  MY 2005 DODGE RAM SRT-10 VIPER TRUCK ENGINE STALLS/SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, NO CODES, NO ERRORLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING...I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK STALLING OUT WHEN PARKING OR GOING THROUGH SLOW TURNS. IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION'WHILE AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING, IT DIED AND I SLOWLY DRIFTED OVER TO AN ADJACENT CURVE.. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 11/06/15, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST 5 MONTHS. ALL LIGHTS AND THE RADIO REMAIN ON AND IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP, HOWEVER MY STEERING AND BRAKES LOCK UP WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED MY RPMS DROP DRAMATICALLY AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRUCK WANTS TO STALL. STARTED SURGING AND STALLING SO IN IT WENT IN AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE IAC MODULE ...AND THEN THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL PUMP'SO THEY TESTED THE FUEL RAIL AND CLAIM THAT IT WAS LOSING 5% OF ITS TORQUE'BUT NOT TO BE CONCERNED'THEN THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE MAP SENSOR'BUT NO !...AGAIN WITH NO INDICATION, NO ERROR LIGHTS; AND NO CODES' ' AND THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS STILL CAN NOT GET IT TO RUN WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF ONCE YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR IT DIES' TO DEALER FOR CHECKUP. COULD NOT AND CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. AND THEY CHARGED ME $967.00 WHY CAN'T FIAT-CHRYSLER SAVE FACE WHEN THEY KNOW A PART PROBLEM EXISTS AND JUST FIX IT RIGHT WITHOUT RIPPING OFF CUSTOMERS ? THE MOPAR MECHANICS HAVE HAD MY TRUCK SINCE NOVEMBER 6TH, 2015 , (OVER TWO MONTHS ) AND STILL CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT'.. 'THEY WANT ME TO PAY MORE MONEY WHILE THEY EXPLORE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THEY CLAIM THAT THE FIAT-CHRYSLER COPRPORATION ENGINEERS WANT THEM TO TRY' 'REALLY..SS YOU ARE ASKING THE CONSUMER/CUSTOMER TO FUND THE EDUCATION OF YOUR MECHANICS'FIAT-CHRYSLER REALLY ????? PLEASE RECALL THESE TRUCKS BEFORE SOME-ONE OR SOME-FAMILY GETS KILLED PLEASE..PLEASE !!

  2005 RAM 1500 ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES ON IT, SEVERAL ISSUES: 1) LOUD WHINING NOISE, SOUNDS LIKE REALLY LOUD POWER STEERING WHINE BUT POWER STEERING IS OK. 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. ALWAYS STARTS UP AGAIN BUT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE BACKING OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET. DEALERSHIP HAS RESEALED DRIVE PINION 3 TIMES! DON'T KNOW IF ALL 4 ARE RELATED BUT I SURE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL LOOK IT OVER. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS REALLY GONE DOWNHILL. *JS

  I LOST MY PARKING LIGHTS (TAIL LIGHTS) THIS MORNING BEFORE I WENT TO WORK AT 3;30 A.M. WHEN I GOT OFF WORK I BEGAN MY SEARCH FOR SOLUTIONS HOW TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. MY DISCOVERY WAS KIND OF DISTURBING. IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE THE FUSE BOX INSIDE, THERE IS A FAULTY WIRE THAT CAUSES THIS AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. MAKES ME KIND OF WONDER WHAT OTHER PROBLEMS ARE WRONG INSIDE THE FUSE BOX.I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THIS PART AND REPLACE IT. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT? I READ ON THE FORUMS THAT THIS PART IS ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM THIS IN ITSELF SHOULD BE A RED FLAG. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS. I WILL ORDER THIS PART IF I MUST BUT WITH THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM MAYBE DODGE SHOULD PICK UP THE BILL. THANKS FOR READING I HOPE THERE IS A SOLUTION. *JS

PARKED VEHICLE FOR WEEK WHILE OUT OF TOWN. RETURNED DROVE TO WORK, APPROX 22 MILES, PROBLEM PERSISTED AND GOT WORSE, THIS WAS DURING ANOTHER SNOW EVENT. DECIDED TO SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM LOCAL DEALERSHIP, REFUSED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, SET UP APPOINTMENT FOR JAN. 4, 2010. CALLED LOCAL REPAIR SHOP NEAR HOME. COULD GET ME IN IMMEDIATELY. ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE TO REPAIR SHOP. RIGHT FROM WHEEL BEARING FAILED, CAUSING DAMAGE TO HUB AND AXLE. HAD TO BE HAULED IN BECAUSE THE WHEEL SEPARATED FROM AXLE. CAUSED TIRE TO RIDE UP INTO UPPER CONTROL ARM AND DESTROYED TIRE. SEARCHED INTERNET AND FOUND THAT 2006 DODGE RAMS HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THAT 2002 THRU 2008 DODGE RAMS THAT HAD REPLACEMENTS WITH SPECIFIC BRANDS HAD BEEN RECALLED. MY VEHICLE HAD ONLY 53,412 MILES ON IT WHEN THE BEARING ASSEMBLY FAILED. IT HAS COST ME OVER $600 IN REPAIRS THAT WERE NOT COVERED BY THE "70,000 MILE LIMITED DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY." THE REPLACED PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND IN MY POSSESSION. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN DODGE PICKUPS OF MANY MODEL YEARS INCLUDING 2005 BOTH 2 AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE. *TR

