No ability to drive vehicle during evening hours or when there is no natural day lighting. Unable to see the speedometer, gas level indicator and temperature gauges. Exterior lights work, but inside the vehicle it is completely dark. There were no warning lamps or messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to discovery during evening hours due to dashboard not displaying or illuminating the warning lamps during day hours. So if something were to go wrong while driving during the day there is no way of knowing the issue and/or troubleshooting prior to failure.

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP IN NOVEMBER 2008. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF, HOWEVER THE REAR FENDERS ARE RUSTING OUT. THE RUST IS SPREADING AND GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. THE EXCESSIVE RUSTING HAS SPREAD TO BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK ON THE LOWER DOOR PANELS. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE BODY SHOP MANAGER AT A DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINEERING FLAW THAT IS CAUSING THIS MODEL YEAR TO RUST THROUGH. I DO NOT BELIEVE REPAIRING THE RUST DAMAGE IS MY FINANCIAL BURDEN TO BEAR WHEN THE REASON FOR THE RUST IS THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS THAT ALL OF THE LUG NUTS HAVE MOISTURE INSIDE OF THEM THAT IS CAUSING THEM TO SWELL. THEREFORE WHEN GOING TO TAKE ANY OF THE TIRES OFF, I AM UNABLE TO USE THE CORRECT SIZE SOCKET TOOL. THE APPROXIMATE COST TO REPLACE ALL OF THE LUG NUTS IS $250, ALL OF WHICH IS DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION ANOTHER COSTLY REPAIR WAS REQUIRED AT ONLY 90,000 WHEN THE ENGINE HEAD WAS FOUND TO BE WARPED/OUT OF TOLERANCE, WHICH RESULTED IN CYLINDERS MISFIRING. I HAD TO PAY ~$5,000 TO HAVE A MECHANIC IN MY AREA REPAIR THIS ISSUE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. OVERALL, WITH A TRUCK THAT HAS 96,000 MILES AND IS ONLY 13 YEARS OLD, THERE HAS BEEN AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ISSUES AND MONEY SPENT ON FIXING PROBLEMS THAT DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM ME, BUT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ACTION TAKEN ON THE EXPENSIVE RUST PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING THAT DRASTICALLY LOWERS THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURING/ENGINEERING FLAW.

I OWN A 2007 RAM 1500 THAT SPITS FUEL BACK OUT AND IS NOT SAFE TO THE PERSON FILLING IT. IT ALSO CREATES A HAZARD WITH FUEL ON THE GROUND. DODGE CLAIMS IT WAS RESOLVED IN 2016 WHEN I FIRST HAD THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOW UNWILLING TO RESOLVE THEIR OWN REPAIR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. FUEL 'SPIT-BACK' THROUGH THE FILLER NECK HAS BEEN A LONGSTANDING PROBLEM IN SEVERAL CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP MODELS, CAUSED BY THE INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV) MOUNTED IN THE FUEL TANK. DESPITE SOME LIMITED RECALLS AND AT LEAST ONE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY, THIS DEFECT, WHICH FIRST SURFACED IN 2001, CONTINUES TO PLAGUE A NUMBER OF MODELS. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES ARE OUTSIDE OF ANY CAMPAIGN, FORCING OWNERS TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE TANK ASSEMBLY. NHTSA ID: 10056513 TSB ID: WB-D-14-23 MOPAR: ON SOME PICK UP TRUCKS, AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN ISSUED ON FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. MODEL 2007-2008 RAM 1500. ISSUED ON 9/9/2014 I ALSO LOCATED INFORMATION ON AN X49 RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES.

BOTH HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM (MY PREVIOUS TRUCK HAD I TWICE(!) WHILE I OWNED IT). IF YOU LOOK AT ANY NUMBER OF ONLINE FORUMS YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM ABOUT THE MILLIONTH PERSON THAT HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN. LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE HAS THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY DODGE HAS RELEASED A STATEMENT (THOUGH I CAN NOT CONFIRM) STATING THAT THE COMBINATION AT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF CAST IRON, ALUMINUM, AND WEAK BOLTS MAKES THIS HAPPEN OVER & OVER AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS.

Summary

STARTED MY TRUCK UP. THEN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT INTO A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. LIKE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO STEEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD AND EVEN WITH THAT THE 5.7 HEMI WAS A LOT OF POWER TO STOP. I AVOIDED HITTING A CONCRETE WALL AND A SIDE OF A HOUSE. LUCKILY I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. IT COULD OF ENDED VERY BADLY. I NOW AM NOT GOING TO USE THE TRUCK UNTIL I FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. I HAVE CALLED DODGE CORPORATION AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING OR NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THEY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY EVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING HAPPENING. I ADVISED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT GOOGLE AND TYPE IN DODGE RAM SUDDEN ACCELERATION. UPON MY OWN RESEARCH A NUMBER OF DODGE MECHANICS HAVE SAID THE FOLLOWING. 1. FLOOR MAT WAS STUCK UNDER PEDAL 2. TPS SENSOR 3. IAC SENSOR 5. THROTTLE BODY ONE OR ALL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IN CONCLUSION I WOULD HOPE THAT DODGE LOOKS AND ADDRESS THIS MATTER BEFORE IT'S TO LATE.

Summary

TSB# 18-003-08, I HAVE HAD THIS OIL SENDING UNIT REPLACED 2 TIMES WITHIN ONE YEAR AND DODGE HAS A TSB OUT THERE TO FIX IT. ALTHOUGH MY WARRANTY IS OUT OF DATE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE SWITCH STARTS TO FAIL THE UNIT SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE ON BOARD COMPUTER TO TURN ON THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT AND REDUCES THE RPMS AND STALLS OUT THE VEHICLE. DODGE HAS A TSB TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO DO IT WITHOUT CHARGING. DODGE KNEW THIS ISSUE WELL BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT DID NOT NOTIFY THE OWNERS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. IT HAS NOW BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK AND NEARLY CAUSING 2 CRASHES. I HAVE ASKED DODGE VIA CHAT TO APPROVE THE UPDATE TO MY ON BOARD COMPUTER TSB# 18-003-18 AND THEY REFUSE. I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN FORCE THE CUSTOMER TO PAY $100 PLUS TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF REGARDLESS. I HAVE NOW HAD TO PAY 100'S TO REPLACE A OIL SENDING UNIT THAT NO LONGER WORKS WITH THE TRUCKS COMPUTER DUE TO DEFECTIVE SOFTWARE USED BY DODGE..

Summary

MY PICKUP THAT IS 14 YEARS NEWER THAN ANOTHER VEHICLE I OWN DOES NOT HAVE HEAT ON THE FLOOR. I CHOOSE FEET ON THE SELECTOR AND ALL THE HEAT COMES OUT OF THE DEFROST. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE AND YEARS OF TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY LAUGHED AND SAID THAT THEY FIX AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE PROBLEMS A WEEK. NOT TO MENTION, AT $1000 TO FIX IT. BUT FUNNY ENOUGH, THE PART ONLY COST LESS THAN $20. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT A PERSON WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEFROST THEIR WINDSHIELD IN THE EVENT THAT THERE PARTS FAIL AT A TIME OF NEED. I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON THIS ISSUE, PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE ISSUE AND CONSIDER A RECALL. THANK YOU

Summary

THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS THAT CONTROL WHERE THE HEATING OR COOLING IS DIRECTED, OR DETERMINING HOT OR COLD, ARE FAULTY AND FAIL AT NO PARTICULAR TIME. THIS CAN CAUSE NO HEAT TO DEFROST WINDOWS WHICH ULTIMATELY WILL LEAD TO VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP I SPOKE TO ABOUT THE ISSUE LAUGHED AT ME AND COMMENTED THAT THEY FIX AT LEAST 2 TRUCKS PER WEEK WITH THIS ISSUE, COSTING APPROXIMATELY $1000. THE PART TO FIX THE ISSUE COST UNDER $20 EACH, BUT THE ENTIRE DASH MUST BE PULLED OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. IF YOU RESEARCH THIS ISSUE, LIKE I HAVE, YOU WILL SEE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE ABOUT 1996. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL SOMEONE HOLDS CHRYSLER RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENED TO ME, I WAS DRIVING IN THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS IN A SNOW STORM AND COULD NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD, BUT MY FEET WERE REAL TOASTY. NOT A LOT OF HELP WHEN YOUR WINDSHIELD IS COVERED IN SNOW AND ICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

