Summary

I HAVE TIPM PROBLEMS WHERE I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE PLUG CONNECTIONS AND REPLUG. THEN I WAS TOLD BY A 20 YEAR DODGE RAM CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO ACTUALLY BEAT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX THE TIPM WAS IN. I WAS STRANDED FOR 3 DAYS NOT BEING ABLE TO START MY TRUCK. THE BEATING PART WORKED TO GET ME ON THE ROAD AGAIN. HE SAID IT NEEDS REPLACING. I FOUND SEVERAL SMALL COMPANIES THAT HAVE STARTED BUSINESS EXCLUSIVELY TO REPAIR DODGE RAM TIPM UNITS. THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF REPAIR OPTIONS AND COSTS. IF THAT ALONE DOESN'T DISCLOSE A NEED FOR A RECALL I'M NOT SURE IF ANYTHING ELSE COULD. I'M DISABLED AND ALONE AND ISOLATED IN THE DESERT FOR COVID WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED LAST WEEK ON THE LAST TUESDAY IN FEB 2021 AND CALLED THE INDIO CA DODGE SERVICE ON SATURDAY TO SCHEDULE REPAIR TO THE TIPM WHEN THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME OF THE BEATING TECHNIQUE WHICH HAS WORKED SINCE THAT SAT. MY TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED IT SHOWING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CODES YET NONE REALLY AFFECTING THE GENERAL PERFORMANCE. OTHER THEN LIGHTS ON AND NOT PASSING SMOG THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING DECENT WITH BAD GAS MILEAGE. NOW IT'S REMAINED WITH VARIED CHECK LIGHTS AND CODES HAVE SINCE CHANGED SINCE THE BEATING. IT APPEARS THAT DODGE HAS THIS TIPM PROBLEM WITH MANY OF IT'S LINES WITHIN THE ENTIRE NETWORK OF RELATED VEHICALS. IN MY CASE I WAS OUT OF FOOD, ICE, GAS FOR HEAT IN FREEZING TEMPS AND 70+ MPH WINDS WITH NO VEHICAL TO USE. I'M 70 THIS YEAR AND IT WAS NOT A FUN FEW DAYS. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE END OF SUMMER 2020. I'VE PURCHASED SEVERAL PARTS AND PRODUCTS AT AUTO SUPPLIERS AND ALSO SEVERAL USED PARTS AT PULL YOUR OWN PART PLACES. I THINK DODGE KNOWS THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE THAT THEY SHOULD BE RECALLING BUT SINCE THEY AREN'T FORCED TO AND PEOPLE PAY FOR PARTS AND REPAIRS THEIR ACTUALLY PROFITING FROM THEIR OWN FAULTY PARTS AND LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK WHILE PEOPLE SUFFER

Summary

WHEN RAINING THE ENGINE MISFIRES TO THE POINT OF STALLING THE ENGINE AND WHEN HITTING THE GAS THE ENGINE WILL BIG DOWN WHEN IDLEING FOR MORE THAT 10 MINUTES THE ENGINE IDLES ROUGH AND BEGINS TO PUTTER AND STAHLS OUT. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BUT CAME LOOSE CAUSING THE PINION GEAR TO SHIFT WHICH HAD RESULTED IN A LOUD WHIRLING SOUND WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND GETS LOUDER WHEN THE FASTER THE TRUCK GOES AND ALSO CLUNKS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WHEN HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE FRONT PASSENGER BLINKER/RUNNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES. FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING CONSISTENTLY FAILS AFTER 8,000-20,000 MILES CAUSING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE AND CAUSING ME TONS OF MONEY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TELLING ME TO CHECK GAS CAP EVEN THOUGH I'VE REPLACE IT TWICE NOW WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A ENGINEERING DEFECT AND ALSO THROUGH THE CODE FOR MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 7 EVEN THOUGH I'VE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS AFTER THE CODE WAS GENERATED AND IT WENT IF FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS AND CAME BACK ON. I'M CONCLUSION I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS KNOWINGLY SELLING UNSAFE AND, UNRELIABLE VEHICLES WHICH END TO COSTING THE CONSUMER THOUSANDS IN REPAIRS AND TIME SOMETHING WE CAN'T GET BACK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 20,000-40,000 MILES INTO OWNING THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 05/2005 BUT IS TITLED AS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT CREW CAB

Summary

ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS AGO I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON A STATE HIGHWAY TRAVELLING AROUND 55 TO 60 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. OF COURSE MY POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKED BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THIS WAS A SCARY SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE TURNED OUT VERY BADLY. LUCKILY, I WAS IN A SPOT WHERE I COULD PULL OVER. THIS PARTICULAR HIGHWAY DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF SHOULDER AREA. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE TRUCK STARTED BACK UP AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES WHEN I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND ALSO DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT LOWER SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE CONNECTED A CODE READER AND BASED ON THE CODES IT WAS SHOWING HE CHANGED BOTH THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO DIE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON 1/21/2018 ON THE SAME STATE HIGHWAY EXCEPT THAT THIS TIME IT DIDN'T WANT TO START BACK UP. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC AND HE RAN COMPRESSION TESTS THAT SHOWED VERY LITTLE COMPRESSION ON ONE SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND NO COMPRESSION ON THE OTHER SIDE. HE SAID HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT UNTIL HE OPENED THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND THEN WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED. I HAVE NOT HAD THE MONEY TO DO THAT SO IT HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE MECHANIC'S GARAGE FOR THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS. EVERY OTHER MECHANIC I TALKED TO SAID THAT I SHOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND REPLACE THE ENGINE, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO. THEY SAID 2006 WAS ONE OF THE WORST YEARS FOR THE DODGE RAM ENGINE. WHEN IT DIED IT WAS 11 YEARS OLD BUT HAD LESS THAN 110,000 MILES ON IT.

HEAT BLEND DOORS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AND STUCK ON VENT. GOT HEAT BUT NOT AT DEFROSTER OR FLOOR. AS A RESIDENT IN OHIO AND IT BEING WINTER THERE IS NO WAY TO DEFROST WINDOWS IN INCLAMATE WEATHER. WAS USING THE DEFROSTER THEN TRIED TO SWITH IT TO FOOR AS IT WAS NO LONGER NECCESARY TO BE USING THE DEFROSTER ONLY TO HAVE THE SYSTEM GET STUCK ON THE VENT POSITION. I BELIVE THE PROBLEM TO BE THE MODE 1 DOOR IS BROKEN AS IT IS, AS WELL AS THE OTHER4 DOORS IN THE HEATER BOX ALL MADE OF PLASTIC AND ACCUATOR MOTORS THAT HAVE TOO MUCH TORQUE. THESE DOORS SHOULD BE MADE OUT OF STEEL AND BREAKAGE WOULD NOT OCCURE AND DODGE SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICKLES TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNERS. THIS COULD LEAD TO DEATH UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS.

DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE UPDATED THE PART AND THERE ARE MANY CUSTOMER PAID REPAIRS. THE CONTROL BOX FOR THE HEATING AND A/C SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND BREAKS AT THE BLEND DOOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE BLEND DOOR NO LONGER WORKS AND IT DISABLES THE DEFROSTER AND A/C. ON COOL OR COLD DAYS, THE WINDSHIELD CAN SUDDENLY FOG UP AND THERE IS NO WAY TO CLEAR THE VIEW AS AIR DOES NOT BLOW IN THAT DIRECTION. ON HOT DAYS, THE SYSTEM CAN NOT PUSH AIR OUT ENOUGH TO KEEP THE DRIVER FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT. THE PART NUMBER IS 68004226AC. THIS PART HAS BEEN SUPERSESSION CHAIN OF ABOUT 4 OTHER NUMBERS AS DODGE CORRECTED DESIGN FLAWS OVER THE YEARS. I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT BECAUSE THIS INVOLVED A/C AND HEATING, MANY PEOPLE DO NOT NOTIFY NHTSA OF THE CONCERN, BUT IT IS VERY WELL DOCUMENTED AND KNOWN. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT CAUSES DRIVING ISSUES WITHOUT BEING REPORTED.

Summary

WHILE IN MOTION, WHEN YOU APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL WILL TRAVEL TOWARDS THE GAS PEDAL. THIS BRAKE PEDAL BUSHING SEEMS TO BE WORN OUT AND CAUSES THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLIGHTLY SLIDE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT (LIKE A PENDULUM ON A CLOCK). THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS ARE FAIRLY CLOSE TOGETHER AND IF YOUR FOOT IS OFF SET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOUR SHOE WILL CATCH THE GAS PEDAL WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SPEED UP WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TO REPLACE THIS BRAKE PEDAL BUSHING PART SEEMS TO BE NOT IN PRODUCTION ANY MORE AND THEREFORE NO REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP. - WATERFORD, MI, USA

Summary

FIRST PROBLEM WAS ONE IDIOT LIGHT ON THE DASH INDICATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON (AND IT WASN'T). BUT SINCE THE OPERATION OF THE TRUCK WAS NOT AN ISSUE, I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR TWO MORE MONTHS WHILE MORE AND MORE IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS USED, ELECTRONICALLY REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN THERE WASN'T ONE. FINALLY TWO MONTHS LATER, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AT ALL OR EVEN TURN OVER. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULDN'T EVEN CRANK. YET ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON WHICH INDICATED TO ME IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC PROBLEM AND NOT A MECHANICAL ONE LIKE A BAD IGNITION OR BAD BATTERY. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOORS ELECTRONICALLY WITH THE KEY FOB ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY, DISCONNECTING AND RECONNECTING THE BATTERY, LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS MANUALLY, AND EVEN JIGGLING THE STEERING WHEEL, EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD START UP COMPLETELY NORMALLY, BUT WITH ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS ON. THIS WAS ERRATIC AND THERE WAS NO RHYME OR REASON WHY IT WAS HAPPENING OR WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE SITUATION CONTINUED LIKE THIS ABOUT A WEEK UNTIL THE ENGINE WOULD NOT EVEN SHUT DOWN WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. NOT ONLY THAT, SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE CONTINUED RUNNING WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP THE ENGINE FROM RUNNING EXCEPT SITTING IN THE VEHICLE AND WAITING FOR IT TO SPUTTER TO A STOP, WHICH WAS A COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY AND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER A SUBSEQUENT APPOINTMENT AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE WHERE THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE SERVICE BAY FOR A WEEK WHILE THE ISSUE WAS BEING EVALUATED, RESULTING IN THE ISSUE EVENTUALLY BEING DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TIPM, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A GROSSLY OVERPRICED COST OF $1600, SINCE THE PART IS AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR LESS THAN $400.

