SUSPENSION:FRONT
AN INTERMITTENT FRONT END SHIMMY HAPPENS OFTEN, BUT TWICE NOW I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HIT A BUMP AND THE FRONT END WENT OUT OF CONTROL, WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH AND HOPPING UNCONTROLLABLY, WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT GOT WORSE SO ALL I COULD DO IS COAST UNTIL THE IT STOPPED, BOTH TIMES IT STOPPED ONCE I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. ONE OF THESE TIMES MY SON WAS WITH ME AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO ROLL OR GO OUT OF CONTROL. MY WIFE HAPPEN TO BE FOLLOWING ME AND SHE WAS IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME AND A LITTLE BEHIND ME, HER AND MY DAUGHTER SAID IT LOOKED LIKE MY WHEELS WHERE GOING TO FALL OFF THE WAY THEY WHERE WOBBLING. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WITH FRONT TIRE PRESSURE AT 40PSI AND 60PSI. IT WAS MUCH WORSE WHEN THE TIRES WHERE AT 60PSI AFTER LOOKING THIS UP ON THE INTERNET I FOUND WHAT PEOPLE ARE CALLING A DEATH WOBBLE AND THEY ALSO SAY DODGE HAS A TSB # 22-055-06 FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING ON IT FROM DODGE. MY TRUCK IS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 FOUR DOOR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2005 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB 4.7LL ENGINE STALLS RANDOMLY DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CANT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE ENGINE ALSO HAS POOR OIL CIRCULATION AND AN EXTREME SLUDGING ISSUE TO MY UNDERSTANDING THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHUT OFF AS WELL AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
MASSIVE UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING IN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK. I CAN NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR WITHOUT FEAR THAT I WILL LOOSE CONTROL IF IT STARTS TO SHAKE AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT OFF OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ROLLING IT OR HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT DOES THIS ANY TIME YOU HIT A BUMP OR GO OVER AN EXTENSION JOINT IN THE ROAD. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT END BEARINGS, ALL 4 SHOCKS, HAD A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND PUT NEW TIRES ON IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
RE: POSSIBLE DANGEROUS LEAKING FUEL TUBE DODGE CORPORATION DODGE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER P. O. BOX 21-8004 AUBURN HILLS, MI 48321-8004 TEL: 800-992-1997 13 OCTOBER 2009 DEAR DODGE CORPORATION, I AM FORWARDING A COPY OF THIS LETTER TO THE NHTSA, AAA, CONSUMER REPORTS AND CPPB. ON OCTOBER 10TH WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM PASADENA I DETECTED A STRONG SCENT OF DIESEL IN THE CAB OF MY TRUCK. IT WAS ESPECIALLY STRONG AS I SLOWED AFTER TRAVELING SEVERAL HOURS ON THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FREEWAY SYSTEM. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I INVESTIGATED AND DISCOVERED THAT THE INJECTOR TUBE TO THE #4 CYLINDER WAS SPRAYING A FINE MIST OF FUEL INTO AND AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ONTO THE FIREWALL AS WELL AS BEING SOAKED INTO THE HOOD INSULATION. I KNOW THAT THE DIESEL FUEL IS FAR LESS VOLATILE THAN GASOLINE. I ALSO KNOW THAT ATOMIZING IT IN A CONFINED COMPARTMENT THAT HAS HIGH TEMPERATURES AS WELL AS A CHANCE FOR SPARK OR A SHORTED WIRE, SUCH AS THE CONFINES OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, ARE AN EXCELLENT LOCATION FOR A VEHICLE FIRE. DIESEL FUEL IS DIFFICULT TO IGNITE BUT ONCE IT IS BURNING IT IS DIFFICULT TO EXTINGUISH. YOU AND YOUR EXPERT ENGINEERS ARE AWARE OF THIS. I FOUND THAT THE BLUE PLASTIC RETAINING CLAMP THAT HOLDS THE INJECTOR TUBE IN PLACE AND PREVENTS VIBRATION FROM DAMAGING THE CONNECTIONS OR THE TUBE ITSELF WAS LOOSE. THE PLASTIC CLAMP/RETAINER WAS SECURELY HELD IN PLACE BY THE SCREW THAT PASSED THROUGH THE DEVICE BUT THE WHOLE CLAMP WOULD FREELY MOVE AROUND THE TUBE AND THE TUBE WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH INSIDE THE CLAMP. THIS SORT OF DEFEATS IT'S PURPOSE. I FOUND THAT THE PRESSED FITTING ON THE TUBE NEAR WHERE IT ATTACHED TO THE INJECTOR WAS WHERE THE MISTING/LEAK WAS. MY INTERNET RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT THIS ANOMALY IN THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM THOUGH NOT COMMON IS NOT UNCOMMON. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS MORE APT TO OCCUR IN THE 2006 MODELS BUT THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION FROM LIMITED INTERNET RESEARCH. *TR

SEAT BELTS
IN A 2005 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB PICKUP THE REAR OVER-THE-SHOULDER SEATBELTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE RIGHT REAR BUCKLE BROKE AND I HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THINKING NOTHING OF IT. IT WAS REPLACED IN APRIL OR MAY THIS YEAR. I HAVE A CHILD SEAT IN THE CENTER REAR SEAT, USING THE SEATBELT AS THE RESTRAINT. UPON BRAKING TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER DRIVER WHO CUTS ME OFF, I HEARD THE SOUNDS OF CRACKING AND BREAKING OF PLASTIC. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING UNTIL LATER WHEN I NOTICED THE CHILD SEAT A LITTLE LOOSE. AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION, THE PLASTIC ON THE LAP BELT BUCKLE WAS SHATTERED. I TRIED TIGHTENING IT UP BUT IT WILL NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS HAPPENED LATER LAST MONTH FOR THE THIRD TIME, THIS TIME TO THE LEFT REAR WHEN A PASSENGER JUST WENT TO RE-POSITION HERSELF. SHE WAS ONLY 80 SOME POUNDS!! THE CONSEQUENCES ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE BRITTLE HARD PLASTIC PIECE ON THE BUCKLE PREVENTS THE LAP SECTION TO TIGHTEN CORRECTLY. UNLESS THE WHOLE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY IS REPLACED, JUST TO FIX A BROKEN PIECE OF BRITTLE PLASTIC, THE SEATBELT IS USELESS. A PASSENGER COULD EASILY SLIDE OUT FROM UNDER THE BELT IN A FRONTAL IMPACT COLLISION. WHAT WAS DONE: I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION IN DETROIT. A CUSTOMER REP STATED HE WOULD CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO RECOMMEND NOT CHARGING LABOR FEES JUST TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY BROKEN, AND THE DEALER WAS TO CONTACT ME IN RETURN WITH AN APPOINTMENT. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. I NEEDED THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO FAX TO CHRYSLER TO REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE REPLACEMENT COSTS. I AM LOOKING OUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE 2 REMAINDER BROKEN BELTS INSTALLED. IT IS EVIDENT THAT CHRYSLER OBVIOUSLY REALIZED THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW JEEP WRANGLER 4-DOOR. ALL SIX SEATBELTS ARE MADE OF THE SAME DURABLE RUBBERY SUBSTANCE THAT THE ONES IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY DODGE RAM ARE MADE OF. THIS IS THE WAY THEY ALL SHOULD BE. *TR

AIR BAGS
I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN MY 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED GOING OFF ANY TIME I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. NOW, THE LIGHT COMES/STAYS ON AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. I HAD A MECHANIC RUN THE TEST AND WAS TOLD THAT IT'S THE DRIVER'S SQUIBB CIRCUIT BOARD. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE ISSUE AND NOTICED THE 2005 DODGE RAM 2500 & 3500 HAD A FACTORY RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, YET THIS SAME SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE 1500 IS NOT COVERED. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
2005 DODGE TRUCK / RAM/ PICK UP/ 4X4/2 DOOR/ DIESEL CONTINUES TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO STOP THE SHAKING. DODGE SERVICE CONTINUES TO CHARGE ME THE FIX THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THE DEATH SHAKE RETURNS. DODGE HAS CHARGED ME OVER $10,000 IN REPAIRS & STILL NOT FIXED. I BELIEVE THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS & THEY CAN'T FIX IT AS IT IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW. NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME A COUPLE OF NEW FRONT TIRES WILL "FIX" THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, I HAVE BOUGHT NEW STEERING LINKAGE, TIRES, BALANCE TIRES, FRONT END ALIGNMENT, STEERING DAMPENER, HUB BRAKE. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THE REPLACE THE AXLES FOR $ 2,000. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LIGHTS GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WHILE DRIVING IS TO FLIP IT BACK TO PARKING MODE, THIS ONLY WORKS UNTIL THE LIGHTS GO OFF AGAIN THAN JUST FLIP IT BACK TO REGULAR HEADLIGHTS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH ALL THE DEER THAT RUNS AROUND MY NECK OF THE WOODS, NOT TO MENTION THE 50' TO 100' DROP OFFS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE MAIN ROAD. *TR

STEERING:LINKAGES:DRAG:LINK:CONNECTION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING HE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY STEERING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING LINK INNER JOINT FAILED. HE REPLACED THE STEERING LINKAGE AND DRAG LINK INNER JOINT WITH A FACTORY UP TO DATE PART, SINCE THE ORIGINAL PART WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE CONTACT SINCE THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT MANUFACTURED BY MOPAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55, 000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
