2012 Dodge Ram 2500 complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I 10 TODAY GOING 70 MY TRUCK STARTED VIGOROUSLY SHACKING AND MAKING MY TRUCK RUN OFF THE ROAD IT WAS ALL I HAD TO KEEP FROM CRASHING MY FRONT END OR READ END FELT LIKE IT LOCKED UP THEN I TRIED PULLING OFF AND MY TRUCK HAD LITTLE POWER IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET IT RUNNING RIGHT AGAIN BUT EVERY BUMP I HIT THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED I LOOKED UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK AND COULD SEE FLUID COMING FROM MY STEERING COLUMN THIS HAPPENED LITERALLY AT 180000 MILES AT 86000 MILES MY 2012 DIESEL EXHAUST FILTER CLOGGED COMPLETELY UP AND THE DEALER SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE 100000 MILE WARRANTY I PAID $934 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE EXHAUST PROBLEM S STILL TOO.

WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAY AND GETTING UP TO SPEED ONTO I95, TRUCK STARTED TO VIBRATE. I BACKED OFF THEN TRIED AGAIN TO ACCELERATE, AT THIS TIME THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHOCK IN MY HANDS LEFT AND RIGHT RAPIDLY. I LET OFF SPEED AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I GOT INTO THE BREAK DOWN LANE AT APPROX. 45 MPH THAT I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I THEN PULLED OUT AGAIN AND RESUMED. THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED A FEW ADDITIONAL TIMES MOSTLY WHILE TRANSFERRING FROM SOLID PAVEMENT TO CROSSING BRIDGES. I MADE APPOINTMENT DISCUSSING THE ISSUE. I TOOK TRUCK IN THEY ROTATED TIRES AND IT WAS GONE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. NOW HERE IT IS JULY AND THE TRUCK IS STARTING TO REACT THAT WAY AGAIN, MOSTLY WHILE TRAVELING ON BRIDGES. THE LEFT ARM HAD PREVIOUS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL 2 TIMES SINCE DECEMBER 1,2014 FOR DIESEL FUEL HEATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND HAVE BEEN TO THE DODGE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THIS HAS BEEN OVER 8 MONTHS NOW AND I AM NOW EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A STICKING THROTTLE AS I DRIVE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN RELEASING THE THROTTLE. IT ALSO AT IDLE WILL INCREASE THE RPM ON IT'S OWN. UPDATE 9/15/15*CW THE FUEL HEATER WAS FIXED. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH HIGH IDLE AND THE VEHICLE ONLY SLOWED DOWN WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE HIGH IDLE AND CONSTANT INSTANCES OF FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE INABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM THE VEHICLES INFORMATION PORT STILL EXISTS. UPDATED 10/01/15*JB

WHEN ACCELERATION FROM A START AND TURING TO THE RIGHT I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE UNDER THE DASH ..AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. HAD A RECALL ON THIS TRUCK LESS THAN A YEAR ....... DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS WOULD HELP ....... THE NOISE STILL EXISTS AND HASN'T AFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TRUCK....... I AM MORE CONCERNED WITH THIS NOISE SINCE THE MEDIA NEWS ON DODGE RECALLS.......CONCERNED??

