I RECEIVED 3 ADDITIONAL NOTICES SINCE THEN. I CONTACTED WEST HILLS AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE WRONG RECALL PART WAS ORDERED AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 3 MONTHS. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT TO PROCEED ON A MAIN ROAD THE VEHICLE DIED WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT AND CROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK BRIEFLY ACCELERATED AND THEN JUST DIED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 6500 MILES ON IT AND NOW I HAVE 204000 . THIS IS THE 4TH OCCASION IT HAS STALLED WHILE AT LOW SPEED FOR NO REASON. THE LATEST OCCASION JUST OCCURRED ON08/11/15 WHILE I WAS GOING THREW A ROUND ABOUT. I ENTERED THE ROUND ABOUT TURNING SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT ,HALF WAY AROUND COMING OUT OF THE TURN AS IT WAS STRAIGHTENING THE TRUCK JUST SHUT DOWN. IN ALL THE OCCURRENCES I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AT LOWER SPEEDS 30 MPH OR LESS. 2 ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON THE LAST OCCURRENCE I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK WHILE COASTING IN NEUTRAL ,EVEN THOUGH THE SIDE OF THE DASH THAT THE GEAR RANGE IS BURNT OUT SO YOU CANT ACTUALLY SEE WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. ALL THE TIMES IT HAS STALLED IT HAS BEEN DURING SUMMER MONTHS HOT OUTSIDE AND NO PRECIPITATION. AT TIMES THE TRUCK WILL HIT A LOW RPM WHILE AT AN IDLE BUT WILL RECOVER. THE VEHICLE HAS GONE YEARS IN BETWEEN STALLS FIRST 2 WHEN THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN A 80K, AND THE LAST 2 STALL OUTS ABOUT A YEAR APART. NO CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER. TOTALLY RANDOM EVENTS.
WE WHERE ON OUR WAY BACK FROM CALIFORNIA TO ARIZONA ON THE 40. A SMALL HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE, WHEN WE HEARD A VERY LOUD BOOM. NEXT A VERY LARGE CLOUD OF SMOKE CAME FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK, THEN THE TRUCKS REAR END CEASED UP LEAVING US STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE AT NIGHT. TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED JUST TO NEEDLES CA WAS $600.00. WAS THIS PART RECALLED? I CAN NOT FIND THIS INFORMATION ANYWHERE AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CHRYSLER IS DOING ABOUT THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

MY FAMILY AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. (WE HAD JUST HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED ABOUT 4 DAYS PRIOR AT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP.) ALL THE SUDDEN THE TRUCK MAKES THIS SOUND. I SLOWED DOWN, ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS MY VEHICLE OR NOT. VERY FAINT AT FIRST AND INCREASED WITH A LOUD BOOM. I GET OUT TO FIND MY DRIVE SHAFT ON THE GROUND. AND THE PINION NUT NOWHERE TO BE SEEN. GONE. LUCKILY WE WERE ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND MY FAMILY IS SAFE.
TODAY I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD DIAGNOSE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I WAS HAVING IN MY TRUCK. THEY TOLD ME THAT PART # 56045112AE, 56051949AD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHICH ARE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE IGNITION WIRE HARNESS. PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WERE THE POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN WITHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY IN THE UP POSITION. THE MOTOR BLOWERS FOR MY A/C AND HEAT WOULD SOMETIMES NOT WORK. AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON IN THE CLUSTER PANEL. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WIRES WERE BURNT, BUT COULD NOT TELL ME THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THAT THERE MUST BE COMPLETELY TOO MUCH CURRENT GOING THROUGH THOSE WIRES TO CAUSE A PROBLEM LIKE THAT AND THEY AGREED. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE WIRES BEING IN THAT CONDITION THE AIRBAG COULD POSSIBLY GO OFF AT ANY TIME AND/OR CAUSE A FIRE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. WHEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE TRUCKS AND JEEPS. ALSO PART NUMBER 56051949AD HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED SO HOW DO THEY EXPECT TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. MY TRUCK ALSO HAS THE STALLING PROBLEM WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND ACCELERATING.

THE DASHBOARD IN THESE VEHICLES BEGINS TO CRACK OVER TIME DUE TO DEFECTIVE PLASTIC MATERIAL. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE DUE TO THE FACT IT CAN CRACK WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND PIECES OF THE PLASTIC CAN SHOOT INTO THE CAB AND INJURE ANY PASSENGERS. DOGE NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS EVEN THOUGH SOME MODELS ARE OLDER VERSIONS

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI 5.7 IT HAD A BAD ENGINE. AFTER THE ENGINE WAS FIXED, I NOTICE THE TRUCK WOULD JUST STOP RUNNING OR STALL AND NO ENGINE LIGHT. I WOULD START IT BACK UP AND IT WOULD KILL AT ANYTIME I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO TURN OR SLOW DOWN TO STOP. THIS WOULD HAPPEN 2 TO 10 TIMES A DAY. THEN NOT FOR A DAY OR TWO. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN KILL SOMEONE AND I HAD TO STOP MY SON FROM USING THIS TRUCK. BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID HE WOULD GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS MATTER. UPDATED 9/15/15 *LN.... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF *CN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A DEER JUMPED IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A CONCRETE DIVIDER.

