After getting a recall (r25/nhtsa 15v-313) for my 2004 dodge ram 1500 air bag, i called efird chrysley of florence, sc for an appointment. Was told the parts weren't available but would be insix weeks on july 21, 2015 so i made an appointment for both my ram & 2006 charger. My appointment was at 7:30 am & i dropped off the truck for the recall work. At about 11:30 i hadn't received a call back so i called & was told they had to order the parts. Each time i have to get a ride to drop off & pick up the truck. When i complained the service guy shrugged it off as if it was no big deal & there was nothing he could do. I said, "[xxx], were you even going to call me?". He accused me of cussing at him. What's up with chrysler? is this their way to piss off everyone so they won't come back to get the work done? (there i go, cussing again)information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I spoke to micki at newnan peachtree dodge on 2/23/15 and 5/14/15 pertaining to recall p78/nhtsa 14v-770 air bag notice.my first contact on 2/23, i was told chrysler has not released the parts.my second contact on 5/14, i was told the parts were shipped and the harness for the device was too short.i was told to continue to follow up with them on parts status.they have made no progress in three months and i'm following the protocol set out in the advisory.i cannot allow my son to drive this vehicle with this issue.i'm glad to see that this is up for a public hearing.
After receiving the recent safety recall notice regarding air bags, i took my 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab to southern dodge chrysler jeep ram located in norfolk, va.my vehicle was inspected, and i was informed by a representative that the air bags would need to be replaced.the rep. Also stated that the required parts would be ordered, but due to a backlog/shortage, it would be approximately two weeks (minimum) until the required parts arrived.i inquired about having the air bags deactivated as a safety precaution since they meet the criteria to be replaced.the representative stated it would not be possible to deactivate the air bags because doing so would violate federal regulations.i find it highly unacceptable that i now have to drive my vehicle, for the next two weeks (minimum), with a known safety defect.

"takata recall"we traveled to louisiana to bury our family member on july 13, 2016. When we returned home we had a recall notice waiting for us (passenger airbag inflator). We were confused because we had already had both driver and passenger airbags worked on from recalls. We were told this is different, this is a recall on a recall. Basically, this is a interim notice and the dealership does not know when they will received a resolution to repair the airbag. This is our other main vehicle for transportation. Our other vehicle is our 2009 scion xb which is on recall for the same problem. We are disgusted. We can not get any deadlines, we can not sit in the passenger seat and this problems is taking too long. We need some answers and we need them, now. We are senior citizens, we have our medical issues and we definitely do not need this kind of stress and inconvenience.
I have received two separate recalls for the air bags in my vehicle. In january i took it to texan dodge in humble, tx. For replacement of the air bags and was told that no parts are available at that time. They promised to call back when parts available. We have checked back several time and still no parts. We received a second recall on may 29, 2015 for the air bags again. We contacted texan dodge in humble, tx and still no parts available. I am beginning to think that the recalls are not worth the paper they are written on as there is little recourse for me as an owner. I guess if the bags blow up and kill me, my family can sue chrysler dodge for my death.

I am writing to complain about the recall process in general. I received a recall on a vehicle we purchased for our son. He drives it everyday. The notice indicated to call on feb 23. So far i have had 4 dealers tell me they don't even have parts to fix the issue and that we could be looking at 6-8 weeks. Today i have 1 tell me that there are 2 recalls on this vehicle. 1 for each airbag. Does this process seem broken when something as crucial to driver and passenger safety takes 6-8 weeks to correct. Really? let's just roll the dice i guess and hope nothing happens between now and the time we are able to get this addressed. What's more troubling is i am told that the recall we received for the passenger airbag does have parts on the way, albeit 6-8 weeks away, the passenger side airbag parts are not even in the works. Are you kidding me.

Received the second notice in june and went to the dealership 6/25/2015 and was told they would contact me in july and correct both recalls at the same time. Received third notice today and still haven't heard from my dealership. Looks like chrysler is better at sending recall notices than actually correcting problems????? what would you say?
There has not been an incident as of july 17, 2015. I received the airbag recall r25/nhtsa 15v-313 in earlyjune 2015.i have not received a follow up recall notice.i contacted shelor motor mile dodge in christiansburg virginia 24073 on july 17, 2015. They told me they would open a ticket and order the parts.they also told me it could take a month or two for the parts to arrive. I feel that this is not a reasonable time due to the nature of the recall.i would like to expidite this process or be provided a rental car until this can be repaired.

Takata recall, i received two separated recalls for my vehicle the dealer i called for service has the driver airbag inflator but does not have a clue when the passenger airbag inflator will be available. I received the p78/nhtsa 14v770 over a year ago and it stated that i should contact a dealer for service on or after february 23, 2015. It is now february 18, 2016 and neither the dealer nor chrysler can give me any idea when the parts will be available. I am waiting for both parts to be available before i have any repairs completed on my vehicle
I received the recall notice for the airbags and went to the dealer for repairs. (west hills chrysler/dodge/jeep 900 west hills blvd. Bremerton, wa 98312 and was told it will take up to 6 months to get the parts for the repair. Why do i have to wait 6 months for a safety recall?? i'm driving an unsafe vehicle and your liability is increasing with each passing day.

15v-313 we have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 that has all the issues i've read on here for complaints. The wind shield wipers only work on the highest setting and when turned off stop wherever on the windshield when you turn the switch to shut them off, the engine seems to be leaking oil some place, have had to replace both front wheel hub assembelies, rear end has foam in the fluid, im guessing from reading this that my rear axel is about to fly out from underneath my teuck while driving by the way it sounds and slips, and now a recall on air bags. I fear everytime i drive behind the wheel of my truck and by the sounds of it after reading all these complaints that there is good reason to fear for my life. How many people have to die before something is done. These vehicles should not be made available to drive if there this dangerous. Sounds like chrysler should be buying these trucks back so all there customers dont have to risk there lives driving down the road in a poor designed vehicle the produced. Not sure why there allowed to keep them on the streets being so dangerous to drive. Our truck has every problem that people have complained about on here but yet only has one recall when looked up by vin. Why is that?

Oncoming vehicle lost control came across 4 lanes to hit front of truck. Dodge is totaled but air bags did not deploy.i contacted dodge to have them check them out and was told, first a special task force would come check the airbags and we would be compensated,then later was told due to the age and mileage of my truck they wouldn't but i could take it to a dodge dealership and see if they would run the test at my expense.dodge didn't seem to care why air bags didn't go off since the truck is 10 years old.

I recieved the safety recall notice sometime in the month of june...having waited what seemed to be more than a reasonable amount of time for the unavailable parts to come in...i decided to just stop by the dealership on hwy 41 in henderson. July 7th 2014. Sometime between 1pm and 2pm. The gentleman expressed to me everything was on back order, that it was not likely to occur and he hasnt seen a truck needing this recal. He seemed unconcerned about my issue. He didnt ask my name. My number or acknowledge my letter. He said he was sure my number was in his data base and he would call when parts came in. This is our family vehicle that we drive on the regular!! having not purchased the vehicle 2 years ago if that from my brother in law...i doubt i am in his system!

The driver sustained bruised ribs from hitting the steering wheel.the truck had quite a bit of frontal damage and took several weeks to repair.iassumed the airbags would've been checked during the time the repairs were done at a local dodge dealership.

My mom and i were heading home from church when this man in a pickup ran the stop light and totaled my pickup, my mom had to be taken to the hospital becauseof a head injury and other injuries. The police came out and no one was ticketed. Anyway i got ahold of chrysler and they sent me a letter in the mail stating that since it was not a head on collision they were not responsible. They said that since in was from the side, that it did not matter if the air bag deployed or not. My pickup passenger side air bag did not deploy this is why my 82 year mom was seriously hurt!my question is why are air bags put in vehicles or required if they are not going to work? i don't have the money or the means to hire a lawyer, and i'm without a vehicle and have been for quite awhile. The big 3 auto makers should be held responsible for all of the air bag problems that are going on even if they do not deploy! any help from you folks would be appreciated. P.s. I had to guess on my actual mileage but i know it was over 65,000. I apologize for bothering you folks but i need help.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I received a recall notice from dick poe dodge. I made an appointment and when i got there they said they don't have the parts because dodge only send 2 or 3 of the parts. They told me to keep calling. So i called the 1-800 number to dodge and they told me to call dick poe to get on a waiting list. I called dick poe and they said they don't do the waiting list because of what dodge did to them last time. They didn't receive enough parts for the people on the list. So here am driving around in an unsafe truck and i can't get help from the factory or the dealer. I don't know if this is place to file a complaint where accident hasn't happened,but i need help.

Takata recall- immediately after receiving my recall notice, i called my local ram dealer. I was told that they were all out of parts, but i would be placed on a waitlist to have the airbag inflator replaced. I received this mailing close to a year ago, and still, no action has been taken to remedy the situation. If this recall were not something that affects safety, i would not be having a problem with the delay, but this has to do with passenger safety, and i am extremely frustrated that there still are not enough parts to have this recall fixed.

"takata recall"for driver airbag inflator have received three recall notices over the last eighteen months and have visited egolf moters in brevard, ncthree times.each time they say they can get only two parts per week.

They say the process could take 10 years, while some lawyers say 7 years for some.shouldn't they be changing the oldest first?

Takata inflatores. I have been trying to schedule an appointment at gulf coast chrysler jeep to have recall p78 and r25 p81 taken care of for more than a year. I have even called 1-877-223-7634 twice and still nothing. The lady who handles the service department told me last year that my name was on page 4 of her file. When i called the above number, that rep called her. Again they stated they only had one of the items i needed. However, about a month ago a friend of mine here drove up there on a monday and he was told to bring his identical truck in the next day and his items were fixed!! i'm tired of waiting, i'm tired of being told that they don't have all the parts needed. I was even told that the service department could not order any further inventory until they exhausted what was on hand. I would like to arrange to get these items fixed and soon. If not, then i will start going to the attorney generals office, the bbb and my lawyer. I received another notice in the mail today. How long is considered "within a reasonable time?"

My son was traveling 65 mph on an interstate when he was hit from behind on the passenger side bumper. This caused him to hit a concrete barrier on the drivers front bumper and then he bounced off of the barrier and hit another concrete barrier on the passenger side front bumper. Neither frontal airbags deployed. Dodge said that they sent a 3rd party investigator to look at the truck after it had been decided from the insurance company to be totaled. Dodge said that there was nothing wrong with the airbags and that they did not deploy because "the airbags never deploy when a vehicle is struck from the rear first". My son sustained shoulder and neck injuries and bruising of the brain. He was going approximately 65 mph when he hit the concrete barrier and dodge says that "due to the deceleration from the rear impact the airbags were not supposed to deploy". We requested a copy of the engineers report and were turned down.
Airbag sensor light stayed on while driving.consumer was concerned that the airbag will not deploy upon impact. Dealer was not able to resolve the problem.

Tipm/fcm failure, intermittent turn signals/hazard lights. Turn on left turn signal right signal comes on, other times no signals at all. Problem occures wether in park, driving, with engine off. Extremely common issue that has not been addressed with replacements costing over $400.
Truck was purchased new, problem started about 1000 miles. Truck stalls, usually happens at slower speeds such as when you remove your foot from the gas petal to turn. Idle drops very quickly and the engine stalls. Several times i have come close to hitting someone because the vehicle is hard to stop or turn when you loose power, you also loose the power steering and the brakes. I took it in and they did an update on my computer. Update has not stopped this from happening. Dealership has told me a new update will be out soon, but that was 5 weeks ago, and it still has not happened. In the meantime the vehicle still stalls out when you are moving!

I have a 2004 dodge 1/2t 1500 series trucki have had it at the shop 3 time in the last 2 weeks. You can be driving along and all of a sudden it slows down to 5-10 miles per hour for no reason. The shop said it was because of the crank in the computer, the 2nd time it was because of the air conditioner(which it is winter so i don't have it on) and the last time it has been 4 days since they have had the vehicle and still don't know what has caused the problem. So i am still without a vehicle.. I would hate to be driving down the interstate at 55-65 if this thing decides to shut down. Because it is all of a sudden.thank you for you time. Fyi.

My husband bought our 2004 dodge ram 1500 (hemi) in jan 2004 and has about 130,000 miles now.we had problems with the breaks and rotors just like every one else on here in march of 2005 when driving down the highway with cruise on and the truck lost all power.the rpm wentto zero but the truck was stillrunning . To get the rpm to come back on we would have to turn off the truck and restart the truck.every time the electrical light would come on,all while in traffic at 65-70 mph. This went on from march 2005- jan 2007. We have been to the dealer many times and they couldn'tget any codes to come up.then in january 07 we got off the highway to stop at a store and had to make a left turn into the store.the truck made a loud pop noise and died.when my husband started the truck back up it was sputtering and wouldn't stay running without keeping the truck above 2000 rpms.i took the truck to my dad who is a robertson tire repair tech.he couldn't get any codes to come up.then about 45 min after letting the truck sit he ran the codes again and got about fifteen codes.we replaced all the sensors and it didn't help so went to the dealer again.they couldn't get any codes and couldn't tell us what was wrong.why it wouldn't stay running. So i just thought i would file my complaint and let everyone know what happens after its done stalling what happens next. I will not buy another dodge.

