Structure · at 30,000 miles · reported Oct 25, 2007

Dash board just cracked all over the place for no reason. Service dealer stated it was not a warranty item. We now have huge lines of glue to hold dash from falling completely through. If we ever have a wreck there will be huge jagged edges of dash board coming at us.

Power Train · at 67,000 miles · reported Sep 2, 2005

Loaded vehicle with 1440lb sand. Upon driving highway (Never exceed 55mph) within 20 min vehicle smoked heavily from engine bay. Discovered that vehicle's power steering pump has an overflow valve line that seems to have a pressure valve at the end of it. This hose is connected to the wiring harness near the battery, and points vertically at the hood, just over the valve cover assembly. Power steering fluid poured over the engine, combusting on the engine assembly, but not flaming up. My assumption is that this vehicle's power steering unit is somehow tied to a "load leveler?" that is factory…

Fuel System, Gasoline · at 47,000 miles · reported Aug 24, 2005

The injection pump in my 2002 dodge pu has malfunctioned twice in 14 months and the dealer says that dodge knows that is a problem but nothing will be done about it. And if pump totally fails the truck will not run. I think that dodge should have a recall they changed the truck in 2003 and the pump they know.

Fuel System, Other · at 69,040 miles · reported Jul 6, 2005

My diesel 4x4 truck died, while pulling a large trailer, on the highway. I was traveling 60mph. With great difficulty, I steered over to the shoulder. The truck would not start. It was towed to the dealer. The ground wire broke that goes to the primary fuel pump.

Tires · reported May 31, 2005

Was towing a 24' camper trailer on i20 at 55 MPH and rear tire sidewall blew out nearing causing loss of control of truck and trailer.
