Read complaints for DODGE DODGE TRUCK (1996)


1996 dodge ram extended cab pick up involved in severe frontal crash.airbags did not deploy.dodge's investigation said that this was correct since the damage was in the "crush" "crumple" areas and energy did not disipate enough to activate airbags? insurance company totaled vehicle due to severe damage. We have picturesof damage. Is dodge correct or just trying to sweep this under the rug since our son did not get injuried in this accident.we have owned two other dodge vehicles the past several years.i am driving one now, is my family safe?

False deployment of driver's side air bag resulting in injuries to consumer (attorney for consumer).

Our batteries both died together on the day before our recall appt. In consequence, to return home, we had to buy two(2) new batteries. We are wondering if there is some form of remuneration for this unforeseen and costly failure?

Dealer performed recall 875 of the steering column wiring, however the repair does not appear to have fixed the problem.nlm

I was driving my 1996 dodge caravan to work one day when i began to hear a sound like an avalanche of rocks falling underneath the car.the van ultimately stopped running.i noticed coolant on the street.i towed the van to a dodge service center. They diagnosed that my water pump bearing had broken. The timing belt drives the water pump on this vehicle.once the bearing broke, it loosened and ultimately broke the timing belt which i had replaced a year before.i had to pay $990.00 for this repair, which was unexpected.the faulty bearing was responsible for me paying for a new water pump, timing belt, theromostat, and other parts associated with the timing belt assembly.since the water pump and its bearing are inside the timing belt assembly, i was not able to hear or see anything that would indicate there was a problem with the van. My van had 77,000 miles on it when this water pump bearing failed.
