NO ELECTRIC, NOTHING, IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD ON A FAIRLY BUSY ROAD. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED HOME AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AT ALL. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT MIGHT BE THE CAUSE AND HAVE FOUND MANY RELATED CASES TO WHAT I AM DEALING WITH.

MY FRIEND WAS OUTSIDE THE 2002 DODGE RAM. IT WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK. HE LEANED IN THE DOOR TO CHECK THE MILEAGE ON THE OIL CHANGE STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD. SUDDENLY, IN PARK, THE TRUCK BEGAN ROLLING DOWN A VERY SLIGHT GRADE. IT DRUG MY FRIEND WHO WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE TRUCK. IT ROLLED ABOUT 25 YARDS UNTIL IT HIT A PARKED CAR. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK! HE WAS BRUISED AND BANGED UP, AND WAS SORE FOR A FEW DAYS.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM IS LITERALLY DISINTEGRATING BEFORE MY EYES. IT HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS ALL OVER IT. THE VENT COVER UNDER THE WINDSHIELD HAS ALSO BROKEN, AND THE SMALL PIECES THAT COVER THE DEFROSTER HOLES HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN DOWN INTO THE DEFROSTER SO THAT WHEN IT IS TURNED ON HIGH SMALL PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL FLY UP AND HIT YOU IN THE FACE. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT ON SAFETY GLASSES IF YOU ARE GOING TO RUN THE DEFROSTER SO THAT YOU DON'T RISK HAVING PLASTIC PIECES STRIKE YOU IN THE EYES. SEVERAL OF THE DASHBOARD CRACKS RUN COMPLETELY FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR OF THE UPPER DASHBOARD. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO DODGE, AND I AM BAFFLED THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE OF FAILING DASHBOARDS IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED. THIS HAS TO BE CORRECTED AND I FEEL DODGE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND BE MADE TO FIX THIS DEFECT!

DASHBOARD CRACKED, LAMP LIGHT IS ON AND ALARM KEEPS DINGING. CHECKED ALL LIGHTS AND THEY ARE ALL WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE RAMS 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER WHEELS. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10E040000 (WHEELS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 253,000.
