2000 Dodge Ram 1500 sport quad cab has a frame that is rusted all the way down the rails and look like they are going to rot through and I don't think they it should be rotting like that a have a 2001 Saturn that has no where near the rust that the truck does and I never washed the frame on the car during the winter with all the salt on the roads it has not gotten all the way through yet but its only a matter of a little time when the engine mounts could break off or the frame could break in half.

Ram 1500 4WD 8-cyl

  • 75,000 miles
2000 Dodge Ram 1500 dashboard completely destroyed. No off roading in vehicle ever. Normal driving conditions. Problem started at around 75,000 miles. Dodge told me to buy some epoxy and that I was on my own. Mechanic cannot put back together after I had heater serviced. Dashboard must be removed in order to access all of the necessary components for servicing the heater. Spoke with Chrysler and they agreed it was defective and wanted to charge me $1000 to repair.

Tire is cut into on left turns and U turns by A-frame. Returned to weisner (Dodge dealer nearest my home) they informed me it was a problem with the 2000 Dodge Ram pickups. They told me the only thing I could do was have the A-frame ground with a grinder. I the took it to the dealer I purchased it from and they told me it was a Dodge problem and they would contact them. When I didn't hear from them I contacted Dodge myself and they told me there was nothing they could do to fix it. The last dealer (dowell motors) even put a new truck on the rack next to mine and it does the same thing. Truck is still under warranty. If not careful not to make sharp turns I will cut through entire sidewall of my tire. Have rotated several times
