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 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.

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.

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. VILLAGE MOTORS FROM MILLERSBURG OH SAID IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS WHICH THEY REPLACED 2 YERS AGO WHEN I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

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.

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. FIRST OCCURRENCE ABOUT 10NOV, 2ND OCCURRENCE ABOUT 16NOV, 3RD WAS 5DEC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER AN AIR BAG RECALL, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED; HOWEVER, THE HORN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AN HOUR LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC PIECE WAS FRACTURED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

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.

THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND NEEDS A NEW TIPM PER DODGE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTICS. EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL FLASH AND THE GAUGES BECOME DISABLED. SOMETIMES IT IS CONTINUOUS SOMETIMES IT'S ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE CARGO LIGHTS WILL COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY. THE GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN SITTING IN PARK, WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK HASN'T BEEN IN USE. RANDOM ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WILL BLINK.

BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TIE RODS FAILED AT 3 YEARS OLD AND 4 YEARS OLD AND WE REPLACED THEM OUT OF POCKET. ALL 4 O2 SENSORS FAILED AT 5 YEARS OLD BUT DEALER FAILED TO DIAGNOSE THIS CORRECTLY WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WE HAD TO REPLACE THESE AND THE PCM, WHICH BURNT OUT BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE O2 SENSORS, AFTER THE TRUCK WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE. THE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT AND WE CAN'T SELL THE VEHICLE AS IT IS. CHRYSLER STATES IT IS NOT PART OF THE BUYBACK AND NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT WE CAN'T SELL.

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. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, AND DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE.

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

MY WIFE AND 2 KIDS (4YR AND 6YR) WERE DRIVING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR TURNED OFF. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE SUDDENLY NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND MY WIFE STEERED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION BEFORE SHE CAME TO A HALT. LUCKILY NOTHING HAPPENED. SHE SWITCHED THE TRANSMISSION INTO P, THE CAR STARTED FLAWLESSLY AND SHE PARKED IT TO CALL HER MOM TO PICK HER UP. I THEN GOT TO THE CAR AND WONDERING WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. READING ABOUT IGNITION LOCKS CAUSING THIS SYMPTOM, I LIGHTLY TUGGED ON THE IGNITION KEY WHILE IDLING. THE CAR TURNED OFF EASILY. KNOWING MY WIFE PUTS WHICHEVER CAR KEY SHE NEEDS ON HER KEY CHAIN, I SUSPECTED THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM. I TRIED IT OUT AND -SURE ENOUGH- REPEATED THE EVENT. SHE NORMALLY DRIVES HER 2013 JEEP WRANGLER WHICH HAS THE IDENTICAL TYPE OF IGNITION SWITCH. THIS ONE HOWEVER DOES NOT TURN OFF THE CAR WHEN ONE PULLS ON THE KEY WHILE THE CAR IS IDLING IN GEAR. I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I DID NOT FIND A LOT ON ISSUES WITH DODGE IGNITION SWITCHES AND WOULD NEVER DESCRIBE THIS OCCURRENCE ON A 7 YEAR OLD CAR, IF IT HADN'T BEEN SO TERRIFYING. NEVER DID I FEEL SO UNPROTECTED! LOSING POWER AND BECOMING A WIDOWER IS REALLY JUST ONE SMALL TUG AWAY.... THOUGHT I SHARED.... PS: OF COURSE I WILL GET A NEW IGNITION SWITCH. *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.

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

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

DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH THE TRUCK--2008 DODGE RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI-- DIED. I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND STOP. VERY THANKFUL I WAS ON A COUNTRY LANE AND NOT ON A FREEWAY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT ICON WAS FLASHING AS I TRIED TO RE-START IT. IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. AFTER WAITING FOR 15 MINUTES IT DID START UP AGAIN. THE ENGINE ICON LIGHT WAS SHOWING AND IT SAID THAT AN OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED. THE OIL CHANGE WASN'T DUE YET FOR ANOTHER 1000 MILES, OR, TWO WEEKS ON MY THREE MONTH SCHEDULE. I GET THE OIL CHANGED EVERY THREE MONTHS. IT TRIED TO STALL FROM THEN ON AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP, ON MY WAY TO TO THE DEALER. THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED A CODE FOR THE EGR VALVE, WHICH WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS FIXED FOUR DAYS AGO AND SO FAR SO GOOD, BUT AM VERY ANXIOUS WHEN I DRIVE NOW, WORRYING THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN, ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING SO MANY POSTS ONLINE WITH OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR DODGE RAM TRUCKS.THIS TRUCK HAS 35,300 MILES ON IT.

