POWER TRAIN
RE-CALL (P77) REAR AXLE /PINION PRIOR TO MY VEHICLE BEING SERVED FOR THIS RE-CALL IT RAN WELL BUT SOON AFTER THE RE-CALL WAS REPAIRED I NOTICED THERE WAS A HESITATION ON ACCELERATION ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE ON THE INTERSTATE. MY DODGE RAM 1500 HAS A HEMI AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS ENTERING THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT ANY DELAY TO REACH THE MARKED SPEED AND MERGE WITH THE TRAFFIC. AFTER THE REPAIR ON THE RE-CALL MY TRUCK WOULD NOT GO INTO A SMOOTH TRANSITION INTO THE GEAR; IT WOULD HAVE A NOTICEABLE JERK IN ORDER TO GET TO THE SPEED NEEDED TO FLOW INTO THE TRAFFIC. AND I NOW MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT; THERE IS FLUID IN THE CONTAINER AND NO LEAKING I THE DRIVEWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THE RE-EXAM THERE WORK ON THE RE-CALL THEY PERFORMED AND THE DEALERSHIP STARTED TO CHARGE ME $99. TO EXAM MY COMPLAINTS. I THOUGHT THAT RE-CALL WERE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE AN EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER. THE DEALERSHIP DEFINITELY TREATED ME DIFFERENT FROM A REGULAR "PAYING" CUSTOMER. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS RE-CALL.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
TAKATA RECALL THE TIPM WENT BAD IN MY TRUCK AT 85,000 MILES. TRUCK WILL NOT START AT TIMES, IT WILL LOCK ME OUT OF MY OWN VEHICLE (THANK GOD MY KIDS WERE NEVER LOCKED IN). THE FUEL PUMP RUNS CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF BECAUSE THE TIPM DOES NOT ALLOW IT TO TURN OFF. IT AFFECTS ALL OF MY ELECTRICAL STUFF, INCLUDING RADIO, POWER LOCKS AND POWER WINDOWS. MY WINDOWS WILL ROLE DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, AND THE WINDOWS WILL NOT ROLE BACK UP. THE BACKUP CAMERA WILL COME ON WHILE I AM DRIVING FORWARD, MY RADIO WILL FREEZE UP TO WHERE I CAN NO DO ANYTHING TO IT. MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT COME OUT! THE WHOLE ENTIRE TRUCK JUST LOCKS UP. WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING, AND IT DECIDES TO SHUT OFF OUT OF NOWHERE, I LOSE ALL POWER!!! NO BRAKES OR STEERING!!! ITS UNCONTROLLABLE!! THERE HAS BEEN MANY MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM IN THE 2011 RAM 1500 INCLUDING PEOPLE ALMOST GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS. MY FRIEND ALSO HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TOTALED HIS TRUCK BECAUSE IT LOCKED UP ON HIM WHILE DRIVING! ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, RAM STILL DECIDES NOT TO RECALL IT OR EVEN FIX IT!! IF I WAS AWARE OF THIS AND KNOWN THE DANGER I PUT MYSELF IN AND OTHERS IN EVERYDAY, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 76,000 MILES. REPLACED ALL 4 BALL JOINTS AT THE SAME TIME, FEWER THAN 40K. HAD TO REPLACE AN INJECTOR AROUND THE SAME TIME. FILTERS DODGE CAME OUT WITH WERE TOO LARGE, LETTING "JUNK" INTO THE INJECTORS. NOT ONG AFTER THAT, WE WERE DRIVING AND LOST POWER. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, SAW BELTS HANGING DOWN. POPPED THE HOOD AND THE PULLEY(?) THE BELTS ATTACH TO HAD SNAPPED OFF! FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ON A COUNTY ROAD, DRIVING SLOWLY. THEN, AT 76K, THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL LOCKED UP, CAUSING US TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT AXLE SYSTEM. WE WERE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THEN PROCEEDED TO PULL FORWARD. ABOUT HALFWAY ACROSS THE INTERSECTION, LEFT WHEEL LOCKED UP. WE COULD GO IN REVERSE, BUT NOT FORWARD. INJECTORS ARE CLOGGING UP AS WELL AND WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. WE BOUGHT THIS NEW IN 2005 FOR $42,000. IT HAS HAD AN 'EASY' LIFE WITH VERY LITTLE TOWING.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A NOTICE THAT A RECALL IS ACTIVE ON MY VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALER TO HAVE IT RESOLVED AND THEY SAY THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN ANY WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE RECALL STATES THAT IF I AM IN A COLLISION AND MY PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS, THAT MY PASSENGER CAN RECEIVE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH FROM FLYING PIECES OF METAL. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN WE BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE AROUND IN THESE POSSIBLE DEATH MACHINES AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE DOING ANYHTING ABOUT IT.?????
