FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILS, SHORTS OUT CAUSING DOOR LOCKS TO CONSTANTLY UNLOCK CYCLE KILL BATTERY & ELECTRICAL FAILURE CAUSING ENGINE TO DIE. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS STORIES OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN 2004-2005 DODGE RAM PICKUPS. DEALERSHIP CHARGES $1000 DOLLARS TO FIX & ADMITS IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT REFUSES TO HELP. FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES CUSTOMER SERVICE ALSO REFUSES TO HELP.
ON SEPT. 21 2015, DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I EXPERIENCED WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO DROP THE DRIVE SHAFT OUT OF THE REAR AXLE OF MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH WITH VEHICLES ALL AROUND ME WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. NOW I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT 2005 DODGE RAMS 1500 SERIES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE DATES OF JAN 28TH 2004-AUG. 3RD 2005 ARE ALL A PART OF THIS TYPE OF RECALL, KNOWN AS P77 RECALL. WHAT ABOUT DODGE RAM 2004 1500 SERIES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED IN JUNE OF 2004. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME TIME THAT THE 2005'S WOULD HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED. I AM QUESTIONING WHY AREN'T THE 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 SERIES TRUCKS UNDER THIS SAME P77 RECALL SINCE THEY WERE STILL BEING MANUFACTURED WITHIN THIS SAME TIME PERIOD OF THE 2005'S. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER/DODGE CORP. LOOKED INTO THE 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 SERIES TRUCKS THAT MAY HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM DUE TO BEING MANUFACTURED IN THIS SAME TIME PERIOD? ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED, IS I AM BEING TOLD BY AUTO PARTS SALE ASSOCIATES THAT THEY CAN NOT SELL ME THIS DRIVE SHAFT OR REAR AXLE DUE TO MY TRUCK BEING UNDER THIS P77 RECALL. THOUGH, WHEN I CHECK MY VIN NUMBER UNDER FCA RECALL LOOK UP, I ONLY SEE THE R25 RECALL FOR THE DRIVER AIR BAG INFLATOR, WHICH I AT THIS POINT I CAN'T EVEN GET THIS RECALL REPAIRED BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A WORKING DRIVE SHAFT OR REAR AXLE TO EVEN MOVE MY TRUCK. IT SEEMS AS IF MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS P77 RECALL, THOUGH I AM BEING TOLD IT IS UN

I HAVE RECEIVED AS OF TODAY 3 RECALL NOTICES ON MY VEHICLE CONCERNING SEAT BELTS. I VISITED MY DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING THE FIRST NOTICE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN, I DIDN'T RECORD THAT DATE, I ASSUME IT WAS IN MAY. RECEIVED THE SECOND NOTICE IN JUNE AND WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP 6/25/2015 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME IN JULY AND CORRECT BOTH RECALLS AT THE SAME TIME. RECEIVED THIRD NOTICE TODAY AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM MY DEALERSHIP. LOOKS LIKE CHRYSLER IS BETTER AT SENDING RECALL NOTICES THAN ACTUALLY CORRECTING PROBLEMS????? WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

LAST SPRING, APRIL 2015, I NOTICED THAT MY DEFROSTER WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THE AIR BLOWS OUT OF THE A.C. VENTS, BUT NOT THE TOP DASHBOARD VENTS. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE: 1. HOW WIDESPREAD THE PROBLEM WAS (VERY COMMON IN OLDER VEHICLES; I BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW IN 2004 FROM A DEALER THAT IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS) 2. WHAT THE REACTION FROM DODGE WAS ( $1.500.00 TO REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THEY MUST DO AN AIRBAG RECALL REPAIR IN THE SAME AREA) 3. HOW EXPENSIVE IT WOULD BE TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL REPAIR JOB DONE ( EST. $1,200.00 - $1,500.00) 4. HOW EXPENSIVE/DIFFICULT IT WOULD BE TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR MYSELF (UNIFORMLY INEXPENSIVE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE IN METAL FOR AROUND $50.00, NOT THE CHEAP DODGE PLASTIC) ( DO - IT - YOURSELF INSTRUCTIONS ARE COMPLEX, COUNTER-INTUITIVE, TIME CONSUMING...8 HOURS OR MORE, AND REQUIRE SPECIAL TOOLS AS WELL AS PHYSICAL DEXTERITY) I AM STUCK HAVING TO FIND $1,500.00 FOR A REPAIR, OR DRIVE IN THE FOG THIS WINTER WITH NO DEFROST. ALL BECAUSE OF A $1.500.00 REPAIR BILL FOR A $50.00 PART.
UPON RETURNING HOME FROM A ROUND TRIP OF ABOUT 120 MILES A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL WAS LOCATED IN THE DRIVEWAY WAS NOTICED UNDER THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OF THE VEHICLE. A LARGE METAL PART HAD RIPPED A HOLE IN THE DIFFERENTIAL COVER CAUSING THE OIL TO LEAK OUT. THE METAL PART WAS STILL STICKING OUT OF THE COVER. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO A LOCAL SHOP AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THE CLIP RETAINING THE GEARS ONTO THE CARRIER IN THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD COME LOOSE AND BEEN THROWN THROUGH THE COVER, AND ALL THE FLUID LEAKED OUT. THE ENTIRE DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REBUILT FOR ALMOST $1,800 AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THEN ABOUT A YEAR LATER CHRYSLER DID A RECALL ON THE SAME ISSUE, BUT I WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, WITH NO EXPLANATION. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND I EXPECT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY OUT OF POCKET COSTS, AS WELL AS HAVING THE RECALL DONE TO KEEP FROM HAVING THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN.

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.