Summary

I HAD AN ACCIDENT RELATED TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE GRAB HANDLE. I NEVER USUALLY USE IT TO GET INTO THE TRUCK, BUT DECIDED TO USE IT ON JUNE 7TH, 2017. THE TRUCK IS HARDLY EVER DRIVEN AND IN VERY, VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE GRAB HANDLE WAS NOT LOOSE IN ANY WAY PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT AND HAD NEVER BEEN WORKED ON OR REPLACED. WHEN I GRABBED THE HANDLE TO PULL MYSELF INTO THE TRUCK, WHICH WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY, THE WHOLE PANEL RIPPED RIGHT OFF AND SENT ME FALLING HARD TO THE ASPHALT DRIVEWAY. I FELL ABOUT 3 FEET. BY THE WAY, I ONLY WEIGH ABOUT 120 LBS. THE FALL CAUSED ME TO BREAK MY LEFT HIP. I LAID IN THE DRIVEWAY SCREAMING IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN AND FOR HELP UNTIL SOMEONE FOUND ME. AN AMBULANCE TRANSPORTED ME TO A HOSPITAL. I HAD A PARTIAL HIP REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE HIP FRACTURE. UPON INSPECTION, IT LOOKED LIKE THE PANEL/GRAB HANDLE WAS SECURED INTO THE BODY OF THE TRUCK BY PLASTIC DISCS AND CLIPS! I WAS SHOCKED AND ASSUMED SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD'VE BEEN SECURED BY A MORE STURDY MATERIAL. THIS ACCIDENT HAS BEEN PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY DEVASTATING FOR ME.

TAKATA RECALL, THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED ON JULY 1 OF 2016. AS OF TODAY THERE IS STILL NO REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS RECALL ACCORDING TO SAFERCAR.GOV. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS AT LEAST THE SECOND RECALL SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS TRUCK THAT I'VE HAD TO WAIT MORE THAN 3 MONTHS FOR PARTS TO FIX A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT BY LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT THERE'S A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM MOPAR IS "COVERING THEIR BUTT", BUT IF THEY FAIL TO GET PARTS OUT IN A TIMELY MANNER I FEEL THEY SHOULD STILL BE HELD LIABLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS. THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR NOT GETTING REPLACEMENT PARTS OUT FASTER THAN THEY DO.

THIS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND BOUNCING OF THE FRONT END CAN BE REPRODUCED AT ANY IMPERFECTION IN THE HIGHWAY AT 65+ MPH. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BOUNCES AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE OUT OF CONTROL SHAKING IS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND ATTEMPT TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE TRAFFIC FOLLOWING MY TRUCK HAS BEEN FORCED TO TAKE ACTION TO AVOID PLOWING INTO THE BACK END OF MY TRUCK.

THE PROBLEM IS THIS IS WELL KNOWN AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST BE PROTECTING THEM. I SAY THE CEO AND THE RETARD WHO DESIGNED IT GO FOR A RIDE WITH ME IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH THEIR KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. I'M JUST ABOUT OUT OF MY MIND, I AM ALREADY ON MY SECOND REAR END, AND SECOND RADIATOR. I'M BOUT READY TO DRIVE TO CHRYSLER HQ AND PUT THE TRUCK THROUGH THE FRONT WINDOW OF IT. THE TRUCK HAS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN ORDER FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP. WHEN ARE YOU BUREAUCRATS GOING TO GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. YOU HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS.

AT FIRST THE WIPERS WOULD STOP RANDOMLY (WHILE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM) BUT I WOULD FIDDLE WITH THE SWITCH AND THEY WOULD NORMALLY COME BACK ON. IN THE LAST WEEK THEY BASICALLY QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER OTHER THAN A RANDOM STROKE HERE OR THERE. I REPLACED THE WIPER/SIGNAL CONTROL SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN YESTERDAY THINKING IT MUST BE WORN OUT. TO NO AVAIL, THE WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING AND AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I FIND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE REPLACING PARTS, SPENDING MONEY AT SERVICE CENTERS AND NOT GETTING THE PROBLEM SOLVED. I LIVE IN THE RAINY NORTHWEST AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE IN FRONT OF YOU WHILE NAVIGATING I-5 AT 70MPH AT SOME RANDOM POINT DURING A TRIP. THIS PROBLEM STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO BUT WAS ALWAYS A MOMENTARY THING AND WOULD RESOLVE ITSELF, BUT IT IS NOW A PERMANENT PROBLEM AND I WISH I KNEW WHAT PART REPLACEMENT WOULD RESOLVE IT.

ALSO TURN SIGNAL WOULD BLINK OPPOSITE OF WHERE TURNING. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES! I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED MY COSTS. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE: 158,000.

TAKATA RECALL. CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS AGO TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE 63 PERSONS AHEAD OF ME. THE DEALER TOOK MY NAME AND PHONE NUMBER AND SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN IT WAS MY TURN. I STOPPED IN AT THE DEALER THIS DATE TO CHECK ON MY STATUS AND TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF HOW MUCH LONGER IT WOULD TAKE AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THEY DID NOT HAVE ME ON THEIR LIST. THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AGAIN AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THEY WERE ONLY GETTING 6 REPLACEMENT BAGS AT A TIME ABOUT EVERY WEEK OR TEN DAYS OR SO. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT COULD TAKE UP TO TWO MONTHS FOR ME TO GET MY VEHICLE CORRECTED. CONSIDERING THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL, I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME FOR THIS TO BE CORRECTED. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BEEN ON NOW FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND BEFORE I EVEN RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS.

SUSPENSION/BRAKES: FRONT END WHEEL BEARING VIBRATION/RUBBING NOISE. REPLACED SEVERAL SETS OF WORN TIRES AFTER SPENDING $189.00 THROUGH FIRESTONE FOR LIFETIME ALIGNMENTS/TIRE BALANCE/ROTATIONS THE CONSTANT RUBBING VIBRATION NOISE HAVE NOT ALLEVIATED. BRAKE ROTORS WARPED & REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE PITMAN ARM & FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS. CHRYSLER RECALL CAMPAIGNS F05, G02, N62, NHTSA CAMPAIGN 13V528000, 10E040000, 10E013000, 07V038000, 06V038000. FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS STILL NOISY, FRONT END VIBRATION STILL PRESENT & ALIGNMENTS CONSTANTLY NECESSARY. SERVICE BULLETINS 08-004, 41, & 1900805 RELATED TO SUSPENSION STEERING PART OF THIS ISSUE. ELECTRICAL: IGNITION KEY LOCKING UP & UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY TO START THE VEHICLE. HAD TO FORCIBLY TURN OR WIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH IS LOCKED, IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY TO TURN. NUMEROUS OCCASIONS HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE & RETURN IN THE FUTURE TO ATTEMPT TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY. TURN SIGNAL (SERVICE BULLETIN 08-002-12) FLASHES & INTERMITTENT WIPERS OPERATE INCORRECTLY. SUDDEN FLASHING BACK & FORTH OF SIGNALS HAS ALMOST CAUSED CAR CRASHES ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. INTERMITTENT WIPERS STOP SUDDENLY AT MID WINDSHIELD POINT OBSTRUCTING VIEW. BOTH OPERATED FROM THE SAME LEFT HANDLE. CRUISE CONTROL SURGES CONSTANTLY WHEN ENGAGED. NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SURGED SUDDENLY ON A HILL OR BRIDGE ALMOST CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. TACHOMETER SHOWS ANYWHERE FROM 0 TO 250 RPM WHEN STOPPED & HAS CAUSED STALLING OF THE ENGINE. OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT SPEED (55MPM FOR INSTANCE), IT ONLY SHOWS 1000RPM. DURING THE PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE 3 BATTERIES. THIS SEEMS EXCESSIVE FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THEREFORE, CONSIDERING ALL THE ELECTRICAL RELATED ISSUES THERE MUST BE A DEFECT SINCE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. SERVICE BULLETIN 5015 RELATED TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE ALSO PARTS OF THIS ISSUE.

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER IN CLANTON, ALABAMA IN APRIL 2014. I WAS DRIVING TO MY MOM'S, WHO LIVES IN MISSISSIPPI WHEN I CAME UPON A BRIDGE ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE PASSING A 18 WHEELER. WHEN ENTERING THE BRIDGE THERE WAS A SMALL BUMP UP AND WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS OF THE TRUCK HIT THE BUMP THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING (DEATH BOUNCE OR ROLL) UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAD TO CUT OFF THE 18 WHEELER THAT I WAS PASSING AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR IT TO STOP. IT HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE AND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST WRECK EACH TIME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING WHILE IT IS DOING THIS IT JUST BOUNCES YOU ALL OVER THE ROAD. I HAVE TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF ALL DODGE TRUCKS THAT WAS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WISH TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER, PLEASE. WITH ONLY 82K MILES ON THIS TRUCK THE ENTIRE FRT END SHOULD NOT BE BAD!! THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC WAS A DEFECT FROM FACTORY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE ENTIRE FRT SUSPENSION NOT JUST THE TIE ROD, BECAUSE THE TIE ROD IS NOT CORRECTING THE DEATH BOUNCE/ROLL PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCKS. I HAVE A YOUNG SON AND A GRAND BABY WHO HAS TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK WITH MY SELF IN IT. I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

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.

WAS DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROAD AFTER A HEAVY RAIN. CAME UPON A WATER PUDDLE AND WHEN I CROSSED IT THE FRONT WHEELS HIT FAIRLY HARD. AT THAT POINT THE FRONT STEERING LOCKED. I LET THE VEHICLE ROLL TO A STOP AS I FEARED LOOSING CONTROL AND LEAVING THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL REMAINED LOCKED UNTIL I HAD STOPPED. I THEN TURNED OFF THE MOTOR AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AT STOPPED POSITION AND WITH EFFORT I WAS ABLE TO TURN LEFT THEN RIGHT. I FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK. IT IS NOT COVERED IN THE BUY BACK ON DODGE RAM TRUCKS AS I UNDERSTAND IT, SO WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? WHAT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2006 & 2008-2012 VEHICLES? I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS TRUCK FOR OTHER ISSUES, WHICH I DO NOT FIND WITH OTHER BRANDS SUCH AS GMC OR FORD. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT, BUT SEEMS TO HAVE INHERENT PROBLEMS IN ALL THESE TRUCKS. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HIS SON OWN THE SAME MODELS BUT ONE IS AN 2008 AND THE OTHER 2012 WITH MUCH THE SAME ISSUES AS MY TRUCK. HEATING AND COOLING IS BAD. WIND AT THE SIDE WINDOWS IS INTOLERABLE. CANNOT CARRY ON ANY CONVERSATION WITH THE FAMILY WHEN GOING 65 MPH BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE NOISE LEVEL FROM THESE POORLY CONSTRUCTED CAB WINDOW FRAMES. OK THAT'S IT FROM ME.