I EXPLAINED TO THEM I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERS AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME I WILL BE ADDED TO A WAIT LIST WITH NO ANSWER AS TO HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE THEY REACH MY NAME AND THAT I AM ALSO ON A WAIT LIST TO HAVE THE PART PUT IN ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBACK WHICH I TOOK IN FOR A RECALL IN EARLY 2015! IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY EMAILED SAYING THEY TRIED TO CONTACT ME VIA PHONE AT A NUMBER WHICH IS INCORRECT. I HAVE GIVEN THEM MY CURRENT PHONE NUMBER ON MULTIPLE TIMES. I JUST GET THE RUN AROUND WHEN I TRY TO CALL THEM. I AM NOW GETTING EMAILS FROM THEM ABOUT THIS RECALL AS IF THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER THEIR ASSES BUT WHEN I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ITS ALWAYS THE SAME RESPONSE AND THAT IS I WILL BE PUT ON A WAITLIST. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I WOULD LIKE IT REMEDIED . I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER TWO YEARS GOING ON THREE FOR THESE NEW PARTS TO BE INSTALLED.

NHTSA TAKATA RECALL #'S 16V-325 AND 15V-313... IT HAD TO HAVE MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG REMOVED IN MAY OF 2015 AND NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BACK HAS TO BE REPLACED. IN MAY OF 2015 I WAS PUT ON A LIST AT MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER TO HAVE THE PARTS ONCE AVAILABLE TO BE INSTALLED. ITS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO INSTALL IN MY VEHICLE. THEY HAVE ALSO PUT ME ON THE LIST FOR THE LIST TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED. MY ISSUE IS THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT NOT ONLY HAS AN INOPERABLE AIRBAG, BUT ALSO HAS ONE THAT CAN RUPTURE. ITS UNSAFE AND WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET INTO A COLLISION WITH NON FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS! MY SAFETY IS AT RISK AS WELL AS ANY PASSENGERS I CARRY. I DID NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE NON FUNCTIONING OR INCORRECTLY FUNCTIONING COMPONENTS DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFAULT. A REMEDY TO THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED IN A TIMELY MANNER BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THESE DEFECTS.

I HAVE 4.88 GEARS IN MY TRUCK SO IT TRIPS THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AS SOON AS I DRIVE. I'D SWAP THE AIRBAGS OUT MYSELF BUT NOBODY WILL SELL THEM TO ME. IT'S BEEN ABOUT 2 YEARS WITHOUT DRIVING MY TRUCK ANYWHERE WAITING ON AIRBAGS THAT NOBODY WILL EVEN LET ME PURCHASE. I'VE TALKED TO LANDERS DODGE IN LITTLE ROCK, FLETCHER DODGE AND SUPERIOR DODGE IN CONWAY AND NONE OF THEM WERE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT "FIXING" A PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T EXIST WITH THE WHEEL SPEED AND TRANSMISSION, IT'S THE 4.88 GEARS.

Summary

ON THE WAY BACK TO BUFFALO MISSOURI AT APPROXIMATELY 4:30PM ( TRAVELING 65MPH), THE RIGHT REAR TIRE STARTED TO MAKE A VERY LOUD WINDING SOUND AND SHAKE. I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY (55MPH) AND THE TIRE BLEW OUT THE SIDEWALL, CAUSING MY TRUCK TO SEVERELY FISH TAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TWO LANE ROAD, NARROWLY MISSING ON-COMING TRAFFIC. ON SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2017 I TOOK MY TRUCK AND BLOWN OUT TIRE TO JBC TIRE AND AUTOMOTIVE (AUTHORIZED DEALER OF COOPER TIRES). JOSH MOUTREY WAS THE MANAGER ON DUTY. I INFORMED OF THE BLOW OUT. JOSH AND HIS MECHANIC CHECKED THE TIRE OF ANY FOREIGN DEBRIS, NAILS OR CUTS IN THE TIRE. AFTER THE INSPECTION ON THE BLOW OUT AND THE OTHER TIRES, JOSH STATED THAT THE TREAD ON THE THREE REMAINING TIRES HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR (LF HI:5, LOW:4; RF HI:5, LOW:4; LR HI: 5, LOW:4). ON THE BLOWN OUT TIRE FROM THE RR TIRE THEY FOUND NO FOREIGN DEBRIS, NAILS, CUTS OR ANY REASON THAT THE TIRE SHOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT THE SIDE WALL. JOSH CALLED COOPER TIRE AND RUBBER AT THEIR 800-573-9523 CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND TALKED TO THE ON DUTY SUPERVISOR (DOUG). I WAS LISTENING ON SPEAKER TO JOSH AND DOUG DISCUSSING THE TIRE. JOSH STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE: DISCOVER AT3; 265/10/17; DOT# UT1Y 1A6 3214 ON ALL 4 TIRES CAME FROM THE SAME BATCH# AND LOT#. JOSH STATED TO DOUG THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THE RR TIRE SHOULD HAVE BLOWN AND THAT THERE WAS NO FOREIGN DEBRIS FOUND. JOSH STATED TO DOUG THAT THE ONLY REASON FOR THE BLOW OUT WAS MANUFACTURES SIDE WALL DEFECT. JOSH ALSO, STATED THE REMAINING THREE TIRES HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR BEYOND ANY NORMAL WEAR FOR TIRES RATED AT A 60K MILE WARRANTY. HE ALSO STATED THAT THIS WAS MOST LIKELY DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE RUBBER. DOUG (C.S. SUPERVISOR) STATED THE ONLY THING HE COULD DUE, WAS PRO-RATE THE BLOWN OUT TIRE AND PRO-RATE THE REMAINING 3 TIRES. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES BY COOPER TIRE, ATD (AMERICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTOR OR JBC TIRE AT THIS TIME.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED IN JUNE 2016, THAT MY TRUCK WAS PART OF THE TAKATA PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG RECALL. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD ON 7/7/2016, THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO THE PAPERWORK ON THE FILING, I AM IN PRIORITY GROUP 2. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT I COULD EXPECT THE RECALL REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED BY THE END OF 2016. IT IS NOW 3 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE YEAR AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO FURTHER NOTIFICATIONS FROM DODGE ABOUT THE RECALL OR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN I CAN EXPECT IT TO BE COMPLETED. IN READING SOME OF THE INFORMATION, IT APPEARS THAT IT MAY NOW BE FIXED BY MARCH 2017. I UNDERSTAND PART SUPPLY IS PART OF THE ISSUE, BUT THE MANUFACTURERS HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND SHOULD BE PREPARED TO FIX THIS IN A MUCH MORE TIMELY MANNER THAN UP TO 10 MONTHS (MARCH 2017) LATER. I EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR DELAY IN GETTING THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG REPAIRED. CAN I PLEASE GET SOME INFORMATION ON WHAT THE NHTSA IS DOING TO PUSH THE MANUFACTURERS TO REPAIR UNSAFE VEHICLES IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER? I AM WAITING FOR A REPLY FROM THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION.

FOR THE PAST WEEK MY ENGINE WAS DIFFICULT TO START. CRANKED FOR ABOUT 20 SECOND BEFORE STARTING. TODAY THE ENGINE CRANKED BUT FAILED TO START. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD AND CHECKING THE BATTERY I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX, TIPM, WHICH IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE BATTERY. I OPENED THE COVER TO THE TIPM AND NOTICED WHITE POWDER, ACID. THE NEGATIVE LEAD WHICH IS ALSO CONNECTED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIPM HAD WHITE POWDER RESIDUE ON THE CONNECTOR. I TRIED ONCE AGAIN TO START THE VEHICLE BUT ONLY CRANKED. THEN SOME SMOKE WAS OBSERVED COMING FROM THE TIPM. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND MADE SURE NOTHING WAS STILL BURNING. I READ ON LINE THAT TIPM FAILURE IS COMMON WITH MY VEHICLE AND OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS BUT A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED. THIS COULD HAVE TURNED INTO A SAFETY ISSUE IF MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CATCH FIRE. I HAVE TO SPEND $100 IN TOWING COST AND ~$800 TO REPAIR.

