BOTH OF MY TRUCKS WHEEL WELL ARE RUSTING OUT. ITS A 2007 THEY SHOULD NOT BE RUSTING OUT FROM THE INSIDE OUT. PLUS THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT..
THE TRUCK BOUNCED ALL OVER THE ROAD SINCE THE DAY OF PURCHASE. WAS TOLD BY DODGE THAT'S THE WAY THEY HANDLE. THE TRUCK IS VERY UNSTABLE AND VIBRATES AT SLOW AND FAST SPEEDS. HAD TIRES AND WHEELS BALANCED MANY TIMES. NEW TIRES INSTALLED. MANY ALIGNMENTS AND STILL THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED. AIR PRESSURE ALWAYS CORRECT. WHEN HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD SEND A SHOCKWAVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE TRUCK SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE. HAD THE TRUCK TO MANY DIFFERENT DEALERS TO CHECK THE SUSPENSION, DRIVETRAIN, AND STEERING, THEY HAVE FOUND NO ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM HAS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW OR A WEAKNESS IN THE TRUCK SUSPENSION. I REPORTED THESE PROBLEMS YEARS AGO TO THIS AGENCY WITH NO RESULTING ACTION.
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN 07. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END FROM DAY ONE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE SHOP 3 OR FOR TIMES WHEN UNDER WARRANTY FOR THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE SET OF TIRES I HAVE ON IT IS THE FORTH SET DUE TO WEARING OUT. THE TRUCK PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT, TOOK IT IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T OUT & THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FRONT END. THIS WASN'T A DODGE DEALER. WHEN YOU GET UP TO 60 MPH, THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VERY BAD. IF I HIT A BUMP OR GO ACROSS A BRIDGE, IT JERKS THE STEERING WHEEL VERY BAD & ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK. I HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS, THE BUSHING'S ON THE SWAY BAR, & BRAKES AND ROTORS THINKING THIS COULD MAYBE BE THE PROBLEM. IT STILL DOES IT TILL THIS DAY. I SEEN WHERE SOME 07 MEGA CABS HAVE BEEN RECALLED & IN MY OPINION I THINK THEY NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL 07 DODGE RAM 1500 MODELS.
WHILE DRIVING DURING NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN A BUMP IN THE ROAD IS HIT OR WHEN TAKING A CURVE IN THE ROAD AT THE MENTIONED SPEED. SHAKING AND VIBRATING ONLY DECREASES WHEN VEHICLE SPEED IS REDUCED BELOW 50 MPH. HAVE REPLACED SHOCKS AND IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING TIE ROD ENDS TO SEE IF THIS ALLEVIATES THE ISSUE. HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF DURING NORMAL OPERATION, THE WILL SPUTTER AND STALL OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST

JULY 21, 2015 I HAD HEARD A LOUD HIGH PITCH NOISE ORIGINATING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT STOPPED, BUT THEN I WAS HEARING A SOUND OF METAL CLANKING TOGETHER. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK. I TOOK A LOOK UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTHING WAS VISIBLY WRONG. THAT EVENING I WAS DRIVING HOME, AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH; I PULLED INTO THE CENTER LANE OF TRAFFIC, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN BACK TO DRIVE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE FORWARD. WITHIN A HALF OF A MILE AS I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE REAR AXLE LOCKED UP AND I SKIDDED TO A SCREECHING HALT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND I AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE, SO I BLOCKED A LANE OF TRAFFIC UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK SHOWED UP. THE REPAIR SHOP I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT SAID THAT AN EAR ON THE PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN LOOSE AND THAT THE ASSEMBLY ACTUALLY SHATTERED. THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ALL THE YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRING CARS. THEY HAD TO GET PARTS FROM A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR, AND WHILE THEY WERE TALKING TO THE PARTS MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT MY TRUCK THE MANAGER STATED "THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM; WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME". I BELIEVE THAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY RECALL THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED ON A FREEWAY WITH MORE TRAFFIC AROUND.

I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT MY TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAGS AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. 4 MONTHS LATER THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. I HAVE READ ALL KINDS OF THINGS AND THEY MAKE IT SOUND LIKE IT IS NOT SAFE BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO TELL MY WIFE AND 2 YEAR OLD SON. THE DEALERS SAY THEY ARE NOT OFFERING LOANER OR RENTAL CARS SO I HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. MY DEALER DID SAY TO TRY TO LIMIT THE DRIVING UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN WHICH COULD BE A YEAR YET. HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO DO THAT? I REALLY THINK THEY NEED TO BE PROVIDING LOANERS TO THE VEHICLES THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG IS AFFECTED. I AM REALLY HOPING I AM NOT IN A ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUS AS THERE HAS BEEN PEOPLE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND KILLED. *TR

WE WERE HEADING OUT OF STATE ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING FEROCIOUSLY. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND HE SLOWED DOWN. WHEN HE SLOWED DOWN FROM 65 TO AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR THE SHAKING STOPPED. AS HE STARTED TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN IT STARTED AGAIN. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT IT FELT AS THE TRUCK WOULD FLIP. AS WE WERE TRYING TO FIND AN EXIT TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE WE CROSSED A BRIDGE WHICH WAS UNEVEN AND CAUSED THE SHAKING TO BEGIN AGAIN. AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT MY HUSBAND GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AND LOOKED UNDER IT EXPECTING TO FIND SOMETHING BROKEN OR WORN BUT HE COULD FIND NOTHING THAT LOOKED WRONG. WHILE HEADING BACK HOME IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES EITHER WHEN HE GOT UP TO A CERTAIN SPEED OR HIT AN UNEVEN PLACE IN THE ROAD. THE SHAKE WAS FRIGHTENING AND IT MADE THE TRUCK HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL TO THE POINT IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FLIP. IT WAS A TRUE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. AFTER 3 MONTHS AND 2 TIMES IN THE SHOP WITH VARIOUS FRONT-END PARTS REPLACED AND OVER $1000.00 SPENT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. WE ARE GETTING READY TO PUT IT BACK IN THE SHOP FOR A THIRD TIME ON THE 6TH OF APRIL, 2015. WE LOVE OUR TRUCK BUT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF IT DURING OUR EVERYDAY USE. *TR
TRUCK BEGAN STALLING WITH ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AT RANDOM: WHILE DRIVING, AT STOP LIGHTS, ETC. TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME. DIAGNOSED AS A BAD FUEL PUMP. FUEL PUMP REPLACED WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN BEHAVIOR. DIAGNOSED AS INTERMITTENT RANDOM NO ELECTRICAL POWER TO FUEL PUMP MODULE CAUSED BY MALFUNCTIONING TIPM. REPLACEMENT IS $900-$1100.

DODGE DEALER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM WITH TIPMS, BUT THEIR MECHANIC HAS COMMUNICATED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH TIPMS, THAT THEY HAVE THE PART ON BACK-ORDER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE TIPM PROBLEM AND DODGE'S COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE REPLACEMENT/PROGRAMMING OF THESE MODULES, HOLDING OWNERS HOSTAGE. *TR

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.
