2011 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH PRIOR. DURING BOTH INSTANCES, I COASTED THROUGH THE TURN TO A STOP BUT HAD DIFFICULTLY STEERING AND BRAKING. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. I BELIEVE IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE A CRASH SITUATION. I HAVE RESEARCHED FOR RECALLS AND BULLETINS BUT FOUND NONE. I HAVE, HOWEVER, FOUND MANY ONLINE INTERNET COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE PARKING, THE TRK ACCELERATED AND ALMOST HIT 3 CARS BEFORE STOPPING W BRAKES SLAMMED TO THE FLOOR. WE ARE ON VACATION ARE 7 HRS FROM HOME! *TR

IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TRUCK STALLS ABRUPTLY, HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OFF AND INSTRUMENTS ON DASHBOARD FLASH ON/OFF FOR UP TO 2 MINUTES. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF WAITING AND ATTEMPTS TO RESTART TRUCK, TRUCK FINALLY RESTARTS . *TR

ELECTRICAL ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS LEAKING AND CAUSED MOLD AND MILDEW INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TRUCK WILL NOT START. TECHNICIAN FOUND AN INTERNAL FAULT ON THE TIPM MODULE. WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A FAULT OF THE TIPM MODULE, IF THE TIPM MODULE FAILS (LOSS OF POWER TO FUEL PUMP), COULD LEAD TO A CRASH/LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO MY FUEL PUMP. THE FUSES ARE GOOD . THE ONLY THING I CAN COME UP WITH IS TIPM NOT WORKING. *TR

TOOK TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE. ADVISED THAT BOTH TIE ROD ENDS NEEDED REPLACEMENT QUICKLY. RESEARCHED INFO AND FOUND AUTOTRADER.COM STATING RECALL COMING SOON FOR 240K TRUCKS. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD VEHICLE IS NOT RECALLED AT THIS TIME. AS A MECHANIC WITH 30 PLUS YRS EXPERIENCE I WILL NOT HESITATE TO REPLACE THESE PARTS AND HOPE THAT THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER ACT AS QUICKLY IN RECALLING THESE VEHICLES. *TR

OPERATING NORMALLY, A GRINDING NOISE BEGAN AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED AS A REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEARING FAILURE, LIKELY DUE TO THE PREVIOUS RECALL #NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V656000 WHICH WAS DONE IMMEDIATELY AFTER NOTIFICATION. SIGNIFICANT COSTS WERE INCURRED TO REPAIR THE DIFFERENTIAL, AXLE AND BEARINGS. NO HEAVY PAYLOADS OR TOWING WAS DONE. MAINTENANCE IS ALWAYS DONE ON TIME AND RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ITS SEEMS INCONCEIVABLE THAT SUCH A NEW TRUCK COULD HAVE A VERY SIGNIFICANT FAILURE. *TR

TRUCK WILL NOT START, STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC AND FUEL PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED. DIAGNOSED AS TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. DODGE RECALLED THE SAME PART ON THE 2011 DURANGO BUT NOT THE RAM PICK UP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN 30 BELOW 0 FAHRENHEIT WEATHER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AT 55 MPH. THERE WAS NO POWER AND ONCE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW THE TRUCK IS REFUSING TO START OR EVEN POWER ON. THE KEY FOB WILL NOT START (MANUALLY OR BY THE BUTTON), UNLOCK, LOCK OR ACTIVATE THE PANIC SYSTEM. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING TO A NORMAL PACE ON A HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE, WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL. I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. CLEARLY THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY IN LESS LUCKY CIRCUMSTANCES. AN ISSUE I BELIEVE IS RELATED PERTAINS TO THE HEADLIGHTS. THE RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHTS (HIGH AND LOW BEAMS) HAVE AT TIMES CUT OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. RECENTLY THEY DIED ALTOGETHER. MY DEALER DETERMINED THE BULBS WERE FINE, AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE .. IT STARTED TO RAIN BIG DOWN POUR I PUT THE WIPERS ON AND WENT RIGHT TO HIGH SPEED AND THEY JUST STOPPED .. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND IT WAS A FUSE THAT WAS BLOWN GOT A NEW FUSE AND THE NEXT TIME THAT IT STARTED TO RAIN IT WAS ON REGULAR SPEED WHEN THE RAIN STARTED GOING HARDER TURNED IT UP TO HIGH AGAIN AND IT BLEW THE FUSE AGAIN .. I HAD TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL SO I EXPLAINED TO THE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY WIPERS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE MOTOR OF THE WIPERS AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME 515.00 .. I SAID WAIT A MIN WHY WOULD THIS COST ME SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY AND INTERNAL ISSUE OF MY VEHICLE AND MAYBE OTHER VEHICLES NEED TO BE LOOKED AT .. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY SITUATION FOR ALL INVOLVED .. BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SITUATION AND ITS EITHER I PAY THE 515.00 TO GET IT FIXED OR IT DOESN'T GET FIXED .AND ALSO IT DID NOT COME UP ON MY MESSAGES THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY WIPER MOTOR WHICH IS PART OF THE ELECTRONICS SYSTEM OF MY TRUCK . *TR