Summary

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED IN AUGUST OF A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE WHERE MY DRIVER AIR BAG INFLATOR COULD EXPLODE. THE NOTICE SAID REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME, I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FURTHER NOTICE. I CALLED THE NUMBER CHRYSLER LISTED ON THE NOTICE IN APPROXIMATELY OCTOBER. I WAS TOLD THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. I GAVE THEM THE NAME OF THE DEALER I WOULD LIKE TO DO THE WORK, THEY SAID I WOULD BE ADDED TO THEIR LIST AND WOULD BE CONTACTED. I HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED. THE LENGTH OF TIME AND LAX ATTITUDE CHRYSLER HAS TO FIX THIS LIFE THREATENING MATTER IS ABSURD. PER QUARTERLY REPORT 15V-313, LESS THAN 24% OF THE VEHICLES OF THE TOTAL RECALL POPULATION HAVE BEEN RESOLVED IN 9 MONTHS TIME AFTER THE MANUFACTURE HAS KNOW AND BEEN ACTING ON THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS FRANKLY UNACCEPTABLE. I FEEL THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP IN, MAKE SURE THE REMAINING 3 MILLION CONSUMERS GET THEIR VEHICLES REPAIRED AND IMPOSE HEAVY FINES AND SANCTIONS ON CHRYSLER FOR THEIR NEGLECTFUL RESPONSE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

DRIVER'S SEATBELT WAS PROPERLY BUCKLED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE WHEN ARRIVED AT HOME. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO FREE THE BUCKLE AND SITTING IN THE TRUCK FOR NEARLY AN HOUR, MY FAMILY MEMBER FINALLY ARRIVED HOME AND HAD TO CUT THE BELT TO RELEASE ME. THANK GOD THIS INCIDENT DID NOT INVOLVE A COLLISION OR FIRE. REPORTED THE ISSUE TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE ON THE SAME EVENING VIA EMAIL. STILL WORKING TO RESOLVE THE MATTER, NEARLY A MONTH LATER. SEATBELT REMAINS STUCK IN BUCKLE AND UNABLE TO BE RELEASED. I REFUSE TO PAY $516 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A FAULTY DESIGN; AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 07 RAM 1500 SEATBELTS. MY TRUCK IS STILL IMMACULATE IN CONDITION AND VERY WELL MAINTAINED. IT IS DRIVEN 100 HIGHWAY MILES PER DAY TO WORK; HENCE THE HIGH MILEAGE. NOT ONE PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK UNTIL NOW. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN DODGE (CHRYSLER) AND THE DEALER IN LEAVING THIS MATTER UNRESOLVED. NO SEATBELT SHOULD EVER FAIL.....

Summary

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 7 DAYS AGO. I HAVE DISCOVERED A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT ONLY PRESENTS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. AT LOW SPEEDS IN, TURNING, OR WHILE MANEUVERING THROUGH TRAFFIC THE TRUCK WILL CHUG AND THEN DIE. LEAVING MY VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. IT HAPPENED TWICE AFTER FUELING FRIDAY, AND THEN AGAIN THREE TIMES AFTER FUELING TODAY. TWO OF THE THREE TIMES I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST IN A COLLISION BY UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS TURNING ONTO A SHARP ON RAMP TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY IT DIED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP AND NOT AT THE TOP WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC. AND THANKFULLY MY WIFE WASN'T DRIVING, BECAUSE WITHOUT POWER STEERING HER AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE LIKELY STRAIGHTENED OUT THE ON RAMP AND FOUND THEMSELVES AT THE BOTTOM OF A STEEP BANK. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION A COLLISION WOULD BE HIGHLY LIKELY WITH FATALITIES FOR SURE. THE PROBLEM LASTS FOR ABOUT THE FIST TEN TO FIFTEEN MILES OF DRIVING, AND DIES AT LOWER SPEEDS 0-25 MPH. I HAVE READ ABOUT NHTSA INVESTIGATIONS INTO OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES PRESENTING THE SAME ISSUES, AND WHERE THE WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THESE WARRANTIES MUST BE EXTENDED TO THE 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 AS WELL IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC AND KILLED.

I HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROLLING THE ACCELERATION SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THE SAME PART ISSUES WERE ASSOCIATED WITH PRIOR AND LATTER YEAR RECALLS, 13V038000, 14V796000. I WAS LUCKY WITH MY SON TO HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IF THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OUT AT FASTER SPEEDS, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD CRASH TO MY VEHICLE, OR ANOTHER PERSON WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME IN THE SAME LANE DUE TO A LOOSE DRIVE SHAFT.

Summary

THE TRUCK BOUNCED ALL OVER THE ROAD SINCE THE DAY OF PURCHASE. WAS TOLD BY DODGE THAT'S THE WAY THEY HANDLE. THE TRUCK IS VERY UNSTABLE AND VIBRATES AT SLOW AND FAST SPEEDS. HAD TIRES AND WHEELS BALANCED MANY TIMES. NEW TIRES INSTALLED. MANY ALIGNMENTS AND STILL THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED. AIR PRESSURE ALWAYS CORRECT. WHEN HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD SEND A SHOCKWAVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE TRUCK SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE. HAD THE TRUCK TO MANY DIFFERENT DEALERS TO CHECK THE SUSPENSION, DRIVETRAIN, AND STEERING, THEY HAVE FOUND NO ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM HAS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW OR A WEAKNESS IN THE TRUCK SUSPENSION. I REPORTED THESE PROBLEMS YEARS AGO TO THIS AGENCY WITH NO RESULTING ACTION.

Summary

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN 07. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END FROM DAY ONE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE SHOP 3 OR FOR TIMES WHEN UNDER WARRANTY FOR THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE SET OF TIRES I HAVE ON IT IS THE FORTH SET DUE TO WEARING OUT. THE TRUCK PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT, TOOK IT IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T OUT & THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FRONT END. THIS WASN'T A DODGE DEALER. WHEN YOU GET UP TO 60 MPH, THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VERY BAD. IF I HIT A BUMP OR GO ACROSS A BRIDGE, IT JERKS THE STEERING WHEEL VERY BAD & ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK. I HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS, THE BUSHING'S ON THE SWAY BAR, & BRAKES AND ROTORS THINKING THIS COULD MAYBE BE THE PROBLEM. IT STILL DOES IT TILL THIS DAY. I SEEN WHERE SOME 07 MEGA CABS HAVE BEEN RECALLED & IN MY OPINION I THINK THEY NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL 07 DODGE RAM 1500 MODELS.

Summary

JULY 21, 2015 I HAD HEARD A LOUD HIGH PITCH NOISE ORIGINATING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT STOPPED, BUT THEN I WAS HEARING A SOUND OF METAL CLANKING TOGETHER. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK. I TOOK A LOOK UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTHING WAS VISIBLY WRONG. THAT EVENING I WAS DRIVING HOME, AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH; I PULLED INTO THE CENTER LANE OF TRAFFIC, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN BACK TO DRIVE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE FORWARD. WITHIN A HALF OF A MILE AS I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE REAR AXLE LOCKED UP AND I SKIDDED TO A SCREECHING HALT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND I AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE, SO I BLOCKED A LANE OF TRAFFIC UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK SHOWED UP. THE REPAIR SHOP I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT SAID THAT AN EAR ON THE PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN LOOSE AND THAT THE ASSEMBLY ACTUALLY SHATTERED. THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ALL THE YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRING CARS. THEY HAD TO GET PARTS FROM A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR, AND WHILE THEY WERE TALKING TO THE PARTS MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT MY TRUCK THE MANAGER STATED "THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM; WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME". I BELIEVE THAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY RECALL THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED ON A FREEWAY WITH MORE TRAFFIC AROUND.

