FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT EVERY FILL UP. ONCE I FILL THE TANK, FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 OR SO MILES AFTER THE FILLUP, MY TRUCK TRIES TO STALL IF I DON'T REV THE ENGINE UP REALLY HIGH.. AT STOP LIGHTS OR TURNS, IT WILL STALL COMPLETELY. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO STALL ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEED! ONCE I DRIVE 20 OR SO MILES IT STOPS. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY OWNERS THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A FUEL VENT OR SOMETHING. APPARENTLY THIS IS QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME *TR

PINION NUT CAME OFF, CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE AND NEAR COLLISION, I SENT THE LETTER BELOW TO CHRYSLER, WITH NO RESPONSE. OCTOBER 12, 2013 CHRYSLER CORPORATION: I HAVE OWNED 5 DODGE RAMS, A 95,98,99,2006,2008; THE 2008 WAS SOLD TO ME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY... UNTIL I NEEDED IT. AFTER 5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP (CHRYSLER SERVICE NOW TELLS ME THAT I WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED WITHIN A 30 DAY WINDOW OF ITS 5TH BIRTHDAY TO PRESERVE THE WARRANTY. WHO KNEW THIS? LIFETIME MEANS LIFE-TIME, RIGHT? MY DIFFERENTIAL JUST SUFFERED FROM A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHEN THE PINION NUT BACKED OFF AND THE PINION GEAR WAS PINCHED BETWEEN THE HOUSING AND THE RING GEAR AT 60 MPH, BLOWING OUT THE CAST IRON HOUSING, THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT AND I NEARLY COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. BENNY BOYD OF LAMPASAS TEXAS HAD REBUILT THE DIFFERENTIAL A YEAR PRIOR TO THE 5 YEAR MARKER, IT IS MY ASSERTION THAT HAD THE WORK BEEN DONE PROPERLY THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. ALL OF THE DODGE RAM DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA CLAIM THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE WARRANTY I HAVE BRAGGED ABOUT, AND COUNTED ON, AND WILL NOT REPAIR IT. I AM SCREWED!! I WAS QUOTED $4,000.00 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR AT CECIL ATKINS IN BURNET TEXAS. FRIDAY OCT 11TH I NEEDED THE WARRANTY THAT CAME WITH MY TRUCK, BUT IT WAS NOT THERE. THE SERVICE PEOPLE SEEMED AFRAID TO EVEN TELL ME, THEY TOO SEEMED ASHAMED OF THIS LOOPHOLE. SHAME ON CHRYSLER. AFTER THE LOYALTY I HAVE SHOWN YOU FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS, ALL THE PRAISE FOR YOUR PRODUCTS, AND WORD OF MOUTH ADVERTISING I HAVE GIVEN YOU, I EXPECT TO BE TREATED BETTER THAN THIS, WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR ME BEFORE I LOSE FAITH IN YOU?

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN A BACK COUNTRY ROAD ON THE SWAY TO WORK WHEN I NOTICED A WHISTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRUCK. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN FROM 55MPH AND THEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. I GOT OUT TO FIND THE TRANSFER CASE BLOWN APART AND THE REAR END WAS LOCKED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS MATTER IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR HAD NOT BEGUN TO SLOW DOWN. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND MANY RECALLS ON MY TRUCK. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS GOING TO RUN ME AROUND 3 GRAND, IF THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T MESSED UP. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS GETTING MY PICKUP SERVICED AT A SHOP (NOT A DEALER) AND THEY ADVISED ME OF THE FRONT END PROBLEMS AND THE DANGER OF CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT AND I COULD SEE THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END. I HAD THE REPAIRS MADE AS I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO A DEALER WHICH WOULD BE 40 MILES AWAY. DODGE IS REFUSING TO PAY ANYTHING ON THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT MADE AT A DEALERSHIP. WE LIVE IN MONTANA AND THERE IS NOT A DEALER ON EVERY CORNER AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO ONE. IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT.

DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK; IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS I HAD TWO BLOWOUTS AND TWO FLAT TIRES ON TIRES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE MANUFACTURED BY NITTO. I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE TIRES AND I SHOULD MADE CERTAIN THERE WAS PROPER TIRE PRESSURE. (THERE WAS) I EITHER REPAIRED OR REPLACED THE TIRES. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY. IS THERE A RECALL ON NITTO TIRES? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FOR MORE THAN 1 YEAR, THE TACHOMETER IN MY DODGE RAM HAS FUNCTIONED INTERMITTENTLY. ON 3/25/15 I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB WAS OUT. I REPLACED THE BULB WITHOUT EFFECT. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE TIPM MODULE AS THE CULPRIT FOR BOTH THE HEADLIGHT AND TACHOMETER FAILURE. HE WILL REPLACE THE MODULE, AT A COST OF ROUGHLY $1000, WHEN A REPLACEMENT CAN BE OBTAINED. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IT WILL BE AT LEAST 4 WEEKS FROM THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS BEFORE THAT REPLACEMENT TIPM WILL BE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEANTIME, I MUST DRIVE MY TRUCK WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $1000 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR

STEERING
I GOT A LETTER LAST YEAR 2014 ABOUT THE RECALL AND WENT BACK A MONTH LATER, AND THEY VERBALLY SAID THAT THERE'S A RECALL ON THE RECALL. THE RECENT ONE, I TOOK IT TO TURLOCK DODGE AND THEY PUT ME ON THE LIST AND I'M AT THE BOTTOM AND IT HAS BEEN A YEAR, BUT I WANT IT FIXED ASAP. THE RECALL SAYS: "THE PROBLEM IS THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD ON YOUR TRUCK MAY FRACTURE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WILL REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE. TO DO THIS, YOUR DEALER WILL INSPECT THE STEERING LINKAGE ON YOUR TRUCK AND REPLACE STEERING LINKAGE COMPONENT/S IF REQUIRED. THE INSPECTION WILL TAKE LESS THAN 1/2 HOUR. IF LINKAGE REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED, THE WORK WILL TAKE AN ADDITIONAL 1 HOUR TO COMPLETE..ETC" THIS WAS COPIED FROM THE RECALL NOTICE. SO WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX IT?! FIX THIS ASAP, I'M FRUSTRATED SINCE IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND NO ONE HAS GOTTEN BACK TO ME EXCEPT THE LETTER! *TR