IN EXTREME COLD WEATHER, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START. WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE START POSITION, THE ENGINE WILL CRANK AND STOP, CRANK AND STOP. EVEN WHEN ALLOWING THE KEY TO SNAP BACK TO THE RUN POSITION, IT CONTINUES TO CRANK AND STOP, CRANK AND STOP. THIS CONDITION STOPS WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION. AFTER 7 OR 8 TRIES, THE ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY START AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARM, THE CONDITION CANNOT BE DUPLICATED. ONE NOTE, AFTER THE CRANKING AND STOPPING, IF I TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND BACK TO THE RUN POSITION, I HEAR CLICKING COMING FROM THE DASH EVEN BEFORE TRYING TO START IT AGAIN. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WIND NOISE. UNDER WINDY CONDITIONS AND AT HIGH SPEEDS, I CAN HEAR WIND ESCAPING PAST THE WEATHERSTRIP IN BOTH FRONT DOORS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. AS FOR THE COLD STARTING CONDITION, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. *TR

2008 DODGE RAM 1500, THE TIPM MODULE HAS BURNED UP ONCE ALREADY AND AFTER BEING REPLACED TWICE NOW WE ARE SMELLING A BURNING SMELL AGAIN, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF 4X4 (DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS IN WHEN IT OCCURS) IT ALSO CAUSES LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT GOES ON, THE HEADLIGHTS DIM WAY DOWN, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH START FLICKERING AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS LIGHT UP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AND IT IS SNOWING OR RAINING (WHICH HAPPENS ALOT HERE IN WASHINGTON IN THE WINTER) THE "FIXES" THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE DONE (TWO DIFFERENT PLACES) HAVE NEVER LASTED A DAY, WE JUST GOT THE VEHICLE BACK FROM REPAIRS AND WE ARE AGAIN SMELLING A BURNING SMELL ND IT IS DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND THE FIRST TIME I USED THE 4X4 AUTO THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FAIL. IT WOULD STAY IN 4X4 FOR AWHILE THEN IT WOULD ENGAGE THE 4X4 LOCK. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT FIXED BECAUSE OF A LACK OF SUPPLY OF THE REQUIRED PART. ALSO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT OUT AND IT WAS A 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY COULD GET THAT PART IN. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK WITH THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT AT DODGE AT ALL. *TR

LATELY I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM STARTING MY 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. THE VEHICLE LIGHTS UP LIKE IT'S GOING TO START, THEN WHEN I TURN THE KEY OVER THERE'S NOTHING. I HAVE CONTINUED TRYING TO CRANK THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES AND AFTER 10-20 MIN OF WAITING THE VEHICLE STARTS LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST. I WISH I NEVER BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NOW . *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2008 DODGE PICK UP 1500, WITH A V-6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION, 5 MONTHS LATER, WITH 7000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AT 45 MPH, ALL THE INSTRUMENTATION FLICKERED, THEN QUIT AS WELL THE ENGINE QUIT, COASTED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND THERE WAS A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD, CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY PUT THE FIRE OUT. NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT THE VEHICLE IS IN BAD SHAPE, IT HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY, IT IS 100% THE WAY CHRYSLER MADE IT. NOW, CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO WARRANT THIS PROBLEM, SAYING THEY CAN FIND "NO INDICATION OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT". THIS IS SO WRONG, I AM SO UPSET, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING IN THEIR BACK LOT FOR 7 WEEKS NOW, AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT, WILL NOT TAKE ANY PHONE CALLS OR ANYTHING, IT IS LIKE THEY ARE AN UNTOUCHABLE GHOST. *TR
