STRUCTURE:BODY, SEATS
I ORIGINALLY REPORTED THIS ACCIDENT TO NHTSA WEBSITE AND I'M NOT ABLE TO FIND THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE WEBSITE HAS CHANGE. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN CUSSETA, GA, THE TRUCK MADE A LOUD NOISE ON THE LEFT SIDE AN HOUR BEFORE STARTED SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL, AND IT DID IT AGAIN BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THE TRUCK WAS DEEMED TOTAL AND THE MECHANIC FROM THE WRECKAGE COMPANY SAID THE AXLE BROKE. I REPORTED THIS TO DODGE/CHRYSLER AND THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO CHECK THE TRUCK AND HE SAID TO ME "I WAS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE" DODGE/CHRYSLER NEVER GAME ME NO INFORMATION AT ALL, I WAS ACTUALLY BRUSH ASIDE LIKE NOTHING. PLEASE HELP ME FIND THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT I SUBMITTED. *JS

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING 65MPH DOWN A 3 LANE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A HUMMING NOISE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK. THE REAR OF MY DRIVE SHAFT WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND. HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP (COST $133.59). REPAIR SHOP HAD TO MAKE REPAIRS TO THE REAR AXLE HOUSING/DIFFERENTIAL (COST $3,543.48). TOTAL COST WITH TOW BILL $3677.07. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK ABOUT 2.5 MONTHS AGO USED WITH 59XXX MILES ON IT. THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW. THE FIRST TIME I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN WHEN I HIT ABOUT 20 MPH MY TRUCK COMPLETELY STALLED. ALL POWER WAS ON AFTER STALL, BUT I HAD NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, AND NO ENGINE. LUCKILY IM A STRONG GUY AND HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO KEEP A STRAIGHT LINE AND VERY FORCEFULLY APPLY THE NON POWERED BRAKES. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP SO I KIND OF SHRUGGED IT OFF. IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES SINCE THEN, SAME SYMPTOMS: SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN OR A STOP.... ENGINE DIES, NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, DEAD TRUCK, STARTS RIGHT UP. HOWEVER LAST NIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY IT STALLED ON ME A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 15 MPH. I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL HARD ENOUGH TO FINISH MY TURN, I COULDN'T APPLY THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH TO STOP IN A SAFE AMOUNT OF TIME, I DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. I HAD TO QUICKLY APPLY MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. STOPPING JUST IN TIME ABOUT 1 FOOT SHORT OF DRIVING INTO A GUARDRAIL WITH A STEEP EMBANKMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE. I AM LITERALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK NOW, SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND OTHER PEOPLES LIVES. APPARENTLY THERE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS STALLING, BUT NO RECALLS TO MY KNOWLEDGE OR DEFINITIVE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED... PLEASE HELP! RESPECTFULLY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAGS
AFTER RECEIVING THE RECENT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING AIR BAGS, I TOOK MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB TO SOUTHERN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM LOCATED IN NORFOLK, VA. MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED, AND I WAS INFORMED BY A REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REP. ALSO STATED THAT THE REQUIRED PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED, BUT DUE TO A BACKLOG/SHORTAGE, IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS (MINIMUM) UNTIL THE REQUIRED PARTS ARRIVED. I INQUIRED ABOUT HAVING THE AIR BAGS DEACTIVATED AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION SINCE THEY MEET THE CRITERIA TO BE REPLACED. THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO DEACTIVATE THE AIR BAGS BECAUSE DOING SO WOULD VIOLATE FEDERAL REGULATIONS. I FIND IT HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT I NOW HAVE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS (MINIMUM), WITH A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT. *TR

