2007 Dodge Ram 2500 complaints

2007 DODGE RAM 2500 "DEATH WOBBLE" WILL SOON KILL SOMEONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE TIE-ROD FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND REPLACED THE TIE-ROD WITH A NEW KIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NO LONGER PRODUCING THE PART NEEDED FOR HIS PARTICULAR YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILED TIE-ROD COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,908.

MY 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 WOBBLES WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND I TOOK IT FOR REPAIRS. THE TRUCK WAS "SERVICED" AND RETURNED TO ME "FIXED". HOWEVER, I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) ALLEN SAMUELS DODGE IN WACO DECLINED TO FIX MY DODGE RAM 2500 WITH 39,000 MI. THEY SAID AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER THAT THERE WAS WATER IN MY DIESEL. THAT IS ALL THEY HAD TO COME UP WITH TO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM WITH WARRENTY. I HAVE 100,000 MI. WARRENTY ON DRIVETRAIN, WHICH IS REALLY NO GOOD IF YOU CAN'T USE IT. I THINK DODGE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ADVERTISE ON TV FOR 100,000 MI. WARRENTY WHEN THEY KNOW THEY CAN GET OUT OF WARRENTING THE VEHICLE. THAT IS A BULL [XXX] LINE NOT TO PAY. THIS COST ME 4,322.91. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE ALL 6 INJECTORS TO FIX MY PROBLEM. STARTED OUT REPLACING 2, BUT THAT WAS NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO THAT IS HOW THEY GOT TO REPLACING ALL 6 INJECTORS. TRIED TO CALL AND WORK WITH DODGE CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ONLY TALKED TO WOMEN ABOUT MY 5.9 DIESEL ENGINE. THE WOMEN ASSIGNED MY CASE WORKER TO ME NAMED RYAN. HE NEVER ONCE CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM. GUESS THEY ARE WELL TRAINED TO DO A BAD JOB. *TR

MY 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD END BROKE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE TIE ROD THEN WENT THROUGH THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE, FLATTENING IT AND COCKING THE TIRE TO THE OUTSIDE. MAKING ME LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. DODGE HAS A RECALL ON THE OTHER END OF THE TIE ROD AND WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY SITUATION. THEY OFFER AN UPDATE KIT THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR. IN TALKING TO MY MECHANIC AND LOCAL PARTS HOUSE MINE IS NOT THE FIRST SITUATION OF THIS KIND. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

I OWN A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 4WD QUAD CAB LONG WHEEL BASE PICKUP TRUCK. THE STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE IS BEST DESCRIBED AS RIDICULOUS FOR THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TRUCK, NOT TO MENTION HOW DANGEROUS IT IS. MY PROBLEMS STARTED BEFORE THE TRUCK EVEN REACHED 20,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM REPLACED THE TIE ROD ENDS UNDER WARRANTY, AND THAT HELPED FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES, BUT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I ATTEMPTED CHANGING THE TIRES AND WHEELS FOR A SET OF AFTERMARKET ONES AROUND 45-50K MILES AND THAT'S WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE OF A 3 LANE INTERSTATE AT AROUND 70MPH, AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE SHORTLY AFTER IT STARTED. I COULD NOT REGAIN TOTAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP! I'M JUST LUCKY IT WASN'T RAINING, OR VERY CROWDED ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE TIME OR I MIGHT NOT BE HERE TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE REPLACED THE FACTORY STEERING STABILIZER WITH AN AFTERMARKET RANCHO UNIT, BUT THAT DIDN'T CHANGE A THING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT NEVER SEE ANY REAL SOLUTIONS, ONLY AFTERMARKET MANUFACTURERS ATTEMPTING TO SELL THEIR IDEA OF A FIX. THIS IS A REAL ISSUE THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO FORCE DODGE TO CORRECT. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY DEATHS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT REST ASSURED THERE WILL BE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S BEEN ALLOWED TO GO ON THIS LONG. I CAN'T STAND THE THOUGHT OF USING THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY, LET ALONE

