2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Regular Cab

HVAC mode door inoperative causing defroster to not operate and only allowing air out of dash vents causing safety issue when windshield is fogged up due to dew or humidity from rain causing loss of visibility. Mode door broken which involves pulling dashboard and evacuating A/C system at a very significant cost. Have read and heard of many complaint due to broken doors in HVAC system on these vehicles. During early morning hours with dew and during operating vehicle in inclement weather this causes a very serious safety issue. FCA should cover this as it is an unsafe and poor design causing risk to operator and other drivers on the roadways.

COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED. APPARENTLY AN ELECTRICAL SPIKE OCCURRED AND FRIED THE MOTHERBOARD. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE BECAME TOTALY INOPERABLE

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Ram. The contact stated that the rocker panels, subframe, truck bed, and oil pan were severely rusted. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 116,000.

THE CONTACT CHECKED UNDER THE VEHICLE FOR PLAY IN THE DRIVE TRAIN. ADDITIONALLY WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE WINDING NOISE INCREASED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BANGING NOISE AND THE DRIVE SHAFT SEPARATED FROM THE REAR END AND WAS ON THE GROUND. THERE WAS OIL LEAKING AND THE PINION WAS JAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM - TOBEY AUTO GROUP 2020 N DETROIT ST, XENIA, OH 45385 (937) 347-5155 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR END AND DRIVE SHAFT NEEDED TO REPLACED.

ROCKER ARM CAME OFF LIFTER, BROKEN LIFTER SPRING. TOLD IT WAS A COMMON VALVE SEAT FAILURE ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. 147,000 REGULAR MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED. SHOP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES. POOR DESIGN/MATERIAL.

I WAS GETTING OFF WORK AND GOING ABOUT 25 MPH ON THE STREET WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION, I HAD SEEN THE LIGHT CHANGE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I HEARD A CRUNCHING NOISE AND NO BRAKES. ALL I COULD DO WAS HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK UP AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WITH ME ENDING UP HITTING THE STEERING. WHEEL.

ON MORE THAN 1 OCCASION, AFTER FILLING THE GASOLINE TANK, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED SHORTLY AFTER BEING FILLED. YESTERDAY, I FILLED THE TANK. AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FROM PAST EXPERIENCE, I AVOIDED "OVERFILLING" IT. APPROXIMATELY 3 OR 4 MILES LATER, I MADE A RIGH TURN AT LOW SPEED TO ENTER A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. I LOST POWER STEERING AND STRUGGLED TO GET IT TURNED SAFELY. AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T CRANK, BUT EVENTUALLY I DID GET THE TRUCK RESTARTED. I CONDUCTED SOME BUSINESS, THEN WENT BACK TO THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT TO HEAD HOME. AGAIN AS I WAS TURNING RIGHT TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO GET IT TO RESTART. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FROM INTERNET RESEARCH, I KNOW OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING.

NO ACCIDENT YET BUT FORSEEN. THE U-JOINT PART OF INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS ABOUT TO COME APART. THE TRUCK HAS 110K MI. AND IF THIS COMES APART I WILL LOSE ALL STEERING CAPABILITY ALSO HAVE 2"OFPLAY IN STEERING WHEEL CAUSING DIFFICULITY IN STEERING AND WEAVING I BELIEVE THIS PART SHOULD HAVE MUCH LONGER LIFE THAN THIS AND SOME SORT OF SECONDARY MECHANISM TO HOLD THIS TOGETHER BECAUSE IF IT COMES APART WHILE DRIVING IT WILL BE A DISASTER.IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE

AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL ON SERVAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SERVICE LIGHTS. THIS CAUSES THE POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING TO STOP. WHEN AT A STOP SIGN IT CAN BE STARTED SAFELY FROM PARK OR NEUTRAL BUT WHEN MOVING IT HAS TO BE PUT IN NEUTRAL TO RE START BECAUSE THE BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK GOOD EITHER. IT HAS HAPPENED AT STOP SIGN AND STOP LIGHT AS WELL AS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH

THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK HAS BEEN GOING OUT. TIE RODS, SWAY BAR END LINKS, CV AXLES, UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. MY BACK GLASS ISN'T SEALED PROPERLY AND POURS WATER IN THE CAB WHEN IT RAINS DRENCHING MY PASSENGERS OR WHATEVER I AM CARRYING IN THE BACKSEAT, THE WATER POOLS UP UNDER THE SEATS AND I ROUTINELY HAVE TO MASK THE SMELL FROM IT

I HAVE 332,683 MILES ON MY DODGE RAM 1500 MY CATALISTIC CONVERTER WENT I CANNOT GET IT INSPECTED I THOUGHT THEY WERE TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE TRUCK? CAN YOU HELP I THINK THAT THIS IS A RECORD FOR A GASOLINE ENGINE STILL RUNS GREAT EXCEPT FOR THIS PROBLEM IF YOU CAN HELP I THANK YOU (XXXX) REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THE WIPERS MOTOR SPEED FLUCTUATES WHEN MOVING THE STEERING COLUMN UP OR DOWN. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WON'T GO TO 'HIGH SPEED' UNTIL THE STEERING COLUMN IS MOVED AROUND. IT HAPPENS REGARDLESS IF IT IS MOVING DOWN THE ROAD OR NOT.

ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING GOING SLOW ON BUMPY ROAD, TURNING LEFT. LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKES. HAD JUST FILLED TANK. STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I SEE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE.

THE TRUCK STALLS AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME; STALLED IN A TURN CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING; STALLED AT STOPS; CAUSES BUCKING. AT NO OTHER TIME DOES THE TRUCK HAVE THESE ISSUES. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND OTHERS SUCH AS JEEP, ETC. REGARDING THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" QUESTION BELOW, IT HAPPENS AT 95+% OF FILL-UPS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 6/1/19.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER EVERY FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION IF VEHICLE IS PLACED IN A MODERATELY HARD STOP OR MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ON A FREEWAY ON RAMP OR CITY STREET CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND LEAVING VEHICLE IN MOTION WITHOUT POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE TIME THAN I CAN REMEMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V350000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. PREMIER CHEVROLET (401 US-59 LOOP S, LIVINGSTON, TX 77351 (866) 752-4873) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP WITH GAS, IT WILL STALL UNTIL SOME OF THE GAS IS BURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING. VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE ALSO CONSTANTLY EMITS GASOLINE FUMES. VERY DANGEROUS AS MY TRUCK IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WITH THE HOT WATER HEATER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER READS "GAS CAP". MY MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT AND VERIFIED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF DODGE RAM INVOLVING THE GAS TANK. THE PART THAT NEEDS REPLACED IS ATTACHED TO THE INSIDE OF THE TANK, SO AN ENTIRE NEW GAS TANK IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES.

HAVING ISSUE WITH TRUCK STALLING OUT RIGHT AFTER FUELING VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WITH OUT ANY WARNING. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING, TWICE GOING DOWN A HILL AND MULTIPLE TIME WHEN COMING TO A FAST OR EVEN A SLOW STOP OR TURNING. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME AFTER REFUELING UP THE VEHICLE TO FULL. THE ENGINE JUST QUITS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL WRECKS DO TO THESE PROBLEMS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOST CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND COULD END IN A COLLISION. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN MAKING TURNS OR MANEUVERING THROUGH TRAFFIC

MY REAR RIGHT BRAKES HAVE FALLEN OFF TWICE .

HAVING ISSUE WITH TRUCK STALLING OUT RIGHT AFTER FUELING VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WITH OUT ANY WARNING. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING, TWICE GOING DOWN A HILL AND ONCE SO FAR WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN. THIS HAPPENS ONCE A WEEK RIGHT AFTER FUELING UP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. MANY HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AT THE DEALER AND STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. MANY ALSO REPORT THIS PROBLEM OF THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CROSSING TRAFFIC. SOME HAVE REPORTED BEING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT AT 70 MPH. THIS IS BECOMING A MAJOR CONCERN AS I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER WITH MY FAMILY. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONDITION AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ DODGE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING BUT CHARGING PEOPLE AND NOT FIXING THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL COMPLETELY FRACTURED FROM THE AXLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED, BUT NO CRASH OCCURRED.

THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE A FOLLOW-UP RESPONSE TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE WHEEL FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10E040000 (WHEELS) AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: G02 (FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS). THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ..*BF..*JB *DT*BF*JB CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE CAME OFF THE TRUCK WITHOUT WARNING, WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. PHOTOS ATTACHED.*JB

I BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM FOR A RECALL ON MY FUEL TANK IN THE SUMMER OF 2018. THEY KEPT MY TRUCK FOR A FEW DAYS AND GAVE ME A LOANER. THE DEALER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME TO BRING THE LOANER IN AND TAKE MY TRUCK WITH NO REPAIRS. THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID THAT MOPAR NO LONG CARRIED THE TANK FOR MY TRUCK AFTER TEN (10) YEARS. INSPECTION IS COMING UP IN JULY OF 2019. OTHER THAN THE FUEL TANK, MY TRUCK IS JUST LIKE IT WAS, WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH IT. EVEN IF I BUY ANOTHER DODGE TRUCK, I AM NOT GIVING UP THE TRUCK I HAVE. PLEASE, HELP ME MAKE MY NEXT VEHICLE A CHRYSLER OR DODGE, BY TREATING ME RIGHT ON THIS ONE.

SHIFT LEVER BROKE OFF WHILE DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT WENT TO PUT IN DRIVE, SHIFTER GOT SLOPPY AND NOTHING WOULD ENGAGE.

