I own a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 extended cab. I bought the vehical new. For several years the dash has been cracking and the plastic air conditioning vents are falling apart. I have made no repairs and it needs fixing. Also the rear end is roaring probably from a bearing going bad. Other than this problem, it has been a good truck.

Driving down road and felt and heard a loud bang under truck . Emergency brake and abs lites came on and speedometer stopped working. Immediatly went to the garage to have it checked. Mechanic told me that the speed senser was broken and gear oil was leaking from the senser. When he removed the speed senser he noticed that the under side was distroyed. He then removed the differential cover and found that the retaining clips had come out and destroyed the differential unit. The differential unit and bearings were replaced with new Dodge parts.

The problem is. . . The rear axle pinion bearing on your truck (VIN: xxxxxxx) may not receive adequate lubrication under certain driving conditions. This lack of lubrication condition could cause the pinion bearing to seize and cause a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash without warning. I have contacted three different servicing dealers, and have been told three different stories. The one common factor they have is that parts are not available, and backorders weren't being processed. I feel like I'm getting the run-around. . . The manufacturer left me a message, after my numerous compliants, stating that parts were being expedited for me, but they are not returning my phone calls now. They don't seem to be concerned over this "safety recall" since I can't get my truck fixed. My truck's axle has not failed as of yet. I can't seem to get the recall done though to prevent a failure. If Dodge is going to drag this out, they need to cover the cost of rental vehicles for affected customers until they can get the recall done. I'm concerned for the safety of my family while in this truck.

While driving at highway speed, the rear differential pinion gear broke which locked up the rear differential and the truck skidded out of control to a dead stop. After the truck stopped due to the differential locking up, it would not move and had to drug onto a flatbed and taken to the dealership for repair. It took 23 days for the dealership to obtain the necessary parts and make the repairs to the vehicle. They replaced the complete rear differential. Parts numbers: #68034651-aa / shaft drive #68002298-ac / axle rear #68003055-ab / lubricant #4318060-ab / lubricant description on work order: replaced the whole diff.

While driving at 75 mph on interstate I noticed a whine which I assumed was from the grooved pavement. I then noticed it would come and go by slightly pressing on the accelerator. After a few minutes it started to get louder. I pulled to the shoulder of the highway at which point there was a loud bang and the rear wheels completely locked up. It was towed to the nearest dealer. I am waiting for the complete rear axle and driveshaft to be replaced. The rear pinion gear nut had unscrewed and the differential gears had self destructed and driveshaft fell off. There may also be damage to the transmission. It seems Dodge trucks have a history of this happening. I was on the way to tow a travel trailer. This could have happened at high speeds towing a trailer in heavy holiday traffic and people could have been injured or killed.

After crossing a railroad track a clicking noise became evident from rear of 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. I checked u joints then went to wheel bearings, they seemed slightly loose so I began changing. After pulling differential cover I found curved chunks of metal in bottom of differential housing. I took out 4 bolts and caps that hold differential in, I found major wear in aluminium housing right where bolts screw in on passenger side. I compared to drivers side of differential and found a half moon shaped cup that appears to be a dipper to collect oil it just slides in and out and the cup on the passengers side must have slid out and ground on the housing until it came out. I feel this could case a major accident as eventually the whole rear end could come out or let axles come out while driving.

I bought new 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 trx 4x4 model quad cab from day one I get noise and vibration coming from rear of truck and is noticably worse when windows are down it has been in the dealers shop over 4 times and still has problem bought new in November 2009.

Driving at approximately 20 miles per hour across railroad tracks and heard a loud noise and my truck stopped. I had to have it towed and the garage said that the entire rear end is completely torn to shreds.

Bought a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 with 19,000 miles by 36,000 miles the abs light comes on thought it was a sensor dirty or bad, but took it to a garage and they said there was metal shavings on the sensor. None the less need to say is that the rear end is slowly going out. I put my faith in Dodge never again! I will go and buy a Ford.

I was driving down the road and switched into 4wd after a few minutes the vehicles lights started to flicker- the car slipped out of 4wd and wouldn't re-engage. There was an apparent short in the electrical system- the windshield wiper/washers wouldn't function afterward either. The dealer fixed the issue but the very day I got it back the very same thing happened again. I am told it is a technical problem with the vehicle and Chrysler is searching for a fix but that I am not supposed to turn the switch back to the 4wd position or I'll short out the system again.

