ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE TRUCK BURNS THROUGH OIL AT A HIGH RATE AND AFTER IT DOES THEIR IS NO LOW OIL LIGHT BEING TURNED ON BY THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK RAN HOT AND MADE THE CAM POSITION SENSOR FAIL. I AM AFRAID IT WILL BURN EVEN MORE AND CAUSE PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AND SENSOR FAILURE WHICH IS NOT COVER BY WARRANTIES. THE LAST TIME IN A MONTH IT BURNED THROUGH 4 QUARTS, THE DEALER SAID IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THEY WOULD CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I HAVE HAD MANY OLD DODGE TRUCKS AND EVEN A 2007 RAM WHICH ALWAYS HAD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND THAT NEVER BURNED THROUGH SO MUCH OIL. THIS HAPPENS AS I DRIVE AND NEVER ONCE DOES IT SAY LOW OIL, THE ONLY REASON I FIGURED IT OUT IS I AM MECHANICALLY INCLINE AND OBSERVED THE OIL PRESSURE DROP DOWN TO 14PS ON THE TRUCKS INFORMATION CONSOL. ALSO THE TRUCK HAD GONE INTO A MODE WHERE THE THROTTLE DID NOT RESPOND AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT. ALL THIS HAPPENS AT THE SAME TIME AND IF IT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY MAY CAUSE A CRASH BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY ALONG WITH NO OIL THE ENGINE WILL FAIL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
10:30 PM DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE HIGHWAY NO SHOULDER ON A HILL, IT WAS LIKE I TURNED THE KEY OFF. SURE GLAD THE FLASHERS WORKED,I HAD MY CELL PHONE AND A FLASH LIGHT SO I COULD SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN.LUCKY.. NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED.THE PICK UP WILL CRANK OVER WONT START. TOWED IT HOME,THE ODOMETER READS NO BUS THERE IS NO CODES THAT CAN BE READ AT THE DIAGNOSTIC LINK CONNECTOR.IT READS NO LINK.. WHY DOES DODGE PUT A LINK CONNECTOR ON VEHICLES IF THERE IS NO WAY TO READ ANY CODES SO I CAN FIX IT WITHOUT SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AT THE DEALERSHIP? THE INTERNET IS FULL OF DODGES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT PEOPLE CANT FIX WITHOUT HAULING TO THE DEALERSHIP.SURE HOPE YOU CAN HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM.(AN ELECTRICAL MESS).

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD HAS LITERALLY BROKEN INTO PIECES AND SHARDS 3 YEARS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WE HAVE GREAT CONCERNS FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE DRIVING AND/OR RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE SHARDS ARE VERY SHARP AND COULD EITHER PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG OR CAUSE HARM TO AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MANY VEHICLES WITHIN A PERIOD OF YEARS MADE BY THIS MANUFACTURER THAT HAVE ALL HAD THIS SIMILAR ISSUE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE PLASTIC USED IN THE DASHBOARDS AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT OFFERED A RECALL FOR THIS REAL SAFETY ISSUE. WOULD THEY SETTLE FOR THIS WITH THEMSELVES OR THEIR LOVED ONES IN A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE. THE DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY DISINTEGRATING.