MY TRUCK HAS RANDOMLY BEEN MALFUCTIONING FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS, WHILE DRIVING THE POSTED SPEEDS 45-75MPH THE TUCK HAS STALLED OUT CAUSING ME TO LOSE ALL POWER WITH MY INFANT DAUGHTER I HAVE RUN INTO A DITCHED, NEARLY ESCAPED OTHER PASSENGER COLLISONS I HAVE HAD THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME ON NON-LIT ROADS FORCING ME OFF THE ROAD THANKFULLY NO IMJURIES HAVE OCCURIED, IT IS ALL DUE TO A FAULTY TIPM THAT DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND WONT FILE A RECALL YOUR COMPANY CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY DEFECT TO WARRANT A RECALL FROM THE TIPM, BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN FOR DODGE TO FIX THE ISSUE, IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE I WONT PUT MY CHILD BACK IN THE TRUCK AND I WONT DRIVE IT BY MYSELF, ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TO STEER MY VEHICLE WHEN I LOSE ALL POWER WITHOUT WARNING DOING 65MPH HOURS ON A FREEWAY, IT IS BY THE GRACE OF GOD I AM STILL ALIVE AND HAVENT BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND IM NOT WILLING TO KEEP TAKING THE RISKS

AFTER EACH FILL UP THE TRUCK WILL DIE WHILE COMING TO A STOP. IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL IS LOWERED. MY RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT IT IS EITHER THE FUEL TANK OR FUEL PUMP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOT THIS TIME..

THE ENGINE STALLS AND CUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'VE HAD IT AT 4 DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR SHOPS INCLUDING 3 WEEKS AT LANDMARK DODGE AND NO ONE CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT. I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND CYLINDERS REPLACED. IT'S CRAZY ANDD VERY FRUSTRATING THAT DODGE CAN'T FIX THEIR OWN PRODUCT.

SEVERAL TIMES NOW AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK AND RUNNING IT 10-15 MINUTES IT JUST SHUTS OFF. TODAY ON A VERY BUSY 4 LANE ROAD IT HAPPENED AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH DUE TO NO POWER STEERING. SHOPS HAVE CHECKED IT AND IT DOES NOT SHOW IN CODE ERRORS.

WHILE FILLING UP WITH GAS IT SPILLS OUT. ONLY WAY TO FILL IT UP IS TO IT VERY VERY SLOWLY A LITTLE AT A TIME. IT WENT FROM FILLING UP NORMAL THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WON'T DO RIGHT. THE LAST 4 TIMES I'VE PUT GAS IN IT.

I HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE. THE ENGINE JUST QUITS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER REFUELING AND A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IS NOTICED. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 2 OR 3 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WHILE APPROACHING INTERSTATE 35 IN WACO, TX, ON 11/30/2018. AN INQUIRY WAS MADE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT NO COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THEM. IN REVIEWING OTHER CONSUMER WEBSITES THAT IS NOT TRUE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS DEFINITELY A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD WORK AT TIMES AND NOT AT OTHER TIMES. NOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL. DODGE HAS ATTEMPTED REPAIR THAT COST ME 500.00 AND THE WIPERS STILL DON'T WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE NECK AND SHOULDERS AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 256,000.

JUST RECENTLY, MY 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB, 4X2 WILL STALL RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK WITH FUEL. WITHIN THE FIRST MILE THIS TRUCK HAS STALLED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. ONCE ENOUGH FUEL HAS BEEN BURNT, THE TRUCK WILL RUN FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP AND THE CONDITION RETURNS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOST CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND COULD END IN A COLLISION. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN MAKING TURNS OR MANEUVERING THROUGH TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN WITH THEIR TRUCKS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY TRUCK NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY SINCE THE DEFECTIVE PART IS NOT SERVICEABLE AS IT IS PLASTIC WELDED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. I AM HOPING THAT AN INVESTIGATION WILL BE OPENED AND A RECALL ON THESE TANKS IS INITIATED TO PREVENT VEHICLES FROM STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND CREATING A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION.

TIE ROD ASSEMBLY

REAR END MADE LOUD WHINING NOISE AND KNOCKING BEFORE THE DRIVESHAFT BECAME COMPLETE DISCONNECTED AND THE REAR END SEIZED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED-EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE COVERED UNDER NHSTA RECALL # 13V-038.

TIMP FAILURE

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, IT WOULD TRY AND GO INTO 4W DRIVE LOW. WE CHANGED THE ACTUATOR AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN PROBLEMS BECAME WORSE. AGAIN IT WOULD GO INTO 4W DRIVE LOW WHILE DRIVING. BUT ALSO WHEN WE STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS IT WOULD MOVE AT ALL. WE WOULD SHUT THE TRUCK OFF THEN IT WOULD GO. WE WOULD HEAR A WHINING SOUND AFTER THE TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF ABOUT 30 MINUTES COMING UNDER THE TRUCK. THE END OF JULY WE HAD TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP. THEN WE HAD TO CHANGE THE RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT. WE HAD IT AT 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS BEFORE FINDING THE PROBLEM OF IT GOING INTO 4W DRIVE LOW. IT WAS THE TIMP AND THE TRANSFER CASE. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR 3 TIMES.

AT ABOUT 89,000 MILES I NOTICED WHEN FILLING THE TRUCK THE NOZZLE WOULD CLICK OFF MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WAS FILLED. IT STEADILY GOT WORSE AS TIME WENT BY, IT STARTED TO SPIT GAS BACK ALL OVER THE TRUCK AND MYSELF. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS EITHER THE FILLER TUBE OR THE WHOLE GAS TANK BOTH OF WHICH ARE OVER $2200.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. THEY SAID IF I PAID $150.00 THEY WOULD NARROW IT DOWN. I PAID THE FEE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FILLER NECK. THEY REPLACED IT ONLY TO FIND IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO FILL IT UP AND WAS GREETED BY A GAS SPRAY AS IT HAD DONE BEFORE, IT WAS NOT FIXED! ON TOP OF THAT, THE SERVICE MANAGER, CRAIG REFUSED TO DO ANY MORE WORK ON THE VEHICLE AND TO TAKE IT ELSEWHERE!

THE VEHICLE WAS STABLE AT A COSTCO GAS STATION. WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND SPRAYS ALL OVER, INCLUDING ON ME! THE FUEL SPRAYED FROM OUT AND AROUND THE TANK FILLER NECK GASKET. I CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED THE SERVICE WRITER WHAT IS GOING ON? HE SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE ROLL-OVER VALVE THAT WAS IN THE FILLER NECK. HE SAID IT COULD ALSO BE THE FUEL TANK ITSELF, WHICH IS COSTLY. I ASKED ABOUT WARRANTY OR GOODWILL HE SAID NO. THE PROBLEM, IN THE BEGINNING, IT WAS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY, IT WOULD SPLASH BACK OCCASIONALLY THEN IT BLOCKED THE FILLER COMPLETELY WHERE I COULD ONLY FILL AT A VERY SLOW DRIBBLE. I STOPPED DRIVING ANY MORE THAN SHORT DISTANCES AND COULD ONLY GET A QUARTER OF A TANK IN AT ABOUT 25 MINUTES OF HOLDING THE NOZZLE. NOT ONLY IS IT A FIRE DANGER, AND A CAUSTIC CHEMICAL IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE SPILLING ON TO THE PERSON FILLING THE TRUCK, THE GROUND, AND THE AIRBORNE FUEL PARTICLES! I HAD THEM REPLACE THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND IT TURNS OUT NOT TO BE THE PROBLEM! NOW THEY ACTUALLY TOLD ME AT THE DEALERSHIP, MCPEEKS DODGE OF ANAHEIM THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE FIXING MY CAR AND SAID TO TAKE IT ELSEWHERE! THIS IS A VERY BASIC SAFETY COMPLAINT ON A SYSTEM THAT IS A BASIC FAULT OF THE DESIGN. I NEED HELP! PLEASE CONTACT PHILIP COPELAND STATE OF CALIFORNIA BUREAU OF AUTO REPAIR, WHO HAS DONE A LOT OF LOOKING INTO MY COMPLAINT. HIS NUMBER IS (949) 988-5233. HE HAS CONTACTED THE DODGE FACTORY AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT WAS MY GOTO REPAIR FACILITY. HE GOT NOWHERE BUT TALKED TO EVERYONE CONCERNED AND HAS MUCH INFORMATION.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. MOSS BROTHERS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (8151 AUTO DRIVE, RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 92504, (951) 688-6200) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *TT UPDATED 12/20/18*JB

TAKATA RECALL. HAD TWO WRECKS IN 2008 & 2009. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, HAVE BEEN REPLACED, RECALL CSN 1. SUFFERED SERIOUS NECK INJURY ENDING IN COMPLETE CERVICAL FUSION & TRANSPLANTS. ALSO HAVE CHRYSLER 2005/300 4 SPEED AIRBAGS REPLACED UNDER SAME RECALL. HAD NO WRECKS WITH IT. I CAN'T FIND ANYONE TO REPRESENT ME IN SETTLEMENT. TRUCK WAS MOVING WHEN HIT DEER & STATIONARY WHEN A TRUCK HIT US IN REAR & SIDE BACK.

TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP BC MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & STARTED TO BLINK & DING. BARELY MADE IT THERE & SO THEY CHECKED IT & SAID THE ROCKER ARM NEEDS REPLACING. SO THEY ORDERED IT & SAID ITS ON BACK ORDER & THAT THERE WERE 600 AHEAD OF ME. IF IT'S SO MANY THAT NEED THIS PART, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 3 1/2 WEEKS & STILL I DON'T HAVE MY TRUCK.

