STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT, BUT I AM CONCERNED WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 VAN CONVERSION. MY CONCERN IS THAT, WITH THE CON VERSIONS WITH LARGE BAY WINDOWS. I FEEL THAT THE PASSENGERS HAVE NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER WITH SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENTS. COULD YOUR ORGANIZATION INVESTIGATE THESE BEFORE REPORTS OF FATALITIES START COMING IN.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
MY COMPLAINT CONCERNS MY VEHICLE AND SEVERAL THOUSAND OTHERS THAT BELONG TO MEMBERS OF THE TURBO DIESEL REGISTER. THE REASON IM WRITING IS IN HOPES THAT WE CAN GET A SAFETY ISSUE ADDRESSED, AND CORRECTED ONCE AND FOR ALL. THERE HAS BEEN A REPEATED TREND OVER SEVERAL YEARS NOW CONCERNING THE LIFT PUMP (FUEL TRANSFER PUMP) UTILIZED IN THE 2500/3500 CUMMINS DIESEL APPLICATION. I AM A MEMBER OF THE FAILED LIFT PUMP CLUB AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS LIFT PUMP FAILURE ON MY 2000 3500 DODGE CTD. THIS FAILURE CAUSES THE TRUCK TO LOOSE POWER AND SOMETIMES DIE. THIS CAN BE LIFE THREATENING IF THE TRUCK OWNER IS ON THE HIGHWAY TOWING A LOADED TRAILER. I HOW OWN A 2002 3500 CTD AND WOULD LIKE THIS DESIGN PROBLEM CORRECTED. I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS CONCERN, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 1998.5 - 2002, 24 VALVE CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL OWNERS THAT ARE CONCERNED AND HAVE COMPLAINED TO DODGE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS CAN BE DOCUMENTED BY GOING TO THE TURBO DIESEL REGISTER ON THE WEB. HTTP://WWW.TURBODIESELREGISTER.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?S=&THREADID=75368&PERPAGE=15&PAGENUMBER=2. *NLM

STRUCTURE
MY DASH BOARD FOR NO REASON STARTED CRACKING WHILE MY TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOBODY WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS ESCALATED TO THE POINT OF PARTS OF MY DASH BOARD IS ACTUALLY FALLING OUT. IT IS CRACKED OVER THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD AND IS STARTING TO SPREAD FUTHER. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM ISN'T GOING TO STOP UNTIL MY DASH BOARD IS FALLING IN MY LAP. THE WAY I LOOK AT IT IS, A 2000 MODEL VEHICLE THAT I PAID OVER $20,000 FOR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM IN ONLY 3 YEARS! SOMEONE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULDN'T BE ME! *AK