COST OF REPAIRS IS OVER 1200 DOLLARS. FOUND OUT THAT THE PINION IS THE HI TECH NAME FOR THE FUSE BOX THAT'S UNDER THE HOOD. I ASKED TO SEE THE OLD PART AND THE PERSON AT THE PARTS COUNTER STATED THAT THEY CHANGED (3) THREE OF THEM TODAY,.. THAT'S VERY SAD TO HEAR FOR US DODGE OWNERS. *TR

3 YEAR OLD TIPM (FUSE BOX) JUST DECIDED TO STOP WORKING ON MY 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. TRUCK WOULD NOT START. STRANDED MY FAMILY OUT OF STATE. DEALERSHIP HAD TO ORDER A PART WHICH TOOK 3 BUSINESS DAYS TO SHIP TO DEALERSHIP FROM DENVER. COST US $1200 AND A CAR RENTAL. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER ARE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ITEM, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS GONE OUT IN MY VEHICLE AND I WAS ADVISED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY IGNITION SWITCHES OUT FOR DELIVERY AND THERE WAS A 3 WEEK DELAY FOR GETTING IN THE PART. THIS TELLS ME THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART. I AM NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND HAVING TO GET A RENTAL CAR. *TR

INSERTING THE KEY FOB TURNS ON ALL ELECTRICAL WITHOUT TURNING THE KEY. AFTER THE ENGIN IS RUNNING, YOU CANNOT TURN IT OFF WITH THE KEY. IT CONTINUES TO RUN WITH THE KEY REMOVED. *TR

MY TURN SIGNAL SWITCH DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE WHEN TURNING LEFT. I TURN IT DOWN TO SELECT THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND DOES NOT WORK AT ALL ANYMORE. *TR

I HAVE HAD 2 BLOW OUTS (INSTANTANEOUS TIRE DEFLATIONS) IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND CONFIRMED ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS/VALVE STEMS (TPMS) CORRODING CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHERE THE VALVE STEM IS LOST AND THE TIRE DEFLATES. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED ON A FREEWAY. LUCKILY THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND PULL ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER. ON INSPECTION OF THE TIRE THE VALVE STEM WAS MISSING WITH A HOLE INTO THE TIRE. UNFORTUNATELY DESPITE THE DEALER BEING AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND COSTS $140 TO REPAIR. AS ABOVE, THIS IS THE 2ND EXACT FAILURE ON THE SAME VEHICLE. IT APPEARS I AM EXPECTED TO PAY OVER $500 TO GET THEM ALL CHANGED. IN THE MEANTIME I AM NOT ALLOWING MY WIFE OR FAMILY TO TRAVEL IN WHAT I NOW CONSIDER A DANGEROUS TRUCK. *TR

TRUCK STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. TRUCK STALLS WHENEVER SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO REVERSE DRIVE. RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER TRUCK. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT TO A DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER AND IS REPLACING IT AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP. *TR

2011 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LEFT TIE ROD RECALL NOTICE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER HE SHOULD EXPECT TO WAIT TWENTY WEEKS FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE.

THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE HAS BECOME DEFECTIVE. IT WILL NO LONGER HOLD THE KEY FOB IN PLACE ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE KEY SIMPLY FALLS OUT BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO TURN OFF WHILE STILL IN GEAR NOW. ADDITIONALLY, SOMETIMES THE MODULE WILL NOT TURN, OR WILL NOT TURN COMPLETELY, WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED AND YOU ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT WON'T TURN COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL K08 ISSUED IN AUGUST 2010 ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES IN THE 2010 RAM TRUCKS BUT FOR SOME REASON IT DOES NOT COVER THE 2011 MODELS. DODGE HAS TOLD ME IT IS MY PROBLEM TO FIX AND NOT THEIR DEFECT. *TR

WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP IF YOU MOMENTARILY HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATE. WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BRAKE THE CAR BEGINS FORWARD THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND CAR SHUTS DOWN FROM 1 TO 10 SECONDS. IF YOU ARE PULLING INTO A BUSY ROAD WHERE YOU MIGHT MOMENTARILY SPIN THE ENGINE UP IN ORDER TO HAVE BETTER RESPONSE YOU ARE LEFT STUCK OUT IN THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. ALSO HAPPENS IF YOU ARE TOWING ON AN INCLINE AND YOU SPIN UP ENGINE BEFORE RELEASING FOOT BRAKE. YOU WOULD DO THIS IN ORDER TO NOT ROLL BACK. THEY SAID THE CODE SAYS YOU SHOULD NOT DRIVE WITH 2 FEAT. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD HAPPEN THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS. HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND LOSE POWER. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE FUEL PUMP REMAINED RUNNING AND CAUSED POWER TO DRAIN FROM THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEFECTS WERE ALL DUE TO A FAULTY TPM (TOTALLY POWER MODULE) AND THE MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

I TOOK MY DODGE INTO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TO CHECK ON THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME AS SOON AS IT CAME IN. THAT WAS THREE MONTHS AGO AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM. *TR

REAR AXLE PINION NUT N08/NHTSA ON 2/22/2014 AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT, EVEN AFTER I HAD SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AT 0720 ON 2/22/2014 AND WAS TOLD BY A [XXX] THAT THIS WAS USUALLY NOT AN ISSUE FOR RAM TRUCKS, THAT THEY WERE SHORT-STAFFED AND THAT THEY COULD NOT GET TO THE VEHICLE UNTIL NEXT WEEK, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR THE RECALL ISSUE. IT APPEARED THEY DID NOT WANT TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR, BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF THE REPAIR AS IT WAS A RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL NOW NEED TO BE GIVEN DIRECTION AS TO WHERE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. I TOOK IT TO: AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 13V038000 (POWER TRAIN) AND STATED THAT THE NEEDED PART WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR THE REMEDY PART TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE, MOVING VERY SLOW (BECAUSE OF OUR OUTSIDE CATS) WITH VERY SLIGHT PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR, JUST ENOUGH TO START TO MOVE THE TRUCK BACKWARDS DOWN THE INCLINE OUT OF MY GARAGE. IMMEDIATELY, THE ENGINE REVVED AND STARTED RACING. THE TRUCK PICKED UP SPEED DRAMATICALLY AND I SLAMMED MY RIGHT FOOT DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, NOT SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE BRAKES HOWLED AND VIBRATED, TOTALLY FAILING TO STOP THE TRUCK. I LIFTED MY FOOT AND THEN REAPPLIED BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE WITHOUT THINKING. BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND TRUCK SLOWED VERY LITTLE, ENGINE STILL REVVING. I THEN PULLED THE HANDLE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND APPLIED IT TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE ENGINE WAS STILL SPEEDING UP AND I PUT IT IN PARK, IMMEDIATELY TURNING THE KEY TO KILL THE TRUCK. I DIDN'T THINK TO LOOK AT THE RPMS, BUT THEY HAD TO BE HIGH. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS INTERFERING WITH THE GAS PEDAL. NOTHING WAS, MY MAT THAT I'VE HAD IN IT FOR 2 YEARS LAYS FAR TO THE LEFT OF IT. THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED TO BE IN NORMAL POSITION. I AM TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER WORK TODAY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED HERE AND THE RANDOMNESS OF THIS. IT WAS LIKE THE TRUCK HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN AND JUST TRIED TO TAKE OFF. AFTER READING EVERYTHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE, I'M NOT SURE I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK. I BOUGHT IT NEW WITH 19 MILES ON IT. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH

