EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:ACCESSORY SCISSOR/SCREW/BOTTLE JACK/LIFT
THE JACK THAT IS SHIPPED WITH THE DODGE RAM 1500 IS WAY TOO SMALL TO HANDLE THE PARGE TRUCK. I HAD TO CHANGE A TIRE TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE VEHICLE FELL OFF OF THE JACK TWICE. THE JACK IS A SMALL CYLINDER TYPE, WITH A SMALL FOOTPRINT. WHILE JACKING THE REAR WHEEL ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE USER MANUAL, THE JACK SLIPS EASILY BECAUSE A) IT HAS A SMALL FOOTPRINT THAT REMAINS IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND, AND B) THE EXTENTIONS USED TO TURN THE CRANKING MECHANISM ON THE JACK ARE WOBBLY, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE JACK TO MOVE WHILE RAISING AND LOWERING. I RESEARCHED THIS WITH SEVERAL OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS, EACH WHO HAVE PURCHASED SEPARATE HEAVY DUTY JACKS TO ALLOCATE FOR THE INSUFFICIENT STANDARD JACK THAT SHIPS WITH THE VEHICLE. I CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER TODAY ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I HAD MY BRAKES OVERHAULED AND HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS EXCHANGED BECAUSE OF A DEFECT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW ABOUT BUT FAILED TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS. THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE MACHINED TO SUCH CLOSE TOLORANCES, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE CHANGED AT THE FIRST REPAIRS. I HAVE TALKED TO SERVICE PEOPLE WHOM HAVE HAD THEM CHANGED AT LESS THAN 30 K MILES. I FEEL AN RECALL SHOULD BE MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THE EXTRA MONEY REFUNDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.*AK
