SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY DODGE PICKUP HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO TRY TO FIX A REPETITIVE PROBLEM WITH MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKES. ONE PAD OUT OF THE FOUR UP FRONT WEAR DOWN TO NOTHING WHILE THE OTHER 3 HAVE PRACTICALLY NO WEAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED THE CALIPER, ROTOR, PADS, EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE FRONT DISC BRAKES TO NO AVAIL. THE SAME FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AREA HAS HAD THE IDLER ARM REPLACED AND OTHER PARTS TO TRY TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING HAS WORKED. THE DEALERSHIP NOW HAS RUN OUT OF PARTS TO CHANGE TO TRY TO FIX, SO THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH GAVE UP AND SAY THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER BRAKE JOB. THE SINGLE PAD WEARS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE RIVETS WITHIN 12-15K MILES, SO THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT I WILL NEED A BRAKE JOB EVERY 12-15K MILES. RIDICULOUS. THEY HAVE ACCEPTED ALL THE OTHER PRIOR ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY, BUT NOW THEY WILL NOT, AS THEY HAVE RUN OUT OF IDEAS TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE IS STILL WITHIN ITS WARRANTY PERIOD. THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION TO GIVE ME FOR THIS FAILURE EITHER.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I RENTED THIS TRUCK FROM ENTERPRISE, I WAS BLINDED BY AN ONCOMING 18 WHEELER AND RAN INTO A BIG TRUCK THAT STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE BRAKES LOCKED UP SENDING ME INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE WHERE AN 18 WHEELER WAS COMING AT ME. I LET OFF THE BRAKES AND DID A CONTROLLED CRASH INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING ME GREAT PAIN AND INJURIES THAT HAVE YET TO BE FULLY DETERMINED. LAWYERS TOLD ME THAT SINE I WAS NOT KILLED I COULD NEVER WIN A BATTLE WITH THE AUTO MAKES SO ONCE AGAIN THE SMALL GUY GETS THE SHORT END OF THE STICK. I JUST THOUGHT BY REPORTING THIS TOO YOU, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS KIND OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND POSSIBLY SAVE A LIFE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****770770

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2000 DODGE 2500 DIESEL TRUCK - TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, INCLUDING ONCE WHILE PULLING A 30 FT. CAMPER. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL ON A WET ROAD ON A HILL IN PA. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE ANY PARTS BECAUSE NO CODES SHOW UP WHEN IS PUT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER LEAVING THE ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT HAS NOT FAILED NEAR ENOUGH TO HOME AND WHEN THE DEALER WAS OPEN. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A FATAL ACCIDENT BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED.
