ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING ENDANGERING PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND AS THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING NOR WAS THERE POWER BRAKES. AFTER MANY TESTS IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAULTY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, ALSO KNOWN AS A TIPM. THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAILURE HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A RECALL ON JEEP AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES DUE TO THE SAME COMPONENT FAILING. SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE CITY HIGHWAY, LET OFF THE GAS, AND LOST ALL POWER.

ENGINE
ENGINE IS LOOSING POWER, NUMBER 3 CYCLINDER IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE DONE TUNE UP AND REPLACED PLUGS AND COILS. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ON THIS TRUCK TO GET IT TO WORK. THE PIC IS PLUGS FROM #3 CYC AFTER 2 MONTHS USE. AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER RAM OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM THINKING IT IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
2 OUT OF THE 3 MAIN TRANSPIRATION AND DELIVERY SERVICE VEHICLES THAT I PERSONALLY USED TO GET TO THE JOB SITE AND TO DELIVER HEAVY METAL STRUCTURES ARE IN VERY BAD SHAPE, PARTICULARLY DODGE RUM 1994 PLATE NUMBER (74R 300). THE MAIN PROBLEMS ON THIS TRUCK ARE THE BAD BRAKES, ESPECIALLY WHEN CARRYING HEAVY METAL MATERIALS. ABS LIGHT ON, NO HORN, BROKEN SPEEDOMETER, AIR BAG LIGHT ON, BROKEN TURNING SIGNALS, SPECKS OF RED PAINT ON THE WINDSHIELD, WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID NOT WORKING, NO A/C, TURNING SIGNALS NOT ALL WORKING, WEAR OUT TIRES, ETC. EVEN THOUGH I POINT OUT TO THEM THAT THE BREAKS WERE NOT GOOD, THEY STILL NEVER PAID ANY ATTENTION TO WHAT I SAID. THEY PROBABLY DID NOT PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO ME BECAUSE THEY NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY VEHICLE RELATED ACCIDENTS. BUT KNOWING THAT THEY AREA ALWAYS CARING HEAVY METALS, THEY SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR WORKERS IN GENERAL BUT CLEARLY THEY DO NOT CARE A BIT AND THAT REALLY BOTHERED ME VERY MUCH. IN THIS EMAIL, I AM MOSTLY POINTING OUT THE DODGE RUM 1994 PLATE NUMBER (74R-300), UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT PLATE NUMBER OF THE OTHER 2 VEHICLES. I AM SURE THAT IF SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT TRUCK SAFETY AND MECHANICS TAKES A LOOK AT ALL 3 VEHICLES, THEY WILL SE THAT WHAT I AM SAYING IS TRUE. I AM ALSO ATTACHING A FEW IMAGES TO BACKUP MY STATEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO SHINE BRIGHTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SINCE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (ULTIMATE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 2674 U.S. 62, MOUNTAIN HOME, AR 72653) AND THE CONTACT HAD TO PAY FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 866-726-4636 AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. A CASE NUMBER WAS NOT PROVIDED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
NHTSA RECALL 93E-034 AND CHRYSLER RECALL #605. I CONTACTED A DODGE DEALER IN CORDELE, GA AND HE SAID HE WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE PART TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS RECALL ON MY TRUCK. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL THAT DOES NOT EXPIRE. I NEED TO GET THIS RESOLVED. THE PART NUMBER I FOUND WAS C3906051. THIS WAS FROM THE OLD CHRYSLER RECALL NOTICE 605. I ALSO SEARCHED MOPAR PARTS AND COULD NOT FIND IT. SURELY THE PART IS AVAILABLE SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL. I CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER BY EMAIL AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS:>>WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING RECALLS OF THIS AGE COMPLETED IT DOES DEPEND ON IF THE PART IS STILL AVAILABLE, TO ATTEMPT TO LOCATE THE PART YOU WILL NEED TO WORK WITH A LOCAL FCA DEALERSHIP, AS THEY ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO ASSIST. ALSO, IF YOU ARE AT ALL CONCERNED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR TRUCK I DO SUGGEST BRINGING IT INTO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS, AS THEY ARE FACTORY TRAINED TO WORK ON OUR VEHICLES.<<<< THIS IS A POOR RESPONSE. THE PART IS NO LONGER MADE NEW SINCE IT WAS LAST USED IN 1993. HOWEVER THERE ARE PLENTY USED REBUILT ONES AVAILABLE. I TALKED TO TWO DEALERS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND ARE NOT HAVING ANY LUCK FINDING. I AM STILL IN TOUCH WITH THE ONE IN CORDELE AND HE IS LOOKING FOR THE PART. FIAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE NOT MY LOCAL DEALER FRO RESOLVING THIS. MY DODGE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER REFERENCE NUMBER IS: 33027978 EMAIL CASE NUMBER: 3572678 SO FAR THE TRUCK IS FINE BUT IF OR WHEN THE THROTTLE BREAKS, THE TRUCK WILL RUN WIDE OPEN AND EVEN POSSIBLY NOT SHUTDOWN. I NEED THE TRUCK FIXED ASAP AS I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP IT OFF THE ROAD. A NEW RE-MANUFACTURED PUMP IS AROUND $1500 PLUS LABOR SO I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX IT MYSELF AND IT IS NOT MY PLACE TO SINCE IT IS A RECALL. THANKS

