2005 DODGE RAM 1500 Power Train Problems

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 MPH, there were abnormal sounds coming from the rear end of the vehicle, and the driveshaft intermittently locked. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the residence. The contact was concerned that the vehicle was unsafe to drive to a dealer because there was no local dealer. A dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V796000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I took my vehicle in for the recall on Sept 22,2025 and on Friday my rear end went out on my way home from work. On my recall receipt it's states they replaced the pinion nut, but after dropping my driveshaft I noticed the pinion nut was never replaced. I have spoke to the service manager 1 time and now he won't return my phone calls .

[XXX] was on my way home noticed rear differential making a noise slowed down to 20-30 mph to prepare to pull of the hwy rear differential locked up pinion nut came loose and driveshaft fell out had it towed home called had an appointment set up at Steve jones in Dickson Tennessee to have the recall fixed. 1 1/2 month later dealership calls and advise me to call customer care because they couldn’t get the parts to fix the vehicle I called customer care they told me I would have to supply the 2 parts to fix the vehicle because they were discontinued I confirmed with the dealership they confirmed said if I supplied the parts they would fix the vehicle I ordered the parts took to dealership then was told the manager over corporate said to not fix the vehicle now dealership says corporate is going to to do a buy out and crush the vehicle I explained to them that is not acceptable it has been almost 5 months with no resolution and vehicle still setting at the dealership is there anything that could be done to get these recalls fixed INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Rear differential locked up while driving at approximately 30 mph, causing the vehicle to come to a stop and unable to move. Luckily the failure happened on a road with little traffic so no accident occurred and other drivers were not put at risk. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to failure. Inspection revealed broken gears and pins in the rear differential. There was a recall (P77) for this model year truck for what appears to be the same problem. The recall repair work was performed in 2019 and the truck has been driven approximately 20,000 miles since the repair. The FCA recall line told me to have the truck towed to a dealer to get a diagnosis and repair estimate, but after the tow was complete the recall line said since more than 2 years had passed since the recall repair work, the repair warranty had expired and nothing would be covered, regardless of diagnosis. The broken parts are still available for review if needed.

Vehicle brought in for recall repairs on March 18, 2024. Recalls R25 and N43 were completed. Recall P77 failed inspection. Dealer parts not available. Was asked by service advisor if ok to use aftermarket parts. I agreed. Service advisor needed approval from district rep before continuing. I was then told by service advisor that vehicle was safe to drive as long as I drove it easy. His comment, “Its lasted this long, you will be ok. Just dont pull any trailers.” Was asked to wait a week for district rep to return from vacation. I took the truck home and did not drive it after reading the P77 recall info. The truck is not safe to drive with a loose rear axle pinion nut. I returned the truck on 4/8/2024 for repairs to be completed. The dealer will not communicate with me unless I initiate communication. There is no information on parts being ordered or work being scheduled. It is now 4/29/2024 and no action from the dealer. I have asked to speak with the Service Manager and no reply.

I visited my local Dodge dealership for airbag recalls for my 2005 Dodge Ram in December 2022. In October 2023 I noticed a leak in the rear differential. When looking into the recalls for my Vin the differential pin was mentioned on there but never to me as I thought it was just the airbags. The part has been fixed by a mechanic shop (I paid for) but, did dodge complete the inspection or just checked complete to include airbags recall (complete)?

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 16V352000 (Air Bag), 15V313000 (Air Bags), and 14V796000 (Power Train) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect

Had taken my vehicle in for the recall they said it was fine , after wards two months later my front right break locked up. But now my rear end that was supposed to been fixed from recall vut now it is making loud noise

I was driving on a highway when all of a sudden I heard what I thought to be a blow out (tire) ,as I pulled over on shoulder with difficulty I looked in mirror and saw a part has fallen off, later retrieved with tow truck driver, part being a driveshaft. Rear end had seized as I maneuvered my veh. As far on shoulder as possible, I feel fortunate for outcome of incident. I had gotten a tow to my resident now not sure what my next step is to do, any advise would be helpful. Thank you

Rear differential failure. Right rear drive shaft gets loose and makes continual noise.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HAD HIT ME FROM THE BACK. WHEN I GOT OFF TO LOOK I SAW THAT NO ONE HAD CRASHED INTO ME. A BYSTANDER SAYS THAT MY DRIVE SHAFT IS ON THE FLOOR. HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE HOME. WENT TO A DODGE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. HE SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 5 YEARS AGO. THE PROBLEM WAS PREVIOUSLY FIXED. THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I LOOKED UP SOME INFORMATION AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN TO OTHER DRIVERS. ALL OWNERS STATED THAT ISSUES WERE NEVER RESOLVED. MY DAD OWNS A 1999 DODGE 1500 AND THE DRIVE SHAFT HAS NEVER FALLEN OFF.

THE VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL WHEN STOPPING OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT CAN BE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. IT WILL ALSO INTERMITTENTLY FLASH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CHIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASED IN 2008. IT HAPPENS WITH COLD OR WARM ENGINE. IT MAY HAPPEN ONCE A WEEK, ONCE A MONTH, OR SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE DAY. USUALLY MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 65 DEGREES. THERE ARE NO CODES STORED AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED (OTHER THAN THE INTERMITTENT LIGHT & CHIME).. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO TSB'S COVERING MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION.

TAKATA RECALL & REAR DIFFERENTIAL PINION NUT I HAVE RECEIVED TWO RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS VEHICLE.

I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, AND ASKED THEM TO AUTHORIZE A LOCAL NON-DODGE DEALER OR REPAIR SHOP TO DO THE WORK. THEY REFUSED, SAYING I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF AND THEN SEEK REIMBURSEMENT.

