WHEELS
I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY 2014 RAM 35000 LONGHORN FROM DON VANCE DODGE IN MARSHFIELD MISSOURI IN FEBRUARY 2016 WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM THEM. WITHIN 10,000 MILES I NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE ON THE OUTER EDGE IS WEARING. I BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO RAISED THE TRUCK WITH A FLOOR JACK AND CHECKED THE TIRE. HE SHOWED ME HOW THE TIRE WOULD MOVE BACK AND FORTH AND SAID THAT THE UPPER BALL JOINT WAS BAD. I CHECKED IT ALSO AND IT HAD A LOT OF PLAY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DON VANCE DODGE IN MARSHFIELD MISSOURI FOR THE WARRANTY WORK TO BE PERFORMED. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME BACK ABOUT 3 1/2 HOURS LATER AND TOLD ME THAT THE BALL JOINT WAS GOOD AND WITHIN SPECS. I ARGUED WITH HIM ABOUT IT AND EXPLAINED THE ABOVE AGAIN TO HIM. HE REFUSED TO CHECK THE BALL JOINT AGAIN WITH A FLOOR JACK AND TOLD ME TO LEAVE. I WENT OVER AND SPOKE WITH THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME THE TRUCK AND EXPLAINED WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND SHOWED HIM THE TIRE. THERE IS NO CAMBER ADJUSTMENT FOR THIS TRUCK AND EXPLAINED HOW THE BALL JOINT WAS BAD. HE ASKED ME TO CALL BACK TOMORROW AND SPEAK WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER. THIS IS ONLY 1 OF 3 DEALINGS I'VE HAD WITH THIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ALL IN WHICH THEY WERE WRONG AND TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR WARRANTY WORK WHICH THEY REFUSED TO FIX.

WHEELS
I BOUGHT 2017 RAM 3500 IN JANUARY 2017 AS A NEW CAR. AFTER 1300 ML I BOUGHT AFTER MARKET WHEELS AND TIRES FROM DISCOUNT TIRE. THEY DID INSTALLED THEM AND CHECKED THEM AFTER. CAR DROW ALMOST FOUR THOUSAND ML DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL. LAST WEEKEND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL CAME OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT 80 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. NO SINGLE SINE THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WHITH A CAR BEFORE THE INCIDENT, ALL EIGHT STUDS WERE BROKE OFF WHITHIN A SPLIT SECOND, TIRE WAS LOST. I NOTIFIED DEALER AND A TIRE COMPANY AND WHEEL MANUFACTUR ABOUT THIS INCIDENT TO INVESTIGATE . EACH COMPANY BLAMES OTHERS. I'M PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT PROBLEM DEFECTED STUDS OR WHEEL. I ASKED DISCOUNT TIRE AND CAR MANUFACTUR TO INVESTIGATE, NOTHING DONE YET.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON JUNE 1, 2013, I WAS DRIVING THE DODGE RAM 3500 AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROX. 60 MPH) WHEN THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND 4-WAY EMERGENCY FLASHERS FAILED. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. MY PHONE LOG SHOWS THIS CALL STARTED AT 8:40AM AND LASTED 9 MINUTES. DURING THE CALL, WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION INCIDENT RESPONSE STOPPED AT THE SCENE AND NEITHER OF US REALIZED THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM AND WA DOT LEFT THE SCENE. NEAR THE END OF THE CALL, I NOTICED SMOKE POURING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, I NOTICED BURNING MATERIAL ON THE GROUND UNDER THE TRUCK'S ENGINE. I HUNG UP WITH ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND CALLED 911 AT 8:49AM. AT THAT TIME, AT LEAST 4 LAW ENFORCEMENT, 2 FIRE ENGINES, AND WA DOT ARRIVED ON SCENE AND SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE STATE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE FIRE. ONE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY WAS REOPENED JUST BEFORE 9:20AM. WHEN I LEFT THE SCENE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS STILL ACTIVELY WORKING TO CONTROL THE BLAZE AND HAD CUT OPEN THE TRUCK'S HOOD TO BETTER ACCESS THE FIRE. AFTER THE FIRE, I RE-READ THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE VEHICLE'S ALTERNATOR AND BELIEVE THIS PROBABLY CAUSED THE NEAR-CRASH AND FIRE.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE A RAM 3500 SINGLE REAR WHEEL TRUCK WITH INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER. IT WAS HOOKED UP TO MY 10,000# GVW 5TH WHEEL TRAILER THIS PAST WEEKEND AND NO MATTER HOW I SET THE CONTROLLER, FOR EITHER BRAKING STRENGTH OR TRAILER SELECTION TYPE, IT PROVIDES IMPERCEPTIBLE BRAKING TO THE TRAILER. IT NEARLY PUSHED ME RIGHT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AT 25 MPH BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BRAKING. THIS OCCURRED ON A 35 MPH LEVEL GRADE AND I WAS SLOWED AT THE TIME FOR AN APPROACHING RED LIGHT. TRUCK IS RATED TO TOW MUCH MORE. I DISCONNECTED FACTORY UNIT AND PUT IN AN AFTERMARKET AND IT WORKED EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD, WHICH SHOULD RULE OUT BOTH THE TRAILER AND TRUCK WIRING AS IT USES THE SAME WITH JUST AN PLUG SWITCHED FROM INTERNAL BRAKE CONTROLLER TO AFTERMARKET.. I HAVE SEEN MANY POSTINGS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS FCA HAS A STAR CASE ON THIS AS WELL #S1508000014. I FEEL THIS CAN PUT ANY DRIVER IN A VERY BAD OR DEADLY SITUATION VERY QUICKLY. I HAD BOTH A 2010 AND A 2012 RAM 3500 TRUCKS WITH THE SAME CONTROLLER AND TOWING THE SAME TRAILERS AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES AT ALL. I WILL BE TAKING THIS TO A DEALER IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS FOR TESTING, BUT ALL POSTINGS I HAVE SEEN SHOW NO RESOLUTION FROM FCA ON THIS PROBLEM. I THINK IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THIS GETS REVIEWED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BY THIS.

