2009 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

I OWN A 2009 DODGE RAM , VIN #[XXX], THAT IS COVERED BY RECALL 13V-038. DODGE/FCA AND IT'S AGENT STERICYCLE REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE RECALL. ON MARCH 18, 2019 ,AFTER CALLING THE RECALL NUMBER FOR 3 WEEKS, [XXX] WITH STERICYCLE CALLED TO OFFER ME $8,560 FOR MY DODGE RAM 1500. THAT NUMBER IS OF COURSE NOT THE PURCHASE PRICE I PAID BUT IS THE ONLY OFFER [XXX] WOULD MAKE. I RELUCTANTLY AGREED AND SENT HER THE INFORMATION SHE REQUESTED. UNFORTUNATELY ON MARCH 28TH WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO DEL RIO, TX FROM MY HOME IN SAN ANGELO, TX THE DEFECT OCCURRED AND THE DRIVE TRAIN DETACHED FROM MY REAR AXLE. MY TRUCK WAS STRANDED IN SONORA, TX. I IMMEDIATELY INFORMED [XXX] OF THE SITUATION AND ASKED FOR HER GUIDANCE. SHE HAS REFUSED TO RESPOND TO MY PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS UNTIL MAY 9TH WHEN SHE EMAILED ME THAT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR TOWING. SHE REFUSES TO RESPOND TO MY REQUESTS FOR THE PROCESS TO SUBMIT MY TOWING EXPENSES OR PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ON WHEN THE BUYBACK WILL OCCUR. I DON?T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A COMPANY COMPLY WITH A RECALL. I HAVE HAD TO BORROW VEHICLES TO GET TO WORK. I HAVE HAD TO RENT VEHICLES FOR WORK. I HAVE EXHAUSTED MY RESOURCES. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I AM THE ONLY CONSUMER BEING HARMED BY DODGE/FCA'S REFUSAL TO COMPLY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

ABS CONTROLLER STOPPED WORKING. THIS RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF YOUR ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC THIS PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED DUE TO A NATION WIDE BACK ORDER OF THE COMPONENTS NEEDED DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF FAILURES THAT HAS OCCURRED.

BIGGEST THINGS IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON, JUST WORRIES ME WITH IT JUST EXPLODING AND COMING OUT, I JUST THINK IT'S A PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY JUST COMING ON FOR NO REASON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

ON MARCH 5, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. LATER IN THE DAY WHEN DRIVING, THE TRUCK WOULD LOSE POWER WHEN I ACCELERATED. I CALLED A DOGE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EARLY THE NEXT MORNING. THE NEXT MORNING, THE SOUND WAS LOUDER AND HAD LESS POWER THROUGH ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AGREED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS LATER CALLED AND TOLD MY FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS CHARGED $1,045. WHEN I DROVE HOME, THE TRUCK STALLED OUT ONCE BUT I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS INCLUDING ONE THAT WORKED AT A DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIP LISTEN TO THE KNOCKING AND EACH MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY SUSPECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE LIFTERS. ALSO, ACCORDING TO EACH MECHANIC, THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DOGE RAM TRUCK. I TOWED THE TRUCK TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT THE 5TH CYLINDER LIFTER HAD FROZE UP AND CARVED A GROOVE INTO THE CAM. THE MECHANIC HAS ORDER THE LIFTERS AND PARTS TO REPAIR THE ENGINE AND FOUND A BACKLOG OF ORDERS FOR THE SAME PARTS. I'M CURRENTLY HAVING TO RENT A CAR. MY WORK REQUIRES ME TO SOMETIMES DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY 100 MILES ROUND TRIP. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT IN THAT REQUIRED SITUATION AT THE TIME OF THE BREAKDOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATE AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE MOTOR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 185,000.

WHEN FUELING THE TRUCK, FUEL OVERFLOWS AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL OUT ONTO THE TRUCK AND GROUND. THE AMOUNT IS SIGNIFICANT AND LEAVES A POOL OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY GAS STATION, AT ANY PUMP REGARDLESS OF TIME OF DAY OR SEASON. THE PICTURES I ATTACHED ARE EXAMPLES I FOUND ON LINE THAT ILLUSTRATE THE ISSUE EXACTLY AS I EXPERIENCE IT.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODE FOR CYLINDER MISFIRE. DID RESEARCH ONLINE WHAT PROBLEM MIGHT BE AND SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH EXACT SAME ISSUE. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND HE SAID LIFTER FAILURE. ROLLERS SEIZED UP AND TOOK LOBE OFF CAM. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME THING I SEEN ON THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

THE TIPM HAS GONE UP WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND ITS VERY COSTLY ALSO I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR I HAVE DONE THIS LIKE 4 TIMES ITS A LOT OF MONEY AND A HASSLE WHY HAVENT THESE THINGS BEEN RECALLED

SO THE HEMI 5.7 HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON CYLINDER 5 MISFIRE AND RESULTING IN MAJOR ENGINE WORK DO TO THE MDS SYSTEM DODGE FAILED MISERABLY ENGINEERING . MY TRUCK HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND I GET IT MAINTAINCE REGULARLY . WHY AT CONSUMERS HAVING TO COME OUT OF POCKET AND IT NOT BE RECALLED YET FROM DODGE FOR POOR DESIGN ON THIS ENGINE .

THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE ABS MODULATOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD REPAIR THE FAILURE, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WITH THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT SUSPECTED THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE RUSHED AND NOT COMPLETELY PROPERLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

ABS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH ARE ON AND THE VECHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM IS CAUSING A SITUATION WHERE THE BRAKES ARE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY INPUT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN DRIVING, THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT A RAPID PACE, AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLES REAR BRAKES ARE SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SYSTEM CHECKED BY 2 DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR COMPANIES AND EACH SAID THE COMPUTER CODES INDICATED AN ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILURE AND NEEDS REPLACED. IN THE NORTHERN WINTER CLIMATE WHERE I LIVE, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT LOSS OF CONTROL ON ICY ROADS. I AM VERY CAREFUL TO HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL BUT IT STILL CAUSES A 'JERKY ' FEEL WHEN DRIVING.

4TH GENERATION RAM 1500 PICKUPS WITH THE 5.7L HEMI ARE BECOMING NOTORIOUS FOR PREMATURE LIFTER FAILURE RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE CAMSHAFT LOBE. THESE REPAIRS ARE OFTEN OCCURING JUST AFTER EXPIRY OF CCHRYSLER'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CASES ON ONLINE OWNER FORUMS THAT PRESENT SIMILARLY. CHRYSLER HAS NOT SOUGHT TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WITH OWNERS. SEE THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR DOZENS OF EXAMPLES FROM THE LAST FEW YEARS: HTTPS://WWW.RAMFORUMZ.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=188978 MAJOR POWER LOSS OCCURED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN "LIMP" MODE. THE RESULT WAS A NEAR ACCIDENT WITH A LARGE TRUCK AS POWER LOSS OCCURED WHILE PASSING ON THE HIGHWAY.

THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE BEHIND THE DASH OF MY TRUCK. TOOK IT IN TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND IT WAS THE ACTUATOR BEHIND MY HVAC THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL THE K17 THAT HAD BEEN DONE THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX THIS ISSUE APPARENTLY. AFTER TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND MAKING CALLS TO RAM THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULDN'T BE FIXED FOR FREE DUE TO THE FACT THE K17 WASN'T AN ACTUAL RECALL AND JUST A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION LETTER. THEY QUOTED ME AT $1500 DUE TO THE FACT THE DASH HAD TO BE REMOVED TO GET TO THIS ACTUATOR AND SUGGESTED I REPLACE ALL OF THEM IF I WAS GOING TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS WRONG AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SINCE THE MANUFACTURER TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED.

ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING NO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES OR TRACTION CONTROL. VEHICLE THROWING CODES C2200 AND C120D. THE PART IS A DEALER ONLY PART AND I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THIS REPAIRED TWO WEEKS AFTER FAILURE.

I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED UNDER RECALL 7 TIMES SINCE THEY CAME OUT. I HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY BEEN TOLD THE PARTS ARE BACKORDERED AND MY VEHICLE CAN'T BE FIXED. I CONTACTED FCA AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT?

DODGE RAM 1500 CREW CAB, V6 ENGINE. DIAL GEAR SHIFTER GOES OUT OF PARK WHILE STOPPED AND PLACED IN PARK. WILL MOVE FORWARD. I WAS STOPPED(STATIONARY), VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. ON A HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD, THE STRIKING VEHICLE IN FRONT. POLICE REPORT COMPLETED, CASE #18-101657

THE MANIFOLD BOLTS ON THE 5.7 HEMI BREAK SOMETIMES BREAKS OFF IN THE HEAD AND ARE NOT EASILY REMOVED. THUS CAUSING AN EXHAUST LEAK (AKA HEMI TICK). AND MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 77000 MILES ON IT. BOUGHT USED SO NO WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIRS.