SO, I STOPPED IN A GAS STATION PARKING LOT THAT WAS OUT BY THE INTERSTATE AND CALLED A FEW PEOPLE AND TRIED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THE RF WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HOT BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. IF I GOT ABOVE 50 MPH THE WOBBLE GOT BAD BUT IF I KEPT IT AROUND 45MPH, IT WAS NOT AS BAD AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NOBODY COULD SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. WE TRIED CHANGING THE BRAKES ON IT FROM THE CALIPER DOWN TO THE BRAKE PADS BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I DON'T HARDLY DRIVE IT NOW DUE TO NOT KNOWING IF IT IS GOING TO DO IT AND WHEN SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK WITH ME.

WHEN IT IS VERY HOT AND THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN UP, THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN AND THE KEY WILL NOT ROTATE FROM LOCKED POSITION. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE MADE NOTES ON THE ISSUE, BUT THEY DON'T SEE A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT I WOULD HAVE CONTROL OF CREATING - IT WOULD BE MY PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SAFETY IN THAT IF I HAD AN EMERGENCY AND THIS HAPPENED I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START MY CAR. OR, HAVE A CAR-FULL OF GROCERIES AND FIND OUT THE CAR WON'T START!!! BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CAR TO COOL OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A SUMMERTIME ISSUE WHICH MAKES ME HAVE TO FIND SHADE OR PARK WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE INTO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A PART (PROBABLY PLASTIC) THAT EXPANDS WHEN IT GETS VERY HOT AND PREVENTS THE KEY CYLINDER FROM ROTATING. THIS CAN'T BE THE ONLY CAR WITH THIS ISSUE AS DODGE WOULD ELUDE TO . . .

WHILE TRAVELING ON US 290 WEST TOWARD AUSTIN, TX, MY REAR AXLE LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUE PRIOR TO THE LOCK. NO SOUND OR VIBRATION OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED AND THE DRIVE SHAFT DROPPED. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK AND SLIDE ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE ONLY REASON THAT I WAS AT SUCH A LOW SPEED WAS THAT I WAS ABOUT TO PULL OVER. HAD THIS OCCURRED 5 MINUTES PRIOR OR AFTER I RESUMED TRAVEL, I WOULD HAVE BEEN AT 75 MPH AS THAT IS THE SPEED LIMIT ON THAT PARTICULAR STRETCH OF ROADWAY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAD IT HAPPENED IN CITY TRAFFIC OR AT A HIGHER SPEED. THE VEHICLE IS NOT REPAIRED.

OWNER [XXX] WAS TRAVELING UP A LONG HILL ON DIRT ROAD WHEN ABOUT HALF WAY UP HILL VEHICLE SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING (NO WARNING) AND "CHECK GAGE LIGHT" (CGL) CAME ON. TRUCK RESTARTED, BUT WOULD NOT PULL HILL. I SLOWLY BACKED TRUCK DOWN HILL WITHOUT ENGINE -- AND STARTED TRUCK ON LEVEL GROUND AND TURNED AROUND. TRUCK RAN FINE THE ABOUT TWO MILES HOME , BUT "CHECK GAGE LIGHT" REMAINED ON. (ALL GAGES AND LIQUID LEVELS CHECKED NORMAL) THE GAS GAGE SHOWED JUST BELOW HALF FULL. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, I ADDED A GALLON OF GASOLINE, BUT CGL REMAINED ON. I CALLED SERVICE MANAGER AT SLOAN FORD IN COLUMBIA , TN. WHO SUGGESTED HAVING TRUCK TOWED TO SLOAN FORD TO BE CHECKED (ABOUT 20 MILES). WHEN WRECKER ARRIVED AT MY HOME FOR TRUCK, THE TRUCK STARTED AND CGL WAS OFF. SLOAN TECHNICIANS KEPT THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK, AND THE PROBLEM NEVER OCCURRED AGAIN AND HAS NOT SINCE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE TRUCK STALLING SUDDENLY AGAIN IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC, ETC.. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR OF ANY SIMILAR CASES , AND THE POSSIBLE CAUSE.

IN 2008, I PURCHASED THE ABOVE DESCRIBED 2006 VEHICLE BRAND NEW THROUGH THE DODGE DEALER WITH 400 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AT 49,085 MILES, 09/18/2012, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE LF WHEEL HUB BEARINGS AT MY PERSONAL EXPENSE. THIS MECHANICAL WORK WAS COMPLETED THROUGH THE DODGE DEALER. THE DODGE DEALER WARRANTY THE WORK FOR 1 YEAR. 1.5 YEARS LATER, I'VE ENCOUNTERED THE EXACT SAME MECHANICAL FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE IS IN THE DODGE DEALER SERVICE SHOP AGAIN, AS OF TODAY'S DATE OF 06/27/2014, NOW FOR THE THIRD (3RD) SET OF WHEEL HUB BEARINGS. DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THIS TYPE OF MECHANICAL FAILURE, I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET DISCOVERING A RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE RAM WHEEL HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY. DODGE DEALER STATES THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF DESCRIBED RECALL AND WILL NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER RECALL PROVISIONS. CONFUSED, I PHONED CHRYSLER AT 1.800.247.9753. A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE STATED, ACCORDING TO MY VIN, MY 2006 VEHICLE BUILD DATE IS OCTOBER OF 2005 AND THE RECALL IS FOR VEHICLES BUILT NOVEMBER 2005 AND UP. CLEARLY THERE IS A MATTER OF BUILD DATE SEMANTICS OF OCTOBER 2005 -VS- NOVEMBER 2005, BUT, THE FACTS CLEARLY SHOW I HAVE INFERIOR, UNSATIFACTORY WHEEL-HUB BEARING PARTS INSTALLED ON MY 2006 VEHICLE. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THE HORRIBLE SCENARIO OF COMPLETE MECHANICAL FAILURE HAPPENING WITHOUT WARNING (POSSIBLE WHEEL SEPARATION) WHILE MY FAMILY IS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH OCCURRING. SIMPLY PUT.....DODGE MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS, PLEASE DO THE MORALLY RIGHT THING AND PLACE SUPERIOR PARTS ON YOUR VEHICLES AND HONOR YOUR WORK, PARTS AND RECALLS & QUIT USING SEMANTICS AND SPLITTING HAIRS IN RECALL LANGUAGE. LIVES ARE DEPENDING ON YOU!!!!!! THIS IS ALL I RESPECTFULLY ASK OF YOU. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DODGE DEATH WOBBLE, A VIOLENT SHAKING, A SUDDEN PULLING TO THE LEFT, THEN A SUDDEN SHARP PULLING TO THE RIGHT, WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL BY STEERING, ALL THE WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS STILL VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND WITH HARD BRAKING MY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WITH TWO WHEELS OFF OF THE ROAD IN THE DITCH. I TOOK THE PICKUP IN TO BE CHECKED RIGHT AWAY WITH NO REAL SIGNS OF WHY AND DECIDED TO REPLACE TWO OF THE TIE ROD ENDS. THE VEHICLE DROVE OK FOR A SHORT TIME AND THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AGAIN, THIS TIME NOT AS BAD, BUT VERY OFTEN, LIKE AT LEAST 100 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. AS I HAVE SPENT MANY HOURS RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT SEAMS THAT 1,000'S AND 1000'S OF DODGE 2500 SERIES PICKUP HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHICH AS LEAD TO TIE RODS BREAKING . I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY DEATHS YET, BUT DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS BECOMES A SAFTY RECALL. *TR

Summary

MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 MEGA CAB BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR CONTROLS, I.E. THE DOOR LOCKS, POWER WINDOWS, SPEAKERS, DOME LIGHTS. DOORS TO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK NOR DOES THE SAFETY AUTO LOCK WORK. WINDOW ROLLED DOWN BUT NOT UP. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE AND DISCOVERED THAT UNDER NORMAL USE OF THE REAR DOOR, THE WIRING HARNESS HAD SEVERAL BROKEN WIRES IN IT. IT WAS FIXED FOR $340. I BELIEVE I NOW HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WIRING HARNESS. IS THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT? HOW DO THE WIRES BREAK INSIDE THE HARNESS WHICH ARE ALSO INSIDE THE DOOR AND/OR BODY OF THE TRUCK. I NOW KNOW OF TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH DODGE RAM 1500'S THAT ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR SAFETY BECAUSE OF FAULTY WIRING!! *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING IN WEST HARTFORD, CT, AT ~3:00 PM, ON THE INTERSTATE RAMP, FROM PARK AVENUE TO I-84 EASTBOUND, WHEN MY DODGE RAM SKIDDED TO A STOP, IN THE TRAVEL LANE. AT THE TIME, MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR, AS I WAS ACCELERATING UP TO SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY HAZARD FLASHERS, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, GRABBED MY PHONE, AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SINCE IT WAS IN THE TRAVEL LANE, AND WAS AT RISK OF BEING HIT. ONCE I GOT CLEAR OF THE VEHICLE, IN THE SHOULDER, I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND THE BACK END OF THE DRIVESHAFT WAS LAYING ON THE PAVEMENT (IT HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE REAR AXLE). I CALLED 911 TO REQUEST POLICE ASSISTANCE. WHEN THE POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED, HE COULDN'T EVEN PUSH THE DODGE RAM OFF TO THE SHOULDER, BECAUSE THE REAR AXLE WOULD NOT TURN. THE OFFICER SET UP FLARES AND WARNING DEVICES, AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, EVEN THE TOW RIG HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE TRUCK ONTO IT'S BED DUE TO THE REAR WHEELS NOT TURNING. THE DODGE RAM WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE. THE MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME THAT THE NUT HOLDING THE PINION TO THE DRIVE SHAFT CAME LOOSE, ALLOWING THE PINION TO SLIP INTO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, AND JAMING THE DIFFERENTIAL, WHICH LOCKED UP THE REAR WHEELS, EVEN THOUGHT MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKES AT THE TIME. THIS INCIDENT IS VERY SERIOUS. IF A TRACTOR TRAILER OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME WHEN THE DODGE RAM'S REAR AXLE LOCKED UP, I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, INJURY, AND POSSIBLY FATALITY. IF MY SON WAS WITH ME, HE WOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN HURT. I HAD JUST LEFT A WEDDING, AND WAS DRIVING TO THE RECEPTION, WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE ONLY REASON MY SON WAS NOT WITH ME, WAS BECAUSE HE ASKED TO RIDE WITH HIS GRANDFATHER WHEN WE LEFT THE CHURCH...UPDATED 06/25/14 *BF UPDATED 06/30/2014 *JS..UPDATED 01/07/15 *BF