I RECEIVED MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND MY SECOND ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALERSHIP ,PREVIOUSLY MIKE OLSEN DODGE AND CURRENTLY YAKIMA DODGE, AND HAVE BEEN PUT ON A WAITING LIST. THEY STATE THAT THEY ONLY GET PARTS TO FIX 1 VEHICLE AT A TIME THAT THEN HAS TO BE VERIFIED BEFORE THEY CAN FIX ANOTHER ONE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT THE REAR AXLE CAN DISENGAGE AND LEAD TO AN UNCONTROLLABLE ACCIDENT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN SUCH INCIDENT CLOSE TO TOWN BUT WITH NO INJURIES. THE NOTICES ARE IDENTIFIED AS SAFETY RECALL N08/NHTSA 13V-038. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY SAFETY WHEN I DRIVE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. LOST ALL POWER TO STEERING AND WAS LUCKY TO GET STOPPED WITH OUT GETTING HURT. IT STARTED RIGHT UP LIKE NORMAL. FEW DAYS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. JUST PLAIN SCARY. *TR

PURCHASED NEW, IN NOV 2010. WHEN FILLING UP THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND SPRAYS FUEL BACK ON YOU AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK APPX LOSS OF .5 GALLONS PER FILL UP. EVEN IF IT MISSES YOU YOUR HAND WILL BE COVERED IN GAS AND CAUSES CRACKS IN YOUR FINGERS NOW THAT ITS WINTER. I CANNOT IMAGE IT IS GOOD FOR THE PAINT EITHER. *TR

WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE REAR WINDOW SEALS. SPOKE TO MANY DODGE RAM OWNERS AND THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. DODGE HAVE BEEN REPAIRING THE SEALS FOR FREE IF YOUR VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY BUT CHARGING $174.00 IF YOUR WARRANTY HAVE EXPIRED. WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO GET THE LEAK FIXED THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TOLD ME THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND THERE WAS FOUR MORE TRUCKS IN THAT DAY FOR THIS ISSUE. [XXX] WAS THE SERVICE PERSON AT LANDMARK DODGE IN MORROW GEORGIA. DODGE CORPORATION IS NOT WILLING TO REFUND MY MONEY OR HELP ME. LANDMARK DODGE SERVICE#678-251-2270. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL AND MY BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE TIPM OR A FANCY FUSE BOX . MY COMPLAINT IS THAT CHRYSLER IS AT FAULT FOR THIS DEFECT WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE LACK OF LIGHT SIGNALS. THEY NEED TO IDENTIFY AN IMMEDIATE AND A ROBUST FIX TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS IN MY OTHER VEHICLES AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LIGHT SIGNALS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 50 YEARS . ANY INVESTIGATION AND FOLLOW UP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER HAVING COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR SAFETY BY TELLING ME I COULD TRAVEL 1000+ MILES ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOT WORRY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 70MPH IN A '11 DODGE RAM THIS MORNING ON THE HIGHWAY, BOTH BACK TIRES LOCKED UP RESULTING IN FISH TAILING COMPLETELY SIDEWAYS THREE TIMES.

TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY, ALL FOUR OF THEM. WE NOTICED THIS AT 20000 MILES!! WE NOTICED NOISE COMING FROM THE TRUCK AND WHEN THE DEALERSHIP TOOK THE TRUCK FOR ROAD INSPECTION THEY SAID IS THE TIRES. AND OF COURSE, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE, THAT I HAVE TO GO WITH GOODYEAR CO. AND MAKE A CLAIM. WE USED THE TRUCK TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK ONLY! WE DO NOT TAKE THE TRUCK OFF ROAD OR EVEN TO OUR NEIGHBOR COUNTRY (MEXICO) BECAUSE OF ROAD CONDITIONS THERE.THE TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY AND MAKE THIS TERRIBLE NOISE WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ? WE TAKE THE TRUCK EVERY 3000 MILES FOR OIL CHANGE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WILL RECOMMEND TIRE ROTATION AT 6000 MILES OR SO, WE DO AS THEY RECOMMEND, BUT NOW, NO ONE IS HELPING OUT! HOW COME THEY DID NOT NOTICE THIS EARLY WEAR IN OUR TIRES?. *TR