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY IGNITION IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST TURN OFF WHEN THE TRUCK IS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT WANT TO START THE TRUCK YOU HAVE TO TRY 4 OR 5 TIMES TO GET IT TO START THE TRUCK. SOMETIMES YOU CANNOT TURN THE TRUCK OFF. SOMETIMES THE KEY FOB GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING BACK TO OUR HOTEL THE TRUCK WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR AFTER 3RD AND PUT ITSELF INTO LIMP MODE. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANY ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS, THE TRUCK WAS DRIVING NORMAL AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DID THIS. WE HAVE A BULLY DOG TUNER AND IT DIDN'T SHOW ANY CODES AT FIRST UNTIL WE DROVE IT IN LIMP MODE FOR AN HOUR AT 40KMH TO GET BACK TO OUR HOTEL. SINCE WE WERE ON VACATION WE HAD TO WAIT FOR A SHOP TO OPEN AT WHICH TIME WE FOUND THAT IT WAS THE VALVE BODY THAT LET GO. I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THE 68RFE ON DODGE FORUMS AND I AM NOT SURE WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL DONE FOR THIS?

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I FILED A COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE AIRBAGS ON MY 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. CHRYSLER CONTACTED ME TO TELL ME I NEEDED TO CALL MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FIXED. I EXPLAINED TO THEM I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERS AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME I WILL BE ADDED TO A WAIT LIST WITH NO ANSWER AS TO HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE THEY REACH MY NAME AND THAT I AM ALSO ON A WAIT LIST TO HAVE THE PART PUT IN ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBACK WHICH I TOOK IN FOR A RECALL IN EARLY 2015! IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY EMAILED SAYING THEY TRIED TO CONTACT ME VIA PHONE AT A NUMBER WHICH IS INCORRECT. I HAVE GIVEN THEM MY CURRENT PHONE NUMBER ON MULTIPLE TIMES. I JUST GET THE RUN AROUND WHEN I TRY TO CALL THEM. I AM NOW GETTING EMAILS FROM THEM ABOUT THIS RECALL AS IF THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER THEIR ASSES BUT WHEN I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ITS ALWAYS THE SAME RESPONSE AND THAT IS I WILL BE PUT ON A WAITLIST. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I WOULD LIKE IT REMEDIED . I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER TWO YEARS GOING ON THREE FOR THESE NEW PARTS TO BE INSTALLED.

ENGINE
TAKATA RECALL. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL OF MY TRUCK, BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER.THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL WAS MADE FOR IS WHAT GOING ON WITH MY TRUCK. I HAVE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT HAVE BROKEN BOLTS ON MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET, BUT IT IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL, BECAUSE MY VIN DOES NOT STATE IT. THE TRUCK HAS THE SAME PARTS AS ALL THE OTHER TRUCKS, BUT IS NOT CONSIDERED UNDER THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHERS. THE DEFECT IS COSTING MAJOR MONEY ON MY BEHALF ON SOMETHING THAT IS OUT OF MY CONTROL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW AND NEVER BEEN ABUSED BUT BACK ON 4/03/2004 MY TRUCK GAUGES WOULD FLICKER AND GO TO ZERO AND THEN GO BACK ALL IN A MILLISECOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. IT KEEPS DOING IT TO THIS DAY. YOU COULD BE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT LOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEEDS WHEN IT DOES IT THE GERMLIN DASH SHAKE. IT HAPPENS SO FAST THAT I CAN'T GET A PICTURE OF IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER NURMIOUS TIMES AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. BUT YET YOU LOOK AT ALL THE DODGE FORUMS AND EVERYONE THAT'S OWNS A 2003 TO 2005 DODGE RAM CUMMINS 2500 OR 3500 THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE GAUGES CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SHUT DOWN AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED? I HAVE LOOKED OVER ALL THE RECALLS AND THINK A INVESTAGATION SHOULD BE DONE ON THIS. I CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE 106,000 MILES ON MY 2004! DODGE RAM 2500. LIKE I SAID THIS HAS GONE ON SINCE APRIL OF 2004 AND TO THIS DAY STILL DOES IT. LIKE I SAID I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER NURMIOUS TIMES AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG AND NO THEY SAY THEY CAN FIX IT FOR A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY SINCE IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, I CRASHED INTO SOMEONE DUE TO IT. PLEASE FIGURE THIS OUT I KNOW OF SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AS WELL.
