general problems of the 2012 Dodge Ram 1500

On my way home. Going through in town (slow)traffic all of sudden I notice I had no power steering & no brakes, no please pull out , I noticed if I keep my rpm about 1500, I would get a little power steering & brakes back!, 4 miles to get home , I drove home slowly what happened was I lost my serpentine belt tensioner!!! . My main purpose, for my truck is to toe my fifth wheel RV!!, I live in the north west of us, like! in the mountains!! terrified that it won’t happen again!????.

Driver warning light came for airbag, yes it could be if deployed, no dealer has confirmed (but looked up recall # 15v459000), called molar said no recall on my vehicle…. , no one else looked at vehicles book says to immediately take to dealer, yes warning light on follow book info and it appeared 9/8/24.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact received a notification for NHTSA campaign id numbers: 14v635000 (engine and engine cooling, fuel system, diesel) and 13v527000 (steering) and stated that the parts needed were unavailable to repair the vehicle. The dealer was unable to inform when the parts would become available. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The VIN was not available. Djr.

While traveling down road the vehicle just shut off losing steering and braking was able to put in neutral and and get started after several tries of starting and it would shut right back off before it would start and stay running, it has done this numerous times sometimes when first starting vehicle sometimes right after starting and driving off, it has did this several times pulling out of my driveway onto busy highway almost resulting is an accident. It happened to my wife a couple of times the first time she could not get it to start and stay running to get it out of the roadway and had to put the emergency flashers on and leave it setting across the south bound lane of the highway to come back inside to get me to try to get it out of the road. After that incident she was afraid to drive it,took to dealership 02/09/15 got back today 02/10/15 they had to replace ignition switch module at a cost of $286. 75 this was a serious safety issue and needs to be looked into and there should be a recall issued for this problem before there is a serious accident resulting in serious injury or a fatality. There was a recall issued for the same problem on the Dodge caravan's and Dodge journey's with the same type win (wireless ignition node) ignition switch.

The week of March 9th of this year, we took the truck in for transmission problem and wheel alignment to the local dealer: frontier Dodge Chrysler Jeep 5801 spur 327 lubbock, TX 79424 the transmission was repaired. The service advisor told us that they will only fix the alignment after they receive the recall part# n49. Due to them having to realign it again after they repair n49. The steering wheel’s position is off. The logo is tilted to the right. With that said, its now December and we have not received any calls from the dealer. They have not contacted us with any updates. We called in June and the service desk and were told that they didn’t have our part yet. That was said even before we gave them our name. How did they know who they were talking to? after we identified the truck, they said that the part isn’t in yet. The only reason that we are contacting you is due to the poor customer service that we received at the local Dodge dealer. And we understand that the recalls need to be done. The only problem is that its not getting don’t in a timely matter. The 2nd recall, with compartment fire, sounds like it could be a disaster. I don’t even feel comfortable driving the truck especially having my family in it. I would really like a call or some sort of response to the above situation.

My wife was in a wreck yesterday she hit a truck in the rear end and airbags did not deploy causing her facial injuries also a later surgery.

While driving down the road the engine suddenly dies. All power steering, brakes, etc are gone. I have to coast to a stop and restart the vehicle. This has happened at least 6 times since purchasing the vehicle in August of 2012. One day it happened several times in succession. The most recent incident took place on June 5, 2014. I have taken it to the dealership and they will not do anything as they can not recreate the issue while it is in the shop. I am very concerned as this is the same issue that is happening with the current huge gm recall involving faulty ignition switches . I pull a travel trailer with this vehicle and this is a very dangerous issue to have happening. Up until now it has not happened while towing the trailer but I am extremely concerned for my safety.

I purchase a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. I have been noticing a problem with a vibration and a rubbing sound when the vehicle is under 40 mph. I have taken back to the dealer 2 or 3 times and they first said the tire on the passenger side was cuping and separating and was not covered under warranty. I took the vehicle to a goodyear dealer (the tires are goodyear). They didn't find any problem with the tires and rotate the tires. All four tires are worn in middle tread. So, I know something is not right. I took the vehicle back. The service manager said that they couldn't find anything wrong with the truck. He did say that because it had a hemi th that's what some of the trucks did and that there was one complain with the same problem and that person traded the truck in. Now I know that that is not true about the hemi's. . . I don't feel safe in these vehicle and the store manager will not return my calls. I have paid a lot for this truck and don't feel like im receiving the proper customer care. I don't feel comfortable driving this vehicle but it's my only transportation to and from work. I had to call the Dodge customer sevice dept to have them call and talk to them for them to make another appointment to check the truck again because they would not return my calls.