WE WERE HEADING OUT OF STATE ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING FEROCIOUSLY. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND HE SLOWED DOWN. WHEN HE SLOWED DOWN FROM 65 TO AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR THE SHAKING STOPPED. AS HE STARTED TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN IT STARTED AGAIN. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT IT FELT AS THE TRUCK WOULD FLIP. AS WE WERE TRYING TO FIND AN EXIT TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE WE CROSSED A BRIDGE WHICH WAS UNEVEN AND CAUSED THE SHAKING TO BEGIN AGAIN. AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT MY HUSBAND GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AND LOOKED UNDER IT EXPECTING TO FIND SOMETHING BROKEN OR WORN BUT HE COULD FIND NOTHING THAT LOOKED WRONG. WHILE HEADING BACK HOME IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES EITHER WHEN HE GOT UP TO A CERTAIN SPEED OR HIT AN UNEVEN PLACE IN THE ROAD. THE SHAKE WAS FRIGHTENING AND IT MADE THE TRUCK HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL TO THE POINT IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FLIP. IT WAS A TRUE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. AFTER 3 MONTHS AND 2 TIMES IN THE SHOP WITH VARIOUS FRONT-END PARTS REPLACED AND OVER $1000.00 SPENT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. WE ARE GETTING READY TO PUT IT BACK IN THE SHOP FOR A THIRD TIME ON THE 6TH OF APRIL, 2015. WE LOVE OUR TRUCK BUT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF IT DURING OUR EVERYDAY USE. *TR

I WAS LEAVING WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED. I LEFT THE DRIVEWAY AND GOT ON THE ROAD AND ONCE I HIT ABOUT 35 OR SO MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SEIZE AND POPPED IN THE REAR. MY TRUCK THEN BEGAN TO BOUNCE IN THE BACK AND I HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I WAS VERY CONFUSED. I STARTED TO DRIVE AND TURN BACK TO THE STREET AND IT STARTED VIOLENTLY BOUNCING AGAIN SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO THEN HELPED ME FIGURE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WE TOOK IT APART AND FOUND CHUNKS OF METAL GEARS ALL OVER THE BOTTOM. I HAD TO HAVE IT REBUILT FOR $1800 TOTAL. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONFUSED AS TO HOW A REAR DIFF. COULD JUST GIVE OUT SO I LOOKED IT UP AND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR OR CLOSE TO IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD. SOME AT HIGHER, MORE DANGEROUS SPEEDS FOR SOMETHING THAT VITAL TO GIVE OUT. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN ABOUT THIS MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND HAVING THE SAME SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS PART THAT I HAD AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR IT. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED. THE TRUCK IS BARELY BROKEN IN AND I LOVE IT WHICH IS WHY I WAS HEARTBROKEN WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WANT A RECALL DONE TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHERS AND TO HELP THOSE THAT IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED TOO. I'M VERY UPSET THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I'M GLAD I WASN'T GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LIKE SOME OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I WANT THE WHOLE PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE I HEARD IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVELINE AS WELL AND IF THAT SHATTERS LIKE THE REAR DIFF THEN I HOPE I'M AS LUCKY THE FIRST TIME. *TR

Summary

I LIVE IN WISCONSIN WHERE WE EXPERIENCE EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES, AND WITH WINTER TEMPERATURES OFTEN BELOW ZERO, THE OCCUPANTS NEED TO BE WARM TO BE SAFE. THE SAFETY OF DRIVER AND FAMILIES DEPENDS ON THE PROPER WORKING ORDER OF HEATER IN THESE CONDITIONS. THE HEATER BLENDER DOOR IS APPARENTLY STUCK TO THE OPEN POSITION ALLOWING FRIDGE COLD OUTSIDE AIR TO BE BLOWN INTO THE CAB IN THE FOOT AREA. AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR TO OUR DESTINATION THE DRIVER AND THE OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT SEAT NO LONGER CAN FEEL THEIR FEET BECAUSE OF BEING SO COLD. "HOW CAN PROPER ACCELERATION AND BRAKING BE APPLIED WHEN THE OPERATORS FEET ARE FROZEN?". THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND A HEALTH HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE FROST BITE, BECAUSE THE COLD AIR CAN'T BE DIVERTED OR SHUT OFF. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN NUMEROUS MODELS AND YEARS OF DODGE VEHICLES. THE AVERAGE COST OF THE FIX IS 1000.00 TO 1500.00 BECAUSE THE DASH NEEDS TO BE PULLED OUT. I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH THIS ISSUE HAS GENERATED IN AUTO REPAIRS, DO TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. I EVEN SPOKE TO A PERSON WHILE WAITING AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS GETTING IT FIXED. THIS COSTLY/ COMMON REPAIR, IF NOT FIXED CAN EFFECT THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE OPERATORS GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. JUDGING BY THE COMMENTS ON-LINE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

WHEN THIS OCCURS ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GASOLINE SPEWS ONTO THE CEMENT WHICH AT TIMES IN PHOENIX REACHES 120 DEGREES.PLUS. NOT TO MENTION THIS COULD GET ON ME, IN MY EYES OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE VICINITY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES IN SIMILAR YEARS WITH THE SIMILAR ENGINE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE; SUCH AS THE 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 4.7L V-8 ENGINE. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MPH I LET OFF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED TO LUNGE FORWARD THEN STOP THEN CONTINUED TO LUNGE FORWARD IT REPEATED THIS PROCESS FOR A WHILE. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS IT WAS FINE ONLY WHEN I LET OFF IT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WENT TO AUTOZONE HAD THE CODE REED. THE MAP SENSOR WAS BAD SO I REPLACED IT MYSELF. A WEEK LATER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING, ONLY THIS TIME AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AS WELL AS THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED BUT IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WENT DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 1/2 A MILE WHEN HE DIED AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT. HAD IT TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE MAP SENSOR WAS ONCE AGAIN BAD. THEY REPLACED THE MAP SENSOR THIS TIME AND EVERYTHING WAS WELL FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. WHEN ONCE AGAIN THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN THE FAULT CODE WAS THE MAP SENSOR. UPON THEM DIGGING FURTHER THEY FOUND THE PCM WAS ACTUALLY SHORTING OUT THE MAP SENSOR. SO THEY REPLACED THE PCM. THE NEW ONE CAME IN AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPROGRAM IT. THEY CONTACTED DAIMLER-CHYRSLER WHO SENT THEM ANOTHER PCM THEY RECEIVED THAT ONE AND STILL ARE UNABLE TO REPROGRAM THE PCM. SO THAT'S 3 MAP SENSOR'S AND NOW 2 PCM'S. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM NIGHT SCHOOL ON A LOCAL, RURAL HIGHWAY, CROSS TRAFFIC HAS STOP SIGNS... I WAS NORTHBOUND AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 55MPH. A 2008 TOYOTA 4RUNNER WAS WAITING ON A CROSS STREET TO GO WESTBOUND, SAID CAR ABRUPTLY ATTEMPTED TO CROSS INFRONT OF ME. I MANAGED TO GET MY FOOT TO THE BRAKES THE INSTANT BEFORE IMPACT, ESTIMATED SPEED AT IMPACT WAS 50MPH. NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. MY TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I "T-BONED" THE 4RUNNER IN THE DRIVER DOOR, IT WAS SENT ROLLING, COMING TO A REST ON ITS DRIVER SIDE 25 FEET IN FRONT OF MY RAM 1500 ABOUT 60 FEET WEST OF THE ROADWAY. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY? WHY DIDN'T MY LAWYERS SUE CHRYSLER? I HAD A SEVERE CHEST CONTUSION FROM MY SEATBELT, STRAINED BACK, MY LEFT ARM WAS JAMMED FROM FINGER TIPS TO SHOULDER AND I HAD A FRACTURE AND STRAIN IN MY HAND/WRIST THAT REQUIRED WEEKS OF REHAB.

