  MY TRUCK HAD 34,754 MILES WHEN I WAS TOLD BOTH OUTTER TIE ROD ENDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AS WELL AS THE LEFT STRUT. I FIND THESE PARTS FAILING THIS EARLY TO BE UNACCEPTABLE. CHRYSLER/RAM REFUSED TO RESPOND TO MY OFFICIAL WRITTEN COMPLAINT LETTER. I REQUESTED A REVIEW AS I FEEL MY TRUCK WAS BUILD WITH DEFECTIVE STEERING PARTS. AS CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO REVIEW THIS SITUATION.

  MY RAM 1500 INEXPLICABLY CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED TO THE GROUND AFTER SITTING OUTSIDE FOR APPROXIMATELY 12 HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED, AS WERE THE BED COVER, THE TAILGATE, AND THE RAM BOXES. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE BED OR RAMBOXES. WE WERE ALERTED TO THE FIRE AT AROUND 6 AM BY 1) AN EXPLOSION AND 2) NEIGHBOR ALERT. WHEN WE WENT OUTSIDE THE TRUCK'S BED WAS ENGULFED IN FIRE, AND THE FIRE LOOKED TO BE FROM UNDERNEATH AND COMING UP AROUND THE BED. THE EXPLOSION WAS EITHER THE SPARE TIRE OR THE GAS TANK. WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS ENGULFED, AND COMPLETELY BURNED/MELTED, ETC., WITHIN 25 OR SO MINUTES WHEN THE FIRE DEPT. FINALLY ARRIVED TO PUT IT OUT. THE FIRE MARSHAL DECLARED THAT THE CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED, AS DID THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S LAB AFTER THEY EXAMINED THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. WE LIVE IN A GATED, VIDEO MONITORED SMALL COMMUNITY AND REVIEW OF THE TAPES SHOWED NO STRANGE ACTIVITY. THERE IS NO HISTORY OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN THIS AREA, AND CERTAINLY NO ARSON. THE GROUND SURROUNDING THE TRUCK WAS WET (IT WAS PARKED ON A CONCRETE PARKING SPACE) AS THE SPRINKLERS HAD RECENTLY RUN (GRASS, SHRUBS). REALLY NOT SURE IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE RAM, BUT GIVEN THAT ARSON ALSO SEEMS VERY UNLIKELY I THOUGHT WE SHOULD DOCUMENT THIS IN CASE THERE ARE OTHER EVENTS. *KB

  MY TRUCK WILL NOT CRANK SOMETIMEA. I PUT A NEW STARTER AND NEW BATTERY ON IT AND IT WORKS FOR A WHILE AND THEN STOPS. ONE TIME THE FUEL PUMP RAN WITH THE TRUCK TURNED OFF MY SERVICE MAN SAYS IT'S THE COMPUTER BOX AND THIS MORNING IT WOULD NOT CRANK AT ALL. THIS PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO FIND, FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL.

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT CHRYSLER IS AT FAULT FOR THIS DEFECT WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE LACK OF LIGHT SIGNALS. THEY NEED TO IDENTIFY AN IMMEDIATE AND A ROBUST FIX TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS IN MY OTHER VEHICLES AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LIGHT SIGNALS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 50 YEARS . ANY INVESTIGATION AND FOLLOW UP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

• 12/19/2011· POWER TRAIN

  WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTED AND SKIDDED TO A NEARLY IMMEDIATE STOP WITH NO NEED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME AS IT SURELY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. IMMEDIATELY, A STRONG FOUL SMELL AND SMOKE WAS NOTICED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND LIFTING THE HOOD, THE SMOKE DISSIPATED IMMEDIATELY, BUT I FOUND LATER THAT PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO AFFECT. EVEN PLACING THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL WOULD NOT ALLOW THE TRUCK TO ROLL. THE TRUCK REQUIRED A FLATBED TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE REAR WHEELS WOULD NOT EASILY ROLL FORWARD, AND WOULD NOT ROLL IN REVERSE. THE TOW DRIVER NEEDED TO PLACE THE REAR WHEELS ON SKIDS AND SLIDE THE TRUCK OFF THE FLATBED. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THEY NEEDED TO FORCIBLY MANIPULATE THE TRANSFER CASE TO GET THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL AS IT WAS SEIZED. THEY HAVE FOUND THAT THE C2 AND UNDERDRIVE CLUTCHES ARE BOTH COMPLETELY DESTROYED, AND THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF METAL SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION OIL AND PAN. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A COMPLETELY DESTROYED CLUTCH ON ANY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WAS SEALED, AND PRESSURE TESTED AS EXPECTED. THEY ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING FOR ROOT CAUSE AND TO BOUND THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. THE TRUCK IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE SAFETY FEATURES OF BOTH A "LIMP MODE" FOR THE TRANSMISSION, AS WELL AS A FURTHER SAFETY FEATURE TO GO INTO NEUTRAL IN SUCH CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, BOTH SAFETY MECHANISMS FAILED IN ADDITION TO THE TRANSMISSION. MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS FAILING IN SUCH A WAY, AND YET IT IS LIKELY (ALREADY POSITIONING WITHOUT ROOT CAUSE) THAT CHRYSLER WILL WANT TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION RATHER THAN REPLACE IT AS THEY SHOULD. I'M NOT CONFIDENT THAT THIS TRANSMISSION CAN BE REPAIRED SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT FAIL AGAIN IN SHORT ORDER. DANGEROUS. *TR

• 12/17/2023· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  This issue has been experienced more than 5 times and only occurs while turning. While making both left and right hand turns, the steering wheel locks mid turn and the engine completely shuts off resulting in the inability to turn in any direction. The first time this happened, I almost went into a ditch and today as I turned to cross an intersection, I lost all steering control and the truck shut down mid turn in the middle of the intersection. This left the truck immobilized in the intersection and facing into oncoming traffic. Following each incident, I put the truck in park and restart it as if there was no issue. There are no warning lights that appear prior to any of the incidents that would indicate an issue and the instrument panel goes dark each time the issue occurs. This is going to get me and/or my family killed one of these days. I have researched this online and there are countless reports from other 2011 Ram owners experiencing the same exact issue. How has a safety recall not been issued for this?

NOW MY TRUCK WILL NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP OFF AND RECENTLY CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WENT DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD. NO POWER AT ALL I HAD TO JUMP OUT QUICKLY AND JUMP MY TRUCK OFF JUST TO GET TO SAFETY. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT DUE TO THIS ISSUE.
