POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AND SOMETIMES BACKING UP, THE TRUCK CONSTANTLY SQUEAKS. I HAD THE HUBS REPLACED RECENTLY AS THE MECHANIC SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T. I DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO FALL OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK OR LOCK UP. I WAS AT AT LOCAL LOWE'S RECENTLY AND A WOMAN WAS BACKING HER DODGE TRUCK TO LOAD LUMBER AND IT WAS MAKING THE SAME NOISES AS MINE. *TR

CALLED TO SET AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE P80 / NHTSA14V-795 RECALL REPAIRED DONE ON MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. SET TO DROP OFF MY VEHICLE AT 8:30 AM ON 4/1/2015 AT CHRIS NIKEL CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP (2920 N ASPEN AVE BROKEN ARROW, OK 74012 918-355-5000). I LEFT MY TRUCK WITH THEM AND I CALLED BACK THIS AFTERNOON TO CHECK THE STATUS ON IT. THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED IT FOR ANOTHER 3 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE WORK. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH A 1 DAY PROMISE AND NOW ITS A 3-4 DAY JOB. CLASSIC WAY OF GETTING OUT FROM DOING THE JOB. I AM A SINGLE FATHER THAT CANNOT GO 4 DAYS WITHOUT MY TRUCK. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES. ME AND MY KIDS SAFETY REMAINS AT RISK BECAUSE THE RECALLS DON'T PRODUCE ENOUGH REVENUE FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO REMAIN A PRIORITY. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS GETTING MY PICKUP SERVICED AT A SHOP (NOT A DEALER) AND THEY ADVISED ME OF THE FRONT END PROBLEMS AND THE DANGER OF CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT AND I COULD SEE THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END. I HAD THE REPAIRS MADE AS I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO A DEALER WHICH WOULD BE 40 MILES AWAY. DODGE IS REFUSING TO PAY ANYTHING ON THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT MADE AT A DEALERSHIP. WE LIVE IN MONTANA AND THERE IS NOT A DEALER ON EVERY CORNER AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO ONE. IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FOR MORE THAN 1 YEAR, THE TACHOMETER IN MY DODGE RAM HAS FUNCTIONED INTERMITTENTLY. ON 3/25/15 I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB WAS OUT. I REPLACED THE BULB WITHOUT EFFECT. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE TIPM MODULE AS THE CULPRIT FOR BOTH THE HEADLIGHT AND TACHOMETER FAILURE. HE WILL REPLACE THE MODULE, AT A COST OF ROUGHLY $1000, WHEN A REPLACEMENT CAN BE OBTAINED. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IT WILL BE AT LEAST 4 WEEKS FROM THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS BEFORE THAT REPLACEMENT TIPM WILL BE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEANTIME, I MUST DRIVE MY TRUCK WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $1000 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR

ENGINE
AFTER GETTING OFF WORK AROUND 11:30 P.M. I WENT TO GAS UP AT A CHEVRON STATION. I LEFT THE STATION AND WENT TO THE ATM. AFTER LEAVING THE ATM I GOT BACK INTO MY VEHICLE IT CRANKED, WENT DEAD AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN . I HAD THE TRUCK TOW TO A SHOP AND ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE VALVE FELL FROM THE ENGINE . NOW ACCORDING TO MECHANIC THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE ONLY MAJOR TROUBLE I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE IS GETTING SPARK PLUGS. IF THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THEN MY 2014 DODGE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED WILL DO THE SAME TIME. *TR
