1995 Dodge Ram complaints

I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND AS I COMPLETED PASSING THE ACCELERATOR STUCK IN THE WIDE OPEN THROTTLE POSITION. SINCE I WAS ACCELERATING WIDE OPEN THROTTLE WITH NO CONTROL I DECIDED TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF BUT IN THE PROCESS LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. 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. SOMETHING IN THIS CABLE MECHANISM IS STICKING/BINDING AND THE RETURN SPRING ISN'T STRING ENOUGH TO POP IT BACK. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE. APPARENTLY THE DIESEL VERSION HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT THE V-10 HAS NOT. IT APPEARS THE V-10 ALSO SUFFERS FROM THIS STUCK ACCELERATOR PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 20MPH, AND SHIFTING GEARS IT WOULD STICK IN FIRST GEAR. THIS CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP AND NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. TRANSMISSION HAS BEE REPLACED 3 TIMES, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PLEASE ADD VIN. *AK

STEERING SHUDDERED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MPH AND WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. VEHICLE VIBRATING AND SHUDDERING UNCONTROLLABLY THROUGH STEERING WHEEL. ALSO, IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE HAD TO DROP SPEED AROUND 20 MPH. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED THERE WAS A TSB FOR THAT PROBLEM.

DODGE RAM TRUCKS HAVE A KNOWN HISTORY OF "SELF SUSTAINING VIBRATION" OR "SHIMMY" AFTER STRIKING A SMALL BUMP, OR OFFSET IN THE ROAD. SEE DODGE TSB 19-05-96 AND OTHER STEERING RELATED ISSUES. WE HAVE HAD OUR VEHICLE WORKED ON TWICE DUE TO EXTREMELY VIOLENT SHIMMYING THAT HAS NEARLY CAUSED COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRUCK ON 6 SEPERATE OCCASSIONS. ONLY BY INCREDIBLE LUCK AND SKILL HAS THERE NOT BEEN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES. THE TSB I JUST REFERENCED SUGGESTS THAT THE SERVICE PERSONNEL "TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE OVER A ROAD THAT DUPLICATES THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINT AND IF SHIMMYING IS FELT PERFORM ..." THIS IS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE IN THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN NOT BE REPLICATED BY SUCH A PROCEDURE. THE FACT REMAINS THAT ONE CAN DRIVE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF MILES OVER THE SAME ROAD AND THE PROBLEM WILL NOT REPRODUCIBLY APPEAR. BUT, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO NOTICE, AND AT RANDOM, THE VIOLENT SELF SUSTAINING AND PROPAGATING SHAKING WILL SUDDENLY OCCUR AND ONE WILL NEARLY WRECK. DURING THE LAST SUCH EPISODE WHICH OCCURRED LAST WEEK, THE VIOLENT SHAKING WAS SO GREAT THAT A 140 POUND CARDBOARD BOX ABOUT 18 INCHES HIGH WAS NEARLY THROWN OUT OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. THIS INCIDENT OCCURED AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON A CURVE ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE FRONT TIRE OF THE TRUCK HIT A HOLE IN THE ROAD THAT WAS ABOUT 4 INCHES WIDE, 1 FOOT LONG, AND MAYBE AN INCH DEEP. IN OTHER WORDS, THE BUMP WAS NOTHING. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF THE O

THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO PRIVATE MECHANIC TO CHECK OUT SYSTEM. WAS INFORMED THAT ELECTRICAL WIRES WERE MELTED TOGETHER. THERE WERE NO RECALLS. *AK

IN MY ACCIDENT WHICH WAS A FRONTAL ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS NEVER OPENED. *AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 5MPH AND THROTTLE GOT STUCK. DEALERSHIP WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*AK CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL #970 FOR THE THROTTLE CABLE AND THROTTLE LINKAGE COMPONETS TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER AFTER BECOMING STRANDED AND THEN HAVING VEHICLE TOWED IT WAS DETERMINED BY A MECHANIC THAT NONE OF THE THROTTLE LINKAGES COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED AND MECHANIC INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THE THE PREVIOUS DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE WORK MUST HAVE USED A DEFECTIVE PART AND CONSUMER REALIZED THAT THE REPAIR ONLY TOOK AN HOUR.*JB

