STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I HAD JUST FINISHED CUTTING THE GRASS IN MY BACKYARD. BEING THAT I HAD GRASS CLIPPINGS AND DUST ALL OVER ME AND MY CLOTHES I ASKED MY WIFE TO MOVE THE VEHICLES INTO THE BACKYARD SO I COULD CUT THE FRONTYARD. MY WIFE IS 5' 3" TALL AND OUR TRUCK IS A DODGE RAM 1500 W/ 20" RIMS. SO FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE TRUCK ON EITHER SIDE SHE NEEDS THE ASSISTANCE OF THE LEVERAGE HANDLE OR (THE OH '!@#$% HANDLE) AS WE CALL IT. WHEN SHE PROCEEDED TO PULL HERSELF UP INTO THE SEAT, JUST BEFORE BEING ABLE TO SEAT HERSELF BEHIND THE WHEEL THE LEVERAGE HANDLE CAME OFF THE FRAME OF THE CAB. THE SECOND I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED I WAS ON MY KNEES BY HER SIDE ASKING HER QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE IF SHE WAS O.K. SHE LANDED ON HER BUTT FIRST THEN HER BACKSIDE AND THEN THE BACK OF HER HEAD HIT THE GROUND. A FRIEND OF OURS WAS THERE TO HEAR HER FALL BUT HE DID NOT SEE THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE HE IS BLIND. I ASKED HIM TO GET A PILLOW FROM THE COUCH SO I COULD PLACE IT UNDER HER HEAD. SHE HAD TO LAY THERE ON THE GROUND FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET HER BEARINGS BACK TOGETHER. AFTER SHE WAS ABLE TO SIT UPRIGHT ON THE GROUND I TOOK PICTURES OF EVERYTHING. I STARTED LOOKING AT AND STUDYING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE LEVERAGE HANDLE AND I MUST SAY THAT IT IS A VERY POOR DESIGN. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS ANCHORING THIS HANDLE TO THE CAB FRAME WAS 2 SMALL BOLTS, NOT WHAT I EXPECTED TO SEE IN A LEVERAGE HANDLE THAT SUPPORTS NO LEVERAGE AT ALL. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS SHE SAID SHE HAD A MIGRAINE HEADACHE AND HER NECK WAS HURTING. I TOOK HER TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE SHE WAS GIVEN A CAT SCAN, PAIN KILLER AND MUSCLE RELAXER. THE E-ROOM DOCTOR SAID SHE HAS MINOR HEAD INJURY AND CERVICAL NECK STRAIN. THE INJURIES SHE RECEIVED FROM THIS ACCIDENT ARE ALL MINOR AND SHE IS VERY LUCKY HER INJURIES ARE MINOR. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, ACCIDENTS, DEATHS AND DEFAULTS I SAW IN THE WEBSITE THAT LEAD ME TO THIS COMPLAINT FORM, IT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE AN ACT OF CONGRESS TO GET DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO FIX MY TRUCK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2004 DODGE 5.7 L 4X4 I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I RUN THE TRUCK DOWN TO "E" AND REFILL IT TO FULL THE TRUCK WILL STALL WHEN COMING TO A HARD STOP. THE RPM GOES UP AND DOWN BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 RPM. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ONCE AFTER I FILL THE TRUCK. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTER NET (EDMONDS/CAR "DODGE TRUCKS STALLING PROBLEMS" AND HAVE LOCATED OTHER THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND WITH THE SAME TRUCK AND HE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THERE ARE NO CODES OR DASH BOARD LIGHTS COMING ON AFTER IT STALLS. I AM TAKING TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY REPORTS OF THIS TRUCK STALLING AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANY. IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. P.S. I GOT THIS TRUCK USED. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD VIBRATING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. HE FEARS THAT THE TIRE WILL DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS, BUT THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN IDENTIFYING THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE IS BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V038000 (SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING); THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND GAUGES STARTED TO ACT UP SO WE CARRIED IT INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS CONDENSATION IN THE FUSES. THEY SAID IT WAS REPAIRED AND CHARGED US ABOUT $100. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO IT STARTED TO DO IT AGAIN. BEFORE WE COULD TAKE IT BACK TO BE LOOKED AT IT BURST INTO FLAMES IN OUR DRIVEWAY AT 2 AM ON 3/2/09. FIRE DEPT. STATES THAT THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD. I'VE BEEN SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOR AN EXPLANATION AND I'VE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2004 DODGE RAM'S, A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE GENERATOR HARNESS CAN CAUSE "UNDER THE HOOD FIRES"! I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY SAY THAT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD... OUR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, IT HAD 5 MILES ON ODOMETER WHEN WE LEFT THE LOT. IT HAD 68000+ MILES WHEN IT BURST INTO FLAMES. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
