Equipment Problems of Dodge Ram 1500 - part 2

My 97 ram has about 95% of the dash missing. I have saved pieces of it and parts if the instrument panel is broken off. I can be driving down the road,, hit a bump, and dash pieces will fall on the floor. Dodge needs to fix this.

The engine cooling has a bad design for the exhaust manifolds so 2 bolts on each side broke off in the engine block and now there is large exhaust leaks on both sides of the engine. This is the most common defect I have seen by talking to people and on any forum and am very surprised this isn't a recall already.

While driving, idling or coming to a stop with foot on the brake, the truck will lose power and shut off without warning. It happens constantly so it's not a reliable vehicle to drive to work or anywhere else. I have 2 kids that drive in the vehicle as well as a travel trailer that's pulled and it's unacceptable to happen. I've replaced parts I thought would fix it several times on several different occasions. It's shut off while turning onto a street or into a business so I'm just sitting in the middle of the road with cars driving towards me. It seems like a waiting game before an accident happens. I don't understand why there is no recall on this. There's forums with tons of people that this has happened to and people spend thousands of dollars to troubleshoot with the issue being unfixed. Also, this wasn't one incident. It happens constantly.

2008 Dodge ram that shuts off while driving. It shuts off while in motion with absolutely no warning whatsoever. I have been driving to work and all of a sudden the truck shuts off on the highway. Someone is going to get into a serious accident. This is extremely scary and inconvenient aside from being extremely dangerous.

Heat blend doors are not functioning and stuck on vent. Got heat but not at defroster or floor. As a resident in ohio and it being winter there is no way to defrost windows in inclamate weather. Was using the defroster then tried to swith it to foor as it was no longer neccesary to be using the defroster only to have the system get stuck on the vent position. I belive the problem to be the mode 1 door is broken as it is, as well as the other4 doors in the heater box all made of plastic and accuator motors that have too much torque. These doors should be made out of steel and breakage would not occure and Dodge should recall the vehickles to replace the defective parts at no cost to the vehicle owners. This could lead to death under the right conditions.

Sunroof explode today 6/12/2019 while driving on the highway.

Dodge is aware of this issue. They have updated the part and there are many customer paid repairs. The control box for the heating and a/c system is defective and breaks at the blend door. When this happens, the blend door no longer works and it disables the defroster and a/c. On cool or cold days, the windshield can suddenly fog up and there is no way to clear the view as air does not blow in that direction. On hot days, the system can not push air out enough to keep the driver from excessive heat. The part number is 68004226ac. This part has been supersession chain of about 4 other numbers as Dodge corrected design flaws over the years. I would also note that because this involved a/c and heating, many people do not notify NHTSA of the concern, but it is very well documented and known. It is a very common problem that causes driving issues without being reported.

Driveshaft fell off while driving.

You shouldn't be able to pull the gear shifter from park to reverse without your foot being on the break. Plus the emergency break does not work as well.

The front windshield seals on the sides are starting to come off. Worried that I can not drive on highways or interstate fearing that my windshield will fly off. Manor safety hazard.

I'm worried that the air bag on passenger side is defective as the strangest noise is coming from behind the dash like a rubber band is tightening and then clicking on and off. Doesn't happen all the time. I've also had my truck in for the steering before and it has never been right. Now the hood will not shut right. It's always been a lemon. I fight to keep it on the road. It doesn't even have 36,000 miles on it. I'm wondering what recalls I've missed so I'm checking. Thank you.

The engine stalls and cuts off without any warning. I've had it at 4 different auto repair shops including 3 weeks at landmark Dodge and no one can determine what is going on with it. I've had the fuel pump replaced and cylinders replaced. It's crazy andd very frustrating that Dodge can't fix their own product.

There was a clicking noise behind the dash of my truck. Took it in to get it looked at and it was the actuator behind my hvac that needed to be replaced. After some research I found there was a recall the k17 that had been done that was suppose to fix this issue apparently. After talking with the dealership and making calls to ram they told me that it wouldn't be fixed for free due to the fact the k17 wasn't an actual recall and just a customer satisfaction letter. They quoted me at $1500 due to the fact the dash had to be removed to get to this actuator and suggested I replace all of them if I was going to have this fixed. I feel like this is wrong and they should fix it again. At this point I don't know what to do since the manufacturer told me it wouldn't be covered.

Steering tie inner and outter rods, stabilizing bar and ball joints, recalled on exact same model but year 2008. Would not cover, cost us 1800. 00 to repair last year. Today, gas tank strap rusted and gas tank dropped out, again recalled for same make and model 2008 to present, ours is 2007. Cost to repair 354. 90 plus $75 tow. I can provide bills if necessary. Dodge should pay for these obvious manufacturing errors. Below is most recent of these recalls that miss our's by 1 year. A fire marshall happened to notice gas tank hanging minutes before getting on freeway. First, happened as left house and could not steer truck. Just lucky neither were on a freeway.

