ENGINE
WHILE DRIVNG 55 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST DIED OUT I HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. ONCE I STOPPED THE TRUCK, I PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNINITION, I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SHOWING A SYMBOL OF A LIGHTENING BOLT, AFTER RESEARCHING I SEE SOME COMMENTS OF IT BEING A WIRE HARNESS OR TRANNY LOOSE WIRING, HAD TRUCK LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES AND WIRES WERE CHECKED, BUT THE TRUCK STILL DIES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE 2013 ALWAYS WHILE DRING MORE THAN 3 HOURS. I NO LONGER TAKE THE TRUCK ON LONG TRIPS, IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, I WAS THANKFUL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON SHOULDER EVRYTIME.

AIR BAGS
I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SEPARATE RECALLS FOR THE AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE. IN JANUARY I TOOK IT TO TEXAN DODGE IN HUMBLE, TX. FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAGS AND WAS TOLD THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME. THEY PROMISED TO CALL BACK WHEN PARTS AVAILABLE. WE HAVE CHECKED BACK SEVERAL TIME AND STILL NO PARTS. WE RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL ON MAY 29, 2015 FOR THE AIR BAGS AGAIN. WE CONTACTED TEXAN DODGE IN HUMBLE, TX AND STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THE RECALLS ARE NOT WORTH THE PAPER THEY ARE WRITTEN ON AS THERE IS LITTLE RECOURSE FOR ME AS AN OWNER. I GUESS IF THE BAGS BLOW UP AND KILL ME, MY FAMILY CAN SUE CHRYSLER DODGE FOR MY DEATH.

WHEN GOING FROM TWO WHEEL DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE THE STEERING BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE. WHEN THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE DOES ENGAGE TRUCK PULLS HEAVY TO THE LEFT. WHEN DISENGAGING THE 4 HEEL DRIVE STEERING ONCE AGAIN BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE.THEN A LOUD POPPING NOISE CAN BE HEARD AND THE STEERING IS STILL IMPOSSIBLE. THIS HAPPENS 75% OF THE TIME.

STEERING, AIR BAGS
MY HUSBAND'S DODGE RAM 1500 HAS HAD 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS REPLACED. THE LAST PUMP WAS REPLACED IN LESS THAN 39 DAYS. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK WE HAVE HAD 4 DIFFERENT EPISODES OF THE POWER STEERING GPOES OUT. WHEN THE POWER STEERING DOES GO OUT THERE IS A HARD JERK TO THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS PAST TIME MY FAMILY AND I WAS PULLING A 27 FOOT CAMPER BEHIND US WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT. WE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE STRUTS ON THE TRUCK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO KEEP HAVING THESE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. I WILL NO LONGER LET MY SON RIDE WITH HIS FATHER BECAUSE OF THE PARENTAL OF THE STEERING GOING OUT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH TIRES. SEPARATING ON 3 TIRES OUT OF SET OF 4. THE NEXT 4 TIRES DEVELOPED BUBBLES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. TRUCK BOUNCES DOWN THE ROAD. SPEED DOESNT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR BUT MORE OBVIOUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. TRUCK HAS STALLED ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS WHICH ARE VERY CLOSE TO MY HOUSE. I FINALLY GOT THE NUT RECALL AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD NO PARTS. FINALLY IT WAS DONE 2 WEEKS AGO. WHILE THERE I INQUIRED ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS TOLD THEY WERENT AWARE OF IT, THAN THEY SAID WE HAVE TO ORDER PARTS . I WAS HOPING THE NUT RECALL WOULD SOLVE THE BOUNCE ISSUE IT HAS NOT. I AM AFRAID YET ANOTHER SET OF TIRES WILL BE YET A WASTE OF MORE MONEY I DONT HAVE, AND STILL SCARED OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN WHEN WHAT IS CAUSING THE BOUNCE FINALLY BREAKS. THIS IS A 2005 DODGE 1500 QUAD CAB 2 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE I BOUGHT NEW. IT REPLACED A DODGE SPORT QUAD CAB 4X4 WHICH WAS STOLEN, ALSO BOUGHT NEW IN 1998. I NEVER BOUNCED IN MY 4X4 WHICH I WOULD THINK WOULD BE A ROUGHER RIDE. BRAKES ARE ALSO A ISSUE. FRONT BRAKES TO BE EXACT. THEY GO THROUGH THEM QUICK. AT LEAST 5 SETS, SOME WITH ROTORS ON A VEHICLE WHICH JUST TURNED 80,000 MILES. THESE ARE THE HEAVY DUTY ONES AS WELL. I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD GET BETTER MILAGE. DOESNT SEEM TO MATTER.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) WHEN THIS LIGHT COMES ON FLASHING IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE (IDLE) THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC WHEN TOWING A TRAILER. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW FROM CITY AUTO PLAZA, CANON CITY, CO. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO CITY AUTO PLAZA JUNE 4TH 2014 WHEN THE ETC LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THEY REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL THE FOLLOWING DAY THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON. JUNE 11TH 2014 THEY RE-CRIMPED THE PLUG ON THE PEDAL SENSOR AND THE C130 CONNECTOR UNDER THE HOOD. THAT LASTED ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF. ON JULY 29TH 2014 THEY HARDWIRED AROUND THE C130 CONNECTOR. THAT LASTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS BROUGHT TRUCK IN ON MARCH 9TH 2015, THE ETC LIGHT HAD GONE OFF BY THE TIME I GOT TO CITY AUTO PLAZA BUT IT WAS THE SAME CODE IN STORAGE P2121. THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN MAY 12TH 2015 BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY RE-CRIMPED THE PEDAL SENSOR PUT SOME LUBE AND PULLED THE PLUGS OFF THE PCM AND BLEW THEY OUT AND PUT SOME LUBE IN THE PLUGS. JULY 8TH 2015 THE ETC LIGHT CAME BACK ON FLASHING SO I BROUGHT IT DOWN TO CITY AUTO PLAZA AGAIN AND THEY HARDWIRED FROM THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE PCM. THAT LASTED 2 DAYS AND THE ETC LIGHT CAME BACK ON GOING INTO LIMP MODE. BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN ON JULY 16TH THE LIGHT WAS OFF. THEY TEST DROVE IT NUMEROUS TIME COULDN'T GET THE ETC LIGHT TO COME ON BUT IT STILL HAD THE SAME CODE IN STORAGE P2121. SO THE SWAPPED OUT ACCELERATOR PEDALS GOT THE TRUCK BACK ON THE JULY 21ST. ON JULY 29TH I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO TROUBLESHOOT THE AC (AIR CONDITIONER) STARTED THE TRUCK IN THE PARKING LOT AND THE ETC LIGHT WAS FLASHING. TRAVIS THE TECH THAT WORKS ON MY TRUCK HAS BROUGHT IN TECH SUPPORT FROM CHRYSLER. TRAVIS ALSO GOOGLE'D IT AND THIS IS NOT JUST MY TRUCK. HE SAW TRUCKS FROM 2004 TO 2009 WITH THESE SAME PROBLEMS. WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER FIGURE THIS OUT? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET IN AND ACCIDENT OR DIE BEFORE THEY FIGURE IT OUT?

