2003 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

WHEN I TURN SIGNAL TO LEFT MAKES RIGHT SIGNAL COMES ON, WHEN YOU TURN RIGHT SIGNAL ON MAKES LEFT SIGNAL COMES ON. THE LAMP OUT LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND GOING OFF WHEN YOU TURN THE LEFT SIGNAL ON THEN OFF AGAIN. I CHECKED NONE OF THE LAMPS ARE OUT. HAS BEEN TOOK TO DEALER TWICE AND HAD THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE STEERING COLUMN FIXED, IT QUIT FOR A WHILE AND THEN STARTS THE SAME THING AGAIN.THE DEALER CLAIMS USING THE TILT ON THE STEERING WHEEL IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS IN THE TURN SIGNAL ARM BECAUSE IT AFFECTS THE SIGNALS AND THE WIPERS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER DODGE OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT BECAUSE IT COULD TURN INTO A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ON A ROAD TRIP I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND I HIT A SMALL LIGHT DECAL THAT DELINEATES THE LINES ON THE ROAD AND MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND SO SEVERELY THAT I NEARLY LOST CONTROL. BRAKING DID NOT STOP THE SHAKING, NOT ACCELERATING UNTIL IT SLOWED TO ABOUT 35 MPH DID STOP THE SHAKING. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE I WAS TERRIFIED THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE I DECIDED THAT I WOULD DRIVE AGAIN BUT AT A SLOWER PACE. THIS TIME I DROVE AT 55 MPH AND WHEN IT HIT A TINY BUMP AGAIN IT BEGAN TO SHAKE HORRIBLY AGAIN. AND ONCE AGAIN I WAS STRESSED BEYOND BELIEF THAT I WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THIS TRUCK. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEEDS AND IF THERE IS ANY RUFFNESS ON THE ROAD. PLEASE RECALL THESE TRUCKS AND FIX THEM. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR A TRUCK THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE GOOD QUALITY AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A PIECE OF JUNK THAT I CANNOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 35 MPH FOR FEAR THAT I WILL KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. AND I REFUSE TO SELL THIS LEMON TO SOME OTHER POOR SOUL. *TR

TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON INTERSTATE, HIT SLIGHT BUMP WHEN CROSSING BRIDGE AND THE FRONT END STARTED VIBRATING SO MUCH COULDN'T HARDLY HOLD IT IN THE ROAD. THE SAME HAS OCCURRED 5-6 MORE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY WIFE HAS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING.... *TR

THE DASH HAS CRACKED INTO MULTIPLE RAZOR SHARP SPINTERED SECTIONS. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONTAL CRASH, WITH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, ITS POSSIBLE THESE SPINTERED SECTIONS WILL CAUSE SEVERE FACIAL AND BODILY TRAUMA TO ANY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

I PURCHASED THE TRUCK WITH 124,000 MILES AND NOTICED THE DASH WAS CRACKED ON MY DRIVE FROM TENNESSEE BACK TO FLORIDA. IT MAKES NOISE, LOOKS LIKE CRAP, AND KEEPS ME FROM SETTING ANYTHING ON THE DASH BOARD. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERYYYYYYYYYYYYY COMMON ON DODGES, IF NOT A RIGHT OF PASSAGE. THEY NEED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES AND STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF DODGE OWNERS. DODGE, YOU WERE CHEAP ON THE MANUFACTURING, NOW YOU NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT. *TT

WE WERE DRIVING TO THE STORE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND CAUSED US TO GO INTO THE OTHER LANE. I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP, GOT OUT LOOKED FOR SOME BROKEN PART.... DID NOT SEE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WE THEN PROCEEDED SLOWLY BACK HOME AND THE VEHICLE JUST HAD A CONTINUOUS VIBRATION, BUT DID NOT SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I THEN LOOKED IT UP ON THE COMPUTER AND FOUND OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO AVOID EXCESS COST BUT BE SAFE. *TR

WHILE COMING HOME FROM WORK, I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE WITH ONE FRONT WHEEL, & THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY BACK & FORTH. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN. I STOPPED & LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS VISIBLY BROKEN & DID NOT SEE ANYTHING. I SLOWLY SPED UP AGAIN. AFTER HITTING ANOTHER BUMP, THE SHAKING STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN & WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED. I AM AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH OUR CHILDREN, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN. *TR
