Service writer says all the lugs nuts are swollen and need to be replace.

My daughter got about 300 feet from the house and said the "brakes felt funny" so she decided to turn around at the corner. Well, she simply turned the steering wheel and the passenger side front wheel broke clean off at the hub. I thank god she was going less than 5mph. Her route that day would have put her on the highway and if this had happened then. . . . . . I can't even think about it. The repair shop took pictures and said they'd provide whatever info I needed. Well, what was needed for Chrysler to recall this a long time ago. I understand the truck has some miles on it but I was shocked to go online and see how many people have experienced the exact same problem. If anybody has one of these vehicles, they should immediately have the hubs checked. . . . Especially on the front passenger side as that seems to be the main issue from what I've read.

I was driving 55 mph on a 70 mph highway and my driver side front tire had a blowout I was towing a full trailer and had a hard time keeping the truck under control. I got the truck pulled over and changed the tire and upon inspection the valve stem had corroded and came apart, upon further inspection the rear passenger stem is also corroded and only half is remaining! I hate thinking what might have happened if both blew out or I was driving the speed limit with the kids in the vehicle. This is unacceptable!! my truck only has 17,800 miles on it. I am leary to drive it to the dealer! I feel this is a very dangerous issue and don't understand why there has not been a recall. It is quite expensive to replace all 4 valve stems and I think all owners with this issue should be compensated!.

Wheel bearing assembly came apart while driving under normal conditions. While driving and turning a curve, tire and part of the wheel assembly broke off away from the vehicle.

My ball joints, tie rods, steering box, all that has to do with those areas have serious issues and Dodge needs to fox them for free put them under the recall dept so they can be. Steering wheel very loose tons of play very dangerous.

Tpms valve stem failure. Had two high speed blowouts within one month. Highway speed, 65 mph. Severe corrosion was found on valve stem. Total cost to repair tires and sensors,$1000. 00.

09/01/2017 traveling east bound on hwy 12 in san joaquin county at 11:30 pm while driving at 55 mph in between 2 jersey walls I turned left and hit the brakes hard to avoid a broken down vehicle. (note broken down vehicle had no flashers, flairs or any other warning) while applying the brakes the pedal went to the floor. I started bouncing back and forth off the walls. Air bags deployed, I was airborne at one point & actually thought I was going to die and when I came to a stop I was facing the wrong direction on the hwy. . I started my vehicle to move over to the side of the road and it wouldn't move. I proceeded to walk around the vehicle and noticed the right rear wheel was missing. I believe when my brake pedal went to the floor that's when I lost the wheel. Chp called tow truck and said solo non injury accident no report needed I didn't realize and now it's been brought to my attention that the axle shaft broke on a weld and looks like there were air bubbles in the steel. I don't know if you have had any other issues with axle shafts, but I would like to file a claim. I believe the wreck was much worse due to the axle shaft breaking. Truck is totaled with a twisted frame.

I recently had a investigator inspect my vehicle that broke the right rear axle. Chrysler got back to me and claimed the break was not from there recall. Chrysler avoided my whole complaint of defective material. I was not relying on recalls but the material is not right. I had a couple of professional welders look at the axle and was informed that the break was on a weld, which should have been the strongest point and that the material looks porous. I have already filed a claim on this matter, which totaled my truck due to the axle breaking.

While driving there was an extremely loud grinding noise coming from the rear end. I went to an auto shop and after assessing the issue, it was determined that the pinion was bad and there was a chunk of metal broke off in the rear differential. Repairs cost over 1600$.

Driving down the highway and drive shaft came off making me lose control of my truck before stopping on side of road bough this vehicle almost a year ago never recieved anything about a recall.

4/23/2017 rear passenger side wheel and hub assembly fell off. Caused damage to vehicle. Luckily it happened while turning in a parking lot. I've seen a lot of online postings and pictures of failures and accidents due to this product deficiency. Please advise. . . Thank you for your time. . .

Valve stem nut cracked and came off resulting in flat tire, thankfully in garage, not on the road. Discovered nuts on two other tires were also cracked. (fourth valve stem apparently had been replaced prior to my purchasing the vehicle. ).

2005 Dodge Ram 1500 truck 4x2 quad, was in motion at posted highway speed, with minimal wind present. As an eyewitness & owner of the vehicle, the driver suddenly lost control of the vehicle, rolling the truck 4 -5 times before landing on its top (upside down). Damage throughout was severe and extensive. No airbags deployed and both occupants were wearing their safety belts. Front passenger head rest ripped away from seat and was found about 100 yards away from accident scene, stuck in a bush. Right rear tire (passenger side), snapped off and broke away from the rear axel. Tire was found more than 100 yards away from the totaled vehicle & tire was not blown out. Concerns about 2 safety recalls on this vehicle is the reason for submitting complaint: recall involving a problem/defect with the air bag deployment, and recall concerning a rear axel pi�on nut coming loose while in motion & causing rear wheel to completely break away from vehicle. Defect could suddenly cause driver to lose complete control, causing vehicle to crash and/or violently rollover. This vehicle was serviced for both recalls, twice. However, in this rollover crash that occurred, the rear wheel with brake system still attached, completely snapped off the rear axel. Also, the insurance company did an estimate to repair vehicle, but did not include or mention a repair charge for the right rear wheel or the rear axel. The tail gate was also ripped off of the truck and was found about 75 yards away from the totaled vehicle. No fatalities resulted from this horrific crash, but my son who was the passenger, did suffer serious and permanent injuries, which include a head injury (tbi), multiple fractures to his ctl-spine, injured right foot, leg and hip, and abrasions and deep scrapes throughout his body. The driver, my sons girlfriend, suffered scrapes and bruising, but no serious injury.

