My 18 year old son bought a new dodge srt-4 and 3 weeks later lost his life in an accident while driving this vehicle. It is a very fast and unsafe car. The car was not made well enough for such high speed that it was capable off. It should have never been made ,and especially sold to such a young person. Everyone needs to be informed about this vehicle and the terrible consequences that occur when driving it the way dodge presented it to the public.
I was driving south at around 30 MPH in my 2005 dodge grand caravan. The other vehicle traveling north turned left in front of me, and I was not able to stop. The airbag did not deploy, and the owner of the automobile shop that fixed it noticed that the wire to the airbag seemed to have been ripped off in the course of the crash.
2005 dodge ram 3500 st reg cab 4x2 (this make not available under vehicle information) truck jumped out of gear into reverse while in park at a gas station and hit a pole by the gas pump causing damage to the rear bumper and tailgate. It then shifted gear into drive and went forward hitting a pole by the front door of the store damaging the front bumper, hood, and air conditioner compressor. The park light now does not light up when in the park position.
