POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE STEERING COLUMN STARTING SQUEAKING, AND THE SHIFT STICK WOULD WIGGLE A LITTLE WHILE IN GEAR. THEN ONE OF THE NEXT TIMES I WENT TO GO MOVE THE TRUCK I PUT IT INTO REVERSE, STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT SHIFTED ITSELF INTO DRIVE. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING IT, WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL IT WOULD CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER A YEAR AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT ALL THEY DID WAS TIGHTENED THINGS IN THE STEERING COLUMN.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
I HAVE BEEN TO MY DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE TOLD THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL LOCATION AND TRAVEL CHANGED WITH THE 2000 YEAR MODELS AND THAT MINE IS "NORMAL". THE PROBLEM AND MY CONCERN IS THAT ONE CAN PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ANDINITIAL POSITION AND TRAVEL MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO THEN HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE END OF THE STROKE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED WITH ME OR MY VEHICLE. AT MY DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE A COUPLE OTHER DODGE MODELS WHERE THE SAME COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF IT. I ALSO FEAR THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A 15-PASSENGER VAN, IT IS OFTEN USED BY SCHOOLS AND DAYCARE TO TRANSPORT LOTS OF SMALL CHILDREN. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE CATASTROPHIC POSSIBILITIES OF ONE OF THESE VEHICLES PULLING UP TO LARGE GROUPS OF SMALL CHILDREN. *AK PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DEMONSTRATE THE PROBLEM FOR ANYONE.
