FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DURING FUEL FILL GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT THE FUEL TANK AFTER THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. THIS LEAVES A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND IF I WAS STANDING NEAR THE NOZZLE I WOULD BE FULL OF GAS ON MY CLOTHING. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP NO MATTER THE GAS STATION. SEEN DOZENS OF ON-LINE INFORMATION INCLUDING YOU TUBE VIDEOS OF EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER SAME YEAR MODEL TRUCKS.

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
MY HUSBAND AND I TOTALED OUR 2010 DODGE RAM 3500 LESS THAN 24 HRS AFTER PICK UP THE TRUCK FROM THE LYTHIA DODGE WHICH THEY HAD FOR 5 DAYS STRAIGHT PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. FOR THE STEERING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE BRAKES. IN 18MOS MY TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES, FOR REPAIRS {UNACCEPTABLE}. WE WERE DRIVING ON A ARTERIAL ST AT ABOUT 35, WHEN I HEARD A SNAP. WE SUDDENLY WENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHERE WE SIDESWIPED A SM SUV. WENT THRU TWO FENCES AND CRASHED INTO A HUGE SHOP TRAVELING ABOUT 210 YARDS. MY HUSBAND WAS CITED FOR NEG 2. HE STATED HE CAME TO IN THE SHOP, THE OFFICER REPORTED HE FEEL ASLEEP. MY VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE AUTO SOURCE FROM THE INS. FOR THE PAYOFF , HAD A LIST OF RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE ONE OF THEM WAS FOR THE TIE-ROD. WE RECALLED SEEING THE TRUCKS TIE-ROD HAD BEEN BROKEN AT THE SCENE. SO I TRIED TO GET MY INS TO INVESTIGATE. THEY SAID HIS TICKET WAS WHAT THEY HAD TO USE FOR DECIDING FAULT .SO I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY WOULDN'T TALK TO ME THEY GAVE ME A CARE NO AND SAID AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD COME IN 5 DAYS, HE CAME AND GOT ALL THE PICTS THEY WANTED DOWNLOADED THE BRAIN HISTORY ,EVERYTHING THEY COULD WANT. THEN TOLD ME HE COULD ONLY GIVE THIS INFO TO CHRYSLER, DENYING ME ANY OF IT. LATER CHRYSLER INFORMED ME BY LETTER THAT THE TIE-ROD FAILURE AGE WAS FROM THE ACCIDENT NOT THE CAUSE OF IT. I ASK IF THE WOULD CONSIDER THE WORK ORDERS THAT LYTHIA HAD GAVE ME {THAT CLEARLY STATES THEY WERE BEYOND SPECIFICATION, NEVER WARNING ME OF THE DANGERS} AND THE PICTS. I TOOK. I COULDN'T AFFORD TO FAX THEM AND THEY REFUSED ME AN EMAIL ADDRESS TO SEND THEM. THAT EVIDENCE WAS NOT CONSIDERED. THEY HAVE NOT SETTLED THIS WITH ME ONLY REFUSED THEIR LIABILITY. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, AND BRAKES WERE NOT APPLIED. I GOT 3 NOTICES FOR RECALL N49, 1 YR AFTER THE ACCIDENT. MULTIPLE RECALLS AT THAT TIME, DO A RECALL SEARCH BY NOW VIN NOW AND NOTHING COMES UP. *TR

ENGINE
AT ABOUT 65000 MILES I STARTED HEARING A "TICKING" SOUND FROM THE ENGINE, WHEN IT WAS COLD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAD BROKEN, THIS CAUSES EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT DURING THE WINTER WHEN USING THE HEATER, AND THE SUMMER USING THE AIR CONDITIONER. . I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY CHRYSLER USING SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS FOR THESE BOLTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE "HEMI" ENGINE, SO MUCH SO THAT THERE ARE YOU TUBE VIDEOS SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE REPAIR COST TO BE $ 1800.00. AS TIME GOES BY I FELT THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH OLDER VEHICLES, AND IT HAPPENED AROUND 65,000 MILES THOUGH I TOOK IT IN AROUND 70000 MILES FOR THE ESTIMATE. THESE BOLTS SHOULD OUTLAST THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE VEHICLE IF THEY WERE MADE OF THE PROPER MATERIALS OR WERE PROPERLY HEAT TREATED. IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH DODGE RAMS WITH THE HEMI ENGINE. THE DATE OF THE ESTIMATE IS APPROXIMATE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) ACTUATOR GEARS ON MY VEHICLE HAVE BROKEN, RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO FULLY CONTROL THE HVAC FUNCTIONS. THERE WAS A K17 RECALL FOR MODELS: 2009-2010 (DS) RAM TRUCK (1500 SERIES) 2010 (DJ) RAM TRUCK (2500 SERIES), 2010 (D2) RAM TRUCK (3500 SERIES) NOTE: THIS RECALL ONLY APPLIED TO THE ABOVE VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH MAY 22, 2010 (MDH 05222010). MY VEHICLE IS 2010 AND WAS MADE AFTER MAY 22 (I BELIEVE IN JULY) I THINK THIS RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2010 RAM 1500 VEHICLES AS MINE IS AFFECTED BUT CURRENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION, ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES MUST HAVE UPDATED HVAC CONTROL HEAD SOFTWARE INSTALLED AND THE MODE DOOR ACTUATORS MUST BE TESTED AND REPLACED AS REQUIRED. HOW CAN I HAVE MY 2010 VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM.

AFTER THE FIRST RECALL OF THE PINION NUT CAN LOOSEN, CAUSING THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE. THE DRIVESHAFT ALSO MAY DETACH, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. WE OPTED TO FIX THIS. SHORTLY AFTER THE SAME NOISE TOOK PLACE. THIS TIME IT IS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LOCKING UP. HOWEVER, THE DODGE SERVICE CENTER IS SAYING IT IS UNRELATED AND IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE BACK-END IS SEIZING - SO THERE IS MORE THAN ONE CRITICAL MECHANICAL ERROR IN THIS VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. THIS TIME I WANT MY VEHICLE ELIGIBLE FOR A BUY-BACK. ITS BEEN A LEMON. THE ELECTRICAL WENT OUT IN 2011. NO WINDOWS CAN GO UP OR DOWN. ITS A HORRIBLY MADE VEHICLE ALL THE WAY AROUND.
