1998 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

CLUTCH WHEN DEPRESS DOES NOT DISENGAGE. IT IS TO MY BELIEVE IT IS AN ENGINEERING FLAW IN THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER. IT HAPPENS MORE FEQUENT WHEN VECHILE IS WARM THAN COLD. I HAVE HAD TWO CLUTCHES REPLACED, 4 TRANSMISSIONS AND 6 SLAVE CYLINDERS REPLACED AND IT IS NOW IN THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN WITH 93,000 MILES. *AK

CONSUMER SMELLED GAS. TOOK VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, AND MECHANIC STATED THAT FUEL WAS SPRAYING OVER ENGINE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. *AK

VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION DUE TO A DEFECTIVE HORN. CONSUMER REPORTED THE DEFECT TO THE MANUFACTURER. *AK

1998 DODGE TRUCK ATE THE INJECTOR PUMP WHEN THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THIS CAN CAUSE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, BRAKES AND STEERING IF IT HAPPENS AT HIGH SPEEDS OR WHEN CARRYING LARGE LOADS AS I DO WHEN ON THE JOB. *LA

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE TREAD SEPARATED. 40 PERCENT OF THE TREAD WAS LEFT. *AK *NLM

VEHICLE WAS PARKED. CONSUMER SAW FRONT TIRES POINTING DIFFERENT WAYS. THE FRONT TIE ROD SNAPPED. CAUSING VEHICLE TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. *AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE PULLLED TO THE RIGHT, AND THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM EIGHT TIMES, BUT COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH VEHICLE SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON, FORCING CONSUMER TO PULL OUT OF THE ROAD. DEALER STATED VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WITHOUT GAS DUE A FAULTY MEASURE GAUGE SENDING UNIT. *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT TWO FRONT BRAKE LINES ARE RUBBING. CONSUMER IS CONCERNED THAT WHILE MAKING A SHARP TURN THE LINE MAY PUNCTURE, AND CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKES. *AK

I HAVE TONS OF PROBLEMS WITH MY 1998 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL PICK UP TRUCK.THE BRAKES CHRONICALLY FAIL TO WORK, THEN LOCK UP OR CATCH ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT. HAD A BAD SENSOR ACCORDING TO DODGE, AND IT WAS REPLACED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO.*AK I NEARLY RAN INTO AN 18 WHEELER WHEN THE TRUCK FAILED TO STOP AT 4 WAY CROSSING. I HAD IT WORKED ON THEN AND WAS TOLD THAT A SEAL WAS LEAKING FLUID AND IT WET THE BRAKE PADS AND CAUSED THEM TO TO "SLIP". I AM HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN THIS WEEK AND WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC TO SEE IF THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAD BEEN RECALLED. HE THINKS THE POWER SURGE HAS IS FAULTY AND FAILS AT TIMES AND NOT OTHERS! ALSO MY PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T PREVENT VEHICLE FROM MOVING WHEN IN USE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE!
