UNKNOWN OR OTHER
RAM 2500, OUR 12 YEAR OLD SON WAS RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT OF THIS EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCK AND WAS SECURELY FASTENED INTO THE 3-POINT SEATBELT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. WHEN WE HIT A LARGE POTHOLE, HIS HEAD SNAPPED BACK AND HIT THE GLASS REAR WINDOW. THERE IS NO HEAD RESTRAINT OR HEAD PROTECTION OF ANY KIND FOR THE REAR SEAT PASSENGER. HE SUFFERED A MILD CONTUSION. IF THIS WAS A MORE SEVERE EPISODE, OR AN ACCIDENT, THE INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERE. WE NEED TO HAVE HEAD RESTRAINT PROTECTION MADE AVAILABLE TO US FOR REAR SEAT PASSENGERS IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT WE WERE UNAWARE OF WHEN WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. OUR DEALER TELLS US THERE IS NOTHING AVAILABLE THROUGH CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AROUND THE FIRST OF LAST MONTH (OCT)98 I NOTICED MY AUTO TRANNY WAS ACTING FUNNY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IT SHIFTS VERY LATE. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE IT SHIFT. IN TRAFIC THIS REALLY IS A PROBLEM. PEOPLE WONDER WHY I SLOW DOWN AND I'M AFRAID I WILL GET HIT FROM THE REAR. I TALKED TO DODGE ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT REPLACING MY TRANSMISSION. IF THEY DON'T THIS IS REALLY GOING TO UPSET ME. A 30,000 DOLLAR TRUCK AND ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I FEEL STRONGLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE IF DODGE DOES NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANKS
