Desiccated Air Bag Inflator RuptureEngineering analysis EA21002Open
Opened Sep 17, 2021airbags
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at …

Electrical System
Filed Sep 25, 2024CA
I purchased my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 truck around May 2022 at a used car lot. It had low mileage so I thought I did great. Immediately after I brought it home, it began to die. I figured it had a really old battery so I purchased a new one. This one would last around 3 days instead of the one day before dying. I would drive it and jump it over and over. I tried to contact the dealer over and over but they would not respond to my calls. I wrote a terrible review about them in Yelp and they contacted me immediately, but when I attempted to schedule a time to drop the truck back off, they stopped responding again. About 9 months later the truck stopped turning over all together. We found that the fuel pump was the issue. It sat for a year until I had it towed to the mechanic, who fixed the fuel pump, but found that the car would only run for a few seconds. He continued to diagnose it, and after weeks, he tells me that there is something terribly faulty with the electrical system, but he is stumped as to what it is. He says he does not see where anyone has tampered with the system at all, but there is something mysterious about the electrical component. I have put so much money into this truck including having to pay insurance and a high monthly payment for a dead truck. Please help me. I can provide documents after I meet with mechanic who still has truck.

2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4WD - No interior lighting, No dashboard lighting. The interior lighting and dashboard illumination affects day and evening driving for different reasons. No ability to drive vehicle during evening hours or when there is no natural day lighting. Unable to see the speedometer, gas level indicator and temperature gauges. Exterior lights work, but inside the vehicle it is completely dark. There were no warning lamps or messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to discovery during evening hours due to dashboard not displaying or illuminating the warning lamps during day hours. So if something were to go wrong while driving during the day there is no way of knowing the issue and/or troubleshooting prior to failure. Replaced blown fuse in the Integrated Power Module - Cavity 35 - Mini fuse 15 Amp Blue - Description Cabin Compartment Node (CCN) Illumination.

I PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP IN NOVEMBER 2008. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF, HOWEVER THE REAR FENDERS ARE RUSTING OUT. THE RUST IS SPREADING AND GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. THE EXCESSIVE RUSTING HAS SPREAD TO BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK ON THE LOWER DOOR PANELS. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE BODY SHOP MANAGER AT A DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINEERING FLAW THAT IS CAUSING THIS MODEL YEAR TO RUST THROUGH. I DO NOT BELIEVE REPAIRING THE RUST DAMAGE IS MY FINANCIAL BURDEN TO BEAR WHEN THE REASON FOR THE RUST IS THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS THAT ALL OF THE LUG NUTS HAVE MOISTURE INSIDE OF THEM THAT IS CAUSING THEM TO SWELL. THEREFORE WHEN GOING TO TAKE ANY OF THE TIRES OFF, I AM UNABLE TO USE THE CORRECT SIZE SOCKET TOOL. THE APPROXIMATE COST TO REPLACE ALL OF THE LUG NUTS IS $250, ALL OF WHICH IS DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION ANOTHER COSTLY REPAIR WAS REQUIRED AT ONLY 90,000 WHEN THE ENGINE HEAD WAS FOUND TO BE WARPED/OUT OF TOLERANCE, WHICH RESULTED IN CYLINDERS MISFIRING. I HAD TO PAY ~$5,000 TO HAVE A MECHANIC IN MY AREA REPAIR THIS ISSUE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. OVERALL, WITH A TRUCK THAT HAS 96,000 MILES AND IS ONLY 13 YEARS OLD, THERE HAS BEEN AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ISSUES AND MONEY SPENT ON FIXING PROBLEMS THAT DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM ME, BUT WITH THE MANUFACTURER.

BEST GUESS FROM RESEARCH IS A FAILED TIPM, WHICH IS A MAJOR EXPENSE AND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF PREVIOUS CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. FORTUNATELY IT'S WINTER AND I DISCOVERED THEY DON'T WORK WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. YET SOME DAYS THEY HAVE WORKED.

I OWN A 2007 RAM 1500 THAT SPITS FUEL BACK OUT AND IS NOT SAFE TO THE PERSON FILLING IT. IT ALSO CREATES A HAZARD WITH FUEL ON THE GROUND. DODGE CLAIMS IT WAS RESOLVED IN 2016 WHEN I FIRST HAD THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOW UNWILLING TO RESOLVE THEIR OWN REPAIR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. FUEL 'SPIT-BACK' THROUGH THE FILLER NECK HAS BEEN A LONGSTANDING PROBLEM IN SEVERAL CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP MODELS, CAUSED BY THE INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV) MOUNTED IN THE FUEL TANK. DESPITE SOME LIMITED RECALLS AND AT LEAST ONE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY, THIS DEFECT, WHICH FIRST SURFACED IN 2001, CONTINUES TO PLAGUE A NUMBER OF MODELS. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES ARE OUTSIDE OF ANY CAMPAIGN, FORCING OWNERS TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE TANK ASSEMBLY. NHTSA ID: 10056513 TSB ID: WB-D-14-23 MOPAR: ON SOME PICK UP TRUCKS, AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN ISSUED ON FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. MODEL 2007-2008 RAM 1500. ISSUED ON 9/9/2014 I ALSO LOCATED INFORMATION ON AN X49 RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES.

IT ACTS AS IF THE ANTI LOCKING DEVICE IS KEEPING THE KEY FROM TURNING. MY PREVIOUS DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP I PURCHASED NEW HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AT MY OWN COST.

TYPICAL BOLTS SHEARED OFF INSIDE THE BLOCK AND AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK CAUSING A TICK. THIS THE 2ND DODGE RAM THAT I HAVE OWNED. BOTH HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM (MY PREVIOUS TRUCK HAD I TWICE(!) WHILE I OWNED IT). IF YOU LOOK AT ANY NUMBER OF ONLINE FORUMS YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM ABOUT THE MILLIONTH PERSON THAT HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN. LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE HAS THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY DODGE HAS RELEASED A STATEMENT (THOUGH I CAN NOT CONFIRM) STATING THAT THE COMBINATION AT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF CAST IRON, ALUMINUM, AND WEAK BOLTS MAKES THIS HAPPEN OVER & OVER AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS.
Complaints 1-50 of 517, newest first, reproduced as filed.
It is not among the Ram 1500 years to avoid. Owners filed 517 complaints, against about 610 for a typical Ram 1500 year. The most common complaint is about the airbags (32%).
What is the most common problem with the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500?
The airbags: 164 of the 517 complaints (32%) are about it. Owners most often say it did not deploy its airbags in a crash (10%), shows an airbag warning light (4%) and sets off warning lights on the dash (3%). The typical report comes at 96,000 miles.
How many recalls does the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 have?
7 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed May 24, 2016. 2 of them carry a do-not-drive or park-outside warning. The largest, 16V352000, covered 4,648,270 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.
At what mileage do 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 problems start?
Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 69,500 miles. For the airbags the midpoint is 96,000 miles.
Has NHTSA investigated the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500?
Yes, 4 times. The latest, EA21002 ("Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture"), was opened Sep 17, 2021 and is still open. 2 investigations are open.
Are there service bulletins for the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500?
The manufacturer filed 68 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the engine (20), the transmission (10) and the electrical system (6). They include a warranty extension, WB-D-14-23, filed Sep 9, 2014. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.
Reading this record
NHTSA has issued a do-not-drive warning for a recall on this vehicle.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Most recent recall on file: May 24, 2016. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
