ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
HAD OIL CHANGED IN BILLINGS MT AT LITHIA DODGE ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE UNTIL NOW. THE ECS LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING A MALFUNCTION. I SHUT TRUCK OFF THEN RESTARTED IT AND LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET ABOUT 25 MPH. MY PICKUP ONLY HAS 37500 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD SINCE IT WAS NEW. NEVER BEEN WRECKED. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE REPORTED THIS BEFORE BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING! I PAID 46,000 FOR A USED 2012 RAM 3500 WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT AND ITS A PIECE OF JUNK. IN AND AROUND TOWN THE STEERING IS FINE BUT ON HIGHWAY DRIVING THE TRUCK STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING UNEXPECTEDLY. IT TAKES BOTH HANDS TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD AND THE VIBRATION WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU GET THE TRUCK STOPPED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE I HAD OFF ROAD TIRES. I SPENT CLOSE TO $1,000 AND CHANGED TO THE FACTORY SPEC TIRES. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE! IT KEEPS HAPPENING ON HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE DODGE DEALERS REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS HAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT SOMEWHERE IN THE FRONT END. I AM AFRAID TO TOW ANYTHING OR HAVE MY FAMILY RIDE WITH ME IN THE TRUCK. THIS ISSUE MUST BE INVESTIGATED AND RAM HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION! *TR

POWER TRAIN
RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AT 70 MPH ON THE OHIO TURNPIKE WITHOUT WARNING. NO NOISE OR STEERING ISSUES WERE NOTED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE AT 46,000 MILES. THE SEVERITY OF THE FAILURE CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE ROTOR, CALIPER, HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE, HALF SHAFT, STEERING KNUCKLE AND TIRE. THE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID RESULTED IN THE INABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP HAD REPLACED THE HALF-SHAFT IN QUESTION AT 44,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP DENIES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE.

AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL" I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING THE ISSUE OF THE AIRBAGS BEING DANGEROUS IN MY 2005 DODGE RAM PICKUP. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG IS AVAILABLE ( WHICH I WILL GET REPLACED) BUT THERE IS " NO REMEDY" FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALER THAT IT IS NOT A "DODGE ISSUE" REGARDING A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL A "REMEDY" CAN BE FOUND! THIS IS WHERE I DISAGREE! IF I AM CORRECT, DODGE BOUGHT THE ITEM FROM TAKATA TO PLACE IN THEIR VEHICLES. IF THE PART HAS A RECALL PLACED ON IT THEN IS A "DODGE PROBLEM"? AND SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FURNISHING A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THE UNSAFE PART HAS BEEN REPLACED? THIS VEHICLE IS MY EVERYDAY DRIVER /COMMUTER TO AND FROM WORK AND TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY TO SPORTS FUNCTIONS AND ANYTHING IN BETWEEN! I FIND IT UNEXCEPTABLE THAT DODGE HAS NOT TAKEN OWNERSHIP IN HELPING PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION SINCE THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE FACT THAT A VEHICLE THEY SELL DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY FIX FOR THE INDEFINITE FUTURE ( PER THE DEALER)! DODGE NEEDS TO DO ONE OF TWO THINGS, EITHER FURNISH A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR REPLACE MY VEHICLE ENTIRELY WITH AN ACCEPTABLE REPLACEMENT.
