Horn very hard to operate ,air bag cover gets too hard in cold weather

Chrysler denies liability. It was 2-3 degrees off center impact.point of interest: chrysler recalled 98 ram trucks and vans due to faulty air bag sensors. I also find it hard to fathom that many accidents are exactly square when the impact. My truck was only very slightly angled 2-3 degrees at impact and did so much damage the entire frame must be replaced. Icar certified airbag mechanics that saw the truck all said that the airbags should have deployed without doubt. It is very difficult for an owner to take on chrysler and their laywers. I feel that they know they have a problem and are just trying toblow me off. Thanks for your help and interest in this matter.

I was involved in a collision with my dodge ram pickup. A man turned in front of me and the front of my truck hit the side of his car. No airbags deployed, and i was moving at a good rate of speed (35-40 mph).i did contact dodge, but they are sitting on their hands, and are not sending out an investigation team to find out why the airbags didn't deploy.i would like for nhtsato conduct an investigation of their own.the truck hasn't been worked on, butthe insurance company is antsy to get the truck fixed, since i am in a rental vehicle. Is there any way of having the nhtsa come out and do an investigation in a timely matter (within a week (by 11/10))?

The contact owns a 1998 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the brake pedal went to the floorboard when depressed. The brake indicator light also illuminated. The brakes also failed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership for a diagnostic test and the contact was informed that the braking system was functioning properly but the failures were causing by an electric component. The vehicle was at the dealership for repair at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 115,000.

Within 3 days of buying the dodge truck, while traveling down the road the gauges would malfunction and the truck would die. You could put it in neutral and restart it. It was taken to the shop and nothing was found wrong. This continues. Then we started blowing breakers and fuses that run brake lights and blinkers. Took to the shop. Found nothing. Just replaced breakers and fuses 3 times in 2 weeks. Now the check engine light comes on and motor dies going down the road. We have now had to buy a new apps sensor which cost us 613.61 because truck is now out of warranty without ever being fixed. This electrical problem has been and still is a safety hazard to everyone. It could cause a serious accident which chrysler refuses to acknowledge. I know of another vehicle like mine in california that has had the same problems as mine and also one in fayetteville, ar. The man in arkansas was having his truck worked on at the same time mine was in the shop. This is too many problems for a new vehicle.

The contact owns a 1998 dodge ram.the contact stated that the brake lights and interior lighting fail to dim when the vehicle is turned off.prior to the failures, she noticed that the instrument panel lights would not dim.the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer.the current and failure mileages were 132,216.updated 07/28/09.*ljupdated 07/30/09.

The button seems very hard to push especially if cold.too much plastic??

The horn buttons are very difficult to locate/press.the resulting delay to activate the horn in an emergency situation ,could be potentially hazardous to driver/occupants or pedestrians.

Horn buttone (the area you press in the center of the steering wheel) will no press in to honk, due to design problem, due to air bag.there is not way to honk the horn

Due to the location of the horn assembly, when attempting to depress the horn pad it is very difficult to locate the horn. Consumer states that due to the airbag location, it is difficult to locate and to honk.

Horn button hard to push in panic situation. Must use extream pressure to engage.

Horn button difficult to press. Must be centered. Will not work in emergency situations.

Have to put extreme pressure on the horn pad in order for the horn to sound. When driver needs the horn to go off quickly it is impossible.

Horn sensor was difficult to locate in an emergency. Itcaused a collision in which someone was killed.

Very hard to depress horn buttons. Must use excessive force in cente rof steering wheel to honk horn.

Horn does not sound when depressed; backup lights lens cover is tinted.

The horn on the dodge ram p/u is almost impossible to engage or sound.a person has to push through the airbag to make the horn sound.i have had several people who have complained about this and have seen the problem in several vehicles.any help you can get dodge to do in replacing the horn would be appreciated.

The horn is very difficult to operate through the airbag.many times it has failed to sound at all.

Horn very hard to operate ,air bag cover gets too hard in cold weather

When trying to use the horn, you have to push so hard that it is almost impossible to get it to work without going off the road. The rubber covering the steering wheel center is way to hard to operate the horn. I have been told by other people with '98 dodge truck, rams that the only way to fix the problem is to install a '99 ram airbag assembly. I am going to be going to my dealer in a couple of weeks and i am going to see what they can do about this problem. It would make it a lot easier if the nhtsa would do something about this problem since i have heard that dealers refuse to fix the problem in many cases.

