ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TIPM ISSUES MULTIPLE TIMES REPLACED WIPERS,LIGHTS, HORN ALL GO CRAZY ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TRUCK HAS ENGAGED STARTER AND ENGINE STARTED WITH NO KEY IN IGNITION. A REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS THE TRUCK IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND IF LEFT IN GEAR IT TAKES OFF. I'VE OWNED THE TRUCK APPROX 5 YEARS WITH TIPM REPLACED AT LEAST 5 TIMES DEALER HAS NO ANSWERS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE TRUCK WHEN THIS STARTS IS TO DISCONNECT BATTERIES. HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. ALWAYS WONDERING WHERE IS A SAFE PLACE TO PARK IT AND IF THE NEXT TIME WILL BE THE TIME IT BURNS TO THE GROUND.

DASHBOARD OF MY RAM 1500 2002 HAS BEEN BREAKING INTO PIECES IN THE FIRST 3 YEARS. STARTED SLOW BUT EVENTUALLY IT'S EVERYWHERE. I HAVE ASKED AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT ON MANY OCCASIONS THAT THEY ARE AWARE BUT DON'T OFFER A SOLUTION OR EVEN A GOOD REPLACEMENT. ONLY TO BUY A NEW TRUCK MADE WITH A BETTER DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT THEY SELL IS ONLY $900.00 BUT MADE WITH THE SAME MATERIALS. WILL BE BACK AT THE SAME PLACE WITH PIECES OF DASHBOARDS HITTING OUR EYES,MOUTH OR FACE. IT IS A DANGER TO VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AND A SHAME THAT A COMPANY CAN BE ALLOWED TO USE SUCH LOW GRADE MATERIAL THAT IS SOLD TO HARD WORKING INDIVIDUALS. I CAN ACCEPT IF A FEW DASHBOARDS ENDED THE SAME WAY BUT I'VE HEARD OF TOO MANY BEING THE SAME AND THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE HAVING SOMEONE GO BLIND OR DIE IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE. EXPERIENCE WHEN HITTING SMALL/MINOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR RAILROAD TRACKS. VIOLENT SHAKING CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TRY TO COME TO A STOP. SHAKING IS SO VIOLENT THAT THE DRIVER IS BOUNCED AROUND IN THE SEAT, MOMENTARILY AIRBORNE AND ITESM IN THE TRUCK FLY AROUND. LAWSUIT WAS ISSUSED ON 2004 AND NEWER MODELS BUT AFFECTS OLDER MODELS AS WELL. WE NOW HAVE PAID $900 IN PARTS TO FIX THE "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT HAD WE KNOWN WAS AN ISSUE, WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK. COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT IS OUR DAILY DRIVER AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PARK IT AND PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO REPLACE IT WITH. CANNOT SELL IN CURRENTY CONDITION HAVING A "DEATH WOBBLE". NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PURCHASED PARTS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING AT ANY TIME ANY CONDITIONS TURNING OR STRAIT ROADS THE ECT LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE STEERING AND BRAKES INCLUDED. THE RPMS WILL JUMP UP HIGH THEN DROP SO LOW THE TRUCK WILL DIE OR IDLE REALLY ROUGH. RAMEYS CAN'T FIX IT LOCAL SERVICE STATIONS CAN'T FIX I'VE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BC OF THIS I'VE HAD A NEW THROTTLE BODY INSTALLED NO FIX 150$ THEN A NEW BELL CRANK ASSEMBLY 400$ STILL NO FIX I'VE SEARCHED AND CALLED EVERYONE WHO MIGHT HAVE AN IDEA DODGE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A RARE THING FROM WHAT I SEE ONLINE.
