POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS
SEVERE NOISE IN REAR PINION AREA, POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO REAR DIFFERENTIAL; FROM PREVIOUS PROBLEM WHEN REAR PINION NUT BACKED OFF CAUSING REAR PINION FLANGE & DRIVE LINE TO FALL OUT OF THE REAR END. THIS OCCURRED LESS THAN 300 MILES AFTER INCIDENT ASSOCIATED WITH CONFORMATION NUMBER 10763197. AS WELL AS I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS AT THE TIME OF FILING THE OTHER INCIDENT, WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD DUE TO A LOCKED DIFFERENTIAL, WE HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE TO GET IT SAFELY OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IF I HADN'T OF HAD HELP I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO A SAFE LOCATION TO WAIT UNTIL ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE ARRIVED. I HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROLLING THE ACCELERATION SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THE SAME PART ISSUES WERE ASSOCIATED WITH PRIOR AND LATTER YEAR RECALLS, 13V038000, 14V796000. I WAS LUCKY WITH MY SON TO HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IF THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OUT AT FASTER SPEEDS, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD CRASH TO MY VEHICLE, OR ANOTHER PERSON WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME IN THE SAME LANE DUE TO A LOOSE DRIVE SHAFT.

SERVICE BRAKES
PURCHASED VAN FROM DEALER. WHILE DRIVING THE NEXT DAY, FRONT BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAL RATHER LOUDLY. THIS CONTINUED AND GOT LOUDER....THE VAN SOUNDED LIKE A SCHOOL BUS. I TOOK THE VAN OVER TO THE DEALER BECAUSE NOW THERE WAS A LOT OF BRAKE DUST ON THE FRONT TIRE RIMS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND I COULDN'T BE HELPED WITH THE ISSUE. MY BRAKES ARE WEARING DOWN QUICKLY AND SQUEAL LOUDLY. THERE IS SO MUCH BRAKE DUST THAT MY RIMS LOOK BLACK IF NOT WASHED. I FEEL THAT DODGE/CRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS FREE OF CHARGE AND CHECK MY ROTORS FOR WEAR AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY ALSO FREE OF CHARGE SINCE THIS IS A STANDING ISSUE. IF MY BRAKES FAIL, THIS MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ALSO, IT IS RATHER EMBARRASSING TO DRIVE A NEW VAN THAT DODGE IS TRYING TO PROMOTE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ALSO SITTING AT AN IDLE, THE TRUCK TRIES TO ENGAGE 4WD LOW. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE FRONT ACTUATOR, FLASHED THE TIPM ON 8/28/15. DIDN'T LEAVE THE DEALERS LOT AND THE TRUCK WAS STILL SHIFTING INTO 4WD ON ITS OWN. BACK TO THE GARAGE IT WENT. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE A BUILT IN SAFETY SO THAT IT CAN NOT SHIFT INTO 4WD LOW AT HIGH SPEEDS... BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE THE AC PRESSURE SWITCH, TIPM, TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR MOTOR. AWAITING TRANSFER CASE MOTOR TO BE REPLACED AT THE MOMENT. STILL WAITING FOR DEALER TO SAY THAT IT IS FIXED. THE TRUCK IS PRESENTING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND WHATS WRONG WITH IT. THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS AS OF 9/20/15. DEALER HAS HAD MY TRUCK SINCE 8/26/15 AND STILL HAS IT AS OF 9/20/15.

POWER TRAIN
PINION NUT ON DRIVE SHAFT WHICH BOLTS TO THE DIFFERENTIAL CAME LOOSE, CAUSING DRIVE SHAFT TO COME OFF ON THE ROAD. NO DAMAGE IN GEARS OF DIFFERENTIAL, OR RELATED MOUNT, NO RELATED ENGINE ERROR CODES PRIOR TO INDICATE PROBLEMS WITH EITHER TRANSMISSION OR REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL. AND NO SERVICE ON DRIVE SHAFT SINCE OWNERSHIP IN JAN. 2015; AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE MILLAGE WAS AROUND 143,000. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE MERGED ON A ROAD OF 50 MPH RIGHT BEFORE IT OCCURRED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH W/ MY TODDLER AND ME OR SIGNIFICANT DRIVE TRAIN FAILURE. NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER DODGE RAM 1500 VEHICLES FEW YEARS PRIOR.
