This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. I noticed a strong gas smell and found that the plastics fuel rail was spraying gas onto the intact manifold. This was located on the drivers side by the firewall. I took it to the dealer and I was told that the part was superseded by a new design and it would take a week to get the parts.
Passenger side exterior mirror is defective. It will not remain stationary and move around in the wind. Within the first week of ownership, a smell of fuel became increasing stronger and a whining sound upon takeoff became louder. I found the leak at the end of the driver's side plastic! fuel rail next to the fire wall above the intake manifold. This started after outside temperature reached 1 degree Fahrenheit. Fuel falls directly onto a really hot motor. Fog lights, cruise control and horn does not work.
