ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
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. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SPEED CONTROL ADDS AN ADDITIONAL 7 TO 12 MPH WHEN IT IS SET. IF SET AT 65 IT WILL GO TO 72 TO 77 BEFORE STOPPING. IT STAYS AT 72 TO 77 MPH FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES AND THEN WILL DROP BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SETTING OF 65. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IS COMMON IN ALL '98 AND '99 DODGE RAMS. DODGE MUST DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS SITUATION. *AK
