Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 1995 Dodge Ram owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
Was driving at approximately 40-45 MPH when driver was blinded by sun which caused consumer to run off road hit 6 foot wall sand bank. Driver's airbag did not deploy, causing the driver to hit windshield. Airbag never came on to indicate that there was a problem with it. Manufactuer has been contacted.
I was watering my lawn on sun. Aug 6..temp outside was approx. 78 degrees..inside temp of my truck was approx. 85 degrees ( windows down). The water from the hose sprayed my windshield for approx. 5 seconds, when all of a sudden I heard a crack. My windshield cracked at eye level from the drivers side, then proceeded to the top of the windshield in the centre, then back down on the passenger side ( total crack approx. 2 -3 feet in length). The windshield had no visible cracks or fractures to attribute to this problem. I did notice in your reports from others..someone report a windshiel defect on July 6/00. Two chrylser dealerships says it happens due to sudden temp. Changes..I am not satisfied with this answer or the possiblilty of it happening to a replacement windshield ??
While driving and when brakes were applied they did not hold, pedal went all the way to the floor, consumer stated the vehicle coasted through a red light through a busy intersection, this was caused by a hole in the brake line, which was the result of the way the brake line was assembled. Consumer stated the 4x4 did not work, the tire blew out, there was a water leak and the carpet had to be replaced twice, the rear window was replaced, the rear brakes never worked, the radio was inoperative, the hood light flickered while driving, and also vehicle experienced transmission problems.
When the brakes are applied to slow down the vehicle pulls to the left. Consumer states that sometimes vehicle will pull slightly and sometimes it will pull so bad that the vehicle will turn a corner on its own, this has been an ongoing problem since two months after purchase. Transmission has leaked three times. Radio broke. Power windows failed. Fuel pump failed. Knocking noise in engine. Weather stripping falling off.
Pe99031, defective wiring harness, caused malfunctioning of the ignition switch. Also power window would not operate/ airbag light stayed on/ air conditioner fan malfunctioned, and the wires were melted together, which May have caused a fire. Please provide further information.
Purchased truck new at 9,000 miles and replaced the transmission and the two back drums , there is a leak rear window of the truck, sometimes power window doesn't work . Please describe .
When driving at highway speeds the wipers will lose contact of the windshield. The dealer and manufacturer have been notified.
Crack has developed on windshield and spreading due to possible stress. No evidence of a rock or other object causing crack. Kt
Drivers side view mirror vibrates so that at night driver can't tell difference between one car or several.
Winshield cracked - believe this a manufacturer's defect. I've read about other people having this problem.