THE VEHICLE HAS A VIOLENT DEATH WOBBLE AT SPEED WHEN HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. IT HAS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR REPAIR WITH NO FIX. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO TOWN (APPROX. 4 MILES) WHEN I HIT 50 MPH. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A MINOR IRREGULARITY IN THE ROAD. I THEN SLOWED TO APPROX. 30 MPH TO MAKE IT GO AWAY. THOUGH IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME TWICE I BEGAN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A PLETHERA OF INFO ON THE NOTORIOUS "DODGE DEATH SHAKE" THIS PROBLEM IS IN EVERY VEHICLE FORUM I HAVE VISITED AND CANNOT BELIEVE YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. ALL THE STORIES ARE THE SAME AND MOST DO NOT TRUST THERE VEHICLE ANYMORE. THERE IS A LAUNDRY LIST OF FIXES BUT THERE ARE CONFLICTING RESULTS. DODGE CLAIMS IT IS THE FRONT STABILIZER, BUT I HAVE CHANGED IT AND AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE FACT THAT I PAID 30,000 FOR A TRUCK I CANNOT TRUST. I WOULD HOPE YOU DO NOT CONTINUE TO SIT ON YOUR HANDS IN THIS MATTER BECAUSE IT IS PLASTERED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND EVEN A NEWS STORY ABOUT IT IN NORTH CAROLINA. PLEASE, DO SOMETHING! I HAVE BEEN AN AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM. *TR

DODGE 2007, MODEL 2500 TURBO DIESEL CREW CAB, WITH APPROXIMATELY 20,500 MILES. AT 55 MPH, A SUDDEN BUMP CAUSED BY A FREEWAY EXPANSION JOINT RESULTED IN SEVERE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WITH FRONT END OF TRUCK GOING OUT OF CONTROL. I REGAINED CONTROL THROUGH GENTLE BRAKING. INITIALLY I BELIEVED THE ISSUE TO BE WITH THE ROAD, HOWEVER, FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER AT 55 MPH, AND HITTING A HARD BUMP THE STEERING VIOLENTLY SHOOK AGAIN, WHILE THE FRONT END JUMPED UP AND DOWN AND LEFT AND RIGHT. I LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK EXITING THE PAVED SURFACE AND CAME TO REST IN THE BARROW PIT. BOTH INCIDENTS WERE ON PAVED FREEWAY (INTERSTATE 215 AND INTERSTATE 80 IN UTAH). I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE NARROWLY AS I NARROWLY MISSED A TRACTOR TRAILOR. I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FROM HENRY DAY FORD OF WEST VALLEY CITY, UTAH. THEY CERTIFIED THE USED TRUCK WITH A FULL INSPECTION OF THE STEERING SYSTEM. APPARENTLY, A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A "RECALL" FOR STEERING LINKAGE (SAFETY RECALL H46-MOPAR STEERING LINKAGE). RECALL WAS COMPLIED WITH DURING SEPTEMBER 2009. PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY STILL EXISTS EVEN AFTER RECALL COMPLIANCE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN MVC THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY, AND MY ABS DID NOT WORK. ALL I COULD HEAR WAS THE TIRES SLIDING. COULD NOT HEAR THE SOUND OF OR THE FEELING OF THE ABS WORKING. I ALSO TRIED TO SEE IF THEY WORKED WHEN WE HAD THE LAST SNOW. THE SAME THING HAPPENED. MY WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I JUST SLIDDED. MY VEHICLE IS AN 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4. IT IS IN THE SHOP NOW FOR THE REPAIRS FROM THE ACCIDENT. I TOLD KEENE DODGE IN JARRETTSVILLE I WANTED THE ABS CHECKED, AND TOLD THEM THE SAME THING I TOLD YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000. UPDATED 04/05/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FULE LINE TO THE #4 CYLINDER HAS A PLASTIC SUPPORT THAT VIBRATES LOOSE AND RUBS A HOLE INTO THE METAL FUEL LINE. FUEL IS SPRAYED ONTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WHEN FUEL PRESSURE IS LOST, THE ENGINE STALLS. UPDATED 08/06/10*JB