Horn has two small buttons on both side of airbag cover whichare too small to locate and hard to press, not allowing driver to communicate with other drivers. Manufacturer states there is no plan to revise horn.

Horn can not be sounded in a quick emergency situation due to airbag configuration. Can only be sounded if thumb is precisely pressed exactly on two spots indicated while looking at those spots ie: can not have eyes on road..

The passenger's or driver's side seat belt does not retract. Also, you almost have to punch the horn pad to get it to work. The dealership was not able to correct the problem with the seat belt or the horn.owner has 2 other trucks with the same problems. Please list vin #s for other 2 trucks.

Horn is almost impossible to honk, dealer says it is because of airbag housing and there is not room for horn contacts to work, so no matter where you push or how hard you hit the steering wheel, it will not allow the horn to honk!

The design of horn button hardens in cold weather causing difficulties locating horn in a emergency.occasionally the horn fails to work properly.the cruise control would gradually decrease without brakes being applied. Taken vehicle to dealer to check.

Horn is very hard to locate on steering column, and it is very hard to depress to get it to blow.this vehicle has narrowly missed being involved in 2 or 3 accidents because the driver could not use the horn.

Horn is extremely hard to blow. Eccessive pressure required. Estimated 25 - 30 pounds.

Horn difficult to operate; trans shifts out of drive into neutral when driving over bumps and engine is under load

If horn is not pushed in particular way the horn will not work. Dealer notified, and informed consumer nothing could be done because that is the way it was made.

The horn is very difficult to apply. Owner has to add excessive pressure to get horn to function. Dlr says it's normal.

The horn is very hard to push to make it sound. In an emgerency situation it is very dangerous. The dealer is well aware of the problem.

Horn is located on top of steering wheel where the airbags come out. Consumer cannot placeentire hand on the horn to make it work .only a single point he can presswith his finger on thesteering column. That is the only way he can hear the horn.*ml

Horn is almost impossible to blow, you have to take eyes off the road to find horn button

I think that a horn that requires so much effort that it is useless is a safety problem. Although the dealer and the company district representitive say that the all of the 1998 horns are like that. Somethingcan be done. Chrysler says in their specs that the horn should operate at 2 lbs of pressure not, the 10 lbs or more that they really take.i would like to know why, if there is no problem (they claim) did they fix it for 1999. Same steering wheel and pad but it now works.

Due to build up of pressure in the air bag module,the horn sensors are extremely hard to apply.please give any further details.

The driver has to press down on the horn pad extremely hard before the horn will blow. This is very dangerous in an emergency situation.

Many of my friends have the same problem with 1998 dodge trucks, chrysler says it is "normal" and will not fix.horn button was re-designed for 1999 and does not have the problem.

Horn difficult to honk, operates intermittently.

Horn difficult to activate, requires extreme force in very specific location.

It is impossible to activate the horn, the cover for the air bag is a hard plastic and you really have to push to activate it.in an emergency, it is impossible.

Spark knock noticed, vehicle taken to nearest dodge dealership(colonial dr., orlando,fl). Vehicle was evaluated by computer diagnostic system and road test: reported as normal. On further insistance and discussion, service tech found intake manifold gasket was defective and would need replacement. It was also mentioned by this dealership, as well as by several other mechanics, that this is a problem dodge is having on v-6 and v-8 style engines. This problem has become so widespread that dodge has published bulletins on repair of this defect. Dodge has also agreed to repair this defect in the v-6 engines. Since i am theowner of a v-8 engine that this defect also exists, i feel dodge is responsible for the failure of the part in my engine and i should be compensated for the diagnostic test and repair of engine manifold plenum pan gasket. Thank-you for your assisstance in this matter.

I have an ongoing problem with preignition (spark knock) in my 1998 dodge ram 1500 with the 318 cid/5.2l motor..at 24,896 miles, my dealer re-programmed the pcm and re-routed the spark wires.the spark knock continued.at 35,067 miles, the dealer adjusted the timing; i didn't think this could be done.the spark knock continued.at 43,281 miles, the dealer replaced the intake plenium gasket.the spark knock continued.at 45,093, the dealer replaced both engine heads.the spark knock continued.at 57,452 miles, i installed a colder thermostat and this helped somewhat, but the spark knock returned.and, today at 74,834 miles i installed a set of truck spark plugs to see if that will help.the bottom line is that this truck has an inherint defective design in the engine which is being prematurely worn out due to spark knock.i would like the nhtsa to investigate, and help me in securing a replacement for my problem plagued lemon.thank you!

