ONLY PUT 30,000 MILES ON THIS DODGE RAM SENCE I GOT IT AND THE REAR PINION SEAL WAS LEAKING, GOT IT REPLACED AND NOW IT IS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE SO LOAD I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID IT HAS LOTS OF SHAVINGS INSIDE THE REAR END. AFRAID IT WILL LOCK UP AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY?

FRAME CUT-OUT FOR MOUNTING GAS TANK STRAP RUSTED OUT CAUSING STRAP TO DISENGAGE FROM FRAME CAUSING TANK TO DROP.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT CAUSING 6000$ OF DAMAGE. INVESTIGATION RE REVILED A RECALL BECAUSE THE NUT THAT HOLD THE SHAFT IN WAS COMING LOOSE CAUSING IT TO FALL. UPON GETTING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE RECALL HAD BEEN FIXED IN 2014. THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL WAS NOT IN PLACE BUT CLAIM THAT BETWEEN THE RECALL BEING DONE AND THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE REMEDY COULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND THIS ID THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD.

THIS TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR IF YOU JIGGLE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION AT LOW AND HIGH SPEED SHUT-OFFS. THE REPAIR REQUIRED THE WIN MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE WIN MODULE REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED ON ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE RAM 1500S, BUT NOT THIS ONE. THE WIN MODULE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL DODGE RAM UNITS. ALSO, THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS PART OF A RECALL ON 2009 DODGE JOURNEYS. THE SHUTOFF PROBLEM SPANS SEVERAL DODGE MODELS WITH THIS TYPE OF IGNITION. I WILL BE SUBMITTING A SECOND COMPLAINT FOR ANOTHER 2010 DODGE RAM WITH THE SAME SAFETY SHUT-OFF PROBLEM..

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 RAM, WITH 85,000, MY ENGINE BLEW WITHOUT WARNING AS MY FAMILY AND I TRAVELED DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MPH INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS WHATSOEVER, NO CHECK ENGINE OR OIL LIGHTS, ETC. AND NOW I'M TOLD I OWE BETWEEN 4-9 K FOR A NEW ENGINE.

THERE IS A CONSISTENT TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AREA WHEN TRUCK IS STATIONARY. NOISE IS PRESENT WHEN ENGINE IS BOTH COLD AND HOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE STRUCK THE SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT VEERED INTO HIS LANE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED UNSPECIFIED INJURIES THAT ALSO REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HOOD, FENDER, BUMPER, AND FRAME WERE DAMAGED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. ..UPDATED 06/21/17 *BF *CN

THIS VEHICLE HAS A BINDING WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE (WIN) RESULTING IN A CONDITION WHERE THE KEY MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH PRIOR TO PLACING THE SHIFTER IN PARK. EXACTLY THE SAME AS NHTSA RECALL REFERENCE #10V200000. THIS VEHICLE SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE THE MATCHING PART NUMBERS OF THE RECALL. BUT EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH THE DRIVELINE CAME APART AT REAR DIFFERENTIAL CONNECTION. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF TOWARDS SHOULDER THE VEHICLE BEGIN TO SLIDE INSTEAD OF TURN. IT HAS SEEMED AS IF THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP AND JUST SNAPPED AT THE U JOINT. THE VEHICLE APPARENTLY HAD A RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM AND WAS REPORTED THAT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. IT SUMMED UP TO A $2700 DAMAGE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND ONLY PUT 1003 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS VEHICLE WAS CONVERTED INTO A EMERGENCY RESPONSE VEHICLE FOR OUR COMPANY AND WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN A 911 RESPONSE SETTINGS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INVESTIGATED THE RECALL WORK AND HAS NOTIFIED US THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. *TR

DURING FUEL FILL GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT THE FUEL TANK AFTER THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. THIS LEAVES A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND IF I WAS STANDING NEAR THE NOZZLE I WOULD BE FULL OF GAS ON MY CLOTHING. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP NO MATTER THE GAS STATION. SEEN DOZENS OF ON-LINE INFORMATION INCLUDING YOU TUBE VIDEOS OF EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER SAME YEAR MODEL TRUCKS.

