ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ABOUT 40% OF THE TIME WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE (EITHER FROM THE DOOR CONTROL SWITCH OR THE REMOTE), THE LOCKING MOTOR CYCLES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A COUPLE OF DODGE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH A TECHNICIAN WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THIS COULD POTENTIALLY OVERHEAT AND CATCH FIRE! THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I KNOW THAT THIS IS AN OLDER VEHICLE AND THE DASH HAS BEEN COMING APART FOR YEARS. EVERY TIME I CLOSE THE DOORS OR HIT A BUMP, PIECES OF PLASTIC FALL OUT. NOW THE WHOLE DASH IS LOOSE AND RATTLES. I LOOKED AT IT AND CAN SEE WHERE THE PLASTIC AROUND ALL THE DASH MOUNTS IS COMING APART AND MAKING IT EXPONENTIALLY WORSE. LIKE I SAID, I KNOW ITS AN OLDER VEHICLE BUT IT HAS BEEN COMING APART FOR YEARS. LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL AS WELL. MY FEAR AT THIS POINT IS THAT IN AN ACCIDENT, THE ENTIRE DASH ASSEMBLY MAY SHIFT OR BREAK FREE CAUSING TO AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY OR IN THE WRONG LOCATION OR EVEN PROJECT BIT OF THE PLASTIC DASH INTO THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER WHEN THEY DEPLOY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DISCOVERED MANUFACTURING DEFECT AT ELECTRICAL PLUG THAT SITS ABOVE LEFT BANK WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD MEETS THE EXHAUST PIPE. FURTHERMORE, THE CONNECTOR SITS RIGHT BETWEEN THE BLOCK AND THE FIREWALL. THE CONNECTOR AND IT'S WIRING HAVE AN EXTREME TURN OFF OF THE PLUG AND CREATED SUCH TENSION THAT THE PLASTIC CONVOLUTED TUBING WAS PULLED BACK FROM THE WIRING. ALL OF THE WIRING TO APPROXIMATELY 6' BACK FROM THE CONNECTOR IS BARE AND THE WIRES ARE TOUCHING ONE ANOTHER. I FEEL THAT IF THE ROUTE OF THE WIRING HAD LESS OF AN EXTREME BEND AND THERE WAS SOMETHING TO SECURE THE WIRING WAS IN PLACE, THERE WOULDN'T BE THIS CONCERNING ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE FCA AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME MONEY. I AM AN ELECTRICIAN BY TRADE AND I FEAR THAT THIS COULD AFFECT A MULTITUDE OF VEHICLES. THE TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED,, AND WHEN SITTING IDLE AT TIMES. ALSO, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO REACT TO THE COMMANDS GIVEN WITH THE GEAR SELECTOR. I'M UNSURE WHETHER THIS IS RELATED OR NOT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE HAS DIED WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. ON EVERY OCCASION I WAS TRAVELING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT PRIOR TO SLOWING DOWN IN ANTICIPATION OF THE TURN. ON EVERY OCCASION THE ENGINE DIED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN, CAUSING ME TO LOSE BOTH POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, FORCING ME TO JUST MANHANDLE IT TO AVOID COLLISIONS AND HOPING THE GUY BEHIND ME DIDN'T PLOW INTO MY REAR END. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALER SERVICE CENTER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OR FIX IT.

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL IS SUDDENLY VERY LOOSE AND THERE IS A CLUNK UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. THIS ISSUE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. I DO NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK OFTEN AND I DID NOT NOTICE ANY INCIDENCE OF NOTE; THERE WAS NO TIME WHEN I NOTICED A SUDDEN BUMP OR CLUNK IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT CAME ON GRADUALLY, BUT RAPIDLY. THESE SYMPTOMS SEEM TO ALIGN WITH A PRIOR RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE CONCERNING THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD, WHICH CAN FRACTURE AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT NOTICE, RAPIDLY BECOMING DANGEROUS FOR THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AS THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BECOME INOPERABLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I ORDERED MY 2004 DODGE RAM THE SIDE AIRBAGS WERE OPTIONAL AND I ORDERED THEM. SINCE THE AIRBAGS OCCUPIED THE SIDE AREA ABOVE THE DOOR WINDOWS THE "GRAB HANDLES WERE RELOCATED TO THE A-PILLAR FOR THE DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. YESTERDAY I WENT TO ENTER THE TRUCK, PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, AND GRABBED THE HANDLE IT PULLED OFF THE A-PILLAR. EVERYONE I HAVE TRANSPORTED IN THE TRUCK USES THESE "GRAB HANDLES" TO ENTER AND EXIT. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ITEM. I PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION FOR A FRIEND WHO CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AND HAS HAD HIS LEG AMPUTATED BELOW THE KNEE. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO ENTER THE TRUCK WITHOUT THE USE OF THE GRAB HANDLE. THE 2 BOLTS THAT HOLD THE "GRAB HANDLE" TO THE A-PILLAR DID NOT PULL OUT, THE END OF THE PLASTIC SOCKET THE BOLT MOUNTS IN PULLED FROM AROUND THE BOLT AND FREED THE "GRAB HANDLE" AND ALMOST DUMPED ME ON THE GROUND. SINCE THE A-PILLAR TRIM/GRAB HANDLE IS IDENTIFIED AS A "GRAB HANDLE" IN THE FACTORY SHOP MANUAL I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION AS A SAFETY PROBLEM.
