Steering column separation
Mr. Larry a. Sackey submitted a petition to the federal safety agency by letter dated april 18, 2003, requesting that agencyfurther investigate the defective collapsible steering shaft system on 1987-1995 vehicles manufactured by the daimlerchrysler corporation.in part because of 49 cfr ? 30120(g), the federal safety agency has decided to limit the scope of the petition vehicles to 1993-1995 models, excluding the 1993 jeep grand cherokee and 1994-1995 dodge ram series trucks that were recalled (93v210 & 96v230) for steering column failure.if the analysis of these vehicles had identified a potential problem, the scope could have been expanded in an investigation.a review of odi's data base shows no recent complaints and a lack of a complaint trend concerning the subject issue on the subject vehicles as a whole or by individual models.therefore, the petition is denied.for details, see federal register notice volume 68, no. 130, july 8, 2003.

What 1994 Dodge Ram Van owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I had problems from day 1. Battery went dead the very next morning after I brought the van home. I kept recharging it untill it failed completly on a trip to frorida. I figuired out the built in vacuum cleaner had a short. I took it out. The front tires showed excessive wear on outer edges. I kept rotating them. I went to a front end shop for a wheel alignment, they told me the wheel bearings were bad and ball joints were worn, they suggested I go to a chrysler dealer since it was still unde warranty. They did nothing, tightening up the bearings so the wheels wouldnt wobble and sent me on my way, saying it's just normal. Tires are still wearing out on outer edges. Paint started peeling along roof edges after a couple of years. When I verbaly complained to chrysler, they said acid rain is causing this problem and they will do nothing to correct auto transmission has been making clunking noises when I shift from park to neutral and drive. That is only some of my tale of woe.
Consumer states that the steering is ovaled out. Mr
Delamination of tread and belt for 1/2+ of circumferance caused $850.00 vehicle damage. *ak( dot number: vdhl tire size: p235/75r15 )
The metal on the door where the latch mechanism attaches is cracking. Problem is worse on the driver's side. Van was taken to the dealership, and problem has not been corrected.
The serpentine belt will disengage from the engine, causing loss of steering ability. *ak while first starting vehicle and putting into reverse, loud noises came from the serpentine belt area, dealer replaced faulty serpentine belt.
