Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A NEIGHBOR, IT WAS CLEAN AND STRAIGHT AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR YEARS. I DRAINED THE GAS AND INSTALLED A NEW PUMP IN THE TANK, THE MOTOR RUNS GREAT. IN PROGRESSING WITH ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BEFORE TRYING TO DRIVE THIS PICK-UP I STARTED TO INSTALL A NEW TRANSMISSION FILTER WHEN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN I DISCOVERED A WEDGE OF CAST METAL THAT HAD A CUP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE THICK UPPER PORTION THAT WAS BROKEN OUT. I WAS DISAPPOINTED AS I KNEW THIS WOULD BE A PROBLEM. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A PARKING SPRAG JUST FROM LOOKING AT IT. THEY SAID THEY COULD ORDER ME ONE AND GAVE ME NO OTHER INFORMATION. SINCE I HAVE BEEN HOME I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART. MY VIN # IS [XXX] 1988 DODGE SHORT BOX D100 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITH A 5.2 MOTOR. SHOULD I GO AHEAD AND TRANSFER THE TITLE TO MY NAME OR SEW MY FRIEND FOR SELLING ME A LEMON? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
