Jan 09, 2004
A BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO A RUPTURE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE HOSE CONNECTED TO THE CALIPER. THIS FAILURE LED ME TO NARROWLY ESCAPE AN ACCIDENT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE FAILURE APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY THE BRAKE LINE BEING TOO SHORT CAUSING EXCESSIVE FLEXING DURING TURNING AT THE CRIMP CONNECTOR ON THE CALIPER END OF THE BRAKE LINE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 DODGE RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THE REVERSE POSITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO REVERSE. THE CONTACT SHIFTED BACK TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO REVERSE, AND THE VEHICLE REVERSED. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIFT WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED. THE FAILURES RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 97V084000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSION COOLER AND LINES. TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND FLUID LEAKED OUT AND CAUGHT FIRE ON HIGHWAY. THE SELLING DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WERE NO KNOWN DEFECTS WITH TRANS OR COOLER. REPLACED TRANSMISSION AT A GARAGE. THAT TRANS MELTED DOWN AFTER FIFTY MILES. BOUGHT SECOND TRANS IN THE NEXT TOWN. IT MELTED DOWN AFTER 150 MILES. THIRD REANSMISSION SHOP WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE COOLER ASSEMBLY AND THE THIRD TRANSMISSION OPERATED WITHOUT PROBLEM. DODGE NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL, RESULTING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF LOSS. I ONLY DISCOVERED THE RECALL WHEN A CANADIAN DEALERSHIP ASKED IF I HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THESE DISHONEST DODGE DEALERS. *NM

MY 1995 DODGE RAM 1500 BURNT UP-TOTALED-2 YEARS AGO. DEALER DID NOT, WOULD NOT, DO THE RECALL IN 3 YEARS OF ACCESS. NOT FINDING ANY REFERENCE FROM CHRYSLER OR YOU, I SUGGEST HAVING TALKED TO A MECHANIC 2 DAYS AGO, THERE ARE STILL MANY TRUCKS BURNING UP, WITH OR WITHOUT THE RECALL, THEREFORE THERE NEEDS A NEW CAMPAIGN, BUT ALSO CHECK INTO THE TOXICITY OF THE SITUATION. IT IS MELTING AND BURNING PVC'S AND OTHER PLASTICS, VERY TOXIC AND CANCER CAUSING. I AM FIGHTING TERMINAL CANCER ALSO, PROVEN TO BE LINKED TO THE DIOXINS, HEAVY METALS,AND VINYL CHLORIDES FOUND IN MELTING AND INCINERATING PVC'S. WHILE IT MIGHT NOT BE CONSIDERED YOUR FUNCTION, THE PROPER AGENCY NEEDS TO BE INFORMED SINCE THESE ARE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES WHEN INCINERATED OR BURNED, AND PER THE TOXIC SUBSTANCE CONTROL ACT AND THE SARA LAWS AND THE 'PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO KNOW', CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE INFORMED OF THE DANGERS AND RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MELTING AND INCINERATING OF THE PVC'S AND OTHER PLASTICS WHEN USING THE BLOWER ON HIGH, AND/OR THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN OR THE WIRING IN THE DASH IS OVERHEATING GROSSLY. *NM

A FAULTY STEERING BOX CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO WANDER ALL OVER THE ROAD. *NLM
Mar 18, 2003
I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY AND WANDER, WHICH CAUSES A NEED FOR CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS TO AVOID WANDERING INTO OTHER TRAFFIC LANES WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM WORSENS WHEN EITHER PASSING OR BEING PASSED BY LARGE TRUCKS, BUSES, OR RV'S AND CAUSES A TENDENCY TO WANDER OR DRIFT TOWARDS THE LANE OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. THESE SITUATIONS ARE FURTHER WORSENED AND CAUSE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS WHEN TOWING A TRAILER. THIS CAN CAUSE UNSAFE SITUATIONS OF STEERING OVER- CORRECTION DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE PLAY AND WANDER IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY AND STEERING WANDER CAUSES DRIVER FATIGUE DUE TO THE CONSTANT NEED FOR STEERING CORRECTION WHEN DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME AND CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS LIKE MENTIONED EARLIER WHEN BEING PASSED BY LARGE TRUCKS OR RV'S. THE STEERING GEAR AND TRACK BAR WHERE FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED UNDER THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURE WARRANTY @ 32,040 MILES. WITHIN 10,000 MILES THE BEFORE MENTIONED EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY AND WANDER RETURNED. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN AMOUNG 1994-CURRENT DODGE 2500/3500 RAM PICKUPS WITH THE CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE OPTION. CHRYSLER/DODGE ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE IS A TSB OUT TO SPECIFICALLY TROUBLESHOOT CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OF "EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY AND WANDER". CHRYSLER/DODGE HAS REVISED THE STEERING GEAR SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE HIGH INCIDENCE OF FAILURES LEADING TO EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY AND WONDER. CHRYSLER HAS YET TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY FATAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. *AK

WHEN I STARTED DRIVING THE TRUCK THE DASH WAS JUST CRACKED UP THEN I HAD TO CHANGE THE HEATER CORE AND WHILE PUTTING THE DASH BACK IN IT BROKE ALL UP AND NOW THERE ARE SHARP EDGES ALL ACROSS THE TOP AT THIS TIME THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AND THE YARD BUT NOW HOW IT IS WHILE DRIVING I HAVE TO HOLD THE RADIO AND THE GAUGES BACK

