2002 Dodge Ram complaints

HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS, AND TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM PICKUP. HEADLIGHTS SWITCHED TO HIGH BEAM, WILL NOT SWITCH TO LOW BEAM AND VICE A VERSA. WIPERS WILL NOT GO TO STEADY WIPING, OR FAST WIPING SPORADICALLY. TURN SIGNALS WILL SIGNAL 'RIGHT TURN' WHEN I SWITCH THE LEVER FOR A 'LEFT TURN', AND VICE A VERSA, AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS YET, AND I HAVE REFRAINED FROM DRIVING AT NIGHT OR WHEN IT IS RAINING IF POSSIBLE. *TR

TOP OF DASH IS CRACKING IN NUMEROUS PLACES AROUND THE DEFROSTER OPENINGS. THIS LEAVES NUMEROUS SHARP EDGES ON TOP OF THE DASH. *TR

STARTED IN 2005 WITH A BLOWN LIFTER AT 37000 MILES. IN 2008 THE LIFTERS,VALVES ON ONE SIDE BLEW AS DID THE HEAD. DODGE CLAIMED I WASN'T CHANGING OIL PROPERLY AS IT WAS FULL OF SLUDGE. THE OIL PUMP AND SUMP CLOGGED RESULTING IN ALL THE DAMAGE. $3800.00 TO REPAIR. IN MARCH 2009 LIFTERS BLEW AGAIN. COST $600.00 TO REPAIR. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED. I CHANGED THE OIL AND IT WAS FULL OF SLUDGE. I HAVE BEEN CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 1500 MILES SINCE MARCH 2009 USING RINSOLINE TO TRY AND CLEAN MOTOR. IT STILL TAKES S 6-10 SECONDS AFTER START TO GET OIL PRESSURE TO MOTOR. LIFTERS ARE TAPPING AGAIN AND I AM SURE THEY ARE READY TO GO. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL USING CASTROL SYNTEC 5-30 EVERY 3000-4000 MILES SINCE I BOUGHT TRUCK NEW IN 10/2001. I BELIEVE THE SLUDGE ISSUE IS DUE TO A FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN ON THE 4.7 L V8 DODGE USED. I KNOW FIND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR

2002 DODGE RAM 1500 4.7 ENGINE DEFECT DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEADS, LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE ENGINE LOCK UP WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF ENGINE FAILURE THEY MOST OFTEN START WITH A CYLINDER MISFIRE AND GO FROM THEIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 4.7L 2WD QUAD CAB. ON OCTOBER 30TH, MY VEHICLE DECIDED IT WAS GANNA LET GO OF THREE SENSORS ALL AT ONCE. AN IGNITION, TIMING, AND ??HYAC?? , COST ME ALMOST 750$ IN PARTS AND LABOR AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. ONE (1) WEEK LATER MY TRUCK BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND A HAIRLINE FRACTURE IN THE RADIATOR FILL RESERVOIR STEM. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE OVERHEATING WAS DUE TO A PRESSURIZATION PROBLEM. AFTER THAT WAS FIXED AND THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING MY RADIATOR EXPLODED UNDER NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES. AFTER THE RADIATOR AND THE WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT WERE REPLACED AND I HAD THE TRUCK RUNNING AGAIN I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CIRCULATION OF THE FLUIDS AND OUT OF THE SUDDEN STRING OF EVENTS IT STARTED TO EMIT WHITE SMOKE AND I WAS RUNNING OUT OF RADIATOR FLUID ALL DUE TO A RUPTURED HEAD GASKET. AFTER REPLACING ALL OF THE TOP END ENGINE GASKETS AND THE CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS, I STARTED UP MY TRUCK AGAIN AND IT RAN GREAT FOR ABOUT TWO (2) MINUTES AND GRINDED, CHOKED, TINGED, PANGED, BANGED AND FINALLY SPUTTERED TO A STOP. I STARTED FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE,...AGAIN....AND FOUND THAT MY CAM SHAFT GEAR HAD SPUN ON THE CAMSHAFT AND SHEARED THE CAM LOBE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO LOCK IT INTO PLACE. I HAVENT TOUCHED IT SINCE AND ALL TOGETHER MY FAMILY HAS PAYED 1700$ JUST TO HAVE A BROKEN VEHICLE IN OUR DRIVEWAY. *CN