Summary

TRUCK SHUTS OF WITHOUT WARNING, DURING LOW IDLE SITUATION, EITHER COMING TO A STOP, OR UPON ENTERING A TURN AT LOW SPEED, OR EVEN AT A STOP LIGHT. IDLE FALLS TO 500RPMS, ENGINE SHUDDERS AND THEN SHUTS OFF. USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FUEL TANK IS FILLED FULL WITH GASOLINE. NO CHECK ENGINE CODES ARE PRESENT, NO MALFUNCTIONS SEEMINGLY PRESENT. CONDITION IS SPORADIC, AND UNPREDICTABLE, AND CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, AS POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO A DEALERSHIP, AND HAVE HAD DIAGNOSTICS RAN ON FUEL SYSTEMS, BUT NO APPARENT REASONS EXIST THAT COULD BE TESTED. SERVICE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF FUEL TANK, DUE TO CHECK VALVE MALFUNCTION, REQUIRING FULL FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT, BUT NO GUARANTEE OF REPAIR OF PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION, AS THE ISSUE IS SPORADIC, AND HAPPENS DURING OPERATION, USUALLY WHENEVER A TURN OR A STOP IS INVOLVED. LOSS OF POWER WITHOUT NOTICE CREATES A CONDITION WHERE THE DRIVER HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON BEFORE REACTING, AND CAN CAUSE OVERRUNS, OR DANGERS TO OTHER VEHICLES AND MOTORISTS. *TR

THIS FIRST STARTED A FEW YEARS AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK WHICH I BOUGHT NEW. OCCASIONALLY WHEN I WOULD TURN ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE RIGHT OR BOTH WOULD COME ON. THIS WOULD ALSO MAKE MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. DEALER REPLACED THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH. SAME THING HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. NOW ITS HAPPENING AGAIN. I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING. NEXT, THE HEATER/AC ONLY WORKS THROUGH THE DEFROST VENTS. IN THE SUMMER WHEN USING AC THE WINDSHIELD STARTS TO FREEZE ON THE INSIDE. CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES. ALSO WHEN USING HEAT OR AC THE TACHOMETER BOUNCES AROUND NOT READING CORRECTLY. ALL THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CONCERN ME. JUST WAITING FOR THE TRUCK TO CATCH FIRE GOING DOWN THE ROAD!! DODGE HAS NOT BEEN MUCH OF A HELP. $300 A PIECE FOR MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH. $800 TO FIX THE HEATER. AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUR THE TACHOMETER. I HAVE SENT VIDEOS OF THE TACHOMETER MESSING UP, COMPLAINED ABOUT THE MILKING FUNCTION SWITCH. BUT NOTHING. ALL THESE PROBLEMS DEFINITELY AFFECT THE SAFETY. PLEASE HELP. LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO IT SHUTTING OFF AND NOW STEERS TO THE LEFT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ALL DODGE RAMS 2006-2011 HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BUT DODGE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD OF RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF LIFE IF IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF SOFT MULCH THAT BRACED MY IMPACT.

WILL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND DIED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE TO THE ROAD AND WAS ALMOST REARENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK AND PUSH IT ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THE TIPM IN 2006 DODGE TRUCKS ARE BAD. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO DATE AND THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY LIABILITY. THIS IS THE FIRST DODGE I HAVE OWNED AND I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AGO. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER DODGE, CHRYSLER OR JEEP VEHICLE AS LONG AS LIVE. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET THROUGH MULTIPLE BLOGS AND FOUND THAT VERY MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE SOME NOT AS FORTUNATE AS ME AND WERE ACTUALLY INVOLVED IN BAD CAR ACCIDENTS DO TO THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE TRUCK IS KEPT CLEAN AND WAXED, AND HAS NOT BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER NOR EXPOSED TO SALT WATER AS IT IS USED TO COMMUTE ON INLAND INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY. I NOTICED THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE PAINT IN THIS AREA. IS THIS A DEFECT IN THE METAL, PAINT, OR WELDS THAT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. . *TR

TOOK VEHICLE TO FAMILY MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID HE DID NOT SEEN ANY EXTERNAL DAMAGE HOWEVER HE COULD TELL THERE WAS SLACK IN THE STEERING AND POSSIBLE SOMETHING WITH THE TIE RODS OR HUB OF DRIVERS SIDE ON VEHICLE. HE KNEW THERE WAS A CURRENT RECALL ON THE DODGE MODELS CONCERNING THE STEERING LINKAGE AND TIE ROD ASSEMBLY AND ALSO THE GEARBOX SHAFT PITMAN. WE RESEARCHED THE RECALLS AND FOUND THAT IT COVERED THE 2500 SERIES IN THE 4X4 SO TOOK TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THE RECALL DID NOT COVER OUR 1500 MEGACAB 4X4 SERIES VEHICLES EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THE 2500 SERIES PARTS UNDER THEM. WE SCHEDULED IMMEDIATE REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO PREVENT HAVING A FRONTAL CRASH OR LOSS OF STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER ADVISED US TO FILE COMPLAINT SINCE WE WERE NOT ABLE TO CLAIM THE COST UNDER RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT NHTSA SHOULD REVIEW AND EXPAND RECALL ON ALL DODGE MODELS WITH THE STEERING PROBLEM AND ISSUE RECALL ON ANY PARTS THAT ARE RELATED TO THE STEERING OR LINKAGE FROM THE 2500 SERIES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 90 WHEN MY TRUCK SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, JUST A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BY THROWING IT INTO NEUTRAL, BUT IT WOULD NOT RESTART IN PARK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON, AND NO MECHANICS CAN SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT SINCE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE BEEN ON DODGEFORUM.COM, AND THERE ARE MANY DODGE MODELS/YEARS SUFFERING THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET IT FIXED (NOR DO I HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP TAKING IT IN AGAIN AND AGAIN).

HI, WELL I BEGIN AS A GUY WHO LOVES TRUCKS WE BOUGHT A DODGE RAM 06' 1500 MEGA CAB HEAVY DUTY,NOW THE MEGA CABS R 1500'S ON A 2500 HD CHASSIS. MY DODGE RAM STARTED DOING THE DEATH WOBBLE ABOUT 1YEAR AGO GIVE OR TAKE. I HAVE REPLACED THE PITMAN ARM AND THE TIE RODS AND NO DIFFERENCE. I AM BEGGING TO THINK THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE BECAUSE I HEAR CASES BY THE DOZEN ON YOUTUBE AND PEOPLE DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. MY FAMILY & I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS LUCKILY GOD WAS WATCHING OVER US. I RECENTLY GOT INTO A PRETTY HORRIBLE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY TRUCK,IT WAS SO INTENSE THAT MY MUFFLER RIPPED RIGHT OFF THE TRUCK. IF CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT IS NOT A RECALL THAT WE HAVE FIX IT OUR SELVES,WELL THAT'S CRAP BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT LOOKS LIKE A DEFECTIVE PART IN MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING LIKE THAT AND I HOPE THIS BECOMES A RECALL BECAUSE ITS NOT JUST ME IT'S A COUPLE HUNDRED,WHO KNOWS NOW HOW MANY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *JS

Summary

THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 2009. WENT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK TO DRIVE OVER 20 MPH. WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A DEALER CLOSE BY AND HAD TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY POSITIONING SENSOR REPLACED. SINCE THAT DATE I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS SAME SENSOR CHANGED 8 MORE TIMES. EACH TIME THE PRIVATE MECHANIC TALKS TO CHRYSLER AND THEY RECOGNIZE THERE IS A FAULTY PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND WILL NOT RECALL THE ITEM. WHEN THIS SENSOR GOES OUT IT WILL NOT LET YOU DRIVE MORE THAN ABOUT 20MPH. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ACCELERATED PEDAL POSITIONING SENSOR 4 TIMES. BLINKER PROBLEMS NOTED BY MANY OTHER CONSUMERS I HAVE ALSO HAD. WHERE YOU TURN ON THE LEFT BLINKER AND THE RIGHT BLINKER COMES ON. AS WELL AS THE A/C PROBLEM MANY CONSUMERS HAVE MENTIONED THE DOOR BREAKS AND THEN ALL YOU HAVE IS OUTSIDE AIR COMING IN. MY MECHANIC HAS TRIED TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM CHRYSLER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT SELL THIS PART (PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THEY CAN MAKE THE VEHICLE AND NOT SELL THE PART TO REPAIR IT WHEN IT BREAKS KNOWING IT BREAKS OFTEN). TIE RODS HAVE ALSO BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK. NO MATTER HOW TIGHT THEY ARE THEY CONTINUE TO COME LOOSE EVEN AFTER BEING REPLACED AND THEN THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE. MY MAIN CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS IT INTERMITTENTLY WILL DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP BUT WILL DIE AGAIN AND THEN IT WONT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS AND THEN WILL DO IT AGAIN. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM YET.

I LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF DODGE OWNER WEBSITES AND MANY OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE OWNER EVEN POSTED DETAILED PHOTOS OF HOW HE REPAIRED THE SHARP PARTS AND REPLACED THE SEAT FOAM AFTER DODGE REFUSED TO REPAIR HIS TRUCK.

THERE IS A (TSB 02-001-07 REV. A) THAT CALLS OUT A SHUDDER, BRAKING, SHIMMER... BLAH BLAH BLAH... ON LEVEL GROUND AND CERTAIN SPEEDS. MY ISSUE IS NOT ON LEVEL GROUND, MY PROBLEM EXIST ON DECLINE OF 7% WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED VERY SLIGHTLY THE FRONT BRAKES OR FRONT SUSPENSION SHUDDERS, AND SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS OUT OF CONTROL, IF YOU GRAB TO TIGHT ON THE STEERING WHEEL YOU MAY OVER CORRECT YOUR STEERING AND EVENTUALLY COULD CAUSE YOU TO OVERTURN YOUR VEHICLE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS, I HAVE HAD MY ROTORS CHANGED, BRAKES CHANGED, TIRES BALANCED, AND ROTATED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I AM TELLING YOU THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANYONE TO BE IN. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE THE OWNER OF THE DODGE CO. AND HIS FAMILY FOR A RIDE. I WILL ALMOST GUARANTEE THAT SOMETHING WOULD GET DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ROTORS SHOULD LAST FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS, BUT THE TRUCK IS VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL AND TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO ALLOW MY WIFE OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED OR I SELL IT. ONCE I SELL IT I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT AGAIN, I AM TIRED OF WASTING MY TIME AND MONEY ON THIS ISSUE.

