What 1995 Dodge Ram owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Dashboard of the 1995 dodge ram 3500 cracked and caved in. We saw a story about others on wkmg who had the same problems that we were having with our dodge.
This truck body started breaking out behind the cab soon after I bought it. The engine has never ran right from day one. It was in the dodge shop numerous times because of poor fuel milage, and then dodge finally agreed to send the truck to cummins. Cummins found that truck had bad milage also and wrote letter to dodge stating the problems they found. Dodge more or less said tough, don't bother us! The engine had boken push rod at low milage and now an injector melted top out of piston ruining the engine.
The problems are as followed: the brake light comes on when the clutch is engaged, hard to start, the bracket under dash was fractured-if this breaks, the clutch and brakes could loose control, fatigue and stress crack are visible, firewall flexes when using the clutch/lacks support, and poor quality of support bracket.