The contact was provided case number: 30972693 by the investigator. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The vehicle was destroyed.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled, the cruise control failed, and the speedometer failed to function properly. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 77,000.
I own a 2004 ram 1500. This is truck number 2 of this year and model. I am experiencing the same problems with this vehicle that i was with the last. 1. The rotors and brakes are wearing prematurely. 2. It has stalled on occasion usually when decelerating to make a turn. 3. The transmision will hit a "flat" spot when excelerator is depressed to the floorboard. 4. The radio does not display properly while opperating. It puts out jibberish of numbers and letters. I say this is truck number two because i went to the dealer where i bought the truck and complained of the same excact problems several times on truck one. They were less than helpfull blaming everything other than the truth. I tradded the first truck in and sited my problems with the vehicle. They then stated that it might have been a bad batch. They paid off the first truck and i bought the second one. Now i regret that decision. I should have gone with my instincts and contacted my lawyer. Because it is still the same problems in a different truck. That is not a lemmon its a poorly built truck fetching top dollar for their company, who will do nothing to correct the problem hopping we go away or out of warrenty!!.
I have 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 liter, it has had a problem with electrical system the wiper will start and stop while it is running and the head lights will flash on when the truck is shut off it has been in the shop more than 7 time and have replace numerous parts.
My 2004 dodge ram driver side stop working my keys got lock inside the only way to open is by using the remote and climb through one of the other doors which now it is impossible since none of my doors open anymore specially the driver door that it is supposed to open either with the original key or the remote which i can't do either, this is very frustrating because i am an older woman and can't be climbing through my window to do perform this. Please help
My vehicles running lights stopped working and i was unable to be seen by other drivers behind me in a snow stormbecause my fuse box just corroded out and stopped working causing the parking lamps relay to fault. Now my vehicle has no running lights working anymoreand dodge did not recall this.
2004 dodge ram 1500 i've been complaining since the truck had 90000 miles on it about the headlights going out and not turning back on. I have been told it's the headlight module and i replaced it with a new aftermarket one but the trucks still doing the same thing. I was driving and the headlights went out and i couldn't see and hit a deer at 20mph on a back road . Police were not called because the damage was only the bumper . But if this doesn't get fixed someone could get hurt as without light you can't see to drive and the lights won't come back on. This is just like the ford recall i received for my car...
I found out that i don't have a turn signal for the trailer tow on the left side it was later determined that the problem is in the fuse box. Now i can't tow a trailer until the problem is fixed. This could've caused a wreck.i'm not the only person who has this problem.
The dash modual that controls the interior lights, dash lights, and interior signals no longer works.the guages work and the signals work but there are no lights. This poses a safety issue because you cannot see your speed, oil, temp, and battery guages. Im not sure when iy went bad, i got into my truck one night and none of my interior lights worked.
Severe rust and corrosion on body and suspension parts. Started at around 10 years of age. Support for bed to frame shows severe corrosion making hauling unsafe. Water is able to enter the cab through corroded rocker panels causing mold. Also, electrical system malfunction in throttle body can cause no response from accelerator at intermittent times.
Dt: consume rowneda 2004 dodge 1500 ram.sometimes it will stall whileconsumer was driving.once it caused the consumer to bump a brick wall.which caused a slight dent in the bumper.it has a vibration that seemed to be coming from the transmission.sometimes the vehicle will not start.the rear driver side door would not unlock.when the dealer ran a diagnostic test they said that it was not showing the codes for these problems.after five tries the dealer was able to get the door lock fixed.as for the other problems the dealer put a new computer in the vehicle. This fixed the problem for about a week, and then the problems came back.the manufacturer was the one that said to put the new computer in.
Remote unlock stopped working on drivers side door and can't unlock with key.the door will open from the inside and the passenger side is working ok.have seen hundreds of this same complaint online.
I purchased this 2004 dodge on january 5th 2015. I was to return on january 7th to have different tires & rims installed. On the way i stopped and filled the gas tank. Afterwards every stop sign i came to the vehicle stalled out. It started right back up but continued to stall at every stop sign. The mechanic at redding truck & auto diagnosed that the crank sensor was bad and replaced it at no charge. It ran fine until i filled the gas tank again and started having the same problems with it stalling out. So now if i fill the tank it will stall out until i drive it for several miles or until i run some of the gas out of the tank. I was told not to fill the tank which is not a fix for this problem.
Turn signal, winshield wipers, and speed control has a mind of their own. Half the time not working the rest of the time the when signaling to turn right the right dont work then when signaling left the right side blinks instead of the left. The winshield wipers just randomly swipe sometimes when not even cranked and keys not even in the ignition.
Horn sounding for no apparent reason....checked online and found that numerous sites carry information about this issue. Everything from shrunken rubber horn pad to contact inside the horn. Vehicle has never been in frontal collision and bags never deployed.removed fuse and forgot about it and should have removed relay as other circuits were still open and killed a good closed cell battery. So fuse out, horns disconnected and still looking for relay. Dodge claims no knowledge of issue....bull jive...............
Today i went to the dodge dealership so they could diagnose an electrical problem i was having in my truck.they told me that part # 56045112ae, 56051949ad need to be replaced.which are the ignition switch and the ignition wire harness. Problems i was having were the power windows would not go up or down without the steering wheel all the way in the up position.the motor blowers for my a/c and heat would sometimes not work.and my air bag light was on in the cluster panel.they told me that the wires were burnt, but could not tell me the source of the problem.i told them that there must be completely too much current going through those wires to cause a problem like that and they agreed.i was then told that because of the wires being in that condition the airbag could possibly go off at any time and/or cause a fire.why is there not a recall on this issue.when doing some research on the web this is an on going problem with dodge trucks and jeeps.also part number 56051949ad has been discontinued so how do they expect to fix these problems.my truck also has the stalling problem when coming to a stop and accelerating.
Abs and brake lights on dash on , the speedometer bounces 5 to 10 while in park or at a stop. Dealer has had truck 3 times for the same issues.(10/2004 1/2005 10 2005 and on 12/2005) it was repaired by cleaning or replacing speed sensors and abs sensors but it has returned again.
