ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY 2012 RAM 1500 IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE WIN MODULE AND WILL SHUT OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT WILL SOMETIMES NOT START AND IT HAS DIED ON ME ON THE INTERSTATE RUNNING 55MPH+. THE WIN MODULE HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS OF CHRYSLER DODGE MODELS BUT NOT THE RAM. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE OFTEN TIMES I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AND I LOOSE STEERING WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. I'VE READ IN NUMEROUS FORUMS AND TALKED WITH OTHER WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE WITH GETTING IT FIXED. I WOULD LIKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE ME AND MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE IS SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS SIMPLE YET VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AT OWNERS COST.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IT'S A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. WHILE I'M STARTING IT, I HAVE TO RESTOP WHEN I'M DRIVING NO WARNING, IT'S A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THAT ADDS A HUGE DANGER WHEN YOUR TRUCK DIES IN MOTION IT'S A BIG TRUCK IT'S A WORK TRUCK WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE HORRIFYING.!! PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY THIS IS A HUGE DANGER I CAN'T STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS AND I'M SURE ALL THE ALL OF THEM ARE

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THE LIGHT JUST STAYED ON AND REMAINS ON. WHEN MY TRUCK WAS IN FOR SERVICE, I WAS INFORMED THE OCR MODULE HAD FAILED AND WAS QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $750 TO REPAIR. SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A NON-SERVICEABLE SAFETY COMPONENT THAT HAS FAILED. I HOPE THIS SYSTEM FAILURE IS A RECALL ISSUE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE HEATER IN THE TRUCK WILL NOT THROW OUT HEAT IN VENTS ON TOP OF DASH AND ONLY PUT HEAT OUT ON DRIVERS SIDE IN OTHER VENTS FOR FLOOR OR PANEL. SO THERE IS NO HEAT COMING OUT OF DEFROSTER VENTS. WILL NOT DEFROST FRONT WINDSHIELD. CANNOT SEE OUT OF WINDSHIELD CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE VEHICLE. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS.

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE RAM 2500 ST. THE VEHICLE IGNITION WON'T ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START SOME TIMES.

IVE HAD TO ROLL TO THE SIE OF THE ROAD ON MUTIPLE OCCASSIONS UNTIL I CAN GET IT RESTARTED, LUCKILY I HAVENT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE WIN MODULE ON THE DODGE VEHICLES YET THERE HASNT BEEN A RECALL INITIATED. IT'S TURNING INTO A DAILY OCCURRACE WITH THIS.

TIRES
GALAVIZ AUTO REPAIR & TIRES748 N ARIZONA AVE, CHANDLER, AZ 85225 ACCORDING TO THEM I GOT A DEAL, 4 BRAND NEW TIRES FOR MY DODGE RAM 1500 FOR 400. ME BEING A FEMALE, NOT KNOWING MUCH, DIDN'T NOTICE THE BRANDS WERE NOT EVEN THE SAME AND SIZE ON TWO WERE NOT LIKE THE OTHER TWO. THEY WEREN'T BRAND NEW, USED AND SUPPOSEDLY A YEAR WARRANTY. THE REASON I WENT BACK WAS TO CHECK ON THE TIRE RECALL, OWNER AND SON SAID THEY DON'T DO RECALLS OR REPORT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH NHTSA. HAVE NO RECORDS OF TIRES SOLD AT THERE SHOP. I WAS SCREWED OVER BY AN EX CO WORKER SELLING TIRES AT HIS OWN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. THEY COULDN'T HELP ME WITH ANY THING THAT HAS TO DO WITH RECALLS.

SERVICE BRAKES
PLEASE LOOK INTO ABS MODULE AND HCU FAILURES REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I SPOKE WITH DODGE AND THEY STATED IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAVE BEEN FAILING ON RAM 2500 AND 3500 SINCE 2006. MY TRUCK IS A 2012 WITH JUST 35972, (NOT A DAILY DRIVEN TRUCK SO YES LOW MILES) MILES ON IT AND IS FAILING. THIS FAILURE CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO STOP FUNCTIONING. PLEASE LOOK INTO RAM FORUMS AND READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND LOOK AT THE VARIATIONS IN YEARS, IF THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE THE ABS TO FAIL HOW ARE THEY NOT REPAIRING THIS. THIS TRUCKNIS STILL ON THE FACTORY INSTALLED BRAKES

ENGINE
AT 70 MPH THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AS IF A SWITCH WAS FLIPPED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, ALWAYS ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALWAYS WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND ACTIVE. IT OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY IN THE HOT SUMMER MONTHS (110+ F). THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE THROTTLE CONTROL CIRCUIT SOMETIMES ILLUMINATES. WHILE STILL MOVING, SELECTING NEUTRAL, TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON ALLOWS THE ENGINE TO RESTART. THIS CAN OCCUR AS FREQUENTLY AS EVERY 60 MILES, BUT THE AVERAGE OCCURRENCE WOULD BE AROUND 150 MILES.
