2002 Dodge RAM 1500 Equipment Mechanical Jacks Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	368024
Internal NHTSA #	763432
Manufacurer	DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 1500
Model Year	2002
File date	25/06/02
Component	EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:JACKS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The jack that is shipped with the dodge ram 1500 is way too small to handle the parge truck. I had to change a tire today for the first time. The vehicle fell off of the jack twice. The jack is a small cylinder type, with a small footprint. While jacking the rear wheel according to the instructions in the user manual, the jack slips easily because a) it has a small footprint that remains in contact with the ground, and b) the extentions used to turn the cranking mechanism on the jack are wobbly, which can cause the jack to move while raising and lowering. I researched this with several other dodge ram owners, each who have purchased separate heavy duty jacks to allocate for the insufficient standard jack that ships with the vehicle. I contact daimlerchrysler today about this issue. *ak