STEERING
POWER STEERING ASSIST IS NOT WORKING. WHEN YOUR MOVING SLOW IN THE VIHICLE IT'S VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEN I TOOK MY DODGE RAM 3500 IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS NOT WORKING AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL WHILE SITTING OR MOVING VERY SLOW. SO IT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I'M A DISABLED PERSON SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL IN AND OUT OF PARKING SPOTS, SO I DRIVE AROUND TO FIND SPOTS THAT CAN BE PULLED STRAIGHT INTO AND OUT OF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK STARTED OUT WITH A DEAD BATTERY WHICH I REPLACED AND IT STARTED IN 9/16. AROUND 12/17/16 I WAS PARKED IN MY TRUCK TALKING TO MY NEIGHBOR WHEN I DECIDED TO TURNOFF TRUCK AND GET OUT OF TRUCK. I TURNED THE KEYFOB TO OFF POSITION ONLY TO HAVE IT STAY RUNNING, I THAN TURNED KEYFOB BACK TO ON POSITION THAN BACK OFF WHERE IT SHUT OFF. I PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY SAME DAY AND THAN THE KEYFOB STUCK IN OFF POSITION WITH TRUCK STILL RUNNING. MY HUSBAND GO IN IT AND STARTED TO FOOL AROUND WITH IT PUTTING IT INTO NEUTRAL THAN PARK THAN REVERSE AND IT FINALLY CAME OUT. 1/11/ 17 I STARTED TRUCK NOTICED TIPM LIGHT ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON. I PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE TIPM LIGHT WENT OUT BUT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYED ON THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME I WAS DRIVING IT. THEN I GOT HOME AND THE KEY LITERAL FELL OUT WHILE DRIVING IT AND I LOST ALL POWER. WHEN MY HUSBAND CAME TO MY RESCUE THE TRUCK STARTED JUST FINE AND HE DROVE IT HOME ONLY TO HAVE TURNED THE KEYFOB TO OFF POSITION AND PULL OUT THE KEYFOB AND HAVE THE TRUCK STILL RUNNING. HE HAD TO PULL THE 5AMP #27 FUSE AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO TURN IT OFF. BROUGHT TO DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD NO RECALL ISSUES, THAT THEY THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DUE WITH MY AFTER MARKET STEREO THAT WAS PUT IN OVER 5 YEARS AGO. THE ADVISOR CALLED ME AFTER HAVING TO TRUCK FOR 3 DAY TO TELL ME TECH NEEDS ANOTHER 4 HOURS WITH IT AND IT WAS GOING TO BE 600.00 ONTOP OF THE 150.00 I ALREADY OWED . I ASKED TO SPEAK TO MANAGER WHO COULD NOT TELL ME THAT THEY RULED ANYTHING ELSE OUT WOULD NOT EVEN GIVE ME A PRINTOUT OF WHAT WAS DONE. I ASKED ABOUT THE TIPM AND HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY. I WILL BE TAKING VEHICLE OUT WITH NO REPAIRS AND TOLD THEM IF I CRASH AND KILL SOMEONE OR MYSELF THEIR HEADS ARE GOING TO ROLL, THIS IS DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

TIPM HEADLIGHT ISSUES. MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT THAT CONTINUOUSLY STOPS WORKING. I HAVE HAD THE TIPM CODES CLEARED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS BEING HEADLIGHTS I SEE AS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY DODGE HAS NOT RECALLED THIS ISDUE. I HAVE READ IN MANY PLACES OF HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH THE DRIVELINE CAME APART AT REAR DIFFERENTIAL CONNECTION. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF TOWARDS SHOULDER THE VEHICLE BEGIN TO SLIDE INSTEAD OF TURN. IT HAS SEEMED AS IF THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP AND JUST SNAPPED AT THE U JOINT. THE VEHICLE APPARENTLY HAD A RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM AND WAS REPORTED THAT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. IT SUMMED UP TO A $2700 DAMAGE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND ONLY PUT 1003 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS VEHICLE WAS CONVERTED INTO A EMERGENCY RESPONSE VEHICLE FOR OUR COMPANY AND WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN A 911 RESPONSE SETTINGS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INVESTIGATED THE RECALL WORK AND HAS NOTIFIED US THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. *TR

ON 1/19/17 I MADE A 7 MILE ROUND TRIP DRIVE, RETURNED TO OUR HOUSE AND PARKED ON THE STREET. ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER AFTER MAKING MY LUNCH I OPENED FACEBOOK TO SEE A NOTIFICATION THAT A TRUCK WAS ON FIRE ON MY STREET. I WALKED OUT MY FRONT DOOR TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON ONLY TO FIND THE LEANDER FIRE DEPARTMENT PUTTING OUT THE FIRE INVOLVING MY DODGE RAM. THE ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF BELIEVES IT STARTED BY THE MASTER CYLINDER. *TR