Rear axle locked up broke output shaft of transfer case, twisted the pinion gear in half while driving, in town this could have caused a wreck, and possible death.

During a tire rotation the mechanic noticed a defect with the rack and pinion system which was leaking and would need to be replaced. He also noticed the tire rods were defective which is allowing unnecessary movement of the tires. Lastly the front differential is leaking as well. This vehicle was purchased approximately 2 years ago used with 41,000 miles and currently has 62,955. This vehicle is operated under normal conditions.

1)slight burning smell. 2)right rear wheel fell off, almost leading to a severe crash. Axle sheared at bearing hub. 3)Dodge replaced axle shaft, bearings, and housing under warranty, took parts back.

Informed by dealer service advisor that rear axle needs to have clutches replaced. Failure to have this service completed may result in catastrophic failure of rear end axle shafts which may cause axle shafts to fall out of housing resulting in possible injury and repairs amounting to several thousand dollars. This condition was reported to me while my vehicle was in for an oil change. My vehicle only has 32,000 miles on it but dealer said that this was a problem affecting my vehicle type. I feel that Dodge should repair this problem immediately as it is appears that this is a defective serious condition.

2009 Dodge Ram 1500 st has a severe vibration at 60 mph. Service tech at dealer thinks there is a bind in driveline. Truck will clunk at times when stopped at red light. Chrysler says it is normal. I am afraid drive shaft may break causing damage, or accident.

For the past couple weeks, my wife claimed to hear a strange sound from '04 Ram 1500 quad cab. Yesterday, while traveling on the turnpike with my children, she started to smell something burning, then heard a strange noise, finally some vibrations. She promptly began to pull off of the road, at this point the rear-end locked up, snapped the drive shaft, and a fire broke out beneath the truck. I'm not religious, but thank god the drive shaft broke from the rear end and not the transmission. I think we all know what could have happened then.

: the contact stated when hitched up to a trailer, there was a vibration from the drive shaft during acceleration. The vehicle was serviced by an authorized service dealer, who replaced the drive shaft hanger. This helped reduce the vibration, but became worse with continued driving. The vehicle was returned a second time, where a more heavy duty replacement hanger was installed. The vibration continued during acceleration at all speeds, although it was not noticed when the accelerator pedal was not depressed. The manufacturer was not notified.

Vibration at 60mph. Had 2 tires replaced did not help. Dealer put 4 new tires and rims on same problem. Problem is worse when towing trailer. 5 trips to dealer and they say it is normal to have vibration. Vibration is in seat and floorboard all tires ballanced properly they claim this is normal. Have found that this only seems to be a problem with 06 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4s.

The driver seat belt became unbuckled various times. I have replace the buckle side of it on my own. Also the rear end is making noise right after warranty expired, now I'm supposed to replace it onmy own.

While traveling at a high rate of speed on the highway, I wanted try out my Dodge hemi power. A loud tapping noise emerged from under hood. I was so startled I slammed on the brakes and went off the road into a ditch flipping the vehicle over many times. The problem was a bad lifter + valve.

Mileage: 43,520 dealer performing service: vals summit Dodge I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. Approximately 2 months ago I had to have both u-joints replaced due to squeaking. Then today, I had to have the drive shaft replaced. The service manager informed me that the shaft was twisted and could not provide a reason for the twisting other than to explain that the drive shaft is made from a very light aluminum tube and this happens. There was no dings or damage. He also informed me that this is a very common problem with this truck and that he replaces 4-5 drive shafts per week. I was charged $108 as part of the deductible for the replacement for the drive shaft. This appears to be an obvious issue with the quality of the component. I spoke with Chrysler customer service who could not assist me other than to tell me to send everything to the customer assistance center and they would see what they can do.

Vibration in rear of vehicle.

Transmission goes into high gear too soon causing too much downshifting when I need to speed up. Goes into overdrive at 45 mph. Very sluggish when I need to speed up unless I give it a lot of gas pedal and then it drops out of overdrive and skips 4th gear and goes down to 3rd gear.

I have all the copes ,I just want my truck to be fix . Auto plaza is giving me the runing around,can you help me or give me some advice thank you. No safety defect.
