1999 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Quad Cab review from North America
"It's OK, but I believe Dodge could do better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side mirror shakes at highways speeds.
Passenger's side speaker quit working.
Dash light reostat gets extremely hot.
Front brake calipers stick and eat thru brakes.
Braking power is poor.
Center console sticks sometimes and won't fold forward.
When adjusting brightness of dash lights, the stereo clocks flashes extremely bad.
Driver's side door hinge is weak and needs repaired.
Paint chips easily.
Front bumper plastic has broken off.
Tailgate is weak and flattened due to hauling wood. Now I need a new tailgate.
General comments?
Good four wheel drive system.
Front tie downs in bed are in a poor location.
Service from dealerships is very poor. I have and extended warranty which I purchased and the dealer never fixes anything I point out to them.