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING AND MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 SPUTTERED AND DIED WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE, AND IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO PULL IT TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AS IT LOST POWER. I WAS HEADED UPHILL, SO I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND LET IT ROLL BACK BECAUSE I WAS BLOCKING AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS 5 PM AND I WAS WESTBOUND, SO PEOPLE HAD DIFFICULTY SEEING MY HAZARD LIGHTS WHILE LOOKING INTO THE SUN. IT WAS SCARY! WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND GARAGE KEPT, THIS TRUCK BROKE AN ENGINE VALVE SPRING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ENGINE FAILS IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THERE IS NO LONGER COMPRESSION IN THAT CYLINDER. I WAS LUCKY, THE SPRING HELD IN PLACE AND DID NOT ALLOW THE VALVE TO DROP INTO THE CYLINDER, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC AND IRREPARABLE. AFTER RESEARCH, I FOUND DODGE KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2004 HEMI ENGINE. IN FACT, THEY REDESIGNED THE VALVE SPRINGS IN THE 2005 MODELS. SEVERAL SITES & BLOGS SHOWED OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT DODGE NEVER STARTED A CAMPAIGN OR ISSUED A RECALL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER (DODGE) AND THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON A BUSY INTERSTATE, I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED, I LOST POWER STEERING AND ANY ABILITY TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. IF NEEDED, I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION, AND I ALSO HAVE THE BROKEN VALVE SPRING IN MY POSSESSION. *TR

STEERING
APPROXIMATELY 110 MILES INTO A 200 MILE TRIP. I DROVE OVER AN INTERSTATE BRIDGE EXP. JOINT, WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY , I HIT THE BRAKES AND CAME TO A STOP AT THE FAR END. AFTER GATHERING MY SANITY, GOT OUT TO INSPECT WHAT MIGHT HAVE FAILED, BUT VISUALLY COULD FIND NOTHING. I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND CAREFULLY PROCEEDED UP THE ROAD,TO FIND THAT THE "PROBLEM" HAD CEASED. 40 MINS LATER I ENCOUNTERED A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. IN BOTH CASES, I WAS THANKFUL THERE WAS NO OTHER CARS BEHIND ME. AFTER RETURNING HOME , I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS LIKELY A STEERING STABILIZER AT FAULT. I HAD THEM DO THE REPAIR, ALL THE WHILE TALKING TO SERVICE ABOUT THE DANGER OF THE SITUATIONS I HAD BEEN FACED WITH, AND IN AWE THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE, SEEMINGLY THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. THREE MONTHS LATER A RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE TIE RODS IN THIS VEHICLE, THAT COULD FAIL AND RESULT IN THE SITUATION I HAD PREVIOUSLY. AFTER 10 AND A HALF MONTHS OF BEING TOLD THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO DO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR, THEY FINALLY CAME IN AND THE REPAIR WAS MADE. THREE WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR WAS MADE , I WAS TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE (APPROX. 11-29-14) I WAS FACED WITH THE EXACT SAME UNCONTROLLABLE VIOLENT WOBBLE, THAT BROUGHT ME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSTATE BRIDGE, WHERE I WAS NARROWLY MISSED BY AN 18 WHEELER IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. THESE PANTS WETTING, SKIN OF MY TEETH, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES HAVE FORCED ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. UNFORTUNATELY MY CURRENT FINANCES WON'T ALLOW ME TO PART WITH THIS DEATH TRAP. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE DRAG LINK AND PITMAN ARM ARE NOW THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I'M FINDING IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ANYONE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT, AND THEY ARE DRAWING STRAWS TO PICK THE CURE OF THE WEEK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
TRUCK LOST ALL POWER, THROTTLE LAMP BLINKING. STALLED ON ROADWAY, WOULD START BUT WOULD NOT GIVE THROTTLE TO MOVE THE TRUCK. TURNED KEY OFF THEN BACK ON A FEW TIMES AND WOULD LET ME APPLY THROTTLE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN BACK TO NO POWER. I DID THIS A FEW TIMES JUST TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY. THERE IS NO THROTTLE CABLE SO IT IS A COMPUTER CONTROL PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I CLOSED MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND LOCKED IT WITH THE KEY LESS ENTRY. WHEN I CAME BACK TO THE CAR KEY LESS ENTRY WOULD NOT OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND LOCK IS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO THE TRUCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR AND REACH AROUND FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL??? *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
THE BLEND DOOR THAT WORKS THE DEFROSTER FOR THE WINDSHIELD IS FAULTY DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING. IN COLD WEATHER THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS DUE TO BUILD UP OF SNOW AND ICE ON THE WINDSHIELD. DODGE USES CHEAP PARTS FOR THE BLEND DOOR PRIMARILY PLASTIC FAULTY PARTS. THE MECHANISM THAT OPENS AND CLOSES THE BLEND DOOR WEARS OUT THE TWO PIECES THAT FIT TOGETHER. THIS CAUSES EITHER THE PLASTIC PIECE TO BREAK COMPLETELY OR JUST CONTINUE TO ROTATE WITHOUT OPENING OR CLOSING THE BLEND DOOR. DODGE WILL NOTRECALL THIS BECAUSE IN ORDER TO DO IT RIGHT THEY HAVE TO PULL THE WHOLE VENTILATION BOX AND HEATER CORE OUT OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER THEY WOULD LIKE TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS UPWARDS OF $1000-1400 TO FIX IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT DODGE AND THEIR FAULTY BLEND DOORS NOT WORKING DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING AND CHEAP PARTS. *TR