VEHICLE STALLS SUDDENLY WHILE TRAVELING, WITH NO WARNING, THE ENGINE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON OR ANYTHING. YOU HAVE TO STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART (TRIED TO RESTART IN NEUTRAL-DOESN'T WORK). WHEN IT SHUTS OFF, THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT LUCKILY IT USUALLY STARTS UP FAIRLY QUICKLY BECAUSE IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY SAID "THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS". *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY 2005 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB HYDROPLANED ON THE INTERSTATE AND STRUCK A RETAINING WALL ALMOST HEAD ON. THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE FRONT BUMPER FROM THE VERY MIDDLE TO THE FAR LEFT STRUCK THE WALL FLUSH. THE TRUCK BOUNCED OFF AND DID A 540 AND THE ENGINE DIED AND I WAS STUCK BLOCKING THREE LANES OF INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. I IMPACTED THE WALL AROUND 55 MPH. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WASN'T INJURED, BUT I FEEL THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THE IMPACT WAS SO HARD ON THE BUMPER THAT IT BUCKLED THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2005 DODGE 2500 DIESEL TRUCK. REPLACED SERPENTINE BELT 4 TIMES DUE TO FRAYING. THE LAST TIME IT WAS CHANGED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME A PULLEY HAD A NICK ON IT AND NEEDED REPLACED. I PAID TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT AND PULLEY. I HAVE 120,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE 4TH BELT IS NEEDING CHANGED DUE TO FRAYING. THE EDGE TOWARDS THE FAN IS THE ONE THAT GETS FRAYED. I EMAILED DODGE A WEEK AGO AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT TRACK FAILED IN MY 2005 DODGE RAM. MY TRUCK HAD JUST OVER 12,000 MILES AND WAS STILL IN NEW CONDITION AND HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED. THE I HAVE THE UPGRADED FULLY ADJUSTABLE SEAT IN MY NEW TRUCK. ONCE THE SEAT TRACK FAILED THE SEAT HAD AROUND SIX INCHES OF FREE-PLAY FORWARD AND BACK. I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE SEAT WOULD LUNGE FORWARD TOWARD THE DASH. AS I WOULD ACCELERATE THE SEAT WOULD LUNGE BACKWARD. I REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT WAS REPAIRED AS I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT TRACK FOR ME SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE TECHNICIANS WORKING ON MY TRUCK SAID THAT THEY WERE CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WITH THIS SEAT TRACK. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I WOULD SURELY BREAK AT LEAST MY LEGS IN AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS TYPE OF THING WOULD VOID ANY CRASH TEST DATA. MY NEW SEAT STILL HAD SOME PLAY BUT THE DEALER ASSURED ME THAT IT WOULD BE FINE. I AM STILL WORRIED. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT TRACK IN MY 2005 DODGE RAM FAILED. THIS TIME MY TRUCK HAD JUST OVER 30,000 MILES ON IT AND THE SEAT TRACK FAILED AGAIN. IT PREVIOUSLY FAILED AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES. SINCE ALL OF THE DODGE DEALERS THAT WERE CLOSE TO ME WERE CLOSED I HAD TO DRIVE MY UNSAFE VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR AWAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT. ONCE AGAIN THE SEAT WAS LUNGING FORWARD AND BACK WITH ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE ADJUSTMENT SCREW ON THE SEAT TRACK HAD FATIGUED, STRETCHED AND FAILED. THOUGH MY TRUCK IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, INCREDIBLY LOW MILES AND THE FACT THAT THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THE PART WAS FAULTY I WAS STILL INFORMED THAT THE BILL WOULD BE AROUND $680 TO MAKE MY TRUCK SAFE ONCE AGAIN. AFTER HAVING THE NEW SEAT TRACK INSTALLED I NOTICED NEARLY 1/4" OF FREE-PLAY IN THE NEW SEAT ASSEMBLY. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND HE INFORMED ME THAT I WAS JUST BEING STUPID. HE TOLD ME THAT ALL OF THESE SEATS HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF PLAY AND THAT I SHOULD JUST MAKE SURE TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT FAILS AGAIN. HE WAS SURE THAT IT WOULD FAIL AGAIN BUT WAS UNSYMPATHETIC TO MY DESIRE FOR SAFETY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I CONTACTED DODGE DIRECTLY ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY BASICALLY BLEW ME OFF. I NOW HAVE A FEW THOUSAND MORE MILES ON MY NEW SEAT TRACK AND THE SEAT IS BEGINNING TO REALLY LOOSEN UP AGAIN. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MY SEAT COULD BE THROWN THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD WITH ME STILL SEAT-BELTED INTO IT. I HAVE SIMILAR SEATS IN OTHER VEHICLES OF OTHER MAKES AND THEY HAVE NEVER GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS IN OVER 200,000 MILES. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY AND AM FEELING VERY IMPOTENT. I ASKED A MANAGER AT DODGE IF THEY THOUGHT THAT MY BEING PARALYZED WAS ACCEPTABLE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF INJURY BEFORE THEY WILL CONSIDER DOING ANYTHING. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. I WOULD FEEL TERRIBLE SELLING THE TRUCK TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO COULD BE INJURED IN IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR
