I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 REGULAR CAB TR4 4X4 V WITH A 4.7L ENGINE. THE PROBLEM DEALT WITH ROUTINE FAILURE OF THE FRONT SHOCKS. THE FRONT SHOCKS INSTALLED ON THESE DODGE FAILED ROUTINELY, THEY LEAKED OIL, AND BECAME WORTHLESS. THIS WAS THE SECOND FAILURE ON THE PICKUP. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, AND NOW AGAIN WITH 15,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I CONTACTED A DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THESE SHOCKS, AND THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER. ALSO, I VERIFIED THIS INFORMATION WITH OTHER OWNERS ONLINE, AT HTTP://WWW.DODGETALK.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=151075. THE TRUCKS WERE BEING DRIVEN DAILY, BOUNCING AROUND ON THE ROAD UNSAFELY, AND NO TIMELY SOLUTION HAS BEEN DELIVERED BY DODGE. THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE! *AK

I HAVE 3 SAFETY RECALLS FOR MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. I HAVE CALLED UNION DODGE IN GARDEN GROVE,CA, WHERE I PURCHASED THE AUTO, 3 TIMES TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT A PART FOR ONE OF THE REPAIRS IS NOT IN STOCK BUT THAT WHEN THE PARTS COME IN I WILL RECEIVE A CALL BACK. I'M STILL WAITING FOR THAT CALL BACK?

2006 1500 SERIES DODGE PICK UP TRUCK CUSTOMER STATES THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE DECEMBER 2006**CC THE CONSUMER HAS RECEIVED 3 RECALL NOTICES AND THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR ANY OF THE RECALLS. *JB

I AM CURIOUS TO THE CONCERN THAT I SHOULD HAVE ABOUT MY 2006 DODGE. I HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE SINCE ITS PURCHASE. ONE FOR AIRBAG ISSUES, ONE FOR A SEAT BELTS, AND THE MOST RECENT ONE FOR BALL BEARING ISSUES THAT COULD ALLOW THE FRONT WHEELS TO BECOME LOOSE AND FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THESE ARE LIFE CHANGING EVENTS IF THEY HAPPEN. HOW MANY RECALLS CAN ONE VEHICLE HAVE?*AK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE FRONT END SUSPENSION AND BRAKES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE SINCE THE THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE #G02. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 15000.*AK

MY TRUCK WAS INCLUDED IN RECALL: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 07V038000 WHICH STATES: REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT HUB AND BEARING UNITS... HOWEVER, WHEN THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE RECALL (DAIMLER CHRYSLER RECALL NO. G02) THEY LISTED NO REPLACEMENT PARTS RELATED TO WHEEL BEARINGS, IT APPEARS THEY MERELY ADDED MORE LUBE TO THE BEARING HOUSINGS. SEARCHING DODGE'S RECALL DATABASE FOR MY VIN NOW SHOWS THAT RECALL COMPLETED. DID NHTSA LEAVE IT TO THE DEALERS DISCRETION TO DECIDE IF THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE FRONT HUB AND BEARING UNITS VS. JUST PUT A BIT MORE GREASE IN THEM? OR DID NHTSA DIRECT THEM TO REPLACE THE HUBS? *JB

BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME FROM DEALER WITH HEAVY VIBRATION AT 65 MPH. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, WHICH COULDN'T BALANCE TIRES, THEY SENT THEM TO A TIRE STORE. TIRES WERE BALANCED, VIBRATION BETTER BUT STILL THERE. TOOK VEHICLE TO ANOTHER TIRE STORE WHERE ONE TIRE WAS REPLACED AND OTHER 3 TIRES BALANCED AGAIN. VIBRATION MUCH BETTER, BUT STILL NOTICE SLIGHT SHAKE AND VIBRATION STARTING AT 57-60 MPH. FEELS LIKE A WOBBLE, FEEL IT IN THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL. DEALER SAYS THAT TIRES CAN'T BE BALANCED BEYOND 55 MPH. FINDING OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS ON WEBSITES FOR 2006 RAMS. DOESN'T FEEL LIKE ROAD FEEL FROM TIGHT SUSPENSION, FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN WHEEL ASSEMBLY OR TIRES ARE STILL NOT PERFECT. COULD BE DRIVESHAFT. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE VEHICLE HIT A SEPARATION IN THE ROAD AND THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE WENT INTO THE NEXT LANE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO TEMPORARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,500, AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,000. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR SUSPENSION LOCKED UP FOR THE 4TH TIME. THE CONSUMER AND PASSENGER WERE INJURED. UPDATED 03/30/07. *JB