ENGINE
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE AT LOW SPEED (PULLING INTO AN INTERSECTION FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN), THE ENGINE IDLE DROPS AND THE ENGINE STALLS. I HAVE TO BRAKE WITH MY LEFT FOOT AND KEEP THE ENGINE IDLE UP BY PRESSING ON THE GAS TO KEEP FROM STALLING. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES AND DO NOT TRUST THE TRUCK. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS AND RESEARCH ON THE TRUCK, THIS HAPPENS A LOT AND IS DANGEROUS. WHEN I TALKED TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO DIAGNOSE THE TRUCK (FOR $125.00) AND GO FROM THERE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, IT SEEMS THEY WANT TO EXCHANGE PARTS AND CHARGE FOR THE SERVICE. *TR

STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAD JUST FILLED GAS TANK FIFTEEN MINUTES EARLIER. DRIVING ON MOUNTAIN RD. SLOWED FOR CURVE AND ENGINE QUIT, ALMOST RAN INTO LOGGING TRUCK HEADON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLUP. ONCE WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON FREEWAY. SLOWED TO LET ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND ENGINE QUITE AS SOON AS I TOUCHED THE BRAKES. WHEN I FILL GAS TANK IT USUALLY DIE AT FIRST STOP. DOES THIS UNTIL I HAVE USED UP SOME OF THE GAS. HAVE ASKED DEALER WHO SOLD THE TRUCK TO ME TO LOOK INTO THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I GET KILLED. NO RESPONSE. I NO LONGER DRIVE THAT ROAD JUST AFTER FILL UP. HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL 1500 RAM OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WILL BE LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO GET KILLED TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE RAM 2500 5.9 DIESEL TRUCK TO WORK DURING RUSH HOUR MORNING TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A FEW SECONDS LATER THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO ABOUT 3500RPMS. THE ROADS WERE ICED OVER FROM A PREVIOUS SNOW STORM. DUE TO THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON THE ICE, THE REAR TIRES BROKE TRACTION AND STARTED SLIDING SIDEWAYS BEFORE I COULD REACT TO THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH NO RESULTS. TRUCK CONTINUED TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS INTO THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC WHEN AS SUDDEN AS THE ACCELERATION HAPPENED, THE RPMS DROPPED DOWN TO AN IDLE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL. LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN THE ONCOMING LANE. DEALERSHIP HAS TRUCK NOW AND IS TELLING ME THE FAULT CODE INDICATES A BAD ACCELERATION PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ANY VEHICLES IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC AT THE TIME THE TRUCK ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, IT WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. I HAVE NEVER FELT SO PANICKED WHEN THE TRUCK TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN. I CANNOT DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS I FELT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY, THIS WILL CERTAINLY, AT SOME POINT CAUSE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT WITH THE LOSS OF LIFE IF NOT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ONLINE BLOGS WHERE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE IN OTHER 2004 DODGE RAM 2500 5.9 DIESEL TRUCKS. THESE TRUCKS NEED TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY AND PARTS RE-DESIGNED TO NOT ALLOW A SUDDEN INCREASE IN ACCELERATION. *TR