AFTER RECEIVING NOTIFICATION FROM DODGE THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE DIESEL FUEL HEATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR (RECALL P65/NHTSA 14V-635) MY DODGE DEALER (RAIRDON DODGE, BELLINGHAM) TOLD ME THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL WERE ON BACK ORDER FROM DODGE. SUBSEQUENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND WHEN DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE OXYGEN SENSOR SYSTEM. ONCE AGAIN THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER FROM DODGE AND THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED, THIS WAS CLOSE TO A MONTH AGO AND IN THE MEANTIME THE TRUCK HAS BEEN PARKED AND NOT BEEN USED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS EXTENDED PERIOD WAITING FOR BACK ORDERED PARTS IS EXCESSIVE AND NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED, ESPECIALLY WHEN DODGE INDICATED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL WERE AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V635000 (FUEL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY 55 MPH TOWING HEAVY DUTY CONCRETE TRAILER ( 2 AXLE 4 YARD W/REAR MOUNTED MIXER) AND TRUCK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING BAD , LEAVING ME WITH NO CONTROL . HAVE INVESTED OVER$1000 IN PARTS ALONE, WITH NO LUCK. NOW AM REPLACING ALL TIE RODS AND BALL JOINTS $500 (PARTS ALONE), TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. THOUGH I HAVE READ THERE IS NO FIX??? CANT SELL IT CUZ I OWE 36,000 AND IT IS ONLY WORTH 25,000. I AM 3 MONTHS BEHIND ON PAYMENTS CUZ I NEED TRUCK FOR WORK TO MAKE MONEY, BUT HAS BEEN IN SHOP (UNRELATED WOULD NOT START) FOR 3 WEEKS AND $1300 MORE DOLLARS, FOR SOME FUEL MODULE B.S. AND MY FINANCE COMPANY WANTS TO KNOW WHERE THEIR MONEY IS, AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK? SO I ASK THEM WHICH MONTH THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT. THESE TRUCKS ARE GARBAGE!!!! NEVER BUY DODGE ( PROBABLY WHY THEY CHANGED NAME OF TRUCKS TO "RAM") SOME LEGAL MAMBO JUMBO TO SAVE THEIR ASS. AND THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT FOR WHAT???? WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE WAS A SEARCH FOR TIE RODS, CAUSE I BELIEVE THAT TO BE MY PROBLEM. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT TIE RODS BREAKING, I WILL NOW REPLACE ALL TIE RODS ON MY OWN DIME, BECAUSE MY LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN $1000 DOLLARS OF PARTS. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING BEING COVERED UP. WHY IN THE HELL CAN DEALERS ONLY GET 15 PARTS (B.S.) A MONTH, BUT I CAN GO EBAY, AMAZON, (WHICH I AM BY THE WAY) AND HAVE THEM IN A COUPLE DAYS. CAUSE I AM PAYING FOR THEM? IS CHRYSLER THAT BROKE ? CRAPPY PRODUCTS, CRAPPY DESIGN, AND GUESS WHAT, NO ACCOUNTABILITY. RECI

I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART.IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS SINCE THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE THEN THEY SEND ANOTHER ONE AND STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS.WHAT GOOD IS A RECALL OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURE DOES NOT SUPPLY THE PARTS! I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM AND MADE A REPORT BEFORE ABOUT THE TRUCK NOT STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN.THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE STICKS AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING AT DUSK AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED AND THEN INDEPENDENTLY DISENGAGED. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE MANUALLY ENGAGED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. IN ADDITION, THE THREE BRAKE STOP LIGHTS FAILED.

IN DECEMBER CHRYSLER MAILED AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" P65/NHTSA 14V-635. WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO CORRECT THE SAFETY ISSUE, THEY TOLD ME THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. FOR MORE INFORMATION I WOULD HAVE TO CALL CHRYSLER. ON 12/26/14 I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE APRIL 2015. ON MAY 1ST, I RECEIVED A SUBSEQUENT "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" P65/NHTSA 14V-635 FROM CHRYSLER, SO I CALLED MY LOCAL DOGE RAM DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD AGAIN THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO CALL CHRYSLER TO GET MORE INFORMATION. I DO NOT BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS TAKING THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL SERIOUSLY. THAT BEING SAID, ON THE SAFETY NOTICE IT SAYS "A LEAKING DIESEL FUEL FILTER/HEATER COULD CAUSE UNDER HOODSMOKE AND/OR AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE". *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH WHEN I HAD TO COME TO A STOP BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC AND THE THROTTLE APPARENTLY DID NOT DISENGAGE CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES HARD. ONLY AFTER A FEW SECONDS WHEN I STOPPED DID THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFT AND RETURNED TO IDLE FUNCTION.THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND SINCE THIS INCIDENT.THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO IDLED HIGH AT TIMES AND WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN REMOVING PRESSURE TO THE FUEL PEDAL.IT IS AS IF THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY STICKS WHICH IS AN APPARENT ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION.THIS IS AND HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND CONTACTED DODGE RAM ABOUT THIS WITH NO SATISFACTION.I WILL BE DRAFTING A REGISTERED LETTER TO NHTS BOARD AND DODGE RAM RELEASING LIABILITY FROM THIS ISSUE UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED. I ALSO HAVE A RECALL ABOUT THE FUEL FILTER HEATER FROM DECEMBER AND STILL THE MANUFACTURE HAS NOT PROVIDED THE PARTS SO AS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *TR

