What 1998 Dodge Ram owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Consumer states that the rear end failed while driving 50 MPH. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information. Mr
While driving consumer heard a whining sound from rearend. Mechanic determined rear bearing had gone out, and rear axle had to be replaced.
The vehicle vibrates (up/down) severely in the 40-45mph and 60-65mph range. Since the original tires were fairly worn, new tires were purchased and were force balanced by the dealership. The problem still persists with no solution in sight. Correspondence with daimler/chrysler has not raised any concern or interest on their part. There is currently one other complaint in the odi database identical to this one.
Consumers vehicle ran into a trailer on his property and ABS was defective, also brake drums were rusted, dealership was aware of problem. *ak consumer stated that headache bar and fuel tank, tires, fuel filter, steering stabilizer, front shocks, rear shocks, air filter, rear axle seal and fluid, rear transfer case seal and u-joints in rear drive shaft failed and replaced.
When applying brakes downhill and going over a bump on pavement ABS system releases. Will not grab again until vehicle is on level ground. Taken to dealer 3 times, said vehicle operated as it should, and ABS system was fine.*ak disconnecting speed sensor, eliminates the problem, but it is potentially dangerous.
Vehicle was going 10-15mph onto an exit ramp and back end started swaying left and right. Road was dry. Consumer let off gas and tapped the brakes lightly, and shortly vehicle came to a stop.
Front coil springs broke which has caused the front in of the vehicle to float, and is very unstable when driving at any speeds. Consumer has contacted dealer, dealer has yet to determine cause of problem. Please provide any further details.
While driving at any speed and without prior warning vehicle sways all over the road,pulling extremely to right or left, cause unknown. Dealer replaced track bar. Please give any further details.
