The contact owns a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500. While driving 35 mph in the rain, the windows fogged up. The defogger switch and air conditioner would not switch over to defrost the windows. The contact went to the dealer and they stated that it was a damper door in the air vent, which tells the air whether to flow towards the door or the floor. If the door breaks, there is nowhere for the air to flow. Tsb number 24-004-03 was referenced. The dealer stated that this was an electrical failure, which only covered 12,000 miles; therefore, the contact has to pay for the repairs. The failure mileage was 45,130. Updated 11/12/08.

Several cracks have spread across the dash. No reason for these to have happened and the last one seemed to have completely formed in a day or so. Also have intermittent electrical problems, which from the many reports on the internet seem to be common.

On 2003 and up Dodge Ram 2500 trucks the fuse box(power distribution center) is prone to either corrode or otherwise fail. On my vehicle some of the lights failed and the power to the trailer brake also. When the pdc failed it also damaged the front control module which control many of the trucks significant functions. Almost all vehicle electrics go through the pdc so on any given failure critical vehicle safety items may be compromised. I checked for similar problems online and found quite a few. Currently with this part there are 189 of them backordered through Dodge which supports a serious issue with them I was lucky I noticed there was no power to the brakes before an accident, but that may not have been the case.

Truck started and idled rough, turned off truck and restarted but would not continue to run. Had the truck towed to dealer was told desiel fuel was mixed in gas tank. I run a major lawn service and have had absoultely no problems with any equipment failures due to fuel problems! the station where I buy my gas doesn't even carry desiel fuel. So far the dealer wants to drain gas tank clean fuel injectors, replace sparkplugs.
