DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2002 DODGE RAM. THE CONSUMER SAYS THAT AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES HE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HIS UPPER BALL JOINT. THE UPPER BALL JOINT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COMPLETELY WENT OUT. HE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL HUNDRED IN BACK ORDER RIGHT NOW.

THE CONSUMER IS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TT

2002 DODGE RAM 1500. WHEN SWITCHING FROM DEFROST VENT TO PANEL VENT, THE PANEL VENT DID NOT WORK. VENTING WENT TO FLOOR. DAIMLER-CHRYSLER, I FIND, ISSUED REPAIR BULLETINS FOR THIS PROBLEM IN SPRING OF 2002, YET NO RECALL. MY REPAIR COSTS ARE ESTIMATED AT 800 DOLLARS.

MY SUN VISORS HAVE BROKEN NUMEROUS TIMES. BOTH SIDES (PASSENGER AND DRIVER) HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST THREE TIMES EACH. THEY LOSE THEIR SPRING TENSION AND HANG DOWN AND CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN MY WIFE AND I DRIVE, BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT STAY UP AND OUT OF THE WAY. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30K MILES ON IT, I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. 8JB

VEHICLE HAS HAD TO BE SERVICED FOR ENGINE STALLING SIX TIMES. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNDETERMINED. *AK *NM

A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT FRONT END PULLING TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP HAS SERVICED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO NO AVAIL. CURRENTLY, THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE LEFT FRONT BEARING WAS BAD, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE TIRE AND RIM SEPARATING AND FALLING OFF WHILE DRIVING.*AK

1.SPARKS FROM DASHBOARD AREA NEAR HEADLIGHT SWITCH WERE SEEN BY MY WIFE WHEN SHE BORROWED THE VEHICLE. 2.NOW THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF, WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION THE FOG LIGHTS COME ON, HEAD LIGHTS ALSO WILL NOT COMPLETELY COME ON.3. SO FAR, $49 DIANOSTIC, SWITCH NEEDED (HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED B/C THE PART HAS BEEN CHANGED THREE TIMES ALREADY)(DOESN'T THAT CONSTITUTE A RECALL?)ANYWAY IT IS GOING TO COST ME $79 FOR THE NEW SWITCH AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN SURE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE PARTS WERE REPAIRED/REPLACED THREE TIMES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK BOTH SEAT BET RETRACTORS WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL EXIST. RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK INOPERATIVE. RATTLE SOUND OVER BUMPS. RIGHT FRONT SWAY BAR LINK REPLACED. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN OSCILLATING ALMOST TAKES THE WHEEL OUT OF THIS HANDS. DEALER FOUND ICE IN WHEELS/CLEANED WHEELS. HOWEVER VIBRATION RE-OCURRED. *TT

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN T DRIVER HEARD THE ENGINE KNOCKING LOUDLY, AND NOTICED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WENT DOWN. THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FAIL.*AK

1) THERE WERE NO INCIDENTS LEADING UP TO THE VEHICLES FAILURES. 2) THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN ENGINE IS ON / THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND PUMP ARE INOPERABLE. THEY BOTH OCCURRED AT THE SAME TIME. FAMILY WAS STUCK ON RAINY HIGHWAY FOR SEVERAL HOURS. 3) DODGE SERVICE "THINKS" THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER MAY HAVE SHORTED OUT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE AND RECOMMEND REPLACE BOTH -$750 THERE IS A BACK ORDER FOR BOTH PARTS - APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY REQUESTS. PART #'S 56045433AF AND 56051036AD. *AK

THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT OPERATE, WHICH IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO INFORM OTHER DRIVERS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MAKING TURNS. OWNER WILL TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS FOR THE SECOND TIME.*AK

WHILE REVERSING OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING CONSUMER'S VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A FENCE/ANOTHER VEHICLE, AND INTO NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.*AK

THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER,WHICH IS CAUSING THE HEAD LIGHTS, BLINKERS, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT TO FUNCTION. OWNER WILL CONTACT MANUFACTURER. *NM OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INCLUDED FOG LAMPS; WINDSHIELD WIPERS; TURN SIGNALS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALL CLUSTER FUNCTIONS. DEALER REPLACED A SHORTED CLUSTER. *TT

I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE RACK AND PINION WENT OUT AND THIS TIME WAS DURING DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IN THE SNOW. THE FIRST OCCURANCE WAS AT 40,000 MILES WHEN WE HAD 6 INCHES OF SNOW AND THIS TIME WAS AT 114,000 MILES IN 8 INCHES OF SNOW. THIS VEHICLE IS HOW I MAKE A LIVING AND IS NOT USED FOR RECREATIONAL OFF ROADING. THE DAMAGE TO THE RACK AND PINION OCCURED DURING REGULAR FOUR WHEEL DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. *AK

