POWER TRAIN
THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN APRIL OF 2013 BUT IT DID NOT FIX IT. THE COMPLETE REAR PINION AND WHEEL BEARING GEARS WENT OUT. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT LITHIA DODGE IN SANTA FE SAID THAT BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN INSPECTED IN APRIL IT WAS OK. NOT THE CASE. ALL OF THESE MODELS NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR A COMPLETE NEW REAR END. LIVES WILL BE LOST IF THIS ISN'T DONE. ALSO, CHRYSLER MUST TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL REPAIRS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REAR END EVEN IF IT WAS INSPECTED AND APPROVED TO BE OK. IT ISN'T .

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
ON 11-8-14, I TOOK A 2010 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK IN FOR ENGINE REPAIRS. THE MECHANIC NOTED BOTH FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS NEEDED REPLACED. A SEARCH FOR THE NEEDED PARTS REVEALED NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST 30 TO 60 DAYS. FOUR WEEKS LATER ON 12-5-14, A FLUID LEAK WAS NOTED FROM THE FRONT END. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE SEAL NEEDED REPLACED IMMEDIATELY, DUE TO A HEAVY LEAK.THE NORMAL REPAIR WOULD INVOLVE REPLACING THE LOWER FRONT BALL JOINT TO ENTER THE AXLE TO GET TO THE SEAL. THIS COULD NOT BE DONE SINCE NO LOWER FRONT BALL JOINTS COULD BE FOUND TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. THE MECHANIC ACCESSED THE AXLE SEAL BY GOING THRU THE TOP OF THE AXLE. THE SEAL WILL AGAIN HAVE TO BE REPLACED WHEN LOWER BALL JOINTS BECOME AVAILABLE, AT A COST OF AN ADDITIONAL $150. THIS SITUATION PRESENTS A RISK TO THE DRIVER AND MOTORING PUBLIC, SINCE THE NECESSARY PARTS CAN NOT BE SOURCED. IT CREATES A RISK THAT THE LUBRICATING FLUID INSIDE THE AXLE WILL LEAK OUT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE AXLE "TYING UP," CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL AND CRASH. CHRYSLER WILL NOT, OR CAN NOT MAKE THE NECESSARY PARTS AVAILABLE TO ITS DEALERS OR INDEPENDENT MECHANICS. THERE ARE ALSO NO "AFTER-MARKET" PARTS ON THE MARKET THAT COULD BE USED TO SAFELY COMPLETE REPAIRS. *TR

THE LAST SEVERAL TIMES GAS WILL ACTUALLY SPIT OR COME OUT OF THE TANK OVERFLOWING. I HAVE TRIED FILLING THE TANK SLOWLY BY HAND AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
OUR 2010 DODGE RAM 1500 RECENTLY DEVELOPED AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD. THE NOISE GOES AWAY ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP. FROM MY ONLINE RESEARCH THIS IS APPARENTLY A PROBLEM WITH DODGE RAMS AND I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE BUT SINCE WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY WE HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. SINCE THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PARTS AND THEY HAVE HAD REPEATED COMPLAINTS, I'M WONDERING WHY DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (N49) ON THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2013. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY OF 2014 AS REQUESTED. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. STILL NO REPAIR WAS MADE BY MAY OF 2014. I CONTACTED THE RECALL PHONE NUMBER SUPPLIED WITH THE NOTICE. THEY THEN SET ME UP WITH ANOTHER DEALER. WHICH I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THEM ALSO TO CONFIRM THE PROBLEM. LONG STORY SHORT. HERE IT IS THE 17TH OF NOVEMBER AND I STILL DON'T HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHEN I WILL HAVE THE WORK DONE. THIS MAKES ALMOST A YEAR OF WAITING, AND TWO(2) DEALERSHIPS OF DEALING WITH. *TR