I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK DUE TO THIS ISSUE, I HAVE ALSO CONSIDERED WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN MY TRUCK IS CATAPULTED FROM THIS ISSUE, HOPING THAT MY FAMILY WILL BE ABLE TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER/DODGE FOR IGNORING MINE COMPLAINTS AND REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, ONCE I AM KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT FROM THIS RECALL ISSUE. I AM VERY UPSET THAT I AM NOT GETTING ANY HELP FROM DODGE FOR THIS ISSUE. I KNOW I'M JUST THE LITTLE ONE WHO BOUGHT YOUR PRODUCT, AND CARE NONE ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY, HOWEVER, YOU CAN AND WILL BE SUED IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS RECALL ISSUE, (MY REAR AXLE LOCKING UP THEREFORE LOCKING UP MY REAR WHEELS). EVERYTIME I TRY TO MOVE MY VEHICLE, I HEAR A LOUD "BOOM" IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND MY REAR WHEELS LOCK UP AND VEHICLE WON'T MOVE. I WILL HEAR A LOUD "BOOM" IN THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK DUE TO THIS RECALL ISSUE, AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY WHEELS CONTINOUSLY SEIZE UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH, THANK GOD I HAVE NOT YET BEEN CATAPULTED, I FEAR THOUGH THAT IT WILL HAPPEN VERY SOON.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AT 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING, I HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE AT THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK. THE BACK END OF MY TRUCK WAS BEING THROWN AROUND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE NTROL OF THE VEHICLE NEARLY CAUSING A BAD ACCIDENT. I PULLED OVER ON THE LEFT SHOULDER AND THE TRUCK CAME TO A SCREECHING STOP. I WAS PRETTY SHAKEN UP. I GOT OUT AND AT FIRST THOUGHT I BLEW A TIRE. THEN LOOKED AND THE TIRES WERE FINE ,SO THEN I LOOKED UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK AND SAW THE DRIVES HAFT CAME OUT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I WAS NOT IN A SAFE PLACE ON THE LEFT SHOULDER, AS ITS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK COULDN'T TOW AS THE REAR END WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL TOW TRUCK SHOWED UP, AND AN OFFICER HAD TO SHUT DOWN A CROWDED FREEWAY TO GET ME AND MY TRUCK OFF THE FREEWAY SAFELY. LATER IN THE DAY I RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL ON THE 2005 RAM 1500. I CONTACTED THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND HE WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS PARTICULAR RECALL. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING DODGE TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING SAFE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND POSSIBLY HURT OTHERS. THESE TRUCKS ARE NOT SAFE UNLESS THIS ISSUE IS FIXED. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, SO IF YOU OWN ONE, GET IT TAKEN CARE OF RIGHT AWAY!!!

MY TRUCK HAS THE P77NHTSA 14V-796 RECALL NOTICE (REAR AXLE PINION NUT). I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHEN I RECEIVED THE 1ST NOTICE (NEARLY 2 YEARS AGO) AND WAS TOLD THE PART REQUIRED WAS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE BUT I WOULD BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST AND BE CONTACTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AGAIN EACH TIME I HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE FOR THIS SAME RECALL AND EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SAME RESPONSE THAT THE PART IS STILL UNAVAILABLE. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW A POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS REAR AXLE PINION NUT FAILING CANNOT BE ADDRESSED IN 2 YEARS TIME. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS CHRYSLER'S LACK OF CONCERN OR MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD AGAIN THIS MORNING THAT THE PART WOULD BE ORDERED SPECIFICALLY FOR ME BUT THAT IT WAS STILL NATIONALLY UNAVAILABLE. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE IF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME OR MY FAMILY OCCURS DUE TO THIS LACK OF RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER? ANY HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

MY TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AGGRESSIVELY 3-4 YEAR AGO AT SPEEDS AROUND 50 MPH AND OVER , I TRIED NEW TIRES AND THAT DID NOT WORK. AFTER RECEIVING MY SECOND RECALL I TOOK MY TRUCK TO BILL STANFORD DODGE-CHRYSLER HERE IN TALLADEGA AL TO HAVE IT FIXED WITH THE RECALL. THEY ADMITTED THE PINION NUT WAS LOOSE AND THEY SAID THEY TIGHTENED IT AND THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES ON THE REAR AND THAT SHOULD FIX IT , THE TIRE DEALER SAID I DID NOT NEED NEW REAR TIRES THAT I SHOULD HAVE SEVERAL YEARS LEFT ON THEM BUT I TOLD HIM WHAT BILL STANFORD SAID SO HE PUT NEW TIRES ON THE BACK BUT THAT HAD NO AFFECT ON THE VIBRATING AND SHAKING OF THE TRUCK. NOW I RECEIVE ANOTHER RECALL STATING " THE LACK OF THIS ADHESIVE PATCH COULD ALLOW THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT TO LOOSEN AND/OR THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE REAR AXLE , GOING ON TO STATE THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING OR THE REAL AXLE TO SEIZE AND SEPARATE THE DRIVE SHAFT CAUSING A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. I HAVE A GOOD TRUCK EXCEPT FOR THE REAR END WHICH SHAKES AND VIBRATES AGGRESSIVELY BUT I CAN GET NO HELP FROM THE LOCAL DEALER HERE IN TALLADEGA AL. ALL I AM ASKING IS THAT THEY FIX IT TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE AND LIVE UP TO THE SAFETY RECALL. I CAN NOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE AND DO NOT WANT TO SUE OR SEEK PUNITIVE DAMAGES , I WOULD JUST LIKE MY TRUCK TO BE FIXED IN AN HONEST FASHION. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP . *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" I WENT TO TOM O'BRIAN CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BACK IN JULY 2015, ABOUT THIS RECALL, AND I HAVE FOLLOWED UP 3 TIMES TO FIND OUT WHEN I CAN BRING MY TRUCK IN TO DO BOTH RECALLS ON THIS. THEY ORDERED THE PARTS FOR BOTH RECALLS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEIR OLY CAN DO 2 TRUCKS A MONTH BECAUSE THE WAY THEIR RECALL WORKS THEY BRING A TRUCK IN , DO THE RECALL WORK AND THEN THEY SEND THE PART BACK AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT REPLACEMENT PART TO COME IN. IF THIS IS THE REAL CASE, IT WILL BE SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE I CAN GET MY TRUCK WORKED ON. SO IF THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL THEY SHOULD BE DOING A LOT MORE TRUCKS THEY 2 A MONTH. I WANT TO KEEP MY TRUCK BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A ACCIDENT . I THINK IF I HAVE TO WAIT LONGER, CHRYSLER SHOULD PROVIDED ME WITH A VEHICLE TIL MY TRUCK GETS FIXED.

I SUSPECT OTHER TRUCK OWNERS THOUGHT ALL THEY NEEDED WAS TO REPLACE THE VALVE COVER AND THAT SHOULD FIX THEIR PROBLEM. I ALSO SUSPECT THE FLAW IN THE HEADER CAST IS THE PROBLEM AND IS CAUSING A CHAIN REACTION TO OCCUR WHEN PARTS OF THE CASTING BREAK OFF, HIT THE VALVE COVER, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE TRUCK TO OVERHEAT, AND RESULT IN DAMAGE TO CYLINDER HEAD, RINGS, AND HEADER, ALL BECAUSE THE HEAD CASTING WAS MOLDED WITH AN INHERITED FLAW. NOTHING MAKE SENSE AS TO WHY TRUCK HAD PROBLEM WITH HEADER, EXCEPT BAD CAST FOR HEADER. I HOPE YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MATTER. I PUT LESS THAN 15,000 MILES PER YEAR ON THIS TRUCK, AND I SHOULD BE ENJOYING THIS TRUCK FOR TROUBLE FREE. WITH DODGE HISTORY OF FAILURE TO NOTIFY VEHICLE OWNER ABOUT INHERITED PROBLEMS WITH PAST, I DO NOT EXPECT DODGE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED.

I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN AND FOUND THEM VERY UNWILLING TO LISTEN AND ACCUSATORY THAT I HAD DONE SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THEY HAD PUT THE WRONG DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IN THE REAR END. UPON COMPLETION, THE TRUCK PERFORMED NORMALLY. UPDATED 10/13/15*JB

I HAVE BEEN TOLD I HAVE TO HAVE A NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER/DODGE TO HAVE THEM JUST TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, MUCH LESS FIX THE PROBLEMS. NOW THERE IS A HUGE RECALL; THIS IS NOW REALLY GOTTEN SERIOUS. PLEASE HELP ME AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO TAKE CARE OF THE MALFUNCTIONS ON MY DODGE RAM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE DODGE ON LONG DISTANCE ROAD TRIPS FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. THE FAILED COMPONENTS LISTED BELOW DO NOT SHOW ALL THE MALFUNCTIONS I HAVE LISTED ABOVE.

CHRYSLER CREATED A CASE # 26914713 AND NANCY (BADGE NG787) TOOK MY REPORT. I PAID TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM CHRYSLER ON THIS CASE NUMBER OR ANY REMEDY THEY PALN. PLEASE ADVISE, AS I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

CONTACT OWNS A 2005 RAM 1500 SLT 4.7L. CONTACT STATES THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY. TRUCK WILL DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR MANEUVERING AT LOW SPEEDS. TRUCK HAS HAD ONE RANDOM INCIDENT OF OVER HEATING AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT TRUCK OFF TO COOL DOWN. RESTARTED JUST FINE! PLASTIC SEAT BELT BUCKLES HAVE BROKEN AND SEAT BELTS DON'T RETRACT FULLY. THEN AROUND APRIL 2014 STARTED HEARING A WHINING GRINDING,HOWLING NOISE THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES OR THE ROAD. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE SO CALLED A REPAIR SHOP TOOK IT IN. HAD IT LOOKED AT. THE REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED IT TO BE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PINION NUT BACKING OFF. REPAIR SHOP SAID THE TRUCK NEEDS THE DIFFERENTIAL REPAIRED OR REPLACED. A SHORT TIME LATER, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AROUND FEBRUARY ON THE TRUCK FOR P77 & P81. HAVE CONTACTED DEALER VIA PHONE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. DEALER SAYS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME, AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 3 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND/OR OTHER'S SAFETY.*(SINCE THE PROBLEM IS, THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT ON YOUR TRUCK MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITHOUT AN ADHESIVE PATCH ON THE PINION NUT THREADS. THE LACK OF THIS ADHESIVE PATCH COULD ALLOW THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT TO LOOSEN AND/OR THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE REAR AXLE. A LOOSE PINION NUT COULD CAUSE THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE AND A SEPARATED DRIVE SHAFT COULD CAUSE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. EITHER SITUATION COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITH OUT WARNING! AND THE AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE WITH METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS).DEALERSHIP SAYS SHOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE.!! I DON'T SEE HOW DODGE CHRYSLER! CAN KEEP PRODUCTION/SALES OF THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES. WHEN SO MANY VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION OF THIS MATTER. *TR UPDATED 06/29/15.*JB

