STEERING
I'VE ONLY OWNED THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AT THIS TIME. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO I EXPERIENCED WHAT MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN TO BE THE DODGE DEATH WOBBLE, THIS IS WHERE ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT FREEWAY SPEED AND THE FRONT END OSCILLATES VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT STOP WITHOUT SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN AND RADICALLY MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL FROM CENTER (STRAIGHT LINE). IF LEFT TO "WOBBLE" IT SEEMS THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE ITSELF TO DEATH!! MAYBE EVEN BREAK A STEERING/SUSPENSION COMPONENT. I DID TRY INSTALLING THE ENHANCED BRACE THAT TIES THE SWAY BAR MOUNTS/ANCHOR POINTS TO A NEW BEARING SUPPORTING AN EXTENSION ON THE PITTMAN ARM SHAFT AND I ALSO HAD THE FRONT END COMPONENTS CHECKED, ALIGNED AND TIRES BALANCED TO NO AVAIL, THOUGH THE BRACE KIT SEEMED TO HELP. IT IS HARD TO PREDICT WHEN A BUMP IN THE ROAD WILL SET IT OFF BUT THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I BARELY KEPT IT FROM PULLING INTO THE NEXT LANE BEFORE I GOT IT SLOWED AND CONTROLLED. I NOW TRY TO MINIMIZE MY TIME ON THE FREEWAY IN MY COMMUTE TO/FROM WORK.

WHILE DRIVING EITHER PULLING OUR 30FT 5TH WHEEL OR WHILE NOT TOWING, HIT ROUGH SPOT IN ROAD TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IS HARD TO CONTROL EVEN BRAKING!

BACK AGAIN FOR SAME SCENARIO AS IT OCCURS MORE OFTEN! TRUCK IS ALWAYS IN MOTION AND BETWEEN 45 & 65MPH WHEN THIS OCCURS BOTH COUNTRY ROADS AND FREEWAY/HIGHWAY! THIS IS A SERIOUS UNCONTROLLABLE SCENARIO THAT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT FOR DRIVER AND OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. EUGENE, OR

BOUGHT NEW. HAD ONLY HAD FEW MONTHS AND ENTIRE DASH HAD TO BE PULLED BECAUSE AIR CONDITIONING COIL EXPLODED AND COATED WINDSHIELD WITH OIL CAUSING DRIVER TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE. VEHICLE WAS KEPT 2 WEEKS FOR THIS. SINCE THEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR NON WORKING AIR CONDITIONER MULTIPLE TIMES AND I AM HAVING TO PAY $100 EACH TIME TO GET SHOP TO EVEN LOOK AT IT AND IT STILL ISN'T WORKING. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT REPAIR PROBLEM. I PAID $2600 FOR MAX CARE WARRANTY AND SHOP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE IT. STILL SAME PROBLEM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY A CENT BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS EXISTED SINCE VEHICLE WAS NEW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2011 RAM 1500 SPORT WITH TIPM-7. VEHICLE STARTED HAVING PROBLEM STARTING, I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A LOSS IN FUEL PRESSURE. REPLACED FUEL PUMP. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCH FOUND OUT THIS TRUCK HAS TIPM-7. REPAIR SHOP VERIFIED THIS. THE INJECTORS WERE CHECKED AND WERE FINE. ENGINE RUNS PERFECTLY AFTER START. DIAGNOSIS FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. THE SAME FUEL PUMP RELAY THAT CHRYSLER RECALLED 230,000 VEHICLES IN 2014 AND AN ADDITIONAL 467,000 VEHICLES IN 2015. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER FIX THEIR SCREW UPS?

ENGINE
I HAVE A DODGE RAM 1500. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DOING ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND THE TRUCK DIED! I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO COAST ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE SHOULDER. AFTER DOING A QUICK SEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE SAME ENGINE IN THE SAME YEAR BUT ONLY IF ITS IN A CHARGER, CHALLENGER OR A 300(THE RECALL IS CALLED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION P01, SEE ATTACHED) . THE FAILURE I EXPERIENCED IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CARS. I WAS DOING HIGHWAY SPEED IN FUEL SAVING MODE AND WHEN THE ENGINE AUTOMATICALLY KICKS INTO 8 CYLINDER MODE THE TIMING CHAIN BRAKES. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THE ENGINE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL BECAUSE ITS IN A TRUCK NOT A CAR. WHEN THE CHAIN BREAKS IN ONE OF THESE ENGINES IT COMPLETELY DESTROYS THE PISTONS AND VALVES. I NEED NEW ENGINE! THIS IS VERY UNSAFE FLAW IN THIS ENGINE AND THE RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO ALL ENGINES OF THIS MODEL INCLUDING THE ONES IN RAM TRUCKS. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER IM CERTAIN THAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ANYONE WITH LESS EXPERIENCE THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) ACTUATOR GEARS ON MY VEHICLE HAVE BROKEN, RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO FULLY CONTROL THE HVAC FUNCTIONS. THERE WAS A K17 RECALL FOR MODELS: 2009-2010 (DS) RAM TRUCK (1500 SERIES) 2010 (DJ) RAM TRUCK (2500 SERIES), 2010 (D2) RAM TRUCK (3500 SERIES) NOTE: THIS RECALL ONLY APPLIED TO THE ABOVE VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH MAY 22, 2010 (MDH 05222010). MY VEHICLE IS 2010 AND WAS MADE AFTER MAY 22 (I BELIEVE IN JULY) I THINK THIS RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2010 RAM 1500 VEHICLES AS MINE IS AFFECTED BUT CURRENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION, ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES MUST HAVE UPDATED HVAC CONTROL HEAD SOFTWARE INSTALLED AND THE MODE DOOR ACTUATORS MUST BE TESTED AND REPLACED AS REQUIRED. HOW CAN I HAVE MY 2010 VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM.
