LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
AFTER CHECKING MY BATTERY CONNECTIONS AND FLUID LEVELS I CLOSED MY HOOD AS NORMAL AND ABOUT 24 HOURS LATER I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND THE HOOD LATCHES FAILED AND THE HOOD OPENED UP WITH A HEAVY GUST OF WIND. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30-40 MILES PER HOUR AND HAD TO MAKE A BLIND STOP ON THE ROAD. THIS ROAD WAS RARELY TRAVELED AND FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT. MY WIFE AND MY SON WERE WITH ME. THE EVENT BENT MY HOOD BACK TO THE WINDSHIELD AND OVER EXTENDED THE HOOD HINGES. DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, HINGES AND MATING AREAS OF THE TRUCK. *JB

THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 17,000 MILES ON IT (AS OF JUNE 2007), THE TRUCK IS HARDLY EVER DRIVEN AND IS KEPT IN A GARAGE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA.

I PURCHASED A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500, USED, IN 2005, WITH APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES. THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, LOCATED AT THE BASE OF THE FRONT WINDOW. THE CRACKS HAVE BEEN GROWING STEADILY. NOW THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED WITH MULTIPLE CRACKS, FROM THE BASE OF THE WINDOW TO THE TRIM SURROUNDING THE GAUGES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CRACKS WILL CONTINUE AND CAUSE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. ADDITIONALLY, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DASH WILL START TO BREAK OR FALL INTO THE WIRING UNDER THE DASH, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE AND OR FATALITIES DUE TO A FIRE OR SOMETHING. I ONLY HAVE 56,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE! *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
LOSS OF POWER WHILE ENTERING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, CAUSING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTIONS TO PREVENT COLLISIONS. FAILURE OF TRANSFER PUMP CAUSING FAILURE OF INJECTION PUMP ON NUMBEROUS OCCASIONS, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AT THE TIME OF THE LAST REPAIR THEIR WAS NO REPLACEMENT FOR TRANSFER PUMP AVAILABLE, SO AN AFTER MARKET ELECTRIC PUMP WITH PROPER FLOW RATE AMD PRESSURE WAS INSTALLED AND HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR OVER 1 YEAR. THE INJECTION PUMP STILL FLAGS AS BAD AND HAS LOSS OF POWER UNTIL ENGINE IS AT FULL RUNNING TEMPERTURE AND WILL EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500, THE DASH IS LITERALLY CRUMBLING DAILY. I HAVE 1 VERY LARGE HOLE & LARGE CRACKS ALL OVER. THE DASH HAD GOTTEN WORSE EVERY WEEK. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR THIS AS IT IS NOT REPAIRABLE UNLESS THE COMPLETE DASH IS REPLACED. THE HOLE IN THE DASH REFLECTS A GLARE AS ITS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. *TR

NUMEROUS CRACKS AND CHIPS ON THE DASH OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. I RECENTLY WATCH A NEWS CLIP ON THIS ISSUE WHERE A LADY HAD HER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORKING IMPROPERLY AND HER LIGHTS WENT OUT WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE REPORT ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DASH BEING OPEN TO THE HEAT OF THE SUN OR A PLASTIC PIECE MAY HAVE INTERRUPTED THE WIRING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE DODGE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THIS FOR CUSTOMERS AT LITTLE OR NO COST. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE DASH. THE NEWS CHANNEL WAS LOCAL NEWS 6 OUT OF ORLANDO, FL. *JB UPDATED 01-14-08. *KB UPDATED 12/12/07