MY TRUCK WAS SUBJECTED TO RECALL P77 WHICH IS THE PINION NUT RECALL. I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE APPROXIMATELY A WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY (SPEED LIMIT IS 70MPH) TRAVELED ABOUT 5 MILES WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF THE TRUCK. I PROCEEDED TO GO AND TRAVELED ABOUT 1/2 MILE AT 25MPH WHEN THE PINION NUT CAME LOOSE CAUSING THE REAR END TO LOCK UP AND FISH TAIL. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS INJURED BUT SCARY NON THE LESS. IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! CHRYSLER PAID FOR ALL OF THE NECESSARY REPAIRS WHICH INCLUDED A COMPLETE HOUSING AND COMPLETE CARRIER INCLUDING RING AND PINION. WHAT CHRYSLER DIDN'T PAY FOR WAS A RENTAL CAR. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED ON MY OWN, BUT I DIDN'T. THERE WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE DO TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RENTAL AS WELL. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO RECALL # P77/NHTSA 14V-796. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR A REMEDY FOR THIS SEVERE DANGEROUS CONDITION AND THEY SAY THAT PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 5-6 MONTHS. SINCE THIS CONDITION IS REPORTED THAT IT COULD CAUSE A SUDDEN AND SEVERE CRASH AND VIRTUALLY MAKES THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE WAITING 5-6 MONTHS FOR A FIX IS VERY UNREASONABLE. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TOW A CAMPER TRAILER WITH CHILDREN MAKING THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN DISASSEMBLE THE POTENTIAL FAULTY PARTS AND DETERMINE IF THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS. I BELIEVE DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM AND THE LENGTH OF TIME THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO RESPOND THAT THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO TAKE INTERMEDIARY SAFETY STEPS. *JS

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A POSSIBLE DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DODGE DEALER IN VICKSBURG MICHIGAN. THE TRUCK DEVELOPED A VIBRATION DAYS BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT, SO I PARKED IT FOR TWO DAYS. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP APPOINTMENT, THE VIBRATION WORSENED AND I DARED NOT DRIVE OVER 45 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY DIFFERENTIAL. I CALLED THE NUMBER ON MY RECALL NOTIFICATION TO TALK TO A DODGE / CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE. HE INFORMED ME THAT NO PARTS ARE YET AVAILABLE, AND THAT THEY COULD BE A WEEK TO ONE YEAR AWAY, AS THEY ARE SEARCHING FOR SOME ONE TO MANUFACTURE THEM. THE DIFFERENTIAL PLANT IN DETROIT WAS CLOSED SHORTLY AFTER MY MODEL YEAR TRUCK. THE NEWER DODGE TRUCKS HAVE DIFFERENTIALS MANUFACTURED BY AMERICAN AXLE IN MEXICO. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING, I NEED MY TRUCK TO DRIVE TO WORK, 30 MILES, TO AMERICAN AXLE IN THREE RIVERS MICHIGAN. I RUN MACHINES THAT MAKE DIFFERENTIAL GEARS FOR GM TRUCKS.

RECALL P77 MY MAIN PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IF THE PINION HAS BECOME LOOSE THE GEARS ARE NOT LINED UP CORRECTLY ANYMORE AND CAUSES EXTREME WEAR ON THE DIFFERENTIAL UNIT AND WILL CAUSE IT TO LOCK UP. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS YESTERDAY AND THEY TOLD ME TO TALK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP. TODAY I WENT IN TO SPEAK WITH HIM. I REQUESTED THAT HE CHECK THE TORQUE ON MY PINION NUT "I HAVE NOBODY HERE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO DO THAT TODAY" HE STATED. I THEN ASKED HIM WHEN HE WOULD HAVE SOMEBODY IN TO CHECK IT, "MAYBE TUESDAY OR THURSDAY WHEN DID YOU WANT IT CHECKED". "TODAY" I STATED. FOLLOWING THAT HE TOOK DOWN MY VIN NUMBER WENT OVER TO THE COMPUTER CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW AND TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. WHICH I THEN ADVISED HIM THAT I SPOKE WITH THEM YESTERDAY AND THEY TOLD ME TO TALK TO MY SERVICE MANAGER. HE STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO TO MY VEHICLE WITHOUT CHRYSLER PROVIDING THE PROPER REMEDY. IF CHRYSLER DOES FIND THAT THE NUT IS LOOSE ARE THEY PLANNING ON REPLACING THE RING AND PINION SINCE WHEN THIS ITEM IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED IT WEARS UNEVENLY AND CAN LOCK UP. CHRYSLER ALSO STATED THAT THEY CANNOT VERIFY IF I WILL BE REIMBURSED IF I TAKE THIS TO A 3RD PARTY REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THIS PROPERLY CORRECTED, SINCE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE IS A 3RD PARTY REPAIR SHOP. I AM LEFT WITH A CHOICE OF PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR TO BE ASSURED THAT I AM DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT I WILL BE COMPENSATED FOR MY EXPENSES, WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO AVAILABLE AND DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT LOCK UP THE REAR WHEELS WITHOUT NOTICE, OR HAVING A REPAIR THAT MAY NOT MEET YOUR STANDARDS SINCE I HAVE NOT FOUND OUT WHAT THE REMEDY IS IF THE TORQUE RATING IS UNDER THE SPECIFIED 200LBS.

STARTED LAST WINTER WHEN WE HAD EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES. NOW IT IS EXTREMELY LOUD ALL OF THE TIME. AFTER HEARING ANNOUNCEMENT OF RECALL AND READING OTHER OWNER COMPLAINTS OF LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING I AM CONCERNED OF MY SAFETY. 2) I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL FEELING LIKE IT LOCKS UP WHEN TURNING RIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN ROAD IS WET. 3) 4-WHEEL DRIVE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IT STARTS MAKING A WHINING SOUND THEN LOCKS UP WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE IN REVERSE. FEELS LIKE TENSION OF A RUBBERBAND THAT HAS TWISTED AS FAR AS IT WILL GO. 4) ALSO, HAVING PROBLEM OF TRUCK STALLING WHEN PUTTING IT IN REVERSE.

