2008 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

HAVING ISSUE WITH TRUCK STALLING OUT RIGHT AFTER FUELING VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WITH OUT ANY WARNING. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING, TWICE GOING DOWN A HILL AND ONCE SO FAR WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN. THIS HAPPENS ONCE A WEEK RIGHT AFTER FUELING UP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. MANY HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AT THE DEALER AND STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. MANY ALSO REPORT THIS PROBLEM OF THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CROSSING TRAFFIC. SOME HAVE REPORTED BEING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT AT 70 MPH. THIS IS BECOMING A MAJOR CONCERN AS I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER WITH MY FAMILY. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONDITION AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ DODGE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING BUT CHARGING PEOPLE AND NOT FIXING THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL COMPLETELY FRACTURED FROM THE AXLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED, BUT NO CRASH OCCURRED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED WHIPLASH DUE TO THE TIRE FAILURE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A YARD. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE A FOLLOW-UP RESPONSE TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE WHEEL FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10E040000 (WHEELS) AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: G02 (FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS). THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ..*BF..*JB *DT*BF*JB CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE CAME OFF THE TRUCK WITHOUT WARNING, WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. PHOTOS ATTACHED.*JB

I BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM FOR A RECALL ON MY FUEL TANK IN THE SUMMER OF 2018. THEY KEPT MY TRUCK FOR A FEW DAYS AND GAVE ME A LOANER. THE DEALER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME TO BRING THE LOANER IN AND TAKE MY TRUCK WITH NO REPAIRS. THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID THAT MOPAR NO LONG CARRIED THE TANK FOR MY TRUCK AFTER TEN (10) YEARS. INSPECTION IS COMING UP IN JULY OF 2019. OTHER THAN THE FUEL TANK, MY TRUCK IS JUST LIKE IT WAS, WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH IT. EVEN IF I BUY ANOTHER DODGE TRUCK, I AM NOT GIVING UP THE TRUCK I HAVE. PLEASE, HELP ME MAKE MY NEXT VEHICLE A CHRYSLER OR DODGE, BY TREATING ME RIGHT ON THIS ONE.

SHIFT LEVER BROKE OFF WHILE DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT WENT TO PUT IN DRIVE, SHIFTER GOT SLOPPY AND NOTHING WOULD ENGAGE.

MY TRUCK HAS RANDOMLY BEEN MALFUCTIONING FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS, WHILE DRIVING THE POSTED SPEEDS 45-75MPH THE TUCK HAS STALLED OUT CAUSING ME TO LOSE ALL POWER WITH MY INFANT DAUGHTER I HAVE RUN INTO A DITCHED, NEARLY ESCAPED OTHER PASSENGER COLLISONS I HAVE HAD THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME ON NON-LIT ROADS FORCING ME OFF THE ROAD THANKFULLY NO IMJURIES HAVE OCCURIED, IT IS ALL DUE TO A FAULTY TIPM THAT DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND WONT FILE A RECALL YOUR COMPANY CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY DEFECT TO WARRANT A RECALL FROM THE TIPM, BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN FOR DODGE TO FIX THE ISSUE, IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE I WONT PUT MY CHILD BACK IN THE TRUCK AND I WONT DRIVE IT BY MYSELF, ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TO STEER MY VEHICLE WHEN I LOSE ALL POWER WITHOUT WARNING DOING 65MPH HOURS ON A FREEWAY, IT IS BY THE GRACE OF GOD I AM STILL ALIVE AND HAVENT BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND IM NOT WILLING TO KEEP TAKING THE RISKS

AFTER EACH FILL UP THE TRUCK WILL DIE WHILE COMING TO A STOP. IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL IS LOWERED. MY RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT IT IS EITHER THE FUEL TANK OR FUEL PUMP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOT THIS TIME..

THE ENGINE STALLS AND CUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'VE HAD IT AT 4 DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR SHOPS INCLUDING 3 WEEKS AT LANDMARK DODGE AND NO ONE CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT. I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND CYLINDERS REPLACED. IT'S CRAZY ANDD VERY FRUSTRATING THAT DODGE CAN'T FIX THEIR OWN PRODUCT.

SEVERAL TIMES NOW AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK AND RUNNING IT 10-15 MINUTES IT JUST SHUTS OFF. TODAY ON A VERY BUSY 4 LANE ROAD IT HAPPENED AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH DUE TO NO POWER STEERING. SHOPS HAVE CHECKED IT AND IT DOES NOT SHOW IN CODE ERRORS.

