POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
LOSS OF FIFTH GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) WHILE GOING UP A MOUNTAIN ON INTERSTATE 25 IN WYOMING RESULTING IN RAPID DECELERATION OF VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS RECOGNIZED BY CHRYSLER IN 1994 AND SERVICE BULLITENS WHERE ISSUED TO DEALERS. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS OF THIS SAME MODEL AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED AT VARIOUS MILEAGES. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT DUE TO "OUT OF WARRANTY" STATUS, THE REPAIR WOULD BE PERFORMED NO QUESTIONS ASKED IF WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD.

STEERING
STEERING IS SO BAD, I'M AFRAID WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 DODGE RAM 2W TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING IT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE CONTROL AND RUN INTO ANOTHER CAR. IT IS A UNSAFE TRUCK TO DRIVE, AND I CAN NOT GET THE DEALER I PURCHASED FROM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY WILL NOT EVEN SPEAK WITH ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. I HAVE LEFT VOICE MAIL MESSAGE FOR SEVERAL MANAGERS AND TO DATE HAVE NOT RECEIVE A CALL BACK.

SEATS, STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION), VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
SEAT BECOMES A PROBLEM WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GETS COLDER. COOL MORNINGS WILL CAUSE THE SEATS TO RISE 3 INCHES CAUSING DRIVER OR PASSENGER NOT TO SIT CORRECTLY AND BUCKLE SEAT BELT. THIS ALSO CAUSES DRIVER TO READJUST MIRROR AS TEMPERATURES RISE AND CUSHION LOWERS. AS THESE CHANGES OCCUR DRIVER MUST ADJUST SEAT FORWARD AND BACK MAKING USE OF MIRRORS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT NUMEROUS CORRECTIONS DAILY.ALSO, VEHICLE WANDERS ON HIGHWAY, DRIVER MUST CONTINUOUSLY MOVE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP VEHICLE BETWEEN LINES ON CONSUMER'S SIDE OF THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, DETECTED CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM STEERING BOX. *AK

STEERING
2001 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB 4X4. STEERING WANDERS EXCESSIVELY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT TRACK LINE ON THE ROAD. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED SOME TIE RODS BUT SEEMS TO HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON THE WANDERING. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS INABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 18,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED.

STEERING
I PURCHASED A USED 2000 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 A FEW WEEKS AGO. SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP IT HAS BECOME EXTREMELY CLEAR TO ME THAT THE STEERING QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY POOR. THE TRUCK WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND REQUIRES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF CORRECTIONS. I HAVE HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON AND AN ALIGNMENT DONE. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE LET OTHERS TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THEY ALL ASK WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE STEERING.
