I was driving down the road and the lsd rear differential of my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 completely locked up and the drive line separated from the rear differential. The shop that fixed it said that a retaining clip must have come loose and destroyed the entire rear differential. Good thing I was only going about 25 mph in a residential neighborhood and not 75mph on the freeway, or the outcome could have been life threatening.
The volume of air coming from my defroster is inadequate to keep the windshield clear from fog and frost. I have read several on line articles about this problem and it seems quite a few people are having the same issue. I live in California and could only imagine how someone living in a colder climate is dealing with this problem. This definitely can cause an unsafe condition by hampering your vision while driving.
For some reason my truck just stalls out when making a right hand turn or left hand turn or if you slow below 5 mph and try to turn the engine just shuts down and Dodge acts like its just me. I feel this is a accident waiting to happen lets take care of the issue before someone dies. I paid 35,000 dollars for this truck and it shouldn't be a lemon even if the tranny has been rebuilt 3 times already. But there is something going on and Dodge needs to fix it at there cost not ours.
When I slow down, and specifically turn the wheel in either direction, my Dodge will randomly stall. The radio will stay on and the only way I know the truck has stalleld is because I am not going anywhere. Once I put it in neutral it starts right up and takes off. This is extrememely dangerous and has almost caused accidents. Took it to my local Dodge dealership and they have no clue what it could be as they were "unable to duplicate" the problem.
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 truck, and have had an issue that started as just a starting problem, it would take a few tries to start the truck; and no dealer or private mechanic could tell me what was the problem, even though there was an engine light on. The problem recently got more severe, and dangerous, I was driving to work and after finally starting and driving for a few miles, the engine just turned off; right in the middle of the road, no brakes, no engine, no steering. . . . The key was turned in the on position and the air and radio was still working but the engine was off; upon searching for a solution to this problem online, I came upon a link that the NHTSA was looking into the matter, because this problem seems to be fairly widespread based on an internet search, so I thought I would send this in to see if there was any new info, or if there could be a solution to this dangerous issue. Thanks.
My 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 slt truck has around 52,000 miles on it as of now. I am starting to experince turn signal problems. When I turn my turn signal on for the left the right comes on and when I turn my signal on for the right nothing comes on. This has happen to me twice so far. I belive this is a safety issue that needs to be fixed by the dealer.
While driving in city rush hour traffic, I experienced sudden unintended acceleration (wide open throttle) after taking my foot off the throttle pedal to slow down for a turn. The throttle remained stuck in full acceleration mode until I crashed into a traffic light pole. . Read more...
2005 Dodge Ram 1500 developed a problem with the sensor in the driver's seat belt. The consumer was in the process of mounting a radio, and was bolting it down to the floor on the transmission hump in the front of the front seat. The next day, consumer drove the vehicle and the air bag light illuminated. The problem was that the sensor was in the front driver's seat belt. The consumer had inadvertently drove a sheet metal screw through the wire running to the driver's seat.
