THE TRUCK WILL THROW YOU INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AND YOU HOPE AND PRAY NO ONE IS THERE. SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES AT NORMAL SPEEDS. NOT A GOOD FEELING AND NOT FAIR DODGE ONLY PICKED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF THESE TO FIX.
WHEN PUTTING MY TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO THE LEFT MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL COMES ON. SOMETIMES THE LEFT WILL BE WORKING THEN IT WILL SWITCH OVER TO THE RIGHT. TURN MY RIGHT BLINKER ON AND IT STOS THEN COMES ON AGAIN STOPS ETC. JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING O HAPPEN. VILLAGE MOTORS FROM MILLERSBURG OH SAID IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS WHICH THEY REPLACED 2 YERS AGO WHEN I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
FAILED TIE RODS AND TIE ROD ENDS, STABILIZER BAR CONTROL LINK AND BALL JOINTS LOWER SUSPENSION. LEAKING RACK AND PINION (VISIBLE WHEN CHECKING THE SUSPENSION CHALLENGES). THE VEHICLE "POPS" LOUDLY, WHICH CAN ALSO BE FELT, WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT AT ANY SPEED OR DRIVING OVER POTHOLES OR BUMPS.

THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVEN ME MANY PROBLEMS AND MOST RECENTLY VERY DANGEROUS ONES. A FEW MONTHS AGO ON MY WAY TO WORK AROUND 4AM THE DRIVE SHAFT BROKE OFF AND FLEW OUT AT 75 MPH. LUCKILY THERE WASN'T MUCH TRAFFIC DURING THAT TIME AND THE BACK PART OF THE DRIVE SHAFT IS THE ONE THAT BROKE OFF NOT THE FRONT SO THE TRUCK DIDN'T FLIP OVER. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN REPAIRED SINCE THEN. NOW A FEW DAYS AGO MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND IT TURNED OFF ON HER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS WORKING OUT OF TOWN. ON MY RETURN I FOUND THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ON AT THE DASHBOARD. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS TYPICALLY IN RELATION TO A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY. I FOUND THIS TO BE MORE THAN COMMON ON MANY DODGE VEHICLES AND OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE INTEGRATED INTO THE TIPM AND NOT SERVICEABLE. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO NOT BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT NOW APPEARS I AM BEING FORCED TO SPEND $1200 ON A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS VEHICLE HAS GONE FROM BEING MY DAILY COMMUTER TO A HUGE LIABILITY BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED FROM NORTH CAROLINA IN HUMIDITY AND HOT SUN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME- APPROX TWO OF THOSE YEARS WAS CONSISTENT HUMIDITY AND HIGH TEMPERATURES WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. I AM NOW DUE TO RELOCATE TO CALIFORNIA AND I AM REQUESTING MY TRUCK BE REPURCHASED BY MANUFACTURER DUE TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AWAITING THESE PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE. CARMAX SOLD ME THIS TRUCK KNOWING THESE SAFETY RECALLS WERE OPEN AND NEVER TOLD ME! I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE KNOWING IT'S PUTTING MY FAMILY LIVES AT RISK. THERE IS ALSO A THIRD REAR BRAKE LIGHT WATER LEAK WHICH I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE REAR WINDOW! ONLY TO STILL HAVE PUDDLES UNDER MY SEAT - NOW FLOOR WARPED AND SMELLS LIKE MOLD. MANUFACTURERS IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AS I SEE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WITH OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS!

80 MILE DRIVE HOME IN RAIN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING! TRUCK HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. INTERMITTENT WIPER STOPS, STARTS, RUNS AT DIFFERENT PACES. COMPLETELY SCARY TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND CAN'T SEE THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS! THE COMPANY SHOULD REPLACE THIS AT NO COST. APPARENTLY THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RECALLED, BUT MY VIN WASN'T A PART OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE? A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT WON'T TAKE CARE OF A LOYAL CUSTOMER WITH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR THE SAFETY OF USING THE VEHICLE IS LIMITED BY WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHAT IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND I HAD BEEN KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY WIPERS DIDN'T WORK AND THE COMPANY NEW IT WAS AN ISSUE AND WOULDN'T FIX IT? VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS PROBLEM AND THE COMPANY'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 60 MPH, FOLLOWING THE LAW, RAIN STARTED COMING DOWN, WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK SO I COULD SEE THE ROAD. EXTREMELY UPSETTING AND SCARY TO BE IN THAT SITUATION. WOULD HATE FOR MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. SEMI TRUCKS WERE SPLASHING WATER ONTO MY WINDSHIELD AND I COULDN'T CLEAR THE WATER TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!!

