ENGINE
VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNDER MULTIPLE RECALL REPAIRS RECENTLY AND WAS WORKING PROPERLY WHEN IT WAS LAST IN OUR POSSESSION. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR ANOTHER RECALL. WHEN THEY WERE DOING THEIR ROAD TEST, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THEY ARE NOW TELLING US THERE IS A NEED FOR A NEW MOTOR ($13,000 - $14,000). WHEN I WAS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT RECALL W58 HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN APPLIED TO SIMILAR RAM 1500S AND WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THE EXACT ISSUE THAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM REQUESTING REVIEW TO HAVE THE SAME RECALL ADDED TO VEHICLES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO MINE.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE OIL DUE TO ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET BREAKING AWAY FROM FRAME CAUSING ENGINE TO DROP PUNCTURING THE OIL FILTER. 7 QUARTS OF OIL PUMPED OUT ALL OVER THE HOT EXHAUST AND ONTO THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ASSEMBLY. WHEN I SAW THE SMOKE I SLOWED DOWN AND TRIED TO GET TO A SAFE STOPPING POINT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. BY THE TIME I GOT THERE THE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON. WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP OIL WAS EVERYWHERE UNDER AND ON THE VEHICLE.I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND GOT OUT THINKING IT MAY BE ON FIRE. THANKFULLY IT WAS NOT. I ALSO HOPE THERE IS NO ENGINE DAMAGE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THERE SHOP. I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS AN INCOMPLETE WELD ON THE FRAME BRACKET CAUSING THIS FAILURE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO ME! I,AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE REPAIRS THE DEALER IS PROPOSING. THIS TRUCK IS 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 18,000 MILES.*DT *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT SPEEDS OF 15-65 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND IT SEEMS AS IF THE TRUCK DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. I WAS TOLD THIS IS DUE TO THE ROTORS WARPING. IF THIS HAPPENS TO A DODGE / RAM PICKUPS THEY SHOULD PROBABLY UPGRADE THE DISCS AND PADS FOR BETTER STOPPING AND STABILIZING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENT THROTTLE INPUT RESPONSE LAG. WHEN APPLYING THROTTLE FROM A STANDSTILL THERE IS A 1 TO 1.5 SECOND LAG BEFORE THE ENGINE REVS. THE SAME LAG OCCURS WHEN BUT CAN LAST UP TO 3 SECONDS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE ACCELERATION FROM ANY GIVEN ROLLING SPEED. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS IT MAKES THE SIMPLE AND FREQUENT CHALLENGE OF CROSSING AN INTERSECTION AND/OR OVERCOMING SLOWER TRAFFIC IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT TO ACCOMPLISH SAFELY AND WITHOUT DRAMA/STRESS. DELAYS IN RESPONSE CAUSE THE DRIVERS TO SECOND GUESS THEIR DECISIONS AND ACTIONS. THE RESULT WILL EITHER BE TO LIFT OFF OF THE THROTTLE (AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE MAY DECIDE TO ACCELERATE PARTIALLY) OR TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF OF THE ROAD/TRAFFIC AND CHECK THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE MAY THEN DECIDE TO ACCELERATE). IF THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, PEDESTRIANS OR OTHER OBSTACLES, THIS CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT, INJURY AND/OR DEATH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT IS FAULTY. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND RECONNECTED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE HEADLIGHT CONTINUE TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. IF IT'S UNPLUGGED AND RECONNECTED IT WILL WORK FOR A WHILE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONGST RAM OWNERS BASED ON MY INTERNET RESEARCH. I CAN'T BELIEVE RAM HAS NOT ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS AS THEY SHOULD KNOW, BASED ON THEIR REPAIRS, THAT THIS WIRING HARNESS IS FAULTY.
