FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE ENGINE WILL DIE/STALL WHEN GAS IS FULL, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS OR STOPPING QUICKLY AS IN FOR AN EMERGENCY. SOMETIMES JUST DIES WHEN SLOWING DOWN. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO GAS MOVING AROUND IN THE GAS TANK WHEN IT IS FULL OR CLOSE TO FULL. WHEN VEHICLE DIES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE ALSO LOST MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND IT QUICKLY BECOMES A DANGEROUS SITUATION TRYING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHTS THOUSANDS OF POUNDS WHILE MOVING ALONG A BUSY STREET. VERY DANGEROUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A 5 LANE ROAD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE. THEN WHEN TURNING OFF A 5 LANE ROAD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE. ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70 MPH TOWING A CAR TRAILER THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF AND RESTART TO CONTINUE. THIS IS A VERY HEAVY TRUCK AND VERY HARD TO STEER AND STOP WHEN NOT RUNNING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 THAT HAS A COUPLE ISSUES. THE LATEST IS NO LEFT LOW BEAM. THERE IS NO FUSE TO CHANGE EITHER. FROM MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT IT IS THE TIPM THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER PULLING MY TRAILER. DURING THAT TIME, MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND. ALSO, I HAVE THE NOTORIOUS "DEATH WOBBLE." I HAVE SPENT OVER $4,000 ON STEERING COMPONENT REPAIRS, WHICH INCLUDE 3 GEAR BOXES AND 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS, TIRE RODS, PITMAN ARM, ETC. I AM TAKING MY TRUCK BACK TO THE SHOP TOMORROW TO HAVE MY UJOINTS REPLACED, ALL NEW SHOCKS, AND THE ABS/BRAKE SENSOR REPLACED FOR $1,100. I GUESS MY NEXT REPAIR WILL BE THE TIPM TO FIX THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE AT WHAT I GATHER TO BE AROUND THE $1,000 MARK. WHEN WILL DODGE FIX THESE ISSUES? THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND TIPM SEEM TO BE THE MOST COMMON COMPLAINT.

STEERING
DEATH WOBBLE SEEMS WHEN I HIT A SMALL REPAIR IN THE ROAD AT THE RIGHT ANGLE I GET THE DEATH WOBBLE WITH NO CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND ALMOST STOP BEFORE IT IS OK AGAIN. I PULL A 40' 5TH WHEEL WITH MY WIFE IN THE TRUCK MOST OF THE TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PASSING A SEMI WITH ME HAVING TO PULL INTO THE MEDIA TO STOP THE WOBBLE. I HAVE TAKEN TO SEVERAL REPAIR PLACES AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING WRONG IT'S THE DODGE TRUCK. DEALER REPLACED A BAR ON THE FRONT END BUT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST I AM GOING OVER 40MPH. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE PURCHASED DIFFERENT NAMES OF TIRES, REPLACED THE STABILIZER SHOCK AND NOW GOING TO ADD A STEERING BOX STABILIZER

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, RADIO, AND HEAT/AC CONTROLS IS BREAKING INTO PIECES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE SHARP AND JAGGED EDGES AND LOOSE MATERIAL ALL THROUGHOUT THE DASH AREA. CURRENTLY I HAVE ZIP TIES HOLDING MY HEAT/AC CONTROLS IN PLACE AND 2 REMAINING FACTORY SCREWS HOLDING MY RADIO IN PLACE. THE TOP PORTION OF THE DASH ALSO HAS FAILED AND FALLEN APART OVER THE YEARS AND DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED IT. I HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN FINDING A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT LOWER DASH ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE MINE WITH.

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, ANY TIME THE VEHICLE HITS A DISCONTINUITY SUCH AS GROOVES MADE BY HEAVY TRUCKS, THE VEHICLE DRIVES ERRATICALLY AND TRIES TO MOVE SUDDENLY INTO THE OTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRING AND THEY MISDIAGNOSED IT TO BE A REAR END PROBLEM AND TOLD ME I HAD TO BUY A REAR STABILIZER. I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY. I BROUGHT IT TO 2 OTHER SHOPS AND ANOTHER DEALER. THE 2ND DEALER SAID THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED BUT NOW THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY COVERED PART OF IT BUT THEY ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH DODGE. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE NUMEROUS TIMES THEY REFUSE TO LET ME TALK TO A MANAGER. THEY SAY I NEED TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAY THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT.