WHEELS
WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW I ONLY TEST DROVE SPEEDS UP TO 40 MPH. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT ON A ROAD TRIP AND THE TIRES SCREAMED/HOLLOWED AS IF I WAS DRIVE OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND. IN THE CITY THE TRUCK IS NICE AND QUITE HOWEVER ON THE HIGHWAY IT HOLLOWS OFF AND ON ALL THE WAY(HOURS) ABOVE 45 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIME AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE TEST DROVE IT AND THERE WHERE NO NOISE. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT THINKING THAT MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE CHEAP TIRES THE MANUFACTURE INSTALLED. UNTIL 4 YEARS LATER I BOUGHT TOP OF THE LINE REPLACEMENT TIRES AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MAKE THE SAME NOISE WITH THE NEW TIRES, WHEN TO SEARS THEY REPLACED THE TIRES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THERE IS A MALFUNCTION WITH SOMETHING IN THE AXLE OR TIRE ROD I ASSUME. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE NOISE IN COMING FROM THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE AREA. THERE IS NO SHAKING OR ALIMENT THAT IS NOTICEABLE HOWEVER, I DO GET REGULAR ALIMENTS AND THERE IS ALWAYS ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
PERSONAL VEHICLE, ONE OF TWO, DROVE ON INTERSTATE 87. EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING ON THE FRONT END WHEN DRIVING OVER PAVEMENT TO BRIDGE TRANSITION ANGLED LEFT WHEEL FIRST, WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. STEERING WHEEL SHOCK VIOLENTLY FOR 4 TO 5 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON MY TRIP UP NORTH. I HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE, BUT NOT AS SEVERE. I BELIEVE THE PAVEMENT TO BRIDGE THEN BRIDGE TO PAVEMENT TRANSITION BEING ANGLED, AMPLITUDE THE SEVERITY OF THE FRONT END SHAKING. MY VEHICLE DID HAVE RECALL WORK ALREADY DONE, THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THOUGH I LOVE MY RAM, I WILL NOT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, WHITE KNUCKLED AT TIMES. I CONSIDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR DRIVING.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT OUR TRUCK BACK IN MAY 2014 MY HUSBAND AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH OUR NEW TRUCK, WE TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF THE MAINT. IN JULY WE STARTED NOTICING IT FELT MORE LOOSE YOU COULD SAY AND WE WERE CONFUSED AS TO WHY IT WAS LIKE THAT WE UP UNTIL NOW THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP HAD SOLD US A LEMON BC IN A YEAR WE SPENT OVER 2000 TRYING TO PROVE THEY SOLD US A LEMON BUT COULDN'T PROVE IT UNTIL NOW WE TRAVEL A LOT DUE TO WORK BUT IN 2 MONTHS WE KNEW KNEW WE SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO REPAIR THIS MUCH STUFF ON A NEW TRUCK WE HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT WORKING IN NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA THAT THESE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED THE WINDY CITIES. BUT THE CAR WAS STILL ALL OVER THE PLACE EVEN WHEN THERE WAS NO WIND WE BOUGHT TIRES WE DID ALIGNMENT AFTER ALIGNMENT INCLUDING HAVING ANOTHER 23 POINT INSPECTION DONE AGAIN WE ALSO TOOK IT ON ONE OCCASION WHICH WAS JULY 4 , 2014 AND IT WAS SO BAD THAT WE TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR IN WISCONSIN AND AND THE LEFT FRONT PASSENGER HUB ASSEMBLY HAD FALLING INTO TWO PIECES REMIND YOU WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE MAY 24, 2014 WE REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT WENT WRONG AND NOW I'M BEYOND AFRAID TO GET IN THE TRUCK THAT I USED TO LOVE ESPECIALLY SINCE NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA JUST RAISED THE SPEED LIMIT TO 80.

