• 12/31/2014· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRUCK TRIES TO ENGAGE 4WD LO. AT LOW SPEEDS IT HAS ENGAGED TO 4WD LO. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT HAS ENGAGED 4WD LOCK AND HAS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPLACED THE ACTUATOR, SAID IT WAS THE TIPM, AND SAID IT WAS AN AC RELAY PRESSURE SWITCH. THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS AS OF 12/24/14. HAS BEEN TO 5 DIFF. DODGE DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND MAY NOT HAPPEN FOR 6 MONTHS. 4WD LO LIGHT FLASHES AND SERV 4WD LIGHT COMES ON. DIFFERENT SERVICE CODES COME UP WHEN DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT IT. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS TRUCK. *JS

  MOTOR STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AFTER GETTING GAS AND SOUNDS HAS BROKE IN MOTOR AND IS MAKING A TAPPING NOISE BAD

• 12/30/2017· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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

• 12/30/2010· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH MALFUNCTION ON 2007 DODGE RAN 1500. TURN SIGNAL SIGNALS WRONG DIRECTION ON OCCASION (BASED ON FIRST EXPERIENCE THIS GETS WORSE WITH TIME) AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE TURN SIGNAL ISSUE CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD WHEN YOU INTEND TO TURN OR CHANGE LANES ONE DIRECTION AND YOUR TURN SIGNAL IS INDICATING THE OPPOSITE OF YOUR INTENTION. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ISSUE CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THEY FAIL TO OPERATE IN THE RAIN. HAD THE SWITCH REPLACED IN 2008 OR 2009 AROUND 30K MILES AND IT IS NOW FAILING AGAIN AT 59,000 MILES. *TR

• 12/30/2010· POWER TRAIN

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

• 12/30/2009· POWER TRAIN

  FRONT END VIBRATES WHEN IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND ACCELERATING FAST. DODGE DEALERSHIP STATES ITS NORMAL ON TRUCK (BASICALLY IT WASN'T BUILT RIGHT BUT DODGE DOESN'T CARE). SHOWED ME ANOTHER 07 RAM 1500 DID THE SAME THING. *TR

• 12/28/2016· AIR BAGS

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

• 12/27/2014· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  CANNOT ADD FUEL TO VEHICLE TANK. STOPS AFTER A FEW SECONDS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT KNOCKED THE PLASTIC BALL INTO THE TANK (THINKING THIS WOULD WORK, IT DIDN'T) THAT STOPS GAS SIPHONING. STILL CANNOT FILL TANK. TRUCK HAS 91,000 MILES AND HAVE ALWAYS PUT THE SAME GAS (93 OCTANE) . *TR

• 12/26/2016· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  AFTER THE FUEL TANK IS COMPLETELY FILLED AND THE GAS STATION REFUELING PUMP STOPS ABOUT A HALF A GALLON OF GASOLINE WILL VIOLENTLY SPRAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE'S REFUELING TUBE. THIS CREATES A PUDDLE OF FUEL AND OFTEN SPRAYS ON ME. THE SPRAY COMES OUT OF THE HOLE YOU INSERT THE REFUELING NOZZLE INTO. I OWED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE SAME ENGINE THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I'M SURE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MANUFACTURER.

• 12/14/2014· VISIBILITY

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

  I FILED A COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE AIRBAGS ON MY 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. CHRYSLER CONTACTED ME TO TELL ME I NEEDED TO CALL MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FIXED. I EXPLAINED TO THEM I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERS AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME I WILL BE ADDED TO A WAIT LIST WITH NO ANSWER AS TO HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE THEY REACH MY NAME AND THAT I AM ALSO ON A WAIT LIST TO HAVE THE PART PUT IN ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBACK WHICH I TOOK IN FOR A RECALL IN EARLY 2015! IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY EMAILED SAYING THEY TRIED TO CONTACT ME VIA PHONE AT A NUMBER WHICH IS INCORRECT. I HAVE GIVEN THEM MY CURRENT PHONE NUMBER ON MULTIPLE TIMES. I JUST GET THE RUN AROUND WHEN I TRY TO CALL THEM. I AM NOW GETTING EMAILS FROM THEM ABOUT THIS RECALL AS IF THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER THEIR ASSES BUT WHEN I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ITS ALWAYS THE SAME RESPONSE AND THAT IS I WILL BE PUT ON A WAITLIST. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I WOULD LIKE IT REMEDIED . I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER TWO YEARS GOING ON THREE FOR THESE NEW PARTS TO BE INSTALLED.

STILL WORKING TO RESOLVE THE MATTER, NEARLY A MONTH LATER. SEATBELT REMAINS STUCK IN BUCKLE AND UNABLE TO BE RELEASED. I REFUSE TO PAY $516 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED.

  I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 3 MONTHS AGO. THE CARFAX SHOWED THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I WENT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP IN GREENWOOD SC TO GET RECALL FIXED. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO TAKATA RECALL, BUT THE DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT YET. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK 3 MONTHS, AND STILL NO WORD ON GETTING IT FIXED.

• 11/16/2017· STEERING

  I WAS TOLD THE CLOCK SPRING WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CLICKING NOISE. WHEN THE TECH GOT INTO THE STEERING TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM IF THE STEERING COLUMN SHOULD LOCK UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND MAKE MY TRUCK SAFE AGAIN WAS TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN.
