STEERING
AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45MPH THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY WOBBLES AND RENDERS THE STEERING ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED WITH THIS "BUY BACK" PROGRAM BUT IT IS ONLY FOR 2008 AND NEWER MODEL YEARS. I'M NOT LOOKING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE BOUGHT BACK BUT I DO WANT THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AS WELL AS NUMEROUS REPAIR SHOPS TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED AND AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT AND MULTIPLE PARTS REPLACED THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS . UPDATED 12/18/15*LJ *CN

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH TIRES. SEPARATING ON 3 TIRES OUT OF SET OF 4. THE NEXT 4 TIRES DEVELOPED BUBBLES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. TRUCK BOUNCES DOWN THE ROAD. SPEED DOESNT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR BUT MORE OBVIOUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. TRUCK HAS STALLED ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS WHICH ARE VERY CLOSE TO MY HOUSE. I FINALLY GOT THE NUT RECALL AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD NO PARTS. FINALLY IT WAS DONE 2 WEEKS AGO. WHILE THERE I INQUIRED ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS TOLD THEY WERENT AWARE OF IT, THAN THEY SAID WE HAVE TO ORDER PARTS . I WAS HOPING THE NUT RECALL WOULD SOLVE THE BOUNCE ISSUE IT HAS NOT. I AM AFRAID YET ANOTHER SET OF TIRES WILL BE YET A WASTE OF MORE MONEY I DONT HAVE, AND STILL SCARED OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN WHEN WHAT IS CAUSING THE BOUNCE FINALLY BREAKS. THIS IS A 2005 DODGE 1500 QUAD CAB 2 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE I BOUGHT NEW. IT REPLACED A DODGE SPORT QUAD CAB 4X4 WHICH WAS STOLEN, ALSO BOUGHT NEW IN 1998. I NEVER BOUNCED IN MY 4X4 WHICH I WOULD THINK WOULD BE A ROUGHER RIDE. BRAKES ARE ALSO A ISSUE. FRONT BRAKES TO BE EXACT. THEY GO THROUGH THEM QUICK. AT LEAST 5 SETS, SOME WITH ROTORS ON A VEHICLE WHICH JUST TURNED 80,000 MILES. THESE ARE THE HEAVY DUTY ONES AS WELL. I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD GET BETTER MILAGE. DOESNT SEEM TO MATTER.