WE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSFER CASE AND DRIVE SHAFT ALONG WITH THE EVAPORATOR BOX ON THE GAS TANK WENT FLYING OUT THE [XXX] OF THE TRUCK. IT LIFTED US OFF THE GROUND PUT A WHOLE IN THE GAS TANK AND THE TRUCK COULD HAVE EXPLODED IF WE DIDN'T GET IT STOPED IN TIME SO IT DIDN'T SPARK. OUR HOLE FAMILY COULD HAVE DIED THAT DAY! INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

AFTER I REFUEL, WHETHER IT'S 10 GAL. OR TOP IT OFF, THE TRUCK WILL STALL EVERYTIME AS I DRIVE JUST THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES(MAYBE AS SOON AS 100 YARDS OR UP TO 10-12 MILES OR SO). IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I COME TO A STOP, LIKE AT A RED LIGHT OR AT LOW SPEED MAKING A TURN. IT ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP, NOT ALWAYS EASILY THOUGH. OF COURSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING IS LOST. THIS HAS PUT ME IN A COUPLE OF DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHILE MAKING A TURN AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER STEERING. AFTER IT'S STALLED SEVERAL (4-5) TIMES, IT SEEMS TO RECOVER UNTIL I REFUEL AGAIN AND WE START ALL OVER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO FINALLY FIX THIS RECURRING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME NOW. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOR THE FIRST 40,000 OR SO MILES. IT NOW HAS 65,000 MILES AND THIS PROBLEM RE-OCCURS WITH EVERY SINGLE REFUEL.

ABOUT 40% OF THE TIME WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE (EITHER FROM THE DOOR CONTROL SWITCH OR THE REMOTE), THE LOCKING MOTOR CYCLES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A COUPLE OF DODGE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH A TECHNICIAN WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THIS COULD POTENTIALLY OVERHEAT AND CATCH FIRE! THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW.

DISCOVERED MANUFACTURING DEFECT AT ELECTRICAL PLUG THAT SITS ABOVE LEFT BANK WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD MEETS THE EXHAUST PIPE. FURTHERMORE, THE CONNECTOR SITS RIGHT BETWEEN THE BLOCK AND THE FIREWALL. THE CONNECTOR AND IT'S WIRING HAVE AN EXTREME TURN OFF OF THE PLUG AND CREATED SUCH TENSION THAT THE PLASTIC CONVOLUTED TUBING WAS PULLED BACK FROM THE WIRING. ALL OF THE WIRING TO APPROXIMATELY 6' BACK FROM THE CONNECTOR IS BARE AND THE WIRES ARE TOUCHING ONE ANOTHER. I FEEL THAT IF THE ROUTE OF THE WIRING HAD LESS OF AN EXTREME BEND AND THERE WAS SOMETHING TO SECURE THE WIRING WAS IN PLACE, THERE WOULDN'T BE THIS CONCERNING ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE FCA AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME MONEY. I AM AN ELECTRICIAN BY TRADE AND I FEAR THAT THIS COULD AFFECT A MULTITUDE OF VEHICLES. THE TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED,, AND WHEN SITTING IDLE AT TIMES. ALSO, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO REACT TO THE COMMANDS GIVEN WITH THE GEAR SELECTOR. I'M UNSURE WHETHER THIS IS RELATED OR NOT.

WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY CAME APART WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING A CURVE, TIRE AND PART OF THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY BROKE OFF AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE STALLS UNDER BRAKING JUST AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE, THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES UNTIL SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL ARE USED. POWER STEERING AND BRAKING IS LOST DUE TO ENGINE STALLING. THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD SURFACE AT ANY SPEED. ENGINE WILL RESTART SOMETIMES AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WENT OUT AND YHE EGR VALVE WENT OUT ALSO

WHEN I STOP FOR GAS, I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK, GAS COMES GUSHING OUT FROM AROUND THE TANK OPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ABOUT A PINT OR MORE SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER ME THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. I AM AFRAID OF THE VOLATILITY OF THE GAS SO I WON'T TAKE A PHOTO FOR FEAR OF A SPARK. NOT ONLY IS THIS PHYSICAL GETTING FUEL ON MY PERSON BUT AN ENVIRONMENT HAZARD TOO. NEED HELP SOON THE FACTORY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE FIXED SIMILAR TRUCKS THAT DO THE EXACT SAME THING, THEY SAY I AM NOT COVERED! THEY SAY IT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE ROLL-OVER VALVE STICKING. NOT ONLY AM I AT RISK OF BURNING UP AT THE STATION, I COULD BE INCINERATED IN A ROLL-OVER CRASH!!

IS THERE WAS AN EXPIRATION DATE ON THE AIR BAG RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE? I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE RECALL REPAIRED, BUT THE DEALER DIDN'T HAVE ANYMORE PARTS IN STOCK. THAT WAS LAST SUMMER, AND NOW THEY ARE BACKED UP WITH APPOINTMENTS. I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DEALER. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE TIME DOES NOT RUN OUT FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE DONE ON THIS VEHICLE.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WIPER MODULE AND FROM WHAT I FOUND OUT IS THE WIPER MODULE ACCORDING TO DODGE IS THE LINKAGE ON THE WIPERS AND I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER SAID THE LINKAGE WAS BENT AND WOULDN'T FIX IT SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND ENDED UP PAYING 340.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIX

WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. THEY ALSO PERIODICALLY BLINK OFF FOR A SECOND THEN RETURN. THIS MAY HAPPEN ANY AMOUNT OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED OUT OF GEAR. I OFTEN TRAVEL S STATE HIGHWAY BUT DOESN'TATTER WHERE OR WHEN I CAN BET ON IT HAPPENING.

TAKATA RECALL CENTRAL VALLEY DODGE JEEO MODESTO,CA HAS FAILED TO HELP ME

MY TRUCK CAUGHT ON FIRE IN ENGINE AREA , ENGULFED BACK TO THE BOX WHOLE TRUCK DESTROYED! INSPECTOR NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED FIRE. TRUCK WAS TOTALED. STATIONARY FOR TWO HOURS AT WORK.

WHILE TRYING TO FILL FUEL TANK STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION, FUEL SPILLS OUT AND SHUTS DOWN FUEL FILLING NOZZLE, DEALER REPLACED FUEL FILL TUBE ON 11/22/2017 BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NOW CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO B PAY THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ MANY DODGE FORUMS WITH HUNDRED OF OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER A GAS FILL-UP. I START MY TRUCK AFTER FILLING UP AT THE PUMP. PULL OUT OF THE STATION, GO A LITTLE WAYS DOWN THE ROAD, STOP AT A STOPLIGHT. SIT AT IDLE FOR MAYBE 30 SECONDS & THE TRUCK DIES. THE TRUCK ONLY DOES THIS AFTER FILLUPS. NO CHECK ENGINE. NO CODES. LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSTANTLY AFTER EVERY FILL UP. THE TRUCK RUNS FINE AFTERWARDS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIR BAGS AND I TOOK IT TO DODGE DEALER ON MARINA BLVD SAN LEANDRO CALIFORNIA 94577, THEY FIXED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE I AM STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE. I NOT NOT RECEIVED NOTICE AS OF YET.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ACCELERATION OR GAS PEDAL WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS SOMETIMES TO ACCELERATE. LIKE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY OR INTERSTATE OR TRYING TO PASS A SLOW-MOVING VEHICLE MY GAS PEDAL OR ACCELERATION PEDAL HAS A TENDENCY TO STICK. I THEN HAVE TO STOMP ON IT OR TRY TO PULL UP ON IT WITH MY FOOT TO FREE IT UP. AS I HAVE STATED IN MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT I GUESS NOTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT ON TILL SOMEONE IS HURT INJURED OR KILLED.

THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME 4,000 ON TRADE THAT TRUCK WAS WORTH AROUND 8,000 DOLLARS. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER ABOUT TWO WEEK LATER AND THE 2008 THAT I TRADED WAS OFF THE LOT AND I AM SURE THAT THEY SOLD TO SOME BUY HERE HEAR PAY HERE I FELL LIKE THEY CHEATED ME OUT OF THE 4,000 DOLLARS MORE FOR THE TRUCK.

INTERMITTENT FRONT END VIBRATION DESCRIBED ONLINE AS "DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (OVER 55) STEERING WHEEL WILL RANDOMLY VIBRATE AND SHAKE AND VEHICLE FRONT END SHAKES AS IF THE FRONT WHEELS ARE "FIGHTING EACH OTHER" AND OUT OF UNISON WITH THE OTHER. SLOWING DOWN WILL STOP THE VIBRATION AND VEHICLE WILL SETTLE DOWN AND RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURS WITHOUT NOTICE, BUT ESPECIALLY WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ACROSS A ROUGH PATCH OR TRANSITION FROM ONE ROAD SURFACE TO ANOTHER. MORE LIKELY ON HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY FOR YEARS. SERVICE CENTERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE. HAVE INSPECTED FRONT END, SHOCKS, TIE RODS, BALL JOINTS, ETC. AND FOUND NO REASON FOR TROUBLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITH THE HELP OF A GOOD SAMARITAN AND MY EVASIVE MANEUVER COURSE REQUIRED BY MY JOB, BEFORE ANYTHING TRAGIC HAPPENED. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED MY SUSPICION OF A BROKEN TIE ROD, SPECIFICALLY THE LEFT TIE ROD WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED ON EVERY 2008 RAM EXCEPT MY 1500. I FIND THIS VERY SUSPECT THAT ALL THE OTHER RAMS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND FIXED EXCEPT MY MODEL, YET I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I AM GRATEFUL THAT I DID NOT GET HURT, OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURE ANYONE ELSE, HOWEVER THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED IN FURTHER BY THE GOVERNMENT. ALL OF THESE TRUCKS ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY ARE FIXED. ACCORDING TO MY NORMAL MECHANIC, THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE TIE ROD. HE HAS REPLACED MANY 1500 TIE RODS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OWNERS, THIS SHOULD NOT BE. PLEASE ORDER RAM TO ISSUE A RECALL ON ALL THE 2008 RAM TRUCKS TO KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE. THANK YOU

THE TRUCK WILL THROW YOU INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AND YOU HOPE AND PRAY NO ONE IS THERE. SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES AT NORMAL SPEEDS. NOT A GOOD FEELING AND NOT FAIR DODGE ONLY PICKED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF THESE TO FIX.

