Takata recall 1999 Dodge ram (death wobble) the left front of the truck feels like it going to fall apart this truck is in good condition other then the only thing I can find is a random starting death wobble and of course nobody own up to there mistake as normal and its sad you make all that money and it comes with innocent blood on your hands Dodge you made a mistake fix it before its to late and you in up killing people I'm a vet with a child if something happens to my child because he loves riding in daddy's truck I will tell you one thing there will be no law suit on my hands they will make a movie of the hell I bring down those. . . . Lets just leave it at that and fix the problem I'm not one to be the guy that tells the spoiler plus its not going to come to that because you all are good people and your going to do the right thing and not have family's out there in death traps.
Driving 30 mph sudden strong smell of gasoline then visible white fog of vapor rose from defrost vents (defroster/fan not on) pulled over immediately but brake pedal went to floor with no activation of brakes. All this happened quickly, within 10 seconds used emergency brake to stop vehicle to evacuate 10 year old daughter and self barely in time. Bystander shouting that it was on fire. Fire erupted from under hood and spread into cab. Fire dept. Called by bystander as we used fire extinguishers unsuccessfully. Truck was engulfed and destroyed. Recalls were addressed spring of 2003. A later recall not realized by us includes fix for antilock brake controller corrosion that could cause fire. Geico claim # 0480694490101028 but no compensation, as not covered for fire. Fire dept. Took a report, police said no collision so they didn't. I don't currently have the fire dept. Report but may be able to obtain it.
Dash peaces falling into heater vents and other componits.
1999 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup, while driving around 35-45 mph usually on a downhill grade the entire vehicle will begin to shake,the only word to describe it is violently and will not subside until you can get the speed below 20mph but you can not just apply the breaks or the shaking become uncontrollable,I have replace most of the suspension(control arms,ball joints ect. )nothing works. This has happened multiple times! I've talked to others and there is a name for it, Dodge death wobble. Also I am another victim of the Dodge dash cancer, in the last couple of years my dash has basically disintegrated. . . . Considering bringing a class action lawsuit.
Dashboard crumpling and falling into air vents and being blown around interior of vehicle. Could cause accident if a little blows into eyes.
My truck just cut off wouldnt start back run straight wire from ignition changed ignition relay nothing next run straight wire from relay to battery it started up I have no o/d and have to shift by hand sometimes truck stalls but starts right back up been this way since 2010 truck has 55000 miles on it.
Dash panel breaking causing dangerous sharp pieces.
The dash in this truck has broken to pieces. This is not an issue of sun exposure or climate--it is simply defective materials. Now when the truck is driven with the window(s) open sharp pieces of dash plastic fly up hitting the driver and passenger in the face. Additionally the electronics for the passenger air bag is now exposed to sun and possible moisture.
Dash is totally falling apart. I was concerned that passenger airbag would not work. I am having dash replaced now for about $1400. 00 and I think this should be a recall as I have never seen any other car or truck do this. There is something defective about this plastic. This is not sun damage.
I own a 1999 Dodge ram truck. The dashboard has completely caved in allowing pieces to fall down and potentially cause catastrophic failure of the trucks electrical system. Replacement is cost prohibitive.
The dashboard has came all apart. From 1998 to 2004 this has been a night mare for owners. I will not buy another Dodge for saftey reasons people could be struck while driving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11.
Dashboard has broken into 30 pieces.
