2001 Dodge Ram Pickup Ram 1500 Quad Cab Sport review from North America

Transmission went out at 35,000 miles. (typical and expected).

Brake pads were worn by 20,000 miles.

Overdrive off hasn't worked since the first transmission job.

At 75,000 miles the transmission went again and this time I invested in a lifetime warranty... which they'll likely have to honor in about 30000-40000 more miles.

Numerous warranty repairs were made on things from the belt tensioner, to the transmission speed sensor, the transfer case failed to engage at one point. The ABS had to be repaired.

The whole Powertrain Control Module died at 90000 miles and had to be replaced at my local Dodge dealer.

The rear axle has had numerous repairs done to it and it still whines.

The plastic air filter box has deteriorated on the inside, at one point a piece of plastic came off while I was driving and fell in to the throttle body leaving it wide open. (ie. My truck's gas pedal went all the way down and I had to hit the brakes and downshift from drive to second to first and then park in order to avoid a collision)

Lots of problems, the the plastic air box falling apart and pieces of plastic from it getting lodged in the throttle body is a definite safety concern. This truck has no power, none, you would think for the 9-10 miles to the gallon it achieves in the city it would at least have some balls, but it doesn't. The 5.9 liter only offers 245 horsepower, and trust me, that's on a good day, its nothing, but a waste of gas. The transmission, of course, is terrible, but that's to be expected with a Dodge. The rear end whines. The truck has rough shifts at times and offers very little passing power on the highway, which relates back to the lack luster horsepower. The looks of the truck are awesome, the interior is functional for me, but I would not buy this truck again with the problems it has had, and its utter lack of power.