I MY PASSENGER AND I HEARD SOME STRANGE NOISES IN THE REAR AND THEN SUDDENLY THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BOUNCE AROUND VIOLENTLY. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN DECEMBER OF 2016, THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED MID NOVEMBER 2017. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THE RECALL, AND FOLLOWED UP WITH SOME CALLS TO DEALERS. THIS ISSUE WAS SUPPOSEDLY RESOLVED IN MARCH 2016 IN PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN LEWISTOWN PENNSYLVANIA. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT A DEALERSHIP WHERE IT HAS BEEN SINCE DECEMBER 14, AND THEY TELL ME IT MIGHT NOT GET IN THE SHOP UNTIL AFTER THE NEW YEAR. I CONTACTED DODGE, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN NOT HELP ME UNTIL AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC. I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU IN THE EVENT THEY DENY MY CLAIM UNDER THE RECALL WARRANTY. THE SHOP MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TELLS ME EVEN WITH A DIAGNOSIS HE CAN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED PROPERLY OR NOT, WHICH WOULD LEAVE ME WITH A HUGE BILL FOR SOMETHING I BELIEVE IS THEIR FAULT FOR NOT USING PROPER PARTS OR NOT REPAIRING THE PART PROPERLY UNDER A RECALL WARRANTY.

THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THE PINION NUT CAME OFF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHICH CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP. THIS ALSO WIPED OUT THE REAR GEARS, CARRIER AND DRIVESHAFT. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS BECAUSE IT WAS AN EXTERNAL PART ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL THAT CAME LOOSE CAUSING THE DAMAGE. THE REPAIRS COST ME OVER $1,000.

  THIS COMPLAINT IS A CONTINUANCE OF A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT NUMBER 10175625 FILED 12/08/2006. I HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 WITH THE 5.7L HEMI. THE VEHICLE WILL AT TIMES STALL WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD AND IT IS COLD OUT SIDE (NEAR FREEZING). SINCE I FILED MY FIRST COMPLAINT, I HAVE HAD ADDITIONAL STALLING OCCURRENCES WITH THE VEHICLE. IT WAS PICKED UP FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON DECEMBER 15, 2006. IT WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 60 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. ON THE 16TH, I WENT TO THE STORE. AS I EXITED MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE VEHICLE REACHED ABOUT 30 MPH AND HESITATED WHERE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY FURTHER FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS AND THEN STALLED. I RESTARTED IT AND CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I LEFT THE STORE TO COME HOME ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT ONLY WITH A ONE SECOND HESITATION AND STALLED. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RIGHT AWAY AND DROPPED IT OFF TO THEM THE FOLLOWING MONDAY MORNING. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN EXCELLENT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED BOTH TRANSMISSION FILTERS AND A CRANK SENSOR. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY HAS POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE FOR THE THIRD TIME IN TWO WEEKS. I HAVE EXPRESSED TO BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER, BOTH VERBALLY AND IN WRITING, MY SINCERE CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. I HAVE ASKED THAT IF IT IS NOT ABLE TO BE PROPERLY DIAGNOSED AND FIXED, TO RELEASE ME FORM MY LEASE OBLIGATIONS WITH CHRYSLER FINANCIAL. *NM

SEVERAL COMPLAINTS LATER, THE MECHANIC FINALLY FELT IT AND ORDERED A PART(THROTTLE BODY). THAT WAS DONE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINED. A LITTLE AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED, THE ENGINE STARTED TO STALL WHEN WE WOULD TURN. REPORTED THAT TO THE DEALER BUT AGAIN, NOTHING WAS DONE BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. NOW, THEY ORDERED A POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WAS FINALLY REPLACED AFTER GOING IN SEVERAL TIMES AND IT COMING IN DEFECTIVE (TIME ENDED UP BEING SEVERAL MONTHS). THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED BUT THE ENGINE IS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING (TAKES ABOUT 5-6 ATTEMPTS) AND IS STALLING NOW MORE THAN EVER.

• 12/15/2016· STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK STRAIGHT DOWN REMEMBRANCE ROAD (SECONDARY HIGHWAY) IT STALLED, LOOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF APPROX 45 MPH WITH NO TURNS, COASTED TO THE SHOULDER PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC. TRUCK RESTARTED AND I PROCEEDED HOME. I PARKED THE TRUCK ALL SEEMED FINE. WENT OUT THE NEXT DAY AND TRUCK WOULD NOT CRANK. BATTERY LOAD CHECKED OK, IF I JUMP THE STARTER RELAY @ PIN 30 TO 87 TRUCK WILL CRANK. WHEN KEY IS TURNED ON THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON ALONG WITH RADIO, HEADLIGHTS, AND BLOWER FOR HEAT/AIR. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF BY ME. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT MOVE WHEN IGNITION KEY WAS TURNED ON EVEN THOUGH IT HAD HALF A TANK, IT WORKED FINE WHEN I PARKED IT. I HAVE SEARCHED ON LINE FOR THIS STALL CONDITION FOR MY 2005 RAM 1500 4.7L 4X4. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN ALOT IF YOU SEARCH THIS CONDITION ON LINE WITH OTHER DODGE VEHICLES ALSO AND IS VERY DANGEROUS, WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY DOING 70 AND LOST MY ABILITY TO STOP OR STEER THIS VEHICLE OUT OF HARMS WAY. WELL THE MOST OBVIOUS ANSWER, I WOULDN'T BE HERE WRITING THIS COMPLAINT. I AM SO UPSET, AS A CANCER SURVIVOR AND ALL I WENT THROUGH WITH THAT, IT WOULD BE A SORRY WAY TO BE INJURED OR DIE. I HAVE INSTRUCTED MY LOVE ONES TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST DODGE SHOULD I DIE BECAUSE OF THIS TRUCKS ISSUE OF LOOSING POWER. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS RESOLVED BY A RECALL OR AT LEAST A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF THE ROOT CAUSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE PCM. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE TO BE LOOKED AT. *TR
