VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THREE TIMES NOW IN THE LAST MONTH THE DS ARM AND BLADE HAS FALLEN OFF OF MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING - ONCE WHEN I WAS PARKED, ONCE TRAVEL AT 25 MPH, AND THE THIRD TIME TRAVELING 60 MPH. AT NO TIME WAS THERE SNOW OR ICE ON MY VEHICLE. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY CONCERN. IF I AM DRIVING AT 60-70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN THE RAIN AND THE ARM AND BLADE FALLS OFF, I WILL BE WITHOUT A WIPER ARM AND BLADE. THERE WILL BE NO WAY OF STOPPING TO LOOK FOR THIS PART. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY AND ISN'T A PROBLEM. THEY SAID THIS PROBABLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COLD WEATHER. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THESE PRODUCTS GO THROUGH EXTENSIVE TESTING PRIOR TO VEHICLE LAUNCH. WE WOULD LIKE THE DS ARM AND BLADE TOTALLY REPLACED. THERE IS PROBABLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH WHERE THE ARM HEAD CASTING CONNECTS TO PIVOT ASSEMBLY OF THE WIPER MODULE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
SENT TO CALIFORNIA NEW MOTOR VEHICLE BOARD I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 183 DAYS AS OF THIS LETTER. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND HAD R.O.'S OPEN FOR A TOTAL OF 64 DAYS. THIS EQUATES TO ROUGHLY 35% OF MY OWERSHIP TIME. DODGE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS IN A REASONABLE TIME. ALTHOUGH THEIR ARE "X" NUMBER OF RO'S REGARDING THE REPAIRS. IT IS IMPERITIVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE THE RO WAS OPEN AS THE FAILURE OCCURED AGAIN AND AGAIN. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SERVICE AISLE DRIPPING FROM BEING FRESHLY WASHED AND READY FOR PICKUP, AS I STARTED THE TRUCK THE CEL CAME ON (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT). I HAVE A NEW TRUCK THAT HAS YET TO PERFORM THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED. I HAVE BEEN PATIENT, THE PEOPLE AT HEMET CHRYSLER HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL. HOWEVER, I AM DONE. THE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK IS THE TURBO/ENGINE BRAKE SYSTEM. IT HAS ONLY PERFORMED PROPERLY FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 800-900 MILES OF OWNERSHIP. THE REAL ISSUE IS WHEN THE ENGINE BRAKE WOULD COME ON WHENEVER IT WANTED TO! DOESN'T SOUND TOO BAD, BUT WHEN YOUR SITTING AT A 2 WAY STOP WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, AND THEN YOU PROCEED ACROSS THE STREET THINKING YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME ONLY TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE BRAKE HAS ENGAGED AND YOU ARE NOW WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD ABANDON THE VEHICLE AND RUN BECAUSE YOU COULD MAKE FASTER ON YOUR FEET! AFTER 10-15 EPISODES IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF, WAIT 30 SECONDS AND RESTART THE TRUCK WHENEVER THIS HAPPENED. NOT REAL PRACTICAL BUT OK! NEXT ISSUE SAME SITUATION; EXCEPT I AM ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING 65-70 WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE ENGINE BRAKE COMES ON AND NOW I AM CONCERNED I WILL BE REAR ENDED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF SAFETY AND FUNCTIONALITY. I WENT TO GET THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND AS I STARTED IT THE CEL CAME ON AGAIN. AFTER I LEFT I TRIED THE ENGINE BRAKE AND GUESS WHAT....IT NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL!!! THIS LETTER WAS EDITED DOWN TO 2000 CHARACTERS. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION
IN JULY 2007 WE PURCHASED A NEW 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 PICK UP TRUCK FROM CROWN DODGE IN FAYETTEVILLE NC. ON 01/08/08 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE CONTROL ARM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BROKE. THIS CAUSED THE TIRE TO DISLOCATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE TIRE, BALL JOINT, BRAKE SYSTEM AND HOSES STAYED ATTACHED TO THE RIM OF THE TIRE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DROP AND SURGE TO THE RIGHT. THEN COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE.THE CONTROL ARM, BALL JOINTS AND ALUMNIUM CASTINGS FAILED. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHO REFERED US TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 5,800 MILES AND IS STILL COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. WE THEN E-MAILED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A REPLY. THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT FAILURE IS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUES WITH FORD SUV'S WHICH LED TO SEVERAL DEATHS. IF MY WIFE WERE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE OR MAJOR HIGHWAY SHE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
03 DODGE RAM, 2500 QUAD CAB, 5.7 HEMI ENGINE, AUTO TRANSMISSION. TRUCK HAD DONE THIS SINCE NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2002, 6 TO 10 TIMES. ENGINE WOULD START TO SHAKE, SHAKING THE ENTIRE TRUCK MOSTLY AT START UP AND/OR AT IDLE. WOULD SHUT KEY OFF AND RESTART WOULD BE FINE. DRIVING BACK FROM INDIANAPOLIS 4/11/07 TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. DROVE FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE, PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND TRUCK DIED, WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED TO A ROCHESTER INDIANA DODGE DEALER. THIS WAS WHAT THE ROCHESTER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME OVER 3 WEEKS. SPARK PACKS WERE CORRODED AND SPLIT REPLACED. COMPRESSION LOW IN CYLINDER 5 AND NO COMPRESSION IN CYLINDER 8. FOUND BROKEN VALVE SPRINGS IN CYLINDERS 5 AND 8. NOTE: MANY TRUCK FORUM WEB SITES NOTED THAT DODGE WAS AWARE OF THIS IN MANY EARLY 03 MODELS. IN HIND SITE IT, EXPLAINS A LOT. LOT OF CARBON IN THE THROTTLE BODY. CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED, REPLACED PCM, REPLACED HEADS, REPLACED INTAKE MANIFOLD. PICKED TRUCK UP ON 5/2/07. THE DEALER SAID TRUCK RUNNING A LITTLE ROUGH BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIVE ADDED TO THE GAS TO CLEAN CARBON. SAID TO BE SURE TO FILL THE TANK, THIS WAS DONE. DRIVING BACK HOME TO MICHIGAN TRUCK RAN VERY ROUGH. NO ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. TAKEN TRUCK TO DEALER WHERE PURCHASED. SERVICE MANAGER SAID SOUNDED AS IF IT HAD A MISS, ASKED IF ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, I ANSWERED NO. HE TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND SAID THAT ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE HE GOT IT OUT OF THE BUILDING. MY DODGE DEALER TOLD ME CYLINDER #7 IS DEAD. WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE HEAD TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. MY DEALER SAID THAT THE ROCHESTER DEALERSHIP HAD FORGOTTEN TO THE ROCKER ARMS OVER THE PUSH RODS. GOT THE TRUCK BACK AND IT SEEMED TO BE OK. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND FEELING UNEASY ABOUT IT, I TRADED. THE SAVING GRACE TO ALL OF THIS WAS JUST THE FACT I HAD BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT WAS COVERED. *TR