Check engine lite keeps coming on. Have taken to dealer 4 different times. Dealer says issue is with o2 sensors. Second time in all sensors and computer replaced. Still is occurring. Dealer said they where bringing in field service tech on 3rd time. Last issue occurred 30 march 05. Dealer is unable to diagnois case of issue.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that all of the lights on the instrument panel illuminated as the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure but advised replacing the speed sensor, which appeared to be defective. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but offered no further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 88,000.
I bought an 04 ram 1500 5.7 hemi that had around 80k miles on it when i bought it in oct 2010. It was awesome the first and a half i had it, only minor repairs i.e battery, idler pulley, ignition switch. I did regular maintenance on it as well as oil changes. In late march 2012 i went to put gas in my truck and it would not let me put more than 10 or 15 cents in before it would "back fill" i was trying to figure out what the problem could be with that, then in early april 2012 i was driving home after running some errands, the truck had run great all day just like normal, but about 8 miles from house i hear this "thunk" and i have no power and i had this awful shaking and rattling noise. There were not even any warning lights telling we that there was something wrong, i called someone to tow it home that night. I did thankfully have another car to drive. In the months since i have been slowly tearing the engine apart with my dad, this week we finally pulled the heads and discovered that my # 6 piston was completely disintegrated and had punched a hole in my block! my original thought was that this was just a random fluke and it was just mine, but after reading on some dodge forums i see that it was not just mine!this is ridiculous for an engine that has no more miles than this and had been properly maintained. My parents have a 1999 ford f150 that has almost 300k on it and has not been maintained nearly as well... As my dad puts it "it has been run hard and put up wet" this engine has run like a champ! it even still has the original battery in it! there are many more reports of this happening to this engine both in the durango with that year hemi as well as the ram on this forum http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1dd4b2/270.
Abs module failed.water leaking from hood caused abs connector to corrode up resulting in failure of theinstrumentation panel (all gauges) including windshield wipers and overhead information center. No anti lock brakes.
Speedometer moves in 5 mph increments when it's not stuck; it also shows vehicle speeds of 5 - 10 mph when stopped and in park.dealer says the entire instrument cluster needs replaced at a cost of approximately $800.00.
When stationary and no key in the ignition:the electronic automatic door locks disjunction.sometimes, when the vehicle is notintentionally locked, the doors will lock on their own without a person pressing the lock button on the door or the key fob.at other times, when the door is locked then after returning to the vehicle at a later time, the doors will be unlocked.this happens on a fairly regular basis.this could be a real problem for theft of items in the vehicle.on occasion, when driving the vehicle in motion or stopped with the engine running, with the headlights on and the lights on the dash panel all lit the truck randomly has all the lights turn-off and blink a few times and then, normally, come back on within seconds.this has happened during the evening hours in heavy traffic.this is a huge safety issue that could cause an accident. There is some sort of issue with the electrical system.
The anti-lock brake controller in my 2004 dodge ram pickup truck caught fire and burned. The wiring harness completely melted through wires and all, and the brake control mechanism itself melted and burned. The part was inspected by chrysler but in their determination since i am the second owner of the vehicle they are not responsible for any repairs. The service manager at my local chrysler dealer has told me that he has seen this problem before, and i have been told by independent service tech's that this is definitely a manufacturers defect. That the braking controller is drawing more amperage than it should be. Chrysler has told me that there is nothing more they will do in this situation.
The truck stalls out when stopping, turning, or just sitting at light. Have replaced egr, throttle body, pcv, and had pcm updated; but truck is still stalling. Dealer can't find any trouble codes and can't figure out what is causing the problem. Dealer has put in calls to chrysler star, but no responses yet. From looking on line, i can see that there are many other owners with the same issue. I just know that this is a safety issue, especially when the truck stalls in the middle of a turn in traffic. I can't believe that there is not a fix or a recall on this issue. Yes, this is a slow speed issue; but it is still dangerous. Please help!
Had just filled gas tank fifteen minutes earlier. Driving on mountain rd. Slowed for curve and engine quit, almost ran into logging truck headon. This has happened several times after fillup. Once while driving 65 mph on freeway. Slowed to let another vehicle in front of me and engine quite as soon as i touched the brakes. When i fill gas tank it usually die at first stop. Does this until i have used up some of the gas. Have asked dealer who sold the truck to me to look into this several times before i get killed.no response. I no longer drive that road just after fill up. Have checked the internet and found that several 1500 ram owners have had the same problem. It will be like the ignition switch problem. People will have to get killed to get it fixed.
Faulty instrument cluster fails, shorts out causing door locks to constantly unlock cycle kill battery & electrical failure causing engine to die. I have read countless stories of others with the same problem in 2004-2005 dodge ram pickups. Dealership charges $1000 dollars to fix & admits it is a manufacturing defect but refuses to help. Fiat chrysler automobiles customer service also refuses to help.
2004 dodge ram 1500 power distribution center or front control module for no reason is bad. The dealership said it just corroded.
2004 dodge ram 1500 hemi. Fuse box gets water inside and corrodes the circuit board resulting in loss of parking lights, dash lights, more.2. The rear ends go out prematurely. 3. Air bags don't go off in accident 45 mph4. Front rotors warp.45,000 miles.
Customer complaint- erratic idling and no power when throttle fully pressed. Etc (electronic throttle control) light flashing. Vehicle not operable. Advise customer to 'cycle' ignition to reset computer. Replace computer with upgrade (under warranty). Customer complaint - recurrance of previous problem (identical circumstances) unable to identify/isolate/reproduce in shop. Advise customer if recurrance to cycle ignition to reset computer. No suggested repair.
The headlamp on the driver's side went out while driving home. I replaced it with a new one.it would not work.i got a second bulb and tried to replace the light again.still would not work.i took the truck to three different repair shops and none of them could fix it.i was told it might be the fuse box.
I was driving at freeway speed, around 70 mph. Suddenly, i heard a noise from the rear of the truck and i noticed my speedometer went to zero. I was still moving at the same speed. The fault code identified a failure in the speed sensor in the rear differential. I was out of warranty, so i pulled the differential cover off and found what was left of the speed sensor in the bottom of the housing. I also found pieces of what was later identified as c clips from my lsd clutch assembly. The inductive portion of the speed sensor protrudes into the differential housing and was hit by the flying pieces of c clips. The carrier bearing also had a grove cut into it by these clips as they worked their way out. I am told that if i had not caught this, it would have resulted in carrier bearing failure and lock up of my rear axle. I removed all of the metal c clip pieces and removed the remaining c clips that had not yet fallen out. I don't know if there is any connection, but my left rear leaf spring cracked in half on the lower main leaf. I had to replace the spring assembly at my cost. I now have a permanent whine at low speeds and currently have 125,000 miles on my truck. I am certainly glad that i found these metal pieces when i did! there appears to be many complaints regarding this failure in my truck model, ranging from model years 2003 through 2006 ram 1500 equipped with the 5.7 hemi. At this time, chrysler has not acknowledged the patterned failures in these rear differentials.
Airbags recall when to have it checki and the dash board broke apart like peanut brittle. Theay said they could not replace the dash board.the consumer stated while performing the airbag recall the dashboard broke apart. The dealer would not repair the dashboard. Also the cargo light caught fire and damaged the headliner.
A malfunction in the under hood engine compartment caused a fire which destroyed the engine, front of the vehicle and severely damaged the interior. The vehicle was parked on my driveway and had not been started nor driven in over 24 hours up to the time the incident occurred.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled while coming to a stop and while idling.the dealership determined the seals in the electrical system of the transmission (wiring harness) leaked allowing water to get into the electrical system.the wiring to the wiring harness was corroded.the dealership cleaned several connectors and replaced a ground wire.the dealership informed the contact that if cleaning the connectors did not correct the problem, the entire wiring harness would have to be replaced.
My parking and tail lights stopped working. , found out this is due to the design flaw of the engine fuse box as the connectors are exposed to the weather elements , thus shorted out the circuit board that sends the a negative signal to the park lamp relay at 86 ,. The cost of therepair is 500.00. Dodge is fully aware of this issue as the replacement now comes with a splash guard plate to help protect the connectors. If you google 2004 dodge ram parking light issue , you will see that a lot of us have this very same problem, they should honor this recall as it can be very dangerous to drive at night with out the taillights,.
Tail lights and park lamps on my 2004 dodge ram keeping failing do to i defect in the power distribution center/fuse box almost caused to get hit by a tractor trailer at night cant even order part because i've been told it's on backorder and dealer keeps denying fault or chrysler wont replace unit this is happening on thousands of 2004 2005 and 2006 dodgerams.
Left rear brake light was going out intermittently, the "lamp out" light was illuminating on and off as if the bulb was going between working and not working. Changed the light bulb with the recommended 3057 bulb but it didn't fix the problem. Changed the bulb holder but still didn't fix the issues. Checked the fuse but it was good. Finally went under the rear to check if the wiring harness was loose and saw the wires for the rear lamp was pinched against the frame of the vehicle and the wire for the brake lamp was cut. There was really no give to the wiring harness; it was pulled extremely tight. Vehicle has never had any issues and nothing electrical has ever been touched before. The right tail lamp is working fine but the harness for that side was not checked. All wiring is original from factory. Vehicle was bought new from a dodge dealership and we have been the only owners. We feel this is a safety concern if the brake lamps are not working all the time.
I contacted chrysler and voiced my frustrations at a problem i had been having since november 2009 wherein my truck arbitrarily stalls and misfires.to date, the technicians at rothrock in allentown, pa have not been able to find out what is causing this problem.heads were replacedcylinders were swappedcoils were swappedplugs and wires replacedcomputer checkedwiring harness replaced....still the 1, 3, 5, and 7 cylinders stop working and the truck becomes unsafe. Rothrock has had it for 8 weeks.i am without a truck, they can not figure out what is wrong with it, and i will not take it back while it is in this condition as it is extremely unsafe.it had stalled at least half a dozen times while i was driving it, plus it stalled in my driveway on numerous occasions.needless to say, i was aghast to find the following bulletins that showed this is an ongoing problem that chrysler minimized and closed- nhtsa defect investigation #ea05018engine stall: power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, pcm)**closedno recall issued** this defect investigation is filed under 2 related vehicle components.2004 dodge ram -- analysis of the complaint, field report and warrantydata shows that the majority of stalling incidents in the subjectvehicles appear to be related to the engine calibration concerns thatdaimlerchrysler addressed with service bulletins releasing revised pcmsoftware. Analysis of the complaints and odi's survey of owners ofvehicles that received engine management software updates under tsb#18-013-05 show that these stalling incidents have the followingcharacteristics: - they occur at low speeds, often during parking lotor driveway maneuvers; - they occur during decelerations, such as brakingfor a stop sign or traffic signal; and - the operator is almost alwaysable to immediately restart the vehicle.
My 2004 dodge ram 1500 pick up with a 5.7 liter engine began to stall upon braking and coming to a stop. The engine would lose rpm and die (stall)leaving me with no brakes or steering. It would restart easily but occur again frequently.took the vehicle to a repair shop and after extensive and expensive diagnosis was found to have a failing throttle body and associated electrical failure. A new throttle body was obtained from dodge (different part number from original) and installed. Total cost for the work was approximately $2,500.00. My research shows that this problem is extensive in this model and is dangerous.
The turn signals, wipers, and high beams on my 04 dodge ram 1500 have been giving me issues for the last year. This started out as an intermittent problem and has gotten worse over time. At first it was just the turn signals. When i would signal left the right blinker would come on, or visa versa. Then sometimes it would work fine, and other times it would not come on at all. It's gotten worse over time and now i am at the point where only when i signal left will the right signal come on; nothing else works. My hazard switch at one time would work the left signal, and the left clicker would work the right signal but now that does not work either. At this point my hazard switch and left clicker now only work the right blinker and i have no way to work the left.as for the high beams, sometimes i am un-able to disengage them which is very dangerous for on-coming traffic. At this point i do not risk it and just don't use them, which can be dangerous to myself at some times.the wipers have a mind of their own. Sometimes when i have them on full speed/fast in heavy rain they will all of a sudden reduce to the lowest or middle setting. Sometimes they will just not turn on at all. I almost got into a major accident because of this and now just avoid driving in the rain if at all possible.
My truck stalls as i come to a stop. This happens probably about 4 times a month since the date above. The dealership hasn't been able to find the problem. I have read on forums online that a ton of other people are having the same problem. Some say it has to do with erg valve and it should be recalled. They said they replace the egr valve and the problem is fixed.
