2004 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

DT: CONSUME ROWNED A 2004 DODGE 1500 RAM. SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING. ONCE IT CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO BUMP A BRICK WALL. WHICH CAUSED A SLIGHT DENT IN THE BUMPER. IT HAS A VIBRATION THAT SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. WHEN THE DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT SHOWING THE CODES FOR THESE PROBLEMS. AFTER FIVE TRIES THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO GET THE DOOR LOCK FIXED. AS FOR THE OTHER PROBLEMS THE DEALER PUT A NEW COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK, AND THEN THE PROBLEMS CAME BACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS THE ONE THAT SAID TO PUT THE NEW COMPUTER IN. *AK

DODGE RAM 1500 YEAR 2004 PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON MARCH THE VEHICLE HAD 22 MILES ON IT WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURED IT HAD APPROX. 10,000 MILES. PROBLE DEFECTIVE AXLE AND OR RIM. NOTE: PREVIOUS TIRE BLOW OUT RIM TOTALED AND REPAIRED THAT RIM WAS PLACED ON THE TRUCK AND THE TIRES ROTATION AND THAT RIM WENT TO THE LEFT REAR AXLE, TIRE IS LOST.

I HAVE AN 04 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI,WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT ANY GIVEN TIME TRUCK JUST SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY.I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.NOW LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING UP THE STREET THE TRUCK SHUT OFF ONE MORE TIME CAUSING ME TO HIT A GUIDE RAIL.I FEEL THE TRUCK IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND PERSONALLY DONT WANT IT ANYMORE.

AFTER RANDOM AMOUNTS OF NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDOMETER STARTS BOUNCING AT IDLE FROM 0-5 MPH THEN ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AFTER ARIVING AT DEALER I WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY A LEAKING ABS CONNECTOR THAT WAS "IMPROPERLY DESIGENED" AND ALL THEY COULD DO WAS CLEAN IT OUT AND FILL IT WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC GREASE . I WAS ALSO TOLD (BY MORE THAN ONE DEALER)THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS BEEN NO HELP OTHER THAN LETTING ME LODGE A COMPLAINT AND SENDING ME A LETTER OF APOLOGY BOTH TIMES HAPPENED UNDER 9,000 MILES AND THANKFULLY HAVE NOT HAPPEND AGAIN (I'M AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES)

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAPPENED WHILE SITTING STILL AND JUST RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 15 MPH. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING BEFORE STALLING, AND NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON AFTER STALLING. THE VEHICLE WILL IMMEDIATELY START RIGHT BACK UP. THIS HAPPENED FOR SIX MONTHS AT LEAST. THE IDLE WAS JUMPING. THE CONSUMER THOUGHT THAT THE IDLING AND STALLING PROBLEMS WERE RELATED. THE VEHICLE HAD IDLE PROBLEMS SINCE JANUARY 21, 2004. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES, AND WAS ON THE WAY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND REFERRED THE CUSTOMER BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. ALSO, THE MANUFACTURER TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THIS PROBLEM BELONGED TO THE DEALER. *AK (11/08/05) *SC

I HAVE A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI. WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK ON APRIL 20, 2004 & STARTED HAVING THE STALLING PROBLEM ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAS THE TRUCK 2 1/2 TO 3 DAYS. THE TRUCK DOES NOT STALL WHILE THE ACCELERATOR IS ENACTED. THE RPM GAUGE WILL FLUTTER WHEN STOPPED & THEN IT WILL DROP & THE TRUCK WILL DIE. SOME DAYS THE TRUCK WILL STALL ONLY ONCE OR TWICE & OTHER DAYS THE TRUCK WILL STALL UP TO 20 TO 30 TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: FAULT CODE, P0261, REPLACED PCM FOR ERRACTIC SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL. R&R PAN & REPLACED TRANS FILTER PER STAR 1763 WD94 0.80. 5094274AA MODULE-POWERTRAIN CONTROL, 5015267AC FILTER PKG-POWERTRAIN CONTROL, 5010884AA SEALER, 5 ATF BULK - +4.