WHEN PUTTING MY TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO THE LEFT MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL COMES ON. SOMETIMES THE LEFT WILL BE WORKING THEN IT WILL SWITCH OVER TO THE RIGHT. TURN MY RIGHT BLINKER ON AND IT STOS THEN COMES ON AGAIN STOPS ETC. JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING O HAPPEN.

THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVEN ME MANY PROBLEMS AND MOST RECENTLY VERY DANGEROUS ONES. A FEW MONTHS AGO ON MY WAY TO WORK AROUND 4AM THE DRIVE SHAFT BROKE OFF AND FLEW OUT AT 75 MPH. LUCKILY THERE WASN'T MUCH TRAFFIC DURING THAT TIME AND THE BACK PART OF THE DRIVE SHAFT IS THE ONE THAT BROKE OFF NOT THE FRONT SO THE TRUCK DIDN'T FLIP OVER. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN REPAIRED SINCE THEN. NOW A FEW DAYS AGO MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND IT TURNED OFF ON HER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS WORKING OUT OF TOWN. ON MY RETURN I FOUND THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ON AT THE DASHBOARD. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS TYPICALLY IN RELATION TO A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY. I FOUND THIS TO BE MORE THAN COMMON ON MANY DODGE VEHICLES AND OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE INTEGRATED INTO THE TIPM AND NOT SERVICEABLE. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO NOT BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT NOW APPEARS I AM BEING FORCED TO SPEND $1200 ON A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS VEHICLE HAS GONE FROM BEING MY DAILY COMMUTER TO A HUGE LIABILITY BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT.

COMPLETELY SCARY TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND CAN'T SEE THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS! THE COMPANY SHOULD REPLACE THIS AT NO COST. APPARENTLY THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RECALLED, BUT MY VIN WASN'T A PART OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE? A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT WON'T TAKE CARE OF A LOYAL CUSTOMER WITH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR THE SAFETY OF USING THE VEHICLE IS LIMITED BY WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHAT IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND I HAD BEEN KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY WIPERS DIDN'T WORK AND THE COMPANY NEW IT WAS AN ISSUE AND WOULDN'T FIX IT? VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS PROBLEM AND THE COMPANY'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 60 MPH, FOLLOWING THE LAW, RAIN STARTED COMING DOWN, WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK SO I COULD SEE THE ROAD. EXTREMELY UPSETTING AND SCARY TO BE IN THAT SITUATION. WOULD HATE FOR MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM.

THE IMPACT TO MY TRUCK WAS JUST IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL. THE BUMPER WAS CRUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FRAME AND THE FRAME WAS BENT OVER 1 FOOT. THE TRUCK HAD BOTH FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS AND NONE OF THEM WENT OFF. MY HEAD HIT THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS WINDOW AND DOCTORS ARE SAYING I MAY NEED BOTH SHOULDER AND NECK SURGERY.

RECENTLY WENT OVER 100K MILES AND FUEL TANK IS NOT FILLING PROPERLY, AS IT ACTUALLY TRIPS THE PUMP EVERY HALF GALLON OR SO. AFTER GETTING TANK FILLED, TRUCK STALLS FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 15 MILES. TRUCK HAS STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED, COMING TO A STOP, ETC. AFTER ABOUT 15 MILES, STALLING STOPS, BUT ONCE AGAIN THE TRUCK WILL NOT TAKE FUEL PROPERLY. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO REPLACE FUEL TANK WITH AN EXACT REPLICA THAT STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ONLINE RESEARCH, PROBLEM IS STATED TO BE A STUCK VENT LINE VALVE INTERNAL TO THE GAS TANK. ALMOST $2,000 DOLLARS WANTED TO REPLACE THIS TANK WITH ANOTHER TANK THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. WHEN TRUCK DOES STALL, LOSS OF STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. UNTIL I DROP IT INTO NEUTRAL, START IT AGAIN, AND PUT BACK IN DRIVE WHILE ALL THE TIME TRYING TO MAKE SURE I DO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY TRUCK HAS QUIT FUNCTIONING 3 DIFFERENT TIMES (DAYS). ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND ENGINE. MOST TIMES IT IS STILL RUNNING BUT I CANNOT MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE. THE LAST TIME THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY AND I COULD NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE MADE REPAIRS BASED ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS WRONG, ONLY TO HAVE IT STOP EXACTLY THE SAME 4 OR 5 DAYS LATER. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS CONDENSER, OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND BATTERY CABLE, THE SECOND REPAIR WAS THE BRAIN. THIS THIRD TIME THEY HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND YESTERDAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM CODES WHEN ON COMPUTER. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT NOR SAFE TO DRIVE A TRUCK THAT JUST STOPS WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ON A WEBSITE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND HAVE FOUND 10 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH VERY SIMILAR VEHICLE PROBLEM. I AM LEAVING WORK EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS AND AM THANKFUL I AM NOT TRAVELING HOME DURING RUSH HOUR; I'D LIKELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE ALMOST $2000. AND STILL NO TRUCK.

65 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY. MY JOB IS LOCATED 60 MILES FROM HOME, ONE WAY, ALL HIGHWAY MILES. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER RIDING WITH ME. IF I SLOW DOWN I CAN USUALLY REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, ONE DAY WE MAY END UP IN DITCH. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK HOPING FOR A RELIABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I, WHICH I DON'T FEEL I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED! I AM TERRIFIED FOR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, STEERING MAY GO OUT, AND I CAN'T MISS WORK DUE TO DODGE MISTAKES! WE HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 2MONTHS. SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS!

IF I GET A LITTLE BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY I LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL, ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEARS. BUT LATELY IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY STEERING BOX AND WHEELS MAINLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE LIKE IF I'M DRAGGING SOMETHING AND AS IF MY STEERING IS FALLING APART. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR CONCERN THAT I RECENTLY STOPPED DRIVING IT. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE WILL DIE/STALL WHEN GAS IS FULL, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS OR STOPPING QUICKLY AS IN FOR AN EMERGENCY. SOMETIMES JUST DIES WHEN SLOWING DOWN. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO GAS MOVING AROUND IN THE GAS TANK WHEN IT IS FULL OR CLOSE TO FULL. WHEN VEHICLE DIES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE ALSO LOST MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND IT QUICKLY BECOMES A DANGEROUS SITUATION TRYING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHTS THOUSANDS OF POUNDS WHILE MOVING ALONG A BUSY STREET.

IN APRIL 2016 WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK STARTED TO VIBRATE BADLY IN THE REAR. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. AS I SLOWED DOWN TO PULL OVER, THE TRUCK STARTED TO JERK LIKE I WAS PUMPING THE BRAKES. AS IT STOPPED, YOU COULD HEAR A TIRE SKIDDING. NOT STEADY, BUT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO BREAK HARD.I DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WAS SMOKING AND EXTREMELY HOT. I HAD IT TAKEN TO A DODGE DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A STICKING CALIPER. THEY REPLACED BOTH REAR CALIPERS AND BLEED THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK DROVE FINE AFTER THE $570.00 REPAIR BILL. IN JULY 2016 WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE COUNTY HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK STARTED PULLING STRONGLY TO THE LEFT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I STOPPED AND THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HOT. YOU COULD NOT TOUCH IT. I LET IT COOL AND IDLED HOME ON THE SHOULDER. MY TRUCK HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT.I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I PROBABLY NEEDED FRONT CALIPERS ALSO. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WITH THESE TRUCKS. I DRIVE MOSTLY ON TWO LANE COUNTRY ROADS IN THE MOUNTAINS. A SKID OR LOSS OF CONTROL CAN BE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IN BOTH CASES THERE WAS NO WARNING. WITH THE FRONT WHEEL IT JUST STARTED PULLING LEFT. IF I HADN'T HAD A FIRM GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL IT WOULD HAVE CROSSED THE CENTER LINE. THE BREAK PADS HAVE 70 PERCENT LIFE LEFT ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THEM.

IT FIRST STARTED AS SEVERE SHAKING WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP, ESPECIALLY ON AN CURVE. THE TRUCK WOULD HOP AND SHAKE AND BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL I SLOWED. THIS STILL HAPPENS BUT NOW I ALSO GET AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE WHENEVER I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THERE IS ANY KIND OF INCLINE OR BEND IN THE ROAD. ONLY FIX IS TO SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY.. IT'S DANGEROUS! I'VE BECOME TRAINED TO DEAL WITH IT BUT IT'S CERTAINLY UNSAFE AND I ALWAYS WORRY THAT IT WILL HAPPEN ON A SLICK ROAD AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD IT ON THE ROAD. I'VE REPLACED TIRES, ALIGNED, BALANCED, ROAD FORCE BALANCED AND NOTHING FIXES IT!

NOW WHEN I CALLED THE FCA ABOUT THIS THEY HAD US ON A CONFESS CALL AND THE MANAGER HAD SAID THERE WAS NO AIR BAG NOW HE IS STATING THERE WAS NEWSPAPER AND CARDBOARD PAPER STUFFED IN THE STEERING WHEEL HE DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE HE DID TO MY TRUCK NOW THEY LEFT MY AIR AWFUL WHEN U LOOK AT IT U TELL ME IS THIS MY FAULT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE STATING THE FIRST IMAGE I SENT IS WHAT MY STEERING WHEEL LOOK LIKE BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THE REST IS WHAT THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME LIKE

AFTER THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED, WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND DIE IN TRAFFIC AND IS SLOW TO RESTART. THE DASH SHOWS A "CHECK GAUGES" LIGHT, HOWEVER THERE ARE NO CODES THROWN. THE DEALER HAS SAID THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT IF THIS IS THE CASE IS SEEMS THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW.

