general problems of the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 - part 2

My 2004 Dodge ram driver side stop working my keys got lock inside the only way to open is by using the remote and climb through one of the other doors which now it is impossible since none of my doors open anymore specially the driver door that it is supposed to open either with the original key or the remote which I can't do either, this is very frustrating because I am an older woman and can't be climbing through my window to do perform this. Please help ## VIN passed ## Dodge ram pickup 1500 2004 ##.

My truck stalls as I come to a stop. This happens probably about 4 times a month since the date above. The dealership hasn't been able to find the problem. I have read on forums online that a ton of other people are having the same problem. Some say it has to do with erg valve and it should be recalled. They said they replace the egr valve and the problem is fixed.

Speedometer moves in 5 mph increments when it's not stuck; it also shows vehicle speeds of 5 - 10 mph when stopped and in park. Dealer says the entire instrument cluster needs replaced at a cost of approximately $800. 00.

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 hemi. Fuse box gets water inside and corrodes the circuit board resulting in loss of parking lights, dash lights, more. 2. The rear ends go out prematurely. 3. Air bags dont go off in accident 45 mph 4. Front rotors warp. 45,000 miles.

About 30 percent of the time, my turn signals and flashers do not indicate the signal I want to give. During those times, when I indicate right it doesn't flash at all. If I indicate left, it indicates right. Also if I put on the hazards, it eather corrects the problem or it indicates left. This is very frusturating and provides a big safety incident on the road. I have noticed that I am not the only person that has had this before as it is a very common occurence on the web. It increases substantially during the fall and winter months and is almost not existant during the summer months. It also affects my wipers that when I have the lights on I can see that my vehicle is acting up because the wipers are at 1 detent less than what I am trying to provide. This makes it so I can't use the fast wiping position. Thanks for your help.

I have 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5. 7 liter, it has had a problem with electrical system the wiper will start and stop while it is running and the head lights will flash on when the truck is shut off it has been in the shop more than 7 time and have replace numerous parts.

Water is leaking into the wheel sensor causing it to short and then the entire cluster in the dash to short. Abs and brake light will come on and speedometer start jumping around. Happened in November 2006, had it fixed by dealer and now it has happened again. Dealership nor Dodge will take any responsibility for it.

My husband bought our 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 (hemi) in Jan 2004 and has about 130,000 miles now. We had problems with the breaks and rotors just like every one else on here in March of 2005 when driving down the highway with cruise on and the truck lost all power. The rpm went to zero but the truck was still running . To get the rpm to come back on we would have to turn off the truck and restart the truck. Every time the electrical light would come on, all while in traffic at 65-70 mph. This went on from March 2005- Jan 2007. We have been to the dealer many times and they couldn't get any codes to come up. Then in January 07 we got off the highway to stop at a store and had to make a left turn into the store. The truck made a loud pop noise and died. When my husband started the truck back up it was sputtering and wouldn't stay running without keeping the truck above 2000 rpms. I took the truck to my dad who is a robertson tire repair tech. He couldn't get any codes to come up. Then about 45 min after letting the truck sit he ran the codes again and got about fifteen codes. We replaced all the sensors and it didn't help so went to the dealer again. They couldn't get any codes and couldn't tell us what was wrong. Why it wouldn't stay running. So I just thought I would file my complaint and let everyone know what happens after its done stalling what happens next. I will not buy another Dodge.

Abs module failed. Water leaking from hood caused abs connector to corrode up resulting in failure of the instrumentation panel (all gauges) including windshield wipers and overhead information center. No anti lock brakes.

Door lock will only open from inside.

