ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT
TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING HIS 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 (56000 FAILURE MILEAGE) AT 3 MPH OVER A HOLE ON A DIRT ROAD, THE CONTACT HEARD A RUBBING SOUND AS IF THE TIRE WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE FENDER. HE STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO TAKE A LOOK AND FOUND THE DRIVE SHAFT RUBBING AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO DRIVE OVER THE HOLE THEN THE RUBBING NOISE STOPPED. THE CONTACT THINKS THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN HIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS A 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE OVER HOLES WITHOUT RUBBING AGAINST THE GAS TANK.

SEATS
I HAVE BEEN NOTICING SINCE I GOT MY TRUCK IN MARCH THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT MAKES A POPPING NOISE WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE IT IS COMING UP OFF THE GROUND OR OUT OF THE TRACK. I CHECKED IT AND IT IS SECURELY FASTENED TO THE GROUND. I TOOK IT INTO FREEMONT DODGE YESTERDAY TO GET SOME RECALL WORK DONE, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BRACKETS AND THE PINIONS IN THE TRACK OF THE SEAT ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY TRIED TO GET THE PARTS BUT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER. HOW LONG DO THEY HAVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HOW DANGEROUS IS IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OK BUT MY WIFE DRIVES THE TRUCK AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE WILL BE SAFE. *JB

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
1.. ALL 02-2005 (MAYBE 2006) 9.25" LSDS ARE AFFECTED. 2.. THE RETAINING CLIPS FAIL. 3.. AFTER ENOUGH WEAR ON THE HOUSING THE CLIPS CAN COME LOOSE, WHICH AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED COULD GET LODGED IN THE RING AND PINION AND CAUSE THE REAR END TO LOCK UP. AND AT 75 MPH HAVING THE REAR TIRES LOCK UP SURELY SPELL OUT INJURY OR DEATH. 4.. THAT EVEN WHEN THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY THE PARTS ARE REPLACED WITH THE SAME JUNK AS BEFORE. *JB

STEERING, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I OWN A 2006 DODGE 1 TON CREW CAB TRUCK. DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE WHEEL BOUNCING WHEN A HIT A BUMP AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR. I CONTACT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER, THEY LOOK AT IT AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. ON DECEMBER 20, 2006 I HIT A BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE AT NEARLY 70 MILES PER HOUR THAT PUT MY TRUCK INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE, NEARLY HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME AND SLIDE SIDEWAYS TO A STOP. VERY LUCKY THAT OTHERS WERE NOT HIT OR THAT I DID NOT ROLL. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO SPRINGFIELD, MO AND TOOK IT TO CENTRAL DODGE. THEY IMMEDIATELY SAID IT WAS THE FRONT STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER INCIDENTS INVOLVING THIS PART WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE TRUCK. THEY CHANGE THE PART AND THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, BUT SOMETHING WAS TROUBLING AS THE TECH SAID HE WOULD REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING STIFFER AND STRONGER AS THEY CAN ONLY REPLACE IT WITH A FACTORY PART THAT HE SAID HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND IS NOT BIG ENOUGH. *NM

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. TRUCK (2006, 3500 QUAD CAB DUALLY) SOMETIMES ACTS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE NOT RELEASING OR THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT ENGAGING FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP.
