STEERING
STEERING IN MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 IS VERY UNSAFE. IT IS NOT RESPONSIVE, AND SEEMS VERY LOOSE. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS "NORMAL". THE TRUCK WILL WANDER ALL OVER THE LANE, AND WHEN I TRY TO CORRECT IT, GOES COMPLETELY THE OTHER WAY, AND THIS TO ME IS DANGEROUS. THERE IS LOTS OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND AGAIN THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS "NORMAL". *NLM

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.

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.
