VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES. AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILED DUE TO A FAULTY EVAPORATOR. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST $1100.00. SEVERAL DEALERSHIP MECHANICS ADVISED OWNER THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH DODGE VEHICLES AND THAT THE EVAPORATOR MANUFACTURER HAS ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. WHAT ABOUT ALL OF US THAT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DEFECT? WHY DID'NT DODGE RECALL THIS IF IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM?*AK

REPEATED CORROSION FAILURE OF TRUCK TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES MOST RECENTLY IN JULY 2004, PREVIOUSLY IN DECEMBER OF 2001. PARTS REPLACED AT MY COST

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED FROM THE WINDSHIELD TOWARDS THE DRIVER. A SEPARATE CRACK ALSO EXTENDED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE WINDSHIELD TOWARDS THE PASSENGER . THE CRACKS DID NOT MEET THEY WERE SEPARATE. CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WILL EVENTUALLY SEPARATE. *AK *NM

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATES THE OIL INTAKE WAS CLOGGED, WHICH CAUSED LOW OIL PRESSURE IN THE ENGINE. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB *TC

ENGINE QUIT WORKING DUE TO LACK OF FUEL. WHEN THIS OCCURRED VEHICLE STALLED. THIS CAUSED LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED DUE TO FUEL PUMP FAILURE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED FUEL PUMP 3 TIMES. *AK

THE VEHICLE STALL WHILE DRIVING 55-60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS A FAILED FUEL TRANSFER PUMP. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH BRAKE PEDAL PROCEEDED TO THE FLOOR. AS A RESULT, REAR BRAKE LINE BROKE. NO IMPACT REPORTED. *AK

THERE IS NO REASON WHY I SHOULD BE HAVING A PROBLEM(E.G. ACCIDENT OR ABUSE). MY RIGHT REAR WHEEL IS GETTING A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF OIL OR GREASE ON THE BRAKES, NOT ENOUGH TO RUN DOWN THE TIRE BUT ENOUGH TO GET TACKY ON THE BRAKES. AS A RUSULT, THE BRAKES GRAB REAL HARD TO THE POINT THAT WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL LOCKS UP. ONCE STOPPED AND RELEASE THE BRAKES THEY STICK THEN RELEASE WITH A HARD THUD. VERY ANNOYING NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN SNOW.I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER SO I GUESS I'M ON MY OWN. *AK

NO CRASH INVOLVED...YET. VEHICLE DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT ALL THE TIME & SUDDENLY PULLS HARD RIGHT AT RANDOM TIMES. ANTILOCK BRAKES HAVE NEVER WORKED. HAVE CONTACTED 3 DEALERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM & NOT ONE WILL ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM, YET I CAN FIND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN INTERNET CHAT ROOMS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK
