AS I'M DRIVING,THE TRUCK JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW. TODAY I CAME WITH IN INCHES OF MY LIFE WHEN AS I WAS TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY IT JUST SHUT OFF. ON SOCIAL MEDIA I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. BUT YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM.

2/25 I DISCOVERED THE FRAME CROSSMEMBER WHERE ONE OF THE TWO STRAPS WHICH HOLD UP THE FUEL TANK RUSTED AWAY TO THE POINT THAT THE STRAP HAS FALLEN OUT OF THE FRAME. I CONTACTED RAM CUSTOMER CARE VIA ONLINE CHAT ASKING FOR A REPAIR ESTIMATE, IF THEY COULD VERIFY THAT THE PART NUMBER I HAVE LOCATED CAN ACTUALLY RECTIFY THE SITUATION, IF THEY COULD VERIFY IF THE TSB I'VE LOCATED IS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, AND IF THEY COULD ADVISE WHICH DEALER CLOSE TO ME HAS AN ON-SITE BODY SHOP TO PERFORM THE REPAIR AND IF THEY'RE HIGHLY RATED BY FCA, AND THEIR ONLY RESPONSE WAS TO ADVISE THEY CAN SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME AND PROVIDE THE NUMBER FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, WHICH THEY WERE UNWILLING TO COVER TRANSPORTATION COSTS. THE ATTACHED FILES SHOW THE STRAP ITSELF WHICH IS INTACT, THE PORTION OF THE FRAME WHICH THE STRAP PULLED OUT OF AND IS RUSTED, A PICTURE OF HOW LOW THE FUEL TANK IS CURRENTLY HANGING, AND THE PDF OF THE CONVERSATION WITH THE FCA REPRESENTATIVE WHICH OCCURRED 2/27.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTED TO THE ENGINE BLOCK IS LEAKING AT 75000 MILES, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THIS IS DUE TO BOLTS BREAKING OFF AT THE ENGINE BLOCK LEVEL. BOLTS ARE SHEARING INSIDE THE ENGINE HOLE THREADS. THIS IS A VERY DISTINCT AND REOCCURRING ISSUE PLAGUED BY EVERY DODGE RAM OWNER. PLEASE PERFORM A SEARCH AT GOOGLE (OR ANY OTHER ENGINE), KEYWORDS "DODGE RAM EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK" (HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?Q=DODGE+RAM+EXHAUST+MANIFOLD+LEAK&OQ=DODGE+RAM). THERE IS A VERY LOUD DISTINCT TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE ENGINE MANIFOLD. AFTER 30-60 SECONDS IT ALMOST DISAPPEARS; SIMILAR TO ANY OTHER VIDEO OR COMPLAINT FOUND ON THE WWW. SOME HAVE CALLED THEIR DODGE DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AND EVEN THE DEALERS ARE RECOGNIZING THAT IT IS A FLAW BUT A RECALL WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

MY TRUCK HAS ISSUES WITH ALL THE ACTUATORS FOR HEATING AND COOLING. IT DOES IT RIGHT WHEN U START IT UP, AND ALSO WHILE YOUR DRIVING. I CAN'T SWITCH FAN MODES, I HAVE NO DEFROST SINCE THEY WON'T SWITCH. THE ONE ACTUATOR THAT MIGHT BE WORKING STAYS CLICKING. I KNOW THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS (K-17) THERE SAYING IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN,BUT CLEARLY IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AS THE RECALL.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL/PINION FAILURE WHICH WAS REPLACED IN 2014 ACCORDING TO DODGE AND HAS FAILED AGAIN JANUARY 2018. LOUD NOISE IS HEARD FROM REAR OF TRUCK. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY MECHANIC, NOW DEALER WANTS TO VERIFY. ENGINE HAS HAD TO HAVE NEW CAMS PUT IN. ALSO HAS HAD FAILED EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. EXHAUST ASSEMBLY HAS A TENDENCY TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK FOR NO REASON. IT SEPARATES AND COMES APART.

2010 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH 61,000 MILES WITH THE STEERING COLUMN BEARING FAILING- THROUGH RESEARCH OTHER 2010'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS POPPING, GRABBING AND CATCHING. CALLED MANUFACTURER THEY SAID OUT OF WARRANTY, NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY- STARTING TO FEEL DANGEROUS TO DRIVE

SAFETY RECALL 12V-474 FOR 2010 RAM 1500 COULD NOT BE PERFORMED DUE TO PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. CURRENTLY, SAFETY RECALL 17V-821, WHICH COULD CASE A PARKED VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY ROLL AWAY, DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. BOTH OF THESE RECALLS ARE EITHER UNABLE OR WERE UNABLE TO BE PERFORMED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. 12V-474 IS THE EXACT SAME RECALL AS 12V474000, CHRYSLER NUMBER M34, "THE NUT SECURING THE REAR AXLE PINION MY LOOSEN BECAUSE AN ADHESIVE PATCH WAS NOT INSTALLED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. IF THE NUT LOOSENS, THE AXLE CAN LOCK UP WITH LITTLE WARNING, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND/OR A CRASH". I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER RECALL GROUP THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE BUYBACK PROGRAM, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS THE SAME MODEL YEAR WITH THE SAME RECALLED ISSUE (12V-474) LOOSE PINION NUT AS THOSE ELIGIBLE. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NOW ANOTHER DRIVE TRAIN RECALL FOR WHICH I CANNOT RECEIVE REPAIR DUE TO LACK OF PARTS.

