1995 DODGE RAM 1500 2X4 COMPLAINT: CRACKED DASH,CRACKED FROM DEFROST VENTS TO BEHIND THE CUP HOLDERS DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING: MATERIAL/MOLD 10-8-00. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS WAS THE FOURTH HEADLIGHT SWITCH THAT HAS BE PLACED IN THE VEHICLE. THE SWITCHES USUALLY LASTS FOR 3-4 WEEKS BEFORE FAILING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN ALERTED AND DETERMINED THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE.

NOTICED CRACK IN THE DASH OF VEHICLE. *NM

I OWN A 1995 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. I AM IN THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS AND I USE MY TRUCK ON A DAILY BASIS TO WORK. I WAS WRITING TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAD A LOWER A-ARM WELD BREAK FROM THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. LUCKILY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE WELD BROKE AND NOT ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS WELD HOLDS THE BOTTOM OF THE WHOLE LEFT WHEEL ASSEMBLY IN PLACE . THIS IS A WELD THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE FAIL. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER NO HELP AND SAID THAT YOU DO NOT SERVICE THIS THERE IS NO PART NO FOR THIS PART AND IS MY PROBLEM. *JB

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

HELLO, I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY 1995 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP. THE DASH IS CRACKED FROM OVER THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE WINDSHIELD. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, THAT SOMETHING FROM THAT CRACK MY NOT LET MY AIRBAG DEPLOY. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND WRECK HIS DODGE WITH A CRACK IN THE DASH AND THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AT A 85 MPH. CRASH. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS WHO WOULD DRIVE MY TRUCK. *JB

THE GAS TANK FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. THE GAS LINE BROKE, SPILLING FUEL, AND THE METAL SHIELD WAS SCRAPING ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO FIRE.*AK

I HAVE A 1995 DODGE RAM TWO YEARS AGO THE DASH STARTED CRACKING. IT IS BAD NOW ALL THE WAY FROM ONE SIDE TO OTHER. I HAVE SPOKE WITH A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. *NM

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

SAFETY LATCH BROKE ON MY !995 DODGE RAM. THE HOOD FLEW UP AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND BROKE THE GLASS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS SAFETY LATCH BROKE ON MY TRUCK. *JB

MY DODGE DEALERSHIP IGNORED A LIFE THREATENING ' SAFETY' RECALL ON MY 1995 RAM 1500, AND IT BURNT UP AND I BELIEVE THE 8+ YEARS OF BREATHING TOXIC HYDROCARBONS HAS CAUSED ME A VERY SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITION. THE FIRE TOTALED THE VEHICLE. *NM

ON 3/09/05 WE BOUGHT A 1995 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP FROM LEE DODGE IN FARMINGDALE, NY. ON 7/01/05 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HAVE SMOKE COME OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND THEN PROCEEDED TO IGNITE INTO FLAMES. THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN MINUTES AND THIS TRUCK WAS TOTALLED. AFTER THIS INCIDENT WE FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN THE YEAR 2000 FOR IGNITION WIRES THAT WERE OVERHEATING! THE DODGE MANUFACTURER INFORMED US THAT THE RECALLS WERE NEVER DONE AND IT WAS VERY POSSIBLE THAT THIS PROBLEM CAUSED THE FIRE AND IS SENDING AN INSPECTOR ON 7/10/05 TO DETERMINE THIS FACT. ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER LEE DODGE WAS RESPONSIBLE TO HAVE DONE ALL THE RECALLS BEFORE THEY SOLD THE VEHICLE. LEE DODGE HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE TO DATE. THIS TRUCK IS A TOTAL LOSS AND OUR NEIGHBOR'S TREE WENT UP IN FLAMES AS WELL. IT COULD HAVE BEEN OUR HOMES AS WELL AS FAMILY MEMBERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED AND LEE DODGE NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IGNORING THESE RECALLS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED OR DIES. WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHER TRUCKS/CARS THEY SELL WITH SAFETY ISSUES!

