STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED TRUCK 2/7/15. NOTICED IT DRIFTED AND PULLED. TOOK TRUCK BACK FOR SERVICE TWICE. WAS TOLD BOTH TIMES THE ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN FACTORY SPEC. THE SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO DIFFERENT TIRE TREAD DEPTHS. THE TIRES WERE BRAND NEW, INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP. NOW STILL THE TRUCK FEELS VERY UNSTABLE ON THE ROAD, CONSTANTLY WEAVING LEFT TO RIGHT. WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD IT FEELS AS IF THE FRONT END IS COMING APART. MY TRUCK WAS EVIDENTLY PART OF THE "AXEL RECALL" WHICH IS NOW PART OF THIS LARGE FIASCO REQUIRING THE TRUCK BE BOUGHT BACK FROM ME BUT I CANNOT GET A HOLD OF FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

MY VEHICLE HIT A DITCH AND A TREE NEARLY HEAD ON AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. MY AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING THIS ACCIDENT. I WAS VERY LUCKY NOT TO BE HARMED, BUT THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME WAY OFF CENTER. I JUST FIGURED I HIT A POT HOLE AND NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. WHEN I GOT HOME I REMOVED THE FRONT TIRES AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING HAD SEPARATED AND ALMOST TOTALLY CAME APART. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS ON MY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED BOTH FRONT HUB BEARING ASSEMBLIES AND REPLACED THEM MY SELF.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2004 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS AN UNKNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. SHIFTS OKAY FROM COLD START, BUT SPORADICALLY IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR WHEN ENGINE IS WARM. ONCE THE ENGINE IS WARM, IF THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND THEN IS RESTARTED (SUCH AS A STOP AT A STORE, GAS STATION, ETC.), IT GOES INTO FIRST GEAR OKAY, BUT THEN WINDS OUT AND WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO SHIFT AGAIN IS TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. THEN IT WILL SHIFT CORRECTLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE MANY TIMES WHEN WE PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC THERE IS NO PLACE TO SAFELY PULL TO OFF THE ROAD TO STOP THE ENGINE. WE HAVE HAD TO PRAY FOR RED LIGHTS SO WE COULD SHUT OFF THE ENGINE OFF FOR A MOMENT. WE HAVE HAD THE GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED TWICE AND HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE TRANSDUCER AND THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS.

STEERING
THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE TENDS TO WANDER AND REQUIRES CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT TO MAINTAIN PROPER LOCATION TIN TRAFFIC LANE. $1000 REPAIRS LAST A FEW THOUSAND MILES. TALKING WITH OTHER OWNERS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. MA 10/8 UPDATED 12/11/2017*CN

STEERING
I HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX A STEERING SHAKE/WOBBLE. THE DEALER INSPECTED IT AND INFORMED ME OF A DEFECTIVE BEARING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD NOTBE ABLE TO HAVE THE PART REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THEY EVEN TRIED TO LOOK FOR A USED PART FROM A SALVAGE YARD. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND WAS GIVEN AN OPTION TO HAVE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ANOTHER YEAR LONGER FOR FREE IN EXCHANGE. I AM STILL DRIVING MY TRUCK WITH THE DEFECTIVE BEARING AND SHAKY STEERING COLUMN. IT WAS NEVER REPAIRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THE MONEY TROUBLE CHRYSLER WAS HAVING AND THE VENDERS WERE NOT GETTING PAID AND PARTS WERE NOT BEING MANUFACTURED. THIS WAS ALL DONE AT CERRITOS DODGE IN CALIFORNIA.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AS STATED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT INTERSECTION OF DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF YOU RIDE THE BRAKE AND GAS, YOU CAN KEEP FROM STALLING. THIS INCIDENT STARTED TO HAPPEN AFTER A SMELL OF GAS VAPOR SMELL AFTER FILLING TANK. RESEARCHED STALLING AND GAS SMELL, WAS LED TO OTHER SCALP NOTICE FOR HEMI GAS TANK DUE TO ETHANOL GAS CAUSING THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK TO EXPAND AND NOT CLOSE. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK YOU GET LIQUID GAS IN THE PURGE VAPOR CANISTER AND LINE. THIS GIVING YOU THE GAS SMELL UPON FILLING. I HAVE STOPPED FILLING THE TANK PAST 3/4 AND HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE. KIND OF DISAPPOINTED THAT OTHER HEMI MODELS GAS TANKS WERE RECALLED, BUT NOT THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

STEERING
CHRYSLER SAID MY TRUCK DOES NOT FALL UNDER THEIR RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS INSPECTED. THE STEERING WHEEL LINKAGE WAS NOT REPAIRED BUT BECAUSE IT WAS SEEN, THEY SAID IT DOES NOT MEET NHTSA'S STIPULATION FOR RECALL. IS THIS CORRECT? THE TRUCK'S STEERING IS TERRIBLE AND I WAS ABOUT TO REPLACE THE LINKAGE MYSELF NEXT MONTH ANYWAYS DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING RADIUS. ALSO, THEY TOLD ME THAT I WAS DUE FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG, BUT THERE IS NONE AVAILABLE IN ALL THE DEALERSHIPS IN THE STATE OF OHIO. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY KIND OF RESPONSE, THANKS!! JAMES

WHEELS
I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING DODGE. I HAVE NOT RECIEVED ANY LETTERS OR A WRITTEN NOTICE ON MY RAM 1500 PICKUP. I AM STATIONED IN KOREA AND PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM A DEALER IN HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA. I HAVE THE TRUCK WITH ME. WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I GET NO ANSWERS FROM THE MAKER. I DO NOT WANT TO BE DRIVING A VEHICLE HERE THAT HAS A PROBLEM FOR WHICH I CANNOT GET IT FIXED AND MAY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IN KOREA. THE NEW CAR SALES PEOPLE HERE IN THE PX ARE NO HELP AND ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS SELL YOU A NEW CAR.