DASH BOARD CRUMBLES, WE HAVE LOOKED TO FIND ANOTHER DASH BOARD AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A PROBLEM, ALMOST A JOKE, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A DODGE DASH BOARD.. THEY ALL DO THIS. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE TRUCK WERE INVOLVED IN A MVC THEN THE PIECES OF THE DASH WOULD BECOME FLYING OBJECTS.. AND INJURY ANY ONE SITTING IN THE TRUCK. WE HAVE OWNED SEVERAL DODGE CARAVANS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS OR SEEM SUCH AN ACROSS THE BOARD PROBLEM WITH SO MANY VECHLIES. DODGE NEEDS TO OFFER A REPLACEMENT A FIX.. BEFORE THE WORST HAPPENS.

AT THIS TIME THE VEHICE I PASSED NEARLY REAR ENDED ME. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND WAS ABLE TO FREE THE CABLE MECHANISM BACK TO IDLE POSITION.

DASH IS CRACKING EVERYWHERE. ALSO THE VIN PLATE HAS ALSO FALLEN AND CANNOT BE READ BY POLICE AND OR STATE PATROL. THIS IS NOW AN ISSUE BECAUSE OF THAT AND THE SHARP PIECES THAT KEEP FALLING OFF.
May 31, 2018
THE DASH AND LOWER DASH BEZEL IN MY TRUCK ARE CRUMBLING MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY. PIECES FALL OF IF YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE CUP HOLDERS ARE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL BECAUSE OF THIS AND IF IT CONTINUES LIKE IT IS THE GAUGE CLUSTER WILL NO LONGER BE HELD IN PLACE. ONTOP OF ALL THIS IF THE VEHICLE WERE INVOLVED IN A WRECK WHERE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED THE PASSENGER WOULD GET A FACE FULL OF PLASTIC SHARDS FROM THE DASH ( WHAT LITTLE IS LEFT OF IT) RESULTING IN INJURY AND POSSIBLE BLINDNESS.DODGE HAS PLENTY OF RESOURCES AND MONEY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. YES THE VEHICLE IS 20 YEARS OLD AND OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF VEHICLES MUCH OLDER WITH SOLID DASHES STILL IN ONE PIECE. DODGE CLAIMS THIS IS JUST COSMETIC BUT AS BROKEN AS MINE ITS BECOME MORE THAN THAT. IM SURE THEY WOULD RATHER PAY TO HAVE SOME DASHES REPLACED WITH BETTER MATERIALS THAN A LAWSUIT WHEN SOMEONE IS INJURED BY THE DEFECTIVE PLASTIC.

1995 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK, VIN [XXX]. WHEN DROPPING THE TILT WHEEL TO IT'S LOWEST POSITION THE RADIO/TAPE PLAYER WOULD SHUT OFF AND THEN RESTART AS IF THE POWER WAS CUT OFF. *AK POWER FOR THE RADIO CAME FROM BATTERY POSITIVE, FUSE # 3 (40 AMPS) TO THE IGNITION SWITCH CONNECTOR C212 POSITION 1 WIRE (A1 12 RED) WHERE IT IS SWITCHED IN RUN AND ACCESSORY TO FUSE #7 (10 AMPS) TO THE RADIO AND OTHER FUSES TO OTHER SYSTEMS. RECALL # 875 PERFORMED ON 8/8/2000 INVOLVED THE BLOWER MOTOR, A RELAY WAS ADDED FOR POWER SWITCHING USING THE RELAY CONTROLLED BY THE IGNITION SWITCH RATHER THAN FEEDING THE POWER THROUGH THE IGNITION SWITCH. I OBSERVED THE MOTION OF ALL THE WIRES GOING TO ALL THE SWITCHES ON THE STEERING WHEEL AS IT WAS MOVED. CLEARLY OBSERVABLE WAS THE CONNECTOR C212 POSITION 1 WIRE (A1 12 RED) MOVING OUT OF THE CONNECTOR ACCOMPANIED BY THE RADIO MOMENTARILY LOSING POWER. OBSERVATION SHOWED THE STRIPPED WIRE BEING HELD ONLY BY THE INSULATION CRIMP PART OF THE METAL CONNECTOR, THE WIRE DID NOT FRAY AWAY FROM THE CONNECTOR BECAUSE IT WAS CLEAN CUT AND THE ORIGINAL SMALLER GAUGE WIRE WAS STILL IN THE CRIMP PART OF THE CONNECTOR. NOTE I HAVE PICTURES OF THE PROBLEM. I REMOVED THE SMALLER CRIMPED WIRES, SPREAD THE CRIMP WINGS AND SOLDERED THE RED WIRE TO THE METAL CONNECTOR. MOST LIKELY THE DAMAGE WAS DONE AS PART OF RECALL #875, AS THE WIRING DIAGRAM INDICATES A 12-GAUGE WIRE AND THE WIRE I RECONNECTED WAS AT A MINIMUM OF AN 8 OR A 6 GAUGE. THANK GOD THIS DID NOT FEED A CRITICAL SYSTEM LIKE THE ANTILOCK BREAKS OR CAUSE OVERHEATING AND OR A FIRE.
