| 1998 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I HAVE A DODGE RAM 1500 WAGON 1998, AND I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND KEEPS STALLING WHENEVER I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS IS VERY WEIRD AND THE MECHANICS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS COMPLAINT. THE ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR A WHILE AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY EITHER, BUT I DO NOT SEE ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM EITHER. CAN YOU HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER. I HAVE REPLACED THE DOOR LOCKS ON EACH DOOR AT LEAST TWICE IN THIS VAN AND IT HAS COST ALOT OF MONEY, I THINK BY NOW THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS VEHICLE, I LOVE RIDING IT BUT IT HAS BEEN HAVING ALOT OF THE SAME RIDING AND MAITENANCE PROBLEMS AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY OR UNDERSTANDS WHY IT KEEPS COMING BACK AFTER FIXING THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. THANK YOU, THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HELP EITHER. *NM |
| 1999 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE, QUITS IN TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE WHILE TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. AFTER VEHICLE SETS FOR ABOUT 45 MIN IT WILL START AGAIN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A SHOP AND THEY REPLACED A COMPONENT THEY SAID WAS BAD, 600.00 AND FOUR DAYS LATER WE PICKED UP VEHICLE AND TO A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE IT QUIT AGAIN AND LEFT US STRANDED IN THE BACK COUNTRY OF COLORADO. AFTER ABOUT A HOUR OR SO IT STARTED AND WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP THAT DONE THE WORK AND THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR OVER A WEEK AND HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. *JB |