STEERING
TRUCK HAS 26,300 MILES ON IT. 7 DAYS AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK SERVICED AND ALIGNED AT MY LOCAL DEALER, WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN GAINSVILLE, FL, THE STEERING WHEEL SLOWLY BECAME MIS-ALIGNED TO THE LEFT BY OVER 180 DEGREES, CAUSING REDUCED ABILITY TO STEER TO THE LEFT, A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, A FAILURE OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROL MODULE, AND FAILURE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL. I STOPPED AT NEAREST DEALER WHO SAID THE TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT DID NOT HAVE ANYONE AVAILABLE TO LOOK AT IT FOR AT LEAST A WEEK AND OFFERED NO FURTHER OPTIONS. BEING AS I WAS 200 MILES FROM HOME, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING DRAG LINK JAM NUTS WERE LOOSE ALLOWING THE DRAG LINK TO ROTATE AT RANDOM. HE WAS UNABLE TO TELL WHETHER THE DEALER FAILED TO TIGHTEN THEM AFTER THE ALIGNMENT OR BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER TIGHTENED AT THE FACTORY. THE DRAG LINK WAS RE-SET TO CENTER THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE JAM NUTS WERE TIGHTENED. I WAS ADVISED THAT HAD I NOT STOPPED TO HAVE IT FIXED, THE DRAG LINK COULD HAVE CONTINUED TO LOOSEN CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES THIS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
DODGE DEATH WOBBLE. WHILE DRIVING OUR 2013 DODGE RAM 3500 6.7 TURBO DIESEL PICKUP TRUCK AT ABOUT 40 MPH THE FRONT END STARTED VIOLENTLY SHACKING. I COULD NOT STEER OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW TWICE. FIRST TIME I WAS ON A FREEWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON A TWO LANE HWY AND ALMOST DROVE OFF A CLIFF. BOTH OCCURRENCES I WAS ONLY ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BUT HAD ZERO CONTROL OVER STEERING. ONCE I GOT SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPH I WAS ABLE TO LET OFF THE BRAKE AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR VEHICLE. SIMILAR REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ARE ALL THE INTERNET. IN BOTH OCCURRENCES IT FELT LIKE THE SHACKING STARTED IN THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE.

THE TRUCK SEATS ARE VIBRATING REALLY BAD AT 60 TO 70 MPH. THE TRUCK WAS BOUGHT NEW IN NC . I DROVE IT HOME TO FL AND TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER , THEY BALANCE THE FIRESTONE TIRES AND IT IMPROVED A LITTLE EVERY 5000 I HAD TO ROTATE OR MY TEETH WOULD START TO CHATTER. I INSTALLED MICHELIN TIRE NO IMPROVEMENT. THE TIRE ARE WEARING EVEN, NO VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL , THIS A TRANSMISSION / TRANSFER CASE / DRIVE SHAFT OR REAR END ISSUE.