Filler port replacement for 2006 Dodge 1500 not being recalled although 2007/2008 were (please see recall number x49 and x53). Vehicle stalled on low idle and during turns. My Dodge truck stalled while making turn in a busy intersection and almost create an accident. . After researching the web, I found out that it's a common problem and some models are being recalled per x49 and x53.

I have contacted the local dealer a number of times regarding NHTSA recall number17v-821. They state that there is still no fix for model year 2013 ram trucks. This is a significant safety issue.

On June 9,2018 at approximately 10:20am I entered and parked in my driveway. The vehicle's shifter was placed into park and the engine was shut off. I exited my now parked vehicle and went inside at 10:21. Prior to exiting the vehicle the vehicle slightly rocks and the and the parking gear engages indicating the vehicle is in park. Moments later, 6 minutes at 10:27am June 9, 2017 the vehicle rolls backwards from a stationary position and struck the brick mailbox at the end of the driveway causing unrepairable damage to the mailbox. The vehicle sustained damage to the tailgate bumper and undercarriage. The neighbor across the street was outside during the incident and witnessed the event and notified me. The home security camera captured the above described of events. After notifying fiat Chrysler automobiles I learned of a safety recall NHTSA recall # 17v-821 the brake transmission shift interlock. This safety recall may result in the following: the transmission may be shifted of the park position without a key in the ignition or a brake pedal application. This increases the potential for an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in a vehicle crash or injury without prior warning. This is what exactly happened. The fiat Chrysler automobiles investigations stated they were sorry and not responsible. This is absolutely absurd. ( the videos are in mp3 format and I can email them but not attach them to this form).

A few years ago, while driving down a rural road, I saw a tire rolling behind my truck. I stopped to remove it from the road and it turned out to be my spare tire. . The cross brace that is connected to the support cable rusted and folded to allow the tire to drop free. I replaced the cross brace and added heavy duty straps to be a backup support so as to assure this incident would not happen again. Last month my friend's son was injured due to an accident involving what appears to be a pick-up truck spare tire lost on a state highway. The tire size and a rusted cross brace led the responding police officer to conclude that it came from a pick-up truck. Perhaps, pick up truck manufacturers should inspect and install a secondary/back up safety strap?.

The fcm and pdc are extremely bad on the 2002 Dodge. They corrode causing your brake lights, blinkers, headlights and emergency flasher not to work. Dodge should have been mandated to recall and replace both parts on every truck. The corrosion is do to the poor design of the pdc "fuse box" with holes in the bottom allowing water and moisture to enter the pdc and start to corrode. This in turn causing the fcm " front control module" to short out. This is a severe danger to the truck owner as well as other motorists and pedestrians on the road. This is a very serious matter and needs to be looked in to and fixed. I have personally experience this and have almost been hit several times by motorists behind me do to the fact my taillights quit working and my blinkers did as well. I have replaced my fcm and pdc 4 times already and each one shorts out after a year. That's $600-$1200 each time. Dodge is responsible for this problem.

On 03/02/2018 on or about 3:15pm I was driving my pickup. I was traveling at about 40mph when a heard a loud bang from under my truck my rear wheels then locked up and I start skidding out of control. Once stoped I got out of my truck and saw where the drive shaft had snapped away from the rear differential. I called aaa and was stuck for more than three hours, because the drive shaft was hanging and resting on the ground and the wheels had locked up. Two roll back tow trucks was sent out at different times to my location, but was unable to tow me because of the wheels being lock. So finally after a three hour wait a tow truck with a wheel lift was send out. This truck with the rear wheels locking up is very unsafe and I was fearful that I was almost killed today.

On 1/27/2018 my dash board shattered while I was attempting to wipe clean it with moist towel. I bought this vehicle used from Dodge dealership in June 1998 with 45120 miles. At present it has only 83000 approx. The vehicle at the time was stationary. I have the photos, unfortunately I do not know how to upload it.

I called the dealership to schedule my recall repair. They told me I did not have any active recalls on my vehicle. After an unpleasant back and forth I was finally able to get a manager or "advisor" on the phone. The advisor determined that I did in fact have an active recall. This error was extremely unprofessional, unacceptable and could have endangered my life and the lives of anyone in my vehicle as the safety risk of the recall is "the loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability during a crash may increase the risk of injury or death. " (NHTSA recall number17v-302). While this instance is the most egregious from a safety perspective, this is not the first time ourisman jcd of alexandra, va has been reckless or negligent with my vehicle and I would like to file a formal complaint. Errors like this could lead to myself or someone else getting seriously injured or worse.
