POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING SOUND FROM THE REAR AXLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. I SLOWED DOWN TO SEE IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEN I COULD SENSE THAT THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS SOMEHOW LAGGING WHILE ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. I DROVE AT ABOUT 40-60 MPH ALL DAY AND DECIDED TO DROP IT OFF AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. NEXT DAY, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE PERSON EXPLAINING THAT MY TRUCK'S DRIVE SHAFT FELL DOWN AS SOON AS HE TOOK IT OUT TO A TEST DRIVE ON INTERSTATE 10. HE TOLD ME THAT THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE GARAGE WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT GETTING DRAGGED ON THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER AND I BOTH HAD TO MAKE A NUMEROUS PHONE CALL TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE AGREED THAT IT WAS DUE TO A RECALL THAT I HAD NOT HAVE. CHRYSLER REP., AFTER 3 HOURS OF TALKING ON THE PHONE AND WAITING, AGREED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE REPAIR AND THE DEALERSHIP PUT THE DRIVE SHAFT, WHICH HAD BEEN DRAGGED ON THE GROUND FOR 1/4 MILE, BACK TO MY TRUCK WITHOUT REPLACING IT. EVER SINCE THEN, IT HAS BEEN MAKING A VERY ANNOYING "WHINING" SOUND FROM THE REAR AXLE AT LOW SPEED(10-40MPH) UNTIL TODAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY MISTAKE TO BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT THAT HAD SO MANY RECALLS AND PROBLEMS UNTIL I SAW A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE TALKING ABOUT CHRYSLER'S RECALL INCIDENT. TODAY, I REALIZED THAT THIS INCIDENT I HAD WAS NOT EVEN THE PART OF DODGE RAM'S RECALL. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY I10 IN HOUSTON IF I HAD TO DRIVE ANOTHER MILE ON THE DAY BEFORE I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2003 DODGE2500 STARTED CRACKING WITH NOTHING EVER TOUCHING IT. PIECES OF MY DASH ARE NOW FALLING INTO MY UNDER COMPARTMENT FROM INTERSECTING CRACKS. I'VE NEVER SEEN A DASHBOARD DO THAT IN MY LIFE. MY FEAR NOW IS THAT IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC MAY BE THROWN EVERYWEAR. OR THAT THE RECALL OF THE AIR BAG IN THIS MODEL MAY GO OFF THROWING SHARDS OF PLASTIC EVERYWHERE AS WELL. THIS TRUCK WAS OVER 30,000 DOLLARS , YOU WOULD THINK DODGE COULD GIVE YOU A DASHBOARD THAT DIDN'T DISINTEGRATE FOR THAT MUCH MONEY.

STEERING
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

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM TIPS FAILURE ... I DID THE RECOMMENDED 10,000 MILE FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT AND TURNED THE IGNITION KEY "ON-OFF" THREE TIMES WITHOUT STARTING THE VEHICLE AS OUTLINED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I NOW HAVE AT LEAST 10 WARNINGS ON MY VEHICLE: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BRAKES, TRAILER, WILL NOT START, NO AIR CONDITIONING, HEADLIGHTS STAY ON, ONLY DRIVER SIDE OF BRAKES WORK, DIESEL REGENERATION REQUIRED POWER WILL BE REDUCED.....ETC. LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM TIPS SHORT CIRCUITED. THEY SAY IT WILL COST AT LEAST $1,200.00. AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING WITH THE TIPS, THERE MUST BE A RECALL. IN FACT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN THE TIPS SORT CIRCUIT JUST BECAUSE THE OWNER WASHED THEIR VEHICLE AND WATER GOT INSIDE THE TIPS.

POWER TRAIN
I RECIEVED A RECALL FOR MY TRUCK A WHILE BACK. THE DATE ABOVE MAY NOT BE CORRECT AS I HAVE NOT CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE EXACT DATE. WHEN I TOOK IT IN I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CALLED WHEN IT WAS DONE. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THEY GAVE ME MY TRUCK BACK. THE EMPLOYEE ACTUALLY SAID IT WOULDN'T HAD MATTERED BECAUSE THE REPAIR WASN'T AVAILABLE TO THEM YET ANYWAY. NOW KNOWING MY TRUCK IS ON THE RECALL, THIS IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING CONSIDERING MY FAMILY HAS BEEN RIDING IN THIS THING FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES! NOW WHAT DO I DO? I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT BUT I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CAR. I GUESS I JUST HAVE TO WAIT SOME 60 DAYS UNTILL CHRYSLER CAN FIGURE THINGS OUT...

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE KEY EASILY DISENGAGES FROM THE "RUN" POSITION AND CUTS OFF THE ENGINE, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL. THIS CAN EVEN OCCUR IF THE KEY IS ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED BY YOUR KNEE. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE REPORTED AFFECTS OF THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000. MY 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 IS NOT LISTED IN THAT NOTICE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, AND DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE.