2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB, DASHBOARD IS CRACKING FOR NO SPECIFIC REASON. CRACKS ARE NOT JUST SUPERFICIAL BUT RATHER COMPLETELY THROUGH THE DASHBOARD STRUCTURE AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS. PIECES OF THE DASH COULD BECOME PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY STOP OR IF INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THERE IS NO SUBSTRUCTURE TO STOP PIECES OF THE DASH FROM FALLING INTO THE INTERIOR WORKINGS OF THE CAB AND PERHAPS CAUSING INSTRUMENT FAILURE, FIRES ETC. THIS DEFAULT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

DASH STARTED CRACKING AT 30,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO REPAIR SAID IT WAS MY FAULT. TEXAS HEAT. THE DASH MATERIAL IS LITERALLY DISINTEGRATING. MATERIAL IS DEFECTIVE, HAVE OTHER DODGE VEHICLES THAT ARE OLDER AND NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM AND THEY ARE OLDER AND WERE NEVER KEPT IN GARAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT 20 MPH INTO HIS DRIVEWAY THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED. HE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,100.

DASHBOARD ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB SNAPPED IN FOUR PIECES WHILE DRIVING OVER A SPEED BUMP. I SEARCHED FOR A DASHBOARD ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF DODGE VEHICLES, EVEN SOME 2006 MODELS. IT SEEMS THAT THE PLASTIC THAT THEY USED TO MAKE THIS DASHBOARDS ITS NOT DURABLE AT ALL. THOUGHT MAYBE THE SOUTH TEXAS HEAT HAD CAUSED THE DASH TO WEAKEN, BUT HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT ITS HAPPENING IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT ZIP CODES. THERE IS SOME VEHICLES THAT HAVE HOLES ON THE DASH THAT ARE IN 18IN IN DIAMETER, I HAVE BECOME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WITH NO SUCCESS ON EVEN TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE, THEY ARE APPARENTLY NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THINK WITH A CRASH AND THESE DASHBOARDS BREAKING, THE PIECES ARE SHARP AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING IT CAN CAUSE A MUCH LARGER DAMAGE, ALSO WITH THE HOLES ON THE DASH IT EXPOSES THE WIRING AND ELECTRONIC PARTS TO THE INTENSE HEAT THE CAN CAUSE IT TO OVERHEAT ANT CATCH ON FIRE OR MALFUNCTION OF OTHER ELECTRONIC PARTS, I DON'T KNOW IF I AM THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THIS, BUT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS WHEN ONE OF THESE VEHICLES PARTICIPATES ON A ACCIDENT, I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY PASSENGERS. *TR

WE HAD A TUNE-UP AND PLUG CHANGE 6/27/08, A MONTH LATER 7/21/08 THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A TAPPING NOISE. PULLED OVER, LIFTED HOOD AND FOUND AN OIL FILL CONE STUCK IN THE OIL FILL AND THE OIL CAP STUCK UP UNDER THE SIDE WALL. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE ROCKER ARM HAD COME OFF, REINSTALLED THE ROCKER ARM AND DID AN OIL CHANGE AT NO CHARGE TO US. 4/23/09 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODE P0300 AND WE PAID TO REPLACE THE #6 ROCKER ARM. 7/13/09 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN P0300. DEALERSHIP ADDED TREATMENT AND DECARBONED THE ENGINE. ON 8/2/09 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN P0300. TRIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 8/3/09 AND THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED OFF TO ZERO. WE CALLED DEALERSHIP & ADVISED OF PROBLEM, THAT WE DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT IN AND WOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP ON 8/5/09. DEALERSHIP DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE TRUCK UNTIL 8/10/09. THEY REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET, DID A VALVE JOB, REPLACED THE OIL SWITCH, THERMOSTAT AND WATER PUMP. THE TRUCK WAS PICKED UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON 8/18/09. ON 8/22/09 WHEN STARTED THE TRUCK MADE THE TAPPING NOISE AGAIN. ON 8/24/09, I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE NOISE AND WAS TOLD TO IT SHOULD RESOLVE ITSELF AND BRING IT IN ONLY IF IT MAKES THE NOISE AGAIN. ON 8/31/09 THE TRUCK MADE THE TAPPING NOISE AGAIN ON START UP. VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 9/1, TOLD 9/3 THAT ANOTHER ROCKER ARM WAS GOING BAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD FIX BUT WHEN ASKED WHAT WAS CAUSING THE ROCKER AR

