ON 2/19/14 THE PARTS CLERK SAID CHRYSLER HAS REDUCED THE NUMBER TO ONE EVERY SEVEN DAY, AND THAT I WAS 50TH ON THE LIST AND THEY COULDN'T EVEN ORDER MY PARTS FOR 350 DAYS. THEY WERE SORRY BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE CHRYSLER WAS LIMITING THE ORDERING. THE DEALER HAS BEEN POLITE BUT THEY BLAME THE PROBLEM ON CHRYSLER NOT HAVING THE PARTS.

A FEW WEEKS AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ADVANCE AUTO PARTS SAID AN ERROR CODE FOR THE TURBO CHARGER WAS PRESENT. I HAVE 43900 MILES ON THE ENGINE. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NOT CRITICAL AND I MADE AN APPT. BEFORE BRINGING IT BACK, A NEW CODE STATED DPF FILTER FULL 100%. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE DPF NEEDED REGENERATION AND WOULD COST $150+. NEW TRUCKS GIVE WARNINGS OF 25%/50%/100% AND "CHANGE DRIVING HABITS". APPARENTLY DIESELS SHOULDN'T BE DRIVEN IN TOWN W/OVERDRIVE. INSTEAD WE NEED TO PULL HEAVY LOADS. THE ONLY OPTION: DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY IN 4TH GEAR TO BRING RPMS TO AT LEAST 2500 RPM EVERY SO OFTEN! PLUS, THE TURBO CHARGER APPARENTLY WAS CLOGGED BECAUSE I DON'T USE THE DIESEL AUTOMATIC DECELERATION BRAKE WHEN NOT PULLING A TRAILER. THE DEALER HAD TO ORDER SOME TYPE OF ADDITIVE TO CLEAN THE TURBO CHARGER AND THEY DID 3 CLEANINGS WITH 3 CANS OF CLEANER ON A MACHINE TO LET THE ENGINE RUN. THE MANAGER DIDN'T CHARGE ME TO DO THE CLEANING SINCE THEY WERE INTER-RELATED AND HAPPENED TOGETHER. OTHERWISE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE AND CLEANING CHARGE THAT TOOK TWO HOURS TO DO. I ASKED IF DODGE WAS PLANNING AN UPGRADE TO THE ONBOARD COMPUTER TO PROVIDE THOSE PRE-WARNINGS FOR THE DPF FILTER. THE SVC MGR SAID NO. WHY NOT? FROM ALL I READ, IF THE DPF FILTERS GETS TO 100% IT CAN DAMAGE THE SYSTEM. TO REPLACE THE DPF, IT AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST IN THE $5-6000! SO, THE ONLY OPTION IS TO PERIODICALLY HAVE THEM

THE WHOLE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY, I THOUGHT I MAY LOOSE CONTROL, OR THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STAY UPRIGHT. THE SHAKING CONTINUED UNTIL I STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER. A CAREFUL INSPECTION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF LOOSE PARTS. I DROVE ANOTHER 30 MINUTES (5 ON FREEWAY, 25 ON SURFACE ROADS) WITHOUT ANOTHER INCIDENT. BAFFLING. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS DIESEL TRUCK IN MANY CONDITIONS AND ON MANY SURFACES WITH THIS TRUCK. VIBRATIONS HAVE BEEN STRONG SOMETIMES IN THE PAST, SET OFF BY "WASH-BOARDS" IN THE PAVEMENT...SEEM TO BE WORSE IN THE "TRACTOR TRAILER/SLOW" LANES. BUT THIS EVENT WAS 2-3 X THE INTENSITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE THEN ABNORMALLY AND INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. IN ADDITION, SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AREA. THE VEHICLE THEN CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INJURY AND THE FIRE WAS CONTAINED BY THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED BUT TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. *TR

WAS AT HOME, BACKING OUT OF DRIVE WAY,, THE DRIVER SIDE TIE ROD FELL OFF! COULD NOT GET A TOW TRUCK INSIDE MY DRIVE TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED. SO I GOT A BUDDY TO HELP ME REMOVE THE OLD TIE ROD END AND REPLACE IT WITH A MOOG TIE ROD END. HAD IT REALIGNED. MY COMPLAINT IS DODGE WON'T REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. DODGE SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED THIS OUT 3-27-12 AT BILL HODGES DODGE IN VINITA, OK. THEY DID A MEASUREMENT AND DECIDED IT WAS OK. WELL NOT SO!, IT BROKE IN MY DRIVE WAY BACKING STRAIGHT BACK. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE TURNPIKE 75 MPH? IF IT NEEDS CHECKED ON A RECALL IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED!!!! *TR