I PURCHASED A USED 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 5.9 LITER DIESEL WITH 52,523 MILES FROM A DEALER ON 1/18/10. THE TRUCK HAS NO PRIOR DAMAGE OR REPAIRS PER CARFAX AND THE DEALER INFO. I AM EXPERIENCING FRONT END HARMONIC WHEEL HOP AND SHAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF APPROX 50-70MPH. THIS WHEEL SHAKE OCCURS WHENEVER THE TRUCK RUNS OVER AN IRREGULAR ROAD SURFACE,POTHOLE OR BRIDGE TO ROAD DROP. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON LINE FORUMS AND HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER DODGE TRUCK OWNERS WHICH ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME CONDITION KNOWN AS A "DEATH WOBBLE". I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO A DODGE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DODGE RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE PITMAN ARM AND LOWER LINK AS PRESCRIBED. UNFORTUNATELY THIS DID NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT ALL. THE TRUCK STILL HAS THIS CONDITION AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION DUE TO THIS FRONT IN HARMONIC STEERING FAULT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY, I HIT A SMALL BUMP WHERE THE BRIDGE CONNECTS TO THE FREEWAY. MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I SLOWED, PUT ON MY HAZARDS, AND BEGAN PULLING TO THE RIGHT AS I GAINED CONTROL. I HAD THOUGHT IT WAS A FLAT TIRE. IT CORRECTED ITSELF AS I SLOWED, SO I BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN SLOWLY. AT THAT MOMENT I HIT THE BUMP THAT CONNECTED THE DEPARTURE PART OF THE BRIDGE TO THE FREEWAY, AND THE SHAKING CONTINUED. THIS TIME I DRIFTED WITH MY HAZARDS ON INTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THIS EVENT WAS TERRIFYING, AS I HAD MY WIFE AND 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME IN THE CAR. I WAS AFRAID FOR THEIR SAFETY AND EVERYONE AROUND US ON THE ROAD. ONCE I GOT HOME, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN. APPARENTLY THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR SOME TIME NOW, BECAUSE THEY NOTIFIED ME THERE WAS A FLYER THEY RECEIVED THAT STATED THIS COULD HAPPEN TO DODGE TRUCKS, AND THEY KNEW WHAT TO LOOK FOR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 50 AND 70 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN VIBRATING EXCESSIVELY AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO FALL APART. THE VIBRATION ALSO FORCED A VEHICLE DRIVING NEXT TO THE CONTACT TO SWITCH LANES. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE HAS BEEN KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE FRONT END ALIGNED; HOWEVER, AFTER THREE ALIGNMENTS, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

I JUST BOUGHT A 2007 DODGE DIESEL 4X4 WITH 9K MILES AND WHILE DRIVING FROM PHX TO ALBQ MY TRUCK DID THE WOBBLE 3 TIMES. IT WAS SCARY AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! *TR

I OWN A 2007 DODGE 2500 MEGA CAB AND HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED THE SO CALLED DODGE "DEATH-WOBBLE" ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHETHER A SMOOTH ROAD OR IF I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE THE TRUCK BEGINS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND DOES NOT STOP UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY (UNDER 30 MPH). I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE VIA THE WEB AND HAVE SEEN A NEWS REPORT OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH THE NEWER MODELS OF THE DODGE RAM SERIES. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE VEHICLE SCHEDULED FOR INSPECTION (2 DEC 09) WITH THE DEALER FOR POSSIBLE REPAIRS BUT WANTED TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT AS I BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER MOTORISTS AS REPORTED BY WSOC IN CHARLOTTE NC. I ONLY KNEW OF CONTACTING THE NHTSA BECAUSE OF THE NEWS REPORT I FOUND. THIS REOCCURING SITUATION IF NOT CORRECTED IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH IF NOT CORRECTED IS AN "EXTREME" DANGER TO ALL MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH HE LOST VEHICLE CONTROL. HE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TIE ROD FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, IN WHICH HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,800. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,600.

DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGA CAB. WHEN DRIVING SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 55 MPH THE FRONT-END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIMMY IF HE STRIKES A SMALL BUMP OR CRACK IN THE ROAD. USUALLY AFTER BRAKE APPLICATION THE WOBBLING STOPS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN ADDED THAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WAS A CONSISTENT FAILURE WITH HIS MODEL TYPE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER, AND A TEMPORARY REPAIR WAS MADE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THEY WOULD NOT CONFIRM THAT THE FAILURE EXISTS WITH THIS MODEL TYPE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL, AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE PARTICUTE FILTER ON THE EXHAUST FAILED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER SIX TIMES FOR IDENTICAL FAILURES, BUT THE TECHNICIANS HAVE ONLY PATCHED THE COMPONENT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 27000.