2004 RAM 1500 HEMI SPORT QC HAD TERRIBLE SHIMMY IN FRONT END UPON STOPPING AND TRUCK WAS HARD TO CONTROL. DEALER STATED ROTORS WERE WARPED AND TURNED THEM. THIS WAS AT 9500 MILES. AGAIN AT 15000 MILES TRUCK IS DOING SAME THING. DEALER SAID THEY WOULD TURN THEM AGAIN BUT THAT WAS ALL. SAID THEY COULD TURN THEM AS MANY TIMES AS THEY WANTED. SAID THEY TURNED THEM BUT THE WHEELS HAVEN'T BEEN REMOVED FROM TRUCK. DEALER OR DODGE UNWILLING TO FIX PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH BOTH ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. BACK ROTOR IS WARPED AND HAS BAD GROVES IN IT. FEEL I AM GETTING BUM DEAL ON 36000 DOLLAR TRUCK.

I OWN A 2004 RAM 1500. THIS IS TRUCK NUMBER 2 OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I WAS WITH THE LAST. 1. THE ROTORS AND BRAKES ARE WEARING PREMATURELY. 2. IT HAS STALLED ON OCCASION USUALLY WHEN DECELERATING TO MAKE A TURN. 3. THE TRANSMISION WILL HIT A "FLAT" SPOT WHEN EXCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. 4. THE RADIO DOES NOT DISPLAY PROPERLY WHILE OPPERATING. IT PUTS OUT JIBBERISH OF NUMBERS AND LETTERS. I SAY THIS IS TRUCK NUMBER TWO BECAUSE I WENT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND COMPLAINED OF THE SAME EXCACT PROBLEMS SEVERAL TIMES ON TRUCK ONE. THEY WERE LESS THAN HELPFULL BLAMING EVERYTHING OTHER THAN THE TRUTH. I TRADDED THE FIRST TRUCK IN AND SITED MY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY THEN STATED THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BAD BATCH. THEY PAID OFF THE FIRST TRUCK AND I BOUGHT THE SECOND ONE. NOW I REGRET THAT DECISION. I SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH MY INSTINCTS AND CONTACTED MY LAWYER. BECAUSE IT IS STILL THE SAME PROBLEMS IN A DIFFERENT TRUCK. THAT IS NOT A LEMMON ITS A POORLY BUILT TRUCK FETCHING TOP DOLLAR FOR THEIR COMPANY, WHO WILL DO NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM HOPPING WE GO AWAY OR OUT OF WARRENTY!! .

AT 15,000 MILES ON VEHICLE -- VIBRATION, SOMETIMES SEVERE, WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH. DEALER FOUND ALL 4 ROTORS WARPED. AFTER 3 TRIPS BACK THEY PERFORMED REPAIRS AUTHORIZED BY CHRYSLER IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 05-001-05 (REPLACE PADS, HUB, CUT ROTORS). DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING ELSE HE CAN DO.

STALLING 2004 DODGE HEMI SPORT---STALLS UPON BREAKING OR COASTING AT AN INTERSECTION. BRAKES MAKE HIGH PITCH RINGING NOISE EVERYTIME BUT DEALER SAYS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER. BEEN IN 4 TIMES FOR REPAIR, CO-PILOT INSTALLED TO TRY TO RETRIEVE ALTERNATIVE PICTURES OF SYSTEM SINCE NO CODES WERE SENT DURING SHUT DOWN. DEALER COULD NOT REPEAT STALLING, NOR COULD THEY RETRIEVE ANY INFO WITH CO-PILOT. NOW CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED THE DEALER THEY ARE NOT TO TOUCH MY VEHICLE ANY MORE FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE THEY CAN NOT REPEAT THE STALLING THEMSELVES. NOW I'M WAITING TO MEET WITH THE REGIONAL MANAGER OF CHRYSLER TO DISCUSS BUY BACK.

MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 WITH 5.7 HEMI MOTOR STALLS WHEN APPROAHING A STOP. DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT FAIRLY REGULAR. IT ALWAYS COMES AS A SUPRISE, RPMS DROP TO @ 400, ENGINE VIBRATES AND STOPS. IT ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT UP. IT DOES IT WHEN HOT OR COLD, BUT MORE WHEN COLD. MANY TIMES THE RPMS JUST DROP, ENGINE VIBRATES A LITTLE AND STAYS RUNNING. DEALER HAD TRUCK 3 TIMES, FIRST TWO THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM, EVEN THAT I VIDEO TAPED THE CONDITIONS WHILE DRIVING, 3RD TIME THEY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. TODAY, IT IS IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 4TH TIME FOR THE SAME THING. I EXPLAINED IT MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT DOWN SHIFTING RIGHT ON STOPPING, AS SHORTLY AFTER I HAD A TRANSMISSION SENDING UNIT REPLACED, RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE, IT STARTED ACTING THIS WAY

