2003 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

RECALL ON AIRBAG REPLACED 9/2017. NOW PASSENGER SEATBELT ORC MODULE BAD AND NOT AVAILABLE FROM MANUFACTURER OR SAFETY RECALL

DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE REAR END IS COMPLETELY OUT NOW TOO!

BLEND DOORS IN THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE ARE KNOWN TO BREAK CAUSING NO HEAT TO BE DIVERTED TO THE DEFROSTER CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD CAN NOT BE PROPERLY DEFROSTED. THIS CAN CAUSE VISIBILITY CONCERNS WHICH CAN RESULT IN A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 319,000. *TT

I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES REGARDING NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V-821. THEY STATE THAT THERE IS STILL NO FIX FOR MODEL YEAR 2013 RAM TRUCKS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE.

MY DAUGHTER GOT ABOUT 300 FEET FROM THE HOUSE AND SAID THE "BRAKES FELT FUNNY" SO SHE DECIDED TO TURN AROUND AT THE CORNER. WELL, SHE SIMPLY TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL BROKE CLEAN OFF AT THE HUB. I THANK GOD SHE WAS GOING LESS THAN 5MPH. HER ROUTE THAT DAY WOULD HAVE PUT HER ON THE HIGHWAY AND IF THIS HAD HAPPENED THEN......I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. THE REPAIR SHOP TOOK PICTURES AND SAID THEY'D PROVIDE WHATEVER INFO I NEEDED. WELL, WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR CHRYSLER TO RECALL THIS A LONG TIME AGO. I UNDERSTAND THE TRUCK HAS SOME MILES ON IT BUT I WAS SHOCKED TO GO ONLINE AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IF ANYBODY HAS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES, THEY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE THE HUBS CHECKED....ESPECIALLY ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AS THAT SEEMS TO BE THE MAIN ISSUE FROM WHAT I'VE READ.

EXTREME RUST AND CORROSION ABOVE BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR WHEEL WELLS. DOOR LOCKS WILL RANDOMLY LOCK BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING, STOPPED OR IN PARK. HAS LOCKED ME OUT AFTER STEPPING OUT TO OPEN A GATE, HAD TO GO GET A SPARE SET OF KEYS TO UNLOCK.

THE REAR END ON MY RAM 1500 HEMI 1500 GEAR IS MAKING A HUMMING SOUND CONSTANTLY, IT NEVER STOPS. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE PART AND I CAN'T FIND ONE, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ONE. PLEASE HELP!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, SMOKE AND FLAMES SUDDENLY APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE SMOKE QUICKLY ENGULFED THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES AND A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE REAR DIFFERENTIALS GEARS SEIZED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE AND COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 122,000.

ON FEBRUARY 11, 2018, WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM EMT TRAINING, I HEARD A WHINING NOISE AND THEN BOOM. PINION NUT BACKED OFF, DROPPED DOWN INTO THE GEAR AREA CAUSING MY DRIVE SHAFT AND YOKE TO BREAK AND MY REAR END TO LOCK UP, PUTTING ME INTO A SKID. I FOUND 35 OTHER COMPLAINTS WHERE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WAS NOTIFIED AND NOTHING WAS DONE. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THE 2WD TRUCKS WERE RECALLED BUT NOT THE 4WD. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATION, I WAS TOLD TO KEEP MY RECEIPTS AND IF ANY RECALLS WERE TO COME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY PUT MY LIFE AND MY FAMILIES LIVES IN DANGER AND WILL NOT HONOR THEIR MISTAKE.

'TAKATA RECALL'. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: R26 SUMMARY: THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE, DUE TO EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE, DURING NORMAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. SAFETY RISK: AN INFLATOR RUPTURE COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT(S). REMEDY: THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MUST BE REPLACED. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE

THE TRUCK RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO WARNING AND NO PATTERN. THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES ASSOCIATED WITH THESE OCCURRENCES. WHEN TRUCK SHUTS OFF THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AND IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO STEER. A QUICK CHECK ONLINE SHOWS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NO SPECIFIC FIX.

DASH CRACKED

THE DASH PAD HAS SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK ACROSS THE TOP. I'M CONCERNED THAT SHOULD MY AIRBAG DEPLOY, THIS PIECE WILL SHATTER AND CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEFLATE PREMATURELY, OR CAUSE INJURY FROM PLASTIC SHARDS. THIS OCCURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND UNOCCUPIED.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FLAT, PAVED ROAD A SUDDEN SMALL GRINDING NOISE WAS DETECTED. WITHOUT WARNING, THE REAR AXLE FROZE AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. AS THE VEHICLE SLID TO A STOP, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD. AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING A QUICK VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF AND WAS HANGING DOWN. A LARGE AMOUNT OF VISCOUS FLUID WAS SPILLED ON THE ROAD. THE TRUCK WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD AT THIS POINT DUE TO THE LOCKING OF THE REAR WHEELS AND LACK OF A FUNCTIONING DRIVE SHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS ON A BLIND CURVE ON A WELL TRAVELED ROAD AND THE POLICE WERE CALLED. IT WAS NECESSARY FOR THE OFFICER TO REMAIN AND DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND A CLAIM (# 32479801) WAS FILED VIA THE DODGE CUSTOMER CARE HOTLINE.

TAKATA RECALL. LIKE MANY OTHER DODGE 1500 OWNERS, MY DASH HAS CRACKED AND I CANNOT GET THE RECALL FIXED. BECAUSE IT IS CRACKED THE DEALER WONT TOUCH THE AIR BAGS EVEN THOUGH IT STATES SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN OCCUR IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF.

DASHBOARD CRACKING AND FALLING APART CREATING SHARP HARD PLASTIC SECTIONS/PIECES THAT CAN BECOME INJURIOUS PROJECTILES IN AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO FIND A DEALER WITH PARTS FOR THE RECALL AND TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE REPAIR. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME TO INFORM ME THAT HE COULD NOT ASSURE ME THAT FURTHER CRACKING OF THE DASH WOULDN'T OCCUR DURING THE REPAIR PROCEDURE. I SAID THEN IF YOU DAMAGE IT THEN I WILL HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE. HE SAID HE COULD NOT PROCEED WITHOUT ME BASICALLY INDEMNIFYING HIM. I WOULD NOT AGREE TO THAT. THE CRACKED DASH IS OF ITSELF A SAFETY PROBLEM SHOULD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AND SEND DASH FRAGMENTS FLYING. IF THEY CRACKED IT FURTHER, THEN IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE UNSAFE. I THINK TAKATA HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY ALONG WITH CHRYSLER TO FIX THE DASH SINCE THE DASH WAS MADE WITH INFERIOR OR DEFECTIVE MATERIALS AS EVIDENCED BY THE WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH DODGE RAM DASHES.

JUST BOUGHT THIS VEICLE SECOND OWNER OF SAID VEHICLE LOOK IT ALL OVER. BROUGHT IT TO A.DEALER SHIP TO HAVE A STATE INSPECTION PERFORMED AND THE FRAME CRUNCHED ON THE LIFT. NOTE THE FRAME STILL HAD BLACK PAINT ON IT FROM.FACTORY. THE FRAME LITERALLY ROTTED FROM INSIDE OUT. AND IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY ON WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS FRAME HAS NOT LASTED ANYWHERE NEAR THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE VEHICLE 20 YRS. AND THERE ARE WAY OLDER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD THAT STILL ARE PERFECT. TOYOTA GETS A FRAME RECALL BUT THIS DODGE WON'T AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS SO. THIS IS A PROBLEM CONSIDERING IT'S ROTTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I SEE FRAMES BRAKING WHILE DRIVING THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