CHRYSLER HAS HAD NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V635000 COMPONENT(S): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING , FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL IN EFFECT SINCE OCTOBER 2014. MY TRUCK HAS THIS RECALL PROBLEM. I CONTINUALLY HAVE ENGINE CODE P2609 ACTIVE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS AND ALL THEY WILL SAY IS THAT THE REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. MY TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPAIR THE TRUCK. ALONG WITH THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT", I HAVE A DIESEL FUEL SMELL ENTERING THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AT VARIOUS TIMES. CHRYSLER WILL GIVE ME NO DATE AS TO WHEN THEY WILL REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THE LOCAL DEALERS SAY THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL CHRYSLER GET THE REPAIR PARTS NEEDED. IT SEEMS LOGICAL THAT IF CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A WARRANTY ON A VEHICLE THEN THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN EARLY DECEMBER 2014 STATING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH A DIESEL FUEL HEATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON MY TRUCK THAT MAY LEAD TO O-RING FAILURE AND POTENTIAL FIRE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER TWICE AND AS OF LAST CONTACT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN A "FIX" MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. SINCE POSSIBLE FIRE IS THE RISK AND THE DEALER, INITIALLY, DID NOT EVEN KNOW THEY WAS/IS A RECALL, I AM CONCERNED. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT CHRYSLER SINCE THE DEALER KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. SINCE I WAS TALKING WITH THE CHRYSLER DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, I ASSUMED I WAS TALKING WITH CHRYSLER. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE MY LAST CONTACT WITH THEM AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING TO DATE. CAN YOU HELP OR PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE.

DODGE HAS ISSUED A RECALL FROM OCTOBER 7 2014 FOR RECALL P65 / NHTSA14V-635 STATING THAT THE DIESEL FUEL HEATER MAY OVERHEAT LEAK DIESEL AND CAUSE SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OR CATCH FIRE. AFTER HAVING SERVICE AT THE DEALER THEY STATED THEY HAVE NO FIX YET OR PARTS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH MAY CAUSE A FIRE, HERE ARE THEIR WORDS FROM THEIR WEBSITE UNDER RECALL STATUS FOR MY VIN INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS THE SECOND SAFETY ISSUE WHERE DODGE RAM HAS HAD A SAFETY ISSUE BUT NO PARTS THE FIRST WAS THE LEFT TIE ROD WHERE THEY HAD NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO ISSUE SAFETY RECALLS AND HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CATCH ON FIRE OR SMOKE THIS PLACES PEOPLE ON THE ROAD AT RISK. *TR

I LEFT THE TRUCK RUNNING, I WALKED ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY WHILE DOING SOME CLEANING ON MY PROPERTY AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE THE GROUND ON FIRE. IT LOOKED LIKE FIRE DRIPPING DOWN FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND IN NO TIME THE TRUCK BURNED TO THE GROUND. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO AT THIS POINT? SHOULD I GET AN ATTORNEY? *TR

TOWING 5TH WHEEL TRAILER UPHILL IN LOW GEAR, LOST POWER,BIG BANG SMOKE FIRE.!!! *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK I WILL OCCASIONALLY SMELL A VERY STRONG DIESEL EXHAUST ODOR FROM THE A/C VENTS IN THE CABIN OF THE TRUCK, ONLY WHEN FRESH AIR IS SELECTED (NOT RECIRCULATE). I HAVE NOTICED THIS SMELL ONLY OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP, AND USUALLY CORRESPONDS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN A REGENERATION PROCESS. THE ONLY INDICATOR I HAVE FOR REGENERATION IS SEVERELY DECREASED FUEL MILEAGE THE VERY STRONG UNTREATED EXHAUST SMELL BEING EMITTED INTO THE CABIN OF THE TRUCK. AFTER 5 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ATTEMPTED WARRANTY REPAIR, THE TRUCK STILL WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE CONDITION CONTINUED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER CARE AND TO SEEK RESOLUTION AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER. IN THE MEANWHILE, I WAS INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO KEEP THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IN RECIRCULATION MODE TO AVOID BREATHING IN THE EXHAUST FUMES. SUBSEQUENTLY, AFTER SEVERAL DIFFERENT CONVERSATIONS WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE STAFF, I WAS INFORMED THIS IS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT I RESERVED MY LEGAL RIGHTS TO PURSUE ACTION. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM, AND WOULD RATHER SEEK PROTECTION FROM LEGAL SETTLEMENT OR SOME OTHER MEANS TO AVOID ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES (INCLUDING MYSELF) SHOULD BE EXPOSED TO UNTREATED EXHAUST IN THE CABIN OF THE TRUCK, PERIOD. THIS IS A CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED AND ADDRESSED. UPON RESEARCH I DISCOVED SIMILAR COMPLIANTS WERE MADE TO THE NHTSA FOR MODEL YEARS 2010 AND 2011. ADDITIONA

