STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY
WHEN TURNING ON TO THE HIGHWAY YOU CAN NOT SEE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE METAL PART OF THE CAB BETWEEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW AND THE REAR WINDOW CREATES A BLIND SPOT. I HAVE ALMOST PULLED IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE 3-4 OR MORE TIMES. VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING OR MAY HAVE BEEN MOVING 1 MPH. VEHICLE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE IS A REGULAR CAB TRUCK. THANK YOU. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FAULTY TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE CREATES A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE CAN CHANGE FROM 2WD TO 4WD AT ANYTIME. A SITUATION LIKE THIS CAN CREATE A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SIGNIFICANT SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, TRYING TO TAKE A TURN WHILE THE DRIVER EXPECTS TO BE IN 2WD BUT THE VEHICLE IS IN 4WD WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO TAKE WIDER TURNS THAN NORMAL. THIS MAY LEAD TO THE VEHICLE ENTERING INTO THE PATH OF ENTERING ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
FOR THE PAST MONTH NOW MY 2009 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI HAS STALLED OUT ON ME 4 TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, AND JUST SITTING IN DRIVE IN A PARKING GARAGE LOT. TRUCK HAS 142000 MILES ON IT BUT THIS STALLING ISSUE HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AROUND 30K. I CAN PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND START IT BACK UP BUT THERE'S A KNOCK EVERY TIME NOW. IT IS STARTING TO WORRY ME THAT THE TRUCK MAY STALL OUT ON THE FREEWAY. I DO NOTICE THAT IT OCCURS WHENEVER THE RPM GET LOW AROUND 500-700 RPM. THE TRUCK THEN BOGS DOWN AND STALLS WHENEVER I SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE ON THE FEW OCCASIONS THAT IT HAPPENED. WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN I ALSO NOTICED THE RPM DROP TO STALL THE TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES
EVER SINCE 50000 MILES I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE OF THE TRUCK. LATELY IT HAS GOTTEN SCARY BAD. AFTER A FEW STOPS EITHER HARD OR MERE TRAFFIC LIGHT STOPS THE BRAKES START TO OVER HEAT. I START TO SMELL THE PADS COOKING AS IF I WERE TRYING TO STOP A FREIGHT TRAIN. I GET HUGE AMOUNTS OF BRAKE FADE AND THE ABS FOR THE FRONT DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE. THE REAR ABS STILL KICKS ON BUT NOT AS FREQUENTLY. THE STOPPING DISTANCE DRAMATICALLY INCREASES. AFTER A FEW STOPS THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTS TO SINK TO THE FLOOR BOARD. DURING HARD PANIC STOPS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE HOT THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND I LOSE MOST OF THE BRAKING. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND CALIPERS AND STILL NO CHANGE. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES SAYING THAT IT WAS NORMAL OR I COULD HAVE THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM REPLACED TO ATTEMPT AT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. TRUCK IS AT 142K MILES NOW AND STILL WITH THE SAME ISSUE GOT USED TO DRIVING SLOW AND REPLACING THE BRAKES EVER 30K MILES.

WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH (NORMALLY 55 AS IT IS A DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR) DOWN A MAIN HIGHWAY IN MY AREA, WHERE THERE WAS ON-GOING ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND FELT A SLIGHT "SHIMMY" AND THEN A DRIFTING, SIMILAR TO HYDROPLANING. I EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY, ONTO MY PRE-PLANNED EXIT AND DROVE ANOTHER MILE OR SO. I WAS THEN GOING AROUND A TRAFFIC CIRCLE (IN A BEARING CURVE TO THE LEFT), AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MPH, AND BEGAN TO FEEL A HARD "SHIMMY". WITHIN SECONDS, IT PROGRESSED TO A LURCHING AND SHAKING...AS I WATCHED MY REAR DRIVERS-SIDE WHEEL AND TIRE SPIN AROUND IN THE ROAD/TRAFFIC CIRCLE BEHIND ME. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE OF MY TRUCK WAS SITTING ON THE ROTOR. THE TIRE WAS APPROX 25-30 FEET BEHIND ME, AND ALL 5 LUGS WERE FOUND AT THE LOCATION THAT I ENTERED THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE.