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON FEB 11 AT 7:00 AM. I WENT OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT TAKING OUT A MAILBOX, A COUPLE OF TREES, SIDE SWIPED A TELEPHONE POLE BEFORE COMING TO REST UP AGAINST A TREE. WHEN THE TRUCK FINALLY CAME TO A REST AGAINST A TREE, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BECAUSE OF THE FINAL IMPACT OF THE TREE I WAS HIT THE STEERING WHEEL HARD ENOUGH TO BEND IT. THE MOUNTING OF THE AIRBAG SENSORS ARE MOUNTED ON A FRAME RAIL WHICH HAS RUBBER MOUNT FROM THE BRACE TO THE FRAME WHICH WOULD ABSORB THE MOST OF THE IMPACT. FROM A CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE IMPACT ZONE I NOTICED THE FRAME MOUNT WAS BENT WHERE THE MOUNT WAS BOLTED. I WAS TOLD BY AN INSPECTOR, THAT CAME OUT TO LOOK AT MY TRUCK FOR THE AIRBAGS, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE AUTO MAKERS WHICH MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO INSURANCE COMPANIES PAYING LESS ON CLAIMS AT OUR SAFETY. THE SENSORS WERE DESIGNED TO HELP AND DID AT ONE TIME BUT IF YOU KEEP LISTENING TO OUTSIDE SOURCES INSTEAD OF THE CONSUMER YOUR CREDITABILITY WILL BE RUINED. I AM ACTUALLY SCARED FOR MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN THIS TRUCK, KNOWING THAT THE SRS IS NOT AS SAFE AS I WAS LED TO BELIEVE. THE SENSORS NEED TO BE IN A MORE SOLID POSITION. RUBBER MOUNTS ABSORB MORE OF THE IMPACT THAN IT SHOULD HAVE NEEDED TO.

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING HIS 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 (56000 FAILURE MILEAGE) AT 3 MPH OVER A HOLE ON A DIRT ROAD, THE CONTACT HEARD A RUBBING SOUND AS IF THE TIRE WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE FENDER. HE STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO TAKE A LOOK AND FOUND THE DRIVE SHAFT RUBBING AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO DRIVE OVER THE HOLE THEN THE RUBBING NOISE STOPPED. THE CONTACT THINKS THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN HIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS A 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE OVER HOLES WITHOUT RUBBING AGAINST THE GAS TANK.

TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THE HEEL OF HER SHOE BECAME STUCK IN THE GROOVES OF THE INSIDE DOOR LINER. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT FELL TO THE GROUND. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES, AND EACH TIME IT WAS DIFFICULT GETTING THE HEEL OUT OF THE DOOR LINER. *AK

DEALERSHIP WILL NOT DO RECALL WORK ON OR AROUND MY SCHEDULE. DAIMLER/CHRYSLER WILL NOT MAKE DEALERSHIP FIX RECALL ON OR AROUND MY SCHEDULE. FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG/FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT HAS CALLED TWO DEALERSHIPS IN HIS AREA TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V354000 (SEAT BELT/FRONT) ON HIS 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP (ALBERIC DODGE IN SAN JUAN, PR) STATED THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE AND THAT THE PARTS WOULD NEED TO BE ORDERED. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP (FLAGSHIP DODGE IN SAN JUAN, PR) STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK IN THREE WEEKS WHEN THEY ASSUMED THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE, BUT NEVER DID. *JB