I HAVE HAD THE RACK AND PINION NUT REPLACED ON A RECALL AND NOW IT'S ALL DOING IT AGAIN AND TRYING TO FIND OUT IF IT WOULD STILL BE COVERED AND CAUSING OTHER ISSUES IS IT STILL A RECALL ITEM THAT CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF IT'S ALL HAPPENING WHILE IN MOTION I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT THREE TIMES AND THEY TELL ME IT'S THE BEARINGS AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT BACK TO THE CHRYSLER FOR THE RACK AND PINION NUT ISSUE THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED ALL THE PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

AT ABOUT 65000 MILES I STARTED HEARING A "TICKING" SOUND FROM THE ENGINE, WHEN IT WAS COLD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAD BROKEN, THIS CAUSES EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT DURING THE WINTER WHEN USING THE HEATER, AND THE SUMMER USING THE AIR CONDITIONER. . I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY CHRYSLER USING SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS FOR THESE BOLTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE "HEMI" ENGINE, SO MUCH SO THAT THERE ARE YOU TUBE VIDEOS SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE REPAIR COST TO BE $ 1800.00. AS TIME GOES BY I FELT THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH OLDER VEHICLES, AND IT HAPPENED AROUND 65,000 MILES THOUGH I TOOK IT IN AROUND 70000 MILES FOR THE ESTIMATE. THESE BOLTS SHOULD OUTLAST THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE VEHICLE IF THEY WERE MADE OF THE PROPER MATERIALS OR WERE PROPERLY HEAT TREATED. IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH DODGE RAMS WITH THE HEMI ENGINE. THE DATE OF THE ESTIMATE IS APPROXIMATE.

THE HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) ACTUATOR GEARS ON MY VEHICLE HAVE BROKEN, RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO FULLY CONTROL THE HVAC FUNCTIONS. THERE WAS A K17 RECALL FOR MODELS: 2009-2010 (DS) RAM TRUCK (1500 SERIES) 2010 (DJ) RAM TRUCK (2500 SERIES), 2010 (D2) RAM TRUCK (3500 SERIES) NOTE: THIS RECALL ONLY APPLIED TO THE ABOVE VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH MAY 22, 2010 (MDH 05222010). MY VEHICLE IS 2010 AND WAS MADE AFTER MAY 22 (I BELIEVE IN JULY) I THINK THIS RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2010 RAM 1500 VEHICLES AS MINE IS AFFECTED BUT CURRENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION, ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES MUST HAVE UPDATED HVAC CONTROL HEAD SOFTWARE INSTALLED AND THE MODE DOOR ACTUATORS MUST BE TESTED AND REPLACED AS REQUIRED. HOW CAN I HAVE MY 2010 VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE FUEL TANK STRAPS DETACHED FROM THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSED IT TO HANG SLIGHTLY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK STRAPS WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,871. ...UPDATED 11/01/16 *BF ..UPDATED 09/25/17 *BF *TR

THE HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) ACTUATOR GEARS ON MY VEHICLE ARE BROKEN, RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO FULLY CONTROL THE HVAC FUNCTIONS.

MY FUEL TANK STRAP COMPLETLEY RUSTED OFF THE MOUNTING HANGER ON THE FRAME WHICH ALMOST MADE THE TANK FALL OFF THIS COULD HAVE CREATED A FIRE WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AFTER THE FIRST RECALL OF THE PINION NUT CAN LOOSEN, CAUSING THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE. THE DRIVESHAFT ALSO MAY DETACH, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. WE OPTED TO FIX THIS. SHORTLY AFTER THE SAME NOISE TOOK PLACE. THIS TIME IT IS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LOCKING UP. HOWEVER, THE DODGE SERVICE CENTER IS SAYING IT IS UNRELATED AND IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE BACK-END IS SEIZING - SO THERE IS MORE THAN ONE CRITICAL MECHANICAL ERROR IN THIS VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. THIS TIME I WANT MY VEHICLE ELIGIBLE FOR A BUY-BACK. ITS BEEN A LEMON. THE ELECTRICAL WENT OUT IN 2011. NO WINDOWS CAN GO UP OR DOWN. ITS A HORRIBLY MADE VEHICLE ALL THE WAY AROUND.

LOUD CLICKING UNDER DASH. LOSS OF AIR FROM VENTS. CLICKING WILL CONTINUE. SOMETIMES IT STOPS AND BLOWS AIR AGAIN. ALSO NO AIR TO BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE GEARS SLIPPED WITHOUT WARNING WHEN IN POSITION AND WHEN DRIVING OVER UNLEVELED LAND. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHEN TRAVELLING AT APPRX 65MPH AFTER ABOUT AN HR COMMUTE, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING/TREMBLING BADLY, STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE, I HAD TO DROP MY SPEED TO 25/30 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL OF STEERING AND SHAKING... AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS OR SO, IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL... BUT ONCE I STARTED TRAVELLING AGAIN SAME DISTANCE & MPH THE ISSUE STARTED AGAIN... THIS ISSUE IS RANDOM, THERE ARE TIMES IT DOES IT AND TIMES IT DOESNT, BUT MOST TIMES ITS ONCE THE VEHICLE IS AT A HIGH SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD.

