Check engine light is on. Strong smell of gas when vehicle is shut off. Vehicle stalls at slow speeds. Can't tell the engine quit as the rpms bottom out and engine dies. Very dangerous for driving. No control after the engine stops. This happened twice today. First time was in traffic in a town at a stop light. Couldn't restart the engine for awhile and couldn't get the truck out of traffic. Second time slowed to turn around in a driveway entrance and backed up when I came to a stop to shift to d the engine stalled and I didn't know it. My truck was at an angle crossing 2 lanes of taffic. Luckily, I was able to get it restarted. I googled the problem and it seems to be very common and dangerous with limited success on finding a repair solution.
Dodge Ram 1500 2004 cracked dash issue known to every Dodge owner of 2nd and some 3rd generation trucks. Dash has cracked in 4 to 5 places and now there is a big hole in the right front. Terrible part failure with potential to cause harm.
The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact received a recall notice associated with two different voluntary recalls issued by the manufacturer. The recall reference numbers were e17 and h46. The safety defect components were unknown. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for the recall remedy repair; however, the technician refused to repair the vehicle after an appointment was previously scheduled. The dealer was unable to provide a date when the vehicle could be repaired. The manufacturer was notified and would not provide further assistance. The current mileage was approximately 46,000. There was no failure mileage. The VIN was unavailable.
Dash board is cracking just like all the other Dodge trucks of this same time frame. It has many sharp edges that have the potential to do harm to somebody. I don't understand, there are countless complaints of this on every forum and complaint site. There was also a news broadcast about, and has anybody tried to resolve this problem? the only response you get is "get a dash cover" . No, I don't want something to cover-up the crack I want it fixed. Sure, I can buy a new one, but it will just do it again in a couple of years. They need to produce a better dash, made of better material, and show some kind ownership of the product they produce.
Vehicle is stalling and the engine dies while slowing, turning, and stopping. It now occurrs several times a week. It has been very dangerous on occasion such as turning across traffic and approaching red lights and stop signs.
Dash is cracking!! . I took to the dealer. Dealer said plastic is not covered in the warranty.
The complaint I have is related to my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. I have experienced the turn signals do not respond accordingly or not at all. If turning left, the right signal would come on, if turning right, the left signal would come on or not at all. This issue has also affected my windshield wipers speed. I no longer have a high speed wiper option. I feel this is an extremely dangerous issue as vehicles behind me or in front of me will not know which way I am turning or switching lanes if the need is there. I have to continuously have to jiggle the steering wheel to get the signals to work. There are several reports of this issue with various years of the Dodge trucks and durangos and believe this should be a recall issue. Thank you for your time.
2004 Dodge ram. Severe cracks in dashboard.
After random amounts of normal driving speedometer starts bouncing at idle from 0-5 mph then abs and brake warning lights illuminate after ariving at dealer I was told it was caused by a leaking abs connector that was "improperly desigened" and all they could do was clean it out and fill it with electromagnetic grease . I was also told (by more than one dealer)that I was not the only one with this problem and daimler Chrysler has been no help other than letting me lodge a complaint and sending me a letter of apology both times happened under 9,000 miles and thankfully have not happend again (I'm at about 15,000 miles).
