DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT CAUSING 6000$ OF DAMAGE. INVESTIGATION RE REVILED A RECALL BECAUSE THE NUT THAT HOLD THE SHAFT IN WAS COMING LOOSE CAUSING IT TO FALL. UPON GETTING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE RECALL HAD BEEN FIXED IN 2014. THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL WAS NOT IN PLACE BUT CLAIM THAT BETWEEN THE RECALL BEING DONE AND THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE REMEDY COULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND THIS ID THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR IF YOU JIGGLE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION AT LOW AND HIGH SPEED SHUT-OFFS. THE REPAIR REQUIRED THE WIN MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE WIN MODULE REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED ON ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE RAM 1500S, BUT NOT THIS ONE. THE WIN MODULE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL DODGE RAM UNITS. ALSO, THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS PART OF A RECALL ON 2009 DODGE JOURNEYS. THE SHUTOFF PROBLEM SPANS SEVERAL DODGE MODELS WITH THIS TYPE OF IGNITION. I WILL BE SUBMITTING A SECOND COMPLAINT FOR ANOTHER 2010 DODGE RAM WITH THE SAME SAFETY SHUT-OFF PROBLEM..

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ONE EVENING MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING THE MOST AWFUL GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. THEN MY ABS LIGHT AND SERV 4WD LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. A FEW SECONDS LATER THE TUCKED BOBBLED AND WEAVED AND I COULD NO LONGER STEER IT. WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM THE WHEEL ITSELF WAS RESTING ON THE HUB ASSEMBLY. PREVIOUS TO THIS I'VE HAD TO REPLACE FRONT END PARTS LIKE CRAZY. NEW BALL JOINTS AND I JOINTS ANNUALLY. BRAKES TWICE A YEAR, AND IT WILL EAT UP TIRES ON THE FRONT. ALSO THE TRUCK WILL NOT STAY ALIGNED. I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND FIRST THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL, BUT THEN THEY STARTED TO GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND. I'VE HAD TO HAVE THEIR TIE ROD END RECALL FIXED SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK ON 2010 DODGE RAM- THIS CAN DAMAGE PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE BAY. IT CAN ALSO BECOME A HEALTH HAZARD, AS THE EXHAUST FUMES CAN ENTER THE CAR'S CABIN. UPON DOING RESEARCH MANY DODGE OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME LEAK AND DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. MOST VEHICLES ONLY HAVE AROUND 50,000 MILES WHEN THE MANIFOLDS BREAK AND THE EXHAUST BEGINS TO LEAK.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH THE DRIVELINE CAME APART AT REAR DIFFERENTIAL CONNECTION. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF TOWARDS SHOULDER THE VEHICLE BEGIN TO SLIDE INSTEAD OF TURN. IT HAS SEEMED AS IF THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP AND JUST SNAPPED AT THE U JOINT. THE VEHICLE APPARENTLY HAD A RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM AND WAS REPORTED THAT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. IT SUMMED UP TO A $2700 DAMAGE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND ONLY PUT 1003 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS VEHICLE WAS CONVERTED INTO A EMERGENCY RESPONSE VEHICLE FOR OUR COMPANY AND WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN A 911 RESPONSE SETTINGS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INVESTIGATED THE RECALL WORK AND HAS NOTIFIED US THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. *TR