WHILE FILLING UP WITH GAS IT SPILLS OUT. ONLY WAY TO FILL IT UP IS TO IT VERY VERY SLOWLY A LITTLE AT A TIME. IT WENT FROM FILLING UP NORMAL THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WON'T DO RIGHT. THE LAST 4 TIMES I'VE PUT GAS IN IT.

I HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE. THE ENGINE JUST QUITS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER REFUELING AND A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IS NOTICED. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 2 OR 3 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WHILE APPROACHING INTERSTATE 35 IN WACO, TX, ON 11/30/2018. AN INQUIRY WAS MADE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT NO COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THEM. IN REVIEWING OTHER CONSUMER WEBSITES THAT IS NOT TRUE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS DEFINITELY A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD WORK AT TIMES AND NOT AT OTHER TIMES. NOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL. DODGE HAS ATTEMPTED REPAIR THAT COST ME 500.00 AND THE WIPERS STILL DON'T WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE NECK AND SHOULDERS AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 256,000.

JUST RECENTLY, MY 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB, 4X2 WILL STALL RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK WITH FUEL. WITHIN THE FIRST MILE THIS TRUCK HAS STALLED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. ONCE ENOUGH FUEL HAS BEEN BURNT, THE TRUCK WILL RUN FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP AND THE CONDITION RETURNS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOST CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND COULD END IN A COLLISION. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN MAKING TURNS OR MANEUVERING THROUGH TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN WITH THEIR TRUCKS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY TRUCK NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY SINCE THE DEFECTIVE PART IS NOT SERVICEABLE AS IT IS PLASTIC WELDED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. I AM HOPING THAT AN INVESTIGATION WILL BE OPENED AND A RECALL ON THESE TANKS IS INITIATED TO PREVENT VEHICLES FROM STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND CREATING A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION.

TIE ROD ASSEMBLY

REAR END MADE LOUD WHINING NOISE AND KNOCKING BEFORE THE DRIVESHAFT BECAME COMPLETE DISCONNECTED AND THE REAR END SEIZED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED-EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE COVERED UNDER NHSTA RECALL # 13V-038.

TIMP FAILURE

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, IT WOULD TRY AND GO INTO 4W DRIVE LOW. WE CHANGED THE ACTUATOR AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN PROBLEMS BECAME WORSE. AGAIN IT WOULD GO INTO 4W DRIVE LOW WHILE DRIVING. BUT ALSO WHEN WE STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS IT WOULD MOVE AT ALL. WE WOULD SHUT THE TRUCK OFF THEN IT WOULD GO. WE WOULD HEAR A WHINING SOUND AFTER THE TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF ABOUT 30 MINUTES COMING UNDER THE TRUCK. THE END OF JULY WE HAD TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP. THEN WE HAD TO CHANGE THE RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT. WE HAD IT AT 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS BEFORE FINDING THE PROBLEM OF IT GOING INTO 4W DRIVE LOW. IT WAS THE TIMP AND THE TRANSFER CASE. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR 3 TIMES.

AT ABOUT 89,000 MILES I NOTICED WHEN FILLING THE TRUCK THE NOZZLE WOULD CLICK OFF MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WAS FILLED. IT STEADILY GOT WORSE AS TIME WENT BY, IT STARTED TO SPIT GAS BACK ALL OVER THE TRUCK AND MYSELF. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS EITHER THE FILLER TUBE OR THE WHOLE GAS TANK BOTH OF WHICH ARE OVER $2200.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. THEY SAID IF I PAID $150.00 THEY WOULD NARROW IT DOWN. I PAID THE FEE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FILLER NECK. THEY REPLACED IT ONLY TO FIND IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO FILL IT UP AND WAS GREETED BY A GAS SPRAY AS IT HAD DONE BEFORE, IT WAS NOT FIXED! ON TOP OF THAT, THE SERVICE MANAGER, CRAIG REFUSED TO DO ANY MORE WORK ON THE VEHICLE AND TO TAKE IT ELSEWHERE!

THE VEHICLE WAS STABLE AT A COSTCO GAS STATION. WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND SPRAYS ALL OVER, INCLUDING ON ME! THE FUEL SPRAYED FROM OUT AND AROUND THE TANK FILLER NECK GASKET. I CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED THE SERVICE WRITER WHAT IS GOING ON? HE SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE ROLL-OVER VALVE THAT WAS IN THE FILLER NECK. HE SAID IT COULD ALSO BE THE FUEL TANK ITSELF, WHICH IS COSTLY. I ASKED ABOUT WARRANTY OR GOODWILL HE SAID NO. THE PROBLEM, IN THE BEGINNING, IT WAS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY, IT WOULD SPLASH BACK OCCASIONALLY THEN IT BLOCKED THE FILLER COMPLETELY WHERE I COULD ONLY FILL AT A VERY SLOW DRIBBLE. I STOPPED DRIVING ANY MORE THAN SHORT DISTANCES AND COULD ONLY GET A QUARTER OF A TANK IN AT ABOUT 25 MINUTES OF HOLDING THE NOZZLE. NOT ONLY IS IT A FIRE DANGER, AND A CAUSTIC CHEMICAL IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE SPILLING ON TO THE PERSON FILLING THE TRUCK, THE GROUND, AND THE AIRBORNE FUEL PARTICLES! I HAD THEM REPLACE THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND IT TURNS OUT NOT TO BE THE PROBLEM! NOW THEY ACTUALLY TOLD ME AT THE DEALERSHIP, MCPEEKS DODGE OF ANAHEIM THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE FIXING MY CAR AND SAID TO TAKE IT ELSEWHERE! THIS IS A VERY BASIC SAFETY COMPLAINT ON A SYSTEM THAT IS A BASIC FAULT OF THE DESIGN. I NEED HELP! PLEASE CONTACT PHILIP COPELAND STATE OF CALIFORNIA BUREAU OF AUTO REPAIR, WHO HAS DONE A LOT OF LOOKING INTO MY COMPLAINT. HIS NUMBER IS (949) 988-5233. HE HAS CONTACTED THE DODGE FACTORY AND THE DEALERSHIP T

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM MEGA CAB 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. MOSS BROTHERS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (8151 AUTO DRIVE, RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 92504, (951) 688-6200) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *TT UPDATED 12/20/18*JB

TAKATA RECALL. HAD TWO WRECKS IN 2008 & 2009. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, HAVE BEEN REPLACED, RECALL CSN 1. SUFFERED SERIOUS NECK INJURY ENDING IN COMPLETE CERVICAL FUSION & TRANSPLANTS. ALSO HAVE CHRYSLER 2005/300 4 SPEED AIRBAGS REPLACED UNDER SAME RECALL. HAD NO WRECKS WITH IT. I CAN'T FIND ANYONE TO REPRESENT ME IN SETTLEMENT. TRUCK WAS MOVING WHEN HIT DEER & STATIONARY WHEN A TRUCK HIT US IN REAR & SIDE BACK.

TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP BC MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & STARTED TO BLINK & DING. BARELY MADE IT THERE & SO THEY CHECKED IT & SAID THE ROCKER ARM NEEDS REPLACING. SO THEY ORDERED IT & SAID ITS ON BACK ORDER & THAT THERE WERE 600 AHEAD OF ME. IF IT'S SO MANY THAT NEED THIS PART, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 3 1/2 WEEKS & STILL I DON'T HAVE MY TRUCK.

WE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSFER CASE AND DRIVE SHAFT ALONG WITH THE EVAPORATOR BOX ON THE GAS TANK WENT FLYING OUT THE [XXX] OF THE TRUCK. IT LIFTED US OFF THE GROUND PUT A WHOLE IN THE GAS TANK AND THE TRUCK COULD HAVE EXPLODED IF WE DIDN'T GET IT STOPED IN TIME SO IT DIDN'T SPARK. OUR HOLE FAMILY COULD HAVE DIED THAT DAY! INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

AFTER I REFUEL, WHETHER IT'S 10 GAL. OR TOP IT OFF, THE TRUCK WILL STALL EVERYTIME AS I DRIVE JUST THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES(MAYBE AS SOON AS 100 YARDS OR UP TO 10-12 MILES OR SO). IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I COME TO A STOP, LIKE AT A RED LIGHT OR AT LOW SPEED MAKING A TURN. IT ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP, NOT ALWAYS EASILY THOUGH. OF COURSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING IS LOST. THIS HAS PUT ME IN A COUPLE OF DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHILE MAKING A TURN AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER STEERING. AFTER IT'S STALLED SEVERAL (4-5) TIMES, IT SEEMS TO RECOVER UNTIL I REFUEL AGAIN AND WE START ALL OVER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO FINALLY FIX THIS RECURRING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME NOW. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOR THE FIRST 40,000 OR SO MILES. IT NOW HAS 65,000 MILES AND THIS PROBLEM RE-OCCURS WITH EVERY SINGLE REFUEL.

ABOUT 40% OF THE TIME WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE (EITHER FROM THE DOOR CONTROL SWITCH OR THE REMOTE), THE LOCKING MOTOR CYCLES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A COUPLE OF DODGE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH A TECHNICIAN WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THIS COULD POTENTIALLY OVERHEAT AND CATCH FIRE! THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW.

DISCOVERED MANUFACTURING DEFECT AT ELECTRICAL PLUG THAT SITS ABOVE LEFT BANK WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD MEETS THE EXHAUST PIPE. FURTHERMORE, THE CONNECTOR SITS RIGHT BETWEEN THE BLOCK AND THE FIREWALL. THE CONNECTOR AND IT'S WIRING HAVE AN EXTREME TURN OFF OF THE PLUG AND CREATED SUCH TENSION THAT THE PLASTIC CONVOLUTED TUBING WAS PULLED BACK FROM THE WIRING. ALL OF THE WIRING TO APPROXIMATELY 6' BACK FROM THE CONNECTOR IS BARE AND THE WIRES ARE TOUCHING ONE ANOTHER. I FEEL THAT IF THE ROUTE OF THE WIRING HAD LESS OF AN EXTREME BEND AND THERE WAS SOMETHING TO SECURE THE WIRING WAS IN PLACE, THERE WOULDN'T BE THIS CONCERNING ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE FCA AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME MONEY. I AM AN ELECTRICIAN BY TRADE AND I FEAR THAT THIS COULD AFFECT A MULTITUDE OF VEHICLES. THE TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED,, AND WHEN SITTING IDLE AT TIMES. ALSO, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO REACT TO THE COMMANDS GIVEN WITH THE GEAR SELECTOR. I'M UNSURE WHETHER THIS IS RELATED OR NOT.

WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY CAME APART WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING A CURVE, TIRE AND PART OF THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY BROKE OFF AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE STALLS UNDER BRAKING JUST AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE, THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES UNTIL SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL ARE USED. POWER STEERING AND BRAKING IS LOST DUE TO ENGINE STALLING. THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD SURFACE AT ANY SPEED. ENGINE WILL RESTART SOMETIMES AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WENT OUT AND YHE EGR VALVE WENT OUT ALSO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED FROM THE RECOVERY UNIT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BLISTERS TO THE HANDS AND LEGS, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (MCPEEK'S DODGE OF ANAHEIM, 1221 S AUTO CENTER DR, ANAHEIM, CA 92806) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FILLER PIPE AND/OR TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. *TT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN I STOP FOR GAS, I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK, GAS COMES GUSHING OUT FROM AROUND THE TANK OPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ABOUT A PINT OR MORE SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER ME THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. I AM AFRAID OF THE VOLATILITY OF THE GAS SO I WON'T TAKE A PHOTO FOR FEAR OF A SPARK. NOT ONLY IS THIS PHYSICAL GETTING FUEL ON MY PERSON BUT AN ENVIRONMENT HAZARD TOO. NEED HELP SOON THE FACTORY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE FIXED SIMILAR TRUCKS THAT DO THE EXACT SAME THING, THEY SAY I AM NOT COVERED! THEY SAY IT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE ROLL-OVER VALVE STICKING. NOT ONLY AM I AT RISK OF BURNING UP AT THE STATION, I COULD BE INCINERATED IN A ROLL-OVER CRASH!!

IS THERE WAS AN EXPIRATION DATE ON THE AIR BAG RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE? I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE RECALL REPAIRED, BUT THE DEALER DIDN'T HAVE ANYMORE PARTS IN STOCK. THAT WAS LAST SUMMER, AND NOW THEY ARE BACKED UP WITH APPOINTMENTS. I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DEALER. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE TIME DOES NOT RUN OUT FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE DONE ON THIS VEHICLE.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WIPER MODULE AND FROM WHAT I FOUND OUT IS THE WIPER MODULE ACCORDING TO DODGE IS THE LINKAGE ON THE WIPERS AND I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER SAID THE LINKAGE WAS BENT AND WOULDN'T FIX IT SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND ENDED UP PAYING 340.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIX

WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. THEY ALSO PERIODICALLY BLINK OFF FOR A SECOND THEN RETURN. THIS MAY HAPPEN ANY AMOUNT OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED OUT OF GEAR. I OFTEN TRAVEL S STATE HIGHWAY BUT DOESN'TATTER WHERE OR WHEN I CAN BET ON IT HAPPENING.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NOISY AFTER BEING REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES. VEHICLE HAS 73,000 MILES.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR WHEEL DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

MY TRUCK CAUGHT ON FIRE IN ENGINE AREA , ENGULFED BACK TO THE BOX WHOLE TRUCK DESTROYED! INSPECTOR NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED FIRE. TRUCK WAS TOTALED. STATIONARY FOR TWO HOURS AT WORK.

WHILE TRYING TO FILL FUEL TANK STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION, FUEL SPILLS OUT AND SHUTS DOWN FUEL FILLING NOZZLE, DEALER REPLACED FUEL FILL TUBE ON 11/22/2017 BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NOW CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO B PAY THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ MANY DODGE FORUMS WITH HUNDRED OF OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER A GAS FILL-UP. I START MY TRUCK AFTER FILLING UP AT THE PUMP. PULL OUT OF THE STATION, GO A LITTLE WAYS DOWN THE ROAD, STOP AT A STOPLIGHT. SIT AT IDLE FOR MAYBE 30 SECONDS & THE TRUCK DIES. THE TRUCK ONLY DOES THIS AFTER FILLUPS. NO CHECK ENGINE. NO CODES. LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSTANTLY AFTER EVERY FILL UP. THE TRUCK RUNS FINE AFTERWARDS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIR BAGS AND I TOOK IT TO DODGE DEALER ON MARINA BLVD SAN LEANDRO CALIFORNIA 94577, THEY FIXED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE I AM STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE. I NOT NOT RECEIVED NOTICE AS OF YET.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ACCELERATION OR GAS PEDAL WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS SOMETIMES TO ACCELERATE. LIKE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY OR INTERSTATE OR TRYING TO PASS A SLOW-MOVING VEHICLE MY GAS PEDAL OR ACCELERATION PEDAL HAS A TENDENCY TO STICK. I THEN HAVE TO STOMP ON IT OR TRY TO PULL UP ON IT WITH MY FOOT TO FREE IT UP. AS I HAVE STATED IN MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT I GUESS NOTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT ON TILL SOMEONE IS HURT INJURED OR KILLED.

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT A 2015 DODGE TRUCK AT AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT 3118 GOVERNMENT BLVD MOBILE, AL 36606. I USED MY 2008 DODGE 1500 AS A TRADE IN AND BECAUSE THE RECALL PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME THEY SEND THAT THEY COULD NOT SELL THAT TRUCK BECAUSE IT HAD ARECALL. THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME 4,000 ON TRADE THAT TRUCK WAS WORTH AROUND 8,000 DOLLARS. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER ABOUT TWO WEEK LATER AND THE 2008 THAT I TRADED WAS OFF THE LOT AND I AM SURE THAT THEY SOLD TO SOME BUY HERE HEAR PAY HERE I FELL LIKE THEY CHEATED ME OUT OF THE 4,000 DOLLARS MORE FOR THE TRUCK.

INTERMITTENT FRONT END VIBRATION DESCRIBED ONLINE AS "DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (OVER 55) STEERING WHEEL WILL RANDOMLY VIBRATE AND SHAKE AND VEHICLE FRONT END SHAKES AS IF THE FRONT WHEELS ARE "FIGHTING EACH OTHER" AND OUT OF UNISON WITH THE OTHER. SLOWING DOWN WILL STOP THE VIBRATION AND VEHICLE WILL SETTLE DOWN AND RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURS WITHOUT NOTICE, BUT ESPECIALLY WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ACROSS A ROUGH PATCH OR TRANSITION FROM ONE ROAD SURFACE TO ANOTHER. MORE LIKELY ON HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY FOR YEARS. SERVICE CENTERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE. HAVE INSPECTED FRONT END, SHOCKS, TIE RODS, BALL JOINTS, ETC. AND FOUND NO REASON FOR TROUBLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITH THE HELP OF A GOOD SAMARITAN AND MY EVASIVE MANEUVER COURSE REQUIRED BY MY JOB, BEFORE ANYTHING TRAGIC HAPPENED. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED MY SUSPICION OF A BROKEN TIE ROD, SPECIFICALLY THE LEFT TIE ROD WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED ON EVERY 2008 RAM EXCEPT MY 1500. I FIND THIS VERY SUSPECT THAT ALL THE OTHER RAMS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND FIXED EXCEPT MY MODEL, YET I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I AM GRATEFUL THAT I DID NOT GET HURT, OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURE ANYONE ELSE, HOWEVER THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED IN FURTHER BY THE GOVERNMENT. ALL OF THESE TRUCKS ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY ARE FIXED. ACCORDING TO MY NORMAL MECHANIC, THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE TIE ROD. HE HAS REPLACED MANY 1500 TIE RODS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OWNERS, THIS SHOULD NOT BE. PLEASE ORDER RAM TO ISSUE A RECALL ON ALL THE 2008 RAM TRUCKS TO KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE. THANK YOU