THIS IS A MEGACAB (SOLID FRONT AXLE) AND THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING SO BAD THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. ONLY REASON IT DID NOT CAUSE A CRASH WAS BECAUSE THE CARS NEXT TO ME WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY WAY FAST ENOUGH. I REPLACED THE TRACK BAR BUSHINGS, THE STEERING DAMPER, ALIGNED THE FRONT END AND INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET STEERING BOX BRACE. THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES AND I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT IS WAY TOO UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON PUBLIC ROADS. I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS NICK NAMED DODGE DEATH WOBBLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING HOME A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED HARD LEFT WHILE THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SLIDING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I CORRECTED THE WHEEL BUT IT WAS SO LOOSE THAT WE FISH TAILED THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIOLENTLY WHIPPING BACK AND FORTH AS I TRIED DESPERATELY TO GAIN CONTROL. FINALLY THE TRUCK STRAIGHTENED OUT AND SEEMED TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AFTER THE NEAR CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK AND IT STARTED SCREECHING LIKE DRAGGING METAL UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. I GOT OUT TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS DRAGGING FROM THE TRUCK, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I MADE IT HOME BUT IT WAS SCREECHING OFF AND ON. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I JACKED THE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND TO CHECK UNDER THE CAR I FOUND THAT THE WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND I SOON FOUND TWO RECALLS FOR MY TRUCK. THE FIRST RECALL WAS A FAULTY LEFT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY AND ANOTHER WAS AN UNRELIABLE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT PART OF ANY OF THE RECALLS. I VERIFIED THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON BOTH RECALL LISTS AND SHE AGREE WHILE EXPLAINING EVERY VEHICLE IN THAT PARTICULAR PRODUCTION WASN'T RECALLED. *TR

Summary

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED FROM DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATED HEAVY. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POPPED DOWN TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN RAPID ACCELERATION AND SPEED GAIN. I STOMPED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND IT POPPED BACK UP ALLOWING ME TO REGAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. ONCE ON OPEN ROAD I PUSHED ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO FLOOR AND IT STUCK AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN IT POPPED UP WHEN I TAPPED IT WITH MY FOOT. AFTER THAT I MADE SURE I DID NOT GO TO THE FLOOR AGAIN UNTIL THE OTHER DAY. I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC UPHILL WHEN A CAR SEEMED TO BE COMING A LITTLE FAST CAUSED ME TO ACCELERATE TO NEAR FLOOR. AT THAT POINT THE ACCELERATOR POPPED DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT WOULD NOT POP BACK UP WHEN I TAPPED IT WITH MY FOOT. IT RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO CROSS INTO THE ONCOMING LANE TO AVOID RAMMING INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHICH WAS TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT. MY HEMI REACHED 80+ M.P.H. IN A SHORT DISTANCE IN A 45 M.P.H. ZONE. I FINALLY FORCED THE PEDAL UP WITH MY TOE UNDER IT. THIS SCARED ME ENOUGH TO INVESTIGATE AND CALL CHRYSLER. THEY FIRST SAID THE FLOOR MAT WAS THE CAUSE. I CONTINUED TO PERSUADE THEM AND THEY NOW ARE OPENING AN INVESTIGATIVE CASE. IN THE MEANTIME I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT CAREFULLY. IT IS MY SELF-EMPLOYED WORK TRUCK TOO, AND WHEN IT SITS I DO NOT GET PAID. I TRIED PLACING IN PARK AND PUSHING TO FLOOR WITHOUT FLOOR MAT, AND PEDAL STILL POPS DOWN AND STICKS FULL THROTTLE. FOUND CASES ON INTERNET OF DEATHS RELATED TO THIS AND YOUTUBE VIDEO PROOF OF OTHER INSTANCES. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL OR PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE OF THIS? *TR

MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS VERIFY THAT THE VEHICLE POPULATION IS GREATER THAN JUST 2006 MODELS. CHRYSLER MUST IMPLEMENT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON 2007 VEHICLES AS WELL. WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED, THE VEHICLE SIGNALS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. THE PROBLEM RESULTS IN NEAR CRASH AS OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO TURN OUT OF THEIR PATH BUT REALLY INTEND ON TURNING INTO THEIR PATH. *TR

I WENT INTO THE STORE TO PURCHASE MILK AND WHEN I RETURNED TO MY TRUCK THE ENTIRE CAB WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE AND A STRONG ODOR OF SOMETHING BURNING. THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION AT THE TIME. I LOOKED THROUGH THE CAB BUT COULD NOT LOCATE THE SOURCE. I OPENED THE HOOD OF MY TRUCK AND THERE WERE NO SIGNS WHAT SO EVER OF SMOKE OR FIRE. I WENT BACK TO THE CAB AND INSPECTED THE BACK SEAT AREA OF THE TRUCK. (QUAD CAB) I NOTICED A FAINT ORANGE GLOW AGAINST THE LOWER BODY OF THE TRUCK. I STARTED TO INSPECT THE LEFT REAR DOOR PANEL AND FELT THE HEAT. WHEN I GRABBED THE LOWER SECTION OF THE INTERIOR PANEL MELTING AND ON FIRE PLASTIC STARTED TO DRIP. I RAN INTO THE STORE AND GRABBED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. ANOTHER CUSTOMER AT THE STORE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. THE TRUCK WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. ALTHOUGH THE BODY SHOP STATED THE THE SOURCE OF THE FIRE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE DETERMINED THE TECHNICIAN WORKING ON MY TRUCK STATED THE SOURCE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT WITH THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH.

THE OUTER TIE RODS ARE WORN AGAIN. I HAD THEM REPLACED ALREADY ONCE, AT APPROXIMATELY 22,000 MILES. DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD WEAR SO FAST, THIS WILL BE THE 3RD SET INCLUDING THE ORIGINALS. I SEE THAT DODGE HAS RECALLED THE 2008 MY AND GREATER, BUT NOT 2007. I THINK WITH A LATE MODEL 2007, CHANCES ARE THE PARTS ARE THE SAME AS THE 2007 MY. I THINK DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR THIS 2ND REPAIR AND PROVIDE SOME SORT OF WARRANTY FOR IT FOR THE FUTURE. *TR

Summary

AFTER GETTING A BRAKE JOB I DROVE TRUCK ON FREEWAY WHEN THE BACK WHEELS LOCKED UP CAUSING SEVERE BOUNCING IN THE BACK END. THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO THE REPAIR SHOP BUT LOCKED UP A COUPLE OTHER TIMES ON WAY BACK. THEY BELIEVED THAT THEY HAD OVERTIGHTENED THE PARKING BRAKE CAUSING THE LOCK UP. THEY ADJUSTED BRAKE AND I AGAIN TOOK TRUCK OUT ONTO FREEWAY AND HAD IT LOCK UP AGAIN A COUPLE TIMES. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN. THEY THEN BELIEVED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN A REAR SEAL THAT WAS CAUSING REAR BRAKE PADS TO GET WET AND EXPAND, CAUSING THEM TO SWELL AND LOCK UP. THEY MADE FURTHER REPAIRS AND I DROVE THE TRUCK AS NORMAL FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS WHEN THE REAR END LOCKED UP ON ME AGAIN. EACH TIME IT LOCKED UP IT WAS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER FREEWAY SPEEDS. ONCE PULLED OVER TO SHOULDER THE REAR END WOULD FREE UP AND THEN DRIVE LIKE NORMAL. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN MARCH WHILE ON VACATION. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, HOWEVER, I AM CAREFUL TO DRIVE AT SLOWER SPEEDS ON FREEWAY. I RECENTLY HEARD OF THE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM IN 2009-2010 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUPS AND BELIEVED MY TRUCK MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE REPAIR FACILITY THAT I WAS USING AT THE TIME IS S & K MUFFLER, 1317 N. MAIN, ROYAL OAK, MI 48067, (248) 548-9225. *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND GOT OFF THE EXIT. I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION FOR A DRINK AND THE ROAD I HAD TO GET ON, I COULDN'T MAKE A LEFT TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, SO I HAD TO GO TO THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND MADE A U-TURN. I WENT THOUGH A DUNKIN DONUTS PARKING LOT AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT 20 FEET FROM EXITING THE PARKING LOT, IT FELT LIKE MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WENT FLAT. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT, GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT IT, AND TO MY SURPRISE, THE TIRE WAS LEANING AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DODGE DEALER AND CALLED CHRYSLER/DODGE AND SPOKE TO A CASE MANAGEMENT PERSON. I DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE WITH HIM, BUT WEEKS WORTH OF LEAVING VOICE MAILS AND GETTING NO RETURN CALLS. I FINALLY SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR AND SHE CALLED THE DEALER WHERE MY TRUCK WAS, WHILE I WAS ON HOLD. FINALLY, AFTER 20 MINUTES, SHE RETURNS AND TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY WILL DO. THEY WILL NOT PAY TO FIX IT, OR HELP PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND THEY WILL NOT PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE TO FIX IT AND THEY WILL NOT COMPENSATE ME IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. HER REASONS WERE FOR ONE, THE WARRANTY ON MY TRUCK WAS OVER AND I SAID, YES, I KNOW AND IF THERE WAS, I WOULDN'T BE CALLING YOU, AND FOR TWO, SHE SAID THAT THE BROKEN PART WHICH WAS A BROKEN UPPER BALL JOINT, IS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. I SAID ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS TRUCK IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND IT ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT. HOW DO YOU CONSIDER THAT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR? I SAID IF IT HAD 150,000 MILES ON IT, THEN YES, THAT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, NOT WITH 56,000 MILES. I SAID YOU ARE CRAZY, SHE SAID , WELL SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY, BUT WE ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR YOU. I SAID THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I BUY A CHRYSLER/DODGE PRODUCT EVER AGAIN AND SHE SAID THAT'S YOUR PEROGATIVE. I SAID NICE TO SEE THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. ...UPDATED 07/19/12 *BF

