2002 Dodge RAM 2500

HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH MY 02 RAM 2500 TRUCK. REAR BRAKE PADS HAD NOTHING BUT RUST HOLDING THE PADS IN PLACE, HAD THE TURBO AND FUEL PUMP REPLACED, U-JOINTS AND YOKE ON 4WD SHAFT WORN OUT AND HANGER BEARING ON REAR DRIVE SHAFT WORN OUT AT ABOUT 70,000MI, TAIL GATE CABLE BROKE AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS, WHEN CLICKING FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM OCCASIONALLY ALL LIGHTS GO OUT, CANNOT USE HEATED MIRRORS BECAUSE THEY WILL BLOW A FUSE AND I WON'T HAVE ANY HEAT, AND NOW ALL BALL JOINTS AND TIE ROD ENDS ARE WORN AND NEED REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW WITH ONLY 75 MILES ON IT, WHEN I HAD THE FUEL PUMP AND TURBO REPLACED AT AROUND 78,000 MILES, MY MILEAGE INCREASED FROM ABOUT 350 MILES PER TANK TO ABOUT 550 MILES PER TANK OF FUEL. HIGHWAY DRIVING IS MUCH HIGHER MPG. FUEL GAGE NO LONGER WORKS, EMPTY AT HALF TANK OF FUEL NOW. WAS QUARTER TANK AND EMPTY. I'M SURE THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE NEXT, I'VE BEEN PUTTING SPECIAL FLUID ADDITIVE IN THAT, THIS SEEMS TO HELP WITH SMOOTHNESS OF SHIFTING AND POWER. NEVER EVER WILL I WASTE MY MONEY ON A VEHICLE MADE BY THE "BIG THREE" AGAIN. THERE IS A GOOD REASON WHY TOYOTA IS TAKING OVER THE MARKET.*TR

NO "EVENT" LED TO FAILURE. ISSUE IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT ON WWW.LOCAL6.COM OUT OF ORLANDO. MY 2002 DODGE RAM 2500 QUAD CAB HAS A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT HAS BEGIN TO COLLAPSE. THE REPORT REFERENCED DOCUMENTS IDENTICAL ISSUES LEADING TO EVERYTHING FROM ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND LOSS OF LIGHTS DURING NIGHT DRIVING TO LOSS OF VEHICLE OPERATION. PROBLEM IS APPARENTLY WIDESPREAD, SPECIFIC TO DODGE AND EXPANDING. MOST VEHICLES ARE OLDER THAN MINE BUT CRACKS APPEAR TO BE STARTING IN THE SAME PLACE AND ALL PROCEED TO COLLAPSE. SCOTT COOPER WAS THE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER FOR CHANNEL 6 NEWS. *TR

I OWN A 2002 DODGE RAM 2500 CUMMINS DIESEL PICKUP. THIS IS THE PREVIOUS BODY STYLE THAT RAN FROM 1994 TO 2002 IN THE 2500 AND 3500 TRUCKS. WHEN I SWITCH FROM HIGH BEAMS TO LOW BEAMS, THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE YOUR LIGHTS GO OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HEARD OF MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF THESE TRUCKS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE? *TR