In cold weather defective pcm part within computerbecomes inoperative, causing the fuel/oil pump and water gauge to go out. Also driver is unable to shift gears. Chrsyler cannot determine problem.

Consumer recived a letter from dealer saying that they had a recall on the enigine computer, recall #799, and also a recall on a defective fuel pump, recall #788. Consumer says that the dealer does not have parts yet .

The truck we purchased had a towing package as ordered.what they didn't tell us is that the wiring isn't heavy enough for prolonged use.we tow a 50' trailer with our truck for a living.right after we purchased it we had to replace the trailer relay switch and then many, many fuses.then we started smelling hot wiring.the headlight switch was hot and lights inside started going light to dark.then they went out completely.we lost all truck lights and trailer lights going down the highway at 55 miles an hour.we took it into the dealership and they had to replace the main truck wiring harness and the light switch and the short pigtail between them.dodge knows this has been a common problem with rams used for towing.the consumer was experiencing wiring problem ( not heavy enough wires) with all three vehicles owned.

Fuel pump had to be replaced due to engine dying out. Engine checklight came on & then died out. Had fuse replaced due to blowing out constantly. Engine & catalytic converteraffected.

Headlight wires melted. Replaced by dealer. Problem renturned on second set. Please provide further information.

Electrical system is not operable. Park lights wouldn't come on, andconsumer smells like an electrical fire. There is a fuel leak leaking fromback ofengine.

All instrument guages and warning lights do not work consistantly.at times there is no way to know what speed i am going and how much full i have because the guages are not working.i believe this consitutes a safety problem.i have heard other owners of 1997 model year vehicles were having similar problems.

Instruments panel hasfailed to workdue tocircuit board. Dealer was notified, and unwilling to assist due to vehicle beingout of warranty/ not covered undermanufacturer'srecall. Provide any further details on this matter.

While travel at any speed vehiclestalled and lostpower.

Truck has been nothing but problems replaced many parts for leaks and transmission problems engine light consistently comes on even after repairs. Truck buck when accelerating looses engine power. Would like it fixed i read other complaints and they had the same problem. I put a lot of money into the truck and have not yet been able to fix problem because they cant seem to figure out the cause. Problem has been on going since vehicle was purchased.

My husband ordered this truck in late 1997. We purchased it new and have had numerous problems with the vehicle.the biggest problem we have faced is the transmission.mid-april 1998 the first problems occured with slippage, the transmission cooling lines were replaced, one month later the torque converter went and repairs were made.now at 51,000 miles and very little driving for the last 2 yrs (since my husband has been sick with cancer) it has blown again.the front seals are leaking profusely.the rear window was leaking so badly at one point the entire ceiling inside was soaded.the abs computer went wacky on us early on also. The seatbelt has been twisted since we purchased the vehicle and we have not successfully fixed it. The extended warranty we purchased has gone out of business.i will not likely buy another dodge ever again.mercedes takes the cake.

While driving vehicle stalled.driver was unable to restart vehicle, and had it towed to dealer.mechanic determined that transmission and engine neededto be replaced due to wear and tear.

The vehicle stalled due to a coolant leak.the dealer was notified.*nlm

Consumer complaining of driving vehicle on the street at 40 mph, on normal road conditions, when consumer went to apply the brakes, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Dealer notified, but still wants consumer to pay even with warranty. Proportioning valve was replaced.consumer states there is a snapping noise in the steering column, dealer replaced front axle track.steering wheel was off center.lower radiator hose was rubbing the frame and was worn, dealer replaced.

Consumer was having problems with the intake manifold. The intake manifold ruptured which caused the oil to be sucked out of the oil pan, after the repair was made on the gasket, the bearing on the crankshaft failed, prior to the failure the consumer noticed the oil pressure gauge did not register correctly.

Head gasket is leakingonto exhaust. The oil leaking on to the exhaust pipe could cause fire when the exhaust pipe becomes hot.

Failure of the intake gasket caused the engine's oil supply to be evacuated through the vacuum system. Not only was this event detrimental to the engine itself but it also contaminated the vacuum and exhaust systems.

When driving the plenum within the engineheadgasket blew out. This part has blowen out every 6 thousand miles, parts have been replaced on three different occasions. Please provide any further details.

