ENGINE
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2011 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL ON MAY 28TH 2015. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THE EARLIEST I CLOUD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WAS JUNE 15TH. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AS SCHEDULED AND UPON REVIEW THE EMISSION SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE DEALER MADE SOME REPAIRS THIS DAY - A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS I WAS TOLD AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. WHILE DRIVING HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED. THE DEALER REEXAMINED MY TRUCK THE NEXT DAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM AGAIN WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM - THIS TIME THE CO2 SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER DAY OF AND SHOULD ARRIVE AT THE DEALER IN A WEEK - IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS NOW AND MY CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN RECTIFIED. I UNDERSTAND THAT CO2 SENSORS ARE BACK ORDERED AND NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS TO THE DEALER AND DODGE TO AVAIL - I EVEN HAVE A CASE NUMBER 27426249 AND MY PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 33200 MILES ON IT.

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN STEERING AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO STUD-ER OR GET STICKY AT TIMES AS YOU TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE STEERING BUT THEY GREASED THE FRONT END, SEEMS TO BE BETTER. WHEN AT LOW OR HIGH HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND APPLYING THE BRAKES NORMALLY NOT IN A EMERGENCY STOPPING SITUATION, THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. STATED AROUND 30,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE PARKING LIGHTS OR RUNNING LIGHTS FRONT AND REAR ARE OFF AND NOT WORKING, DIRECTIONAL AND BRAKE LIGHTS SEEM FINE.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT CAUSING THE FAN BELT TO COME OFF. EVIDENTLY THE FAN BELT SYSTEM IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. HAD WE BEEN GOING A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AS WE HAD NO BRAKES. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THIS TRUCK. FORTUNATELY WE WERE GOING SLOW WHEN THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED AND WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. HOPEFULLY NO ONE ELSE HAS THE FAN BELT COME OFF. NOT ONLY THAT, I REALLY DON'T THINK A DIESEL TRUCK WITH ONLY 46000 MILES SHOULD BE THROWING A WATER PUMP. MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE MORE STUDIES DONE ON THE VEHICLES AS TO THE AMOUNT OF DANGEROUS DESIGNS IT ACTUALLY HAS.

GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY I LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL TO COAST TO A COMPLETE STOP. WITHOUT WARNING THE TRUCK SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OFF RAMP. STARTS RIGHT UP BUT MAKES A NOISE AS IF YOU WERE STARTING A COLD DIESEL ENGINE. IT'S HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS AND THE DEALER COULD FIND OR FIX THE ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TURN SIGNAL WHEN SWITCHED ACTIVATES THE OPPOSITE TURNING LIGHT. REAR TAIL TIGHT HOUSINGS ARE NOT WATER TIGHT AND BLOWS BULBS AFTER RAINING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACT ON THEIR OWN WHEN ITS RAINING AND NOW DOME AND CONSOLE LIGHTS DONT WORK. NO BLOWN FUSES. THE THIRD FUEL PUMP LINE IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK FROM VIBRATION. NEW ONES HAVE BETTER VIBRATION HOUSING AND DEALERSHIP HAD STOCK. (125 OF THESE AND NONE OTHER BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS HAVING THE SAME ONE BREAK). KEY FALLS OUT OF IGNITION AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WHEN BUTTON IS PUSHED. AIR BAGS WERE RECENTLY RECALLED BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PART TO GET IT FIXED. I MUST WAIT. VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE TO BE AN OWNER OF.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAD MY FIRST BRAND NEW TRUCK FOR ONLY ABOUT A WEEK WHEN I NOTICED A SLAPPING TO THE FLOOR PAN ON DRIVERS SIDE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER MAKING THEM GO FOR A TEST DRIVE, THEY DECIDED TO CHECK INTO IT AND FOUND THE E BRAKE CABLE LOOSE. THEIR FIX WAS TO SIMPLY REROUTE IT. THREE DAYS LATER I GOT THE TRUCK BACK WITH IT STILL DOING IT. A WHILE LATER I TOOK IT BACK IN FOR THE SAME NOISE AND REMINDED THEM WHAT THEY DID. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO WITH IT. NEXT ONE WON'T BE A DODGE.