I have reported this issue several times now, I took my vehicle to dealership for replacement of pinion nut on driveshaft to prevent the driveshaft from seperating from the rear end of the truck. My vehicle continues to lock up, rear wheels will lock up when vehicle in put in reverse or in drive, this issue is related to the driveshaft pinion (seperation) and could cause a catastrophic collision endangering my family and any other vehichle in close vicinity of mine while driving. I am afraid to drive my truck due to this issue, I have also considered what will happen when my truck is catapulted from this issue, hoping that my family will be able to file a class action lawsuit against Chrysler/Dodge for ignoring mine complaints and refusing to fix the problem, once I am killed in an accident from this recall issue. I am very upset that I am not getting any help from Dodge for this issue. I know I'm just the little one who bought your product, and care none about me and my family, however, you can and will be sued if I am in an accident due to this recall issue, (my rear axle locking up therefore locking up my rear wheels). Everytime I try to move my vehicle, I hear a loud "boom" in the rear of the vehicle and my rear wheels lock up and vehicle won't move. I will hear a loud "boom" in the rear end of the truck while driving. I am very afraid to drive the truck due to this recall issue, and due to the fact that my wheels continously seize up. This has happened at least 20 times in the past month, thank god I have not yet been catapulted, I fear though that it will happen very soon.

Was driving on paved road at 15 mph and right front tire blow for no reason nothing in road this is the third good year wrangler sr-a that has blow across the tire treads for no reason why are they still being sold with out a recall very dangerous p275/60r20.

I was driving my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck last Sunday (2/5/17) on a smooth open road surface, when suddenly and without warning, the back two tires seized up while going 55mph. I nearly lost control of the vehicle, which bounced and skidded and then came to an abrupt halt in the middle of the lane I'd been driving in. Fortunately, no other vehicles were around and no one was injured. In 2013, Dodge issued a safety recall for the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck after an NHTSA investigation found that the pinion nut can loosen, causing the rear axle to seize and the drive shaft to detach. This is exactly the situation I suffered over the weekend, however Dodge customer service tells me that my vehicle was not included in the recall, and they're refusing to take responsibility for the repair. I asked several times for an explanation as to why my vehicle was excluded from the recall, and no one was able to provide me with an answer except to say that the damage to my truck was completely "unrelated" to the recall. Our family is now down to one vehicle, my husband has not been able to go to work this week for lack of transportation, and the repairs will cost in excess of $3,000, which I can't afford.

Thank fully nothing has happened as of yet. However all four tpms valve stem retaining nuts that were used on my model are cracked and getting worse over time. I saw that some people have had rapid decompression of their tire pressure due to cracked retaining nuts. These were reports on the complaints section here. I was inflating one of my tires and the whole vavle stem cracked off and I had to replace one of them already. I brought it up with my mechanic and he said "that's just what aluminum valve stems do" im afraid that eventually they will fail at high speed and just want to put a complaint in. A part like this should not just be expected to "do" something like that when it is a known issue.

The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. While making a right turn at 5 mph, a loud grinding noise emitted from the vehicle. The driver pulled over and discovered that the rear passenger wheel fractured and caused the vehicle to collapse without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Rims on truck rusted out under the chrome covers to the point that one came apart while driving. You can't see the rusted till you pry and tear the rim apart.

Two tire valve stems have failed causing sudden loss of tire inflation. First failure, June 5, 2016 driver side rear tire occurred on interstate highway (70mph). Tire was damaged beyond repair before vehicle stopped. Second failure, sept 26, 2016 passenger side rear tire occurred on state highway (55mph). Tire has not been reviewed for internal damage. Front driver side tire shows crack in valve stem retaining nut. Crack runs straight from tire to top of retaining nut. Crack appearance looks as though the retaining nut is a stamped part with a seam. Photos: 1) sept 26 failure showing valve stem parts completely missing. 2) unfailed, but cracked retaining nut (dark line is crack) taking truck to tire shop for replacement of all valve stems. Will ask for all existing parts to be returned. Note first failure required changing tire within 4 feet of heavy vehicle traffic moving at 70 mph speed limit. Second failure required changing tire on dark roadway during rain storm. Unlike typical tire punctures with slow pressure loss, I had no ability to re-inflate and move to safer location for tire changing.
