WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DUE A DEFECTIVE BRAKE LINE. .*AK *JG

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE VEHICLE STOPS ON A GRADE BRAKE PEDAL WILL LOSE RESISTANCE, AND FALL TO THE FLOORBOARD. THIS RESULTS IN VEHICLE ROLLING INTO AN INTERSECTION. ALSO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES DURING NORMAL OPERATION, PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR, AND BRAKES FAIL TO SLOW VEHICLE. ACCORDING DEALERSHIP WAS UNWILLING TO EXAMINE VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER ISSUES. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / ATTACHMENTS.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

BRAKES HAVE NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE PURCHASED.DEALER HAS CHECK SEVERAL TIMES. *AK

WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED IN A PANIC STOP PEDAL BECAME HARD AND RELEASED, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING WHICH CAUSED A COLLISION. DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT 24 TO 30 MPH CONSUMER TRIED TO TURN AND STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. CONSUMER TRIED TO BRAKE THERE WERE NO BRAKES. VEHICLE HIT A POLE, AND AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. WHEN CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALER FOR A RECALL LETTER RECEIVED. DEALER HAD NO PARTS AVAILABLE. CONSUMER FELT THIS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BECAUSE RECALL PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. *AK WHILE WAITING FOR RECALL PARTS TO ARRIVE AT DEALER FOR STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP CAUSING ACCIDENT. *YH

CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALER IN REFERENCE TO MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 875/ ABS BRAKE FAILURE. DEALER CORRECTED PROBLEM. HOWEVER, CONSUMER NOTED THAT ABS LIGHT WAS STILL ILLUMINATING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

RECALL 00V135000/ ABS BRAKES. AFTER DEALER PERFORMED RECALL REPAIRS VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL, AND THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE IN MOTION. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE REMEDY HAS FAILED TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. MANUFACTURER WILL BE NOTIFIED.*AK

97V068000/BRAKES: VEHICLE BEEN EXPERIENCING ONGOING PROBLEM WITH BRAKE FAILURE. VEHICLE BEEN TO DEALER SHOP ON FOUR OR MORE OCCASIONS, AND CONDITION STILL IS UNRESOLVED. TRANSMISSION TROUBLE HAS ALSO OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. *AK *ML

WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED IT WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

RECALL 99V214000/FRONT SUSPENSION. DEALER DID NOT PROPERLY INSTALL THE VACUUM HOSE LINE INTO THE CLIPS ON THE RIGHT SIDE. ALSO, RUBBER GROMET ON THE COIL SPRING WAS NOT SEATED PROPERLY ON THE LEFT SIDE. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, NOTICED A NOISE. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO TRAVEL. CONSUMER PUSHED PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO FLOORBOARD. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT AIR BAG LIGHT AND ABS BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON UNEXPECTEDLY AT ALL TIMES. *AK

CONSUME R HAS ONLY 39,000 MILES ON VEHICLE, AND HAS REPLACED THE BRAKES.DEALER SAID THAT WARRANTY HAS BEEN VOIDED BECAUSE CONSUMER HAD PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED SOMEWHERE ELSE. MANUFACTURE WAS CALLED ALSO TO SEE IF THE VIN# WAS MATCHED TO A RECALL. WAS INFORMED NO RECALL. *AK

THIS VEHICLE FROM TIME OF PURCHASE WILL SWERVE SIDE TO SIDE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH. YOU CAN'T TELL WHICH WAY IT WILL SWERVE ON THE SUDDEN APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES. DODGE WILL NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. IT IS A HAZARD. *AK

REAR BRAKES GRAB AND LOCK UP WHEN BACKING UP OR STARTING OUT SOMETIMES. TRANSMISSION DOESN'T GO INTO OVERDRIVE HIGH RPM AT HIGH SPEEDS.

TRUCK EXHIBITS SERIOUS PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING. BEEN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES, REPLACING ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM, SPENT $2000+ ON REPAIRS, PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS THEN COMES BACK. TRUCK CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN BECAUSE THE BRAKE PULL IS SO SERIOUS. HITTING THE BRAKES CAN MAKE THE TRUCK CHANGE LANES TO THE LEFT (ONCOMING TRAFFIC). CANNOT AFFORD TO DUMP MORE MONEY INTO REPAIRS FOR A PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT SEEM REPAIRABLE (OUT OF WARRANTY). SAW MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET OF SAME PROBLEM. DODGE MUST ISSUE A RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM MAKING LEMONS OUT OF 4-5 YEAR OLD TRUCKS. PLEASE HELP.