Leaking oil through tailpipe-engine clatter at high speed.defective intake base gasket.blew out four quarts of oil over 750 mile trip, mostly interstate travel.service bulletin not divulged to owner during routine service.

Truck vibrates between 30-67 mph.dealer has changed the torque converter, drivershaft, replaced ring and pinion, yoke, bearings and seals.truck has burned 1/2 qt of oil per 1000 miles since new.*ml

Engine blew a rod, causing engine to rattle.

Consumer states while driving at highway speed the engine will shut down causing lost of power steering. Please provide any additional information. Ph

Oil changes were done every 3000-5000 miles. The third and fourth piston rods were worn down and then broke. ******dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****7757169

No summary listed for above vehicle.

At approx. 7500mi. Problems began with brakes and vibrations. These problems still occur along with severe and dangerous engine stalls at any speed. After contacting diamler chrysler i am shocked to find that hazard for my family and any innocent bystanders. It would just be nice if $42,000 could buy something that runs and stops with out risk of major injury or possible death..

Engine failed.nlm

I bought the dodge june 1998, from the first month i have had problems.i had both front side windows fall down, wiper blade linkage breaks, engine surges, door lights won't come on, the air conditioning blower/motor shorted out, and the interior lights/tv/vcp/cd player will shut off at times. Everything except the interior equipment has been corrected, they still short out. The problem with electrical shorts has expanded. On the way home from vacation just outside of st. Louis on interstate 44, we were passing a diesel truck going about 70 mph with another diesel truck following us when the engine shuts off. Lucky for us the truck behind us was paying attention. The truck came within inches of hitting us, if it did my whole family could have been killed. My son managed to pull the van over to the side of the road. We had aaa tow the van to a dodge dealer in bourbon, mo. The next day the machanic found the problem. The asd 20amp fuse blew, the asd fuse is located uder the hood in the power distribution center. The asd fuse handles engine controls/fuel pump. The dealership in burbon could not find the problem, but he did give us extra fuses to get us home. We had to stop at walmarks to buy extra fuses. On the way home the asd fuse blew out 4 times. When we got back home, i took the van back to the dealer where i bought it for repair, cumberland valley motors, they answered with their stock quote, unable to duplicate at this time. I don't know if the asd fuse blew out due to engine heat, bad wiring, or if the interior control panel which handles the interior lights/tv/vcp has a short in it. The vehicle is dangerous to drive and if i have this problem, then their might be other dodge vans with the same problem. How many accidents happened already or will happen?

Vehicle continually shudders at speeds between 45-50 mph, happens constantly

"as far as i am concerned the truck is a piece of junk, the truck is currently in service for 4 days so far this week for all the above problems(this is the reason i do not have the vin number), on top of the already accumulated 25-30 days of service. The chrysler corporation has been notified, as well as my state's attorney generals office, oh and by the way i need 4 new tires as well, after only 25,000 miles."no safety defect listed within summary.

While traveling at 70 mph, the engine spun a rod and threw a bearing, leaving vehicle inoperable.

Engine knocks at start-up for about 2-3 seconds.oil pressure gauge is not as high as when first bought.has been to the dealer twice for this problem, but they say they cannot duplicate it.service manager has verified the knocking, but chrysler doesn't want to persue it.seems that chrysler was really quick to take my money when it was bought, but now that it has a problem they don't want to know anything about it.situation has been sent to chrysler's 3rd party arbitration company to have a hearing to decide what they will be forced to do to correct the problem.chrysler has been very disappointing in there "customer service"or lack of it, to the customer...

Engine failure resulted in vehicle fire. *mjs

Engine idle speed set to factory specs (750-850 rpm)causes vehicle to accelerate to approx 25mph without any pressure on accelerator (automatic transmission). This also causes more difficult braking and increased brake wear.

While driving the vehicle will stall, and while in reverse position the vehicle will also stall.also,there is a transmission leak which may cause a fire.dealer replaced parts of the transmission.dealer cannot determine problem.

Engine makes noise.