DT: CONTACT STATES: AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A HEAD ON COLLISION. HE CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND HE SAID THAT THE AIR BAGS WORKED PROPERLY AND WERE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY AT THAT IMPACT. *AK

2004 DODGE RAM PICK UP, STALLING PROBLEMS. HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I COME TO A STOP. SEEMS TO BE ON VERY HOT DAYS FOR SOME REASON, BUT NOT EVERY TIME. DEALER ATTEMPTED FIX WITH CHRYSLER DOWNLOAD PROGRAM AND FAILED. BACK AGAIN FOR SECOND ATTEMPT, NOW WE ARE IN TEST MODE.

DODGE RAM 1500 W/5.7 HEMI STALLS. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED DOZENS OF TIMES, AND APPEARS TO OCCUR MOST FREQUENTLY DURING NO OR LIGHT THROTTLE CONDITIONS SUCH AS DRIVING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS OR DOWN A LONG GRADE. STALLS HAVE ALSO OCCURRED WHEN SWITCHING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE (IN PARKING LOTS) AND DURING THE FIRST START-UP OF THE DAY IF THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING. NINETY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE TIME, THERE IS NO WARNING (IE, STUMBE) THAT THE ENGINE IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AT MANY DEALERSHIPS, NONE OF WHOM WERE ABLE TO RETRIEVE ANY CODES. DUE TO OUR PERSISTENCE AND CONCERN, TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS HAVE SINCE REFUSED TO WORK ON OUR TRUCK. THUS FAR, DODGE DEALERS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO BLAME THIS PROBLEM ON A POORLY CONNECTED BATTERY AND HAVE SUPPOSEDLY "ADJUSTED THE THROTTLE BODY BLADE" TO ALLOW MORE AIR INTO THE ENGINE DURING LIGHT/NO THROTTLE CONDITIONS. I AM QUITE FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS AND FIND THIS REPAIR RATHER DISTURBING. IT IS NOT YET KNOWN IF THIS "REPAIR" HAS AFFECTED VEHICLE EMISSIONS. IN LIGHT OF PE05-027, I WILL BE FORWARDING RELEVANT PAPERWORK AND CORRESPONDENCE TO THE ATTENTION OF STEPHEN SPETH.

I OWN AND HAVE TAKEN IN MY DODGE RAM 1500 SEVERAL TIMES FOR STALLING. ON TWO SEPERATE OCASSIONS THE DEALER/SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. ON 6/1/05 MY TRUCK STALLED ONCE AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME I WAS ACCELERATING. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID,"YOUR TRUCK IS ONE OF FOUR THAT WE CANNOT FIX."

ME AND MY FAMILY WERE RETURNING HOME FROM A ALL DAY TRIP IN OHIO WHEN MY RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPLODED ALMOST CAUSING A FATAL ACCIDENT. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS MY REAR TIRE.THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED OFF THE MARKET.THEY ARE THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER SRA 265/70R/17 TIRES THIS TIRE ONLY HAD 20171 MILES AND WAS ORIGINAL ON MY 2004 DODGE QUAD PICKUP. HOW MANY DEATHS ARE AND WILL BE THE RESULT OF THIS TIRE?

WHEN BRAKING/STOPING THE ENGINE WILL STALL, DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED STALLING PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND AN UPDATE TO SOFTWARE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT. DODGE DOES NOT KNOW THE RELEASE DATE OF SOFTWARE.

DT: THE CONSUMER'S 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING THE 2004 DODGE RAM PICKUP ON 5-24-05, AND THE DRIVER PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. WHEN THE STEERING WAS TURNED IT KEPT ON GOING AROUND AND AROUND BOTH WAYS. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS CONNECTED TO NOTHING AT THAT POINT. DRIVER WAITED TILL TRAFFIC CLEARED, AND DRIVER HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR THE POLICE TO COME AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. THE VEHICLE IS NOW BEING TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE OWNER HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER, AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER IS LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT.*AK

AT 6:45 AM AS I APPROACHED A RED STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE DIED. I NOTICED IT BECAUSE THE BREAKING AND STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT. IT RESTARTED EASILY AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK WITHOUT ANY OTHER PROBLEMS.