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING SINCE I GOT MY TRUCK IN MARCH THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT MAKES A POPPING NOISE WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE IT IS COMING UP OFF THE GROUND OR OUT OF THE TRACK. I CHECKED IT AND IT IS SECURELY FASTENED TO THE GROUND. I TOOK IT INTO FREEMONT DODGE YESTERDAY TO GET SOME RECALL WORK DONE, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BRACKETS AND THE PINIONS IN THE TRACK OF THE SEAT ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY TRIED TO GET THE PARTS BUT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER. HOW LONG DO THEY HAVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HOW DANGEROUS IS IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OK BUT MY WIFE DRIVES THE TRUCK AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE WILL BE SAFE. *JB

1.. ALL 02-2005 (MAYBE 2006) 9.25" LSDS ARE AFFECTED. 2.. THE RETAINING CLIPS FAIL. 3.. AFTER ENOUGH WEAR ON THE HOUSING THE CLIPS CAN COME LOOSE, WHICH AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED COULD GET LODGED IN THE RING AND PINION AND CAUSE THE REAR END TO LOCK UP. AND AT 75 MPH HAVING THE REAR TIRES LOCK UP SURELY SPELL OUT INJURY OR DEATH. 4.. THAT EVEN WHEN THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY THE PARTS ARE REPLACED WITH THE SAME JUNK AS BEFORE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NHTSA NOTICES FOR RECALL #06V353000, WHICH PERTAINS TO THE AIR BAGS, AND RECALL # 06V354000, WHICH PERTAINS TO THE SEAT BELTS WERE RECEIVED. FOUR SERVICE DEALERS WERE CONTACTED, WHO STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED A CONCERN THAT THE MANUFACTURER TOOK 3 MONTHS TO NOTIFY THE CUSTOMERS OF THE RECALL.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL, #06V354000 ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE SEAT BELTS, AND A NHTSA RECALL, # 06V353000 ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE AIRBAGS. THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ALERTED TO CONFIRM THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

AT 15,000 MILES MY TRUCK WOULD START PULSATING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE. FOUND OUT THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED. HAPPENED AGAIN AT 30,000 MILES. HAD ROTORS TURNED AT MY EXPENSE. *NM

MASSIVE VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF 80 KM-100 KM IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK, LEFT SIDE OF BOX SHAKES OVER ALL BUMPS. REPLACED 3 TIRES , VIBRATION STILL THERE . *JB

DRIVETRAIN VIBRATION BETWEEN 30-40 MPH WHILE DECELERATING COURSE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE AND DEEMED IT "NORMAL". *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF WHILE TOWING A 6X10 UTILITY TRAILER WHICH RESULTED IN THE TRAILER COLLIDING WITH AND DAMAGING THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THE TRAILER MUST HAVE EXCEEDED THE TOWING CAPACITY FOR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISPUTES THIS CLAIM. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.*AK UPDATED 03/02/07. *JB

IF YOU APPLY HARD PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL WILL TRAVEL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR GOING PAST THE GAS PEDAL. THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS ARE FAIRLY CLOSE TOGETHER AND IF YOUR FOOT IS OFF SET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOUR SHOE WILL CATCH THE GAS PEDAL WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SPEED UP WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT THE SAME TIME YOU ARE MAKING IT GO FASTER, JUST ISN'T VERY GOOD. *NM

THE VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION MAINLY BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 55 TO 60 MPH. HOWEVER I HAVE NOTICED THE VIBRATIONS AT OTHER SPEEDS AS WELL. THE VIBRATION IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO SHAKE THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THE FIRST VISIT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD ONE WHEEL WAS FOUND OUT OF BALANCE AND THE PROBLEM WAS REMEDIED. ON THE WAY HOME THE VIBRATION WAS STILL PRESENT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK. THE SERVICE MANAGER RODE WITH ME AND INDEED ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. DURING THIS SECOND VISIT IT WAS DETERMINED ALL 4 TIRES WERE NOT WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS AND REPLACED. (MIND YOU THE TIRES ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 1600 MILES.) AFTER DRIVING WITH THE NEW TIRES FOR A FEW DAYS THE VIBRATION STILL PERSISTS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A THIRD VISIT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, HOWEVER THE SERVICE MANAGER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS SENT ON MY WAY WITH NO ATTEMPTED REMEDY. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE FOUND NEARLY 40 OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME VIBRATION ON THEIR 2006 DODGE RAMS. THEY HAVE ALSO NOT HAD ANY SUCCESS AT FIXING THE PROBLEM AFTER AS MANY AS FIVE VISITS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. *NM