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC MY 1995 DODGE RAM1500 PICK UP WENT FROM FIRM STEADY BRAKING,TO PEDAL ON THE FLOOR NO BRAKES.AFTER SEARCHING FOR THE PROBLEM I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE BRAKELINE BETWEEN THE FRAMERAIL AND THE FUELTANK RUPTURED SPRAYING BRAKEFLUID AT HIGH VOLUME. ALSO I HAVE NOTICED HEAVY RUST ON THE LINES (NOT STAINLESS STEEL AS I THOUGHT). AS OF THIS DOCUMENT I HAVE NOT BEGAN REPAIRS.

RECALL 97V084000 WAS ISSUED, HOWEVER RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE DIESEL ENGINES. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHIFTING HARD AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CONNECTOR BROKE ON THE COOLER LINE. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED ONTO THE EXHAUST. *AK *SC *JB

1995 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH 55,000 ACTUAL MILES. STREET WHILE DRIVING THE BALL JOINTS WORE OUT. *AK

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 CRIT

THE HOSES IN THE TRANSMISSION ARE BLOWING OFF, CAUSING FLUID TO SPILL. THIS RESULTS IN TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND VEHICLE OVERHEATING. CONSUMER WILL TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS FOR THE SECOND TIME DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.*AK

HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AT NIGHT. CONSUMER INDICATED THAT NHTSA WEBSITE SHOWED RECALL 99V024000 CONCERNING HEADLIGHT SWITCH FOR DODGE RAM 3500, 1995 TRUCK HAD DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS VEHICLE. WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. *AK

I HAVE HAD THREE CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC AS P245/75R16 TIRES FAIL DUE TO TREAD SEPARATION IN THE LAST 4 YEARS. THIS LATEST INCIDENT RESULTED IN $2,000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I WAS MAILED A RECALL NOTICE SEVRAL YEARS AGO FOR THESE TIRES BUT WAS TOLD MY TIRES WERE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE LATEST FAILURE WAS ON A TIRE WITH DOT NUMBER AD70 449 447. I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND THAT CONTINENTAL TIRES SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO I WOULD SUGGEST YOU ALL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER THOROUGHLY, AS I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY TREAD SEPARATION PROBLEMS WITH ANY OTHER TIRES ON EITHER THIS VEHICLE OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE IN MY LIFE. THREE SEPARATIONS ON THE EXACT SAME TIRES IN A MATTER OF A FEW YEARS IS INEXCUSABLE. PLEASE REPLY AS I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE.*AK

CRACKS APPEARED ON SIDEWALLS OF TWO OF A FOUR TIRE SET RANGING FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES IN LENGTH ABOUT 1 INCH FROM RIM. TIRES WERE REPLACED USING THE PRORATED TIRE TREAD WARRANTY. DEFECT MANUFACTURED INTO TIRE THEREFORE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTIRE REPLACEMNET COST.*AK

MY BRAKE LINES BLEW OUT IN MY 1995 4WD 1500 RAM PICKUP TRUCK, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.*AK

THE PROCEDURE THAT DEALERSHIP PERFORMED FOR RECALL 00V135000 CONCERNING IGNITION SWITCH IS CAUSING OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS TO FAIL. *AK THERE WERE TWO POWER FAILURES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAD GONE OUT ALONG WITH THE CLOCK AND RADIO. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE WIRES THAT HAD COME FROM THE BACK OF THE FUSE PANEL HAD BEEN CUT VERY SHORT AND SPLICED INTO THE WIRING HARNESS THAT THE DEALER REPLACED. *SCC *JB

STEERING WHEEL MOVES IN AND OUT A LOT. IT IS A 1995 DODGE RAM PU. THERE WAS RECALL WORK DONE TO THE STEERING IN 1997. TOOK TO DODGE DEALER SAID THEY WILL NOT REPAIR. UNLESS I PAY FOR THE WORK. CALLED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THE SAME THING.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO MY 1995 DODGE RAM 1500. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CUP HOLDERS. IT HAS CUTOUTS ON THE SIDES THAT ALLOWS THE CUP TO TIP ONTO THE DRIVER DURING A VERY SLOW TURN. I RECENTLY WAS BURNED BY A CUP OF COFFEE AND ENDED UP OFF THE ROAD IN A DITCH. THE CUP TIPPED OVER IN A SMOOTH TURN AT LESS THAN 20MPH. ALSO THE POOR LOCATION OF THE HOLDER, WHICH SITS HIGH ON THE DASH, CAUSES VISUAL IMPARMENT TO THE DRIVER. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND COULD CAUSE A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT.*AK

