My Dodge Ram truck has been one problem after another. It's great when it is running (few and far). I guess you get what you pay for. The Dodge Ram is still the best value; but I do not think Ford guys have this issue. The linkage broke on my transmission, so I had to manually go underneath the truck and shift into gear while the emergency brake was engaged in my suit. Poor quality. I will still buy American, but the guys who make Dodge truck parts wake up. This is why we are losing auto market share; lack of pride in their work or too much cutting cost or both!