THE TURN SIGNAL ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACTIVATING THE WRONG SIGNAL. AT TIMES THE SIGNAL WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. AT OTHER TIMES IT SIGNALS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION I AM ATTEMPTING TO TURN. THE SIGNAL SWITCH ALSO CONTROLS MY HIGH BEAMS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS. BOTH OF THESE ARE ALSO AFFECTED AT TIMES BY THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED ANYONE OF THESE ISSUES COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

Summary

MY BLINKER LEVER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN I USE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IT STARTED TO BLINK TO THE RIGHT. THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE DAY IT WOULD DO THIS INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS GOING DOWN A HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA AND USED MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL. A CAR TWO LANES OVER SLIGHTLY BEHIND ME STARTING HONKING THEIR HORN AT ME BECAUSE IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO GO ONE LANE OVER TO THE RIGHT. WE BOTH TRIED TO GO INTO THE MIDDLE LANE AT THE SAME TIME AND I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE OTHER DRIVER'S FAULT. I LOOKED AT MY BLINKER LEVER AND I DID HAVE IT IN THE CORRECT POSITION FOR A LEFT SIGNAL. I THEN LOOKED AT MY LIGHT DISPLAY FOR THE BLINKER AND IT WAS FLASHING TO THE RIGHT. MY WIFE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BEFORE WITHOUT ME IN THE VEHICLE BUT THIS I FINALLY GOT TO EXPERIENCE IT MYSELF. IF IT WASNT FOR MY AWARENESS AND THE OTHER VEHICLE HONKING THEIR HORN, THEN WE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED. EVER SINCE THAT DAY I EXPERIENCED IT MYSELF, I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW. SOMETIMES I USE THE BLINKER LEVER AND I GET NO TURN SIGNAL AT ALL ANYMORE EXCEPT FOR PRESSING THE LEVER HARDER DOWN OR UP. I AM NOW MORE CONCERNED ABOUT CORRECT TURN SIGNALS COMING FROM THE LEVER AND IT TAKES AWAY FROM MY SITUATIONAL AWARENESS WHILE DRIVING.

I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR MODEL FOR THAT VERY REASON, HE STATED THAT HE NEVER HEARD OF IT, I INFORMED HIM OF THE REASON FOR THE RECALL, AND HIS ANSWER WAS THAT MY TRUCK WAS 6 YEARS OLD AND THOSE THINGS WEAR OUT. I SAID ARE YOU CRAZY THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 38000 MILES ON IT, HIS ANSWER WAS IT WAS A GOOD THING I PURCHASED A EXTENED SEVICE CONTRACT. IT COST ME $107.00 DEDUCTABLE.I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY TRUCK.THIS WAS MY FIRST CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND IF THIS IS HOW THEY STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT, WHEN THEY WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AT THE FACTORY IT WILL BE MY LAST.

Summary

THE TURN SIGNAL WILL INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTION, CAUSING THE RIGHT INDICATOR TO BLINK THOUGH THE LEVER IS IN THE DOWN POSITION WHICH WHEN OPERATIONAL SHOULD SIGNAL THE LEFT INDICATOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AS I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES WHERE I'M POSITIONED IN THE LEFT TURN LANE ATTEMPTING TO EXECUTE A LEFT TURN AND SIGNALING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC MY INTENTIONS ONLY TO HAVE THE RIGHT BLINKER ACTIVATE AND CAUSE TRAFFIC TO STOP ABRUPTLY IN THE LANE I JUST EXITED. I AM NOT ONLY EXPOSING MYSELF TO A REAR END COLLISION BUT I AM ALSO EXPOSING THE UNSUSPECTING DRIVER BEING INCORRECTLY SIGNALED TO THE SAME POTENTIAL FATE. THE INABILITY TO CAUTION ONCOMING TRAFFIC OF MY INTENTIONS ALSO CREATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN THAT MY TURN COULD STARTLE THEM CAUSING THEM TO TURN SHARPLY OR STOP ABRUPTLY. BOTH COULD HAVE DETRIMENTAL IMPACT PROVIDED THE CONDITIONS ARE LESS THAN PERFECT IN A STATE THAT COMMONLY HAS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS FLAGSTAFF AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN, THE WIPERS WENT OFF. AFTER I PRESSED THE WASH CONTROL, THE WIPER FUNCTION, WASHED THE WINDOW AND WIPED IT ENOUGH TO ALLOW US TO PULL OVER. THE WIPERS CONTINUED TO WORK SPORADICALLY ALLOWING US TO CREEP TO TOWN FOR THE NIGHT. NOW, THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL AND WE ARE WAITING FOR THE REPAIR SERVICE TO OBTAIN BACK ORDERED PARTS. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND WE WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SURELY THIS FUNCTION IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Summary

WHILE REFUELING TRUCK, GAS NOZZLE AT GAS STATION KEPT TRIGGERING OFF AND CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY OUT. THIS HAPPENED AT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO DODGE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TODAY THAT THE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF BAD CHECK VALVES. TRUCK IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY NOR THERE IS ANY RECALLS ON IT FOR THIS. I HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER DODGE CARS AND TRUCKS. I BELIEVE AND WANT AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL FOR THIS BECAUSE OF THE FUEL SPRAYING OUT AND POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY, FIRE AND MAYBE EVEN DEATH BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTY FUEL TANKS. THE TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY APPROX 43K MILES ON IT. *TR

Summary

THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE IN MY VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE FOLLOWING SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE: 1) THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK, 2) THE TURN SIGNALS DID NOT WORK, AND 3) THE HAZZARD LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I HAVE TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE SITUATION: 1) WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING A RAIN STORM ON 9/26/2011, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK. THIS CAUSED A SAFETY CONCERN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AND 2) WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TURN SIGNALS DID NOT WORK. THIS CAUSED A SAFETY CONCERN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH WAS ON BACK ORDER. TO BE EXACT, FOUR THOUSAND MULTI FUNCTION SWITCHES WERE ON BACK ORDER PER THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER GROUP CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE. NEITHER THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP OR THE CHRYSLER GROUP CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE HAD ANY IDEA WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I ASKED BOTH PARTIES WHY THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER SINCE THIS IS A MATTER OF SAFETY. NO ANSWER WAS GIVEN. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH VIA THE INTERNET, IT WAS DETERMINE THAT OTHER DODGE RAM TRUCK OWNERS HAD THE SAME TYPE ISSUE WITH THEIR MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH BEING DEFECTIVE. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF DODGE WOULD NOTIFY ALL OWNERS OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH AND HAVE THEM REVIEWED AND/OR REPLACED IF NEEDED. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY SAVE SOMEONE FROM SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM THE THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH BEING DEFECTIVE WHILE DRIVING. MY HOPE AND PRAYER IS TO HAVE OTHER DODGE RAM TRUCK OWNERS UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS PROBLEM. IT COULD POTENTIALLY SAVE THEIR LIFE. *TT

THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT I THOUGHT IT HAD CORRECTED ITSELF. THE PAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND WILL NOT STOP. WHEN TURNING THE WIPERS ON MIST, THEY DO NOT WORK. I HAVE TO SWITCH IT TO THE NEXT SETTING TO MAKE THEM MOVE. THE BLINKERS ARE EITHER WORKING INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. WHEN TURNING LEFT, THE RIGHT ONE COMES ONE, BOTH FLASH AND STOP OR IT WILL SWITCH FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN TURNING RIGHT. TURNING ON THE BRIGHTS DOES NOT WORK EITHER. IT MAKES THE WASHER FLUID AND WIPERS WORK. *TR

Summary

THE LEFT TIE ROD END DROPPED OFF MY VEHICLE WHILE BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ISSUED ON SIMILAR TRUCKS. DODGE OFFERS NO HELP ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC. TO REPAIR THE COST WAS $1062. IF DODGE HADN'T REDESIGNED THE PARTS, MY COST WOULD HAVE BEEN $0 DUE TO THE 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE "BUMPER TO BUMPER" WARRANTY WE PURCHASED WITH THE TRUCK. (IT WAS A USED TRUCK WHEN WE PURCHASED IT.) WHY HAVEN'T ALL OF THESE TRUCKS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE? I SUPPOSE THE FACT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO DEATHS OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE WILL BE THE REASON. THIS IS A MAJOR HIT TO ME AND MY FAMILY. WE NEED THE TRUCK. WE NEED THE $1000 IT COST TO REPAIR. DODGE SAYS THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN HELP ME IS IF THE NHTSA EXPANDS THE RECALL. I KNOW THAT WON'T HAPPEN BUT WOULD YOU PLEASE THINK ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY'S DILEMMA THE NEXT TIME YOU ISSUE A NON-LIFE THREATENING RECALL. I THOUGHT RECALLS WERE ALL INCLUSIVE. GUESS I THOUGHT WRONG. THANKS FOR LISTENING.

MY NAME IS [XXX]AND I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK. AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK I NOTICED THAT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I PRESSED THE TURN INDICATOR DOWN TO TURN LEFT, THE RIGHT TURN INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. THIS HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. A FEW WEEKS LATER THIS WAS HAPPENING EVERYTIME I DROVE, ALSO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD ONLY STAY ON LOW SPEED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, AND HE "RE-SET" THE SYSTEM. WELL, THIS WORKED FOR ONLY A COUPLE DAYS. I HAD PAID THE MECHANIC A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO I COULD NOT AFFORD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK. I DROVE AROUND WITH THIS FAULTY TURN INDICATOR PROBLEM FOR AROUND 6 MONTHS. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUCH A NUISANCE FOR ME, AND NOT TO MENTION ILLEGAL! EVERYTIME I TOOK A LEFT TURN I WOULD HAVE TO PLACE MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW AND TURN. THIS WAS SUCH AN EMBARRASSMENT FOR ME. FINALLY I TOOK THE DODGE RAM TRUCK TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT I HAD A FAULTY "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH" AND THAT IT WOULD COST $263.00 TO REPLACE. SO I GLADLY PAID THE MONEY AND GO IT FIXED DUE TO THE UN-SAFE TURN INDICATOR PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS "TURN INDICATOR" PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS TO BE THAT CHRYSLER HAD INSTALLED FAULTY "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCHES" IN THEIR 06 DODGE RAM PICKUP TRUCKS. I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCHES" IN THE 06 DODGE RAM TRUCKS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR LOSES THEIR LIFE.

