problem #3

Feb 232004

Ram 2500 6-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 53,430 miles
Windshield wipers became intermittent at best and then would not work at all on any speed. After a few minutes they would move an inch or two. With all the rain we have been having this is very dangerous.

problem #2

Apr 012002

Ram 2500 8-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 25,831 miles
The brakes locked up, which caused consumer to pump the brakes. The brakes would lock up when the weather was damp, when not in use for an extended period and when using four wheel drive all the wheels would lock up. This would only happen at temperatures of 32 degrees or colder. The manufacturer was notified and referred the consumer to the dealer for repairs. The transmission leaked at the rear output seal extension housing leaked at the case split silicone seal, the rear transmission seal leaked on the extended housing seal at the transfer case, the radio control had become inoperative, the wipers shorted out, and the fog light switch had gone bad.
