VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATE WHEN A SPEED OD 35 MPH OR HIGHER IS REACHED. IT CONSTANTLY VIBRATES FROM THAT SPEED ON, AND VIBRATES TO THE POINT THAT IT IS ESSENTIALLY USELESS - YOU CANNOT SEE IN IT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP (PALMER DODGE) APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES, AND ALSO TO SOUTH TOWNE DODGE. EACH DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE MIRROR AND RETIGHTENED ALL NUTS, BOLTS, SCREWS, ETC., BUT THE VIBRATION WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD US THAT IT OCCURS ON ALL TRUCKS FROM 1994 TO THE PRESENT, AND THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION YET. PLEASE HELP ME BE ABLE TO SEE BEHIND ME WHEN I DRIVE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE DEALERS WERE NOTIFIED AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAPPENS ON HOT DAYS. SINCE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPEAT THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM TO ATTEND TO. THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DISAGREE! HERE IS THE PROBLEM. AFTER A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES WOULD HESITATE TO ACCEL WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDDLE. I HEAR THE RPM GOING UP AS I PRESS THE GAS BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. I SEE THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THESE POSSIBLE SITUATIONS: WHEN I AM MAKING A LEFT TURN AFTER A COMPLETE STOP IF MY VEHICLE DOESN'T GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AS I EXPECT IT TO, IT COULD TURN INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME AND THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. ANOTHER SITUATION WOULD BE WHEN I ENTER THE FREEWAY AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE MUST ACCELERATE ADAQUATELY IN ORDER FOR IT TO JOIN THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICES. I'M GLAD THAT I CAN TURN TO SOMEONE WHO WILL LISTEN TO MY CONCERNS. MY ENCOUNTERS WITH THE DEALERS WERE NOT PLEASANT SOON AFTER THEY SOLD ME THE CAR. THANK YOU AGAIN. I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.