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE APPROX. JULY 2011 AND SINCE I CAN REMEMBER, THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THE SAME THING.

THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME WHEN ENGAGING THAT SWITCH. IN THIS SAME SWITCH IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THIS IS ALSO AFFECTED SOMETIMES BY NOT ENGAGING THEM OR NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY.

Summary

I RECEIVED A FRANTIC PHONE CALL FROM MY SON STATING HIS TRUCK DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AT THIS TIME HE COULDN'T START THE VEHICLE AND THE AREA WAS PITCH BLACK AND HE WAS ON A BLIND CURVE. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HOME AT APPROX. 10:00 P.M. ON THE WINDING, DARK, MOUNTAIN ROADS OF OUR COMMUNITY. HE WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 DODGE RAM HEMI 5.7 LITRE PICKUP. THIS PICKUP HAS VERY FEW MILES ON IT FOR IT'S YEAR. AS HE CAME INTO A CORNER AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND BEGAN TO NAVIGATE HIS TURN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED LEAVING HIM WITH NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING AND NO ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND HE WAS NOT ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE TURN AND COULD NOT USE THE BREAKS AT THAT POINT. HE WAS ON A DARK ROAD AT THE BACK SIDE OF A BLIND TURN WITH NO POWER AND NO BRAKES. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES HE WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE SEVERAL MINUTES IT TOOK HIM TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE FIRST WAS ON A COUNTRY WINDING ROAD WITH LESS TRAFFIC AND AT A LOWER RATE OF SPEED. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED, IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING DODGE / CHRYSLER 5.7 ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THESE EXACT SPECIFICATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. WHEN ARE WE, THE CONSUMERS, GOING TO GET RESULTS? WILL IT BE AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED AND THEIR FAMILY IS FORCED TO SUE DODGE BEFORE THEY WILL ADMIT THE ONGOING PROBLEM? AS I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM I LITERALLY FOUND THOUSANDS OF FORUMS DEDICATED TO THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND OVER 100 PLUS WEBSITES FROM CONSUMERS WARNING OTHERS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THEM. I EVEN FOUND FLEET MECHANICS FROM DODGE CHIMING IN ON FORUMS STATING THAT DODGE KNOWS OF THE ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. I AM ASKING THAT THE NHTSA TAKE HEED AND FORCE DODGE / CHRYSLER TO DO THE ETHICAL THING AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AN INNOCENT LIFE IS TAKEN. *TR

Summary

AS I WENT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE RIGHT SIDE UPPER BALL JOINT FAILED CAUSING THE TRUCK TO DROP ONTO THE TIRE/WHEEL. AFTER I SLID TO A STOP (WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING), I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE. IT BENT THE TIE ROD, PULLED THE 4WD SHAFT APART, ETC. THE DEALER LOOKED AT THE TRUCK ON FRIDAY AND SAID IT WOULD BE APROX. $2K TO REPAIR IT BUT THE LEFT SIDE WAS ALSO LOOSE. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD, "NOTHING WE CAN DO, IT'S AFTER THE FACTORY WARRANTY". I FOUND AN ONLINE COMPLAINT FORM AND FILLED IT OUT. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALER TALKED AND AS OF 1/19/2012, THE TOTAL ESTIMATE WAS SENT TO DODGE IN THE AMOUNT OF $3000.00. CUSTOMER SERVICE CALLED ON 1/23 AND SAID THAT THE DEALER HAS AGREED TO DROP THE PRICE BY $500 AND THAT DODGE WOULD PAY AN ADDITIONAL $500 LEAVING ME TO PAY $2000. I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE BASED ON THE CONDITION OF THE TRUCK, THE YEAR, AND THE MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD A BALL JOINT FAILURE AT 56,000 MILES (I.E.-SINCE '94, I HAVE HAD OVER 300,000 MILES ON GM VEHICLES AND BALL JOINTS HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED). THE TRUCK IS STILL SITTING AT THE DEALER WITHOUT ANY REPAIR DONE YET. I EMAILED CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY AND RECEIVED A RESPONSE SAYING THAT THE OFFER STANDS AS IS. IN MY OPINION, IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY TO SEE WHAT MY NEXT STEP SHOULD BE. EVEN IF IT GETS REPLACED, OEM PARTS WILL BE INSTALLED AND I WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE FRONT END FAILING AGAIN POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. ALL I WOULD LIKE IS TO HAVE DODGE/CHRYSLER PAY THE WHOLE BILL. AS FAR AS I KNOW, DODGE HAS NOT LOOKED AT PICTURES THAT I HAVE PROVIDED NOR HAS A FACTORY REP. LOOKED AT THE TRUCK. I'M TO A POINT WHERE I WANT TO TRADE THE TRUCK IN AS IS FOR A DIFFERENT BRAND. *TR

Summary

I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK A WEEK PRIOR TO THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. WHEN I HIT THE BUMP THE WHOLE TRUCK AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK HAD BROKEN AND WAS COMING APART. I HIT THE BREAKS AND IT FINALLY STOPPED SHAKING WHEN I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AND LOOKED AROUND THE TRUCK, AND I FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT SO I SLOWLY DROVE IT BACK HOME. HAD IT LOOKED AT THE NEXT MORNING AND WAS TOLD SINCE IT HAD ONLY DONE IT ONCE THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 3 WEEKS SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, AND IT HAS DONE IT 5 TIMES NOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND LET THEM LOOK AT IT, AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. 2 OF THE 5 TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE I WAS GOING ABOUT 65-70 MPH AND HAD TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS IN TRAFFIC TO SLOW IT DOWN TO TRY TO GET IT TO STOP BEFORE I LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, ALMOST CAUSING THE DRIVER BEHIND ME TO HIT ME. I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME TRUCKS AND THEY ARE CALLING IT A "DEATH WOBBLE", YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT? I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ON THE INTERSTATE NOW BECAUSE IM AFRAID THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IF I LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WHEN IT STARTS THE VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT ASAP. *TR