I HAD THE BRAKE LINES FLUSHED AND NEW BRAKE FLUID PUT IN ALONG WITH CLEANING OUT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND PUTTING IN EXPENSIVE SYNTHETIC OIL AND STILL NO CHANGE. I'VE CALLED DODGE CORPORATE ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE BOOKS ABOUT THIS.

IF TRUCK HAS A FULL TANK OF GAS, IT WILL STALL IF SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A HALT. IF IT IS FULL, AND YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE, IT SEEMS TO BE FINE, AS YOU EXIT THE INTERSTATE AND COME TO A LIGHT OR STOP, IT WILL STALL AND YOU HAVE TO RESTART. ONLY HAPPENS IF A FULL TANK. NO DODGE SHOPS CAN ANSWER WHY. NUMEROUS YOU TUBE VIDEOS ON THIS ISSUE WITH NO ANSWERS FROM THE EXPERTS.

ALSO I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THEY ALSO HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT DO ANY REPAIRS UNTIL I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE BY MAIL WHICH I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS RECEIVING OUR MAIL DUE TO NEW MAIL CARRIERS PUT THE WRONG MAIL IN DIFFERENT MAIL BOXES. SO WHAT CAN I DO TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I AM IN AND ACCIDENT AND INJURY OR KILL SOMEONE AND OR MYSELF. I HAVE ALSO HAD SOME ISSUES WITH MY STEERING.

INTERMITTENT SHUT DOWN AT ANY TIME. CRANK POSITION SENSOR WIRE SHORTING OUT AGAINST ENGINE BLOCK. POOR DESIGN, WIRE SHOULD BE ENCLOSED IN SUCH AWAY THERE IS NO CHANCE OF THIS OCCURRING.

I WAS PULLING MY 19FT. BOAT, AND I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AND I HIT THE GAS. THERE WAS A KNOCK IN THE REAR END AND A LOUD POP. I LOOKED UNDER THE REAR END, AND I NOTICED THAT THE REAR END WAS LEAKING AT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED THE REAR WHEELS WOULD NOT ROLL. THE REAR END LOCKED UP. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS WENT OUT. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 34,000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME THE REAR END WAS MAKING GROUNDING SOUNDS BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT UNDER THE ORIGINAL SERVICE WARRANTY. WHEN THEY TOOK THE REAR END APART, THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL. THIS TIME THE TRUCK NOW HAS 94,000 MILES. BOTH DIFFERENTIALS ARE CURRENTLY AVERAGING 45,000 MILES EACH.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE PINION BEARINGS, REAR WHEEL SEALS AND ALL THE BEARINGS IN THE REAR END. THEN AFTER ALL THAT WAS FINALLY FIXED I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I START TO HEAR THE SAME NOISE AGAIN SO YET AGAIN I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND YET AGIAN THEY TELL ME THAT THE REAR END IS MESSED UP. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT MY TRUCK WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM . MY ENTIRE REAR END IS MESSED UP BECAUSE OF THIS AND I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE THE MECHANICS HAD NO IDEA THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL.

DODGE RAM 2008 QUAD CAB 1500 SERIES. AT THE TIME I CALLED INTO DODGE I HAD ROUGHLY 60 THOUSAND MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED DODGE IN 2014 AND THEY TOLD ME ALTHOUGH THAT WAS THE MODEL AND SERIES THAT WAS PART OF A RECALL THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL . THE PROBLEMS I HAD ENDURED WERE SWAYING OF THE TRUCK ALMOST TO THE EXTENT WHERE THE TIRE FELT LIKE IT WAS WOBBLING AND THE TRUCK SHAKING WHEN I EXCELLERATED OVER 50 MPHS . IT WAS AT THAT TIME WHEN I TOOK A ROAD TRIP FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2014 WHEN THIS STARTED GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I PRETTY MUCH HAD TO DRIVE 40 MILES AN HOUR THE I75 FREEWAY BECAUSE THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FLIP OVER WHEN I WAS EXCELLERATING. IT WAS RIGHT THERE AFTER THAT I CONTACTED DODGE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT AND THEY TOLD ME ALTHOUGH I HAD THE YEAR AND MAKE OF THE RAM BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY RECALL. SO THERE AFTER I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIE RODS AND THE SWAY BAR AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND ALSO REPLACE MY TIRES NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT WHICH WERE NEW FROM THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2011. MY BIGGEST FEAR WAS THE VEHICLE THAT WAS THE SAFEST OF THE 2 MY FAMILY OWNS WAS NOW A RISK TO MY CHILDREN,MY SPOUSE AND I. I ALSO HAD FELLOW VACATIONERS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME WHICH WITNESSED THE VEHICLE SHAKING OBSESSIVELY WHEN WE WERE ACCELERATING.

THE YOUNG LADY AT THE ASSISTANCE CENTER TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS WERE STILL BEING TESTED???? SO....WHAT IF WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND SERIOUSLY OR FATALLY HARMS SOMEONE???? THIS RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN FLAGGED BETTER ON CARFAX AND THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.

THE TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED A HABIT OF RANDOMLY STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS AND RAILROAD CROSSINGS. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS.

THE BRAKES ON OUR 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 FAILED ON 2/5/2016. AS I WAS IN MOTION HEADED STRAIGHT WHEN THE TRUCK'S BRAKES FAILED AND I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET ABOUT 20-30 MPH WHEN I LOST THE USE OF THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK KEPT TRAVELING FORWARD ABOUT 50 YARDS AFTER I HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE AND I WASN'T SURE HOW I WAS GOING TO STOP THE MOVING TRUCK WHEN I REMEMBERED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER THAT IN THE CENTER TURN LANE AND I REMAINED THERE UNTIL THE POLICE ARRIVED. WHEN THE OFFICER ARRIVED I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE BRAKES ON THE TRUCK FAILED EVEN AFTER I HAD BEEN RUNNING ERRANDS AND PICKED UP LUNCH JUST MINUTES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS MADE AND I TOOK PICTURES OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND INTERNAL BRAKE COMPONENTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES WERE SHOWN TO THE RESPONDING POLICE OFFICER AND THE PERSON IN THE OTHER VEHICLE I HAD HIT. I ALSO REPORTED THE FAULTY BRAKES TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. I CAN PROVIDE A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT ONCE IT'S AVAILABLE IN 24-48 BUSINESS HOURS. I BELIEVE THE 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK WAS BUILT WITH AN IMPROPERLY FORMED OR FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER INPUT ROD RETAINING CLIP WHICH CAUSED IMPROPER SERVICE BRAKES AND/OR HYDRAULICS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE REAR END LOCKED UP CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO TWIST IN HALF AND THE TRANSFER CASE TO BUST INTO PIECES. THE TRUCK SPUN OUT OF CONTROL INTO A DITCH. THERE WAS NO WARNING, THERE ARE RECALLS ONLINE FOR OTHER YEAR MODELS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR 2008. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PINION GEAR.

IN SEPTEMBER 2015 MY TRUCK ENGINE SHUT OFF ON I-20 W AFTER A HARD BRAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE APPROACHING A TRAILER WITH A WIDE LOAD ON A BRIDGE OVERPASS. I WAS THE LEAD VEHICLE AND HAD THE LEFT LANE MOMENTARILY BLOCKED UNTIL I COULD RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK, IT TOOK TWO ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THEN, IN DECEMBER 2015 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE CITY AFTER A MODERATE STOP AT A RED LIGHT, AGAIN HOLDING UP TRAFFIC UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT ONE TENTH MILE THE ENGINE QUIT AGAIN AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS A HARD BREAK SITUATION TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT BUT THE SECOND TWO SHUTDOWNS HAPPENED WITH LIGHT BREAKING WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE ENGINE HAD TO BE RESTARTED, IT REQUIRED A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT WOULD ENGAGE AND THEN RAN ROUGH FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE SMOOTHING OUT. EACH INSTANCE WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE FIRST TIME AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70MPH AND THE LAST TWO AT 30 OR 40 CITY MPH. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS SINCE THE LAST TIME BUT I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO LIGHTLY APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN POSSIBLE. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SO THAT PROMPTED ME TO FILE THIS REPORT. I FEEL THE PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH A ENGINE ELECTRONIC CONTROL OF SOME SORT OR OTHER. THE ENGINE IS THE VERIABLE 5.7L HEMI. MY WIFE HAS BEEN SO UPSET WITH THIS HAPPENING, SHE REFUSES TO RIDE IN MY TRUCK ANYMORE. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, MOSTLY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW TRUCK. BUT, I DON'T WANT TO TRADE UNTIL I FIND OUT IF THIS PROBLEM IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER I HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL.

YESTERDAY, HAVING HEARD NOTHING, I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THEY WOULD PUT ME ON A LIST AND I MIGHT GET A CALL IN ~ 4 MONTHS WHEN PARTS ARRIVE. NHTSA KEEPS TELLING ME I AM IN DANGER BUT THE CAR MANUFACTURER DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO RESPOND WITH ANY URGENCY. HOW DO WE SPEED THIS UP?

THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR. THE FIAT CHRYSLER WEBSITE CLAIMS THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE AND SHOULD CONTACT A DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THERE ARE NOT ANY PARTS AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THERE WILL BE ANY PARTS.

WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHETHER UNDER A LOAD OR NOT, USING SUSTAINED HIGHER RPM'S THE STEERING WHEEL WILL FREEZE UP AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STEERING AVAILABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MUD PULLING A TRAILER, IN SNOW NAVIGATING A LITTLE HILL AND NOW ON THE INTERSTATE ENTRANCE RAMP! TWICE JUST CHANGING LANES GOING AROUND 30 MPH! THE TWO LITTLE TIMES I KNEW TO LOWER THE RPM'S VERY QUICKLY AND OBSERVED A LOUD POP NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LET LOOSE. ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE I CAME SO CLOSE TO A CONCRETE WALL BEFORE THE STEERING CAME BACK. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 DAYS. ALL THEY SAID WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. I DUPLICATED IT THE VERY NEXT WEEK. ALONG WITH COLD WEATHER STALLING AT RED LIGHTS. I DO NOT THINK THEY LOOKED AT IT OR TOOK IT SERIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WHEN IT DID THIS IN THE MUD AND SNOW I AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS A ROCK LODGED INTO THE WHEEL BUT THEN LATER REALIZED IT FROZE UP.

