THE DASH IN MY 99 DODGE RAM IS SEVERLY CRACKED AND I BELIEVE THAT DOD GE SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE THEM THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM IN ALOT OF DODGES IF THE DASH IS CRAKED REAL BAD AND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS IT CAN BECOME A DEATHLY SITUATION. *TR
DEALERSHIP FAILED TO INSTALL THE REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS AS STATED IN THE TRAILER HITCH RECALL 00V107000, BUT TOLD THE CONSUMER THEY DID. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY THE CONSUMER HE DETERMINED THAT NOTHING WAS INSTALLED, AND TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER, AND BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THEIR ATTENTION. THEN, DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PART, BUT GAVE NO REASON WHY THE PART WASN'T REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AS THEY HAD INDICATED.*AK
ON 14JUN02 I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES WITH NEW ONES. AT THAT TIME I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY VAN. I WAS SHOWN WHERE THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ROTOR ,ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE, WAS TOO LARGE A DIAMETER FOR THE WHEELS. THE TIRE HAD TO BE FORCED OFF AND ON. SINCE I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED BOTH WHEELS WERE NOW WARPED. IN FORCING THE T HE WHEELS ONTO THE ROTOR, THE LUGS APPEARED TO BE DAMAGED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF WEIGHTS HAD TO BE USED TO TRY TO BALANCE THE WHEELS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM AND SINCE THIS IS ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER DEFECTS MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.*AK
