I OWN A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 2X4. CLUTCH WAS REPLACED AT 36000 MILES, AND MOTOR WAS REBUILD AT 46000 MILES, BOTH TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. EACH TIME I' HAD THE OIL CHANGED THERE APPEARED TO BE A WHITE SUBSTANCE BUILDING UP ON THE OIL CAP AS IF IT WAS CONDENSATION. I NOW HAVE 88000 MILES AND HAVE A "TICKING. LIKE A VALVE STICKING, AND CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS WHITE SUBSTANCE. WHEN IT RAINS OR I GO THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER THE BELT STARTS TO SLIP AND ALL POWER IS LOST. *AK

1. OUR DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AFTER NOT USING THE TRUCK FOR SEVERAL WEEKS WE NOTICED DURING A TRIP SINCE THEN THE CRACK HAS GOTTEN BIGGER IN LESS THEN 48 HOURS. 2. I'VE READ THAT THIS CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND WE HAVE HAD OUR AC QUIT WORKING FOR A LITTLE WHILE SINCE THE CRACK WAS NOTICE 3. SO, FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I HAVE E-MAIL THE DEALERSHIP AND DODGE AND SO FAR NOT MUCH IS BEING SAID. I HAVE NOTICE THAT THE MAIN DODGES THAT ARE CRACKING ARE 01 BUT MINE IS NEWER IT IS AN 03 I CAN'T THINK WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE IN 2 YEARS. *TR

HELLO, I OWN A 2003 RAM AND MY DASHBOARD IS ALSO FALLING APART. I SAW PICTURES OF OTHER DODGE TRUCKS BROKEN DASHBOARDS AND MY DASHBOARD LOOKS A LOT WORST THAN MOST OF THEM. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY TRUCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IF IT ONLY HAD 1 CRACK I WOULD NOT BE AS UPSET BUT MY DASHBOARD HAS 8 CRACKS ON IT AND ITS LOOKING TERRIBLE. I BELIEVE I MIGHT START HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRIC UNDER THE DASHBOARD IF I DON'T GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I AM STARTING TO THINK ABOUT THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE TRUCK. MY SISTER, BROTHER AND I HAVE ALL BOUGHT BRAND NEW TRUCKS FROM THE SAME DEALER AT SANFORD, FLORIDA. IF THE DEALER DOES NOT HELP ME REPLACE THE DASHBOARD, I ASSURE YOU THEY WILL LOOSE OUR FAMILY BUSINESS. THANK YOU :( *TR

TIRES:SIDEWALL
I BOUGHT THE 04 NISSAN MAXIMA IN DECEMBER 2004, AND IN SEPTEMBER . 2005 I TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE LOCAL GOODYEAR TIRE DEALER THAT TWO OF THE TIRES HAD CRACKS IN THE SIDEWALLS. BECAUSE THE CAR HAD ONLY 10,000 MILES GOODYEAR REPLACED THESE TWO TIRES UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. NOW, IN 2007 WITH 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR THE OTHER TWO ORIGINAL TIRES HAVE SIDEWALL CRACKS. OF COURSE GOODYEAR WILL ONLY GIVE ME CREDIT FOR THE WEAR LEFT ON THE TIRES , AND A NEW TIRE COST $300. WE HAVE DECIDED FOR SAFETY REASONS WE WERE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THESE TIRES WITH THE GOODYEAR EAGLE SIZE 245/45R18V. THIS SEEMED TO BE A SIMILAR PROBLEM AS FORD AND FIRESTONE HAD WITH THE EXPLORER SEVERAL YEARS AGO. WHY HAS THE PUBLIC NOT BEEN INFORMED ABOUT THE NISSAN/GOODYEAR TIRE PROBLEM. MY CONCLUSION WAS FEWER OF US OWN MISSING THAN FORDS. SO, IF THE TIRES CAUSE A COUPLE OF US TO HAVE WRECKS THAT WAS JUST THE PRICE OF DOING BIG BUSINESS. *AK

A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOTICED BACK IN JANUARY BUT WE ARE UNCERTAIN EXACTLY HOW LONG IT HAD BEEN THERE. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS, THE CRACK AGGRESSIVELY SPREAD THROUGH THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO CAUSE THE CRACK AT ANY TIME. THE DASHBOARD HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED WITH CONDITIONERS, AND THERE WERE NO OTHER AREAS WITH PROBLEMS.*AK