Summary

THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH THE WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGED UNEXPECTEDLY AND WOOD NOT CLEAR. NO AIR WOULD EXIT THE DEFROSTER VENTS AND THE SYSTEM WAS STUCK IN THE VENT MODE. THE RESULT WAS A NEAR HIGH SPEED COLLISION AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES THIS SEASON AND THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER STATES THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM INDICATING THAT THE SYSTEM WILL REQUIRE A NEW HOUSING AND HEATING DOOR. THE ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR IS BETWEEN $800 AND $1000. I HAVE SPENT $85 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT AND ESTIMATED. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAS NO FLOOR HEAT, AND THE DEFROSTER WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY AND COMPROMISES VISIBILITY IN CERTAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS PROBLEM FIRST PRESENTED ITSELF WITH 65,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND CONTINUES TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVEN AFTER THE PARTS WERE REPLACED LAST WINTER SEASON BY AND INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WITH DODGE PARTS. IT WORKED OK FOR A WHILE, BUT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. THE DEALER STATED THAT MOISTURE CAUSES A DOOR TO STICK AND BREAK. *TR

Summary

MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 HAD THE TURN SIGNALS FAIL. FIRST WHEN I TOLD IT TO TURN RIGHT, IT BLINKED LEFT. THEN IT STOPPED WORKING. IT ROTATES TO WHATEVER IT WANTS RANDOMLY AND USUALLY SHOWS AN INCORRECT DIRECTION. I'M SAFER NOT USING A TURN SIGNAL THAN SHOWING A LEFT AND GOING RIGHT. I CAN'T USE HAND SIGNALS AT NIGHT AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I'M PUTTING MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW ANYWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME NOW. IT WAS INTERMITTENT (PROBLEMATIC FOR ONE TRIP) THEN IT WOULD FIX ITSELF FOR A FEW DAYS. DODGE DEALER SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG OR NEVER HEARD OF IT. *TR

Summary

TURN SIGNALS OPERATE SPORADICALLY. MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN CAN RESULT IN NO FLASHING OF THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL BUT IMPROPER FLASHING OF THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. LIKEWISE WHEN MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A RIGHT TURN THE SIGNAL WILL NOT FLASH OR SOMETIMES WILL INCORRECTLY SIGNAL LEFT. THIS IMPROPER SIGNAL APPEARS AT BOTH THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHT AND AT THE EXTERIOR FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTING POSITIONS. ADDITIONALLY THE WIPER BLADES HAVE BEGUN FAILING TO OPERATE WHEN NEEDED. WHEN SELECTING AN ON POSITION ON THE TURN SIGNAL STALK THE WIPERS WILL SOMETIMES STUTTER ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD OR SOMETIMES NO MOVE AT ALL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. THE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN BUT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. FACTORY REPAIR CLAIMS IT WILL BE THE SAME REPLACEMENT AT OWNER COST. THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY, AND CAN NOT BE REPRODUCED AT WILL. OVER TIME, HOWEVER, THEY ARE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR

Summary

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND WHEN I SIGNALLED FOR A LEFT TURN WITH THE TURN SIGNAL, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOWED A SIGNAL FOR RIGHT TURN. I PULLED INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE, AND THE CAR WHICH WAS BEHIND ME AND CONTINUING STRAIGHT SLOWED DOWN AND REFUSED TO GO BY ME, EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN THE LEFT TURN LANE AND THEY HAD A CLEAR PATH AHEAD. THIS INDICATED TO ME THAT THE TAILLIGHTS WERE ALSO INDICATING A RIGHT TURN. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS, BUT THE NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY WAS DISRUPTED. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, I HAVE WATCHED CLOSELY AND THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH HAS DONE THE SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. WE LIVE NEAR A BUSY HIGHWAY IN THE COUNTRY, AND OFTEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE TRAFFIC BEHIND WILL PASS ON THE LEFT. IF SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY MAKING A LEFT TURN, BUT THE SIGNAL IS SHOWING RIGHT, THIS COULD LEAD TO A FATAL COLLISION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, AND THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME TO GET IT FIXED AND HANG ONTO THE RECEIPTS IN CASE THERE IS A RECALL. I ALSO FOUND THAT 2006 DODGE 3500 PICKUPS DID HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FOR THIS REASON.

Summary

2006 DODGE RAM 1500 BIG HORN EDITION HEMI YESTERDAY I WENT TO PASS A TRUCK AND FLOORED THE PEDAL, I WENT TO LET UP AND NOTICED THE PEDAL WAS STUCK. SO I SLIGHTLY HIT THE BRAKE BUT THAT DIDN'T DO MUCH AT 85 MPH AND ACCELERATING. WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND NO 1 ON THE ROAD SO I LET IT ACCELERATE AND TRIED MESSING WITH THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY FOOT BUT NOTHING WOULD POP IT OUT. SO WITH THE SPEEDOMETER BURIED PAST 120 I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL CAME TO A STOP ON SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRIED MESSING WITH THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY HAND BUT NOTHING WOULD POP IT OUT. SO SITTING WITH RPMS MAXED OUT IN NEUTRAL AND NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE ACCELERATION I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND IMMEDIATELY THE GAS PEDAL POPPED OUT. I STARTED THE TRUCK BACK UP AND DROVE HOME 50 MILES WITH NO INCIDENTS I JUST DIDN'T FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. BUT NEXT DAY WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD RECREATE THE INCIDENT. SO ON A SAFE ROAD TO TRY IT I FLOORED THE PEDAL AND SAME EXACT THING IT GOT STUCK ONLY WAY TO UNSTICK IS TURN TRUCK OFF. I DID THIS 5 TIMES AND EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS. THERE IS NO MATS OR ANYTHING CATCHING ON PEDAL AND NO WAY TO MANUALLY PULL THE PEDAL OUT IT IS REALLY STUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ONLY THING TO GET IT UNSTUCK IS TURN TRUCK OFF AND IT POPS OUT LIKE INSTANTLY. TRUCK IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I AM ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AT ANY TIME. IM POSTING THIS FOR SOME SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I SHOULD DO? POSSIBLE LAWSUIT? REPORT IT TO WHO? OR JUST TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP AND GET CHARGED TO FIX IT AND NO REPORT OF MALFUNCTIONING TRUCK? IF THIS HAD HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME DURING DAYLIGHT OR COMMUTE TRAFFIC NOT LATE NIGHT WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. AND THERE ARE FEW REPORTS OF SAME THING HAPPENING TO SIMILAR DODGE TRUCKS ON THE VARIOUS DODGE FORUMS. *TR

CURRENTLY MY DODGE RAM 1500 IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION TURN SIGNAL. IF YOU TRY TO SIGNAL A TURN THE WRONG BLINKER COMES ON, IF YOU TRY TO TURN YOUR HIGH BEAMS ON OR OFF THE WASHER FLUID COMES ON, IF YOU TRY TO TURN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THEY RARELY WORK OFTEN GETTING STUCK IN THE INTERMITTENT PHASE. I FIRST FOUND THIS PROBLEM WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON IN A FLASH THUNDERSTORM WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IF YOU LOOK THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR DODGE TO IGNORE IT. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS I WILL BE TAKING ANY LEGAL ACTIONS I CAN TO MAKE DODGE LIABLE, I JUST HOPE THAT NOBODY IS HURT OR KILLED BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES , I PULLED DOWN MY TURN SIGNAL YOKE TO ENGAGE THE SIGNAL AND CHANGED LANES - APPROX 500 YARDS LATER I WAS PULLED OVER BY A STATE HIGHWAY PATROLMAN WHO EXPLAINED THAT I NEVER SIGNALED WHEN I CHANGED LANES. AFTER ASSURING HIM THAT I DID WE EXPLORED THE POSSIBILITY THAT MY LIGHTS WERE OUT - AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THE MOTIONS WE CONCLUDED THAT MY LIGHTS WORKED FINE BUT FOR SOME REASON , MY TURN SIGNALS WOULD RANDOMLY DECIDE NOT TO WORK AND WORK AT OTHER TIMES FOR NO REASON. THE OFFICER LET ME GO WITH A WARNING AND A PROMISE TO LOOK INTO THE SITUATION RIGHT AWAY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH , I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FROM THE SAME AUTOMAKER - DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THEIR 2006 RAM'S AND REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. I BELIEVE ( FROM WHAT I HAVE READ) IT IS THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH THAT NEEDS THE REPLACING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF PEOPLE ARE THINKING THAT THEIR TURN SIGNALS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AND IN FACT THEY ARE NOT - IF IT IS CONCERN ENOUGH TO WARRANT A FAILED INSPECTION FROM A DEALERSHIP OR STATE MANDATED LAW , WHY DOES DODGE BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THEM TO REPLACE THEIR MISTAKES ? THIS IS GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED !!!!! *TR

Summary

MUCH LIKE THE RAM 3500, THE TURN SIGNAL ON MY 2006 RAM 1500 BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND CONTINUES TO DO SO INTERMITTENTLY. AT TIMES, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL TURNS ON THE RIGHT BLINKER; OTHER TIMES, THE OPPOSITE HAPPENS - LEFT TURNS ON RIGHT. STILL OTHER TIMES, THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH DOES NOTHING AT ALL. IN RESPONSE TO SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 3500, CHRYSLER HAS VOLUNTARILY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR 1500 MODELS AS WELL AS THIS IS A VERY DISTRACTING AND AN OBVIOUSLY SERIOUS POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE TRUCK WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BEFORE AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CHANGES OR ACCIDENTS TO THE VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. WHEN YOU TURN THE RIGHT SIGNAL ON, IT WILL BLINK A FEW TIMES, THEN THE LEFT WILL BLINK A FEW TIMES, OR IT WILL GO BACK AND FORTH LIKE A POLICE CAR. SOME TIMES BOTH WILL BLINK AT THE SAME TIME. SOME TIMES IT HAS A STROBE LIGHT EFFECT. MY TRUCK HAD 70K MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED AND IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I TURN THE BLINKER ON, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN EVERY DAY. IT HAS MADE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE VEHICLES WILL CUT ME OFF BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT MY TURN SIGNALS ARE TELLING THEM. IT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO CHANGE LANES AND TURN AT INTERSECTIONS. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS EVEN WORSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE DONE ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK. THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND 500 DOLLARS TO FIX. I HIGHLY STRESS THAT THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSES AS IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL A SERIOUS CRASH WILL BE CAUSED BY THE MALFUNCTION. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB TRUCK. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. THE TURN SIGNALS AND THE WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT WORK. ALSO, IF I PUT ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE RIGHT ONE GOES ON MOST OF THE TIME. FROM RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS AND HAZARD LIGHTS. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THIS SWITCH TWICE UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WIPERS STOP WORKING DRIVING IN THE RAIN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS.

WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED, SOMETIMES NOTHING WORKS AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE WRONG SIGNAL COMES ON. SOMETIMES THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T WORK WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED.

