I HAD THE DODGE E17 RECALL DONE TO MY 2003 DODGE RAM 2500 SLT. THE RECALL SAID IT WOULD BE AN OUT-OF-PARK ALARM. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A BUZZING OR DINGING ALERT. INSTEAD IT HONKS MY HORN. NOW I CAN'T BACK UP TO MY TRAILER WITH MY DOOR OPEN WITHOUT WAKING MY NEIGHBORS. I'M DISGUSTED THAT NHSTA APPROVED THIS "IMPROVEMENT" AND INSIST THAT A BUZZING OR DINGING ALARM BE USED INSTEAD. *JB

HELLO, I OWN A 2003 RAM AND MY DASHBOARD IS ALSO FALLING APART. I SAW PICTURES OF OTHER DODGE TRUCKS BROKEN DASHBOARDS AND MY DASHBOARD LOOKS A LOT WORST THAN MOST OF THEM. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY TRUCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IF IT ONLY HAD 1 CRACK I WOULD NOT BE AS UPSET BUT MY DASHBOARD HAS 8 CRACKS ON IT AND ITS LOOKING TERRIBLE. I BELIEVE I MIGHT START HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRIC UNDER THE DASHBOARD IF I DON'T GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I AM STARTING TO THINK ABOUT THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE TRUCK. MY SISTER, BROTHER AND I HAVE ALL BOUGHT BRAND NEW TRUCKS FROM THE SAME DEALER AT SANFORD, FLORIDA. IF THE DEALER DOES NOT HELP ME REPLACE THE DASHBOARD, I ASSURE YOU THEY WILL LOOSE OUR FAMILY BUSINESS. THANK YOU :( *TR
