MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER HAS A BULLETIN ON A HIGHER OUTPUT WATER PUMP FOR THE V-10 MOTOR, DUE TO LOW HEAT OUTPUT. MY TRUCK WINDSHIELD ICED UP DURING DRIVING ALLOWING 0 VISIBILITY OUT ON A COUNTRY ROAD. THE THERMOSTAT FAILED AND A 120 AMP FUSE LINK BLEW PER MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER..MY TRUCK STILL PUTS OUT LOW HEAT TEMP. SO I NEED TO KNOW IF CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE SINCE THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT.? THANK YOU.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
THE HORN ON THE DODGE RAM P/U IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ENGAGE OR SOUND. A PERSON HAS TO PUSH THROUGH THE AIRBAG TO MAKE THE HORN SOUND. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM IN SEVERAL VEHICLES. ANY HELP YOU CAN GET DODGE TO DO IN REPLACING THE HORN WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE TRUCK HAS HAD CHRONIC BRAKE PULL PROBLEMS - EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE. THE DEALER HASN'T BEEN RESPONSIVE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM IN QUESTION. NO PARTS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER; CHRYSLER HAS BEEN VERY UNRESPONSIVE TO THE PROBLEM. THE PULL IS SO BAD THAT THE TRUCK WILL ACTUALLY CHANGE LANES WHILE BRAKING. I AM NOT SURE IF NHTSA REALLY DOES ANYTHING, BUT IF THEY STAND FOR SAFETY, THEN THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE VERY SERIOUSLY LOOKED INTO. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BRAKE PULL PROBLEMS, PLEASE REFER TO: HTTP://WWW.CARTRACKERS.COM/FORUMS/MESSAGES/164.MECHGOBLINS.HTML. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THERE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/75 )
