WE HAD THE EXACT THING HAPPEN TO US. WE WHERE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD BANG. THE REAR END OF OUR TRUCK WENT OUT. WE WHERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERES AND HAD TO BE TOWED ABOUT 150 MILES. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM "FRIDAY'S RECALL MARKS THE THIRD TIME CHRYSLER HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THE DODGE RAM'S REAR AXLE." HOWEVER WHEN WE PUT OUR VIN NUMBER INTO THE SYSTEM IT STATES OUR TRUCK IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. HOW DO WE REPLACE THIS? IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES. I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES WERE ACTING STRANGELY -- SPONGY AND NOT BRAKING PROPERLY. THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL BRAKES. ON 8/4/2015, I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALL WORK DONE FOR AIRBAGS. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP INDICATING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AGREED TO THE WORK. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE TRUCK, I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY HAD A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFICULTY EVEN PUTTING THE BRAKES BACK TOGETHER AND THAT SOMETHING WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY ON MY TRUCK WHEN IT WAS BUILT! SINCE THIS INCIDENT, I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO OWNS THE "SAME" TRUCK AS MINE -- 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI -- AND HIS BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED IN HIS DRIVEWAY YESTERDAY! I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE "OFFICIALS" AWARE OF THIS IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS AN UNKNOWN, ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEMS OF 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 PICK-UP TRUCKS.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
