POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK SHIFTED ITSELF IN 4WD LOW WHILE GOING 75 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHICH DESTROYED MY TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED MY DRIVE SHAFT TO COME LOOSE WHICH I FEEL IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AS IT COULD HAVE ROLLED MY TRUCK. I HAVE FOUND OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN APPARENTLY BECAUSE OF A ELECTRONIC TRANSFER CASE MOTOR READING THE WRONG SIGNAL AND SHIFTING INTO LOW RANGE WHETHER THE TRUCK IS MOVING OR EVEN RUNNING. IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN ESPECIALLY WITH A MANUAL 4WD SHIFTER

POWER TRAIN
2004 DODGE RAM 1500 DATE OF MFR IS 02 - 04 (FEBRUARY 2004), WHICH FALLS IN THE RECALL ON THE PINION NUT, NHSTA RECALL 14V796000, CHRYSLER RECALL P77, WHICH STATES PINION NUT MAY COME LOOSE DUE TO UNDERSIZE SPLINE ON THE PINION GEAR. THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE FOR THE RECALL FALLS BETWEEN JANUARY 28, 2004 THROUGH AUGUST 3, 2005. THE RECALL STATEMENT ONLY STATES 2005 MODEL YEARS, YET THE DATE RANGE FOR THE RECALL ALSO INCLUDE 2004 AND 2006 MODEL YEARS. RECENTLY I HAVE HAD THE PINION NUT ON MY TRUCK COME LOOSE TO THE POINT THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF AND THE RESULT OF IT ALSO ENDED UP A DESTROYED TRANSFER CASE. UNAWARE OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE RECALL ONLY INCLUDED 2005 MODEL YEARS, WHEN IN FACT 2004, 2005, AND 2006 MODEL YEARS ARE EFFECTED BY THE RECALL AND OWNERS OF ALL YEARS SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BUT DID NOT, DUE TO THE VERBAGE OF THE RECALL. I WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS RECALL THROUGH OTHER MEANS AFTER THE INCIDENT OF THE PINION NUT COMING LOOSE ON MY TRUCK SEVERAL DAYS LATER. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE REVISED TO INCLUDE 2004 AND 2006 MODEL YEARS WHERE THE DATE OF MFR INCLUDES 01-04 TO 08-05 (JANUARY 2004 THROUGH TO AUGUST 2005). THIS RECALL EFFECTS THE DODGE RAM PICKUPS WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE 9.25 REAR AXLES. AT THE TIME OF MY INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, AS I WAS ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE CITY STREET INTO A PARKING LOT. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON MY BY MECHANIC AND WILL REMAIN SO. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTMENT AT CHRYSLER IN THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE WAS OVERLOOKED AND CONSUMERS ARE IN 2004 AND 2006 MODEL YEARS AND MAY BE UNAWARE OF THE SITUATION. THE DATE OF MFR ON MY TRUCK IS 02-04, FALLING WITHIN THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE VEHICLES FOR THE 14V796000 RECALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP WITH GAS, IT WILL STALL UNTIL SOME OF THE GAS IS BURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING. VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE ALSO CONSTANTLY EMITS GASOLINE FUMES. VERY DANGEROUS AS MY TRUCK IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WITH THE HOT WATER HEATER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER READS "GAS CAP". MY MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT AND VERIFIED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF DODGE RAM INVOLVING THE GAS TANK. THE PART THAT NEEDS REPLACED IS ATTACHED TO THE INSIDE OF THE TANK, SO AN ENTIRE NEW GAS TANK IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING OR FRONT END WOBBLING. AKA DEATH WOBBLE, ACCORDING TO MY VEHICLE HISTORY THERE ARE RECALLS THAT ARE FOR STEERING AND THE DESCRIPTION OF ALL THOSE RECALLS SAY WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHICH IS A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL RESULTING IN A CRASH. ALL THE RECALLS THAT I KNOW OF HAVE BEEN REPLACED. BUT I STILL HAVE INCIDENTS WHERE I LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING AND IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP, I HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MANY MANY CLOSE CALLS, AND HOPING THAT THIS DOESN'T RESULT IN A LOSS OF A VEHICLE OR EVEN DEATH. IT'S A VERY BIG CONCERN TO ME CONSIDERING THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THE STEERING AND FRONT END. IT WILL OCCUR AS SOON AS I HIT A BUMP JUST RIGHT NOT EVEN AT HIGH SPEED IT HAPPENS AT 35-70 MPH NO MATTER IF IT'S FLAT GROUND OR NOT. THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AND FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE BOUNCING OFF THE GROUND. AT THAT POINT BEING ON THE FREEWAY HAVING NO CONTROL OF MY STEERING THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE IT TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS, IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 20 MPH, SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRACKING SOUND. I PULLED OVER BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE SOUND. I DECIDED TO RETURN TO THE HOUSE TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. ON MY WAY HOME, I STOPPED AT A COFFEE SHOP AND WHEN TRIED TO BACK UP INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL BROKE OFF. IT COMPLETELY FELL OFF!! I AM VERY HAPPY WE WERE MOVING AT ABOUT 1-2 MPH INSTEAD OF THE 40MPH ON THE ROAD. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE BOTTOM BALL JOINT HAD BROKEN OFF. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE HERE. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE ALL THE REPAIR/ MAINTENANCE RECORDS. THE REPAIR FOR THIS IS OVER $3000.00. WHY HASN'T THE MANUFACTURER RECOGNIZED THIS AS A PROBLEM? *DT *DT CONSUMER PICKED UP THE TRUCK AFTER GETTING IT FIXED ABOUT 7 MILES DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK BROKE DOWN AGAIN. IT WAS TOWED AND REPAIRED SECOND TIME AROUND.*JB
