AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
15V-313 WE HAVE A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 THAT HAS ALL THE ISSUES I'VE READ ON HERE FOR COMPLAINTS. THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORK ON THE HIGHEST SETTING AND WHEN TURNED OFF STOP WHEREVER ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN YOU TURN THE SWITCH TO SHUT THEM OFF, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE LEAKING OIL SOME PLACE, HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBELIES, REAR END HAS FOAM IN THE FLUID, IM GUESSING FROM READING THIS THAT MY REAR AXEL IS ABOUT TO FLY OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY TEUCK WHILE DRIVING BY THE WAY IT SOUNDS AND SLIPS, AND NOW A RECALL ON AIR BAGS. I FEAR EVERYTIME I DRIVE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY TRUCK AND BY THE SOUNDS OF IT AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS THAT THERE IS GOOD REASON TO FEAR FOR MY LIFE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE MADE AVAILABLE TO DRIVE IF THERE THIS DANGEROUS. SOUNDS LIKE CHRYSLER SHOULD BE BUYING THESE TRUCKS BACK SO ALL THERE CUSTOMERS DONT HAVE TO RISK THERE LIVES DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN A POOR DESIGNED VEHICLE THE PRODUCED. NOT SURE WHY THERE ALLOWED TO KEEP THEM ON THE STREETS BEING SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. OUR TRUCK HAS EVERY PROBLEM THAT PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT ON HERE BUT YET ONLY HAS ONE RECALL WHEN LOOKED UP BY VIN. WHY IS THAT?

STEERING
I AM EXPERIENCING THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. FRONT OF VEHICLE WOBBLES AND SHAKES DANGEROUSLY AND ONLY STOPS WHEN I SLOW DOWN. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON ANY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I READ INFORMATION ABOUT STEERING OR TIE RODS/STABILIZATION BEING INEFFECTIVE ON 1999-2008 MODEL TRUCKS. CAN THIS BE REPAIRED/FIXED AND WILL THE COST BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER?

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY DODGE RAM TRUCK REAR AXLE LOCKED UP AND THREW THE DRIVESHAFT OUT ONTO THE ROAD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK, THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERYWHERE. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE TRANSFER CASE WAS CRACKED IN HALF. I WAS LEFT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF CATFISH LAKE ROAD. HAD TO CALL FAMILY TO COME GET ME AND CALLED THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED BACK TO THE HOUSE. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON JUNE 20, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 08:00PM. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. MY TRUCK COULD HAVE FLIPPED IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL BECAUSE THE REAR AXLE COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATALITY.

RECENTLY MY 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB STARTED LOCKING UP AS IF I WAS SLAMMING ON MY BRAKES WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND NOT TOUCHING MY BRAKES. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHENEVER I WAS DRIVING 60MPH OR GREATER ON ANY KIND OF ROAD GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I HAD THE BRAKE LINES FLUSHED AND NEW BRAKE FLUID PUT IN ALONG WITH CLEANING OUT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND PUTTING IN EXPENSIVE SYNTHETIC OIL AND STILL NO CHANGE. I'VE CALLED DODGE CORPORATE ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE BOOKS ABOUT THIS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK YEARS. I HAD MY MECHANIC PUT THE DODGE COMPUTER ON IT AND IT SHOWED NO CODES. HE HAS NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT TO DO. NEITHER DO I.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON JUNE 8, 2016, MY VEHICLE /TRUCK WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE INDICATED DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL WORK. DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH ECU DUE TO BATTERY CHANGE, I REQUESTED A REFLASH OF THE ECU BE PERFORMED IN ORDER FOR VEHICLE TO PASS SMOG. I SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM DEALERSHIP STATING VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. UPON TAKING POSSESSION OF THE TRUCK I WAS ADVISED BY PHIL (SERVICE TECH) THAT REFLASH WAS PREFORMED AND ADDITIONAL UPDATES WERE PROGRAMMED INTO THE ECU. PRIOR TO LEAVING LOCATION, I WAS ADVISED THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED DURING THE ECU REFLASH. ON JUNE 11, 2016, I BEGAN DRIVING THE TRUCK PER IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERAL MOTORS "DRIVE CYCLE" PROCEDURES. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES INTO DRIVING VEHICLE, THE HEATING ELEMENT WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN THE DASH WHILE THE SEAT BELT CHIME SOUNDED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS WARNING LIGHT/SEAT BELT CHIME CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL CYCLES, EACH TIME THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATION LASTING SEVERAL MINUTES THEN GOING OFF ONLY TO SHOULD AGAIN MINUTES LATER. ON JUNE 21, 2016, I SPOKE TO PHIL (AUTONATION DODGE SERVICE TECH) WHO EXPLAINED NO WORK HAD BEEN DONE TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM SINCE JUNE, 16. AS OF THE SUBMISSION OF THIS COMPLAINT, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED TELEPHONE CALL BACK FROM DODGE. I CURRENTLY RETAIN VOICE MESSAGE FRO ADRIAN, ALL RECEIPTS/INVOICES, CELLPHONE VIDEO OF INDICATOR LIGHT/SEAT BELT ALARM SOUNDING, AS AS ALL CALL LOGS. FURTHERMORE, DODGE REFUSES TO REPAIR A PROBLEM THEY CAUSED AND IS REFUSING TO LOOK FOR AN ALTERNATE SOLUTION TO REPAIR DAMAGE THEY CAUSED.