THE VEHICLE HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL. *AK THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE GAS TANK WHERE THE GAS TANK ENTERED. THERE WAS A RUBBER SEAL WHERE THE METAL PIPE WENT INTO THE TANK. THE RUBBER DISSOLVED FROM THE GAS TANK AND CAUSED GAS TO LEAK OUT. *SCC *JB

THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN OUT OF GAS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WARMED UP, IT SHUT OFF. THE CONSUMER FELT THE FUEL PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE. *NLM THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. A GRINDING NOISE HAD COME FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. THE PINION GEAR HAD GONE BAD. THE ENTIRE REAR END WAS REPLACED AND THE 20K MILES LATER WAS REPLACED AGAIN. (THE SAME PROBLEM) *SCC *JB

I STOPPED MY 1995 DODGE RAM PICKUP, PUT IT IN PARK, AND GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO TALK TO A MAN TO GET DIRECTIONS TO A PHARMACY NEARBY. I TALKED TO THE MAN FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS BEGINNING TO ROLL. IN MY ATTEMPT TO STOP THE TRUCK THAT WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS TOWARD A BUSY STREET, I FELL AND THE FRONT TIRE ON THE PICKUP RAN OVER BOTH OF MY LEGS. THE TRUCK HAD SLIPPED FROM PARK INTO REVERSE. THIS RESULTED IN A BROKEN FIBULA IN MY LEFT LEG WITH DEEP CUTS ON MY LEFT ANKLE. THE RIGHT LEG WAS SEVERELY CUT ALL THE WAY TO THE BONE AND REQUIRED 32 STITCHES AND MY RIGHT ANKLE WAS ALSO DEEPLY CUT. AFTER RUNNING ME OVER THE PICKUP THEN HIT A CAR. I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR A TOTAL OF 19 DAYS. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH BOTH OF MY LEGS. MY TRUCK THEN RAN INTO A CAR. *NLM

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF CAUSING CONSUMER TO PULL OVER. DEALER NOTIFIED. *MR THE DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ON ONE OCCASION IT HAD TAKEN THREE HOURS TO DRIVE FIVE MILES. THE CONSUMER WAS GIVEN AN EXPERT OPINION AND WAS TOLD IT WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH WAS REPLACED BUT LATER CUT OFF FOUR MORE TIMES. THE SECOND EXPERT OPINION WAS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT IT WAS IN WORKING ORDER. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON AND READ FAULTY CRANK POSITIONING SENSOR WHICH WAS ALSO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE CUT OFF AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH, IN FACT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF. ANOTHER EXPERT STATED THAT HE WAS SURE THE FUEL PUMP WAS THE PROBLEM WHICH WAS REPLACED. EACH INCIDENT HAPPENED THE SAME WAY; 1/4 TO 1/2 TANK OF GAS. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A TRADE, RECALL, AND OR A PROPER FIX. *SCC 10/17/03 - CONSUMER STATES THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR EIGHT MONTHS AND STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A REMEDY.

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

WHEN I BOUGHT MY TRUCK IT WAS JUST THREE YEARS OLD AND 50% OF THE PAINT WAS PEELING OFF IT. IT'S SILVER AND SINCE THEN I'VE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME COLOR, HAVEING THIS PROBLEM: FORD AND CHEVY HAD A PAINT RECALL; WHY WON'T DODGE? NOW THE TRUCK IS 80% PEELING, PERSONALLY I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE OF BAD PRIMER. I HAVE TALKED TO FOUR DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA, THEY ALL TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT COLOR. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURE WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK AND COMPENSATE THE OWNERS.

CLEAR COAT AND PAINT COMING OFF ON ROOF AND HOOD. THIS IS NOT SAFTY(A DEFECT)DT

WHILE TOWING A TRAILER MY TRUCK LOST COMPLETE POWER, ENGINE DID NOT DIE. I PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IN JUST A MINUTE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY SIX TIMES NOW. TACOMA DEALERSHIP SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I KNOW OF ONE OTHER PERSON WITH SAME PROBLEM. DT
