EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 1995 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS THE SAME FAULTY SWITCH THAT THE 3500 MODEL HAS, BUT DODGE WILL NOT COVER IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT YET FORCED THEM TO. THIS FAULTY SWITCH CAUSES THE HEAD LIGHTS TO GO OUT WITH OUT NOTICE FOR GOOD OR IT WILL JUST ALLOW THEM TO FLICKER ON AND OFF.. IT ALSO HAS THE POSSIBILITY TO MELT DOWN AND CAUSE A FIRE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END OF MY DODGE RAM 2500, MOST RECENTLY AFTER REPLACING THE STEERING KNUCKLES, TIE RODS IN THE STABILIZER BAR, BUSHINGS IN THE STABILIZER ARMS, ALL THE BALL JOINTS, AND TRACK ARM, AND CONSTANTLY BALANCING TIRES IT HAS DEVELOPED WHAT ALL THE BLOGS ARE CALLING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I'M GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF REPLACING EVERYTHING IN THE FRONT END OF THIS TRUCK WITH NO DECENT FIXES AVAILABLE ON THE PART OF DODGE. THIS SHAKE AND WOBBLE IS SO VIOLENT THAT IF THERE WERE ICE OR WATER ON THE ROAD, I AM SURE SOMEONE COULD EASILY BE KILLED AT 70 MPH. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 1995 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS ALL BUT FALLEN COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TRUCK... IT STARTED AS A SMALL CRACK, AND NOW HAS SHARP EDGES, AND ANY TIME I HAVE A PASSENGER I FEEL AS THOUGH IM PUTTING THEIR LIFE IN DANGER IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING... THE DASH HAS A HOLE IN IT ALMOST A FOOT LONG IN IT, AND ALL THE EDGES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP... YOU CAN TELL THE PLASTIC IS DEFECTIVELY FRAGILE... THERE ARE NUMEROUS DODGE OWNERS FROM RAM 1500'S UP TO 3500'S ALL COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DEFIANTLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. THANKS. *TR