POWER TRAIN
AFTER READING MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS I HAVE, I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER IF DODGE/CHRYSLER/FIAT DID THE SAME AS GM. THAT IS, INTENTIONALLY PUT CUSTOMERS IN HARMS WAY FOR PROFIT DURING THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. I HAVE A "08" 4X4 EXT. CAB TRUCK, THAT HAS A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST PUT THIS TRUCK IN "D", OR GO THROUGH THE GEARS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHEN I BUMPED IT ACCIDENTLY WITH MY KNEE. REALIZE I ONLY HAVE ONE KEY ON MY KEY RING, SO IT'S NOT A WEIGHT ISSUE SIMILAR TO GM'S IGNITION PROBLEMS. I DO HAVE A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS THAT I'M SURE WON'T BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE OR THE LOCAL DEALERS BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES AND IS A USED VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED A BOUNCE IN THE FRONT END WHEN I MAKE A SHARP TURN. YES, WITH 100,000 MILES, I PROLLY NEED NEW SHOCKS/STRUTS, BUT IT COULD VERY WELL ALSO BE A MECHANICAL/WEAR ISSUE WITH THE BALL JOINTS/TIE ROD ENDS. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED A HARD SHIFT IN THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION MY TRUCK HAS, EVEN THOUGH I'VE CHANGED OUT THE TRANSMISSION OIL TWICE SINCE OWNING THIS TRUCK. THE ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE FORD PRODUCTS I OWNED PRIOR, A RECALL WAS JUST THAT AND THEY HONORED IT EVEN IF I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER/MILEAGE ISSUE/ETC. THAT'S WHAT SAFETY RECALLS SHOULD BE ABOUT--SAFETY FIRST! THEN AGAIN, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO A MANUFACTURER LIKE DODGE?? TO THE EMPLOYEE'S THAT WANT MEGA MONIES? TO THE CORPORATE MGR'S THAT MAKE BIG BUCKS, THEY ALL HOLD THE CONSUMER AS A PRISONER PER SE BY PUTTING OUT A PRODUCT THAT DOESN'T HOLD UP AND YET WILL NOT HONOR THEIR MISTAKES BY FIXING THE PRODUCT AS NEEDED IN A TIMELY MANNER. BY THE WAY, I BABY MY VEHICLES, I'M NOT ROUGH ON THEM AT ALL. SO MILEAGE SHOULD NOT MATTER WITH REASONABLE WEAR/TEAR ON ANY VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME WITH THE KIDS INSIDE WHEN SHE HEARD A DRAGGING NOISE. ONCE AT HOME SHE NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING BELOW THE TRUCK. WHEN I ARRIVED AT HOME I CHECKED THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE FUEL CELL HANGING DOWN BECAUSE THE FRAME HAD ROTTED OUT AND THE STRAP PULLED AWAY FROM THE FRAME. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHO TOOK PICTURES AND SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO DODGE WHO THEN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS NO LONGER THERE CONCERN. THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY AND IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. MIND YOU THAT ITS A PLASTIC FUEL CELL WITH A METAL STRAP CREATING SPARKS THAT HAD IT BEEN PUNCTURED WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY IGNITED WITH MY FAMILY INSIDE THE VEHICLE ON A ROAD TRAVELING AT 70 MILES PER HOUR!!!! THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS AND ALL HAVE BEEN BAFFLED AS TO HOW THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK HAS ROTTED AWAY WHERE THE STRAPS HOLDING THE FUEL CELL ATTACH TO THE VEHICLE....UPDATED 08/08/17 *BF UPDATED 08/21/17 *BF *CN

STEERING
I HAVE A 2008 DODGE RAM 2500 AND HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY STEERING COMPONENTS, AS DESCRIBED BY THE ONGOING DEATH WOBBLE SITUATION. I HAVE REPLACED THE RH TIE ROD END MYSELF AS WHEN I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERS PREVIOUSLY, THEY WEREN'T SURE IF THE RH SIDE WOULD BE RECALLED. LATER I'VE RECEIVED NOTICES FOR THE N62 RECALL, FOR THE LH SIDE TIE ROD END. I HAVE CALLED AND CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. NOW THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 58,5XX MILES ON IT AND THE LH TIE ROD END IS ABOUT TO SNAP IN HALF. THE TRUCK HAS A VERY BAD NOISE UP FRONT AND IF AROUND 50 MPH, YOU HIT A BUMP, IT GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE SCENARIO. I HAVE JUST REPLACED THE FRONT AXLE U-JOINTS, ANOTHER COMMON FRONT END PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. I AM VERY TIRED OF THESE ISSUES. WITH THE NEWS OF THE BUYBACK, I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT MY TRUCK DOES NOT QUALIFY. I ASSUME THAT IS THE CASE BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS UNREPAIRED, BUT UNDER 13V-528, AND NOT 13V-529? BUT LOOKING AT DOCUMENT RCMN-13V529-4092, IT STATES THAT THE SAME PARTS WILL BE USED FOR RECALLS N62 AND N49. SO WHY IS MY TRUCK NOT INCLUDED?