THIS HAPPEN TO ME THREE TIMES THE FIRST TIME DECEMBER 2003 TWO MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED JUNE 2004, AND THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED SEPTEMBER 2004. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE HIGH ABOUT 30 TO 35 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK STALLED. I HAD NO INDICATION THAT IT STALLED EXCEPT FOR LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD ABOUT 35 TO 40MPH. I WAS COMING UP ON A CURVE IN THE ROAD, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. AGAIN I LOST POWER STEERING, AND CAME CLOSE TO GOING INTO THE DITCH WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD BOY. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TWICE FOR THIS, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE COMPUTER IN THE ENGINE PROBRABLY JUST RESET ITSELF, AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER TO DODGE, AND SENT IT IN WITH THEIR SURVEY AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT, AND HAVEN'T HEARD BACK.

MY DODGE RAM WITH THE 5.7 (HEMI) ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. EXAMPLES INCLUDE STOP LIGHTS, AND DRIVING CONDITIONS RANGING FROM 20-65MPH. DODGE SERVICED THE VEHICLE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WAS 5/18/05. I AM AWAITING WORD ON THE CURRENT CONDITION OF MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP...REM

TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW, PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 1000 MILES. TRUCK STALLS, USUALLY HAPPENS AT SLOWER SPEEDS SUCH AS WHEN YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS PETAL TO TURN. IDLE DROPS VERY QUICKLY AND THE ENGINE STALLS. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING SOMEONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO STOP OR TURN WHEN YOU LOOSE POWER, YOU ALSO LOOSE THE POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY DID AN UPDATE ON MY COMPUTER. UPDATE HAS NOT STOPPED THIS FROM HAPPENING. DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME A NEW UPDATE WILL BE OUT SOON, BUT THAT WAS 5 WEEKS AGO, AND IT STILL HAS NOT HAPPENED. IN THE MEANTIME THE VEHICLE STILL STALLS OUT WHEN YOU ARE MOVING!

MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 W/5.7 HEMI HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. FOR SOME REASON, I HAD A HARD TIME GETTING IT TO START PRIOR TO IT STALLING ON BOTH OCCASSIONS.

OUR TRUCK HAS STALLED APROX. 15-20 TIMES WHILE WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR WHILE MAKING TURNS. IT HASN'T RESULTED IN ANY ACCIDENTS YET, BUT THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES WHEN WE ARE MAKING A TURN AND IT STALLS ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE TRAFFIC IS COMING TWOARDS US. I FEEL THAT WE HAVE ONLY SO MUCH TIME BEFORE THIS CAUSES A BAD ACCIDENT. OUR TRUCK IS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 5.7 LITER HEMI. I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER, BECAUSE I'VE READ MANY OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND MY 3 YEAR OLD SON IN THE TRUCK, NOT TO MENTION THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE IN THE OTHER CARS.

2004 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB HEMI. AT 10,000 MILES LOTS OF STEERING WHEEL SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING. DEALER REPLACED ROTORS, PADS AND CALIPERS UNDER WARRANTY. AT ABOUT 17,000 I START GETTING THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER REPACED AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EPIDEMIC AND I SEE PEOPLE ARE GETTING CHARGED TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP 5 TIMES IN 15,000 MILES. THE STEERING WAS REPAIRED AND IT HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES SINCE THE REPAIR. SPEED HAS NO IMPACT ON THE STEERING LOCKING UP. IT GENERALLY HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS WARMING UP JUST FROM BEING STARTED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH ENGINE STALLED AND LOST COMPLETE POWER. *AK THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AT LOW SPEED, AND WHILE COMING TO STOP(S) BOTH UP OR DOWN HILL AT LOW SPEEDS. DODGE SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEM, BUT CAN NOT RESOLVE AT THIS TIME. *BF *NM

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH DOWN A HILL THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE/RIM DETACHED FROM THE TRUCK. VEHICLE VEERED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

NO FURTHER CONTACT BY THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS TIME. *AK

IT HAS TO BE COMPLETELY STOPPED, PUT IN PARK THEN RESTARTED. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY DEALER IT MAYBE 6-8 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN FIX IT BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER WAS REDESIGNING THE PCM. *BF *NM

WARPED ROTORS AT 9,000 AND THE FRONT END JUMPS ALL OVER THE ROAD MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO STEER, THE DEALER RESURFACED ROTORS AND THEN AT 13,000 MILES IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. WE HAVE COMPLAIN SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS AND GOT NO WEAR. NOW THAT OUR WARRANTY IS UP I GUESS WE GET STUCK REPLACING THE ROTORS AFTER PAYING 35,000.00 FOR OUR DODGE, WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SMALLER SUV ALSO AND WILL PROBABLY NOT BUY ANOTHER DODGE, CHRYSLER,PRODUCT AGAIN. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH OUR TAHOE @ OVER 60,000 MILES.I THINK THIS IS UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS! PLEASE HELP INVESTAGATE THIS MATTER. P.S. I SEEN A ADV.FOR DODGE 2500 AND IT SAID LARGEST BRAKES IN CLASS THAT IS A JOKE!*AK

I HAVE A 2004, DODGE 1500 SLT RAM, HEMI SPORT, WITH 5422 MILES ON IT, AND ON FEB 21, 2005, I WATCHED AS MY TRUCK BURNED TO THE GROUND ( LITERALLY ), I SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE PLASTIC OR BURNT WIRE WHILE DRIVING, JUST PRIOR TO DISCOVERING MY ( NOW ) PARKED TRUCK, SMOLDERING IN MY BACK YARD. I WENT TO INVESTIGATE THE SMOLDERING, AND OPEN THE TRUCK DOOR AFTER NOT SEEING ANY FLAME; HOWEVER, ONCE I OPENED THE DOOR IT WAS AS IF SOMEONE HAD LITE A FLAME THROWER, AND POINTED IT IN MY DIRECTION. THE FIRE CONSUMED THE VEHICLE SO RAPIDLY, I AM SURE I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TIME TO REMOVE A INFANT FROM IT'S CAR SEAT, HAD MY SON BEEN IN THE TRUCK. I ALLOWED DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO SEND AN ENGINEER NAMED BOB WHIPPLE OUT HERE TO MY HOME. HE TOOK JUST A FEW PICTURES, JERKED ON A FEW WIRES, THEN RETURNED TO WHERE EVER HE CAME FROM. HE PROMISED ME A COPY OF HIS REPORT; HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER, THEY BLEW ME OFF WITH A " HEY! IT'S NOT OUR FAULT", LETTER, I TRIED CALLING THEM AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NO OTHER INFORMATION FOR ME, EVEN THOUGH THEIR VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY FAILED ELECTRICALLY, AND WAS UNDER FULL WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END POPPED FOLLOWED BY THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SEPARATING FROM THE TRUCK. WHEN THIS OCCURRED VEHICLE SHARPLY PULLED TO THE LEFT AND COLLIDED WITH A POLE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING YARD, THEN TO A BODY SHOP. THE BODY SHOP OR THE INSURANCE COMPANY COULDN'T INDICATE WHAT POPPED AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO SEPARATE. *AK

I OWN A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 POWERED BY THE HEMI ENGINE. I HAVE TALKED WITH TIMBERLINE DODGE LOCATED IN PORTLAND OR ABOUT A PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLING FOR NO REASON. ALL THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID WAS ADD ME TO A LIST OF OVER 30 OTHER CAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. TODAY I WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIENT AS THE RESULT OF THE ENGINE QUITTING WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS ENTERING A BUSY PARKING LIST WHEN I WAS SUDDENLY CONFRONTED WITH A STEERING WHEEL THAT WOULD NOT TURN AND BRAKES THAT WERE INEFFECTIVE. I HAVE RESEARCHED FURTHER AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF VEHICLE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURENCES SINCE PLEASE HELP.*AK

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN MY VEHICLE IN DRIVE WOULD NOT GO FORWARD IE.TRANSMISSION SLIPPING,MOTOR REVING UP!*AK

THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE POWER WINDOWS ARE ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DODGE OF BURNSVILLE, WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DUPLICATED BY THE MECHANIC. I CAN NOW INDUCE THIS PROBLEM CONSISTANTLY BY ACTIVATING THE POWER WINDOWS. *AK

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THERE WAS HEAVY VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR END. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WE HAD AN ENGINE FIRE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN BOERNE, TX, WHERE THEY FIXED IT, BUT DID NOT REPORT THE INCIDENT TO CHRYSLER. WE WORRY ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN, AND ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR EXPLANATION. WE FEAR WE MAY HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM. CHRYSLER WANTS US TO DEAL WITH OUR INSURANCE CO., BUT THEY NEVER WERE INVOLVED, EXCEPT FOR THE RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE OURS WAS BEING REPAIRED.*AK
