FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A WHINING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ON THE VEHICLE APPROX 30 MIN BEFORE THE REAR END EXPLODED LOCKING THE VEHICLE UP AND CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO FLY ACROSS TWO LANES OF HEAVY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC. THANK THE LORD NO ONE WAS INJURED OR ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED DUE TO THIS FAILURE OF A LOOSE PINION NUT ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WILL COST OVER 4500 DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING CAR RENTAL TO GET IT REPAIRED, THE DEALER SAID THEY CONTACTED THE MFG. AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED SINCE NEW AND SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITHOUT A RECALL OR WARNING.

POWER TRAIN
WAS DRIVE A 2009 RAM 1500 AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A BACK ROAD WHEN I NOTICED A HUM AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. ABOUT A 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE ABRUPT STOP AND WOULDN'T MOVE. GOT OUT AND NOTICED THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE REAR END. I THOUGHT THAT WAS ODD FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 84000 MILES TO BE FALLING APART LIKE THAT. UPON LOOKING UP ON THE INTERNET FOR THE CAUSE, I NOTICED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS VERY THING. RECALL #12V-474 AND POSSIBLY #13V-038. TOOK IT TOO THE SHOP AND THEY REFUSED TO HONOR ANY RECALL, SO I CALLED CHRYSLER WHO REALLY COULDN'T GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER, BUT STATED THAT WE MAY BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS, BUT HAD TO PAY UPFRONT FOR IT. THE QUOTED COST WAS $2200 TO REPAIR AS I'M SURE IT TORE UP THE REAR IN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN DEC. 2014 I RECEIVED RECALL P65 / NHTSA 14V-635. CONTACTED FOLSOM LAKE DODGE IN FOLSOM, CA AND WAS TOLD "CORPORATE HAS NOT SENT US THE PARTS". CONTACT AGAIN IN FEBRUARY AND WAS TOLD NHTSA HAD NO AUTHORITY TO COMPEL THE DEALERSHIP TO HONOR THE RECALL AND THAT CORPORATE IS THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT CORPORATE...I WAS GIVEN A NUMBER TO CALL. CALLED THE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LOCAL DEALER WOULD BE SENT THE REQUIRED PARTS AND IT WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. JUNE I WENT TO THE DEALER IN PERSON AND WAS TOLD CONFIDENTIALLY THAT "WE ARE NEVER GOING TO GET THE PARTS". I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PARTICULAR RECALL PROBLEM AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I AM SUM WHAT CONCERNED ABOUT USING MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON LONG HAULS WITH OUR TRAILER. I THERE ANY WAY FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT TO MOTIVATE CORPORATE TO SEND THE PARTS TO THE DEALER?

STEERING
DRIVING ON FREEWAY 55 MPH TOWING HEAVY DUTY CONCRETE TRAILER ( 2 AXLE 4 YARD W/REAR MOUNTED MIXER) AND TRUCK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING BAD , LEAVING ME WITH NO CONTROL . HAVE INVESTED OVER$1000 IN PARTS ALONE, WITH NO LUCK. NOW AM REPLACING ALL TIE RODS AND BALL JOINTS $500 (PARTS ALONE), TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. THOUGH I HAVE READ THERE IS NO FIX??? CANT SELL IT CUZ I OWE 36,000 AND IT IS ONLY WORTH 25,000. I AM 3 MONTHS BEHIND ON PAYMENTS CUZ I NEED TRUCK FOR WORK TO MAKE MONEY, BUT HAS BEEN IN SHOP (UNRELATED WOULD NOT START) FOR 3 WEEKS AND $1300 MORE DOLLARS, FOR SOME FUEL MODULE B.S. AND MY FINANCE COMPANY WANTS TO KNOW WHERE THEIR MONEY IS, AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK? SO I ASK THEM WHICH MONTH THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT. THESE TRUCKS ARE GARBAGE!!!! NEVER BUY DODGE ( PROBABLY WHY THEY CHANGED NAME OF TRUCKS TO "RAM") SOME LEGAL MAMBO JUMBO TO SAVE THEIR ASS. AND THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT FOR WHAT???? WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE WAS A SEARCH FOR TIE RODS, CAUSE I BELIEVE THAT TO BE MY PROBLEM. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT TIE RODS BREAKING, I WILL NOW REPLACE ALL TIE RODS ON MY OWN DIME, BECAUSE MY LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN $1000 DOLLARS OF PARTS. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING BEING COVERED UP. WHY IN THE HELL CAN DEALERS ONLY GET 15 PARTS (B.S.) A MONTH, BUT I CAN GO EBAY, AMAZON, (WHICH I AM BY THE WAY) AND HAVE THEM IN A COUPLE DAYS. CAUSE I AM PAYING FOR THEM? IS CHRYSLER THAT BROKE ? CRAPPY PRODUCTS, CRAPPY DESIGN, AND GUESS WHAT, NO ACCOUNTABILITY. RECIPE FOR DISASTER IF YOU ASK ME. UP YOURS DODGE , RAM, CHRYSLER, WHATEVER NAME YOUR HIDING BEHIND THIS MONTH.!!!
