What owners wrote
On march 23, 2003 I was in the process of getting in my 2003 dodge 1500 quad cab. The "a-pillar" with the grab handle on it came loose from the truck(the plastic cracked and went over the bolts holding it on.) I fell back and struck my head on the drivers door and then again struck my head on the ground. I suffered a subdural hematoma and was flown by helicopter to st. Louis for surgery. My family was told to tell me bye on two different occasions because e doctors thought I was going to die.
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 dodge ram 1500 quad (na). The contact stated that when he rolled both rear windows down, the noise level was very high. The headlinger in the ceiling shook and caused the vehicle to shake as well. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the vehicle was designed that way and it could not be repaired. The failure mileage was 32,962.
