1999 Dodge Ram complaints

I DO NOT HAVE EXACT MILEAGE INTREVALS BUT THE REAR BRAKE DRUMS HAVE HAD TO BE CUT TWICE ALREADY AND NEED IT AGAIN. THE TRUCK JUST TURNED 44000 MILES AND IS NOT USED FOR WORK OR HEAVY HAULING. NORMAL DRIVING HAS CAUSED THIS PROBLEM WHICH I FEEL SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE DRUMS ARE OUT OF ROUND, I HAVE TO BUY NEW DRUMS AS THEY CAN ONLY BE CUT DOWN A COUPLE TIMES AND KEEP THEIR SAFE THICKNESS. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY ITEM BUT A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AS THE REAR BRAKE SHOES ARE NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE DRUMS AS THEY SHOULD BE, AND THE TRUCK JERKS AND JOLTS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED DUE TO UNEVEN BRAKING SURFACES.*AK

I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT WHERE I REAR ENDED A TRACTOR TRAILER. I WAS TRAVELING 70MPH AND THE TRACTOR TRAILER 55MPH. I HIT THE TRUCK EXACTLY PERPENDICULAR AND THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WAS CRUSHED IN ABOUT 2 FEET. THE FRAME WAS SEVERLY DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I AM FILING THIS BECAUSE THE BODY SHOP HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WE TAKE ACTION. HE SAID THE AREA WHERE THE SENSORS FOR THE AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED WAS MANGLED AND THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS CHECKED BY JOHN KELTNER (LIC. # 35844). HIS REMARKS WERE THAT THE SYSTEM TEST WAS PERFORMED AND NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND AT THIS TIME AND NO REPAIRS WERE NEEDED. I AM AWARE OF SOME RECALLS WITH DODGE AND WANTED TO BE SURE THE AIRBAG SYSTEMS WOULD BE COVERED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.*AK

I LEASED THIS VEHICLE NEW , AND FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, EVERY 10,000 MILES APPROXIMATELY, I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE TRACKER BAR REPLACED, TIE ROD ENDS HAVE ALSO BEEN REPLACED. THE FRONT END STILL SHIMMIES TERRIBLE, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AT TIMES. I ALSO HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION TROUBLE, AND ENGINE SKIPPING CONSTANTLY. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THE WAY I AM TREATED AT THE DEALER ALSO. THEY WERE VERY NICE TO ME WHEN THEY WANTED TO SELL THE VEHICLE BUT EVERY TIME I BRING IT IN TO THEM AND ASK WHY THEY CAN'T FIX IT, THEY GET HUFFY AND TRY TO PUT THE BLAME ON ME. NOW I COULD SEE IF THE VEHICLE WERE OLD, BUT IT HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT! I WAITED ALONG TIME TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD A DODGE PICKUP, AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED, I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A CHEVY. I TRIED TO TALK TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT LEMON LAWING IT BUT THEY WON'T TALK TO ME .

REAR DRUM BRAKES DRIVER SIDE SELF ADJUSTED INTO THE DRUM CAUSING THE BRAKES TO WEAR DOWN VERY QUICKLY TO THE METAL SURFACE. ON INSPECTION THE ADJUSTER MECHANISM LOOKED FINE. RIGHT SIDE REAR BRAKES LOOKED FINE. INSPECTION 3 MONTHS AGO WAS FINE. AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE VEHICLE WAS TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER. IN MY 35 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER SEEN BRAKE SYSTEM DO THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. BRAKE SYSTEM ARE FAR TOO CRUCIAL JUST TO PASS THIS OFF AS A FLUKE (QUOTING THE DEALERSHIP ).*AK