REAR PINION NUT CAME LOOSE AND DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF AND TRUCK MADE ABRUPT STOP REAR END LOCKED UP

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB 4X2 WITH APPROX 81450 MILES. WHILE SERVICING REAR DIFFERENTIAL, FOUND METAL PIECES STUCK TO THE MAGNET AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUSING. NO NOTICABLE INDICATIONS OF FAILURE PRIOR TO SERVICE. VEHICLE DELIVERED TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO'S SERVICE ADVISOR EXPRESSED THEY DON'T SEE MANY OF THESE FAILURES. IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING INSPECTION OF THE DAMAGE THAT THE "C" CLIPS WHICH HOLD THE LSD IN PLACE HAD FAILED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP AFTER REPAIR THE SERVICE TICKET STATED "THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME". SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO STATED THAT THE MECHANIC THAT PERFORMED THE REPAIR HAS OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE REPAIR OF REAR DIFFERENTIALS HOWEVER, I SHOULD EXPECT TO SEE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER THE "LIMITED LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY".

ON 2/19/2015, I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT AT APPROX 40MPH WHEN LOUD BANG CAME FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK, THE TRUCK LURCHES SIDEWAYS AND PROCEEDED TO COME TO A GRINDING HALT. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE IN EITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE. I THEN HAD THE TRUCK TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER SINCE IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. UPON INSPECTION BY THE DEALERSHIP, IT SHOWED THAT THE PINION GEARS WERE DESTROYED AND ALL OF THE METAL SHAVINGS CAUSE THE REST OF THE FAILURE OF THE REAR. THE RESULT WAS THE ENTIRE REAR NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING SINCE CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED THE SAME ISSUE AND RECALL THE FOLLOWING MODEL YEAR OF MY TRUCK (2009) IF THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE REAR HAD HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN HIGHER VOLUME TRAFFIC, THE SAFETY RESULTS COULD HAVE MUCH WORSE OR DIRE. WITH 63K MILES, A FAILURE LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OF IMPENDING FAILURE, SHOULD NEVER HAD HAPPENED

HAVE ALSO BEEN ADVISED THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. AS OF THIS DATE, AUGUST 3, 2015, I STILL HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION TO RECTIFY THIS SERIOUS SITUATION....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF STATUS UPDATE. UPDATED 12/16/15.*JB

AFTER READING MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS I HAVE, I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER IF DODGE/CHRYSLER/FIAT DID THE SAME AS GM. THAT IS, INTENTIONALLY PUT CUSTOMERS IN HARMS WAY FOR PROFIT DURING THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. I HAVE A "08" 4X4 EXT. CAB TRUCK, THAT HAS A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST PUT THIS TRUCK IN "D", OR GO THROUGH THE GEARS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHEN I BUMPED IT ACCIDENTLY WITH MY KNEE. REALIZE I ONLY HAVE ONE KEY ON MY KEY RING, SO IT'S NOT A WEIGHT ISSUE SIMILAR TO GM'S IGNITION PROBLEMS. I DO HAVE A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS THAT I'M SURE WON'T BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE OR THE LOCAL DEALERS BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES AND IS A USED VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED A BOUNCE IN THE FRONT END WHEN I MAKE A SHARP TURN. YES, WITH 100,000 MILES, I PROLLY NEED NEW SHOCKS/STRUTS, BUT IT COULD VERY WELL ALSO BE A MECHANICAL/WEAR ISSUE WITH THE BALL JOINTS/TIE ROD ENDS. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED A HARD SHIFT IN THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION MY TRUCK HAS, EVEN THOUGH I'VE CHANGED OUT THE TRANSMISSION OIL TWICE SINCE OWNING THIS TRUCK. THE ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE FORD PRODUCTS I OWNED PRIOR, A RECALL WAS JUST THAT AND THEY HONORED IT EVEN IF I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER/MILEAGE ISSUE/ETC. THAT'S WHAT SAFETY RECALLS SHOULD BE ABOUT--SAFETY FIRST! THEN AGAIN, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO A MANUFACTURER LIKE DODGE?? TO THE EMPLOYEE'S THAT WANT MEGA MONIES? TO THE CORPORATE MGR'S THAT MAKE BIG BUCKS, THEY ALL HOLD THE CONSUMER AS A PRISONER PER SE BY PUTTING OUT A PRODUCT THAT DOESN'T HOLD UP AND YET WILL NOT HONOR THEIR MISTAKES BY FIXING THE PRODUCT AS NEEDED IN A TIMELY MANNER. BY THE WAY, I BABY MY VEHICLES, I'M NOT ROUGH ON THEM AT ALL. SO MILEAGE SHOULD NOT MATTER WITH REASONABLE WEAR/TEAR ON ANY VEHICLE.

2008 DODGE RAM 1500 4X2 - QUAD CAB. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. HAD FRONT END ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND TIRES WERE BALANCED AND ALIGNED CORRECTLY. TECHNICIAN AT PRIVATE SHOP INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO UNUSUAL WEAR AND TEAR NOTED IN THE BALL JOINTS EITHER. STILL DRIVING VEHICLE WITH THE SAME CONDITIONS OCCURRING. HAVE NOT NOTIFIED DEALER/MANUFACTURER YET.

INTERMITTENT RANDOM STALLING OF VEHICLE. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND AT VARIOUS SPEED. OCCURRED ONCE AFTER A SUDDEN STOP, THEN THE ENGINE STALLED. HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING CORNER AT SLOW SPEED, ENGINE STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BUT NOT ON ANY REGULAR BASIS SO THAT I COULD HAVE IT INVESTIGATED.

THE KEY EASILY DISENGAGES FROM THE "RUN" POSITION AND CUTS OFF THE ENGINE, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL. THIS CAN EVEN OCCUR IF THE KEY IS ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED BY YOUR KNEE. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE REPORTED AFFECTS OF THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000. MY 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 IS NOT LISTED IN THAT NOTICE.

STEERING BECAME VERY LOOSE AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AT 35,900. THE TRUCK FELT LIKE THE FRONT END WAS GOING TO FALL OFF AND WAS WANDERING AND BOUNCING. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER (ROYAL DODGE OWEGO, NY) FOR EVALUATION IN THE SUMMER OF 2011 AND WAS TOLD THE LEFT TIE ROD END WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I OBTAINED A QUOTE OF APPROXIMATELY $200 TO REPLACE THE LEFT FRONT TIE ROD END AND DO AN ALIGNMENT. I ENDED UP REPLACING THE TIE ROD END MYSELF ($50) AND HAVING THE TRUCK LINED UP ($80) AT MOORE'S TIRE SALES IN OWEGO, NY. UPON EVALUATION OF THE DEFECTIVE TIE ROD, I NOTICED THERE WASN'T ANY GREASE FROM THE FACTORY ON THE TIE ROD BALL ONCE I CUT THE BOOT OPEN. I ALSO ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE TIRES DUE TO THE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. I AM AWARE OF THE RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK BUT I HAVE THE EXTENDED CAB VERSION AND THE RECALL IS ONLY FOR THE MEGA CAB VERSION???? I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE EXTENDED CAB VERSION ALSO. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR FIAT CHRYSLER TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE EXPENSE? I ALSO JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT OUTER TIE ROD FOR THE SAME CONDITION AT 58,000 MILES.

I DO NOT HAVE A PARTICULAR INCIDENT TO REPORT BUT I HAVE NOTICED A POPPING NOISE WHENEVER I TURN MY WHEEL SLIGHTLY AT A SLOW SPEED AND WHEN I TRY TO MAKE TIGHT TURNS IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING COULD BE GRINDING OR SHEERING AGAINST SOME STEERING COMPONENTS. THE NOISES AND GRINDING THAT I AM HEARING SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING COULD BE BREAKING OR SHEERING OFF AND ALTHOUGH NOTHING HAS BROKEN OFF YET, I DO NOT KNOW IF THE INTEGRITY OF WHATEVER PARTS ARE BEING EFFECTED ARE BECOMING WEAKER EACH TIME I HAVE THIS ISSUE SO I AM CONCERNED.

WHEN I GOT HOME I REMOVED THE FRONT TIRES AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING HAD SEPARATED AND ALMOST TOTALLY CAME APART.

I HAD GOTTEN NEW TIRES ON MY TRUCK AND AN ALIGNMENT DONE ON THE TRUCK AND WAS TOLD MY POWER ASSIST RACK AND PINION WAS FAILING AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE AREALLY VERY MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE MOPAR PART FAILING WHILE DRIVING OR BEING TOLD THEY NEED TO REPLACE IT. WITH SO MA YOU COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT ON THE 2008 MODELS ALONE, THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR THE DEATH OF A PERSON. SEVERAL HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THIS PART HAS FAILED AT MILEAGES DOWN TO 45,000 MILES. IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS MAY BE A FAULTY PART.

AFTER FILLING WITH GAS, TRUCK STALLS AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS....VEHICLE DIES HENCE NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES ETC.......HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES..... CAN THROW INTO NEUTRAL AND IGNITION FUNCTIONS....SUPER DANGEROUS AT ANY SPEED.

