POWER TRAIN
I WAS PULLING MY 19FT. BOAT, AND I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AND I HIT THE GAS. THERE WAS A KNOCK IN THE REAR END AND A LOUD POP. I LOOKED UNDER THE REAR END, AND I NOTICED THAT THE REAR END WAS LEAKING AT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED THE REAR WHEELS WOULD NOT ROLL. THE REAR END LOCKED UP. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS WENT OUT. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 34,000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME THE REAR END WAS MAKING GROUNDING SOUNDS BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT UNDER THE ORIGINAL SERVICE WARRANTY. WHEN THEY TOOK THE REAR END APART, THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL. THIS TIME THE TRUCK NOW HAS 94,000 MILES. BOTH DIFFERENTIALS ARE CURRENTLY AVERAGING 45,000 MILES EACH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
(SAFETY) WHEN USING LEFT TURN SIGNAL, RIGHT SIGNAL BLINKS OR NONE AT ALL. I HAVE HAD OTHER MOTORIST THINK I WAS TURNING RIGHT AND GO AROUND ME AS I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE MY TURN LEFT . I THINK NHTSA NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS ! BECAUSE MOTORIST CAN BE ISSUED A TICKET FOR IMPROPER LANE CHANGE OR AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRUCK STALLS WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP OR IDLING AROUND A CORNER. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP AT THAT POINT. WHETHER IT'S IDLING IN A TRAFFIC JAM, COMING TO A STOP, OR IDLING AROUND THE CORNER, YOU WILL SUDDENLY HAVE NO POWER BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS ON. NOT THE ENGINE AND IT WAS SO SMOOTH THAT YOU DON'T NOTICE UNTIL YOU CAN'T BRAKE OR STEER. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION BUT IT WAS CLOSED WITHOUT RESOLUTION. CASE NUMBER EA05018. THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM AND WE THE PEOPLE ARE SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE PARTS THAT ARE JUST PART OF A TROUBLE SHOOTING ISSUE AND MOST OF US STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. AND IT'S THE SAME FOR ALL OF US. PLEASE RELOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. IF I WERE THE ONLY ONE I COULD UNDERSTAND BUT I AM NOT. WE LOVE OUR TRUCKS BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. LAST NIGHT I WAS IN A DOUBLE TURN INTERSECTION WHEN IT SHUT OFF. THANKFUL I WAS IN THE OUTER LANE AND HIT THE MEDIAN AND NOT ANOTHER CAR. IF YOU READ ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM UNDER 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 STALLS/SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING, YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE LOADS OF PEOPLE. THEY THINK THE REPAIR FIXES BUT IT DOES NOT AND THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. IT STARTED OCCASIONALLY BUT NOW IT'S ALMOST DAILY AND MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. PLEASE PLEASE HELP! THIS STARTED IN 2009 WHEN WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOT SURE IF PREVIOUS OWNER HAD ISSUE BUT IT MAY BE WHY IT WAS TRADED IN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
TRUCK HAS THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS THE RECALLED NEWER TRUCKS. IT MELTED THE FUSE BOX AND THE TRUCK WONT RUN. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE BOX, COMPUTER, ALL COILS, ALL PLUGS, ALL WIRES, THROTTLE BODY OVER 3,000.00 AND THE TRUCK STILL DOES NOT RUN. ONLY HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND TOWED BACK OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT TELL US WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. AFTER 3,000.00 OF LETS TRY THIS I CAN NOT AFFORD ANY MORE LETS TRY THIS OR THAT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MOST PEOPLE THINK THEY BROKE A VALVE IN THE HEMI MOTOR. I HAVE RUN A COMPRESSION TEST AND THIS IS NOT THE CASE. MY ISSUE IS ELECTRICAL AND I DON'T FEEL AS THOU I SHOULD HAVE TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CANT. THE TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WHICH THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND THEN IT ESCALADED TO THE POINT OF NOT RUNNING ANY LONGER. STARTED BY MELTING FUSES THEN MELTED THE FUSE BOX. AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IT TOOK OUT. WHEN SCANNED IT BRINGS UP DIFFERENT CODES EACH AND EVERY TIME. DEALERSHIP CHARGES FOR EACH AND EVERY WRONG PART THAT IS REPLACED AND THEN RESCANNED AND THEY ALSO CHARGE LABOR FOR EACH WRONG PART REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE. DRIVING 2 MILES DOWN A DIRT ROAD SPEED OF 25MPH, VEHICLE STARTED TO MISS AND JUST CONTINUED TO GET WORSE TO THE POINT IT WILL NOT IDLE. YOU CAN NOT HOLD A STEADY FUEL PEDAL AND KEEP IT RUNNING IT STALLS. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS RECALLED AND NOT AVAILABLE, TIE ROD ASSEMBLY IS RECALLED NOT AVAILABLE A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I ASKED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I CURRENTLY OWN A 2003 2500 HD YARD ORNAMENT. HOW CAN CHRYSLERS GET AWAY WITH THIS?
