1999 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1500 review from North America
"A piece of garbage, not worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Repaired the transmission twice.
Had the 4x4 transfer case repaired once.
Have had ongoing brake problems, still not fixed.
Anti-lock brakes have never worked.
Abnormal oil consumption.
Worn out driver's seat.
Worn out front cup holder.
No power or low performance.
Rear end has excessive rust all over it.
Leaked antifreeze from the thermostat.
Driver'ss quad door window did not stay open.
General comments?
This truck is unreliable, and a piece of garbage. It has only been highway and city driven. It would never have stood up to any off road, farm use, taking any sort of a work load or long trips. I am too scared to try any of the above because it won't handle it.
I will NEVER have another Chrysler product. Chrysler seems to know that they have a huge problem with their trucks, but don't seem to care. I have been lucky with my brakes failing and not had an accident yet, but I had some real close calls.
