ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLAMP ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING HOME. I REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. IT WOULD NOT WORK. I GOT A SECOND BULB AND TRIED TO REPLACE THE LIGHT AGAIN. STILL WOULD NOT WORK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THREE DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND NONE OF THEM COULD FIX IT. I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE THE FUSE BOX.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2012 DODGE RAM 1500 THAT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREETS OR TURNING AND SOMETIMES WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. IT STARTED A COUPLE YEARS AGO BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I PUT MY VIN # IN AND THERE IS NO RECALL WHICH THERE SHOULD BE AFTER READING THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS THAT'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED WITHOUT MYSELF HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS TRUCK.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
WHILE DRIVING A DODGE RAM 2500, WITHOUT ANY LOAD AND AT A SPEED OF 35 MPH ON A STRAIGHT SMOOTH ROAD THE REAR RIGHT TIRE BURST FOR NO APPARENT REASON. A LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER BELIEVES THAT THE TIRE WAS PUNCTURED AND AT A LOW PRESSURE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT AS A VISUAL INSPECTION PRIOR TO THE TRIP WHICH RESULTED IN THE BLOWOUT DID NOT INDICATE A LOW PRESSURE.