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD SEALS ON THE SIDES ARE STARTING TO COME OFF. WORRIED THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS OR INTERSTATE FEARING THAT MY WINDSHIELD WILL FLY OFF. MANOR SAFETY HAZARD.

IN 2018,YR 2012 DODGE RAM TRUCK, WAS RECALLED FOR THE T79 RECALL. AFTER RECALL WAS INSTALLED, NOW TRUCK STALLS-GOES DEAD WHEN BRAKE PUSHED & DIES IN REVERSE. AFTER RESEARCH, IT'S A MAJOR ISSUE W/THE 1500'S YET THERE HASNT BEEN A RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT DODGE HAS PUT THE OWNERS IN. SO WHEN I BRAKE FOR ANYTHING ON A HWY, IT GOES DEAD! THE DEALER CHECKS FOR AN ERROR CODE & YET THERE IS NO ERROR CODE SO THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT-DEPENDENT ON COMPUTERS VERSUS HANDS ON MECHANICS. DEALER SUGGESTED TO LEAVE MY TRUCK & THEY'LL DRIVE IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS WHICH IS RANDOM. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT MECHANICS HAVE NO REAL HANDS-ON MECHANICAL ABILITY & DEPEND ON COMPUTERS TO PROVIDE ERROR CODES. AFTER THE T79 RECALL WAS DONE, WAS IT REQUIRED TO UPGRADE/UPDATE OR REFRESH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AFTERWARDS? DEALER SAID THE RECALL DID NOT CALL FOR AN COMPUTER UPDATE AS DODGE DID NOT REQUIRE IT. PER INTERNET FORUMS, YOUTUBE, & INTERNET, THE STALLING IS A MAJOR ISSUE! GUESS I HAVE TO TAKE CHANCES W/THIS ISSUE OF STALLS/DYING ON HWY TRAVEL-DANGEROUS! ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL HAS SOMETHING LOOSE INSIDE OF IT. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE AIRBAG HAS COME LOOSE & IS MOVING WHEN WHEEL TURNED. ANY RECALLS OR WORD ON THIS? AGAIN THE DEALER PLUGS IN HIS COMPUTER & DOESN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN HEAR IT. DODGE NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE & RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE MISTAKES-ESP SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! ALSO, ON THE 1ST DAY OF PURCHASING MY TRUCK, THE PASS AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED

I NOTICED THAT WHEN BREAKING AT A RED LIGHT OR DURING HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS, MY TRUCK LOOSES COMPLETE POWER. I CANNOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER AWAY FROM TRAFFIC. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT I WILL CERTAINLY WILL LIKE TO GET SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V821000 (POWER TRAIN) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (SOUTHERN MAINE MOTORS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 824 PORTLAND ROAD ROUTE 1, SACO, MAINE 04072) CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR.

ON JUNE 9,2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 10:20AM I ENTERED AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE'S SHIFTER WAS PLACED INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. I EXITED MY NOW PARKED VEHICLE AND WENT INSIDE AT 10:21. PRIOR TO EXITING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY ROCKS AND THE AND THE PARKING GEAR ENGAGES INDICATING THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. MOMENTS LATER, 6 MINUTES AT 10:27AM JUNE 9, 2017 THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARDS FROM A STATIONARY POSITION AND STRUCK THE BRICK MAILBOX AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY CAUSING UNREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE MAILBOX. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE BUMPER AND UNDERCARRIAGE. THE NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET WAS OUTSIDE DURING THE INCIDENT AND WITNESSED THE EVENT AND NOTIFIED ME. THE HOME SECURITY CAMERA CAPTURED THE ABOVE DESCRIBED OF EVENTS. AFTER NOTIFYING FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES I LEARNED OF A SAFETY RECALL NHTSA RECALL # 17V-821 THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK. THIS SAFETY RECALL MAY RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING: THE TRANSMISSION MAY BE SHIFTED OF THE PARK POSITION WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION OR A BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION. THIS INCREASES THE POTENTIAL FOR AN UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY THAT MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH OR INJURY WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THIS IS WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED. THE FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES INVESTIGATIONS STATED THEY WERE SORRY AND NOT RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. ( THE VIDEOS ARE IN MP3 FORMAT AND I CAN EMAIL THEM BUT NOT ATTACH THEM TO THIS FORM)

RIGHT FRONT HEAD LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO OUT. BEEN REPAIRED TWICE AND TECH. SAID THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.....DODGE DOES NOT SELL THESE....THEY WILL REPLACE FOR 3-4K!! I'M STUCK WITH A PIECE OF *&^%$## CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT VERY FRUSTRATING!

ON MY 2009 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI I HAVE BROKEN BOLTS ON MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY HVAC SYSTEM IN MY TRUCK ALSO. BOTH OF WHICH I SEE ARE VERY COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRUCKS.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON ALL THE TIME, ALL TROUBLE LIGHTS ON DASH ARE ON, SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER ARE DEAD, FRONT WINDOWS WONT OPERATE, BACK WINDOWS DO OPERATE. A/C WILL BLOW AIR BUT NOT COLD AIR. HORN WILL BEEP INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CAR NOT IN USE. NO TROUBLE CODES WHEN SCANNED. 2 DEALERS HAVE IDENTIFIED IT AS THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE PROBLEM. PART IS UNAVAILABLE FROM OEM AS IT IS IN "ENGINEERING REVIEW".

I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON A 70 MPH HIGHWAY AND MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT I WAS TOWING A FULL TRAILER AND HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL. I GOT THE TRUCK PULLED OVER AND CHANGED THE TIRE AND UPON INSPECTION THE VALVE STEM HAD CORRODED AND CAME APART, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE REAR PASSENGER STEM IS ALSO CORRODED AND ONLY HALF IS REMAINING! I HATE THINKING WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF BOTH BLEW OUT OR I WAS DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT WITH THE KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 17,800 MILES ON IT. I AM LEARY TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER! I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE ALL 4 VALVE STEMS AND I THINK ALL OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED!

I HAVE HAD THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE REPLACED TWICE NOW DUE TO FAILURE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN DODGES. IT HAS CAUSED MY WINDOW DEFROSTER, WIPERS, DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS RANDOMLY NOT TO WORK. PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING ELECTRICAL. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG GOES ON AND OFF, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY ABS BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AND LOCKING UP ON ME. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THERE'S COLD WEATHER OR RAIN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DEFROSTER OR WIPERS ARENT WORKING OR MY TURN SIGNAL IS CUTTING OUT. THE TIPM ON OTHER JEEP AND CHRYSLER PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY DODGE HASNT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FARTHER.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY MY FRONT LEFT WHEEL FLANGE SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL BEARING CAUSING THE WHEEL TO COME OFF. THE TRUCK IS A TWO WHEEL DRIVE HOWEVER DODGE USES THE SAME UNIT WHEEL BEARING AS ON A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK. TWO WHEEL DRIVE TRUCKS DO NOT HAVE A CV AXLE SHAFT THROUGH THE BEARING AND SO IF THE WHEEL FLANGE SEPARATES THERE IS NOTHING TO HOLD THE UNIT BEARING TOGETHER. TO DRAMATIZE THE ISSUE THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON MY SAME TRUCK A YEAR PREVIOUS UNDER NEAR IDENTICAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE FIRST TIME I THINK PART DEFECT, THE SECOND TIME I THINK DESIGN DEFECT. IRONICALLY I HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY ONTO SECONDARY ROAD AND WAS MAKING SLOW SPEED TURNS WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE WHHEL BEARING DID NOT FAIL. THE FLANGE WITH THE LUG STUDS FOR THE WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE BEARING. TWO TIMES, OPPOSITE SIDES ON THE SAME TRUCK.

WAITING ON SOLUTION FOR RECALL FOR SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR, WAS TOLD BY COMPANY TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE. NOW EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE HAS STRETCHED SO MUCH, IT HAS A MAJOR SAG ISSUE.

MY FUEL PUMP WON'T SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS OFF CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN, TRUCK LOSSES POWER OUT OF NO WHERE, AND DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK SOMETIMES. I'VE SPENT A FEW THOUSAND TO TRY TO GET THIS FIXED JUST TO LEARN IT'S THE TIPM.YOUR OPTIONS WON'T ALLOW ME TO CHECK THE PROPER BOXES
