1995 dodge viper - affects 5k vehicles from 92-95. Faulty head gaskets. Dodge redesigned their original paper based head gasket after learning of failures where coolant was leaking. Replacement gaskets are multilayered metal design. Dozens if not hundreds of cars received replacement gaskets under warranty programs. Recall was never issued to address remaining vehicles. Consumer should have expected to receive product without such an obvious failure. I have dozens of owners to support the claim. My vehicle has only 4k miles on it.

Defect investigations
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.