WE OWN A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 6.7 LITER DIESEL 4 X4 TRUCK, BOUGHT WITH 7311 MILES AND A FULL WARRANTY. WE BOUGHT IN JANUARY 2008. IT HAS NUMEROUS ISSUES THAT MAKE ME LITERALLY VOMIT WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE IT. WE HAVE HAD 6 REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE SINCE JUNE 2008 FOR EMISSION/TURBO/WIRING/TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS TRUCK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE "FIXED" IT EVERYTIME. A VEHICLE THAT LOSES ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION POWER ON THE HIGHWAY IS NOT A SAFE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THEY ALWAYS TELL ME IT IS "BEING TAKEN CARE OF BY DODGE RECALL/COMPUTER FLASHES, BUT THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. OUR FIRST ISSUE BEGAN IN APRIL 2008 WITH A CONSTANT ENGINE WARNING LIGHT BLARING AT US ALL THE TIME. THE DEALER TOLD US IT "JUST SOMETHING THESE TRUCKS DO". IT COULD BE ONE OF 200 SMALL THINGS, KEEP DRIVING IT, IT'S OK. VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING AND HESITATING ON ME IN TRAFFIC, I FELT IT WAS UNSAFE AND TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST OF MANY 02 SENSOR RECALL/REPLACEMENT/CLEANINGS. IT LOST POWER AGAIN IN AUGUST 2008 AND I HAD TO BE TOWED IN. ANOTHER 02/TURBO ISSUE. AGAIN IN OCTOBER 2008 LOST POWER, DITTO FOR REPAIRS. NEXT TIME IT BROKE DOWN WAS FEBRUARY 20090. DITTO FOR TURBO/EMISSION. MOST RECENTLY WAS JULY 2009. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION STALLED OUT ON ME PULLING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY.....TWICE IN ONE WEEK. DEALER COULDN'T DUPLICATE ISSUE WITH COMPUTER, FINALLY DECIDED IT WAS PROBABLY A WIRING ISSUE AND REPLACED A HARNESS. I HAVE TOLD THE SERVICE DEPT THA

I HAVE A DODGE 2007 2500 PICKUP 4X4 DIESEL 6.7. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN DRIVING 55-70 MPH AND HITTING A RIDGE OR EXPANSION JOINT ON THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIRES AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED, I REPLACED THE TIRES AND EXPERIENCED IT 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE SHOP. AFTER GETTING A ROD REPLACED IN THE FRONT END AND THE SHOP STATING IT WAS FIXED, IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN THE NEST 150 MILES. I BEGAN SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS AND CAME ACROSS THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" AND FOUND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THIS TRUCK FOR YEARS. I REALLY BELIEVED WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST FEW TIMES, I WAS ABOUT TO WRECK OR WORSE, WRECK SOMEONE ELSE. THE TRUCK SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THE DRIVER HAS ZERO CONTROL. IT MUST LOOK PRETTY BAD FROM OTHER DRIVERS VIEWS AS THEY QUICKLY STOP AND GET OUT OF THE WAY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A NEW TRUCK AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT MAKE THE BUYER HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE PARTS REPLACED AS I HAVE HAD TO DO. THE TRUCK IS SO BAD I CANNOT ALLOW IT TO BE DRIVEN BY MY WIFE OR ANYONE ELSE FOR FEAR THEY COULD BE KILLED. MY WIFE WORRIES EVERY TIME I GO TO WORK AS THIS HAS BECOME A BIG SOURCE OF STRESS IN OUR LIVES. *TR

2007 DODGE RAM 2500 W/ 6.7 DIESEL HAS MAJOR PROBLEM WITH EXHAUST SYSTEM, A DPF (DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER) CLOGS UP IN AS EARLY AS 2500 MILES AND CLOGS CONTINUOUSLY IF VEHICLE IS NOT (DRIVEN LIKE YOU STOLE IT) AS SUGGESTED TO ME BY DEALER, THIS PROBLEM INCREASES EXHAUST TEMPS, AND CAUSES VEHICLE TO CUT OUT AND HESITATE ON TAKE OFFS AND REQUIRES CONSTANT REPAIR AT THE DEALER, THERE ARE AFTERMARKET PARTS TO FIX PROBLEM BUT IT IS RECOMMENDED FOR OFFROAD USE ONLY. BUT MANY OF MY FRIENDS HAVE MADE THE CHANGES AND HAVE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500. I AM EXPERIENCING THE INFAMOUS "DEATH WOBBLE". WHEN DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED FOR THE ROAD CONDITIONS THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP. IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK 3 TIMES NOW. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA OF ALASKA SO I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET TO A SHOP YET. I CONTACTED A DODGE DEALER IN ANCHORAGE AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE STABILIZER SHOCK ON THE FRONT END. I HAVE READ MORE ABOUT IT ONLINE AND AM DISCOVERING THAT IT'S A SEVERE ISSUE. *TR