RETAINING NUT ON TPMS SENSOR SPLIT CAUSING TIRE TO LOSE ALL AIR. 1 WEEK LATER ANOTHER TIRE HAD COMPLETE DEFLATION AND TPMS SENSOR HAD FALLEN IN TO WHEEL. INSPECTED ALL SENSORS AND FOUND ALL TPMS RETAINING NUTS HAD SPLIT. THIS CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC AIR LOSS AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TWO ENTIRE SENSORS AND WILL ATTEMPT TO HAVE RETAINING NUTS ON OTHER TWO SENSORS REPLACED. DEALER WILL NOT PERFORM WORK UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT!! *TR

BACKING UP HORSE TRAILER AND TIE ROD END BROKE COMPLETELY OFF DRIVER SIDE. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED ON 3/12/12 PER RECALL BUT NOTHING WAS DONE. ITS A SHAME DEALERS ARE SENDING YOU OFF WITH STEERING COMPONENTS THAT ARE NOT SAFE. *TR

REPLACED TIRE WITH SPARE. DEALER REPAIRED AND SAID NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM BEFORE. STILL NOT SECURE WITH TRUCK OR IF ANY OTHERS ARE LIKE THIS? IF GOING AT A FASTER SPEED COULD BE DEADLY! *TR

VALVE STEM RETAINING NUTS ARE ALL CRACKED. I CAUGHT THEM BEFORE THEY SEPARATED, BUT HAVE READ ABOUT OTHERS THAT HAVE SEPARATED, ALLOWING TPMS MODULE TO FALL INTO TIRE, WHICH INSTANTLY DEFLATES AND COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL. DEALER SAYS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DESPITE BEING CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

DPF FILTER CLOGGED UP FOR THIRD TIME HAVE HAD TO GET DEALER, TO REPAIR. REQUESTING CLASS ACTION SUITE MATERIAL FOR THIS PROBLEM. HAVE LEARNED THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

TPMS RETAINING NUT FELL OFF & THIS CAUSED FLAT TIRE AT SPEED. THIS IS THE 4TH TPMS RETAINING NUT THAT HAS FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE OTHER 3 WERE FOUND CRACKED BEFORE THEY FAILED & REPLACED AT THAT TIME (OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS).

HI, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO SEARS TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND THE STEERING CHECKED BECAUSE I HAD STARTED TO FEEL CROW HOPPING WHEN MAKING SLOW TURNS. WHEN THEY REMOVED THE FRONT TIRES THEY CHECKED TO FIND WHAT WAS CREATING THE CROW HOPPING AS I HAD REQUESTED. THEY FOUND THAT THE CV JOINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS NOT WORKING AS IT SHOULD, AND UPON REMOVING IT THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE BALL JOINTS WERE BAD. AT THIS POINT I HAD SEARS DO THE WORK BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. THEY REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AND SO FAR THE CROW HOPPING SEEMS TO HAVE GONE AWAY.I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID#11V350000 . I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW ,BUT HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND TALKED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT RE-IMBURSMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE PARTS REPLACED WHERE NOT MOPAR AND POSSIBLY BECAUSE THE WORK WAS NOT DONE AT DODGE. I THINK THIS IS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE I DID NOT GET A NOTICE AND I WAS NOT TAKING THE TRUCK UNTIL IT WAS SAFE TO DO SO. *TR

CONCERNING FRACTURE ON THE LEFT TIE ROD END *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE SERVICE DEPT INFORMED HIM, IN ORDER TO CHECK FOR A FRACTURE, IT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE WITH AN ULTRASONIC DETECTOR AND A TRANSDUCER OR SOME TYPE OF DYE.

I TRIED TO GET THE BROKEN PART, BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT PROVIDE IT. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE, BUT EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT REPAIR THAT COST ME TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT TO HAND SHOVEL. PLUS MY WIFE'S TIME OFF WORK. BEST WISHES, HOPE THIS HELPS MAKE A SAFER VEHICLE. *TR