Summary

I OWN A 2007 DODGE MEGA CAB 1500. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING. THIS WOBBLE HAS NOT JUST HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE DEATH WOBBLE FIXED SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT FOR ME TO DO SOMETHING ELSE TOO. I HAVE ADDED A LEVELING KIT, REPLACED TIRES TO THE SHOPS SPECS, SHOCKS, FRONT STEERING STABILIZER AND ALL OF THE WORK THE DODGE SHOP HAS DONE. THE MOST RECENT EVENT IS THAT I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALER TODAY FROM IT BEING IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME REASON I HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 OTHER TIMES. I WAS TOLD THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS FIXED AND PROMISED THE PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF. I PAID THE BILL AND LEFT. I WAS 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD NO ONE WAS IN SERVICE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT CLOSE FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES AND TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK. THE TRUCK HAD ALREADY BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST A MONTH. I TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER MY WIFE WAS IN FRONT OF ME IN HER VEHICLE AND THE WOBBLE STARTED AGAIN. SHE MOVED OVER 3 LANES OF HIGHWAY BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FLIP THE TRUCK. THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE APPEARED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHAKE RIGHT OFF. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO WAS HAVE ME LEAVE IT AGAIN AND SOMEONE WOULD LOOK AT IT TOMORROW. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SEVERALLY HURT WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO DO AND NOTHING WORKS. THERE ARE NO RECALLS, NO INVESTIGATIONS, NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR CAUSE A DEATH BECAUSE OF DODGE'S FAULTY EQUIPMENT. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO DO BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED? IS IT GOING TO BE ANOTHER FIRESTONE TIRE ISSUE? I CANT AFFORD TO ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF IT DOES NOT GET FIXED. *KB

Summary

2007 - DODGE RAM 1500 MEGACAB HAS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE, ESPECIALLY WHILE MAKING A SLIGHT TURN, THE FRONT END SUSPENSION SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO REDUCE SPEEDS TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHAKING STEERING IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE AND SLOWING THE TRUCK WHILE MAINTAINING CONTROL IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. IT HAS HAPPENED OFTEN ENOUGH THAT I CAN NEARLY REPRODUCE IT ON DEMAND. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN THE SHAKING OCCURS AND FEAR LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TT

I ARRIVED IN FREDRICTON, GOT SERVICE DONE ON VEHICLE, AND HAD FRONT END CHECKED OUT, ALL WAS GOOD. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED AGAIN, AND SHEARED MY OUTER TIE ROD END OFF. IT WASNOT A FAILURE FROM THE BALL IN THE SOCKET, IT WAS THE SHAFT THAT GOES THROUGH THE STEERING KNUCKLE THAT WAS SHEARED OFF. CALLED AND ASKED DODGE IF THEY HAD ANY ISSUSES WITH UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING IN THEIR TRUCKS, AKA DEATH WOBBLE THEY SAID THEY HAVENT. I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD BACKGROUND IN MECHANICS, I KNOW THE DEATH WOBBLE IS NOT RIGHT, AND IVE NEVER SEEN A TIE ROD SHEAR OFF LIKE THAT BEFORE. *TR

THE FIRST REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE OCCURRED AT 19,964 MILES IN MIDDLE OF MARCH 2010. REPAIRS WERE MADE UNDER WARRANTY. NINE MONTHS LATER THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILS AGAIN AT 25,165 MILES IN MIDDLE OF DECEMBER 2010. THIS TIME THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE DRIVE SHAFT SNAPPED OFF AT THE REAR AXLE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT ALTHOUGH THE FIRST REPAIR WAS DONE UNDER WARRANTY THE SECOND WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH TIME AND MILEAGE DID NOT EXCEED 12 MONTH 12,000MI ON THE REPAIR. I WAS AT HIS MERCY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. SO I PAID $3,000 OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS WHICH I BELIEVE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS JANUARY THE 2ND, 2011 AND THE REAR END IS MAKING THAT WHINING SOUND IT USUALLY MAKES BEFORE IT DISINTEGRATES. I WILL BE VISITING THE DEALER ON MY NEXT DAY OFF FROM WORK.

2007 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4. TRANSFER CASE PARTIALLY LOCKS IN CAUSING RIGHT FRONT TIRE TO LOCK UP. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE DOES NOT ENGAGE FULLY. THIS CAN BE CAUSED BY THE ELECTRONIC TRANSFER CASE MOTOR. THIS WAS OBSERVED AT A SPEED OF 30 MILES PER HOUR AND LOWER. HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET ABOUT THIS FAILURE. HAVE ONLY 52000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE RARELY USED. VEHICLE BECOMES UNDRIVABLE BECAUSE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT FULLY DISENGAGE. SHIFTING INTO 4X4 MODE AT HIGHER SPEEDS COULD CAUSE VEHICLE TO VEER TO THE RIGHT AND OFF OF ROAD CAUSING A CRASH.

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK 10/29/10 WITH 22 K MILES ON IT AND HAVE 29950K NOW.

I QUESTIONED THE FRONT END WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND WAS TOLD IT AS JUST TIRES OUT OF BALANCE. WHEN I PICKED IT UP AND ASKED IF THE FRONT END LOOKED GOOD BECAUSE I NOTICED THE FRONT TIE ROD ENDS HAD A LOT OF PLAY AND I WAS CONCERNED WITH ISSUES DUE TO THAT. I WAS TOLD THE FRONT END WAS FINE NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. I LATER TOOK IT BACK AND HAD ALL THE FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND HAD NO ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD THEY ONLY SET THE TOE. I HAD TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL A FULL HALF TURN TO THE LEFT TO GO STRAIGHT. I PAID FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND THE PRINTOUT SHOWED MY TOE WAS SET UNDER THE SPECIFICATIONS. I HAVE TIRED UNEVENLY WORN DUE TO BAD FRONT END COMPONENTS. I HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT HEAD LAMP REPLACED DUE TO CRACKING INSIDE THE LENS, A BACK SEAT THAT THE LATCH DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE BOLTS THAT NEEDED TIGHTENING DUE TO CARPET BEING REPLACED. I QUESTION HOW THIS VEHICLE WAS PROPERLY INSPECTED AND NONE OF THESE THINGS WERE NOTICED.

BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2009 AT 30,000 MILES I HAD REAR BRAKES REPLACED ON MY 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP AT FIRESTONE IN MASSAPEQUA ,NY. IN APRIL 2010 I STARTED HEAR SQUEAKING NOISE FROM BRAKES SO I BROUGHT TRUCK BACK TO FIRESTONE TO CHECK BRAKES. THEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THAT I STARTED HEARING A DIFFERENT NOISE. IT WAS METALLIC IN NATURE SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO FIRESTONE BUT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE SOUND. I LEFT THINKING IT WAS TRAILER HITCH BUT STILL HEARD NOISE. ON MAY 13 2010 ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT JFK AIRPORT ON THE BELT PARKWAY, WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME I WENT TO PRESS ON BRAKE, AFTER I HEARD A LOUDER BANGING NOISE FROM THE BACK OF TRUCK ONLY TO FIND I HAD NO BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO EXIT, BY PUMPING BRAKES, SAFELY TO A GAS STATION. TURNS OUT THE REAR PASSENGER BRAKE CALIPER FELL OFF ROTOR. FIRESTONE PAID FOR A TOW TO THEIR SHOP AND LABOR, SO THEY SAY, BUT CHARGED ME $168 FOR A REBUILT CALIPER. I FOUND A REBUILT CALIPER FOR $52 AT "ONE STOP AUTO" AND BRAND NEW FROM DODGE FOR $72. FIRESTONE CLAIMS THERE ARE 5 OTHER CASES FROM OTHER FIRESTONE SHOPS AND THEY WERE REPORTING IT TO DODGE. THEY CLAIM ITS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT DODGE SHOULD FIX SAYING THE BOLTS LOOSENED ON THEIR OWN AFTER BEING REMOVED BACK IN SEPT. 2009. I AM NOT SURE WHO IS AT FAULT. CAN YOU HELP? *TR

I WAS TOLD THE STRUTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH ONE DISTRIBUTION CENTER HOLDING A BALANCE OF -265. MEANING THERE ARE 265 STRUTS ON BACK ORDER. SO THERE ARE AT LEAST 132 TRUCKS OUT THERE WITHOUT FUNCTION FRONT STRUTS, ASSUMING BOTH STRUTS HAVE FAILED. I HAVE QUIT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO THE STEERING WANDER WHEN I DRIVE OVER A BUMP ETC... WHAT IS GOING ON? THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ALSO, THE DEALER HAS BEEN AWESOME! THEY HAVE QUICKLY AND PROFESSIONALLY FIXED ANY AND ALL ISSUES, WHICH HAVE BEEN MINOR. *TR