2004 DODGE 2500 4X4 4 DOOR AUTOMATIC. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I AM DRIVING AROUND 60 OR 65 AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END SHAKES OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO LESS THAN 35 OR 40 THEN IT STOPS. I HAVE REPLACED TIRES, BALL JOINTS, AND STABILIZERS BARS, PUT SOME SORT OF HEAVY DUTY STABILIZER SHOCK ON THE FRONT END THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG EVERY TIME THEY TEST DROVE IT. I FINALLY ASKED IF SOMEONE FROM THE DEALER COULD RIDE WITH ME TO SEE WHAT THE TRUCK DOSE AT 60 MPH. A MECHANIC RODE WITH ME DRIVING AT ABOUT 62 MPH WE DROVE ACROSS THE SEAM AT THE BEGINNING OF A BRIDGE AND THE FRONT END LET LOOSE. THE REACTION FROM THE DODGE MECHANIC WAS JUST SHORT OF PANIC. HE THEN DROVE IT AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP HE TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER 'I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT COULD BE I THOUGHT THE FRONT END WAS FALLING OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS AND ABOUT 55,000 MILES. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
MILEAGE: 43,520 DEALER PERFORMING SERVICE: VALS SUMMIT DODGE I HAVE A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO I HAD TO HAVE BOTH U-JOINTS REPLACED DUE TO SQUEAKING. THEN TODAY, I HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE SHAFT WAS TWISTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE A REASON FOR THE TWISTING OTHER THAN TO EXPLAIN THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT IS MADE FROM A VERY LIGHT ALUMINUM TUBE AND THIS HAPPENS. THERE WAS NO DINGS OR DAMAGE. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AND THAT HE REPLACES 4-5 DRIVE SHAFTS PER WEEK. I WAS CHARGED $108 AS PART OF THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE DRIVE SHAFT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN OBVIOUS ISSUE WITH THE QUALITY OF THE COMPONENT. I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO COULD NOT ASSIST ME OTHER THAN TO TELL ME TO SEND EVERYTHING TO THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THEY WOULD SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO. *TR

STEERING
HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/RAM_1500/2002/STEERING/RACK_AND_PINION_FAILURE.SHTML CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY DEFECT LOST STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER LCC IS NOT STANDING BEHIND. PLEASE GO TO THE WEBSITE ABOVE AND SEE ALL THE COMMON COMPLAINTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY DODGE OR BY PRESSURE OF THE NHTSA TO HAVE DODGE REIMBURSE AND RECALL THIS COMMON PROBLEM. IF CHRYSLER IS GOING TO ASK FOR A BAILOUT THEN THEY NEED TO USE SOME OF OUR MONEY TO MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AND NHTSA NEEDS TO PRESSURE THEM TO GET THIS SAFETY, POOR ENGINEERING PROBLEM FIXED! I FILED WITH BBB OF AUBURN HILLS, MI. THEY ONLY LOOK AT WARRANTY ISSUES. VEHICLES SHOULD NOT HAVE THEIR POWER STEERING AND RACK AND PINION GOING OUT AT 36K MILES! CHEVY, FORD, NISSAN, TOYOTA DOESN'T! LOOK AT THE WEBSITE COMPLAINTS AND DO YOUR JOB NHTSA...I AM FORWARDING THIS ONTO THE US ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. MAYBE WITH A NEW VISION AND NEW PRESIDENT WE CAN START FIXING THESE PROBLEMS AND START HELPING THE PEOPLE WHO HELP FUND ALL THESE GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL..IF I SOUND '!@#$% YES I AM...I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $800 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT AND I HAVE TWO 2004 RAM 1500S AND BOTH HAVE THIS PROBLEM?

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2004 DODGE RAM 3500 PICKUP CUMMINS 5.9 LITER DIESEL ENGINE. 1/17/2009 UNDER/OVER ACCELERATION. VEHICLE IS A "DRIVE BY WIRE" DESIGN. PROBLEM HAPPENED VERY SPORADICALLY. WOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE AND OUTSIDE AIR TEMP WAS 20 DEGREES F OR LOWER. PROBLEM HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES DURING THE WINTER OF 2007-2008. PROBLEM AT THAT TIME WAS ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION. I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT BETWEEN 55 AND 70 MPH. THE TUCK WOULD SUDDENLY NOT MAINTAIN SPEED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WOULD PRODUCE NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER A FEW SECONDS TRUCK DRIVES NORMALLY AGAIN. THIS SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED 8 TO 10 TIMES. OVER ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON 1/13/09. AGAIN TRUCK HAD BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE ALL DAY. STARTED TRUCK AND ALL WAS NORMAL FOR THE FIRST 5 OR 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A STEADY SPEED OF 60 MPH. WITH NO INPUT FROM ME SUDDENLY THE TRUCK ACCELERATED VERY RAPIDLY. THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED AND THE ENGINE RPM JUMPED UP CONSIDERABLY. IN MY PANIC I STABBED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK SOMEWHAT. AFTER ACCELERATING WILDLY FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS THE TRUCK THEN WENT INTO THE UNDER ACCELERATION MODE. NOW PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WOULD GET ZERO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. THIS SUDDEN OVER ACCELERATION HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT TEN MILES FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. LUCKILY THE ROADS WERE DRY AND THERE WERE NO VEHICLES CLOSE ENOUGH TO ME TO CAUSE ANY CRASH. I REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND SO FAR THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RETURNED. THIS IS A GREAT CONCERN BECAUSE OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED DURING THE OVER ACCELERATION. IF THE ROAD WAS SNOW COVERED OR ICY THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS OR EVEN DEADLY. *TR