MY LEFT TIE ROD SNAPPED AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. WRITING TO YOU JUST TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE. I WENT TO TRI COUNTY CHRYSLER IN POTTSTOWN, PA TO GET AN INSPECTION TO SEE IF I NEEDED THE RECALL WORK DONE. I WAS TOLD THAT I DID NOT NEED THE RECALL DONE, SO THEY ENTERED MY VIN IN SAYING THEY COMPLETED THE WORK. SO A COUPLE WEEKS LATER MY TIE ROD SNAPS, SO MUCH FOR NOT NEEDING THE RECALL DONE. SO I GET IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAY YES I NEED THE RECALL DONE AND DO THE WORK. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER, I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR COULD HAVE INJURED SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

PLEASE NOTE THAT OVER A YEAR AGO I RECEIVED A POSTCARD STATING I NEED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THIS RECALL FIXED BUT ALL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TELL ME I'M ON A WAITING LIST BECAUSE EACH PLACE ONLY GETS A FEW PER MONTH. HOW CAN THIS BE SAFE? I KEEP GETTING POSTCARDS FROM CHRYSLER ASKING WHY I HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE RECALL FIX? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ELSE I AM SUPPOSE TO DO? I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL EFFORTS WITH 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO TRY AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. WHY IS CHRYSLER ONLY MAKING A FEW AVAILABLE TO EACH DEALERSHIP? *TR

I SUBMITTED MY ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LEFT TIE ROD END (N49/NHTSA 13V-529) TO TATE BRANCH DODGE IN ARTESIA NM ON OR ABOUT JANUARY 6, 2014 AND WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME I WAS FIRST ON THE LIST TO BE DONE. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE REPAIR. THIS IS BEGINNING TO CONCERN ME THAT THEY HAVE NO REGARD FOR ME OR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. *TR

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE N49/NHTSA 13V-529 REGARDING OUR DODGE 2500. WE BEGIN THE PROCESS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED IN JANUARY WITH OUR LOCAL DEALER. IN APRIL WE FINALLY GOT IN TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. WE DO HAVE THE FAULTY LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD THAT NEEDS REPLACING. OUR LOCAL LINWOOD CHRYSLER DEALER TELLS US, IN SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE WORK DONE, THAT THEY HAVE ONLY RECEIVED 2 PARTS FROM CHRYSLER. WHEN WE CONTACTED THE 2ND DEALER THEY TOLD US A SIMILAR SITUATION. WE HAVE WENT FROM # 7 ON THE LIST, TO # 31, AND NOW ARE # 41. WHEN WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WE WERE TOLD THAT 5-6 OF THESE REPAIR PARTS ARE SHIPPED WEEKLY TO EACH DEALERSHIP WITH WAITING LIST. WE HAVE FOUND THAT CHRYSLER IS SHIPPING ONE PART EVERY 21 DAYS TO SOME DEALERSHIPS, SOMETIMES. THEY REPEAT THE SAME "FAIR DISTRIBUTION" LINE TO US, THE CUSTOMER, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TELLING THEIR DEALERS. WE HAVE NOT DROVE THIS EXPENSIVE, FAULTY TRUCK FOR 8 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE UNHAPPY ABOUT THE LIES OF "PARTS ON ORDER". *TR