I CONTACTED THE DODGE RECALL CENTER, INQUIRING ABOUT POSSIBLY RECALLS ON THIS AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NONE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH LOCATED WITHIN THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR AND IT IS MY OPINION THAT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FAIRLY NEW VEHICLES, DODGE SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE RAM HAS THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP 275/60R20 INSTALLED. MY TRUCK JUST TURNED 40K. MY TIRES ARE ALWAYS ROTATED AND PROPER TIRE INFLATION. I NOTICED RECENTLY THAT MY TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING. FIRST IT WAS MINOR THEN IT FINALLY IS TOO MUCH TO BARE. I HAD TAKEN IT IN TWICE BEFORE THINKING IT WAS A BALANCE WEIGHT ISSUE AND EACH TIME THE TIRE STORED REMOVED OR ADDED A SMALL AMOUNT OF WEIGHT. THERE WAS A BIG DIFFERENCE COMING BACK FROM A 1400 MILE ROAD TRIP RECENTLY. AT FIRST THERE WAS THE USUAL SMALL VIBRATION, BUT AT THE END OF THIS TRIP THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKING BAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 3RD TIME AND COME TO FIND OUT THE REAR TIRE WAS FINALLY SHOWING SIGNS OF SEPARATION. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS TIRE DID NOT SEPARATE DURING MY TRIP. I PLAN ON CONTACTING GOODYEAR, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE OR WILL BLAME IT ON DRIVING STYLE. I HAVE YET TO FIND SOMEONE THAT HAS RECEIVED A WARRANTY OR PRO RATED PRICE FOR NEW TIRES. DODGE NEEDS TO STOP PUTTING THESE ON THE TRUCKS OR SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED, LIKE MY FAMILY ALMOST DID. *TR

BASED ON A THOROUGH TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TIPM UNIT IN MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT 4.7L IS FAULTED / BAD. MY LEFT EXTERIOR SIGNAL WILL NOT FUNCTION AND FLASHES IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ATY A RAPID RATE. PER DODGE, THIS IS INDICATIVE OF A BAD BULB OR SHORT CIRCUIT. I REPLACED ALL BULBS AND THE REAR LAMP CIRCUIT BOARD AS DIRECTED. NEITHER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. AFTER TWO DAYS OF SEARCHING FOR A SHORT, A DODGE TECHNICIAN AND MYSELF FOUND THE TIPM TO HAVE A HIGH SIDE SHORT WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW CURRENT TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE CIRCUIT TO THE LAMPS. AN INTERNET SEARCH FINDS THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON FAULT OF THE DODGE MODULE IN MANY DODGE MODELS, YET DODGE CONTINUES TO EXPECT THE VEHICLE OWNERS TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS. MANY OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF HAVE THIS ISSUE OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD RESULTING IN A INAPPROPRIATE REPAIR BILL FOR A SAFETY ITEM DODGE KNOWS IS FAULTY AND WILL AT SOME POINT, FAIL, RESULTING IN OTHER SAFETY FEATURES OTHER THAN JUST A FLASHER AND BRAKE LIGHT GOING OUT. I CANNOT ACCEPT THAT DODGE IS CONTINUALLY ALLOWED TO USE SUCH FAULTY SAFETY MODULES WITHOUT BEING REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, WITHOUT THE OWNERS SUFFERING THE COSTS.

Summary

MY HUSBAND HAS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. HE IS IN IRAQ AND ONLY HOME EVERY 4 MONTHS. I DO NOT DRIVE HIS TRUCK EXCEPT TO THE MAIL BOX AND BACK ONCE A WEEK TO KEEP THE BATTERY GOING. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE WIPERS DID NOT WANT TO WORK. IT WAS NOT ALL THE TIME. WE THOUGHT MAYBE A GLITCH. THEN IT WAS THE BLINKERS. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL AND OTHERS THE OPPOSITE BLINKER WOULD COME ON. BUT SINCE HE IS ONLY HOME FOR 2 WEEKS AND IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ONCE OR TWICE WE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT. NOW THE WIPERS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL AND WHEN YOU TURN THE LEFT BLINKER ON THE RIGHT ONE COMES ON. I DID NOT REALIZE IT UNTIL I WAS NEARLY HIT BY SOME ONE TRYING TO PASS ME ON MY LEFT WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I GOT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THIS AND SAW THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT. THE ONLY TSB I CAN FIND IS FOR THE DODGE RAM 3500. ALSO WHEN DRIVING OVER 50MPH THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES. THE HARDER YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKES THE HARDER THE TRUCK SHAKES. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED. THIS IS COSTING TOO MUCH MONEY FOR MAYBES AND IT IS SCARY WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGH WAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THIS STARTS HAPPENING. *TR

A RECALL IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER HERE FOR THE CABIN AIR BLEND DOOR BREAKING, 2006 THROUGH 2002 MODELS HAVE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED AND IN 2006 HAD THE MOST FILED YET IN 2007 ZERO COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THIS PROBLEM , LET ME EXPLAIN WHY. I CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER FILED A COMPLAINT AND GOT NOWHERE, THEY JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR BAD DESIGN, OR STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!! I WILL NEVER BUY A PRODUCT FROM THEM AGAIN. THE AIR BOX HAS AN OPENING WITH ONE TAB PROTRUDING OUT SO WHEN THE BLEND DOOR CLOSES IT STOPS AT THE TAB, WELL THE TAB ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO RECEIVE THE IMPACT OF THE DOOR SLAMMING IT AND BREAKS OFF THUS JAMMING CLOSED OR FALLING OFF, THE ENGINEERS AT DELMAR CHRYSLER FIGURED THIS OUT AND ENGENDERED A NEW BOX WITH TWO TABS SO IT WONT BREAK YET THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALERS KEEP REPLACING THE DOORS AND NOT THE ENTIRE BOX (BECAUSE IT'S A BIGGER MORE EXPENSIVE JOB) AND THAT'S WHY SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT FIXED SEVERAL TIMES, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FIXING IT CORRECTLY SO IN TURN YOU THEN ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOW IT COST THE CONSUMER TO FIX THIS EXPENSIVE POORLY ENGINEERED BOX THAT THEY KNOW IS A DESIGN FLAW.SAD, VERY SAD. DAIMLER CHRYSLER PUT THIS NEWLY DESIGNED BOX IN THEIR 2007 AND NEWER MODELS AND HAVE NOT ONE COMPLAINT, SO WHY WONT THEY RECALL THESE BAD DESIGN BOXES AND BROKEN BLEND DOORS (WHICH ARE THE NUMBER ONE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 TRUCKS) AND PUT THEIR NEWLY ENGINEERED BOXES-BLEND DOORS IN THE TRUCKS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT THE CONSUMER, DELMER CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A BAD DESIGN AND STILL WONT OWN UP TO IT, WE THE CONSUMER NEED TO FLOOD THEIR PHONES UNTIL THEY FIX THIS POORLY ENGINEERED VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM THAT THEY CREATED UNTIL THEY RECALL IT. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT CONTROL WHERE THE AIR FLOW IS GOING LIKE THE WINDSHIELD FOR VISIBILITY IN FOGGY OR SNOWY CONDITIONS,FORCED TO PUL OVER CANT SEE, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR TAKING THE TIME AND EFFORT PUTTING PRESSURE ON THEM TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE.

BRAKE PERFORMANCE FAILURE BEGINNING AT 9,000 ODOMETER MILES: AT APPROXIMATELY 9,000 MILES THE BRAKES ON MY RAM 1500 2 WHEEL DRIVE BEGAN TO VIBRATE WHEN APPLIED. .NORMAL BRAKE USE WITH 65 TO 80% AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UP TO 75 MPH, WITH NO EXCESSIVE OR EXTREME LOAD CONDITIONS, FROM PURCHASE UP TO THE INITIAL FAILURE. BEING 2300 MILES FROM HOME I WAITED TO VISIT THE DEALER UPON RETURN. NOW AT 12,000 ODOMETER MILES THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING SEVERE CHATTER WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AND EXHIBITED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS 'PARALLELISM OR ROTOR WARPING. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT BRAKES WERE OUT OF WARRANTY BUT DID PROVIDE A VISUAL CHECK AND CONCLUDED THE REAR ROTORS WERE WARPED AND SHOULD BE TURNED. I HAD THE BRAKES SERVICED AND THE ROTORS TURNED WITHIN DAYS. AGAIN, PRIOR TO 10,000 ADDITIONAL MILES, APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES PRODUCED VIBRATION. AS TIME AND MILES PROGRESSED THE VIBRATION BECAME EXTREME JUST AS BEFORE SO AT SOME POINT THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AGAIN WITH LITTLE IF ANY IMPROVEMENT. I CONTINUED TO USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE SITUATION WAS SO SEVERE THE TRUCK WOULD APPEAR TO JUMP RAPIDLY UNDER BRAKING AND THE MORE PRESSURE APPLIED THE MORE VIOLENT THE REACTION. THE SEVERITY WAS WORSE AT INCREASED SPEEDS. FINALLY IN FEAR FOR PASSENGER SAFETY I PURCHASED PERFORMANCE EBC DRILLED AND SLOTTED BRAKE ROTORS AND PERFORMANCE PADS AND HAD THOSE INSTALLED. THE RESULT AFTER A SHORT TIME WAS A WORSE, AND EVEN MORE SEVERE, PROBLEM BEGINNING WELL SHORT OF 10,000 MILES. THE SITUATION IS NOW SO BAD I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN THROWN INTO ADJOINING TRAFFIC LANES. I AM CONVINCED A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM EXIST. *TR

HANDS DOWN THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED WHEN IT COMES TO BRAKES. AFTER THE INITIAL BRAKE WARRANTY OF 12,000 MILES RAN OUT, THE ROTORS WARPED. NOW AT 97K+ MILES I AM ABOUT TO INSTALL A FOURTH SET OF ROTORS (ALL FOUR) AT MY OWN EXPENSE. AT APPROXIMATELY $250 IN PARTS PER REPAIR, PLUS MY OWN LOST LABOR TIME, AND THE SHEER DISAPPOINTMENT OF KNOWING THAT MY BRAKES COULD FAIL AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT PURCHASING ANOTHER DODGE TRUCK. I DO THINK THAT IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE TO RESOLVE THE BRAKE INADEQUACIES THEN MAYBE LEGAL ACTION MAY HAVE TO TAKE PLACE. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BRAKE ROTORS INSTALLED ON THE "BIG HORN" AND "LONE STAR" EDITIONS WITH THE 20" WHEELS. I REALIZE IT MAY BE A VENDOR ISSUE AND NOT NECESSARILY DODGE'S FAULT, BUT IF DODGE KNOWS ABOUT IT, WHY WON'T THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT; THUS PLACING THE BLAME ON DODGE FOR CONTINUING TO UTILIZE THE SUPPLIER OF THE BRAKE ROTORS IN QUESTION. *TR

Summary

THERE HAS BE A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT PROBABLY 100 TIMES BUT PAID NOT MUCH ATTENTION UNTIL THIS WINTER. THE TURN SIGNAL LEVEL IS ALSO USED TO TURN ON THE WIPERS ON THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM ARISES WHEN THE VEHICLE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, THE WIPERS ARE ON, AND THE TURN SIGNAL ARE TURNED ON. FOR NO REASON THE TURN SIGNAL FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS THE ONE THAT OPERATES. NORMALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING TO THE RIGHT THE TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT TURN ON AND THE LEFT SIDE SIGNAL TURN ON. IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM I HAVE TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF COMPLETELY. THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS IMPAIRS VISIBILITY AN ALSO IS GIVING OTHER DRIVERS THE WRONG SIGNALS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE BUT SINCE I RESIDE IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT WHEN IT RAINS YOU MUST TURN YOUR LIGHTS AND WIPERS THIS HAS CAUSED ME A PROBLEMS SINCE I DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN IT SNOWS OR RAIN I CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS. SOME DRIVERS HAD GOT AGGRAVATED SINCE SOME TIMES I GIVE THEM THE WRONG TURN SIGNALS. THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED MANY TIMES IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOTED THAT IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT SINCE WE HAVE GOT MORE SNOW AND RAIN IN THE NORTH EAST I WHISH I CAN PROVIDE SPECIFIC DATED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT I GOT TIRED OF IT AND I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TOMORROW.