2007 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 DIESEL WHEN I DRIVE AROUND 55 MPH AND HIT A BUMP MY TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE VERY HARSH UNTIL I SLOW TO ABOUT 35MPH. THIS HAPPENS EVER TIME I GO OVER 50MPH. DODGE DEALER SEEMS TO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD VERY EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING ON MY 2007 2500 RAM, I TOOK IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND FOUND THAT THE STEERING LINKAGE IS UNDER RECALL. THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED TO THEM IS IDENTICAL TO THAT OF THE RECALL DESCRIPTION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS SHOT AND I NEED TO REPLACE. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE SINCE THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 47000 MILES AND THE DESCRIPTION MATCHES THAT OF THE RECALL. SECONDLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS AREN'T READILY AVAILABLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 2-3 WEEKS. I CANNOT TURN THIS VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT AT TIMES AND THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE! *TR

MY 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 GOES INTO "DEATH WOBBLE" AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 65 MPH. WHEN THE TRUCK IS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY IT WILL START TO RATTLE THE FRONT END TO A POINT THAT YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE RIDING ON A "SQUARE TIRE". EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!! APPARENTLY THIS IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE TO CHRYSLER MANAGEMENT AND STAFF...HOWEVER, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERS TO ESSENTIALLY BE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGERS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFECTLY FINE AND THAT I PROBABLY NEEDED TO BUY NEW TIRES! THIS PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY MORE SERIOUS THAN NEW TIRES... IT IS MY HOPES THAT SOMEONE CAN RAISE A RED FLAG TO THE ISSUE BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS AS A RESULT OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

THE STEERING LINKAGE ON MY 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 DISCONNECTED AT THE TIEROD END CAUSING ME TO NOT HAVE STEERING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN IN AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL. I WAS THEN ADVISED THAT THE RECALL WAS SUSPENDED. THE TIEROD END CAME APART DUE TO MECHANICAL DEFECT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM STARTED A YEAR AGO WITH THE TURBO, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. ALSO THE ACCELERATOR WOULD OPEN UP TO FULL THROTTLE WITHOUT ANY CONTROL, UNLESS HE CUT THE ENGINE OFF. AT TIMES THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE ABS FAILED. THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT, DUE TO THE ALIGNMENT BEING OUT OF SPECIFICATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,400. UPDATED 04-28-09 *BF THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO INTO OVERDRIVE. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD TO HUNT FOR GEARS AND THE INDICATOR WOULD DISAPPEAR ON THE DASH. UPDATED 04/29/09.*JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HAD JUST ROUNDED A CURVE IN THE ROAD WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. THE NEXT THING I KNOW THERE ARE FLAMES STARTING TO COME OUT OF THE DEFROST VENTS BY THE WINDSHIELD. I HURRIED UP AND PULLED THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD JUMPED OUT AND RAN ACROSS THE STREET. THERE I PROCEEDED TO CALL 911. IT TOOK 20 OR MORE MINUTES FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO SHOW UP. *TR

THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN AN ACCIDENT BUT I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL SAYING THAT THE DASH SILENCER PAD IN MY TRUCK MAY SAG AND CONTACT THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLER, AND THAT IT MAY CAUSE THE SILENCER PAD TO LOCALLY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE AN UNDER HOOD FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER MORE PARTS AND THAT THEY COULD HAVE IT BUY THE MIDDLE FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. IT IS NOW SATURDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND NOW I AM TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS ONLY ALLOWING 5 SUPPORT BRACKETS A WEEK AND THAT THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO INSTALL FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS. NOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN UNDER HOOD FIRE. I WORK CONSTRUCTION AND HAVE TO TRAVEL FOR WORK, I HAVE A 34 FOOT 5TH WHEEL THAT I, MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN LIVE IN SO WE CAN BE WHERE EVER THE JOB REQUIRES. SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS OCCURS AND ME AND MY FAMILY ARE PULLING THE 5TH WHEEL DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT WARNING MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT CATCHES FIRE, WITH PLENTY OF AIR BLOWING IN TO FUEL A FIRE SURROUNDED BY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES? HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REPLACE THE LIFE OF MYSELF, MY WIFE, MY 4 YEAR OLD SON OR MY 9 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER? *TR

CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE CARE OF A SERIOUS RECALL (COULD CAUSE FIRE) AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 2 WEEKS BEFORE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. SO JUST IN CASE I DIE IN A FIRE IN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS, I WANTED TO HAVE THIS ON FILE. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY DODGE RAM 2500 IN THE SHOP 9 TIMES FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT, THEY HAVE RESET IT AND STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK IN THE SHOP MORE THAN I HAVE HAD IT AVAILABLE TO DRIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL 5.7. THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE ON 10/31 FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE HAD NOTICED A FUNNY NOISE IN THE ENGINE BUT HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE DAY OF THE FIRE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STARTED ACCELERATING ITSELF LIKE IF YOU HAD THE VEHICLE ON NEUTRAL BUT WERE HITTING THE GAS PETAL ALL THE WAY. THEN MY HUSBAND PULLED OVER AND WHILE HE WAS LOOKING AT THE ENGINE TO SEE WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM SPARKS STARTED COMING OUT AND THEN THE ENTIRE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE AND THE MY TRUCK WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I PURCHASE IT NEW IN JUNE 2007, THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS. WE DID REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON IT. *TR

SEVERAL ISSUES WE ARE DEALING WITH. FIRST, THIS IS ONE THAT THE DEALERSHIP/SERVICE, CAN'T EVEN GET RIGHT. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WILL NOT COME OFF. THEY SAY IT'S BECAUSE OF THE GAS CAP, BUT WE ARE AWARE HOW TO PUT THE GAS CAP ON. ALSO, WE NOTICED YESTERDAY THAT OUR PAINT IS BUBBLING UP ON THE HOOD AND ROOF. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING, SINCE OUR TRUCK ONLY HAS APPROX. 13,500 MILES ON IT. ALSO, THIS MORNING THE "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" LIGHT CAME ON, AND WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. WE LOOKED IN OUR TRUCK MANUAL, AND CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ON IT. *TR

I OWN A 2007 DODGE DIESEL THAT HAS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE EMISSION SYSTEM. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX. THE VEHICLE MEETS THE LEMON LAW NEEDS BUT DODGE REFUSES TO CALL ME ABOUT THIS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS HAD THE TURBO REPLACED TWICE AND THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED 3 TIMES. ALSO A COUPLE CLEANINGS FOR THE TURBO. *TR

I LIKE OTHERS HAVE HAD MY NEW TRUCK IN THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ON THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD MY 2007 RAM 2500 6.7 IN THE DEALER FOR SEVEN VISITS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DPF AND EMISSION CK ENGINE LIGHT CODES. THE LAST WAS ON 9/22 AND WHEN I PICKED UP ON 9/23 I WAS TOLD TWO MORE TSB-TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE COME OUT OVER NIGHT AND I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK FOR THE PARTS ORDERED FOR THESE TSB'S. MT. CLEMENS DODGE HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL BUT DODGE CAN'T SEEM TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE FACT THAT I'VE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE AND SO MANY UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS. *TR

EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD - VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS!!!WE PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE DIESEL 6.7 LITER ENGINE MEGACAB TRUCK 14 MONTHS AGO, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN SHOWING ON THE ERROR MESSAGE BOARD, ALONG WITH MESSAGES ABOUT THE PARTICULATE FILTER. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE THEN WITH TWO TOTAL REPLACEMENTS OF THE POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE LAST ONE TOOK OVER THREE WEEKS APPARENTLY BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER. WE ONLY PUT 250 MILES ON THE TRUCK SINCE THAT TIME, AND WERE DRIVING OVER A HIGH MOUNTAIN PASS (7000 FEET ELEVATION), WHEN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE PASS AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR WHEN THE ENGINE TOTALLY CUT OUT. I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR AND ONLY HAD A FEW SECONDS TO BRAKE HARD BEFORE THE BRAKES AND STEERING FAILED TO RESPOND. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ERROR MESSAGES WERE SHOWING ON THE DASHBOARD. IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE WE WERE NEAR A DEEP GRAVELLY/SANDY SHOULDER AREA THAT THE TRUCK STOPPED. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALER IN MISSOULA, MT (LITIA). THEIR MECHANICS SAY THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE INFORMED THEM THAT WE WILL PURSUE THE LEMON LAW BUY BACK FROM CHRYSLER ON THIS VEHICLE. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING AROUND THE NATION. PLEASE EXPEDITE THIS REPORT TO INFORM PEOPLE OF THE VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THESE VEHICLES AND MAKE CHRYSLER RECALL THEM BEFORE FATALITIES ADD UP!!!!!! *TR

WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF PURCHASING THE 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 SLT REG W/ TURBO, (DELIVERY DATE OF 07/12/07) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

MY 2007 2500 4X4 DIESEL 6.7 HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE THE BEGINNING . IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A SHORT WHILE THEN GOES OFF . BUT THE OTHER DAY I WAS IN A TIGHT SITUATION, WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR HARD , A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME I IMMODERATELY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE , AND NORTHING WAS THERE , IT WET ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR THEN AFTER A SECOND OR TWO IT STARTED JUMPING AS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES STARTED TO WORK,THIS WAS A CLOSE ONE I COULDN'T OF SLIDE MY WALLET BETWEEN MY TRUCK AND THE CAR THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME . THIS TRUCK ALSO HAS THE WORSE RIDE ON CONCRETE FREEWAY PAVING . IT BOUNCES IN A UN STABLE, MOST IRRITATING WAY ,ON ASPHALT FREEWAY IT IS VERY SMOOTH, UNTIL YOU HIT A BUMP AND IT SHIMMY'S IN A UN SAFE FELLING LIKE IT COULD LOOSE CONTROL, I AM HAPPY WITH THE POWER OF THE MOTOR WHEN ITS GOT A FULL LOAD GOING UP HILL. WITH THAT EXCEPTION THIS IS THE WORST OVER PRICED TRUCK I'VE EVER OWNED , ILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN. *TR

THIS TRUCK ALSO HAS THE WORSE RIDE ON CONCRETE FREEWAY PAVING . IT BOUNCES IN A UN STABLE, MOST IRRITATING WAY ,ON ASPHALT FREEWAY IT IS VERY SMOOTH, UNTIL YOU HIT A BUMP AND IT SHIMMY'S IN A UN SAFE FELLING LIKE IT COULD LOOSE CONTROL, I AM HAPPY WITH THE POWER OF THE MOTOR WHEN ITS GOT A FULL LOAD GOING UP HILL. WITH THAT EXCEPTION THIS IS THE WORST OVER PRICED TRUCK I'VE EVER OWNED , ILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN. *TR

TRAVELING ON A DIRT ROAD, OUR 2007 2500 DODGE RAM HIT A THREE INCH STUMP, (WE WERE ONLY GOING ABOUT 5 M.P.H.) RESULTING IN BENDING THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING AND SUBSEQUENTLY RELEASING ALL THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. THIS CAUSED THE FRONT AXLE TO LOCK UP ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK SKIDDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. OUR 1996 PATHFINDER NAVIGATED THE AFOREMENTIONED ROAD SEVERAL TIMES AND WE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. ALL OF THE COMPONENTS THAT WERE HOUSED IN THE FRONT AXLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE STRONGLY FEEL THAT IT IS A DESIGN ERROR, BUT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER UNDER MANUFACTURE WARRANTY, CITING DRIVER ERROR. (THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD) IF MY HUSBAND HADN'T REALIZED THAT THERE WAS FLUID LEAKING AFTER THE 'MINOR BUMP', WE WOULD HAVE WRECKED GOING 70 M.P.H. ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DODGE RAM IS TOUTED AS BEING BUILT 'RAM TOUGH' BUT SUCH A 'MINOR BUMP' COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES HAD WE NOT REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE A RECALL. *TR