WIRING FOR MY 2002 DODGE RAM PICKUP 1500 QUAD CAB LIGHT BULB CONTINOUSLY BURN OUT LIKE IN A SEQUENCE ALL TAIL LIGHTS. MY BROTHER IN LAW HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND HAD THE WIRING RE DONE WHILE TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTEE BECAUSE OF A SHORT. IS THERE ANY RECORD OF ANTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING? *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEED (70 MPH), AND SWITCHING LANES WHILE ON A BRIDGE, THE EXCESSIVE BOUNCING AND BAD SUSPENSION OF TRUCK MAKE ME LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK ENDED UP SPINNING AROUND, MAKING A COMPLETE 180--- ON A BRIDGE!! I ENDED UP SLAMMING INTO THE SAFETY RAIL OF THE BRIDGE. AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. LUCKILY, I WASN'T INJURED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE ACCIDENT WAS MY FAULT, BUT AFTER TALKING TO A FEW OWNERS OF THIS MODEL, I FIGURED OUT THAT MANY OF US HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK. THE QUESTION IS, WHY IS THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING FIXED?? I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER, AND THEY JUST KEEP REFERRING ME TO DEALERS FROM OTHER TOWNS. *JB

PRIOR TO TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF SERVICE FOR HEADLIGHT FAILURES, WON'T JUMP START, REPLACED BATTERY, 7 MO. LATER. AFTER SEVERAL OTHER ATTEMPTS WAS INFORMED OF NEED WIRING HARNESS DUE TO AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT OF HEADLAMP. REPLACED HEADLAMPS TO FACTORY AND 3RD DEAD BATTERY. I HAVE INVESTED $1100 SINCE THE SECOND DEAD BATTERY. DEALER SAYS BATTERY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS???? MOST OCCURANCES DURING EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. *AK

VEHICLE WAS MAKING NOISES IN FRONT END. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER,THEY SAID NOISE WAS JUST BUSHINGS WERE JUST DRY. AT 40,000 MILES TOOK IN BECAUSE THE TRUCK STEERING WAS FUNNY, DEALER SAID BOTH CONTROL ARMS AND BOTH SWAYBAR LINKS WOR OUT. AND TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AND THE REPAIR WOULD COST CONSUMER ABOUT $1000.00.*AK

MY 2002 DODGE RAM HAS SEVERAL POTETIAL ACCIDENT, CAUSING PROBLEMS, ONE WHEN IM DRIVING IN THE RAIN OR AFTER A RAIN WATER IN THE ROAD IT CAUSES M STEERING TO LOCK UP AND I CANNOT STEER. I REPORTED THIS TO A DEALER IN TOWN AND THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THE STEERING WILL TURN INTO MANUAL DRIVE AND SEEM HARDER TO STEER, WOW I COULD NOT BELIEVE I HEARD THAT AND THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN CORRECTED AND I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO DODGE ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS. ALSO WHEN IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY IN THE 2002 DODGE RAM AND I RUN OVER A SMALL BUMP SUCH AS ON OVERPASSES WHEN THE BRIDGE PORTION MEETS THE GROUND SIDE MY TRUCK WILL LOSE CONTROL SOMETIMES TO THE POINT OF THE REAR END ATTEMPTING TO SPIN THE TRUCK AROUND I GUESS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS PREVENTED THIS IS THE FORWARD MOVEMENT ITSELF, HOWEVER I HAVE COME UPON SITUATIONS WHEN IM TURNING IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION AND A BUMP IS IN THE ROAD PRIOR TO THE TURN AND THE TRUCK LEAVES ME LIMITED CONTROL AS THE REAR END SUSPENSION REACTING TO THE SMALL BUMP ATTEMPTS TO MAKE THE TRUCKS REAR END JUMP AND ATTEMPT TO SPEND AROUND. THIS IS A VERY SICK FEELING AND NUMEROUS PASSANGERS HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN FOR THIS TRUCKS FAULT AS THEY EXPERIENCE THIS WHILE RIDING IN THE TRUCK.*AK

THE REAR DOORS OF MY 2002 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB TRUCK WILL NOT UNLOCK.

THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED (I'M STILL MAKING $400+ MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON THE TRUCK). AT THIS TIME, I HAVE NOT SUFFERED ANY CONSEQUENCES. POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES ARE THAT A REAR SEAT PASSENGER (ESPECIALLY A CHILD) CAN BECOME TRAPPED IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. A KIT/PART IS AVAILABLE (DODGE PART NUMBER 5086593AA) TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, SO IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM.*AK
