ENGINE, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP FAILED. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE BEARING CAUSED THE SERPENTINE BELT TO DETACH. THE SERPENTINE BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND THE SERPENTINE BELT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE DEFECTIVE WATER PUMP TO ALBANY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 2315 SANTIAM HWY SE, ALBANY, OR 97322, (541) 967-9105). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE DESIGN WAS DIFFERENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,426. *AS CONSUMER STATED THE NARRATIVE ON THIS FORM DESCRIBES THE 2ND FAILED WATER PUMP AT 87K MILES. THE FIRST WATER PUMP FAILED AT 25K . AT THIS LOW OF MILES, THIS VEHICLE IS ON THE 3RD WATER PUMP. IS THERE A DESIGN FLAW? THREE WATER PUMPS IN 87K MILES IS JUST NOT NORMAL. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.*JB

POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK SHIFTED ITSELF IN 4WD LOW WHILE GOING 75 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHICH DESTROYED MY TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED MY DRIVE SHAFT TO COME LOOSE WHICH I FEEL IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AS IT COULD HAVE ROLLED MY TRUCK. I HAVE FOUND OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN APPARENTLY BECAUSE OF A ELECTRONIC TRANSFER CASE MOTOR READING THE WRONG SIGNAL AND SHIFTING INTO LOW RANGE WHETHER THE TRUCK IS MOVING OR EVEN RUNNING. IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN ESPECIALLY WITH A MANUAL 4WD SHIFTER

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SPYDER AUTO (19395 E. WALNUT DRIVE NORTH CITY OF INDUSTRY CALIFORNIA) IS SELLING HEADLIGHTS THAT THEY CLAIM ARE DOT APPROVED BUT THE PAIR I RECEIVED ARE 'CROSS EYED' AND THERE IS NO LEFT TO RIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND THEY REFUSE TO WARRANTY THEM. I HAD ORDERED A DIFFERENT PAIR PREVIOUSLY FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER WHICH ALSO HAD THE SAME DEFECT AND IT APPEARS BOTH SETS OF HEADLIGHTS CAME FROM THE SAME FACTORY IN CHINA AND ARE USING THE SAME MOLDS AND ARE IMPORTING THEM AND ILLEGALLY CLAIMING THEY ARE DOT APPROVED. I'VE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE BEAM PATTERN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS WON'T POWER ON CONSISTENTLY. IN FACT NOW CAN'T SEEM TO GET THEM TO COME ON AT ALL. TRIED REPLACING THE MULTI FUNCTION TURN SIGNAL/WIPER/WASHER SWITCH WITHOUT SUCCESS. BEST GUESS FROM RESEARCH IS A FAILED TIPM, WHICH IS A MAJOR EXPENSE AND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF PREVIOUS CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. FORTUNATELY IT'S WINTER AND I DISCOVERED THEY DON'T WORK WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. YET SOME DAYS THEY HAVE WORKED. OF LATE THEY DON'T SEEM TO COME ON AT ALL EVEN WITH THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW MULTIFUNCTION (ON THE COLUMN) SWITCH REFERENCED ABOVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I OWN A 2007 RAM 1500 THAT SPITS FUEL BACK OUT AND IS NOT SAFE TO THE PERSON FILLING IT. IT ALSO CREATES A HAZARD WITH FUEL ON THE GROUND. DODGE CLAIMS IT WAS RESOLVED IN 2016 WHEN I FIRST HAD THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOW UNWILLING TO RESOLVE THEIR OWN REPAIR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. FUEL 'SPIT-BACK' THROUGH THE FILLER NECK HAS BEEN A LONGSTANDING PROBLEM IN SEVERAL CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP MODELS, CAUSED BY THE INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV) MOUNTED IN THE FUEL TANK. DESPITE SOME LIMITED RECALLS AND AT LEAST ONE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY, THIS DEFECT, WHICH FIRST SURFACED IN 2001, CONTINUES TO PLAGUE A NUMBER OF MODELS. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES ARE OUTSIDE OF ANY CAMPAIGN, FORCING OWNERS TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE TANK ASSEMBLY. NHTSA ID: 10056513 TSB ID: WB-D-14-23 MOPAR: ON SOME PICK UP TRUCKS, AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN ISSUED ON FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. MODEL 2007-2008 RAM 1500. ISSUED ON 9/9/2014 I ALSO LOCATED INFORMATION ON AN X49 RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WHILE SITTING IN THE TRUCK WITH THE TRUCK IN PARK, BUT UNLOCKED THE TAILGATE CAME OPEN. THE TAILGATE HADN'T BEEN OPENED FOR AT LEAST 3.5 HOURS. WHEN THE TAILGATE SUDDENLY FELL OPEN IT HIT THE HITCH ON OUR ENCLOSED TRAILER PUTTING A DENT IN THE TAILGATE. WHEN WE GOOGLED RECALLS THERE'S A MENTION OF A RECALL ON 2015 - 2017 RAM TRUCKS DUE TO AN ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING TAILGATES TO COME OPEN. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS IS COVERED.
