2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Review
"The midyear return of Chrysler's fabled Hemi V8 engine highlights 2003 for Dodge's full-size pickup. This report covers the half-ton Ram 1500 models, which offer two body styles: a 2-dr regular cab and the Quad Cab 4-dr crew cab. Both come in ST and uplevel SLT trim and with cargo beds of 6.3 ft or 8 ft. A 40/20/40 split bench is the only front seat available. Quad Cabs offer a folding 3-passenger rear bench. Front and rear curtain side airbags are optional for both cabs.
The base engine is a 3.7-liter V6. V8s of 4.7 and 5.7 liters are available. The 5.7 is the Hemi, named for its hemispherically shaped combustion chambers. Its ancestors were last used in early 1970s Chrysler muscle cars. Available as an option on all models, the 345-hp Hemi replaces a 245-hp 5.9 V8 in the Ram lineup. It comes only with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The V6 and 4.7 V8 offer manual transmission or a 4- or 5-speed automatic, respectively. All Rams are available with rear-wheel drive or 4WD that must be disengaged on dry pavement but includes low-range gearing. 4WD Rams have independent front suspension. Four-wheel disc brakes with rear ABS are standard; 4-wheel ABS is optional. SLT models offer power-adjustable pedals with both manual and automatic transmission. Standard 17-inch wheels and optional 20s are available. New for '03: a Work Special package as a $400 credit option for ST models, an optional Off-Road Group for 4WD SLTs, and a name change from SLT Plus to Laramie for Ram's top-line trim-option package.

| Summary | Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2003-2005 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500, 2004-2005 Dodge Durango, 2005 Dodge Dakota, 2005 Dodge Magnum and 2005 Chrysler 300, 300C and 300 SRT8 vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in geographic locations associated with high absolute humidity. Specifically, vehicles sold, or ever registered, in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Saipan, Guam, and American Samoa are addressed by this recall. Upon deployment of the passenger side frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture. |
| Consequence | In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger side frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants. |
| Remedy | Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator, free of charge. For vehicles that were sold, or are currently registered, in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, owners were notified and the recall began on December 5, 2014. For all other vehicles, Chrysler will notify owners and the recall will begin on, or around, early February 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P40 Expanded. Note: This recall supersedes the passenger air bag portion of recall 14V-354. |
| Notes | Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. |