WHILE FUELING TRUCK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL FLIES BACK OUT OF THE FILL NECK. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP AND DODGE KNOWS ABOUT IT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I SEE ON HERE. THANK YOU IF YOU CAN HELP GET THIS FIXED FOR ME. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND WITHIN A WEEK THE KEY WOULDN'T GO INTO THE IGNITION AND ONCE IN WOULDN'T COME BACK OUT. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY LOCKING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL NOW DOESN'T GO OFF AND WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT OFF MY SELF THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ACTIVATES! THIS WENT ON BACK AND FORTH A GOOD EIGHT TIMES BEFORE BOTH SHUT OFF. MY FRONT HEADLIGHTS (MOSTLY RIGHT BUT CANNOT REALLY SEE THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING) THE LIGHTS SHAKES AND BOUNCES WHEN I GO OVER ANYTHING UNEVEN. UPON COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP THE TRUCK PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO THE GRASS. THIS VEHICLE JUST DOESN'T DRIVE RIGHT. THE WHOLE FRONT END SEEMS LOOSE. I CANNOT DRIVE OVER 50 OR THE REAR END COMES OFF THE GROUND WHEN I BRAKE TO MAKE MY TURN. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THIS EVENING. MY DEALER 30 DAY WARRANTY EXPIRES TOMORROW. THE 3 YEAR 36000 MANUFACTURER WARRANTY IS UP SINCE THREE YEARS ARE GONE - ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 31864 MILES NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE REPAIRS WHILE STILL FINANCED. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF FOUR AND ALWAYS HAVE MY FOUR YEAR OLD IN THE TRUCK. IT'S TO THE POINT I NO LONGER TRUST DRIVING THIS TRUCK. *TR

VEHICLE DODGE RAM 1500 LARAMIE CREW CAB AT APPROXIMATELY, 10:30 PM EDT, WHILE DRIVE AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WITH LIMITED TRAFFIC BUT A CAR IMMEDIATELY BEHIND MY IN THE RIGHT LANE, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS ACCOMPANIED BY WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN (AGES 11,15). REAR OF VEHICLE WAS LIFTED OFF THE GROUND FOLLOWED BY A STRONG PULL INTO THE RIGHT LANE. OTHER CAR SLOWED AND SWERVED TO AVOID MY VEHICLE. ANY ACCELERATION WAS NOT POSSIBLE. ATTEMPTED TO SAFELY DECELERATE THE VEHICLE. BRAKES WERE NOT PERFORMING AS TYPICALLY EXPECTED. A FEW MORE LOAD THUMPS (2-3) OCCURRED. LOOKED OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR AND SAW SPARKS FLYING BEHIND VEHICLE. DIDN'T REALIZE IT AT THE TIME BUT THE DRIVE SHAFT COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED WITH MY VEHICLE AND WAS SENT BOUNCING THROUGH TRAFFIC. APPROXIMATELY, 3-5 CARS INITIALLY AVOIDED IT. SAFELY FOUND A WIDE SHOULDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE WHILE COASTING. LOUD BANG OCCURRED AS VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOPPED. I CHECKED ALL 4 TIRES BECAUSE INITIAL THOUGHT WAS A TIRE BLEW OUT. ALL TIRES WERE INTACT. IMMEDIATELY CALLED AAA FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE REPORTING ENGINE ISSUE. NOTICED STRONG SMELL OF AUTOMOTIVE OILS/GREASE. LOOKED UNDER CAR AND SAW A "THREADED STEM" STICKING OUT OF REAR AXLE WITHOUT ANY THING ATTACHED. NOTICED DRIVE SHAFT WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE. TOOK PICTURES OF THE AREA AND WAITED FOR AAA. I DID ATTEMPT TO WALK BACK A LITTLE WAYS TO SEE IF I COULD LOCATE THE DETACHED DRIVE SHAFT BUT I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN FINDING IT. *TR

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

PINION NUT CAME OFF, CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE AND NEAR COLLISION, I SENT THE LETTER BELOW TO CHRYSLER, WITH NO RESPONSE. OCTOBER 12, 2013 CHRYSLER CORPORATION: I HAVE OWNED 5 DODGE RAMS, A 95,98,99,2006,2008; THE 2008 WAS SOLD TO ME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY... UNTIL I NEEDED IT. AFTER 5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP (CHRYSLER SERVICE NOW TELLS ME THAT I WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED WITHIN A 30 DAY WINDOW OF ITS 5TH BIRTHDAY TO PRESERVE THE WARRANTY. WHO KNEW THIS? LIFETIME MEANS LIFE-TIME, RIGHT? MY DIFFERENTIAL JUST SUFFERED FROM A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHEN THE PINION NUT BACKED OFF AND THE PINION GEAR WAS PINCHED BETWEEN THE HOUSING AND THE RING GEAR AT 60 MPH, BLOWING OUT THE CAST IRON HOUSING, THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT AND I NEARLY COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. BENNY BOYD OF LAMPASAS TEXAS HAD REBUILT THE DIFFERENTIAL A YEAR PRIOR TO THE 5 YEAR MARKER, IT IS MY ASSERTION THAT HAD THE WORK BEEN DONE PROPERLY THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. ALL OF THE DODGE RAM DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA CLAIM THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE WARRANTY I HAVE BRAGGED ABOUT, AND COUNTED ON, AND WILL NOT REPAIR IT. I AM SCREWED!! I WAS QUOTED $4,000.00 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR AT CECIL ATKINS IN BURNET TEXAS. FRIDAY OCT 11TH I NEEDED THE WARRANTY THAT CAME WITH MY TRUCK, BUT IT WAS NOT THERE. THE SERVICE PEOPLE SEEMED AFRAID TO EVEN TELL ME, THEY TOO SEEMED ASHAMED OF THIS LOOPHOLE. SHAME ON CHRYSLER. AFTER THE LOYALTY I HAVE SHOWN YOU FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS, ALL THE PRAISE FOR YOUR PRODUCTS, AND WORD OF MOUTH ADVERTISING I HAVE GIVEN YOU, I EXPECT TO BE TREATED BETTER THAN THIS, WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR ME BEFORE I LOSE FAITH IN YOU?

I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH IN THE CENTER LANE OF VERY HEAVY FREEWAY TRAFFIC WHEN MY TRUCKS 4-WHEEL LOW LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED TO FLASH AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER, MY TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND MADE A LOUD CRUNCHING GRINDING NOISE AND WITHIN SECONDS MY TRUCK HAD SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH. I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW IN A PANICKED STATE OF MIND NOT KNOWING WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED, I SOMEHOW WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, GOT MY TRUCK ACROSS THE LANES OFF TRAFFIC AND OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. MY TRUCK WAS NOW STUCK IN 4 WHEEL LOW. I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND 10 MILES HOME WITH THE TRUCK IN THIS CONDITION, DRIVING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH MY FLASHERS ON. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO MY DODGE DEALER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE TRUCK MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING IT TO SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL LOW. NUMEROUS TRIPS BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN, HAS MADE ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ABOUT DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON THE FREEWAY. TWO YEARS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. CHRYSLER SPECIALISTS SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. BESIDES BEING A HAZARD TO DRIVE IT IS COSTING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND THEY NEVER FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A WARRANTY ISSUE THAT THEY ARE REFUSING TO HONOR. THE COMPONENT THAT FAILED IS THE DRIVE TRAIN, THE TRANSFER CASE TO BE EXACT.

THE TRUCK BEGAN STALLING WHILE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. IT IS NOW HAPPENING WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK. THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE TRUCK ALWAYS RE-STARTS RIGHT AWAY.

I AM CONCERNED WITH THE REAR PINION RETAINING NUT PROBLEM I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD ABOUT ON THESE VEHICLES. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE AN EXPANDED RECALL AS I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAVE MY REAR DIFF LOCK UP OR EXPLODE INTERNALLY IF ITS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED. *TR

TRUCK HAS HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING OR NOTICE. I COME TO A STOP OR TURN AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. POWER STEERING IS LOST AND EVEN THOUGH IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP WHEN PUT ON NEUTRAL IT HAS STARTED TO WORRY ME TO THE POINT WHERE I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR THIS MAY HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD THROTTLE WORK DONE AND WIRES REPLACED BUT IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING AND NO CODES APPEAR AS TO WHAT MAY BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO CANNOT TELL ME THE REASON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF TRAFFIC AT 70 MPH WHEN MY 4WL LITE FLASHED,I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND MY TRUCK JERKED VIOLENTLY, I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN TO 30MPH RIGHT AFTER THE LOUD NOISE. I THEN HAD TO GET ACROSS TWO LANES OF SPEEDING FREEWAY TRAFFIC TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. AFTER I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND CALMED MY NERVES, I DID DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND DISCOVERED THAT MY TRUCK HAD SHIFTED ITSELF INTO FOUR WHEEL LOW AT 70 MPH. I LIMPED MY TRUCK HOME, STUCK IN FOUR WHEEL LOW, CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND TOOK IT TO MY DODGE DEALER. ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER AND NUMEROUS TRIPS BACK TO VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS TO GET THIS WARRANTY WORK FIXED, AND OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED AND CHRYSLER CONSIDERS THE CASE CLOSED. I'M AFRAID NOW AFTER THIS INCIDENT TO TAKE MY TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY AS I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT LOOSENED ITSELF OFF CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO DROP. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A LOUD BOOM AND LOOSE CONTROL WHILE ON THE FREEWAY LUCKILY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEAR MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME. CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009-2012 RAM 1500 TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 27, 2008, THROUGH JUNE 30, 2009, AND FROM DECEMBER 1, 2009, THROUGH OCTOBER 20, 2011.