2002 DODGE RAM 1500 4.7 ENGINE. I HAVE 3 COMPLAINTS. THE FIRST IS THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE DROPPING TO 0. I UNDERSTAND FROM LOOKING AT COMPLAINT SITES A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. MANY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINES. MY OTHER PROBLEM IS COSMETIC. THE DASH IN MY TRUCK IS CRACKED IN ABOUT 8 PLACES. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE THIRD COMPLAINT IS THE RADIATOR FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT HAD PLASTIC TANKS WHICH CRACKED. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE THESE PROBLEMS RIGHT. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE 1500 PICKUP TRUCK. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED. IT IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE DASH BOARD WHICH HAS RECENTLY FORMED MANY HAIRLINE CRACKS. I HAVE BEEN READING ON LINE, MOTOR TREND THREAD, THAT THIS IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND CAN DEVELOP INTO GRAVE SAFETY ISSUES. IN FACT THE DASHBOARDS IN SOME VEHICLES HAVE COLLAPSED AND HAVE CAUSED ELECTRIC PROBLEMS. ALSO THE AIRBAGS INTEGRITY IS QUESTIONED. YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER/DODGE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO ASSURE MY FAMILIES SAFETY? OUTSIDE OF NOT DRIVING THE TRUCK I AM UNSURE WHAT ELSE TO DO? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE RAM. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONERY, THE EXTERIOR BODY PAINT EXPOSED A WHITE SPOT THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL. THE DEFECT WAS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE HOOD. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS BUBBLING ON THE EXTERIOR PAINT NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR BODY PAINT DEFECT WOULD EVENTUALLY RUST FROM THE INNER TO THE OUTER SURFACE. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BROUGHT IN WHEN IT BEGINS TO RUST AND POSSIBLY REPAIRED AT NO COST. AS OF JULY 24, 2008, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 YEARS< THE PAINT IS STARTING TO PEEL, AND IT IS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE I AM HOPING YOU CAN POINT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU. *TR

THIS 6 YEAR OLD DODGE TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED THREE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD THAT RUN FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. I BELIEVE THAT THE FUNCTION OF MY AIR BAGS MAY BE AFFECTED IN A CRASH DUE TO THESE CRACKS.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND SOME OF THE GRILL PIECES THAT COVER THE DEFROSTER DUCTS HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DUCTS.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WITH THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL ACTIVATED, SEVERAL VEHICLES ATTEMPTED TO PASS ON MY LEFT. TO MY DISMAY I DISCOVERED THAT THE DIRECTIONAL INDICATOR WAS SIGNALING A RIGHT TURN WHILE IN THE LEFT ACTIVATED POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER CANNOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM, SO NO ACTION IS TAKEN. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED TO NOW I CAN CHANGE THE DIRECTIONAL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT BY RAISING OR LOWERING THE TILT STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE SIGNAL INDICATOR IS ACTIVATED. SOME TIMES IT JUST DOES NOT GO ON AT ALL. *TR

I HAD NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASH ONE DAY AFTER WORK AND NOW THERE ARE SEVERAL. THE ONE THAT CONCERNS ME MOST, IS THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. I KEEP MY VEHICLE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE SO THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO NEGLECT. THE MATERIAL USED JUST SEEMS TO BE VERY BRITTLE AND I AM AFRAID IF ANYTHING WAS TO HAPPEN CAUSING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, WHAT IS THE BRITTLE DASH PIECES ARE GOING TO DUE TO MY PASSENGER. I DO BELIEVE THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS INJURY TO SOMEONE'S FACE OR EYES. AS OF NOW CHRYSLER SEEMS TO BE SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURES PROBLEM, I DISAGREE, I ALSO OWN A 97' DODGE RAM TRUCK THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. CURRENT VEHICLE IS A 02' RAM 1500. *TR
