Several cracks all along dash board from window seal to front of airbag/vent sections, when I showed the dealer who I bought it from, they brushed me off like I was complaining of cosmetic damage. I consider these cracks a manufacturer defect that hold vital components if I or my passengers were ever in a wreck, my vehicle interior was in excellent condition when I bought it from the used lot in October 2001, I can't say the same for the mechanics. The first day I had to return it for the harmonic balancer, then the emerg brake light stayed on, then the ABS brake light which lead to replacement of drums, rotors, and calipers. In Feb 2003 I had to take it in for windshield wiper motor burn out, and this last month the waterpump went out. Can you advise me as to what is normal wear and tear and what parts aren't supposed to have to be replaced on a vehicle that now has 82,000 miles and regular upkeep" and if the sound of air blowing thru loose metal is what my truck should sound like when I accelerate from a normal stop" thank you for your time, amber.
Poor workmanship at 58,000 miles my personal (not used for hauling) use 1999 Dodge Ram pickup had the water pump, radiator, front brake rotors, evaporator fail. Cost over $3000.
Since vehicle was purchased noticed brake stopping distance was extended. Complained to dealer, who advised that only has anti-lock brakes on the rear of vehicle. Dealer diagnosed both front and rear pads being okay, but rotors worn out.
Brakes made terrible squeaking sounds, a technician stated that the brakes were installed incorrectly at the factory, the rotors in the rear were cracked, however the front brakes were not in need of repair.
Took vehicle to dealer to get car inspected, and mechanic said brakes were shot and so were the rotors. Consumer never experienced any problem while driving, not even a warning.