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP AND THE DRIVESHAFT SEPARATED AT THE REAR CONNECTION TO THE DIFFERENTIAL IN MODEL YEAR 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP. THERE WAS LITTLE OR NO NOISE OR OTHER WARNING PRIOR TO THE LOCK-UP AND SEPARATION. THE PINION WAS FORCED INTO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CAUSING THE LOCK UP AND DAMAGING THE INTERNALS. THE DRIVE SHAFT WITH THE U-JOINT ATTACHED FELL TO THE GROUND AND WAS PULLED FREE OF THE TRANSFER CASE. I WAS TRAVELING A SPEED OF < 35 MPH AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND REPAIRED. I AM IN POSSESSION OF ALL DAMAGED PARTS AND HAVE SUPPORTING REPAIR DOCUMENTATION. I AM AWARE THERE IS A PENDING INVESTIGATION WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

JUST EXITED FREEWAY WHEN HEARD A LOW SOUNDING WHINING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DECELERATING. SHORTLY AFTER FURTHER TRAVEL AT APPROX 35 MPH A LOUD BANG OCCURRED AND REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP CAUSING A LONG TIRE SKID WHERE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE DRIVESHAFT WAS ON THE GROUND SEPARATED FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED IN AUGUST 2009.

WHILE DRIVING, THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE DRIVE SHAFT HIT THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK OUT OF HARMS WAY BEFORE A MORE SEVERE ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. UPON LEAVING THE VEHICLE, THE DRAFT SHAFT WAS SEEN LAYING UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK, DETACHED FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THE PINION NUT HAD BACKED OFF AND YOKE CAME OUT OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WHEN THAT HAPPENED, THE PINION WENT INTO THE CARRIER AND GOUGED IT AND BROKE THE SPEED SENSOR. REPAIRS WERE EXTENSIVE AND NOT SUPPORTED BY CHRYSLER. HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CENTER CARRIER, RING AND PINION, BOTH AXLE BEARINGS, REAR SPEED SENSOR, AND REAR DRIVE SHAFT AND YOKE. RESEARCH CONCLUDED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER DODGE TRUCKS OF VARYING YEARS AS WELL AS 2005. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER WILL NOT RECALL 2005 DODGE RAM TRUCKS. *TR

LAST SATURDAY ON JUNE 28 2014 I WAS LEAVING MY RESIDENCE WHEN I OBSERVED A SMALL LEAK DRIPPING OUT OF MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHERE THE PINION GEAR GOES INTO THE DIFFERENTIAL. I ORDERED A PINION SEAL AT MY LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. ON MY WAY TO THE PARTS STORE I NOTICED A VERY FAINT WHINE COMING FROM THE REAR END. ABOUT 1 TO 2 MILES AFTER THE WHINE WAS FIRST NOTICED IT QUICKLY BECAME A ROAR FOR NO MORE THAN 20 SECONDS AND THEN THE PINION GEAR SNAPPED AT THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKING BOTH MY REAR TIRES UP SENDING MY TRUCK SIDEWAYS. WITH MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE FOR A 2 YEAR OLD. I COULDN'T MOVE THE TRUCK OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET SO I SAT HELPLESSLY AND WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE NEXT DAY I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND REALIZED THAT ALONG WITH MY REAR END BEING TOASTED SO WAS MY DRIVE SHAFT WHICH HAD DAMAGE FROM SPINNING FREELY. THEN I OBSERVED MY GAS TANK WITH A DENT SO BIG I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PURCHASE A NEW TANK. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN QUOTED FOR A USED REAR DIFFERENTIAL AT SEVERAL SALVAGE YARDS FROM 800-1400. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES WITH DODGE TRUCKS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE LOOSING THERE LIFE BECAUSE NEGLIGENCE FROM DODGE TO GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED AND HOLD DODGE ACCOUNTABLE!!!! *TR

ANOTHER VEHICLE CUT IN FRONT AND BRAKED FOR RED LIGHT CAUSING ME TO "LOCK UP" THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK HAS REAR ABS WHICH KEPT THE REAR WHEELS FROM "LOCKING UP". VEHICLE ACCELERATED DURING HEAVY BRAKING WHICH CAUSED THE COLLISION. ABOUT 50 FEET OF BRAKE MARKS WERE LEFT ON THE ROAD SURFACE FROM THE FRONT TIRES. IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT, A VEHICLE SUDDENLY MERGED FROM LEFT SIDE OF ROAD CAUSING ME TO SWERVE TO THE SOFT SHOULDER ON THE RIGHT. TRUCK HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL STARTED TO SPIN. IT SPUN FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT STOPPED. TIRE DUG INTO THE SOFT SHOULDER AND LEFT A SPRAY OF DIRT BEHIND THE TRUCK.. HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A FACILITY TO TEST THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT APPEARS RELATED TO THE STALLING WHILE STOPPING PROBLEM.

