1999 Dodge RAM 1500

THIS TRUCK HAS ALWAYS HAD PLAY IN STEERING. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GO STRAIGHT, THE WHEEL HAS TO BE TURNED ABOUT 45 DEGREES TO THE LEFT, EVEN AFTER AN ALIGNMENT. I HAVE GONE THROUGH MULTIPLE TIE ROD ENDS, AND OTHER STEERING COMPONENTS. I CAN TURN THE WHEEL ABOUT 25% BACK AND FORTH, AND THE TRUCK GOES NO WHERE WHICH IS NOT SAFE, WAY TO MUCH PLAY IN STEERING AND I'VE SEEN A LOT OF INCIDENTS WHERE THIS HAPPENED WITH OTHER PEOPLE. DODGE NEEDS A RECALL. *TR

DASH HAD TWO SMALL CRACKS IN DASH WHEN PURCHASED USED IN 2010. SINCE THEN, THESE CRACKS HAVE MULTIPLIED AND HAVE BECOME LARGER, WITH PIECES BREAKING OUT, LEAVING SHARP EDGES. SOME PIECES ARE FALLING INTO AREA OF PASSENGER AIR BAG, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CUT IN COMPONENTS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE RAM PICKUP TRUCKS DURING SEVERAL YEARS. I HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2002 RAM, ON WHICH CHRYSLER CORP. PAID PARTIALLY FOR DASH REPLACEMENT. THIS SITUATION COULD VERY WELL BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. *JS

A PART OF THE DASH OF MY 1999 DODGE RAM , DISLODGED FROM ITS POSITION ATOP OF MY DASH. THE DASH OF THE VEHICLE IS CRACKED AND CAVING IN LIKE ALL DODGE DASHES THIS YEAR AND MODEL. I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP ON A HILL, WHEN A PIECE DISLODGED FROM IT POSITION ON MY DASH, AND CUT ME IN THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE BELOW MY LEFT EYE, THIS COULD HAVE BLINDED ME, AND I KNOW THE NHTSA, WOULD NEVER ALLOW A VEHICLE WITH LARGE SHARP ABS PLASTIC PIECES FLYING AROUND THE CABIN. THE ABS PLASTIC DASH IS IN HORRIBLE CONDITION, IT IS CRACKED AND FALLEN IN AND PIECES FLY OUT ALL THE TIME. I AM PREPARED TO SUE CHRYSLER CORP. IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA, THANK YOU *TR

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY, 2 TO 5 TIMES A WEEK, LOSES POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, RPM, OTHER DASHBOARD INDICATORS, THE ODOMETER READOUT DISPLAYS "NOBUS". THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THERE IS NO SHOULDER, YOU ARE STOPPED ON THE ROAD. TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER SIDE WIRING HARNESS ON THE COMPUTER (WHICH IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE WALL) IS PULLED AND REPLACED WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE KEY, A NOISE OCCURS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION .IS BEING MADE, THEN THE VEHICLE CAN USUALLY BE RESTARTED. SOMETIMES THEN THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, OR NOT! THE DEALERS AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT THE POTENTIAL MUST BE KNOWN SINCE IT SENDS THE "NOBUS" MESSAGE. *TR
