BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK RECALL. RECALL DATE: 12-20-2017 FCA RECALL # T79 NHTSA RECALL # 17V-821 I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY TRUCK IN FOR SAFETY RECALL TO MULTIPLE DODGE/RAM DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES EITHER PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER, IT COULD TAKE MORE THAN 6-9 MONTHS TO GET THE PARTS, AND NOW, I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE REPAIR SHOPS ARE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO PUT IN ORDERS FOR THE RECALL PARTS AND HAVE A BLOCK ON ORDERING. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET AN ESTIMATED TIME AS TO WHEN I CAN EXPECT PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT COULD TAKE UP TO ANOTHER YEAR OR MORE TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. I WAS TOLD BY EVERY SERVICE ADVISER NOT TO COME IN TO MY APPOINTMENTS OR SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME AT THIS TIME AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ORDER PARTS. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN 2 MONTHS OR MORE TO CHECK.

THE MOST OF THE MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKEN OFF AT 70300 MILES. VERY OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WONDER WHAT THIS DOES TO THE EPA EMISSIONS REGULATIONS.

REPLACED THE BATTERIES WITH EXACT MATCHES OF THE EXISTING BATTERIES, TRIED TO OPEN DOORS WITH BOTH FOBS, NO CHANGE.

REAR AXLE BEARING GOING OUT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2011 MODELS

I'M ONE OF THE FEW OWNERS OF A RAM 1500 WITH A COMMON PROBLEM. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. IT HAS BECOME A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH RAM OWNERS LIKE MYSELF. FIRST IT SEEMS AS IF YOUR FUEL PUMP HAD GONE OUT AND YOUR TRUCK WILL NOT START. AFTER CONTACTING MECHANICS AND PAYING AROUND $900TO REPLACE IT THE PROBLEM STILLS EXIST. THEN AFTER SONOROUS ATTEMPTS TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS IT'S THE RELAY THAT RAM DEALERS KNOW ALL ABOUT. IT COST AROUND A$1000 OR MORE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I'VE CONTACTED THEM AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THE PROBLEM THAT MYSELF AND OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING AND THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO THEY WILL NOT RECALL THE PROBLEM THEY KNOW YOUR GOING TO HAVE PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE TRUCK. PLEASE HELP US TO RESOLVE THIS ONGOING ISSUE. THANKYOU.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE IS A DISTINCT TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. AS THE VEHICLE WARMS UP IT GOES AWAY. AFTER LATER DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BOLTS ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD BROKE OFF OR SHEARED OFF FROM THE HEAD. THIS WAS SAID TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH RAM TRUCKS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT DISPLACEMENT ISSUE. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT CHRYSLER HAS NO RECORD OR INTENTION OF ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. THE CURRENT WARRANTY WILL ONLY COVER A FRACTION OF COST. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE FIXED INSTEAD OF MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY MORE FOR THE PRODUCT DEFECTS.
