general problems of the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact also stated that the vehicle would not reverse whenever the pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with the transmission needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 232,575.

While I was driving 60 miles an hour down 29 south, the vehicle just shut off, no power steering, no abs brakes, after it came to a complete stop, put it in park, I turned the ignition off, then turned the ignition on and it started up an drove.

Vehicle switched from drive into neutral while driving. This has happened twice.

(kh missing dealer info) tl the contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle independently shifted into four-low, which caused the vehicle to lose functionality of various electrical systems. In addition, the failure caused the brakes to fail. The failure occurred twice. The independent mechanic was notified of the failure however, the failure could not be replicated. The manufacturer was notified of the issue however no further assistance was offered due the vehicle not being included in any recalls. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The VIN was not provided.

Vehicle shut off while driving causing loss of steering and braking. It gave code for bank 2 knock sensor and oil viscosity wrong. It would not start. Noticed smell from under passenger side. Found insulated harnessing in passenger side had caught fire possible due to short to chassis. Wiring was all in oem state, found no standoffs present to keep harness off chassis on horizontal run, standiffs are present in vertical run by oil filter. Replaced section of harness and documented with pictures. This is a hazard to all Dodge owners, flame in very close proximity to oil filter. I have documented all with photos and request compensation for my work to repair.

Vehicle currently has 60,000 miles on it. Already had to replace the entire front suspension. Transmission has a clunk and lunge after stopping and before taking off. All services maintained and fluids are new and clean, at appropriate levels. Dealers believe it to be a software issue.

Takata recall having many issues with 2007 Ram 1500 4x4 quad cab. Transmission isnt acting right. Something wrong with driver front wheel assembly, can not pump more than a few cents of fuel at a time when fueling. And just recently I could not get it over 30 miles an hour. Engine did not rev seemed as if not getting fuel.

While driving on highway going 55 mph or above, the rear wheels lock up. There is a campaigne for the same year make and model of this truck campaigne number 06v341000. Ive spoken with Chrysler on the phone and they told me even though my truck is having the exact problem of this campaigne it does not qualify to be part of it because it was manufactured in canada. They told me I would have to take it to the dealership and pay for diagnosis and repair. Ive talked to my transmission repairman and he says it doesn't matter what country the transmission was made in it's still the exact same transmission as the ones having problems with this campaigne. What happens when my wheels lock up and someone gets killed? they need to open this campaign for the canada trucks also.

Three sets of rotors and brakes in two years, 4wd auto light flashing and works intermittently(just started plus electrical noise in dash and heat stops blowing. Sounds like it's going to start on fire. I have to get to work so I have to drive it. (I have five kids a crabby wife and a granddaughter to feed), tie rod on drivers side went bad. So I had everything replaced. I've sunk allot of $$ into it and can't afford another penny. I'm concerned of all the complaints saying the computer goes bad causing the actuator to go bad as well. I hope it lasts long enough. Perhaps you should just start a go fund me page to Chrysler owners lol. It's a shame because it's a beautiful truck.

I purchased my vehicle 7 days ago. I have discovered a dangerous issue that only presents itself immediately after refueling. At low speeds in, turning, or while maneuvering through traffic the truck will chug and then die. Leaving my vehicle without power steering and little braking ability. It happened twice after fueling Friday, and then again three times after fueling today. Two of the three times I was in heavy traffic and was almost in a collision by unsuspecting drivers behind me. The third time I was turning onto a sharp on ramp to merge into traffic. Thankfully it died at the bottom of the ramp and not at the top where I would have been in traffic. And thankfully my wife wasn't driving, because without power steering her and my two daughters would have likely straightened out the on ramp and found themselves at the bottom of a steep bank. If this would happen while crossing a busy intersection a collision would be highly likely with fatalities for sure. The problem lasts for about the fist ten to fifteen miles of driving, and dies at lower speeds 0-25 mph. I have read about NHTSA investigations into other Chrysler vehicles presenting the same issues, and where the warranties have been extended on the fuel tanks to resolve the issue. These warranties must be extended to the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 as well in order to resolve this issue before someone is caught in traffic and killed.

I have never been notified NHTSA recall id 14v-795-broken springs in clutch assembly. Never notified of NHTSA recall id 13v-528-faulty left tie rod assembly. The left side does make a clunking sound. I was just notified (late) of NHTSA recall id 15v-313- faulty air bags. It's been a month, I was informed they had no parts and I had to wait until notified again when parts are available. My son and his children ride in my truck with such a great hazard and I'm told to wait until they have parts? I cannot afford to wait nor can I afford to buy another vehicle while I own this one. I work for a non-profit company and have limited resources. What about the recalls I was never notified of? I would like fca to buy my vehicle back.

Driving, and just shut down would not start again, see thr recall on manual transmission,.

Having problems with getting fuel to tank, transmission not shifting correct, constantly going through brakes and tires on from driver side.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while in reverse, the vehicle was hesitant to respond. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.

While running down the road at 65mph the truck slips into reverse, making the back tires bark and then it goes back into gear. This scary and dangerous someone easily run into the rear. Please investigate this problem before someone gets killed.

After getting a brake job I drove truck on freeway when the back wheels locked up causing severe bouncing in the back end. The truck was returned to the repair shop but locked up a couple other times on way back. They believed that they had overtightened the parking brake causing the lock up. They adjusted brake and I again took truck out onto freeway and had it lock up again a couple times. I returned the truck to the repair shop again. They then believed that there was a leak in a rear seal that was causing rear brake pads to get wet and expand, causing them to swell and lock up. They made further repairs and I drove the truck as normal for about two months when the rear end locked up on me again. Each time it locked up it was while driving at higher freeway speeds. Once pulled over to shoulder the rear end would free up and then drive like normal. The last time it happened was in March while on vacation. It has not happened since, however, I am careful to drive at slower speeds on freeway. I recently heard of the investigation into this problem in 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 pickups and believed my truck may have the same issue. The repair facility that I was using at the time is s & k muffler, 1317 n. Main, royal oak, mi 48067, (248) 548-9225.

Front end vibrates when in four wheel drive and accelerating fast. Dodge dealership states its normal on truck (basically it wasn't built right but Dodge doesn't care). Showed me another 07 Ram 1500 did the same thing.

While driving at various speeds, the truck tries to engage 4wd lo. At low speeds it has engaged to 4wd lo. At higher speeds it has engaged 4wd lock and has shifted to neutral. Dealerships have replaced the actuator, said it was the tipm, and said it was an ac relay pressure switch. The problem still happens as of 12/24/14. Has been to 5 diff. Dodge dealerships. This is an intermittent problem and may not happen for 6 months. 4wd lo light flashes and serv 4wd light comes on. Different service codes come up when dealerships look at it. I have been the only owner of this truck.

Driving down road, loud bang in back of truck, started running funny and weird actions when giving gas, braking, etc. . . Felt mechanical, not engine problems. Lifted rear tires off ground, put in drive and could hear the loud clank, clank in rear end. Opened the cover and found large pieces of metal in bottom/magnet. Had to get new gears. If I would have been going fast or tried to drive a distance it could have been dangerous.