Oil pump failure, engine destroyed.dt

1.the passenger side mirror glass on this vehicle, ram 2500 series, has cracked due to the extreme cold conditions in my location.presents an even more and distorted view of the roadway.the product is inferior glass.2.excessive pinging in the 5.9l engine.the manual states that you can use an 87 octane rated fuel in this engine.if you do even without a "load" in the vehicle the engine will constantly "ping."using a higher octane rating the pinging noise is still noticeable.also this engine from the start uses approximately 1/2 - 3/4 of a quart of oil between oil changes.very bad for a new product.3.the same door on the 2500 series (quad cab) ram truck is used on the type of truck that i own, the extended or club cab.however, where there is weatherstripping on the quad cab door on the lower running board sides, (both doors) there is absolutely no stripping on the extended cab doors (club cab).this allows for the infiltration of dirt and water to actually come up and sit or reside on the top plate.this makes for a bad situation not only for the cleanliness of the truck on those panels but for corrosive qualities as well.

Original complaint was severe engine pinging, hesitation going uphills between 40-45 mph and check engine light lit.dealer replaced idle air control motor and replaced a spark plug.problem cleared for approximately 10,000 miles, then returned.goodyear dealer replaced ignition wires and spark plugs at 50,000 according to a dodge tsb.problem still persists.goodyear advised that dodge has a tsb for this problem and is aware of the problem.i would like to know what action i can take.

The defect is in the alignment of the truck and the engine. With the alignment set to manufacturer's specifications the truck still pulls out of the driving lane. Within ten seconds the truck will completely vacate the lane. The second problem is the engine has a "stumble" or miss-fire at idle. Again the manufactures states the engine is also within guidelines. The dealer claims there is an industry standard for alignment, but provides no written documentation on what the standards are or what the manufacturer's acceptable tolerances are specifically. Do you have anything which indicates alignment standards and engine timing.

My name is john simonelli and i purchased a dodge ram truck.i had many problems with it like brakes,air, fuel problems, raidiator, and worse of all stalling on left turns.i reported to bell dodge of my truck stalling on left turns.they looked at it once and said the truck was ok.after that i took the truck down to the dealer each time reporting of incident.all they did was document the problem and send me away.they would not even make an attempt to solve the problem despite the danger the truck was to me and others.to prove my case i had to push them to hook up a co-pilot for readings.the computer would show the vehicle died for some unknown reason.however the co-pilot would not tell them how to fix problem so their for the problem did not excist.then i had to drive around with a cam-corder to record problem.after doing so i was forced to sell vehicle because they did not know how to fix problem and would not give me a new truck.i have too much to say so if you have any questions please call me.i took a 14,500 dollar loss on my vehicle, someone else is driving this unsafe vehicle, and finaly both bell dodge and dalmler chrysler ignored my lawyer which cost me an additional 2,600.

The truck when bought,the sticker in the window read that it was rated to run on 87 octain,but when i run this feul,it pings and knocks and a loss of power while climing a hill.the onlly thing it will run on is hightest."this will cause a wreck."the service manager at becks told me that it is an on going problem,that they are tring to fix.

Consumer keeps experiencing unknown engine failure. Been in/out of dealer shop more then three times. Dealer unable to resolve problem.

Fan belts failed.

Right exhaust manafold bolts stripped, causing exhaust leak and inside of catletic converter loose and causing extream rattle, worse at idle in gear.

Transmission shifts late on certain occasions jumping into gear, diagnostics' were performed by dealership resulting in a negative result, the truck still persist's with the problem usually at speeds' 35 mph and under. The truck has pulled right upon delivery, dealership replaced calipers stating that the o.e.m. Calipers were seized from factory, three days later the problem was back, dealership performed alignment, problem still persisted and continues to do so. The reason i put power steering down under the comments section is because of my belief that the problem resides in the steering gear-box, which has not been checked. The back-up lights did not work upon delivery but were fixed immediately and have been fine ever-since. The drver-side window molding leaks and on certain days causes fogging of the window resulting in a loss of vision and an unsafe driving condition. O.e.m. Jackstand is also to short to replace tire on independent front suspension.

The transmission failed due to lack of lubrication.just go to jasper.com.they say that 1995 to 2001 dodge trucktransmissions have a high rate of failure due to lack of lubrication.seems that dodge put to low a volume pump in all these transmissions. Local transmission rebuilders tell me that you can not let the truck idle because the tranny gets no lubrication at low rpm's.so during the winter while you are waiting for the windsheild to clear off to drive in the northeast where it snows.you are damaging your tranny.the tranny over heat light never came on just the service engine light.dodge says there is nothing wrong. I have a list of other people who have had dodge tranny problems.one is my brother-in-law.

