SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
WHILE TRAVELLING AT AN APPROXIMATE SPEED OF 45/50, I HAD REASON TO RAPIDLY DECREASE FORWARD AND APPLY MORE THAN NORMAL BRAKE ACTION TO AVERT ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT HAD OVERRUN A STOP SIGN. MY WIFE, WHO WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND PROPERLY BELTED, WAS THRUST FORWARD TO A POINT WHERE HER RIGHT SHOULDER MADE CONTACT WITH THE DASHOARD AND HER HEAD MADE LIGHT CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD. SHE WAS SHAKEN BUT HAD NO NOTICEABLE INJURY AT THAT TIME.WE DROVE HOME, AND DURING THAT 7 MILE TRIP WE DECIDED TO RECHECK THE BELT ACTION. ON SEVERAL INSTANCES WE ACCELERATED TO 45/50 AND COMMENCED HARD BRAKING ACTION TO CHECK WHETHER WE COULD DUPLICATE THE PREVIOUS SEAT BELT FAILURE. OF THE TIMES THAT WE PERFORMED THIS ACTION, THE SEAT BELTS FAILED OVER HALF THE TIME. THIS TIME I REALIZED THAT THE DRIVERS BELT WAS ALSO FAILING.DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE. NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. TRANSMISSION GOVENOR REPLACED AT A COST OF $450 (INCLUDED A TRANSMISSION SERVICE WHICH I DIDN'T AUTHORIZE BUT ASSUMED WAS DONE AS PART OF THE REPAIR). CALLED CHRYSLER REGARDING WHAT I DEEMED AN INAPPROPRIATE FAILURE AND RECIEVED A REFUND FOR PARTS & LABOR TO REPLACE GOVENOR ONLY. WAS NOT TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP OF THE RECALL (#722) ON THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT QUICK CONNECT. WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL BY CHRYSLER WHEN THEY CALLED ME TO TELL MY CHECK WAS BEING MAILED. HAVE SINCE EXPERIENCE ONE EPISODE OF WEIRD TRANSMISSION NOISES WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO REVERSE (BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY). HAVE SINCE RESEARCED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND IT ENDEMIC TO 97 DODGE RAMS. WAITING ANY DAY NOW FOR TOTAL TRAMSMISSION FAILURE. I AGREE WITH THOSE OF YOU WHO RELATE TO THIS VEHICLE AS A LEMON -- WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY ANOTHER AMERICAN MADE VEHCILE UNTIL THEY BEGIN CONCERNING THEMSELVES WITH QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. NLM