VIBRATION AT 60MPH. HAD 2 TIRES REPLACED DID NOT HELP. DEALER PUT 4 NEW TIRES AND RIMS ON SAME PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS WORSE WHEN TOWING TRAILER. 5 TRIPS TO DEALER AND THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE VIBRATION. VIBRATION IS IN SEAT AND FLOORBOARD ALL TIRES BALLANCED PROPERLY THEY CLAIM THIS IS NORMAL. HAVE FOUND THAT THIS ONLY SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 06 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4S.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TURNING LEFT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING ACROSS TRAFFIC AND COLLIDED WITH A RETAINING WALL. ALSO, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS AND SUSTAINED NECK INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HITCHED UP TO A TRAILER, THERE WAS A VIBRATION FROM THE DRIVE SHAFT DURING ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT HANGER. THIS HELPED REDUCE THE VIBRATION, BUT BECAME WORSE WITH CONTINUED DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED A SECOND TIME, WHERE A MORE HEAVY DUTY REPLACEMENT HANGER WAS INSTALLED. THE VIBRATION CONTINUED DURING ACCELERATION AT ALL SPEEDS, ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT NOTICED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

ENGINE HAS A TICKING NOISE, SOUNDS LIKE THE LIFTERS TAPPING WHEN AT IDLE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE BACKING UP FROM A PARKING SPOT, NO POWER WAS NOTICED UNTIL THE ENGINE REACHED 4000 RPM. THE SAME PROBLEM WAS OBSERVED WHILE DRIVING FORWARD FOR THE NEXT TWO MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THE ECU WAS MISSING THE SOFTWARE; CS AND TCBS WHICH WERE UPDATED, BUT DTC WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AFTER THE REPAIRS.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE REAR LEFT SAFETY BELT TIGHTENED SO TIGHTLY THAT THE PASSENGER WAS CHOKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED COMPLETELY UPON STARTING AND REMOVING PRESSURE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT RESTARTED AFTER 45 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE ANY FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD LEAKED DURING RAINING CONDITIONS. MOLD BEGAN TO GROW IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED TWO MONTHS AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE REAR WINDOW AND INSTALLED A NEW TRACK.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND AT MORE THAN 40MPH THE VEHICLE VEERED TOWARD THE LEFT OR RIGHT. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE IT VEERED TOWARD THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS ON SIX DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ALTHOUGH, THE VEHICLE ALIGNMENT WAS READJUSTED FOUR TIMES THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WITHOUT WARNING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLES STALLS. THE VEHICLE RESTARTS, AND THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE NOISE WAS NORMAL AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE BROKEN IN. THE NOISE CONTINUES TO COME FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW THE REAR END VIBRATES. ADDITIONALLY, ON FIVE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING 60MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED EACH TIME AFTER FIVE MINUTES. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. IT WAS BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2005. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING SO I TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM. IT IS A SILICONE SEAL ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS IT WAS LEAKING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEAL. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS LEAKING WAY WORSE THAN BEFORE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD REPLACE IT AGAIN BUT MOST LIKELY IT WOULD STILL LEAK BECAUSE IT WAS A SILICONE SEAL AND THEY COULDN'T PUT ANY OTHER SEAL ON IT BECAUSE IT WAS AGAINST DODGES REGULATIONS. THAT IS WHAT THE PUT ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FACTORY SO THE CAN'T PUT ANYTHING ELSE ON IT. SO THE TRANSMISSION WILL CONTINUE TO LEAK. I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS ESPECIALLY THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE AND ALSO MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. ALSO IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. SO NOW IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T FIXED MY TRANSMISSION WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNING LEFT, THERE IS A RUBBING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE NOISE, AND THE MANUFACTURER IS CURRENTLY DESIGNING A REPAIR.