WHEELS, STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE FAILURES CONCERNING THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER FAILED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION AFTER SEVERAL REPAIRS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A STRONG "DEATH WOBBLE" VIBRATION. THE VIBRATION CAUSED THE FRONT SEAT BELTS TO RESTRICT AND LOOSEN. THE CONTACT HAD TO REDUCE THE SPEED TO BELOW 45 MPH TO PREVENT THE CONDITION. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BY A TIRE REPAIR SHOP AND THE STEERING BOX FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO A TIRE REPAIR SHOP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,468.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRUCK AT FACTORY HIGH IDLE, PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AC ON MAX COOL AND THE FAN CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT CAUSED THE RUBBER FAN SHROUD TO SUCKED INTO THE ENGINES COOLING FAN. RAM STAR CASE #: 1307000002. JUST PURCHASED USED, AND THERE ISNT EVEN A BOLT TO SECURE THE FAN SHROUD MAKING IT EVEN MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BECOME INTANGLED AND PUNCTURE OF THE RADIATOR IS THE RESULT. VEHICLE IF MOVING COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURES DUE TO EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN OF SOFT PLYABLE RUBBER TO BE IN A HIGH VOLUME NEGATIVE PRESSURE SITUATION. LOSS OF BRAKES AND STEERING COULD SOON FOLLOW. RAM KNOWS OF THE ISSUE YET DECLINES TO FIX UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE THE RADIATOR AND ENGINE COOLING FAN DOESNT FALL UNDER POWERTRAIN, YET IT IS AS IMPORTANT OR MORE IMPORTANT THAN ENGINE LUBRICATION AND SAFETY OF OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE IF DESCENDING A MOUNTAIN PASS PULLING A HEAVY LOAD WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING (EITHER FROM A STOP OR A ROLLING STOP) AND THEN BRAKING AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN, THE ENGINE WILL HESITATE. SOME CALL THIS "DEAD PEDAL" BUT I FEEL IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT LEAVES VULNERABLE IN TRAFFIC TO A COLLISION. IT'S HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND AGAIN TODAY. I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP AND PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE WHEN IT WAS MY TURN, ABOUT 1/3 WAY INTO THE INTERSECTION, A VEHICLE TRAFFIC IGNORED THE STOP SIGN AND ATTEMPTED TO CROSS MY LINE OF TRAVEL. I HAD TO BREAK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE AND THE TRUCK HESITATED WHICH LEFT ME IN THE INTERSECTION. IF THE OTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT A FASTER RATE, IT WOULD HAVE T-BONED ME. AS IT WAS, THE OTHER DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER HIS VEHICLE AROUND ME. TO ME, THIS ISN'T A DELAY IN WHICH THE TURBO SPOOLS UP TO HELP DELIVER POWER. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE THROTTLE IS DEAD HOWEVER THE TRUCK IS STILL RUNNING. THE HESITATION CAN LAST ABOUT A SECOND OR SO BUT IN THAT TIME, I FEEL THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE.

TRYING TO PULL OUT AT STOP SIGN, OR GREEN LIGHT TRUCK DOE NOTHING FOR @3 SECONDS. WE CALL IT DEAD PEDAL. MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE SAME PROBLEM. DODGE SEEMS TO THINK THIS IS NORMAL, BUT IT IS NOT. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITH YOUR FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A DIESEL ENGINE AND SHOULD HAVE A LOT OF POWER TO PULL OUT EMPTY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE TO THE RIGHT TO EXIT THE FREEWAY. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO ACCELERATE AND MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE HESITATED AND THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL FOR 2-3 SECONDS. AFTER THAT SHORT PERIOD, THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MERGE. THIS SUDDEN FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WHEN MERGING IS A HAZARD BECAUSE WHILE WAITING FOR POWER FROM THE ENGINE ANOTHER CAR COULD CLOSE THE DISTANCE AND HIT ME DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED HESITATION.

SEAT BELTS
I WAS TOLD BY DEALER AND CHRYSLER THAT THIS IS ONLY ON THE 3500 RAM . THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT AND THE AIR BAR LIGHT DOES NOT GIVE ANY WARNINGS WHEN PASSENGER PERSON SITS IN THE SEAT. THAT NO CHIME WILL NOTIFY IF SEAT BELT IS UNHOOK ONLY IN PASSENGER SEAT. I CAN'T EVEN PUT THIS PART IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE NO # FOR IT. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY ITEM THAT SHOULD BE IN VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SEAT WORKS OK JUST THE PASSENGER SEAT.
