ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE FROM SPEEDS 0 - 40MPH A "WHIRLING/WHINING" NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK AND IS ONLY HEARD WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE NOISE IS NOT PRESENT WHEN CAR IS PARKED OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I HAVE 160,000.00 MILES ON TRUCK AND IT HAS JUST STARTED MAKING THIS NOISE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS. I SEE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL TRUCKS. WE HAVE JUST BOUGHT A 2017 RAM TRUCK AND THAT WILL BE OUR THIRD RAM TRUCK AND AM UPSET THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM YET

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE SITS OVER NIGHT AND BATTERY DRAINS. NUMEROUS FORMS ONLINE ADVISED THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME BUT, ALSO HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF OTHERS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER FOUR TIMES WITH NO RESULTS. I REPLACED THE TOTAL INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE, WENT THROUGH 3 BRAND NEW MOPAR BATTERIES, HAD IT PUT ON THE DIAGNOSTICS TOOL AT THE DEALER AND AFTER 3-4 WEEKS OF GUESS AND CHECK THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. SOMETHING IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN OVERNIGHT. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ONE NIGHT, SOMETIMES 3-4 AND THE TEMP OUTSIDE DOES NOT PLAY ANY ROLE IN IT. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT WITH MY 09 RAM 1500 QUADCAB AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME THE ISSUE. I'M BELIEVING MORE AND MORE THAT I HAVE GOTTEN A LEMON AND UNFORTUNATELY I CAN NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY LEMON LAW DUE TO MY GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION IN THE USA. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD IN THIS WORLD, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM SO WE DON'T HAVE TO JUMP START OUT TRUCKS...PLEASE! I'VE SPENT AN ABSORBATANT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THE PROBLEM AND HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A DODGE RAM PICKUP GOING ON ALMOST 20 YEARS. NEVER HAVE I SWAYED FROM THE BRAND OR, EVEN GIVEN A THOUGHT TO PURCHASING A PICKUP BY A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER, THIS HAS ME CONTEMPLATING BUYING A FORD AND TRADING THIS RAM IN ON IT. IT'S FULLY PAID FOR AND IN GREAT SHAPE AND LOVE THE TRUCK. BUT...SOMETIMES CUTTING THE CORD AND GOING IN THE FORD DIRECTION IS FOR THE BEST. I'M SURE THIS WILL LEAD NOWHERE BUT THIS IS MY FINAL PLEA FOR HELP. PLEASE?!

WIN MODUEL(WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE) VEHICLE HAS 90,000 MILES.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2001. SINCE THEN, THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. ONCE BY DODGE AND 2 TIMES BY ME. THIS DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO CRACK AND SPLIT. NOW THE BEZEL HAS CRACKED INTO SEVERAL PIECES. NOW, WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, THE GLOVEBOX, MADE OF THE SAME PLASTIC MATERIAL HAS SPLIT AND BROKEN AT THE HINGES. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT IS ALL OVER NHTSA'S COMPLAINT BOARD UNDER SEVERAL LOCATIONS SUCH AS BODY, STRUCTURAL, AIRBAGS. THESE DASHBOARDS HAVE CRACKED SO BADLY, NO ONE KNOWS WHICH PORTION OF THE VEHICLE THAT IS AFFECTED BUT COULD SHOW UP IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE BLAMED THIS ON UV DEGRADATION, I HAVE OTHER VEHICLES FROM 1986 AND 87 THAT STILL HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A1999 DODGE 1500 THAT THE DASH HAS ALSO CRACKED AND I HAVE REPLACED AS WELL. WHEN WILL NHTSA FINALLY ISSUE A RECALL FOR FREE REPLACEMENTS. RIGHT NOW, MOPAR AND AFTERMARKET PARTS CONTINUE TO SELL THE DASHBOARD THAT HAS MULTIPLE DEFECTS. IF THE DASH COMES APART DURING A CRASH, SHRAPNEL FROM THE DASH CAN BE BLOWN INTO A PERSONS FACE OR CHEST DURING AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IT IS ALL OVER THE WEB ABOUT POOR DASHBOARDS ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. WHEN IS THE RECALL? IT IS ALL OVER NHTSA'S WEB SITE UNDER VARIOUS CATEGORY'S. WHEN IS THE RECALL GOING TO OCCUR? A LOT OF DODGE OWNERS ARE TIRED OF PULLING MONEY OUT THERE POCKETS TO FIX A REOCCURRING PROBLEM FOR A DEFECT THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF? THE VEHICLE'S CRACKING AND BREAKING OF THE DASH, BEZEL AND GLOVEBOX ARE MADE OF THE SAME MATERIAL. THE PROBLEM CRACKS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON STREETS OR HIGHWAYS. CAN NHTSA HELP GET A RECALL DONE ON THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM?

I HAVE PURCHASED A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 SPORT. THE DASH HAS HAD A PROBLEM IN THE PAST AND CRACKED AND SPLIT. I HAVE REPLACED IT BUT EXPECT THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THIS OCCURS DURING AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE BROKEN PIECES OF THE BRITTLE PLASTIC TO BECOME SHRAPNEL AND PUNCTURE OR BECOME A FLYING PROJECTILE IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. IF IT IS CAUGHT BY THE AIRBAG, THE SPEED CAN BE ACCELERATED WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. WHEN WILL NHTSA ISSUE A RECALL ON THE DASHBOARD OF THESE TRUCKS. THE BEZEL AND THE GLOVEBOX'S ARE ALSO SPLITTING AS WELL. WHEN CAN THE RECALL BE EXPECTED. I HAVE NOTED BEFORE THAT THIS PROBLEM EXIST ON NHTSA'S WEBSITE UNDER SEVERAL CATEGORIES.. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE DASH CRACKS OR BREAKS OFF DURING AN ACCIDENT. OWNERS ARE WAITING FOR A RECALL SO THAT THEY DO NOT CONTINUE TO HAVE TO PULL MONEY OUT OF THERE POCKET TO FIX REPAIRS ON ITEMS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM.

THE TIPM FAILED ON THE RAM 1500 2011. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED ON ALL RAM MODELS. THE FAILURE CAUSED 1) THE TRUCK TO LUNGE FORWARD AND HIT MY HOUSE, 2) THE TRUCK TO NOT START WHICH CAUSED THE BATTERY TO BE REPLACE, THE FUEL PUMP TO BE REPLACED, AND FINALLY THE TIPM TO BE REPLACED.