Please refer to service bulletin 971017182997, nhtsa sb054220.this is what i am experiencing on my truck.i have no complaints with the dealer they did all they could.the torque converter locks up between 40 and 53 mph.i wanted them to fix it.they said all of the dodge rampickups do this.the whole truck starts to shake between 40 and 53 and its due to the gear setting in the tranny and the engine rpm.this was designed by dodge for fuel effeciency but causes the truck to shake due to torque converter lock-up.i was satisified that it wasn't just a problem with my truck when the dodge dealer let me pick out a new dodge on his lot with the same size engine and drive train, it had 6 miles on it (brand new 99').when i drove the new truck it was considerably worst than mine and started to shake between 30 and about 53 but it shook more than my truck thru the entire range.i am concerned that this shaking due to torque converter lockup won't eventually shorten the life of the torque converter and possibly the transmission.i found your service on the internet, so i am giving it a try. Thank you

The bolt that holds fifth gear in place dislodged and the gear came off the shaft.vehicle was still drivable in the other four gears but fifth gear was inoperable.manufacturer and the dealer have been notified.

Transmission failure.

Transmission overheated ,overdrive automatically disengaged. The odor of burned transmission oil was evident.this was a new transmission and was replaced with a rebuilt transmission by the dealer at $50 deductible. The rebuilt will only be warranted for the first 12 months or 12000 miles.i suspect the transmission is either undercooled or a failure to use the proper atf fluid caused this.vehicle is under service contract and is serviced for all fluid changes by the dealer.

The rpms increased, and the gears popped on the vehicle ontheir own. Took vehicle to repair shop for check up,and results showed that a new transmission needed to be replaced.

Transmision failed with no warning, i.e. Slipping.

The vehicle will not go into reverse and back up, but will go forward.consumer had taken the vehicle to dealer when it was first purchased, due to a vibrating noise.at 36041 miles, the overdrive unit failed which had taken out the reverse.a new transmission was installed.this corrected the vibration noise which turned out to be coming from a broken snap ring that held the overdrive unit.*scc

We purchased a 1998 dodge conversion van as our family vehicle. On sept 21,2000 my wife loaded our children, ages 7,6, & 2, into the vehicle. She then went & locked the house door. Our 2 year old got out of her car seat, went to the front of the van, & pulled down on the gear shift pulling it into gear. The vehicle rolled over a 3 foot wall, down a steep hill, through a 2 foot ditch, and then struck a telephone pole. Thank goodness no one was seriously injured, but this condition could have tragic. I own an insurance agency so i started to check around to see if this was a defect that the vehicle could be put into gear without first applying the brake. What i found out was shocking, i was informed by the dodge dealer that this safety feature was an option on this vehicle, which i was not informed of at time of purchase , this is ludicrous!!! in my research i have yet to find a private passenger vehicle that is not equipped with this safety feature and to declare it an option on a family use vehicle is irresponsible. Thank goodness the lord was looking over my family that day, but what about the next family. Please look into this situation, so no family has to needlessly endure a tragedy.

Consumer was on the on ramp ,and went to yield for oncoming traffic, touched brakes and it went to thefloor. Consumer had to coast to the side and get vehicle towed.

Anti-lock brake malfunctioned.yh

The vehicle makes right turns upon braking, at any speed. Of course the faster the speed the more dangerous the problem, esp. If you are also making a right turn or there are any imperfections in the road such as dirt, gravel, bumps, or holes, at which this point the steering wheel jerks, sometimes completly from your hand, whih was experienced buy the tech. Dodge asked to test drive w/ me. I was told chrysler is aware of the problem but is unable , ( does not know how ) to fix the problem, they will put my name on a list and when they figure out how to fix it and to engine noise they will call me. I asked them to put in writing my truck was safe to drive ( knowing it isn't) they refused but again said chrysler is aware. When i bought the truck we were aware of this problem, but they assured me they would fix it 5 times in the shop now they tell me they can't, and will not talk the truck back, i'm out 26,000.00$ and i need a truck for my business. I just want my truck fixed or replaced, or them to purchase it back so that i may purchase yet another truck.