MY TRUCK IS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500, THAT ONLY HAS 77,965 MILES. IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS BEGIN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, WITH THE AIR ON. AFTER TRAVELING FOR ABOUT 10 MILES A RED LIGHT FLASHES ON THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN I WAIT FOR ABOUT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND START MY TRUCK BACK UP THE RED LIGHT GOES OFF BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SAME ON UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE MY TRUCK. I LOOKED UP THE CODE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS A CLOGGED THROTTLE BODY. I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENED ON A TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN TWO RECALL IN LESS THAN A MONTH APART.
WHILE DRIVNG 55 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST DIED OUT I HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. ONCE I STOPPED THE TRUCK, I PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNINITION, I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SHOWING A SYMBOL OF A LIGHTENING BOLT, AFTER RESEARCHING I SEE SOME COMMENTS OF IT BEING A WIRE HARNESS OR TRANNY LOOSE WIRING, HAD TRUCK LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES AND WIRES WERE CHECKED, BUT THE TRUCK STILL DIES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE 2013 ALWAYS WHILE DRING MORE THAN 3 HOURS. I NO LONGER TAKE THE TRUCK ON LONG TRIPS, IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, I WAS THANKFUL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON SHOULDER EVRYTIME.
I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SEPARATE RECALLS FOR THE AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE. IN JANUARY I TOOK IT TO TEXAN DODGE IN HUMBLE, TX. FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAGS AND WAS TOLD THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME. THEY PROMISED TO CALL BACK WHEN PARTS AVAILABLE. WE HAVE CHECKED BACK SEVERAL TIME AND STILL NO PARTS. WE RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL ON MAY 29, 2015 FOR THE AIR BAGS AGAIN. WE CONTACTED TEXAN DODGE IN HUMBLE, TX AND STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THE RECALLS ARE NOT WORTH THE PAPER THEY ARE WRITTEN ON AS THERE IS LITTLE RECOURSE FOR ME AS AN OWNER. I GUESS IF THE BAGS BLOW UP AND KILL ME, MY FAMILY CAN SUE CHRYSLER DODGE FOR MY DEATH.

I WAS JUST MADE AWARE OF THE NEW BUY BACK RECALL AND FINE, ON SIMILAR DODGE RAM TRUCKS LIKE MINE. THE RECALL SHOW 2004 DODGE RAM 2600, 3600, BUT NOT MY 1600.

I WOULD LIKE MY INCLUDED IN THE BUY BACK AND GET RID OF THIS LEMON. MY VIN # DOES NOT SHOW ANYTHING BUT AN AIRBAG ISSUE, THAT I NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON. VIN # IS: [XXX].

I CONTACTED DEALER IN FEBRUARY 2015 ABOUT THE RECALL R25-NHTSA-15V-313 AND ITS NOW JULY 2015 AND THEY SAY THEY CN ONLY DO 1 OR 2 TRUCKS A MONTH AND I AM NUMBER 35 ON THE LIST SO AT THIS RATE IT MAY TAKE 2 YEARS TO GET THE TRUCK FIXED UNDER THE RECALL
POPPING AND GRINDING IN REAR END POPPING IN THE CV AXLE FRONT TIRES LEANING IN AND WEARING ON INSIDE WITH NEW TIRES AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT HAVE ADDED NEW CALIPERS ROTORS BRAKES 2 NEW CV AXLES AND THE PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED
AS STATED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT INTERSECTION OF DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF YOU RIDE THE BRAKE AND GAS, YOU CAN KEEP FROM STALLING. THIS INCIDENT STARTED TO HAPPEN AFTER A SMELL OF GAS VAPOR SMELL AFTER FILLING TANK. RESEARCHED STALLING AND GAS SMELL, WAS LED TO OTHER SCALP NOTICE FOR HEMI GAS TANK DUE TO ETHANOL GAS CAUSING THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK TO EXPAND AND NOT CLOSE. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK YOU GET LIQUID GAS IN THE PURGE VAPOR CANISTER AND LINE. THIS GIVING YOU THE GAS SMELL UPON FILLING. I HAVE STOPPED FILLING THE TANK PAST 3/4 AND HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE. KIND OF DISAPPOINTED THAT OTHER HEMI MODELS GAS TANKS WERE RECALLED, BUT NOT THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE.
WHILE COMING TO A STOP REAR END LOCKED. AFTER INSPECTION FOUND DRIVE SHAFT HAD COME LOOSE AND FALLEN UNDER TRUCK.HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO HOME AND AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND NUT HAD COME OFF PINION CAUSING DRIVE SHAFT TO FALL OFF AND PINION TO FALL BACK INTO RING GEAR AND BROKE PINION,RING GEAR, AND BEARINGS.UNABLE TO REPAIR MYSELF I HAD A USED REAR END INSTALLED IN TRUCK. I LATER HEARD THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR THIS FAILURE AND CONTACTED THEM BY PHONE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. WHY, WHEN HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THEIR RECALL, WAS MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED? I WILL HAVE TO FIND MY BILLS FOR REPAIRS AND WRECKER SERVICE , BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS AROUND 1400.00, AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE ME.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OR MILEAGE AS THE FIRST FAILURE'S WERE LOW IN FREQUENCY. THE TRUCK DIES AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. YOU CAN BE UP TO SPEED BUT NORMALLY HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER FILL UP AND ENTERING TRAFFIC. NO TROUBLE LIGHTS ARE SHOWING ON THE DASH AND TRUCK NORMALLY STARTS BACK UP FAIRLY EASILY, ALTHOUGH SOUNDS FLOODED. NOW THE TRUCK DOES THIS AT ALMOST EVERY FILL UP. NO CODE DIAGNOSTICS ARE SHOWING. I HAVE REPLACED THE EGR AND SPARK PLUGS, NO CHANGE.

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.