WHEN TRYING TO FUEL MY VEHICLE AT GAS PUMP, GAS BEGAN SPEWING AND GURGLING FROM THE TANK. I COULD GET NO MORE THAN AROUND A GALLON IN THE TANK WITHOUT IT SPEWING GAS BACK OUT ALL OVER MY TRUCK AND THE GROUND. I TRIED PUMPING SLOWER, PULLING NOZZLE IN AND OUT OF TANK, AND WAITING A WHILE. I HAD NO LUCK. I SUBSEQUENTLY TRIED AGAIN TWO MORE TIMES A WEEK APART AND STILL CAN'T GET GASOLINE INTO MY VEHICLE WITHOUT IT SPEWING OUT. UPON REVIEWING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I FOUND A TERM USED FOR THIS PROBLEM. "SPITBACK." I ALSO FOUND THAT MANY CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT IF IT'S A CERTAIN ISSUE, THE ENTIRE TANK MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR A SIMPLE LITTLE VALVE WHICH IS INACCESSIBLE OTHERWISE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 70 M.P.H. THE REAR END MADE A LOUD NOISE AND WITHOUT WARNING SEIZED UP AND STARTED GRINDING EXTREMELY LOUD CAUSING MY REAR END TO LOCK UP AT 70 M.P.H. ALMOST CAUSING A PILE UP. I AVOIDED A COLLISION BY PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR ALLOWING ME TO CHANGE LANES AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY TO THE FIRST PARKING LOT I COULD FIND RIGHT AT THE EXIT. WHEN I DROVE INTO THE PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE HAD A STRONG ODOR OF HOT OIL AND WOULD NOT MOVE BECAUSE THE REAR END WAS DESTROYED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE DODGE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 2008 YEAR TRUCKS HAVING A REAR END FAILURE SINCE THEY HAVE RECALLS ON EVERY YEAR TRUCK EXCEPT 2008. NOW SINCE NONE OF THIS WILL BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR DEALER I AM LEFT REPLACING THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK WITH ONE FROM A JUNKYARD AND I AM OUT ALMOST THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, A GRINDING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT UNKNOWN FLUIDS WERE LEAKING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS DIFFERENTIAL OIL IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR END AND DRIVESHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

VEHICLE BOUGHT NEW IN 2008. IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, HAD TO: REPLACE BOTH BRAKE CALIPERS DUE TO DRAGGING AND OVERHEATING. REPLACE LF WHEEL BEARING HUB ASSEMBLY - MAKING NOISE - FOUND TO HAVE WORN BEARING, WIPER MOTOR REPLACED FOR RECALL, NEVER HAD ISSUE. NOW IT DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, IMPROPER CYCLING SPEEDS, WON'T TURN ON, OR WON'T TURN OFF AT TIMES. MILEAGE ~ 38,000. THIS IS DANGEROUS, JUST LIKE THE BRAKES AND BEARING. *TR

I HAD BAD VIBRATION START IN THE REAR END A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE. WENT TO TIRE SHOP THINKING IT WAS A TIRE OUT OF BALANCE. ONE WAS, YET VIBRATION STILL THERE. LEFT TIRE SHOP TO TAKE TO MECHANIC, AS I GO TO LEAVE PARKING LOT I ACCELERATE AND A BIG BOOM,THEN NOTHING. THE YOKE ON REAR END IS STILL CONNECTED TO DRIVESHAFT YET IT'S DANGLING OUT THE FRONT OF AXLE AT ANGLE. UPON HAVING TOW TRUCK BRING THE TRUCK HOME, I PULLED THE COVER OFF REAR AXLE TO FIND THE NUT HAD BACKED OFF THE PINION SHAFT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, EVERYTHING I'VE RESEARCHED SHOWS 2009 MODELS MFG FEB 27 2008 THRU WHENEVER ARE COVERED, YET MY 2008 MFG MARCH OF 2008 ISN'T. I DISABLED AND LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME. I CANNOT AFFORD $800 OR MORE TO FIX. *TR

ON 6 NOV. I FILED THIS COMPLAINT (CASE #[XXX]) AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. ON 12 NOV., THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AGAIN DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN I HAD TO AGGRESSIVELY APPLY THE BRAKES FOR A CHANGING STOP LIGHT. IT'S IRONIC THAT I WAS ON MY WAY TO COURT FOR THE "FAILURE TO CONTROL SPEED" TICKET THAT I RECEIVED FOR THE ACCIDENT ON 6 NOV. AS I STATED BEFORE, THE INVESTIGATOR THAT CHRYSLER SENT TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. SINCE MY BRAKES STILL DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IN A PANIC STOP AND THE INVESTIGATOR WAS 3 HOURS LATE, I QUESTION THE QUALITY OF HIS INSPECTION? YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING A SUDDEN STOP FOR STOPPED TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME, THE BRAKES GOT FIRM AND THEN SOFT, NOT ALLOWING ME TO SLOW DOWN AND MISS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I BELIEVE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER (CASE # [XXX]) ABOUT THIS AND THEY PERFORMED STATIC INSPECTION AND FOUND NO DEFECTS. THE INSPECTION APPARENTLY DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE ACTUAL STOPPING CONDITIONS. THE ROAD WAS ASPHALT, AND THE WEATHER WAS APPROXIMATELY 80 DEGREES AND DRY. THE TIRES ARE FACTORY SIZE (275-60-R20) WITH 7/32 TREAD AND FAIRLY EVEN TREAD WEAR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED ON, AIR WILL ONLY COME OUT THE AIR CONDITIONING VENT. THE DEFROSTERS HAVE NO HOT AIR COMING OUT. THIS IS AN SAFETY HAZARD SINCE WINDOWS CANNOT BE DEFROSTED. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY OTHER RAM OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL (K-17) FOR SOME 2009 AND 2010 MODELS. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE OPENED UP TO ALL MODELS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TO HAVE THE AIR BAG LIGHT THAT WAS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER THE DIAGNOSES WAS DONE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS BROKEN. I ASKED WHAT THIS SPRING CONTROLLED AND WAS INFORMED OF A VARIETY OF THINGS INCLUDING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I ASKED IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY IF I WAS TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND WAS TOLD NO THEY WOULDN'T. SO I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A COST OF ALMOST $400.00. AFTER TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE I FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A VARIETY OF VEHICLES. I THINKING THAT THERE SHOULD BE A LOOK INTO THESE CLOCK SPRINGS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ITEM THAT FAILS. *TR

BACK IN APPROXIMATELY OCTOBER OF 2010 MY DAUGHTER (18 YEARS OLD) WAS DRIVING MY 2008 RAM 1500 PICKUP , WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. SHE WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND PROCEED ON HER WAY . THIS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES UNTIL SHE TOLD ME ABOUT IT . I NOTICED SHE HAD A SMALL PURSE TYPE DEVICE THAT HOLDS HER LICENSE, CREDIT CARDS & CHANGE ATTACHED TO THE KEY FOB. I BELIEVE THE WEIGHT OF THIS PURSE CAUSED THE PURSE TO SHUT THE IGNITION OFF. I INSTRUCTED HER NOT TO PUT ANYTHING ON THE KEY FOB AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED. YOU MAY WANT TO SEE IF THERE ARE THE SAME COMPLAINTS BY OTHER RAM OWNERS AND HAVE CHRYSLER SEND A MAILER OUT NOT TO HAVE ANYTHING ATTACHED TO THEIR KEY FOBS. *TR

NO HEAT IN FLOOR

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 4 KIDS IN THE TRUCK . PROBLEM STARTED WITH MY SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH THEN SUDDENLY FELL TO 0 AND STAYED THERE. I THEN STARTED TO SMELL A FOUL SMELL RESEMBLING NATURAL GAS. MY ABS LIGHT, E BRAKE LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK NEAREST EXIT AND PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. TURNED TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON AND ALL LIGHTS WENT AWAY BUT SPEEDO STILL NOT WORKING. CONTINUED DRIVING TO GET IT HOME THEN THE TRUCK STARTED SURGING WHEN I WOULD LET OFF THE GAS BUT WOULD GO AWAY WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS. DECIDED I NEEDED TO PULL OVER AGAIN. I PROCEEDED TO THE TURNING LANE GOING 35PMH WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE REAR END LOCKED UP AND STARTED FISHTAILING AND SPINNING TILL IT CAME TO A STOP. LUCKILY CARS AROUND ME SWERVED AROUND ME TO PREVENT FROM GETTING HIT. REAR AXLE IS LEAKING FLUID AND REALLY BAD SMELL. HAD TO GET A FLAT BED TO PULL IT ON AND OFF AND UNLOADED AT MY HOUSE. THANKFULLY MYSELF AND MY KIDS ARE SAFE. UNFORTUNATELY MY 2008 RAM 1500 QUAD CAB DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE 2009-2012 RECALL WITH THE SAME PINION RETAINING NUT BACKING OUT DUE TO NO LOCTITE "ADHESIVE" CAUSING IT TO LOCK UP. ALL I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER WAS TO SAVE ANY REPAIR RECEIPTS IN THE EVENT THE RECALL GETS EXPANDED. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER WANTS ME TO TOW MY TRUCK AND CHARGE ME $101.89 JUST TO DIAGNOSE IT JUST TO TELL ME IT'S THE REAR PINION LOCKING NUT :/ BUT THEY WERE SURE TO LET ME KNOW OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR THAT WAS UNDER RECALL THAT I SHOULD GET FIXED....I THINK THIS IS A BIT MORE IMPORTANT THAN A WIPER MOTOR. NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 13V038000/EXPANSION RECALL # 12V-474/CHRYSLER CAMPAIGN N08 STATES DODGE RAMS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN FEBRUARY 2008 TO JUNE 2009 FELL UNDER THE RECALL THOUGH MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED JULY 2008 YET IT DOESN'T APPLY????! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V529000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I95, AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OR ONLY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT WAS SHAKING SO MUCH THAT THE CARS AROUND ME COULD SEE THAT IT WAS HAPPENING. THERE IS A VERY GOOD POTENTIAL THAT IF I HAD NOT HAD A GOOD CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL THAT I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL. *TR