PRODUCT QUALITY DEFECT- POOR PRODUCT QUALITY OF GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES RECENTLY CREATED UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER MOTORISTS. DUE TO THE RADIAL BAND SEPARATION ISSUE IN A GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP TIRE (SIZE P275/60/20) THE TIRE CREATED EXCESSIVE BOUNCING AND WOBBLING OF THE TIRE AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH CREATING INABILITY TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY (WITH A BRIDGESTONE TIRE) AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. WHEN I CONTACTED GOODYEAR QUALITY DEPT. THEY ASKED I HAVE THE TIRE INSPECTED BY A GOODYEAR DEALER, WHICH I DID, AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE RADIALS WHERE /COMPROMISED/BROKEN IN NUMEROUS PLACES. GOODYEAR DID OTHER A $45 REBATE ON MY NEXT GOODYEAR TIRE PURCHASE WHICH I DECLINED AS I WILL NOT PLACE MY FAMILIES SAFETY AND WELL BEING IN THEIR TRUST ANY LONGER NOR WILL I BE PURCHASING GOODYEAR TIRES. THE TIRE HAD APPROX 15000 MILES ON IT WITH ~50-60% TREAD LEFT. (CONFIRMED BY THE GOODYEAR DEALER.) NO EXPLANATIONS OR APOLOGIZES WERE OFFERED BY GY WHICH DISPLAYS THEIR DISTURBING LACK OF BUSINESS SAVVY. I HAVE 3 VEHICLES IN MY HOUSEHOLD AND WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT SUCH BUSINESS PRACTICES BY PURCHASING UNSAFE PRODUCTS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS TIRE ON INTERNET BLOGS BUT THOUGHT IT BEST TO OFFICIALLY POST TO NHTSA. I ALSO OBSERVED INFORMATION REGARDING PRODUCT SAFETY CLAIMS BY THE STEELWORKERS UNION (LINK ON YOUR WEBSITE) REGARDING THE SAFETY/QUALITY OF GOODYEAR TIRES AROUND THE SAME TIME BY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED. (NOT SURE IF MY TIRE WAS PRODUCED IN THE SAME FACTORY) I WOULD LIKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT ISSUED TO GOODYEAR IF FEASIBLE AND/OR AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN LEFT TURN IS SELECTED, SOMETIMES RIGHT SIGNAL FLASHER COMES ON, SOMETIMES NO TURN SIGNAL COMES ON, SOMETIMES IT WORKS CORRECTLY. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. WHEN RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS SELECTED, RIGHT SIGNAL FLASHER WORKS NORMALLY. THE PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAD SOMEONE PASS ME ON THE LEFT WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN BECAUSE MY RIGHT SIGNAL WAS ON DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE 1500 MEGACAB TRUCK AT 70 MPH, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND OUT OF CONTROL. I HELD IT AS STRAIGHT AS I COULD AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE SHAKING FINALLY STOPPED AT ABOUT 20 MPH. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE FAST LANE OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR. I LATER READ SOME FORUMS ON THE INTERNET THAT LABELED THIS PROBLEM THE "DEATH WOBBLE." IT APPEARS, FROM THE MANY EXPERIENCES DESCRIBED ON THE FORUMS, THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE. *TR

ROLL OVER VALVE IS CRACKED IN 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK GAS TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES (8/09) BUT THE CRACKED ROLL OVER VALVE WAS NOT IDENTIFIED UNTIL 4 VISITS LATER, ABOUT 79,000MILES (10/09). COMPUTER CODES DO NOT READILY IDENTIFY THE CRACKED ROLL OVER VALVE. THE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ROLL OVER VALVE IS BUILT IN. DODGE WILL NOT COVER A NEW GAS TANK UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS NOT A USUAL PROCEDURE TO REPLACE GAS TANKS AND I WANTED TO REPORT THIS DEFECT IN THE ROLL OVER VALVE. A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET FOUND RECALLS ON 2006 MODEL 2500 AND 3500 SERIES GAS TANKS FOR PICKUP TRUCKS BUT NONE FOR THE 1500 SERIES TRUCKS. HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR CRACKED ROLL OVER VALVES BEEN FILE? I AM IN THE PROCESS OF SCHEDULING GAS TANK REPLACEMENT WITH IN THE NEXT WEEK.

AFTER THIS I GOT BACK IN TO MOVE MY TRUCK TO A SAFE LOCATION, I TRIED AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WILL GO AFTER THAT AND IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR. SO I CREEPED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PUT THE TRUCK ON THE COMPUTER AND 10 DIFFERENT CODES CAME UP.. THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING THAT DAY AND SAID MONDAY BRING IT BACK. SOON AS I GOT THERE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THERE WERE NO CODES CAME UP.

MY TRUCK WAS INCLUDED IN RECALL: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 07V038000 WHICH STATES: REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT HUB AND BEARING UNITS... HOWEVER, WHEN THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE RECALL (DAIMLER CHRYSLER RECALL NO. G02) THEY LISTED NO REPLACEMENT PARTS RELATED TO WHEEL BEARINGS, IT APPEARS THEY MERELY ADDED MORE LUBE TO THE BEARING HOUSINGS. SEARCHING DODGE'S RECALL DATABASE FOR MY VIN NOW SHOWS THAT RECALL COMPLETED. DID NHTSA LEAVE IT TO THE DEALERS DISCRETION TO DECIDE IF THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE FRONT HUB AND BEARING UNITS VS. JUST PUT A BIT MORE GREASE IN THEM? OR DID NHTSA DIRECT THEM TO REPLACE THE HUBS? *JB

Summary

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON FEB 11 AT 7:00 AM. I WENT OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT TAKING OUT A MAILBOX, A COUPLE OF TREES, SIDE SWIPED A TELEPHONE POLE BEFORE COMING TO REST UP AGAINST A TREE. WHEN THE TRUCK FINALLY CAME TO A REST AGAINST A TREE, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BECAUSE OF THE FINAL IMPACT OF THE TREE I WAS HIT THE STEERING WHEEL HARD ENOUGH TO BEND IT. THE MOUNTING OF THE AIRBAG SENSORS ARE MOUNTED ON A FRAME RAIL WHICH HAS RUBBER MOUNT FROM THE BRACE TO THE FRAME WHICH WOULD ABSORB THE MOST OF THE IMPACT. FROM A CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE IMPACT ZONE I NOTICED THE FRAME MOUNT WAS BENT WHERE THE MOUNT WAS BOLTED. I WAS TOLD BY AN INSPECTOR, THAT CAME OUT TO LOOK AT MY TRUCK FOR THE AIRBAGS, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE AUTO MAKERS WHICH MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO INSURANCE COMPANIES PAYING LESS ON CLAIMS AT OUR SAFETY. THE SENSORS WERE DESIGNED TO HELP AND DID AT ONE TIME BUT IF YOU KEEP LISTENING TO OUTSIDE SOURCES INSTEAD OF THE CONSUMER YOUR CREDITABILITY WILL BE RUINED. I AM ACTUALLY SCARED FOR MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN THIS TRUCK, KNOWING THAT THE SRS IS NOT AS SAFE AS I WAS LED TO BELIEVE. THE SENSORS NEED TO BE IN A MORE SOLID POSITION. RUBBER MOUNTS ABSORB MORE OF THE IMPACT THAN IT SHOULD HAVE NEEDED TO.

THE VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION MAINLY BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 55 TO 60 MPH. HOWEVER I HAVE NOTICED THE VIBRATIONS AT OTHER SPEEDS AS WELL. THE VIBRATION IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO SHAKE THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THE FIRST VISIT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD ONE WHEEL WAS FOUND OUT OF BALANCE AND THE PROBLEM WAS REMEDIED. ON THE WAY HOME THE VIBRATION WAS STILL PRESENT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK. THE SERVICE MANAGER RODE WITH ME AND INDEED ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. DURING THIS SECOND VISIT IT WAS DETERMINED ALL 4 TIRES WERE NOT WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS AND REPLACED. (MIND YOU THE TIRES ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 1600 MILES.) AFTER DRIVING WITH THE NEW TIRES FOR A FEW DAYS THE VIBRATION STILL PERSISTS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A THIRD VISIT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, HOWEVER THE SERVICE MANAGER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS SENT ON MY WAY WITH NO ATTEMPTED REMEDY. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE FOUND NEARLY 40 OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME VIBRATION ON THEIR 2006 DODGE RAMS.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. IT WAS BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2005. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING SO I TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM. IT IS A SILICONE SEAL ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS IT WAS LEAKING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEAL. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS LEAKING WAY WORSE THAN BEFORE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD REPLACE IT AGAIN BUT MOST LIKELY IT WOULD STILL LEAK BECAUSE IT WAS A SILICONE SEAL AND THEY COULDN'T PUT ANY OTHER SEAL ON IT BECAUSE IT WAS AGAINST DODGES REGULATIONS. THAT IS WHAT THE PUT ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FACTORY SO THE CAN'T PUT ANYTHING ELSE ON IT. SO THE TRANSMISSION WILL CONTINUE TO LEAK. I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS ESPECIALLY THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE AND ALSO MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. ALSO IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. SO NOW IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T FIXED MY TRANSMISSION WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *JB