THE GOODYEAR HP 275/60R20. I HAVE 76000 MILES ON MY DODGE RAM1500 I AM CURRENTLY ON MY SECOND SET OF TIRES I REPLACED THE FIRST SET AT 42000 I HAVE RUFFLY 34000 ON THIS SET. AND I HAVE A BUBBLE ON THE TIRE THAT IS RUFFLY THE SIZE OF A QUARTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD; ALSO HAVE INSIDE WEAR WEAR THE TREAD IS SEPARATING. THE TIRES ARE HAVING EVEN WEAR THIS IS GOOD YEARS ISSUE !!!!! REMINDER THESE ARE 45000 MILE TREAD LIFE WARRANTY ????

ROCKER PANELS ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. CAUSING LARGE HOLES TO FORM. WHILE IN PARK, ROLLED THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW DOWN HEARD A METAL CLANK AND THE WINDOW WOULD NO LONGER GO UP OR DOWN, AS THE WINDOW REGULATOR FELL APART. WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD, I NOTICED SLIGHT DIFFICULTY IN SHIFTING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON HAVING THE CODE READ, THE TRANSMISSION SELENOID IS STUCK OPEN. TIE ROD ENDS ARE LOOSENING AS WELL. SO MANY ISSUES ON A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE

DODGE FOBIK, MY TRUCK USES THE SAME IGNITION SWITCH AS THE JOURNEY, AND WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT MOVING THE SWITCH. BUMPS SHUT MY TRUCK OFF, THIS SWITCH IS RIDICULOUSLY DANGEROUS. I WISH IT WAS A NORMAL SWITCH. IT HAS SHUT OFF 4 TIMES THIS WEEK, IF YOU TOUCH THE KEY IT SHUTS OFF. IT IS NOT A SAFE SYSTEM. IT STARTED THIS VERY INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MY FATHER OWNED THE TRUCK AT 53K MILES.

BRAKES FAILED APPROACHING A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION, WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN FROM A 55-MPH ZONE. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE RESPONSE. LUCKILY, I HAD THE SENSE TO PUMP THE BRAKES QUICKLY BEFORE PLOWING INTO THE BUSY INTERSECTION! TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE MASTER BOOST PUMP, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE IN STOCK. BASICALLY, GOT MY TRUCK BACK A WEEK LATER AND WAS IN SHOCK OVER THE COST TO REPLACE ABOUT A $125 PART (AROUND $500). I NOTICED THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS PERTAINING TO PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA WITH PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND EVEN 2010 YEAR MODELS, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN# WAS NOT AFFECTED...THINK THEY MAY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS TO AVOID SOMEONE POSSIBLY BEING KILLED OR KILLING SOMEONE FROM A SIMILAR PROBLEM! COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC! AT THE VERY MINIMUM, DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A TSB AND SHOULD REFUND $$ FOR THE REPAIR!

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS SHEERING OFF INSIDE ENGINE BLOCK ALLOWING MANIFOLD TO UNSEAT MAKING TICKING NOISE AND ALLOWING EXHAUST TO ESCAPE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLES MUFFLER. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY BOLTS BECAUSE MOST MUST BE DRILLED OUT OF THE BLOCK.

WHEN TURNING ON TO THE HIGHWAY YOU CAN NOT SEE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE METAL PART OF THE CAB BETWEEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW AND THE REAR WINDOW CREATES A BLIND SPOT. I HAVE ALMOST PULLED IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE 3-4 OR MORE TIMES. VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING OR MAY HAVE BEEN MOVING 1 MPH. VEHICLE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE IS A REGULAR CAB TRUCK. THANK YOU. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON. TRUCK HAS ONLY 29K MILES ON IT! TRUCK STORED IN THE WINTER IN CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE GARAGE. THE TRUCK IS NEVER OUT IN SNOW OR SALT. DEALER WANTS $1400 TO REPLACE IT !

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 62 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO A BARRICADE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AAFTER RECALL NHTSA 13V-038 HAD BEEN "REPAIRED" IN 2014, THE EXACT DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENS TO THE VEHICLE HAPPENED 2 YEARS LATER. "THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY LOOSEN DUE TO UNDERSIZED PINION SHAFT SPLINES. A LOOSE PINION NUT COULD CAUSE THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE OR CAUSE THE DRIVESHAFT TO SEPARATE RESULTING IN A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. EITHER SITUATION COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." THE REAR AXLE SEIZED AND THE DRIVESHAFT SEPARATED RESULTING IN A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. THE ENTIRE DRIVESHAFT ACTUALLY COMPLETELY FELL OFF OF THE VEHICLE WHILE GETTING ONTO THE FREEWAY. THIS "REPAIR" OBVIOUSLY DID NOT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE PINION NUT LOOSENED, AND THE DRIVESHAFT SEIZED, FRACTURED, AND SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THE PINION NUT LOOSENED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V038000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CARRIER BEARING CAPS FRACTURED, THE LOWER BOLTS SNAPPED FLUSHED WITH THE HOUSING, THE UPPER BOLTS WERE LOOSE, THE RING GEARS WERE WORN; HOWEVER, THE PINION NUT WAS STILL IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