I returned several times to have my truck repaired yet they failed to repair the brakes to date. I had to replace the tires due to the several panic stops they made while servicing my truck. They kept guessing what could be wrong and they never corrected the problem. The truck still pulls to the right and they clame they don't have a fix for the problem. I have had several near miss situations where there could be an accident. I live in the mountains where the roads are covered with black ice in the winter and i have no doubt that sometime this winter i will hit the gard rail while applying my brakes. Ive also had other panic stops where the truck has ended up in the right lane out of control and ive ended up on the shoulder of the highway under a hard brake. I was in the truck while the dealer service personel test drove the truck and we ended up off the road on the shoulder. I was told that my truck had a dangerous problem and they can't fix it. That same trip to the dealer, the service manager told me to just park it and get a lawyer, "we can't fix your truck". Ive also been told to park it in a bad part of town with the keys in it and hope that it will be gone in the morning.it still pulls. As for the fuel sender, ive had them replaced so many times its hard to say how many. They have lasted as little as 1 week and as long as 4 months. One went out the morning we were headed to l. A. On vacation, 4 days after they had just replaced it, and the service personel told me it would be 10 days before they could look into the problem, so i should just "turn up the stereo" so i don't hear the warning ding, ding. It was hell driving the 1500 miles with the noise of the low fuel ding and my kids in the back seat. I have tried the customer arbitration board, yet they don't seem to think i have a bad enough problem. I was rejected. I now own a truck which i have over $38,000 invested and am afraid to drive for fear of an accident.

The vehicle has only abs on the rear brakes,when the brakes are applied the vehicle skids.as a result,2 collisions have occurred. Dealer says there is no problem.

The brakes pull to the right when applied creating a very dangerous driving hazzard. The truck has been to three different dodge dealers in a total of seven (7) times in an attempt to obtain a satisfactory repair. The dealers have done steering alignment and replace brake parts on many occausions. However, the problem is a factory design deficiency which is not repairable at the dealer level. Dodge should be forced to redesign the front brake - steering system to correct this problem in a nationwide recall. This problem has become a joke in the automotive industry. The dot should proceed to force dodge to redesign the brake system and correct the problem. This brake pull problem is a serious driving hazzard which causes the vehicle to steer unexpectantly into other traffic lanes when the brakes are applied. The dealers admit that they cannot make a satisfactory repair given the existing parts available from the factory. The other dealers have been: valley boulder dodge, 2100 30th street boulder, co 80301, tel: 303-381-1184 and prestige dodge, 200 alpine street, longmont, co 80501, tel: 303-651-3000. The colorado "lemon law" is not effective since the amount given is trade is less that normal trade-in negotiationed amounts. The dot should proceed to recall all dodge 1998 ram pickups. Sincerely, kent r. Rieske, 5086 cottonwood drive, boulder, co 80301. Tel: 303-530-1551.

The front brakes on this truck failed to work evenly.a sever pull to the left, resulting in a near jack knife situation and collision with on coming traffic.i immediately took the truck into the dealer.they have been unsuccessful in repairing it and state that only 5% of the trucks in this model do that, therefore dodge will not recall and the warranty will not cover the repairs.dodges answer is to "live with it".this problem is significant and a definite safety hazard.i request a representative contact me immediately about this situation.

Brake pull causing unsafe condition, especially in wet conditions

Brake pads and rotors have failed for the second time. Current mileage is approximately 14000.

After only 40,000 miles new brake pad discs and rotors had to be replaced due to rust.

The truck has a severe brake pull to the right, which makes the vehicle difficult to control.the brake pull occurs at any speed, but it is most prominent at highway speeds and therefore presents a safety hazard.the vehicle was taken in for service four times in nine months on this issue.it is obvious that chrysler is not interested in fixing the problem in an expedient manner.

The brake cylinders had been leaking and were replaced by the dealer in 2000. Then again in december of 2001 we had brake3 trouble and the calipers and cylinders has brakes began to squeak. We had just had everything done less than 6 months ago. We assumed that at the worst the pads needed changing. We took it in the next day. We were informed that it was not the warning system but that the calipers were frozen and had worn out so quickly that the back cyliders were shot too. We were told that our brakes could have gone out completely at any moment there wasn't any warning. Thankfull that we did not have an accident we spent the $800.00 to fix everything. The calipers, roters, cylinders, pads, everything. This is the kicker that next weekend five days later we were comming home from out of town and going down a large hill they began to smoke. And we tried to pull over. We had no brakes!!! thank goodness there was no one in font of us. We shifted intoa lower gear and gradually came to a stop at the bottom of the hill. I am stll waiting to see what the prob. Is now. I had called dodge to see if there was any sort of prob. Or recall with the break system before and they said no. They would fix it but charge us to do so. I did some research and have found that there is so many complaints about the same problems. Our lives have been in jepordy twice and we have been lucky. It is obvious there is a prob. Looking at the complaints of the same nature why are they not doing anything. Do people have to die first. We have tried in vain to fix our truck to work properly with no luck. I only wish we could afford to by another truck. I am afraid that mine and my family's lives are in jepordy. When will dodge step up to the plate and fix this problem?