Water is leaking into the wheel sensor causing it to short and then the entire cluster in the dash to short.abs and brake light will come on and speedometer start jumping around.happened in november 2006, had it fixed by dealer and now it has happened again.dealership nor dodge will take any responsibility for it.
First it was fuel light coming on then the engine light started coming on. Got that off then the blown light started coming on change all blown fuses and lights but light wouldn't go out and engine light came back on. Paid to fixed after 1 year it started up all over again.
2004 dodge 1500 ram hemi 5.7 quad cab with faulty cruise control.turning on cruise control and off functions normally.selecting "set" on the left hand side of the steering wheel fails to engage cruise control desired speed with cruise control on.this happens 10-15 times out of 75-90 times selected during a period of a month.also, periodically during the 10-15 times a month, cruise control will be engaged with a current speed "set," and while driving the truck slows down and prevents re-engagement of "set" on the left hand controller of the steering wheel while cruise control is still on.changed battery with no effect.throttle body is functioning normally.no blown fuses.seems that temperature extremes of 45 degrees or below and 90 degrees and higher heightens the effects of this deficiency.when turning ignition from off through intermediate to on position (not start) with trip button held in greater than 15 secs, c-code displays 6715 then displays 0000.truck has 66945 miles currently.
700 origianl miles - pin connections(1st shop i took it to said it was reading a transmisstion error, but couldn't fix it); 6000 miles-fuel pump and map sensor; 8000 miles-transmission controller.this has left me stranded, and i've had to have it towed twice.
My truck is a 2004 dodge ram 1500, that only has 77,965 miles. In the last month it has begin shutting off while driving, with the air on. After traveling for about 10 miles a red light flashes on then the check engine light comes on. When i wait for about a couple of minutes and start my truck back up the red light goes off but the check engine light same on until the next time i drive my truck.i looked up the code for this problem and realized that it was a clogged throttle body. I feel this should not be happened on a truck with less than 100,000 miles, especially when my truck has been in two recall in less than a month apart.
About 1 month ago the dash board lights and gauges started to act up so we carried it into the local dealership where we purchased the vehicle.they stated that there was condensation in the fuses.they said it was repaired and charged us about $100.then a few days ago it started to do it again.before we could take it back to be looked at it burst into flames in our driveway at 2 am on 3/2/09.fire dept. States that the fire started under the hood.i've been searching on the internet for an explanation and i've found that there was a recall on 2004 dodge ram's, a short circuit in the generator harness can cause "under the hood fires"!i've contacted the dealership and dodge customer service.they say that my vin # is not included in this recall.it seems like it should...our vehicle was purchased brand new, it had 5 miles on odometer when we left the lot.it had 68000+ miles when it burst into flames.
About 30 percent of the time, my turn signals and flashers do not indicate the signal i want to give. During those times, when i indicate right it doesn't flash at all. If i indicate left, it indicates right. Also if i put on the hazards, it either corrects the problem or it indicates left. This is very frustrating andprovides a big safety incident on the road. I have noticed that i am not the only person that has had this before as it is a very common occurrence on the web. It increases substantially during the fall and winter months and is almost not existent during the summer months. It also affects my wipers that when i have the lights on i can see that my vehicle is acting up because the wipers are at 1 detent less than what i am trying to provide. This makes it so i can't use the fast wiping position.thanks for your help.
Tipm replaced in a 2004 ram 1500.replaced defective totally integrated power module (tipm).fuel pump wouldn't shut off, wipers turning on by themselves, both sides of my tail lights blacked out, no power. Found out the ground to the tail light relay in the tipm failed .had to replace the tipm on 1-20-16 at a dodge dealer.all problems happened when the vehicle was either stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway or turning.i also received a ticket for no tail lights.without tail lights caused by a faulty tipm it created the unsafe condition and caused a safety risk of getting into an accident
Ram 1500 stallls for unknown reasons. Dealer cannot fix as no failure code was set nor was their any history of the stall in the vehicle computer.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While the contact was driving approximately 30 mph, a fire ignited from the instrument panel without warning. Immediately, the engine was turned off; and the contact exited the vehicle. There were no personal injuries. The fire department was called to the scene. A police report was filed of the incident. The vehicle was completely destroyed and towed to the residence. The failure mileage was 57,000. The vin was not available at the time of the complaint.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad. The alternator caught on fire and burned the engine. He contacted the dealer and the manufacturer in reference to recall# 04v385000 (electrical system:alternator/generator/regulator).he was advised that because his vehicle identification number was excluded from the recall, they would not assume any responsibility. He was in the process of having the vehicle repaired. The failure mileage was 68,000.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving at 20 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact heard a buzzing noise. In addition, the horn failed to sound. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v770000 (air bags) and 15v313000 (air bags); however, the parts needed to repair the vehicle were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 101,000.
The consumer stated that horn failed.
Engine shuts off while driving. This happened twice within an hour. I have made an appointment with performance dodge in glendale az to have the problem diagnosed if possible. This may not be able to find the defect unless being driven.
I own and have taken in my dodge ram 1500 several times for stalling.on two seperate ocassions the dealer/service manager said the problem was fixed.on 6/1/05 my truck stalled once again, but this time i was accelerating.i called the service manager and he said,"your truck is one of four that we cannot fix."
Regarding the stalling problem on a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab hemi sport truck. Currently this is the sixth time it has stalled. The latest incident occurred when i rounded the corner to exit the airport parking lot. The vehicle had no power steering or brakes as of the result of stalling and was hard to control. The truck has been to the dealership several timesfor the same problem and even the district service manager for chrysler has looked at it, but cannot duplicate or find any codes.
Like many of the other consumers who have filed complaints about their 2004 ram 1500 5.7l trucks, i too have taken my truck to performance dodge in glendale az to have them fix the stalling problem with my vehicle. The service manager did not know of this type problem happening on this vehicle. After four hours of waiting, they said that they found p2299 brake switch position/apps incompatible, checked brake switch and apps sensor operations, and guess what, all working normally. They then checked mds for tsbs found tech svc bulletin 18-016-05 and performed this service. Drove the vehicle home and guess what, same problem. I will be back at the dealer again to play the game. This is a serious safety hazard and should not be taken lightly. Since this is our main mode of transportation i very concerned for my family's safety.