SUMMER 2015:EXPERIENE HUMMING NOISES AND TOOK TO GARAGE SAID IT WAS OK TO DRIVE AND BRING BACK NEXT WEEK FOR REPAIRS. WHILE DRIVING SOUNDS GOT WORSE AND WHILE DRIVING THE WHOLE DRIVE SHAFT FELL TO THE GROUND RESULTING IN ALMOST SUDDEN STOP HAD TO BE TOWED TOOK ALMOST 2 WEEKS FOR REPAIRS- NOW SPRING TIME 2016 AND IT GOES BACK IN TOMORROW FOR SAME SOUNDS, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL GRABS WHEN NOT NEEDED AND GIVES NO MOMENTUM TO GO UP A DRY DIRT ROAD HILL.... HUMMING NOISE AND A DIFFERENT SOUND TO BE DETERMINED BY GARAGE TOMORROW 3/9/16 WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO AROUND 5 MPH.

ONE DAY ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE HEADLIGHTS WON'T COME ON. NEITHER WHEN TURNED ON OR IN AUTO. AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN STARTED WORKING AGAIN WITHOUT EVEN POPPING THE HOOD UP. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, DURING NIGHT TIME, I WENT TO SWITCH THE LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM AND PUFF, NO LIGHTS AT ALL WHILE DRIVING 40MPH IN A HILL COUNTRY SIDE IN A PITCH BLACK NIGHT. I SWITCHED BACK TO LOW BEAM AND NOTHING... SCARY TIMES... I'VE ENDED UP PULLING OVER THE SIDE (ONLY HALF OF THE TRUCK SINCE IT WAS ON THE HILL SIDE), TURN HAZARD BLINKERS ON ... AND BESIDES THE DANGEROUS OF THE SITUATION I WAS NOT GOING TO MOVE WITHOUT HAVING ANY TYPE OF ILLUMINATION. LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER, THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON BY IT SELF.... TALKING ABOUT ANNOYING AND SCARY TIMES. SINCE THEN, I HAVE CHANGED THE LIGHT BULBS TWICE, RECHECKED THE WIRES, USED THE BRUSH WIRE ON THE CONNECTORS AND THE ISSUE STILL HAPPENING. BUT SINCE THERE ARE NOT "FUSES" ANYMORE AND THE LIGHTS ARE CONTROLLED BY THE TIPM, I DON'T HAVE THE $1350 THE CHRYSLER DEALER WANTS FOR A NEW TIPM UNIT AND RE-PROGRAMMING IT. RIDICULOUS!! AND THE WORSE PART IS... THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THE ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. WHAT A 50 CENT FUSE COULD FIX NOW IT IS PART OF SOMETHING INTEGRATED THAT IS FAULTY AND RENDER THE WHOLE SYSTEM USELESS AT NIGHT TIME. THESE PAST 2 DAYS, THE HEADLIGHTS WON'T COME UP AT ALL, I CHECKED WITH A VOLTMETER AND THERE IS NO POWER COMING UP ON EITHER OF THE HEADLAMPS CONNECTORS (LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE KEY FELL OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH CAUSING THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO RETRIEVE THE KEY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,863. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HORNS BEGAN HONKING RANDOMLY WHEN THE TRUCK WAS OFF AND NO ONE WAS IN IT OR WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. AT ONE TIME THEY BEGAN HONKING WHILE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING PANIC TO THE SURROUNDING TRAVELERS. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THEM WHICH NOW POSES A SAFETY RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. DEALER SAYS IT IS THE TIPM WHICH CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND HAS IT SHE RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME CONFIGURATION AS MY TRUCK. NOW THE TRUCK HAS TO BE INSPECTED FOR SAFETY TO KEEP THE LICENSE PLATES CORRECT AND IT WILL NOT PASS WITHOUT PERFORMING A $1200 REPAIR ON A PART THAT IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, THE FUEL PUMPS STOPPED WORKING AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE POME BUT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE PUMP IN FACT IT WAS THE TIPM BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THE TRUCK WAS THEM OUT OF WARRANTY IT WAS UP TO ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.
