SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE AIR IDLE VALVE DID NOT OPEN AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR IDLE VALVE WAS INSTALLED BACKWARDS AND SHOULD REMAIN IN THE OPEN POSITION TO ALLOW AIR TO ENTER AND FOR THE VEHICLE TO PROPERLY CLOSE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE VALVE, WHICH WAS INSTALLED IN THE SAME MANNER. THE REPAIR LASTED FOR A YEAR, BUT THE FAILURE HAS RECENTLY RESURFACED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

DASH SHATTERS AFTER TIME. I HAVE A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE PLASTIC DASH SHATTERED. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE THE FRAGMENTS ARE VERY SHARP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE DASH SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH ONE THAT IS NOT SO SUSCEPTIBLE TO CRACKING. THIS DEFECT CERTAINLY COULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN EVEN A MINOR ACCIDENT. *TR
