FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
FUEL GUAGE IS BROKEN FOR THE SECOND TIME. FIRST WAS UNDER WARRANTY IN 1999. THE SENDING UNIT WAS REPLACED. NOW IT IS BROKEN AGAIN BUT THE DEALER SAYS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL COST $$$. AFTER SPEAKING WITH OTHER OWNERS AND SOME MECHANICS I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND FEEL IT SOULD BE A RECALL ITEM.

PROBLEMS WITH AC/HEATER WIRING HARNESS. THE BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE AC/HEATER SYSTEM IN THE VAN CONTINUES TO OVERLOAD AND BURN OUT COMPONENTS FOR THIS SYSTEM. THE VAN HAS BEEN PUT INTO REPAIR ON FOUR SEPERATE OCCASIONS. IT HAS NOW ONCE AGAIN BURNED OUT. HERE IS SOME INFORMATION: TURNED IN ON 6/18/99. REPLACED BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. MILEAGE 24010 TURNED IN ON 9/16/99. REPLACED BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR, REPAIRED WIRING HARNESS AND SLEEVE. MILEAGE 26434 TURNED IN ON 12/14/99. REPLACED CONTROL HEAD AND BLOWER SWITCH. MILEAGE 29880. TURNED IN ON 8/15/02. REPLACED BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH. REPLACE BLOWER MOTOR HARNESS WHEN SWITCH FAILED. TURNING IN AGAIN NEXT WEEK FOR REPAIRS. CHRYSLER HEADQUATERS AND THE DEALERSHIP STATE THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE UNDERLING PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED, THEN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD EXISTS WHEN THE WIRING HARNESS OR OTHER PARTS ONCE AGAIN BURN OUT.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
STEERING WANDER ON 2001 2500 SERIES DODGE QUADCAB PICKUP. DUE MOSTLY TO FAULTY TRACK BAR.AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT SPECS ARE TO WIDE A RANGE AND IT CAN BE IN SPEC BUT STILL WANDER ALL OVER ROAD. YOU CAN DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND FOR NO REASON AT ALL THE TRUCK WANDERS INTO THE OTHER LANE. YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY COUNTER STEER BACK AND FORTH TO KEEP TRUCK ON THE ROAD. IT IS DANGEROUS NUMEROUS TIMES IVE ENDED UP IN DIFFERENT LANES AND OFF ONTO THE BURM OF TH ROAD. THE DEALER FORRER DODGE TOLD ME THAT THEIR REPLACING TRACK BARS ALL THE TIME AND HAVE EVEN REPLACED TRACK BARS ON TRUCKS THAT THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED IN FROM FACTORY. THEIRS EVEN A CUSTOM COMPANY THAT MAKES A CUSTOM TRACK BAR BECAUSE THE DODGE ONE IS DEFECTIVE.AND THEIRS OTHER COMPANIES THAT REBUILD THE DODGE ONES TO BE STRONGER SO YOU CAN ELIMINATE THE WANDER. YOU KNOW THEIRS A PROBLEM WHEN THEIRS COMPANIES THAT MAKE STRONGER TRACK BARS AND THATS THE ONLY THING THEY MAKE. PLEASE RECALL IT IS A BIG PROBLEM NOT ONLY ON THE 2001 BUT MANY OTHER YEARS TOO! THEIRS EVEN A COUPLE WEB SITES LIKE WWW.DODGETRUCKSTEERINGPROBLEMS.COM AND WWW.DODGESUCKS.COM AND WWW.DODGERAM.ORG
