2003 Dodge Ram Pickup Sport review from North America
"Must have been built on a Friday after long lunch.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission went out at about 3000 miles, and that's only the beginning, the oxygen sensor went out a few times also.
General comments?
The Dodge Ram was a great looking truck it just didn't appeal to me, as the owner of a vehicle that was not reliable. The transmission went out at about 3000 miles, and then I just kept having relapses, and it was never the same. at about 13000 miles the whole electrical system had a stroke or heart attack of some sort, it would just cut off in the middle of driving on the freeway, or going up hill. The last repair I fixed was the whole instrument panel went out on a rainy day and the windshield wipers stopped working on my way to work, to say the least I called in sick and went to the dealer to repair my money pit, not to badger Dodge Corp., but a nightmare for me...