NO SUMMARY

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. ALSO, DEALER HAS REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

VIOLENT LATERAL PULL UPON BRAKE APPLICATION. OCCURES ABOUT ONCE TO FIVE TIMES EVERY 150 APPLICATIONS. *AK

POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOST FAILURE. HOSE THAT CONNECTS BELT DRIVEN VACUUM PUMP TO THE BRAKE BOOST CANNISTER WAS PARTIALLY COLLAPSED. TRUCK HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER 2 MONTHS EARLIER FOR LOSS OF BOOST IN BRAKING SYSTEM. DEALER CLAIMED BRAKING SYSTEM WAS OPERATING PROPERLY. TRUCK WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT ON 5-30-1998. TRAFFIC SITUATION WAS STOP AND GO. BRAKES HAD BEEN APPLIED ONCE, AND THEN HAD TO BE APPLIED AGAIN. TRUCK COULD NOT BE STOPPED FROM 6 CAR LENGTH DISTANCE FROM 30 MPH - ABOUT 100 FT. BRAKES HAD LOST ALL BOOST AND EVEN BOTH FEET APPLIED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ONLY PROVIDED MARGINAL BRAKING. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL (97V06800) ON SOME 1995 DODGE RAM DIESEL TRUCKS TO ADD AN EXTERNAL CHECK VALVE TO THE VACUUM PUMP AND REPLACE THE HOSE WITH AN OIL RESISTANT VERSION. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THAT SINCE MY TRUCK WAS NOT RECALLED (IT HAS PUMP WITH INTERNAL CHECK VALVE) THEY ARE NOT REPSONSIBLE TO REPAIR. IT IS CLEAR THAT EVEN WITH THE INTERNAL VALVE, OVER TIME SOME AMOUNT OF OIL MIST GETS INTO THE HOSE AN CAUSES IT TO WEAKEN, RESULTING IN COLLAPSE. THE VACUMM PUMP INTERANL BEARING IS LUBRICASTED BY AN ENGINE OIL FEED. THE CHECK VALVE DOES NOT COMPLETELY CONTAIN ALL OIL VAPOR FROM ENTERING THE HOSE. CHRYSLER OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THIS BY INCLUDING A OIL RESISTANT HOSE IN THE RECALL KIT. HOWEVER, THAT TRUCKS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WERE LEFT ON THE ROAD WITH A STANDARD NON-OIL RESISTANT VACUUM HOSE. I HAVE TALKED TO NUMEROUS OTHER DODGE TRUCK OWNER WHO HAVE HAD THE VACUUM HOSE COLLAPSE ON TRUCKS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE WRITTEN TO CHRYLER IN THIS MATTER, AND ALL THEY HAVE STATED IS THAT SINCE MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. THEY STATED THAT SINCE NHTSA DID NOT ASK FOR RECALL OF ALL 1995 TRUCKS THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION ON THESE MODELS. ALSO HAVE WRITTEN TO SUSAN CISHKE DIRECTOR OF CERTIFICATION COMPLIANCE AND SAFTEY AFFAIRS AND DID NOT GET ANY RESPONSE. I HAVE RETAINED THE FAILED HOSE.

THE BRAKE HOSE FAILED BECAUSE OF A DESIGN DEFECT. THE BRACKET THAT IS PART OF THE HOSE ASSEMBLY CAUSES A BEND IN THE HOSE THAT FORCES THE HOSE TO CONTACT THE WHEEL WEARING A HOLE IN THE HOSE. THE REPLACEMENT HOSE IS DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE THIS BEND. THE RIGHT HOSE IS DESIGNED THE SAME WAY. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER FOUND THIS PROBLEM AND CORRECTED IT BUT DID NOT RECALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. *AK

NOW MY AIR CONTIONER HAS A MUSTY SMELL AND DOES NOT BLOW OUT COLD AIR,

LOSS OF VACUUM TO POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. (CONSUMER IS ATTORNEY).

THIS VEHICLE,AND OTHERS OF SAME MODEL AND YEAR, HAVE CHRONICALLY WEAK BRAKING. HAVE DISCUSSED IT SEVERAL TIMES WITH DEALER; NO REMEDIES OFFERED. NEARLY UNABLE TO STOP AT MODERATE SPEEDS MUCH OF THE TIME. SEEMS TO GET SOMEWHAT BETTER AFTER REPEATED USAGE. I CONSIDER IT TO BE UNSAFE WITH NORMAL DRIVING PRACTICES. *AK

CONSUMER SAYS WHILE DRIVING UNDER ANY DRIVING CONDITIONS THE BRAKES FADE OUT AND COME BACK IN WHEN APPLIED,THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, GIVING NO RESPONSE AND THEN IT WILL PUMP BACK UP ON ITS OWN TO RESPOND. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

BRAKE CALIPER LEAKING.

BRAKE SYSTEM WILL NOT STOP IN EMERGENCY STOPPING.

3500 - STARTED AT 6000 MILES THE FRONT BRAKES WORE OUT. REPLACED WITH NEW ONES. THEN AGAIN AT 12000 MILES FRONT BRAKES, ROTORS, REPLACED. THEN AT 20000 MILES CALIBERS, BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS REPLACED. AT 30000 MILES MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE HOSES, REPLACED. AGAIN AT 40000 MILES ALL THE ABOVE REPLACED. AT 50000 MILES BRAKE PADS REPLACED AGAIN. AT 60000 MILES EVERYTHING CHECKED, TIRES CHANGED, AND STILL THE TRUCK PULLS TO THE LEFT AT BRAKING. CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLING THEM WHAT HAS HAPPENED. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. A SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED MONTHS AGO PERTAINING TO THIS PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO HELP.