EVENT: 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 LONESTAR EDITION ~ MY TRUCK WAS IN PARK ON SHOULDER OF ROAD SO I COULD GATHER ITEMS THAT FELL TO FLOOR - I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED - HARD IMPACT - BY ANOTHER CAR. THE IMPACT OF THE COLLISION THREW MY TRUCK @ 40 FEET FORWARD. MY MULTISTAGE AIRBAGS IN MY DODGE RAM DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH RESULTED IN NECK / CERVICAL STRAIN & LEFT CLAVICLE / SHOULDER INJURY. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW - 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 LONESTAR EDITION. MANUAL REFLECTS MULTISTAGE AIRBAGS WHICH ARE TO DEPLOY ON COLLISION AT SPEED OF 12MPH OR GREATER. I ALSO CALLED WACO DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AT AND SALESMAN CONFIRMED THAT THE MULTISTAGE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT AT ANY ANGLE HIT. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TRUCK IS A ONE OWNER; I PURCHASED BRAND NEW FEB 2007. VEHICLE SAFETY WAS ONE OF OUR MAJOR CONCERNS WHEN DECIDING TO PURCHASE A NEW TRUCK DUE TO WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN. AIRBAGS WERE DISCUSSED AS PART OF THE SAFETY FEATURE PRIOR TO PURCHASE. WE WERE ASSURED THE AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT ~ AND THEY DID NOT. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH ME AT TIME OF ACCIDENT. (AGES 5, 9, & 12). WE ARE VERY UPSET AS THE EXTENT OF INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN LESS IF AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED PER MANUAL. DAMAGES / REPAIRS TO MY TRUCK = $9,385.00. THE PERSON 'S VEHICLE WHO HIT ME AT RATE OF SPEED WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED; NOT REPAIRABLE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 DODGE TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS NEW. WHILE DRIVING A FEW DAYS AGO, WE SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER, AS A RESULT WE HIT A POWER POLE. THE TRUCK PERFECTLY CENTERED THE POLE, BUT TO OUR DISMAY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE ARE SENSORS LOCATED AT CERTAIN POINTS ON THE TRUCK AND IF THE SENSORS AREN'T HIT THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULDN'T DEPLOY. WE WERE GOING ABOUT 45-50 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK HIT THE POLE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE "SENSORS" WHERE THE TRUCK IS DENTED, BUT THE SENSORS OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WORK. WHAT SHOULD BE OUR NEXT STEP?

Summary

ITEM: AUTOMOBILE SCISSOR JACK (APPLIES TO ALL MODELS/MAKE) EVENT: I ALMOST MOVED A CAR LIFTED BY A SCISSOR JACK, BUT AT THE LAST SECOND, I STOPPED AND NOTICED THE MISSING WHEEL AND SCISSOR JACK. SUGGESTION: CURRENTLY, MOST VEHICLES COMES WITH A DARK COLOR (BLACK, BLUE) SCISSOR JACK. THIS CAUSES TOTAL LACK OF VISIBILITY AT NIGHT , AS WELL AS STRANDED IN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED BY OTHER VEHICLES. MY ADVICE IS TO ENCOURAGE MANUFACTURERS TO USE REFLECTIVE PAINT/LABELS ON THE SCISSOR JACKS TO MAKE THEM MORE VISIBLE, THEREFORE, REDUCING POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AND IMPROVE OSHA COMMUNICATION STANDARDS. THIS WILL IMPROVE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO TOWING DRIVERS, MECHANICS, EMERGENCY CREWS, POLICE, FIREMEN, AND VEHICLE OWNERS. A SCISSOR JACK, AS MOST ARE, PAINTED DARK TO KEEP THE LOW PROFILE DURING STORAGE. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT AID FOR A TOTAL SAFE OPERATION FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT. ADDITIONAL VISIBILITY CAN BE ADDED IF MANUFACTURERS PAINT THEM IN BRIGHT COLORS (APPROVED BY DOT), CORPORATE LOGOS, ETC. IT HAS TO BE A COLOR THAT CONTRACT WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE PARTS, PAVEMENT, AND GROUNDS. CONTACT ME FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/SUGGESTION ON THE ABOVE. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED A DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB HEMI 2007. IT CAME WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP P275/60R20 TIRES. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH HYDROPLANING. EVEN IN THE LIGHTEST RAIN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WILL FISH TAIL AT IDLE SPEEDS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 25000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IT HAS BEEN USED TO TOW A TOTAL OF 2000 OF THOSE MILES. THE TIRES TREAD HAVE WARN SO BAD THAT THEY ARE DOWN TO 6/32 OF A TREAD LIFE. THE OTHER ISSUE WITH THIS TIRE WAS 3 SMALL ROCKS WENT IN BETWEEN THE TREAD AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE IN THREE LOCATIONS IN THE FLAT PART OF THE TREAD TO CAUSE THE TIRE TO HAVE A LEAK. THE TIRE SLOW LEAKED AIR TO 18 PSI WHERE THE PUNCTURES WOULD SEAL THEMSELVES FROM THE VEHICLE WEIGHT. SMALL ROCKS SHOULD NOT OF BEEN ABLE TO PUNCTURE THE TIRE BEING AN ON/OFF ROAD AGGRESSIVE TIRE. THIS TIRE ALSO SHOULD NOT HAVE ONLY 6/32 OF A TREAD LIFE AFTER 25000 MILES OF HIGHWAY MILES OVER 12 MONTHS. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR AND TOOK THE TIRES TO A GOODYEAR DEALER TO GET CHECKED AND WHEN I CALLED GOODYEAR THEY TOLD ME THE ROCK ISSUE IS A ROADWAY HAZARD, BUT I WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR. FOR THE HYDROPLANE AND TREAD WEAR, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE DEALER I WENT TOO, TOLD ME IN HIS OPINION THOSE TIRES ARE NOT AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH OR HEAVY ENOUGH FOR THAT MODEL TRUCK, AND HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GOODYEAR IS PLACING THEM STOCK ON THAT VEHICLE. THAT IS THE CAUSE FOR THE HYDROPLANING. I HAVE ALMOST HAD 2 ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS DURING LIGHT SHOWERS DUE TO SLIDING REAR END. *TR THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANES DURING ANY RAINY CONDITIONS, NO MATTER HOW LIGHT OR HOW SEVERE. THIS CAUSED HIM TO HAVE TO DRIVE HIS VEHICLE IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, DURING THESE TYPES OF WEATHER CONDITIONS. ALSO THE JACK OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT FIT HIS TIRES. HIS VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH 20'' RIMS AND THE JACK IS MADE FOR 18''. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT MAKE JACKS FOR 20' RIMS.

US CUSTOMER SERVICE - DODGE BRAND SITE BRIEF DESCRIPTION: WHEEL PROBLEMS COMMENTS: HELLO, I OWNED A 2001 RAM 1500 FOR 7 YEARS & 400,000 MILES WITH NO COMPLAINTS. I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2007 4X4. I AM REALLY GLAD THAT DODGE HAS NOT MADE TOO MANY CHANGES TO THE TRUCK. I ONLY HAVE ONE MAJOR COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS TRUCK. THE WHEELS! I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY DOWN A DIRT ROAD. THE WHEELS ARE MADE WRONG. EVERYTIME I GO IN OUT FROM MY HOUSE WHEN IT'S MUDDY, THE MUD GETS IN A GROOVE ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM THAT MAKES THE FRONTEND SHIMMY REALLY BAD. IT IS SO HARD TO DIG THIS DIRT AND MUD OUT YOU ALMOST HAVE TO TAKE THE WHEELS OFF TO GET IT ALL. THIS IS GOING TO REALLY WEAROUT THE FRONTEND PARTS VERY PREMATURELY. THE WHEELS ARE 17" AND ON GRAVEL ROADS, ROCKS GET HUNG BETWEEN THE RIM AND BRAKE CALIPER, AND CUT THE RIMS. 20" RIMS HAVE PLENTY OF CLEARANCE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE SHAKING IS VERY DANGEROUS ON A WET HIGHWAY!! I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS EVEN CHEVY OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY REPLIED IT WASN'T OF ANY CONCERN TO THEM AND THAT I WAS ON MY OWN. IT SEEMS A TRUCK THAT LIST FOR $32,000 WOULD HAVE A SET OF WHEELS THAT WOULD NOT GIVE THIS MUCH TROUBLE.

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

Summary

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
