SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING AND HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE WHOLE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY BOUNCING EVERYWHERE (INSIDE THE CAB AND OUTSIDE) LIKE ALL FOUR TIRES STOPPED TURNING. IT WAS SO BAD THAT MY BRIEFCASE, CELL PHONE AND WATER GOT THROWN. I COULDN'T STEER TOO WELL SO I HIT THE BRAKES AND STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY THEN WENT VERY SLOW TO A GAS STATION AND TWO STRANGERS FOLLOWED ME TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT THEY THINK MY TRUCK WENT INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF BECAUSE MY TIRES WEREN'T TURNING. I TOOK IT INTO THE WYATT ARP DEALER, THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL FOR 2 DAYS. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE AND MY 4-WHEEL DRIVE PROBLEM. THE PAPERWORK SAYS, "CUSTOMER STATES WAS TRAVELING 75 MPH ON HWY I-10 WHEN RAINING REAR TIRES LOCKED UP AFTER HITTING BUMP. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERN AT THIS TIME". *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE ON VACATION I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH AND HEARD A WHINNING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF TRUCK. IT GOT LOUDER AND LOUDER VERY QUICKLY AND THEN I HEARD A LARGE BANGING NOISE AND THE REAR WHEELS FROZE UP CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SKID TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. GOT OUT OF SAID TRUCK AND NOTICED THE REAR OF THE DRIVESHAFT LAYING ON THE GROUND. PUT IT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO GET OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE REAR WHEELS WERE LOCKED SOLID AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE TO GET OF THE ROAD. THE PINION NUT CAME LOOSE CAUSING THE DRIVESHAFT TO FALL OFF IN TURN THE PINION MOVED IN THE REAR AXEL CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FAILURE INSIDE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING A LOCAL ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL MADE A SHORT TERM HUMMING NOISE AND THEN A GRINDING SOUND. REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP SHEARING THE PINION SHAFT AND ALLOWING THE DRIVESHAFT TO DROP FREE OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN DROP TO THE GROUND. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE IT REMAINS WAITING ON PARTS. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, CHRYSLER HAS SWITCHED SUPPLIERS OF THE RING AND PINION KITS AND THERE IS CURRENTLY A BACKORDER OF APPROXIMATELY 175 PARTS KITS. CURRENT RELEASE DATE FOR THE PARTS IS OCTOBER 2012. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A WHINING NOISE IN THE REAR DURING DECELERATION, BOTH FROM SIMPLY LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKING. NOISE BEGAN 50 MILES FROM RESIDENCE, AND PROGRESSIVELY BECAME LOUDER ON THE DRIVE HOME. AT ROUGHLY 17 MILES FROM MY CURRENT RESIDENCE, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD FOLLOWED BY MORE LOUD RUMBLING AND SMOKE FROM DIFFERENTIAL FLUID SLINGING ONTO THE EXHAUST. I TURNED ON TO A SIDE ROAD AND BEGAN COASTING UNTIL REACHING A SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER; HOWEVER, BEFORE STOPPING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SKID TO A STOP. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, I COULD SEE THE DRIVE SHAFT HANGING ON THE GROUND, IT'S REAR CONNECTING BOLTS SHEARED, AND THE DIFFERENTIAL YOKE WAS MISSING. I COULD SEE THE PINION SHAFT SLOPPILY RESTING IN THE THE DIFFERENTIAL WHERE THE YOKE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I PAID TO HAVE IT HAULED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHO INDICATED THEY "DID NOT HAVE A QUALIFIED REAR END TECHNICIAN", AND SAID I'D "HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO ANOTHER ONE AT MY PERSONAL EXPENSE" 50 MILES AWAY. AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER, THEY REIMBURSED MY TOWING EXPENSE, AND TOWED IT TO THE OTHER DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP SAID THE RING AND PINION WERE BROKEN, AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE CARRIER. AFTER WAITING ONE MONTH WITHOUT MY TRUCK, I CONTACTED THEM AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS NECESSARY TO FIX THE VEHICLE WERE ON BACKORDER, AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 3 MONTHS. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO EXPEDITE THE PARTS, AND THAT AFTERNOON WAS TOLD THE PARTS HAD ARRIVED, AND WOULD BE FIXED IN 2-3 DAYS. AFTER ONE DAY, I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER OKAYED AFTERMARKET PARTS TO EXPEDITE THE REPAIR, BUT WERE FLAWED PREVENTING CORRECT REPAIR. THEY OFFERED TO LET ME HAVE IT BACK, BUT WARNED ME IT WOULD MAKE MORE NOISE THAN BEFORE. I REQUESTED THAT THEY FIX IT RIGHT OR NOT AT ALL. CHRYSLER THEN INDICATED PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 5 MONTHS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AT 55 MPH ALONG UNDIVIDED 2 LANE HIGHWAY. DIFFERENTIAL BEGAN TO MAKE WHINING NOISE AND THEN WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP AND THE DRIVE SHAFT YOKE BROKE CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO DROP TO THE GROUND. DUE TO THE SPEED, VEHICLE CONTROL WAS DIFFICULT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP. ONCE STOPPED, DRIVE SHAFT YOKE WAS OBVIOUSLY SNAPPED OFF AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE HAD MELTED RUBBER FROM BEING DRAGGED FOR A FEW HUNDRED FEET WHEN DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEAL AND AFTER 2 WEEKS DETERMINATION WAS MADE THAT SOMETHING SEIZED IN THE DIFFERENTIAL AND CAUSED INTERNALS TO BE DESTROYED. DEALER HAS NOT MENTIONED CURRENT RECALLS OR INVESTIGATIONS. AS OF NOW, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT DODGE IS NOT MAKING THE PARTS NEEDED AND THAT A MINIMUM OF 1 MONTH LEAD TIME IS EXPECTED BEFORE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. I AM TOLD NO LOANER VEHICLE OR RENTAL CAR WILL BE PROVIDED. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
AS I WAS APPROACHING TRUCK MOVING SAME DIRECTION IN OTHER LANE (4 LANE DIVIDED) IT HAD A RACK ON TOP WITH METAL SIDING ON IT NOT TIED DOWN CAUSE THE WIND CAUGHT IT A IT CAME RIGHT INTO MY PATH. I BRAKE AND STEERED RIGHT. AND IT WAS ALL OVER. I TOOK IT TO DEALER TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS NOT RIGHT THEY CHECKED HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS. THEN IT HAPPEND AGAIN DOING 65 I WAS SIDEWAYS INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC IN SPLIT SECOND AND STOPPED WITHIN 150 FEET IF I HAD NOT COUNTER STEERED AS FAST AS ANYONE COULD. IN BOTH CASES IT WOULD HAVE ROLLED. TOLD DEALER IT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. THEY WANTED TO TEST DRIVE MY RT TRUCK AND SEE IF THEY COULD GET IT SIDEWAYS I TOLD THEM NOT ON MY INSURANCE OR WITHOUT A TEST TRACK AND A WET SKIDPAD AND ROLL CAGE. BOTTOM LINE MY TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. I DO NOT DRIVE IT NOWHERE BUT WORK WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND STABILITY CONTROL OFF. I THINK THE COMPUTER THAT SENSES A SKID IS NOT RIGHT LIKE IT MADE THE WRONG TIRE LOCK UP. MY TRUCK HAS DONE IT TWICE. BET IT CAN AGAIN IF YOU WANT TO CHECK. PLEASE GET ON THIS BEFORE SOME ONE IS HURT OR WORSE LIKE I TOLD THE DEALER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR WIFE AND KIDS IN THE TRUCK OR ON THE ROAD COMING AT A TRUCK THAT WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND NO FAULT OF THERE OWN. I KNOW HOW TEST FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I NOTICED THE VEHICLE MAKING A HUMMING/RUBBING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR END WHEN MOVING 20-35MPH AND COMING TO A STOP. I PARKED THE VEHICLE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, SO THE TECHNICIAN COULD TEST DRIVE AND LOCATE THE PROBLEM. UPON HIS INITIAL LEAVING HE HEARD NOTHING SO HE PROCEEDED TO PICK UP THE SPEED TO 55MPH TO CHECK FOR VIBRATION IN A NEUTRAL COAST DOWN. UPON REACHING 45MPH THE DRIVE-SHAFT COMPLETELY SNAPPED AND SEPARATED FROM THE REAR END ASSEMBLY, RESULTING IN THE REAR END COMPLETELY LOCKING UP AND SENDING THE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL AND THE DRIVE SHAFT SWINGING VIOLENTLY UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK UNTIL THE TRUCK CAME TO REST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY COMPLETELY UNTHREADED ITSELF FROM THE DRIVESHAFT RESULTING IN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE REAR END. AS A RESULT IT COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE GEARS AND COMPONENTS WITHIN THE REAR END HOUSING INCLUDING DEEP GASHES INTO THE HOUSING ITSELF RENDERING IT UNSAFE TO RE-BUILD ON. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE ORDERED A WHOLE NEW REAR END ASSEMBLY TO BE PURCHASED AND PLACED ON THE TRUCK AND CURRENTLY WAITING ON PARTS AS I WRITE THIS LETTER. *TR

I PULLED ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY AFTER STOPPING AT A YIELD SIGN. THE TRUCK REACHED ABOUT 35 MPH AND SUDDENLY IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS HOLDING THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND WOULDN'T LET IT GO ANY FASTER.

WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE NORMAL. *TR

I HAVE A 1500 DODGE 4X4. WHILE DRIVING HOME (WITH MY THREE KIDS) I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN AND NOTICED WHAT FELT LIKE MY BRAKES GRINDING. I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW AND IT WAS VERY LOAD. I DROVE ANOTHER 2 MILES MAYBE, PULLED UP TO ANOTHER STOP SIGN ONLY TO HAVE MY DRIVE SHAFT HIT THE PAVEMENT. A FEW MEN SELLING VEGETABLES ON THE CORNER HELPED PUSH IT BACKWARDS OFF THE ROAD. MY HUSBAND LATER WENT TO PICK IT UP WITH ONE OF HIS TRAILERS AND NOTICED THAT IN 4X4 WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT REMOVED IT WAS STILL LOCKED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT FOR THREE WEEKS AND FIRST HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE PARTS, THEN SAID THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER, THEN SAID THAT THE HOUSING WAS DELIVERED BUT THE GEARS HAD TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RELEASED BY A REGIONAL MANAGER IN ORDER TO BE ORDERED. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THAT HAD HAPPENED DOING 75MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE THAT I WAS HEADING TOWARDS??? I HAVE LOOKED THROUGH FORUMS AND ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS NOT TOO FREQUENT BUT STILL COMMON. WHAT TO DO? THREE WEEKS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE, NO END IN SITE ORDERING THE PIECES OF THE REAR END AND STILL NO ANSWER ON IF THE FRONT END OR TRANSMISSION HAVE ISSUES. *TR

STARTED TO HEAR A STRANGE NOISE WHEN I WOULD LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR (EMPTY TRUCK, NO TRAILER OR CARGO). I SAID TO MYSELF 'I NEED TO GET THIS TO THE SHOP TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.' THE NOISE GOT LOUDER, AND BEFORE I GOT HOME, THE NUT HOLDING ON THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OFF AND CAUSED THE DRIVE SHAFT TO DROP TO THE GROUND AND MY REAR END TO LOCK UP. I WAS DISABLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. AFTER GOOGLE SEARCHING THE ISSUE, I NOTICED THERE ARE MANY CASES WITH 2009 AND 2010 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCKS WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE. THIS ISN'T A DRIVESHAFT ISSUE, BUT RATHER A PINION\REAR END ISSUE. SEEING THE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE, I THINK A RECALL IS THE LEAST THAT DODGE SHOULD DO IN RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE THE 6.7 CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE. WHILE STOPPED AND WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON AND WHILE THE TRUCK IS PERFORMING THE REGENERATION PROCESS RAW FUEL AND EXHAUST FUMES ENTER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK FORCING ME TO ROLL MY WINDOWS DOWN. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO GET LIGHTHEADED IF I DON'T ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN IN TIME. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS TO ME(EACH TIME THE ABOVE CONDITIONS ARE MET). PUTTING THE AIR CONDITIONING ON RECIRCULATE WILL HELP. HOWEVER RECIRCULATE WILL NOT WORK FOR THE HEATER OR WINDOW DEFROSTER WHICH FURTHER IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO DRIVE. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CALLED DODGE. DODGE SAID THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND IS A SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
