ENGINE
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, IT WOULD TRY AND GO INTO 4W DRIVE LOW. WE CHANGED THE ACTUATOR AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN PROBLEMS BECAME WORSE. AGAIN IT WOULD GO INTO 4W DRIVE LOW WHILE DRIVING. BUT ALSO WHEN WE STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS IT WOULD MOVE AT ALL. WE WOULD SHUT THE TRUCK OFF THEN IT WOULD GO. WE WOULD HEAR A WHINING SOUND AFTER THE TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF ABOUT 30 MINUTES COMING UNDER THE TRUCK. THE END OF JULY WE HAD TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP. THEN WE HAD TO CHANGE THE RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT. WE HAD IT AT 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS BEFORE FINDING THE PROBLEM OF IT GOING INTO 4W DRIVE LOW. IT WAS THE TIMP AND THE TRANSFER CASE. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR 3 TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROADWAY IN ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FL., WITH NO WARNING, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND SEIZED, LOCKING UP THE REAR WHEELS AND SHEARING THE DRIVESHAFT, AND SLAMMING ME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ME. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO TIRES PLUS SHOP. THEY EVALUATED THE PROBLEM AND STATED "THE PINION NUT CAME OFF AND DROPPED INTO THE GEARS". NOW THIS IS COSTING ME $3000 TO FIX!!!!

I WAS ISSUES A RECALL NOTIFICATION THAT MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL COULD POP OUT OF PARK AND GO INTO NEUTRAL RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE NOT BEING SAFE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY ASSURED ME THE PART WAS IN. I WENT AND AFTER 2 HOURS WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART WAS IN. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I WOULD THINK THIS MIGHT BE IMPORTANT?

TRUCK WILL IDLE AT 100 RPMS AND EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE IT WILL STALL OUT AS I AM ROLLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT. THE TRUCK WILL CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE TRUCK WILL START BACK UP WITH NO ISSUES AFTER THIS HAPPENS BUT THIS SEEMS THAT IT COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE NO CONTROL WHEN IT STALLS OUT AT LOW RPMS.

IGNITION SWITCH-WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY WIFE AND SMALL CHILDREN, MY TRUCK SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT STARTED, BUT SHUT BACK OFF. I NOTICED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS FEELING LOOSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. I GOT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY TRUCK SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN AND I AM IN AN INTERSECTION? I HAVE BEEN A FIREFIGHTER FOR 10 YEARS NOW, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY MORE UNNECESSARY MVA'S HAPPEN DUE TO FAULTY PARTS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ASAP!!!

ENGINE
PCM HAS BEEN REPLACE FOR THE 2ND TIME SINCE THE ORIGINAL ONE. THE DEALER HAS SENT OUT THE PCM FOR REPROGRAMMING. IT WAS RETURNED AND THE PCM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IF THEY CAN NOT FIND A USED ONE, THE TRUCK IS TOTALLY WORTHLESS. DODGE HAD STOPPED PRODUCING THE PCM. BECAUSE OF THIS DODGE IS FORCING ME TO REPLACE A PERFECTLY GOOD TRUCK EXCEPT FOR THE PCM. BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN IN CALIFORNIA EXCEPT FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS, THERE IS NO RUST. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW/USED TRUCK BECAUSE DODGE DOES NOT WANT TO MAKE THE PCM. THEY ARE PRODUCING VEHICLES KNOWING THE VEHICLE CAN'T BE FIXED AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT TIME.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I WAS GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKE BACK AND FORTH SO HARD I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET IT TO STOP. I'VE HAD THE FRONT SUSPENSION REPLACED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND STILL HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON RENTALS AND ON SHOP REPAIRS TRYING TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AND STILL CANNOT GO OVER 40 MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT IT VIOLENTLY SHAKING. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY IT COULD KILL SOMEBODY AND I THINK DODGE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING ACTION ON REPAIRING THIS OR FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM . I HAVE CALLED DODGE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME IT IS NOT A RECALL SO THEY CANNOT HELP ME OUT. I HAD BOUGHT BRAND NEW TIRES A BRAND NEW DRIVE LINE ALONG WITH REPLACING THE FRONT SUSPENSION 3 TIMES NOW AND I STILL CANNOT DRIVE MY TRUCK WITHOUT IT CAUSING VIOLENT SHAKING. IT HAS 87,000 MILES ON IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS STARTED HAPPENING BUT I THINK THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE OKAY TO HAVE THIS TRUCK ON THE ROAD IT'S GOING TO HURT SOMEBODY.I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN A COUPLE OF TIMES AND SPENT ALOT ON RENTALS .I WILL NEVER IN MY LIFE BUY ANOTHER DODGE DUE TO LACK OF CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFTEY.I OWN THIS VEHICLE OUTRIGHT AND WISH I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT IT.THATS HOW SCARY IT IS TO DRIVE.
