2007 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

WHEN THE BLINKER IS TURNED ON, THE OPPOSITE SIDE BLINKS, OR NONE AT ALL. THE WIPER DOESN'T WIPE AT ALL TIMES. THESE ARE UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

WIPER MOTOR FAILS AT ANY SPEED TURN SIGNAL FLASHES RIGHT FOR LEFT OR VICE VERSA. DANGEROUS TO DRIVER AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MULTI-FUNCTION KEY FAILED, CAUSING THE TURN SIGNALS AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RECALLED AND DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

MY TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I DRIVE IN EXCESS OF 57 MPH. WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD (SPECIFICALLY THE SEEMS BETWEEN THE ROAD PAVEMENT AND THE CONCRETE BRIDGES) OR AM IN A CURVE, THE SHAKING IS EVEN WORSE. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS SLOWING DOWN TO 20-30 MPH. I HAVE REPLACED MY STEERING SUSPENSION, HAD MY TIRES REBALANCED, HAD MY TIRES ROTATED, AND HAD DIAGNOSTICS CHECKS ON TIE RODS, STRUTS, BEARINGS, ETC. TO NO AVAIL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AT 70MPH OR MORE IF YOU HIT ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD YOU GET A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END THAT IS SO SEVERE THAT YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH FOR IT TO STOP. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING ITS HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND TO KEEP IT IN YOUR LANE,ITS EVEN HARDER TO MANEUVER AROUND TURNS. THIS EVEN HAS A NAME FOR IT WITH FRONT END SHOPS"DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OTHER VEHICLES TEND TO MOVE AWAY FROM YOU AND I'VE EVEN HAD PEOPLE FOLLOW ME INTO A GAS STATION TO TELL ME THEY THOUGHT I LOST A WHEEL BECAUSE OF HOW VIOLENT MY TRUCK SHAKES. THE DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING WRONG AND SHOPS SAY THEY HAVE CHANGED THE ENTIRE FRONT ENDS ON VEHICLES AND IT STILL DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEMS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS WRONG AND DANGEROUS AND THE NICKNAME IS FITTING. PLEASE HELP MAKE DODGE FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, IF YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE WHOLE TRUCK WILL SHAKE. IF YOU ARE ROUNDING A BEND AND HIT A BUMP, THE TRUCK WILL BOUNCE ACROSS THE ROAD. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO SHAKE AND BOUNCE UNCONTROLLABLY. THESE CONDITIONS MAKE THE TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATE THAT NOTHING IS WRONG AND CAN'T FIND ANY CAUSE OR FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS INCLUDES TIRES, TIRE PRESSURE, BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A TIRE ROTATION THE MECHANIC STATED THE LUG NUTS COULD NOT BE REMOVED DUE TO RUST. THE LUG NUT CAPS SWELLED AND THE WRENCH THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH WOULD NOT FIT OVER THE LUG NUTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR COST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 11/08/11*LJ THE DECORATIVE CAP, OVER THE LUG NUT IS WAS TOO LARGE DUE TO THE INSIDE LUG NUT RUSTING. THE FACTORY LUG NUT WRENCH WON'T FIT THE LUG NUT. UPDATED 11/14/11

I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK A WEEK PRIOR TO THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. WHEN I HIT THE BUMP THE WHOLE TRUCK AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK HAD BROKEN AND WAS COMING APART. I HIT THE BREAKS AND IT FINALLY STOPPED SHAKING WHEN I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AND LOOKED AROUND THE TRUCK, AND I FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT SO I SLOWLY DROVE IT BACK HOME. HAD IT LOOKED AT THE NEXT MORNING AND WAS TOLD SINCE IT HAD ONLY DONE IT ONCE THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 3 WEEKS SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, AND IT HAS DONE IT 5 TIMES NOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND LET THEM LOOK AT IT, AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. 2 OF THE 5 TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE I WAS GOING ABOUT 65-70 MPH AND HAD TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS IN TRAFFIC TO SLOW IT DOWN TO TRY TO GET IT TO STOP BEFORE I LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, ALMOST CAUSING THE DRIVER BEHIND ME TO HIT ME. I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME TRUCKS AND THEY ARE CALLING IT A "DEATH WOBBLE", YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT? I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ON THE INTERSTATE NOW BECAUSE IM AFRAID THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IF I LOSE CONTROL OF

VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING TURN SIGNAL RECURRING FAILURES. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE TURN SIGNALS EITHER WOULD NOT FUNCTION OR THE OPPOSITE TURN SIGNAL FROM INTENDED SIGNAL WOULD ILLUMINATE. SERVICE WRITER SUGGESTED TO REPLACE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH TO CORRECT PROBLEM, HIS COMMENT WAS THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE. ULTIMATELY THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH WAS REPLACED WITH NO OTHER ISSUE IDENTIFIED AS THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO, BUT THE TIE RODS HAVE AGAIN BROKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIE RODS WERE NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER THE FACT THAT THE TIE RODS ONLY LASTED 20,000 MILES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 54,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 09/08/2007 *LN *TR

I OWN A 2007 DODGE MEGA CAB 1500. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING. THIS WOBBLE HAS NOT JUST HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE DEATH WOBBLE FIXED SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT FOR ME TO DO SOMETHING ELSE TOO. I HAVE ADDED A LEVELING KIT, REPLACED TIRES TO THE SHOPS SPECS, SHOCKS, FRONT STEERING STABILIZER AND ALL OF THE WORK THE DODGE SHOP HAS DONE. THE MOST RECENT EVENT IS THAT I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALER TODAY FROM IT BEING IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME REASON I HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 OTHER TIMES. I WAS TOLD THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS FIXED AND PROMISED THE PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF. I PAID THE BILL AND LEFT. I WAS 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD NO ONE WAS IN SERVICE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT CLOSE FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES AND TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK. THE TRUCK HAD ALREADY BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST A MONTH. I TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER MY WIFE WAS IN FRONT OF ME IN HER VEHICLE AND THE WOBBLE STARTED AGAIN. SHE MOVED OVER 3 LANES OF HIGHWAY BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FLIP THE TRUCK. THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE APPEARED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHAKE RIGHT OFF. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO WAS HAVE ME LEAVE IT AGAIN AND SOMEONE WOULD LOOK AT IT TOMORROW. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SEVERALLY HURT WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN T

2007 - DODGE RAM 1500 MEGACAB HAS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE, ESPECIALLY WHILE MAKING A SLIGHT TURN, THE FRONT END SUSPENSION SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO REDUCE SPEEDS TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHAKING STEERING IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE AND SLOWING THE TRUCK WHILE MAINTAINING CONTROL IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. IT HAS HAPPENED OFTEN ENOUGH THAT I CAN NEARLY REPRODUCE IT ON DEMAND. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN THE SHAKING OCCURS AND FEAR LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TT

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT LATCH LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE RELEASED. CHRYSLER SAID THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELT LATCHES IN THE RAM 1500 2007 MODEL BUT APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE FIRST. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE RAM MEGACAB, I EXPERIENCE WHAT IVE COME TO HEAR PEOPLE CALL "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN NOVEMBER OF 2010, THE TRUCK WAS INSPECTED, I DROVE THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY, WAS DRIVING AT 100-120KM/HR THEN EXPERIENCE A SHAKING IN THE TRUCK, A VIOLENT SHAKING, MUCH MORE SEVERE THEN MISALIGNMENT OR PART WEAR. I ARRIVED IN FREDRICTON, GOT SERVICE DONE ON VEHICLE, AND HAD FRONT END CHECKED OUT, ALL WAS GOOD. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED AGAIN, AND SHEARED MY OUTER TIE ROD END OFF. IT WASNOT A FAILURE FROM THE BALL IN THE SOCKET, IT WAS THE SHAFT THAT GOES THROUGH THE STEERING KNUCKLE THAT WAS SHEARED OFF. CALLED AND ASKED DODGE IF THEY HAD ANY ISSUSES WITH UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING IN THEIR TRUCKS, AKA DEATH WOBBLE THEY SAID THEY HAVENT. I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD BACKGROUND IN MECHANICS, I KNOW THE DEATH WOBBLE IS NOT RIGHT, AND IVE NEVER SEEN A TIE ROD SHEAR OFF LIKE THAT BEFORE. *TR

AT 35,000 MILES MY 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 NUMBER 8 SPARK PLUG (AGAINST THE FIRE WALL) MELTED INTO THE INGNITION COIL. AT 50,000 MILES THE LEFT TIE ROD HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTANED AND NO OFF ROAD DRIVING. *TR

EXPERIENCED STRONG VIBRATION IN FRONT LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE, AS THOUGH DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIP ON HIGHWAY. SPEED WAS IRRELEVANT, ANYWHERE FROM 25 MPH AND ABOVE. FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS A LOCKED CALIPER OR OTHER WHEEL/BRAKE ISSUE. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP WHERE TRUCK WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED, AND AFTER THEIR INSPECTION, THEY FIND NOTHING. THIS WAS MARCH, 2010. EXPERIENCED SAME VIBRATION INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT SUMMER OF 2010. VIBRATION BECAME A COMMON OCCURRENCE. AT TIMES IT FEELS AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING ON THE RIM. IN NOVEMBER, 2010, BROUGHT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR SAME COMPLAINT. THEY FIND FRONT AXLE SHAFT REQUIRING REPLACEMENT, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. ALSO FOUND WAS FRONT HUB AND BEARING REQUIRING REPLACEMENT, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS FAILURE APPEARS TO BE THE SUBJECT OF 2006 MODEL YEAR RECALLS. *TR

THE FIRST REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE OCCURRED AT 19,964 MILES IN MIDDLE OF MARCH 2010. REPAIRS WERE MADE UNDER WARRANTY. NINE MONTHS LATER THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILS AGAIN AT 25,165 MILES IN MIDDLE OF DECEMBER 2010. THIS TIME THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE DRIVE SHAFT SNAPPED OFF AT THE REAR AXLE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT ALTHOUGH THE FIRST REPAIR WAS DONE UNDER WARRANTY THE SECOND WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH TIME AND MILEAGE DID NOT EXCEED 12 MONTH 12,000MI ON THE REPAIR. I WAS AT HIS MERCY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. SO I PAID $3,000 OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS WHICH I BELIEVE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS JANUARY THE 2ND, 2011 AND THE REAR END IS MAKING THAT WHINING SOUND IT USUALLY MAKES BEFORE IT DISINTEGRATES. I WILL BE VISITING THE DEALER ON MY NEXT DAY OFF FROM WORK.

MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH MALFUNCTION ON 2007 DODGE RAN 1500. TURN SIGNAL SIGNALS WRONG DIRECTION ON OCCASION (BASED ON FIRST EXPERIENCE THIS GETS WORSE WITH TIME) AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE TURN SIGNAL ISSUE CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD WHEN YOU INTEND TO TURN OR CHANGE LANES ONE DIRECTION AND YOUR TURN SIGNAL IS INDICATING THE OPPOSITE OF YOUR INTENTION. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ISSUE CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THEY FAIL TO OPERATE IN THE RAIN. HAD THE SWITCH REPLACED IN 2008 OR 2009 AROUND 30K MILES AND IT IS NOW FAILING AGAIN AT 59,000 MILES. *TR

2007 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4. TRANSFER CASE PARTIALLY LOCKS IN CAUSING RIGHT FRONT TIRE TO LOCK UP. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE DOES NOT ENGAGE FULLY. THIS CAN BE CAUSED BY THE ELECTRONIC TRANSFER CASE MOTOR. THIS WAS OBSERVED AT A SPEED OF 30 MILES PER HOUR AND LOWER. HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET ABOUT THIS FAILURE. HAVE ONLY 52000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE RARELY USED. VEHICLE BECOMES UNDRIVABLE BECAUSE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT FULLY DISENGAGE. SHIFTING INTO 4X4 MODE AT HIGHER SPEEDS COULD CAUSE VEHICLE TO VEER TO THE RIGHT AND OFF OF ROAD CAUSING A CRASH. THESE FAULTY TRANSFER CASE MOTORS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM ON DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. THE JACK THAT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE WAS BOLTED ONTO THE FLOOR BOARD.

WHEN THE BOLTS BROKE A HOLE WAS IN THE FLOOR BOARD. THE DEALER DIRECTED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED HIM TO CALL A WELDER. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A 5 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE PERTAINING TO RUST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42000.
