1999 Dodge RAM 1500

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS EXAMINING HIS VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY FALLING APART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING. THAT IS A SEPERATE FAILURE. THE NEXT FAILURE IS WHEN GOING OVER ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RPMS, GUAGES, BELLS CUTS OFF AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, IT WILL NOT RESTART. IT IS NOT CORRECTED AND AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSTLER, THEY OPTED TO DO NOTHING TOWARDS THE REPAIR. *TR

THIS PROBLEM WITH THE POWER SEAT IS VERY UNSAFE AND IT IS A GOOD THING THAT I'M AM SOMEWHAT MECHANICALLY INCLINE AND THOUGHT TO PULL THE FUSE OUT JUST AS I COULD SEE THE SMOKE AND THE WHITE HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT WAS RED JUST READY TO IGNITE SO JUST PICTURE IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMEONE THAT IS NOT M.INCLINE AND WOULD NOT THINK OF PULLING THE FUSE I GUARANTEE A FIRE WOULD BREAK OUT UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT...I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MY WIFE AND 3YEAR OLD SON DRIVING IN THE TRUCK ALONE AND I GUARANTEE THAT SHE WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT TO PULL THE FUSE OUT OR THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE THAT HAS THE SAME TRUCK...ALSO I HAVE NOT TAKE THE TRUCK IN TO THE DODGE DEALER YET BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A BIG REPAIR BILL ...THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE 1500 QUAD CAB TRUCK AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 1999. THIS PAST YEAR MY DASH BOARD STARTED CRACKING AND THEN JUST CAVED IN. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH FOUR KIDS. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. I AM NOW STARTING TO HAVE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL. THIS IS A HAZARD TO ME AND MY KIDS. I PROMISE SOMEONE WILL BE SUED IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MYSELF OR MY KIDS. DODGE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT CALL THIS A RECALL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR