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE MAY 2016 FOR PARTS TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL.
I WAS PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING MALL TURNING LEFT ON THE HWY 5 IN HOLLY SPRINGS GA WHEN I WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT RAN A RED LIGHT. THE IMPACT TO MY TRUCK WAS JUST IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL. THE BUMPER WAS CRUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FRAME AND THE FRAME WAS BENT OVER 1 FOOT. THE TRUCK HAD BOTH FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS AND NONE OF THEM WENT OFF. MY HEAD HIT THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS WINDOW AND DOCTORS ARE SAYING I MAY NEED BOTH SHOULDER AND NECK SURGERY. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD NOT BE THE CASE IF THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED. WHILE I WAS NOT TRAVELING VERY FAST,THE OTHER CAR WAS TRAVELING FAST ENOUGH TO TOTAL MY TRUCK

RECENTLY WENT OVER 100K MILES AND FUEL TANK IS NOT FILLING PROPERLY, AS IT ACTUALLY TRIPS THE PUMP EVERY HALF GALLON OR SO. AFTER GETTING TANK FILLED, TRUCK STALLS FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 15 MILES. TRUCK HAS STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED, COMING TO A STOP, ETC. AFTER ABOUT 15 MILES, STALLING STOPS, BUT ONCE AGAIN THE TRUCK WILL NOT TAKE FUEL PROPERLY. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO REPLACE FUEL TANK WITH AN EXACT REPLICA THAT STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ONLINE RESEARCH, PROBLEM IS STATED TO BE A STUCK VENT LINE VALVE INTERNAL TO THE GAS TANK. ALMOST $2,000 DOLLARS WANTED TO REPLACE THIS TANK WITH ANOTHER TANK THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. WHEN TRUCK DOES STALL, LOSS OF STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. UNTIL I DROP IT INTO NEUTRAL, START IT AGAIN, AND PUT BACK IN DRIVE WHILE ALL THE TIME TRYING TO MAKE SURE I DO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

AFTER YOU FUEL UP THE VEHICLE WILL SHORTLY STALL SEVERAL TIMES AFTERWARDS. LEAVING YOU WITH NO POWER STEERING. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS IS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES ON PUBLIC ROADS AND EVEN HIGHWAYS. I WOULD HAVE ALMOST CRASHED IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THAT I HAD LOST POWER STEERING. I HAVE ALSO HEARD COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO SAY THE SAME ABOUT THERE DODGE PICKUP OF SIMILAR YEAR. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A BIG CONCERN, AND I SHOULD BE DOING MORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY TRUCK HAS QUIT FUNCTIONING 3 DIFFERENT TIMES (DAYS). ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND ENGINE. MOST TIMES IT IS STILL RUNNING BUT I CANNOT MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE. THE LAST TIME THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY AND I COULD NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE MADE REPAIRS BASED ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS WRONG, ONLY TO HAVE IT STOP EXACTLY THE SAME 4 OR 5 DAYS LATER. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS CONDENSER, OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND BATTERY CABLE, THE SECOND REPAIR WAS THE BRAIN. THIS THIRD TIME THEY HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND YESTERDAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM CODES WHEN ON COMPUTER. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT NOR SAFE TO DRIVE A TRUCK THAT JUST STOPS WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ON A WEBSITE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND HAVE FOUND 10 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH VERY SIMILAR VEHICLE PROBLEM. I AM LEAVING WORK EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS AND AM THANKFUL I AM NOT TRAVELING HOME DURING RUSH HOUR; I'D LIKELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE ALMOST $2000. AND STILL NO TRUCK.

65 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY. MY JOB IS LOCATED 60 MILES FROM HOME, ONE WAY, ALL HIGHWAY MILES. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER RIDING WITH ME. IF I SLOW DOWN I CAN USUALLY REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, ONE DAY WE MAY END UP IN DITCH. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK HOPING FOR A RELIABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I, WHICH I DON'T FEEL I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED! I AM TERRIFIED FOR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, STEERING MAY GO OUT, AND I CAN'T MISS WORK DUE TO DODGE MISTAKES! WE HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 2MONTHS. SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS!
IF I GET A LITTLE BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY I LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL, ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEARS. BUT LATELY IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY STEERING BOX AND WHEELS MAINLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE LIKE IF I'M DRAGGING SOMETHING AND AS IF MY STEERING IS FALLING APART. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR CONCERN THAT I RECENTLY STOPPED DRIVING IT. *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.