MY REQUEST FOR A COMPLETE AND THOROUGH RE-INVESTIGATION BY NHTSA WILL FOLLOW THIS COMPLAINT. MYSELF AND 2 CHILDREN ALMOST DIED AS A RESULT OF THE POWER TRAIN FAILURE OF MY 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 HEMI PICKUP. ON SAT MORNING 7-20-13 AROUND 10:30 AM TRAVELING HOME FROM A BASEBALL TOURNAMENT, WE WERE WESTBOUND ON 80/90, MILE MARKER 115, TRAVELING AROUND 70-72 MPH NEAR ELKHART INDIANA. THE REAR PINION NUT CAME LOOSE, CAUSING THE PINION GEAR TO FALL INTO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, LOCKING UP THE REAR END, AND THROWING THE DRIVE SHAFT COMPLETELY OFF MY VEHICLE WITH NO WARNING. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THERE WAS A SEMI PULLED OVER INTO THE SHOULDER FOR A DOWN TIRE, ALL THE VEHICLES WERE MERGING OVER TO GIVE THE SEMI ROOM, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE (BANG), AND I LOST IMMEDIATE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I FOUGHT TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY TRUCK, JUST MISSING BEING REAR ENDED AND BROAD- SIDED BY SEVERAL VEHICLES AS WELL AS WIPING OUT VEHICLES TO MY RIGHT AND BEHIND ME. I BARELY GOT SOME CONTROL AS MY VEHICLE WAS ATTEMPTING TO GO SIDEWAYS I WAS IN FEAR WE WERE GOING TO ROLL AT 50 MPH RIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I KEPT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING SOMEHOW AND CAME TO A SCREECHING STOP BARELY OFF THE ROADWAY. MY TRUCK WAS SMOKING FROM EVERYWHERE AND I COULD NOT SEE FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE 2 MINUTES. AS TRAFFIC LIGHTENED UP AND THE 2 CARS THAT ALSO LEFT THE ROADWAY TO AVOID A COLLISION, GOT BACK UNDER POWER AND LEFT, I FOUND MY DRIVE SHAFT ON THE ROADWAY COMPLETELY OFF MY VEHICLE. ONCE MY MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO SEE THE VEHICLE ON MONDAY AND DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. IT WAS FOUND THEN THAT THE REAR PINION NUT CAME LOOSE. IT HAS COST ME OVER 4500.00 SO FAR BETWEEN TOWING, REAR END, DRIVE SHAFT, FRONT END, GAS TANK SMASHED AND WERE NOT DONE. THE TRANS ALSO HAS ISSUES NOW.

AS I WAS TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS GOING ON I HEARD A LOUD A POP AND CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I NOTICED THAT MY DIFFERENTIAL HAD FALLEN OFF THE VEHICLE AND REAR END WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I DRIVE A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OVER WORKED AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED IT. AFTER HAVING TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER SHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD "HAND GRANADED INSIDE ITSELF" AND HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $2400 PLUS TOWING, AND VEHICLE RENTAL. FOR A 2005 WITH ONLY 74000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND THERE ARE WAY TO MANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AMONG DODGE TRUCKS. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DIDN'T NOT OCCUR WHEN MY REAR END LOCKED UP ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT WHO TO SAY IF THE NEXT PERSON WILL BE SO LUCKY. AT SOME POINT THESE TRUCKS ARE NO LONGER SAFE TO HAVE OUR FAMILY'S AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN NEVER KNOWING WHEN THEY WILL LOCKED AND CAUSE A BREAK DOWN OR ACCIDENT. *TR

I STARTED TO GET A ROUGH IDLE CONDITION ON MY DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB WITH THE 5.7 HEMI MOTOR AND AUTO TRANS. NOW INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTH THE TRUCK STALLS WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE...THOUGH NOT THAT DANGEROUS AN INCONVENIENCE. THE DANGEROUS PART IS WHEN I SOMETIMES PULL INTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK WILL START FORWARD AS IT SHOULD THEN THE MOTOR WILL JUST DIE CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE AND STEERING FUNCTIONS. I AM GETTING NO ENGINE CODES OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE EVEN HOOKED THE TRUCK UP TO A COMPUTER WITH NO CODES DETECTED. RECENTLY I WENT TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC ONTO A ROAD THAT WAS 35MPH AND THE MOTOR AGAIN DIED. LUCKILY THE DRIVER HEADING TOWARD MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND ALLOWED ME TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL RESTART IT AND GET IT OUT OF THE OTHER VEHICLE'S LANE OF TRAVEL. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN CLEANED THE SPARK PLUGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED WITH NO LUCK AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS IS A LINK TO JUST (1) WEBSITE OF MANY THAT I FOUND THAT SHOWS THIS IS CLEARLY NOT ISOLATED TO MY VEHICLE. HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/RAM_1500/2005/ENGINE/ENGINE_STALLS.SHTML I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS SO SPORADIC WITH NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR CODES IT WOULD PROBABLY COST A SMALL FORTUNE FOR A DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME IN BETWEEN THE STALL CONDITIONS. *TR

AS I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER TO THE MEDIAN THE TRUCK LOCKED UP AND SKIDDED TO A STOP JUST MISSING THE GUARD RAIL. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER MY TRUCK AND SAW THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF FROM THE REAR END/DIFFERENTIAL AND OIL WAS POURING OUT THE DIFFERENTIAL CASING FROM THE EXPOSED HOLE WHERE THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BEEN ATTACHED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE DRIVE LANES I THINK THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP THAT HAD REPAIRED THE REAR END IN 2010 AT A COST OF $906.93. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ROLL FORWARD ON TO THE TOW TRUCK BUT WOULD ROLL BACKWARD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO LOAD ON THE TOW TRUCK. I WENT ONLINE AND READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THESE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT YEAR SPECIFIC AND COVERED VEHICLES RANGING FROM THE LATE 90S AND PRACTICALLY ALL 2000 MODEL YEARS. SOME OF THE DIVERS NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS.

1ST INCIDENT 2/21/13: DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY W/CENTER LEFT TURN LANES AT 40 WHEN A CAR CUT ACROSS FROM THE RIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. HIT THE BRAKES CAUSING THE FRONT TO LOCK UP (REAR ABS ONLY). TRUCK STARTED STOPPING, BUT CONTINUED MOVING FORWARD AGAINST THE FRONT BRAKES AND INTO THE CAR. TRUCK LEFT UNUSUALLY LONG SKID MARKS. POLICE AND INSURANCE REPORTS MADE.

