SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB WITH 16,000 MILES . I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT ROTORS ARE WARPED AND AFTER TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER INSPECTING I DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE PADS ARE HARDLY WORN AT ALL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM THEY WERE SEEING ON THESE NEW TRUCKS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY DODGE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 ST. THE PROBLEM IS STATIC ELECTRICITY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH CHRYSLER ENGINEER HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEIR IS A PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE WEATHER IS DRY AND I GO TO START MY VEHICLE THE SURGE OF THE STATIC ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR SETS OF MY HORN, MY CHIMES, MY INTERIOR LIGHTS, MY CARGO LIGHTS AND MY OPEN DOOR LIGHTS. THE HORN BLARE FOR UP TO 3 TO 4 MINUTES AND THE REST TAKES AN HOUR OR MORE TO RESET THEMSELVES OR I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET THEM TO STOP. THE DEALER SHIP GAVE ME A CAN OF STATIC GUARD TO SPRAY ON MY SEATS TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. AT NIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO CUT OFF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS IN ORDER TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON. I HAVE TRIED THE LEMON LAW ETC. DAVE WEINBERGER A SPOKESMAN WITH CHRYSLER HAS NOT KEPT ME ABREAST OF WHAT IS GOING ON. I WANT MY TRUCK FIXED OR REPLACE WITH ANOTHER. MY FAMILY HAS ALLERGIES AND THE SPRAYING OF THIS STATIC GUARD IS NOT HELPING THEIR CONDITIONS EITHER! AGAIN CHRYSLER IS THE ONES WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET TO FIX IT. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SHOCK ABSORBER
I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 REGULAR CAB TR4 4X4 V WITH A 4.7L ENGINE. THE PROBLEM DEALT WITH ROUTINE FAILURE OF THE FRONT SHOCKS. THE FRONT SHOCKS INSTALLED ON THESE DODGE FAILED ROUTINELY, THEY LEAKED OIL, AND BECAME WORTHLESS. THIS WAS THE SECOND FAILURE ON THE PICKUP. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, AND NOW AGAIN WITH 15,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I CONTACTED A DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THESE SHOCKS, AND THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER. ALSO, I VERIFIED THIS INFORMATION WITH OTHER OWNERS ONLINE, AT HTTP://WWW.DODGETALK.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=151075. THE TRUCKS WERE BEING DRIVEN DAILY, BOUNCING AROUND ON THE ROAD UNSAFELY, AND NO TIMELY SOLUTION HAS BEEN DELIVERED BY DODGE. THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE! *AK
