ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WIRELESS KEY NODE STOPS WORKING. THUS THE TRUNK LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN. THIS IS A VERY DANGERS CONDITION. HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. YOU CAN PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND IT RESTARTS ,DODGE KNOWS THE PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOT A THING TO FIX IT. AT $440.00 PLUS TO FIX IT I GUESS IT IS A MONEY MAKER.

SERVICE BRAKES
THREE WEEKS AGO TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO CROWN CHRYSLER DODGE IN CLEVELAND TN FOR BRAKE AND ROTOR REPLACEMENT ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. AFTER REPAIRS MADE, DRUNK DRIVEN OFF LOT AND NOTED TO HAVE A LOUD SQUEAK EVERY TIME BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED. DEALER NOTIFIED AND TOLD US TO KEEP DRIVING FOR A WEEK AND PADS AND ROTOR SHOULD MESH TOGETHER AND SQUEAK WILL GO AWAY. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN, TRUCK TAKEN BACK TO DEALER, DEALER ERIN SPECTER AND STATED COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT GROOVE IN ROTOR CAUSED BY POSSIBLY A PEBBLE. DUE TO NOT FEELING TRUTH BEING TOLD BY THIS DEALER, TRUCK TAKEN TO DODGE DEALER IN ATHENS AND HAD BREAKS INSPECTED. TO OUR DISBELIEF, WE WERE TOLD BRAKE PADS WERE FLAKING AND CHIPPING. WE CONTACTED DODGE DEALER IN CLEVELAND TN FOR A REFUND FOR FAULTY PRODUCT BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION. DODGE COORPORATE CONTACTED AND COMPLAINT FILED. CLEVELAND DEALER STATES WE HAVE THEM PERMISSION TO USE THIRD PARTY BRAKE PADS, WHICH IS NOT TRUE AND THEY HAVE YET TO PRODUCE ANY PROOF THAT THIS IS TRUE. I TOOK MY DODGE TO DEALER FOR MOPAR PARTS AND GOT THIRD PARTY DEFECTIVE PARTS. PICTURES OF THREE WEEK OLD PADS INCLUDED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
THE 08 DODGE RAM WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD CAUGHT FIRE CAUSING THE DODGE TO LOOSE ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELTY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THANK GOODNESS AND GET ALL ITS PASSENGERS OUT. THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP NOR WOULD THE ENGINE START AFTERWARDS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED,. BOTH OTHER TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WE PAID $1000 TO REPLACE THE FUSE BOX. IT HAPPENS ONCE EVERY YEAR. HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE FUSE BOX APART AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT CAUGHT FIRE. I FOUND THE FOLLOWING LINK OF OTHERS REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO THE NEWS WHICH MAY BE OUR PROBLEM.