HIT THE BRAKES CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SLIDE STRAIGHT THROUGH CURVE ONTO GRASS SHOULDER. TRUCK CAME TO COMPLETE STOP AND HEARD THE RIGHT REAR SPINNING IN THE DIRT. PUT MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO HOLD TRUCK FROM MOVING. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT ON THE GAS. IT SPUN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE STOPPING. TRUCK LEFT NORMAL LENGTH OF SKID MARKS. DID NOT SMELL BURNT BRAKES IN REAR; POSSIBLY NOT ENGAGED AT ALL. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING TO SEE IF I CAN TEST THE BRAKING AT A LOCAL DIRT TRACK TO VERIFY THIS ISSUE, AND TO HAVE OUTSIDE OBSERVATION OF THE OCCURRENCE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A DRY, BARE ROAD AT 40 MPH, I STARTED TO HEAR A LOW PITCHED GROWLING NOISE FROM THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK. I WAS TRYING TO LOCATE A PLACE TO PULL OVER TO, BUT WITHIN ABOUT 30-60 SECONDS I HEARD A SINGLE LOUD BOOMING TYPE NOISE FROM THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK AND THE I WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE AFTER THAT (POWER LOSS TO THE WHEELS). THE BOOMING NOISE WAS MY DRIVE SHAFT THAT HAD JUST FALLEN OFF DUE TO THE PINION NUT COMING UNDONE. ONCE THE PINION NUT/DRIVESHAFT CAME OFF THE TRUCK, SOMETHING STARTED FLYING AROUND INSIDE OF THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL CASE AND CRACKED THE BOTTOM OF MY REAR DIFF CASE (PLUS THE REAR DIFF WAS TOTALLY LOCKED UP). I RECOVERED THE DRIVESHAFT AND FOUND THE PINION NUT FLOATING AROUND INSIDE OF THE DRIVESHAFT YOKE FLANGE ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS STILL ATTACHED TO THE DRIVE SHAFT (PINION NUT WAS NOT BROKEN). THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY REPAIRS NEEDED TO THAT SIDE OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL (E.G. LIKE A PINION SEAL OR THE LIKE), THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE PINION NUT COMING LOOSE, ONLY THE STANDARD FLUID CHANGES AT THE SPECIFIED TIMES USING THE PROPER FLUIDS (PER THE TSB RELEASED BY DODGE: 03-003-06). DURING THE FLUID CHANGES, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF METAL PIECES OR ISSUES IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL.

TRUCK STALLS DAILY. ONLY STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ONCE COMPLETELY STOPPED THE TACHOMETER JOLTS UP AND DOWN, MAKING THE TRUCK LURCH FORWARD, AND WILL SOMETIMES STALL COMPLETELY. DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING, OR AT LOW SPEEDS, ONLY AT COMPLETE STOP AND IN DRIVE. IF IN NEUTRAL THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. THIS IS UNSAFE TO LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR TRUCK AND AT TIMES IT LURCHES FORWARD TRYING TO GET THE CORRECT RPM. I HAVE SEEN ALL OVER THE INTERNET HOW WIDESPREAD THIS PROBLEM IS AND DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. MANY TIMES I HAVE SEEN WHERE THIS HAS OCCURRED TO PEOPLE WHILE DRIVING! THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT FINE EXCEPT THIS, IT HAS TO BE A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND NEEDS REPLACED. I SEE OFTEN WHERE PEOPLE CHANGE MANY PARTS, SOMETIMES HELPING BUT USUALLY NOT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH A 4.7 LITER V-8. THE PROBLEM LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD IS THAT THE TRUCK WILL REV UP AND DOWN AT IDLE AND SLOW SPEED. AFTER THE TRUCK STALLED, ALMOST GETTING ME IN A SEVER CRASH AT AN INTERSECTION WHILE TOWING MY BOAT, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE EGR VALVE WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO IT STARTED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED SOME PART ON THE COMPUTER AND REPROGRAMMED IT, BUT THIS ONLY WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND ITS BACK. *TR

RACK AND PINION LEAKING WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP, WHICH USES THE SAME FLUID AS THE RACK AND PINION--BOTH HAVE TO BE REPAIRED AND REPLACED. THE TIE RODS ARE BROKEN AND CONNECTED TO THE RACK AND PINION FLUID, WHICH ULTIMATELY LED TO THE TIERODS BREAKING DUE TO FLUID LEAKAGE. WE ARE ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, NOT SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE--OUR PRIOR VEHICLE WAS ALSO A DODGE RAM 1500, IN WHICH WE HAD TIE ROD ISSUES AND MAJOR AUTOMATIC POWER TRANSMISSION AND POWER STEERING FLUID ISSUES. TRUCK JUST PURCHASED AND CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP PENDING REPLACEMENT TIE RODS, POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACEMENT AND ANY OTHER FLUID ISSUES THEY FIND TO GET THE COMPONENTS WORKING IN SYNERGY. *TR

ENGINE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY. DURING LOW SPEEDS, UP HILLS, DOWN HILLS, AROUND CORNERS, IT DOESN'T MATTER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE "HARMONIC BALANCER" BUT IT STILL DIDN'T FIX IT. *TR

DRIVING SOUTH ON ICY AND SNOWPACK HIGHWAY. ONCOMING CAR SPUN INTO MY LANE. BRAKED HARD, MOVED RIGHT, ONCOMING CAR SPUN BACK TOWARDS THEIR LANE, CONTINUED PAST CAR. WATCHED THE CAR AND IT DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. I ACCELERATED BUT HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. ENGINE HAD DIED. THE ENGINE HAS NEVER DONE THIS. PUT IN NEUTRAL, STARTED ENGINE, PUT IN DRIVE, ACCELERATED AND DROVE FINE. I WAS GOING 55 TO 60 MPH. IN DRIVE AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED. THE PICKUP HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I THINK IT WAS IN LOCKUP AND WHEN I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES THE LOCK UP CONVERTER DID NOT HAVE TIME TO DISENGAGE WHEN THE TIRES STOPPED WHEN I BRAKED. THE PICKUP DOES NOT HAVE ALL WHEEL ANTI LOCK BRAKES. IT DOES HAVE REAR WHEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. THE TIRES ARE STUDDED SNOW TIRES. I THINK THE ROADS WERE SLICK ENOUGH TO STOP THE WHEELS WHEN BRAKING HARD. WITH ALL 4 WHEELS STOPPED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN LOCK UP IT WOULD ACT LIKE A STANDARD TRANSMISSION AND KILL THE ENGINE. THE ONLY WAY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM IS IF I HAD TO GO IN THE DITCH TO AVOID THE ONCOMING CAR. IN THAT SITUATION, DEEP SNOW IN THE DITCH PLUS THE PLOW BERM, I WOULD HAVE HAD TO ACCELERATE TO GET THROUGH IT AND KEEP THE PICKUP FROM GOING SIDE WAYS AND POSSIBLY ROLLING. HAVE YOU HAD ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL. THANKS, *TR

