| On 08-21-01 our truck was in for repairs to the steering column. at that time we asked the service representative if there was a recall on the driver side air bag and they said no. i saw on the news about 2 months ago that there was a recall on the 2000 dodge ram quad cab. the abs did not work because we slid about 70 to 100 feet. we did go to the place the truck was purchased and told them that the air bags nor did the abs work they had no comment. i want someone to investigate and find out if the service department or the manufacturer is responsible for these things not working. *ak | |||

| I had my brakes overhauled and had to have the rotors exchanged because of a defect the manufacturer knew about but failed to notify consumers. the brake rotors are machined to such close tolorances, that they would have to be changed at the first repairs. i have talked to service people whom have had them changed at less than 30 k miles. i feel an recall should be made by the manufacturer or the extra money refunded by the manufacturer.*ak | |||

| Excessive wear on rotors that i believe is unsafe and a manufacturers defect - minimum allowable rotor spec is 1.215 - right side is 1.166, left side is 1.164 - original pads still have more than 1/8 inch on each of the 4 pads - i was going to have pads chaged on 7/28 and that is when i was advised that the rotors had to be replaced - i never had a vehicle that wore out the original rotors before the original pads ever wore out - i shoul be able to true rotors once or twice before having to replace the rotors as long as the pads do not wear out before replacing same - manufacturer will do nothing - claims that the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty is their total responsibility in this matter - i disagree.*ak | |||
