Dodge B250

RECALL #970 WAS PREVIOUSLY FIXED BY DODGE IN 2001. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1991 DODGE RAM WAGON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIFTING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WITH AN UNSTABLE SUSPENSION. IN ADDITION, THE SPEED CONTROL AND STEERING CONTROLS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING KNUCKLES NEEDED REPLACING AND A FRONT END ALIGNMENT NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT…

WHILE PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, WE NOTICED THAT THE WELDS THAT ATTACH THE STEERING GEAR MOUNT BRACKET TO THE FRAME RAIL ARE RUSTING AND SEPARATED IN PLACES. THE BRACKET FLEXES AND WOBBLES WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. IF THAT BRACKET BREAKS LOOSE, THERE WOULD BE A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

OVER HEATING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT CAUSES TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. *TR

STEERING FAILURE AFTER ACCIDENT! 1991 DODGE B250 AMERICAN LIBERTY CONVERSION VAN 5.2L (318 V-8) CRUISE CONTROL, TILT WHEEL, AIR, POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS, AUTOMATIC WITH OVER DRIVE. AFTER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR TO SEE HOW BAD THE DAMAGE WAS TO MY VAN AND THE OTHER CAR. AFTER THE POLICE ARRIVED ON SCENE WE WANTED TO MOVE THE CARS. WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR THE MOTOR RUNNING WE TURNED THE WHEEL ONLY TO HAVE IT SNAP! I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS FAULTY OR NOT BUT ALL I COULD THINK…

NOISE WAS COMING FROM FRONT END, JACKED VAN UP AND SAW THAT RIGHT FRONT PORTION OF SUB-FRAME IS RUSTING AWAY. I WAS ALSO AT A SALVAGE YARD THIS WEEKEND AND SAW ANOTHER 94 DODGE VAN WITH THE FRAME ALMOST RUSTED COMPLETELY AWAY. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING A HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. IT STARTED THE MIDDLE OF 2007 AND IS STILL HAPPENING. I REPLACED THE SWITCH BOX IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE PROBLEM HAD STOPPED. IN JANUARY 2008 THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAPPENS MAINLY AT NIGHT, THE LIGHTS WILL BE ON THEN THEY JUST GO OUT AND SOMETIMES THEY TAKE LONGER THAN A SECOND TO COME BACK ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE AT NIGHT WHEN I DON'T HAVE LIGHTS I CANNOT SEE. ONE OF THESE TIMES, I WILL GO INTO THE DITCH. *TR

I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED SEVERAL SITES WITH MUCH INFORMATION THAT CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN FOR YEARS THAT…