AFTER MY TRUCK WAS SITTING WITHOUT STARTING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. I WOULD HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER A WHILE, IT WOULD START TO SIFT INTO GEAR WITH A VERY LOUD NOISE. I ALSO NOTICED, THAT WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP, BUT DIDN'T COMPLETELY STOP, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HIT VERY HARD UPON ACCELERATION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO CODE, THAT IT WAS FINE. I STATED THAT IF IT WAS A MECHANICAL ISSUE, THAT YOU MAY NOT GET A CODE. FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU LOSE A TIRE ON THE ROAD. THE SECOND TIME, THEY ADJUSTED THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER, BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. THE THIRD TIME, THEY CHANGED THE FILTER, BUT ONLY PUT SILICONE ON THE PAN WITH NO GASKET. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANNY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FILTER ALLOWING THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO BACK BLEED AND THAT THEY PUT IN A FILTER WITH A CHECK VALVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE MORE POWER, BUT I AM STILL GETTING SOME HARD SHIFTING WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND THEN SPEED UP. THE PROBLEM STARTED AT 20,000 MILES. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I WAS BACKING UP IN DRIVEWAY AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED, BEGAN MOVING, AND THEN STALLED. THAT SAME AFTERNOON I WAS LEAVING WORK AND THE SAME IDENTICAL THING HAPPENED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND TO BRING IT IN. I TOOK IT TO DEALER, AND THEY DID AN UPDATE OR SOMETHING. RECENTLY IT STARTED HESITATING WHEN PUT IN GEAR AND HAS STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS EITHER WHEN BEING PLACED IN GEAR OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, THEN LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS BINDING, AND JUST BEFORE STALLING IT LUNGED FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, DEPENDING ON DIRECTION OF TRAVEL, BEFORE STALLING.*AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHILE LETTING GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE DRIFTED QUICKLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WELL AND THE NOISE WAS MORE PRONOUNCED WHILE DRIVING ACROSS ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS. ALSO, WHILE PLACING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, THERE WAS A LOUD VIBRATION FROM THE DRIVESHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER FOR THE STEERING AND DRIVESHAFT. THE DEALER PERFORMED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO CORRECT THE STEERING PROBLEM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. *AK

THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE WAS CONTACTED AND THE PARTS WHICH WERE REQUESTED BY THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY WERE DENIED BY THE MANUFACTURER, SO AT THIS TIME I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DIRECTOR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT AND WAS SENT HOME WITH THE TRANSMISSION STILL WHINING AS IT WAS WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN, THIS CONDITION TO ME IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND IT IS UNSAFE.*JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN IN 2005 DODGE RAM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE CAME OFF AND WENT UNDER THE VEHICLE. HE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP , AND THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE HE DID NOT BUY IT THERE. THE CONTACT PAID TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE HE PURCHASED IT. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. HE FOUND A BROKEN AXLE, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRE SEPARATION. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO FIX THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. THEREFORE, THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE . THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD, AND THERE WERE NO POT HOLES WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. HE HAS PICTURES OF THE LOCATION WHERE THE TIRE CAME OFF. *AK

MY TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED (42K) WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER (PRESENT OR PAST) WHILE DRIVING ALONG A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SUDDENLY & RAPIDLY SLOW DOWN AND BEGAN TO SURGE (RAPIDLY SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN). THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE FORCED TO SUDDENLY BRAKE; MANY QUICKLY CHANGED LANES TO AVOID A COLLISION. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR FROM DODGE VIA THE SERVICE MANAGER. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTACTED THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE, DAN LEWENDOWSKI, WHO REFUSED TO ASSIST ME WITH THE EXPENSE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NOTABLE TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR REPAIR. UPON INSPECTING THE TRANSMISSION, THE TRANSMISSION SHOP OWNER INSISTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED FOR SOME OTHER REASON THAN NON-MAINTENANCE. HE TOLD ME THAT THE FLUID DOES NOT LOSE IT'S LUBRICATION AT 42,000 MILES. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST DODGE RAM HE HAS SERVICED WITH A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IN FACT, HE HAD ANOTHER DODGE RAM IN THE SHOP THE SAME DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (THE "SOFT PARTS" IN THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED). THE TRANMISSION SHOP OWNER TOLD ME THAT DODGE HAS HAD A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE THIS MATTER FURTHER. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS MATTER ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE LOCATED SEVERAL WEBSITES RELATED TO THE FAILURE OF DODGE TRANSMISSIONS. I AM REQUESTING A REIMBURSEMENT OF $1,900 FROM DODGE FOR THE REPAIR OF MY TRANSMISSION. I WOULD ALSO LIKE NHSTA TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FURTHER TO SEE IF A RECALL IS WARRANTED SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN AND WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. I HAVE THE DAMAGED/REPLACED PARTS IN MY POSSESSION SHOULD YOU WISH TO INSPECT THEM.
