2002 Dodge RAM 1500

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT DUPLICATE, SO THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY THE CONSUMER, THEY NOTICED THAT IGNITION CAN BE SWITCHED TOWARD THE ACCESSORY MODE WITHOUT MUCH FORCE. CONSUMER INFORMED DEALERSHIP AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER.

MY HUSBANDS 6 MONTH OLD DODGE RAM 1500 2002 TIRE CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I WAS BEHIND HIM IN MY CAR AND HAD TO PULL HIM OUT OF THE TRUCK. THE ALUMINUM SPINDAL BROKE IN HALF. WHCIH MANY MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND STATED THAT THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THIS TRUCK TO WRECK. THE AIRBAGS DEFAULTED HIS BODY IMPRESSION WAS IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FRONT LEFT TIRE CAME COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM VECHILE.

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM THAT REPLACED A LEMON 2001 DODGE RAM. THE 02 HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END PULLING AND SHACKING SINCE THE DAY RECEIVED THE TRUCK IT HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 5 TIMES SINCE AUGUST 5TH 2002. IT ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE IDLE ALLWAYS DROPPING BELOW 500 RPMS AND TRYING TO STALL ALONG WITH VERY HARD DOWNSHIFTING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALERS ALLWAYS SAY UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENS ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER IT IS VERY FRUSTARTING TO DROP OFF THE TRUCK FOR DAYS AT A TIME ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH AND THEN BE TOLD UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND GET IN THE TRUCK AND IT HAPPEN BUT THE DEALERS CLAIM THEY DONT FEEL THE PROBLEM OR CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE TSB'S FOR THE ENGINE IDLE HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AND ALL IT DID WAS MAKE IT NO STALL OUT COMPLETLY ONLY IDLE WAY DOWN AND ALSO MY GAS MILAGE AND THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE TO GO DOWN. I HAVE REQUESTED DODGE BUY THIS THING THEY CALL THE MAYOR BACK ON NOV 15TH 02 AND THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. WHAT CAN I DO NOW DAIMLER IS JUST IGNORING MY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK. I BUILT A ANTI DODGE WEBSITE TRYING TO GET THERE ATTENTION AS TO HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THESE TROUBLE AS WELL AND I HAVE POSTED EMAILS AND STORIES FROM THEM ON THE WEB SITE.

I RENTED THIS TRUCK FROM ENTERPRISE, I WAS BLINDED BY AN ONCOMING 18 WHEELER AND RAN INTO A BIG TRUCK THAT STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE BRAKES LOCKED UP SENDING ME INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE WHERE AN 18 WHEELER WAS COMING AT ME. I LET OFF THE BRAKES AND DID A CONTROLLED CRASH INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING ME GREAT PAIN AND INJURIES THAT HAVE YET TO BE FULLY DETERMINED. LAWYERS TOLD ME THAT SINE I WAS NOT KILLED I COULD NEVER WIN A BATTLE WITH THE AUTO MAKES SO ONCE AGAIN THE SMALL GUY GETS THE SHORT END OF THE STICK. I JUST THOUGHT BY REPORTING THIS TOO YOU, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS KIND OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND POSSIBLY SAVE A LIFE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****770770
