What 1998 Dodge Ram owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
A small crack was developing on rearview window going down towards driver's side. Consumer has contacted dealer, who agreed to correct the problem. Please provide any further details.
After a major rainstorm, I discovered that both front and rear windshields leak. Dealer says this is not a warranty part. I believe this to be a manufacturer's defect.
Heater core failed. Was driving when it bursted & fogged up windshield without warning. This caused a hazard of poor visibility for driver. This has happened 5 times, and had been replaced each time.
I bought the dodge june 1998, from the first month I have had problems.I had both front side windows fall down, wiper blade linkage breaks, engine surges, door lights won't come on, the air conditioning blower/motor shorted out, and the interior lights/tv/vcp/cd player will shut off at times. Everything except the interior equipment has been corrected, they still short out. The problem with electrical shorts has expanded. On the way home from vacation just outside of st. Louis on interstate 44, we were passing a diesel truck going about 70 MPH with another diesel truck following us when the engine shuts off. Lucky for us the truck behind us was paying attention. The truck came within inches of hitting us, if it did my whole family could have been killed. My son managed to pull the van over to the side of the road. We had aaa tow the van to a dodge dealer in bourbon, mo. The next day the machanic found the problem. The asd 20amp fuse blew, the asd fuse is located uder the hood in the power distribution center. The asd fuse handles engine controls/fuel pump. The dealership in burbon could not find the problem, but he did give us extra fuses to get us home. We had to stop at walmarks to buy extra fuses. On the way home the asd fuse blew out 4 times. When we got back home, I took the van back to the dealer where I bought it for repair, cumberland valley motors, they answered with their stock quote, unable to duplicate at this time. I don't know if the asd fuse blew out due to engine heat, bad wiring, or if the interior control panel which handles the interior lights/tv/vcp has a short in it. The vehicle is dangerous to drive and if I have this problem, then their might be other dodge vans with the same problem. How many accidents happened already or will happen?
Indshield wiper fluid froze into one block, and driver was not able to apply to the windshield. Driver ran off the road due to poor visibility. Dealer says that water was in fluid.
Automatic transmission has slipped and failed to engage since purchase. Have returned to dealer more than once and was told nothing wrong. Iwas told that my foot on the gas pedal is faster than the computer working the trans.
1. Mirror vibration on drivers side to the degree that you cannot see to make safe lane changes. 2. Alarm inoperable at times and dome light does not iluminate so you cannot see if someone is hiding in your vehicle. 3. Rough ride 4. Popping noise in front suspension 5. Nuts that hold down the seats damaged when carpet repaired 6. Brake failure while pulling our boat 7. Pinging noise in engine like it is about to blow up
Left and right mirrors vibrate excessively, and make them useless above 35 MPH