When applying the brakes vehicle pulls to the right. Dealer replaced front brakes, and problem still exists.

Excessive wear of rotors/pads, and calipers. Problem commenced at 6,270 miles, again at 21,000 miles,and reoccurredat 33,000 miles.dealer informed consumer that they were done with repaires.*ml

The brakes pull left or right.most likely due to weak calipers.the experts i've talked to indicate my one ton 7000 lb truck has the same single piston calipers a little isuzu rodeo or mitsubishi has.it's horrifying to think this big truck has no more brakes than a 2000 lb little car.the $2000 'damage' is a repair estimate for new oem parts -- which the dealer has replaed.it still pulls.this is a safety issue.sometimes it pulls hard enough to cause a lane change.have had near miss of head-on collision.

Vehicle experienced total brake failure, the consumer found that the calipers are made of plastic and feels the failure was caused because a minor amount of heat damaged the plastic pistons, which didn't allow them to slide properly in their cylinders, this didn't allow the pads to retract from the disc brake, causing additional heat build up.

I am experiencing a brake pull problem.this is an ongoung problem and dodge technical representatives have acknowledged a problem with the front brake calipers. They have not offered a solution yet.you will receive a number of similar reports over the next few days from folks with the same problem.this is a safety issue that affects the truck and occupants and possibly other folks on the road.i have already run off the highway when this brake pull problem occurred.please feel free to contact me for additional information. I amm looking forward to receiving your help with this matter.

Experiencing ongoing problem with front brake pads wearing out prematurely. Vehicle had four sets of brake pads within 30,000 mile of wear. Dealer notified .

Right front inside brake pad locked against the disc causing continuous wear.i was informed by the service manager that the inside pads do not have "squealers" as do the outside pads so there was no advance indication of impending failure.daimler/chrysler has informed me they would have to decline my request for consideration in this matter because the vehicle had just exceeded the time/mileage limitations of the manufacturer's warranty at the time ($357.78) expense was incurred.

I have not had an accident as a result of this yet. The steering wheel makes alot of noise when you turn it either direction. Had dodge check it out. They said that they have replaced alot of steering columns because of this, but not sure what causes it. Said that most have this problem with lower mileage. Warranty cover the steering column. Seems my warranty is up, they tell me to try and get use to the noise. Said that the noise will get 5 times worse, but didn't think it was a safety issue. It they don't really know what causes it, how can they be sure it isn't a safety issue. If this is a recurring problem, then it is obviously a factory defect

At 58,000 miles, the steering column in my dodge ram 1500 pick up needs to be replaced. There is a noise when the wheel is turned in either direction. I was told by the dealer that the entire steering column needs to be replaced. I wrote a letter to chrysler about the problem because my extended service contract does not cover the steering column. The letter was written on april 5th of this year and i just called chrysler to inquire about an answer and was told my request for "good faith"assistance has been denied. I do not use this vehicle for commercial or off road driving and do not feel the steering column should fail with only 58,000 miles of normal driving. The manufacturer wants nothing to do with the repair other than take my $400-$500 for the repair. I have searched your database and have found no other issues similar to mine with the year and model of my truck. I am also receiving no assistance from the dealer. According to the service manager at the dealer this is not a safety issue and i do not need to worry about any failure.

Vehicle pulls hard to the right when braking.the dealer and a local repair shop claims it is due to a worn front track bar, failing u-joints, and sway bar links.these parts should not be wearing out at this low of mileage.i am concerned with the upcoming winter driving conditions that loss of control is possible due to the poor handling with the defective parts.

I was driving 75 mph and the truck had a slight vibration i checked tire pressure when we stopped and visually inspected the tires. After we filled with gas the vibration was no longer there. After our second stop the vibration returned and then the tread separated with a violent crash destroying the entire side of the truck and causing the truck to almost loose control and shake violently. I understand that a large tire co like pirelli has to watch out for their best interest however they should put the customers well being at the top. I would appreciate any information you have about other pirelli tire separations that have been filed. Thank you. (dot number: chw8gp4419tiresize: 265 75r16c)
