The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 57
Against the median year of the Dodge RAM VAN. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.

0% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 1996 Dodge RAM VAN
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Recalls on the 1996 Dodge RAM VAN
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 199902612,845 units in Canada
Seats And Restraints
On certain vehicles, the air bag electronic control module (AECM) will corrode if water/road salt is introduced onto the interior floor in the proximity of the AECM. The resulting corrosion of the AECM could cause the driver's side air bag to deploy inadvertently. Correction: Dealers will replace the existing AECM with one that is sealed from moisture intrusion.
Recall 1997159438 units in Canada
Emissions
Certain vehicles have been built with an incorrect Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECIi) label. The label incorrectly identifies the engine family and emission system bar code information, and as a result, may cause the vehicle to fail an emissions test. Correction: Correct vehicle emission control information label and installation instructions will be mailed to owners.
Recall 199709650,846 units in Canada
Powertrain
On certain vehicles, the transmission fluid temperature could exceed the melting point of the connector which retains the fluid line to the transmission. Should this occur, the fluid line may become disconnected from the transmission and fluid may spray onto the exhaust manifold, possibly resulting in a fire. Correction: The connector fittings on the high temperature side of the transmission fluid cooler line will be replaced with connectors incorporating a stainless steel retainer.
Recall 19960289 units in Canada
Other
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 110 - tire selection and rims. The tire/wheel specification information on the vehicle certification label indicates a minimum size smaller than actually required. Correction: An overlay label with the correct tire/wheel certification will be applied to affected vehicles.
Recall 1995228444 units in Canada
Electrical
On certain vehicles, the fasteners which secure the generator cartridge fuse to the Power Distribution Centre (PDC) may have an improper clamp load. Improper clamping may result in arcing at the connection which may potentially cause a fire in the engine compartment. Correction: Generator cartridge fuse fasteners will be properly tightened.

WE SUBMITTED A LETTER TO CHRYSLER ASKING FOR A "GOODWILL REPAIR REFUND" AND HAD A PHONE CALL FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER, AL WILLIAMS, STATING THAT THE THREE (3)YEAR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. WE HAD EXPLAINED THAT OUR LEISURE TRAVEL VAN WITH A DODGE V8 360 ENGINE ONLY ON 31,365 ON THE TRANSMISSION. HE SAID IT DID NOT MATTER. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FROM CHRYSLER STATED THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN A TRANSMISSION "CHEWED UP" LIKE OURS. WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO CHRYSLER ASKING FOR A LETTER STATING EXACTLY WHY THEY WERE DENYING OUR REQUEST FOR A "GOODWILL REPAIR REFUND". WE HAVE HAD NO CALLS RETURNED AND CAN NOT REACH THEIR CUSTOMER NUMBER BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS BUSY. ON LINE "ASK" QUESTIONS NEVER RESPOND TO A QUESTION.

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
MOVEABLE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS SLIP WITH SHUTTING DOORS AND WITH TRAVEL AT HIGHWAY SPEED (>45 MPH). I (OWNER) ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR INITIAL SLIPPAGE BY TIGHTENING SCREWS. MIRRORS SOON BEGAN SLIPPING AGAIN, AND VEHICLE WAS PAST 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. SCREW THREADS ARE NOW STRIPPED, MIRRORS WON'T MAINTAIN POSITION. DEALER RECOMMENDS PURCHASING TWO NEW MIRROR ASSEMBLIES (EXACT SAME STYLE) FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. MANUFACTURER REJECTED REQUEST TO PAY FOR INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT MIRRORS FROM ALTERNATE SOURCE. NOTE: I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 1987 DODGE VAN WHICH SUFFERED THE SAME PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH NOT QUITE AS SEVERELY. THE PROBLEM IS CLEARLY DUE TO A LONG-TERM FAILURE OF CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE DESIGN. ABSENCE OF WORKING SIDE VIEW MIRRORS REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD, ALTHOUGH IN THIS CASE NO ACCIDENT HAS YET RESULTED.