HAVE TO JIGGLE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO GET THE ENGINE TO START. HAVE HAD THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD USUALLY WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR TURNING AND HAVE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND JIGGLE THE KEY AND RESTART THE ENGINE.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK AT WILL WHEN FOB IS IN HAND OR POCKET AND SOMETIMES WON'T UNLOCK AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WHEN EITHER FOB IS USED . REPLACED BATTERIES BUT STILL HAPPENS. SUSPECT DEFECTIVE "TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE" TIPM

LOUD THUMPING BEHIND DASH. HAVE HAD A/C AND HEAT ACTUATORS REPLACED 2X IN PAST 2 YEARS. RECALL K17 APPLIED AND PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE THERE IS NO HEAT AND DEFROSTERS DO NOT WORK IN THE WINTER WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 20 DEGREES. THUMPING BEHIND DASH OCCURS WHEN CAR IS STARTED, WHILE DRIVING, AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO SHINE BRIGHTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SINCE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM.

MY IGNITION IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST TURN OFF WHEN THE TRUCK IS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT WANT TO START THE TRUCK YOU HAVE TO TRY 4 OR 5 TIMES TO GET IT TO START THE TRUCK. SOMETIMES YOU CANNOT TURN THE TRUCK OFF. SOMETIMES THE KEY FOB GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION.

TAKATA RECALL. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL OF MY TRUCK, BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER.THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL WAS MADE FOR IS WHAT GOING ON WITH MY TRUCK. I HAVE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT HAVE BROKEN BOLTS ON MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET, BUT IT IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL, BECAUSE MY VIN DOES NOT STATE IT. THE TRUCK HAS THE SAME PARTS AS ALL THE OTHER TRUCKS, BUT IS NOT CONSIDERED UNDER THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHERS. THE DEFECT IS COSTING MAJOR MONEY ON MY BEHALF ON SOMETHING THAT IS OUT OF MY CONTROL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURE.

THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE FRONT STRAP FOR THE GAS TANK RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING THE STRAP TO FALL AND THE GAS TANK TO HANG DOWN OFF THE TRUCK. HAD THE BACK STRAP FAILED TOO IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ISSUES....UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF *JS

DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED PREMATURELY. LED TO WHEEL BEARING SLOT ON AXLE SHAFT TO WEAR CAUSING AXLE SHAFT DAMAGE. IF I HAD NOT CAUGHT THIS EARLY THE AXLE SHAFT MAY HAVE FAILED COMPLETELY RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE. FIRST NOTICED SIGNS OF DAMAGE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION

TWO REAR MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKE OFF INSIDE HEADER. CAUSES SEVERE TICKING NOISE ANYTIME THE MOTOR IS RUNNING RESULTING FROM HEAT SHIELD AND MANIFOLD RATTLING AGAINST HEADER. CAN CAUSE EXHAUST FUMES TO BE FILTERED BACK INTO CAB CAUSING INJURY

DODGE 5.7L HEMI ENGINES HAVE 2 COMMON, RECURRING ISSUES. 1) ENGINE LIFTERS FAIL PREMATURELY CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CAMSHAFT LOBES. THE END RESULT IS A COSTLY REPAIR HAVING TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTER. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND WILL THROW A P030# CODE FOR A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER(S). WHEN THE MISFIRE HAPPENS THE VEHICLE STARTS SHACKING HORRIBLY. I HAVE SEEN A REPORT THAT A 2016 WITH 15K MILES HAD THE ISSUE ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2009 WITH ONLY 72K MILES AND SEVERAL IN BETWEEN. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS, THREADS, AND COMMENTS ON THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS VERY COMMON AND DODGE SHOULD BE PROVIDING ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTIES. YET THEY CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING EXCEPT LOSE CUSTOMERS. 2) THE RECURRING EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING. MINE WAS REPAIRED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE ISSUE AGAIN. AGAIN DODGE SEEMS TO DO NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE MATERIALS TO PREVENT THE ISSUE FROM RECURRING.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK, BOLTS BREAK, CAUSING AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK, MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE THAT INCREASES WITH TIME.
