- Air bags › Frontal
WE OWE A 1999 DODGE 1500 QUAD CAB RIGHT AFTER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY WENT OUT THE DASH CAVED IN REALLY BAD. WE BOUGHT ONE FROM A JUNK YARD AND REPLACED IT HOWEVER IT IS CAVING IN NOW. THE GLOVE BOX JUST RECENTLY FELL OUT. THE OVERHEAD BOX THAT HOLDS YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER BROKE. I AM JUST WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE DASH AND AIRBAGS. I THINK A FORMAL INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR
- Power train › Automatic transmission
WHILE MY STEP DAD WAS DRIVING MY DODGE DURANGO UP A HILL, THE ENGINE REVVED UP, LOST POWER, AND QUIT. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. AFTER BLOGGING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THERE APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS FAILING AT ALL MILEAGE LEVELS. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM TRUCK 2500 SERIES 4X4. THE DASH ON THIS VEHICLE HAS TOTALLY CAVED IN AND FALLEN ON THE CONTROLS, AIRBAG, FAN AND WIRING. I CAN'T EVEN GET TO SOME OF THE PIECES OF THE PLASTIC. I HAVE READ AND HEARD ON THE RADIO/TV THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF DODGE OWNERS ARE HAVING IT ISN'T JUST ME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE MATERIALS THAT DODGE IS USING IN THEY'RE PLASTIC AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. *TR
- Service brakes, hydraulicFire
CORROSION OF BRAKE LINES CAUSED ONE TO RUPTURE. DEALER STATES THAT LINES WERE MADE OF ALUMINUM AND WERE NO LONGER MADE OR SUPPLIED FROM DODGE. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SOME OTHER DODGE VEHICLES (NEON). *TR

RECENT PURCHASE OF 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 SPORT TRUCK. WITH NO FORCE OR ASSISTANCE THE DASH OF THE TRUCK CRACKED ONCE AND WITHIN SECONDS ANOTHER LARGER CRACK ENGULFED THE DASH. THE TRUCK WAS IN THE GARAGE WHEN THE INITIAL INCIDENT HAPPENED AND THE OTHER HAPPENED AS I STATED ABOVE SECONDS LATER AS I BACKED OUT OF THE GARAGE. *TR

I HAVE TWO 1999 DODGE RAM 2500 PICKUPS AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE CRACKED DASHES WHICH ARE ABOUT TO CAVE IN. I HAVE FRIEND WHO IS ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT HIS DASH ALREADY CAVED IN AND NOW IS HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS , NEWER AND OLDER TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING IF DODGE IS WORKING TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? *TR

BALL JOINTS NEED REPLACEMENT. *TR
- Electrical system
1999 DODGE DURANGO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. MOST OF THE TIME IT WAS WHEN VEHICLE WAS HOT, AND MULTIPLE STOPS WERE MADE. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND GAUGES. MUST WAIT FOR VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN BEFORE IT WILL START AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN TRAFFIC, AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. *AK
