1999 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 4x4 Sport review from North America
"Junk.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 1999 Dodge Ram Pickup 4x4 Sport model has had the transmission replaced at 5 1/2yrs old and 37238 miles; $2500.
6 months later it needed a new computer board put in; $700 parts and labor.
Here are the problems my truck has been through.
By the way I have only 48,000 miles on it.
Transmission replacement.
Computer board replacement.
Radio doesn't work right.
Brake line is broken.
Needs ball joints.
Needs right side wheel bearing.
Roof leaks somewhere as water gets in and can smell mold.
Evaporator core replaced.
Reported brake problems 3 times, but nothing can be found (brakes go to floor when trying to stop sometimes).
Speakers need to be replaced from not working.
Main oil seal replaced.
General comments?
Anyone looking to buying a Dodge Pickup - stay away...
I will never buy a Dodge again.
Everyone still thinks my truck is new. The truck has been babied.