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK BRAND NEW IN NOV. OF 1998 WITH APPROX. 10 MILES ON IT. AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK QUITTING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK INTO SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS SENT HOME WITH US UNFIXED, TELLING US THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WITH THISIS THAT THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITENT. IT MAY QUIT TODAY, AND NOT AGAIN FOR 2 MONTHS, OR IT MAY QUIT TODAY AND AGAIN TOMORROW. WE HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN APPROX. 6-8 TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, YET UNFIXED EVERY SINGLE TIME. THE TRUCK HAS HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP 3X AS IT QUIT AND WOULDN'T RESTART. WHEN THE TRUCK QUITS, THE ENGINE SIMPLY QUITS AND EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. YOU HAVE NO STEERING CONTROL WHAT-SO-EVER. WHEN IT QUITS, SOMETIMES THE TRUCK RESTARTS AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, OTHERS TIMES IT DOESN'T RESTART. AS I STATED, WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 3X AS IT WOULDN'T RESTART. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND COMPLAINED EVERYTIME THE TRUCK HAS CUT OUT. THEY GAVE ME A FILE NUMBER AND SIMPLY TAKE THE COMPLAINT AGAIN, THATS ALL THEY DO. I HAVE REQUESTED FOR A CHRYSLER REP. HELP THE SERVICE TECH. SOLVE THE PROBLEM, MY REQUEST WAS DENIED. I HAVE BEGGED FOR SOMEONE FROM CHRYSLER ASSIST THE DEALERSHIP IN FINDING THE PROBLEM, NO ONE CAME OUT. I WROTE THEM A CE

THIS WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY ANOTHER OWNER OF THE SAME VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY FRONT TIRES WERE BALD. I CHECKED THEM AND FOUND THEY WERE OK. I HAD ALREADY REPLACED TWO OF THEM IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. TURNS OUT THE PERSON ADVISING ME HAD ALSO DONE SO AND THERE WAS STILL ANOTHER PERSON (WE ALL BELONG TO THE SAME CHURCH AND DRIVE THE SAME VEHICLE) EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FRONT TIRES ARE WEARING EXCESSIVELY AND THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION BUT HAS ELECTED TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE WRONG TIRES ARE BEING SOLD WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THEY FINALLY GOT THE DEALERSHIP TO AGREE TO THE FACT THAT THEY WERE THE WRONG TIRES AND THEY REPLACED THEM WITH TRUCK TIRES BECAUSE THE VAN IS ON A TRUCK CHASIS. I'M ON MY SECOND SET AND HAVE FEWER THAN 25,000 MILES ON MY VAN!*AK (TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)

THERE ARE TWO POINTS WHERE THERE ARE HOLES IN BACK OF STEERING WHEEL. IF YOU HAVE A LONG KEY ON YOU KEY CHAIN, IT CAN BECOME LODGED IN THE HOLES AND PREVENT YOU FROM TURNING THE VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF PLUG IN THESE HOLES TO PREVENT THIS FROM RAND POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.*AK

AT 14000 MILES THE REAR END WAS MAKING GRINDING SOUNDS, DEALER REPLASED BERINGS,SHIMS AND SEALS WITH A FLUSH JOB. NOW AT 56000 THE REAR END IS DOING THE SAME, THE NOW TELL ME THAT THE SIDE AND PINION BERINGS SEALS AND SHIMS ARE BAD. THIS IS NOT RIGHT THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. I HAVE NOT TOED OR HAVE HAD ANY EXTRA HEAVY LOAD IN THE TRUCK. AT MY MILAGE THE TRUCK IS HARDLY BROKEN IN, I DROVE MY CHEVROLET AND FORD TRUCK BOTH 1/2 TONS WELL OVER 200K MILES AND NEVER A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR END. THIS ONE THE DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL IN LESS THEN 60K THE REAR END GOES TWO TIMES. THE OTHER PROBLEMS I HAD I DID NOT MAKE A BIG STINK ABOUT THEM I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. SO I KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT, BUT THIS REAR END PROBLEM IS THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMELS BACK. I WORK FOR A LIVING I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO THROW IN THE WIND, THIS IS THE PROBLEM OF THE MANUFACTURER, THEY ARE THE ONE THAT SHOULD PAY FOR CRAPY MANUFACTURING. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A FORD I KNOW THEY WOULD NOT HAVE LEFT ME WITH THE BILL.*AK( DOT NUMBER: )