At around 8:00 am on October 12, 2006, there was a spontaneous combustion from the driver's dashboard of my 2004 Dodge durango while it was parked in the garage (not even turned on). This incident nearly burned our condo unit which was above the garage and endangered my wife and kids who were still sleeping. Luckily, my wife awoke and called 911 (incident report #2006-6223247-000 ccfd clark county). After several communications with Chrysler Dodge, they sent an "investigator" only after 4 days to take pictures; they sent us a letter saying it was not a factory defect and they were not responsible for the damage. When asked what could have been the possible cause -they said they didn't know (?!?). We then consulted and asked help from the dealership (integrity Dodge, lv,nv -since we got the vehicle only a year ago and is still under warranty and that it was our only car) they said the same thing and insist we contact our insurance. We asked them why we should use our insurance when there was no accident because the car was just sitting in the garage? besides, if the insurance company were to reimburse us it would be very much below what we owe our bank and would also charge us a deductible. Honestly, my family is having such a hard time with what happened and especially when we are also a little tight on our finances since my wife is not working because she is taking care of our 8 year-old daughter and 6 month-old baby; and I just started on a new job. As of now we can't afford fancy lawyers or hire private investigators to scrutinize the cause of the fire -so we don't have anybody on our side. Hoping you can help us and thank you very much for your time.

I have a 2004 Dodge 1/2t 1500 series truck I have had it at the shop 3 time in the last 2 weeks. You can be driving along and all of a sudden it slows down to 5-10 miles per hour for no reason. The shop said it was because of the crank in the computer, the 2nd time it was because of the air conditioner(which it is winter so I don't have it on) and the last time it has been 4 days since they have had the vehicle and still don't know what has caused the problem. So I am still without a vehicle. . I would hate to be driving down the interstate at 55-65 if this thing decides to shut down. Because it is all of a sudden. Thank you for you time. Fyi.

I have an 2004 Dodge durango that has stalled 7 times the dealership has done nothing but give me a run around I went to Dodge forum and have seen many people have filed complaints with the NHTSA the last time it stalled I was driving with my 8 year old I lost all power this is a serious situation if this were to happen on a major highway there is no way you would get out of the way in time I am very frustrated in the results I am getting from Dodge but as I research there are many out there with the same problems and are also getting nowhere something needs to be done I am not wanting a serious injury or death to occur before they take action.

Abs and brake lights on dash on , the speedometer bounces 5 to 10 while in park or at a stop. Dealer has had truck 3 times for the same issues. (10/2004 1/2005 10 2005 and on 12/2005) it was repaired by cleaning or replacing speed sensors and abs sensors but it has returned again.

I own a 2004 Ram 1500. This is truck number 2 of this year and model. I am experiencing the same problems with this vehicle that I was with the last. 1. The rotors and brakes are wearing prematurely. 2. It has stalled on occasion usually when decelerating to make a turn. 3. The transmision will hit a "flat" spot when excelerator is depressed to the floorboard. 4. The radio does not display properly while opperating. It puts out jibberish of numbers and letters. I say this is truck number two because I went to the dealer where I bought the truck and complained of the same excact problems several times on truck one. They were less than helpfull blaming everything other than the truth. I tradded the first truck in and sited my problems with the vehicle. They then stated that it might have been a bad batch. They paid off the first truck and I bought the second one. Now I regret that decision. I should have gone with my instincts and contacted my lawyer. Because it is still the same problems in a different truck. That is not a lemmon its a poorly built truck fetching top dollar for their company, who will do nothing to correct the problem hopping we go away or out of warrenty!! .

Truck was purchased new, problem started about 1000 miles. Truck stalls, usually happens at slower speeds such as when you remove your foot from the gas petal to turn. Idle drops very quickly and the engine stalls. Several times I have come close to hitting someone because the vehicle is hard to stop or turn when you loose power, you also loose the power steering and the brakes. I took it in and they did an update on my computer. Update has not stopped this from happening. Dealership has told me a new update will be out soon, but that was 5 weeks ago, and it still has not happened. In the meantime the vehicle still stalls out when you are moving!.

700 origianl miles - pin connections(1st shop I took it to said it was reading a transmisstion error, but couldn't fix it); 6000 miles-fuel pump and map sensor; 8000 miles-transmission controller. This has left me stranded, and I've had to have it towed twice.

Ram 1500 stallls for unknown reasons. Dealer cannot fix as no failure code was set nor was their any history of the stall in the vehicle computer.