I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE REGARDING THIS FAILURE, ARE TECH OR SAFETY BULLETINS BEING GENERATED, ARE OTHERS REPORTING THE FAILURE? RAM DIESEL MODEL FAILURE MODE ALLOWS STARTER TO REMAIN ENGAGED AND ENGINE RUNNING WITH VEHICLE KEY IN THE OFF POSITION. AFTER DIAGNOSING AND FAILURE ANALYSIS IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS FAILURE MODE IS NOT ONLY COMMON (INPUT FROM VARIOUS WEBSITES) BUT ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN MY OPINION. WHILE THE ROOT CAUSE (STARTER FAILURE) IS ACCEPTABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE WITH AGE OF THE VEHICLE, THE SYMPTOM AND EFFECT IS NOT. INTERNAL SHORTING OF THE STARTER CAUSES 12VDC FEEDBACK THROUGH THE CONTROL CIRCUIT AND ALLOWS THE STARTER TO REMAIN ENGAGED AND VEHICLE TO REMAIN RUNNING WIT THE KEY ON!. IF LUCKY ENOUGH TO REACT TO THE FAILURE IN TIME PRIOR TO COMPONENTS AND WIRING BURNING UP AND MELTING, YOU MUST GET UNDER THE HOOD TO DISCONNECT "2" BATTERIES, OR CLIMB UNDER THE VEHICLE TO HIT THE STARTER TO SHUT DOWN ENGINE AND DISENGAGE STARTER, EITHER AGAIN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING WITH THE KEY OFF AND START ENGAGED IN FLYWHEEL, IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO JUMP IN GEAR (STD TRANSMISSION) BODILY INJURY WOULD CERTAINLY TAKE PLACE. AFTER MY FIRST FAILURE THE DEALER REPLACED THE DAMAGED COMPONENTS AT A COST OF >$700 BUT FAILED TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE. ONLY AFTER INFORMATION LOCATED IN THE "TURBODIESEL WEBSITE" AND REPEAT FAILURE WAS I ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT ROOT CAUSE!*AK

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL 01V037OOO DUE TO VIN. DEALER DENIED REPAIRS DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. DEALER ADVISED THAT PARTS WERE 8,000 IN BACK ORDER.*AK

THE SET OF 5 TIRES WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH AND HAD 6300 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRE SEPARATED AND BLEWOUT LEAVING THE SIDE WALL INTACT AND SPLIT FROM TOP OF TIRE TO RIM. THE SEPERATION PATTERN IS CONSIDERABLY NOTICABLE. THIS BLOW OUT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO SIDE PANEL OF TRUCK, RIPPING OUT THE SIDEWALL PLASTIC COVER AND MUD FLAP. THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THIS TIRE HAS MADE ME VERY LEARY OF DRIVING WITH THE OTHERS.*AK (TIRESIZE: 245 75/R16)

RECALL 96 V 230 000/STEERING COLUMN: VEHICLE EXPEREINCED A LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

THE TRAILER HITCH ISSUE, I BELEVE, IS SERIOUS. "OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND" A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 1998 TO 2001.5 MODELS. INVESTAGTION SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 1994 MODELS THIS IS SERIOUS. ALSO THE TRACK BAR ISSUE, THIS EFFECTS THE HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE THE SO CALLED "SHIMMY" THIS ALSO NEEDS TO BE LOOKED IN TO.*AK

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 99V214000. SERVICE WAS REFUSED BY DEALERSHIP(S) BECAUSE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE A 'CERTIFIED WELDER' AND VEHICLE COULD NOT FIT INTO THEIR GARAGE. *AK *JB