Sudden loss of power steering and power brakes due to engine stalling.engine stalls while driving.event has occurred six times now.once right after i purchased the vehicle and then again at 7642, 9861, 11487, 11898 and 12,009 miles.i lost control of the vehicle during one event as the power loss occurred while i was turning a sharp corner.i went into the other lane of traffic but due to light traffic at the time this did not result in a crash.the local dealer says that they are aware of this problem but the factory hasn't provided a solution.i feel that it is only a matter of time before people are injured by this defect as the sudden loss of power steering can easily cause loss of control.
While driving in rain my wipers often stop working on high speed which make it difficult to see in a down pour. Also my blower fan for the a/c defroster heater etc. Stops blowing when tilt wheel is moved to some positions. It has proceeded to the point of not blowing at all and sometimes will start blowing when i am not in my truck with the key out of the ignition. I was told by a dealer mechanic that it is a faulty ignition switch and that he has changed several. He said it is caused from the wiring harness hanging to loose and repeated tilting of the steering wheel causes the ignition switch to break and have a bad connection. This is also probably what causes some trucks to stall while driving. These are all very dangerous situations if they occur at certain times.
Hard starting after (running for a time) and sitting for 30 minutes.it takes some time to restart.
Water was getting into the wiring harness, causingspeedometer and odometer to register speed and miles although the vehicle was motionless.
Vehicles electronics begin to go buzurk.speedometer goes up and down, registers miles incorrectly, buzzer will not turn off, windshield wipers will not turn off.taken to dealership and were told the wiring system is getting wet.on two occasions they packed wire with grease to keep wiring from getting wet.this quits working within a month or so.this last visit we were finally told that dodge/chrysler was aware this was a common problem with this model truck, but at this time they have not developed a part to repair and have not recalled.we were told they are unable to repair at this time.
While driving at 55 mph consumer felt thatvehicle started responding sluggishly.after a few miles,consumer noticed fire coming from the driver's side rear wheel. Vehicle was completely consumed by the fire.there were no injuries.police and the fire department responded to the scene.
I have a 2004, dodge 1500 slt ram, hemi sport, with 5422 miles on it, and on feb 21, 2005, i watched as my truck burned to the ground ( literally ), i smelled something like plastic or burnt wire while driving, just prior to discovering my( now ) parked truck, smoldering in my back yard. I went to investigate the smoldering, and open the truck door after not seeing any flame; however, once i opened the door it was as if someone had lite a flame thrower, and pointed it in my direction. The fire consumed the vehicle so rapidly, i am sure i would not have had time to remove a infant from it's car seat, had my son been in the truck. I allowed daimler chrysler to send an engineer named bob whipple out here to my home. He took just a few pictures, jerked on a few wires, then returned to where ever he came from. He promised me a copy of his report; however, when i contacted daimler chrysler, they blew me off with a " hey! it's not our fault", letter, i tried calling them and they stated that they had no other information for me, even though their vehicle obviously failed electrically, and was under full warranty.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.the contact stated that the air conditioner stopped working.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the wiring for the ignition system burned due to extreme heat.the contact is concerned because the failure could cause an underhood fire.she also feels that the vehicle should be included in nhtsa campaign number 04v385000 (electrical system: alternator/generator/regulator).the speed and power train were unknown.the current and failure mileages were 45,000.
Vehicle shut downat low speeds and when making turns, causing the steering and brakes not to operate. Manufacturer was contacted by owner.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge 1500.when the contact activates the left turn signal, the right turn signal activates instead.he has experienced this failure between 4-8 times within the month of june.the current mileage is 39,153 and failure mileage was 39,120.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 with a hemi it has a stalling and idle drop problem. I have almost hit other car due to the engine stalling loss of steering and brakes. I have taken my truck in had the upgrade done stalling was less now only twice but idle drops to 300 rpm and bounces around truck shakes like its going to stall then smoothes out and rpms go back to 1100 or so. Dealer just keeps telling me they are working direct with chrysler corp on this and they will keep in touch. They have yet to call me i call them once a week to see what is going on and get the same story the are working on it...
Dt:the vehicle caught on fire on september 21, 2005.the consumer was driving at65 mph when it caught on fire.the consumer heard a pop sound coming from under the hood area.the engine started making a clanking noise and surging.when the consumer pulled over there was smoke coming from the side of the hood.and when he lifted the hood it burst into flames.the consumer was not injured. A highway patrol report was taken,chp log number 1217. And fire report engine number 74 incident number 390.when the consumer contacted the insurance agency, they found that there was a recall for the wiring harness.this recall said that there was a possibility of engine fire.when he contacted the manufacturer, they told him that there was no recall on this vehicle.
We had an engine fire.took it to the dealership in boerne, tx, where they fixed it, but did not report the incident to chrysler.we worry about this happening again, and are not satisfied with their explanation.we fear we may have a safety problem.chrysler wants us to deal with our insurance co., but they never were involved, except for the rental vehicle while ours was being repaired.
The right lamps are not receiving the proper current, only receiving current while utilizing the park lamp.no brake, hazard or turn lights. ! using the test light i tested every fuse within the power distribution center which indicated in no failures or blown fuses.yet when utilizing the right blinker the relay has a muffled click that wasbarely audible unlike the left blinker where the relay soundednice and strong with or without the trailer tow harnesses being utilized.upon researchi foundthat this was a very common problem with various years of dodge lam?s. Ii believe that this problem that varies in low or high mileage dodge truck?s needs to be addressed by the manufacturerdue to the vast amount of complaints and queries for the same exact problems. I have been told by the dealer that the problem may be theintegrated power module), $ 300.00 just so happens to control everything including most importantly the air bag system.
The dashboard lights do not work. Dealer serviced the vehiclefive times,and they still do not work.the consumer cannot see the speed, mileage and other gauges.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quadcab.on june 2, 2007, the vehicle caught fire after being parked for ten minutes.the vehicle had previously been driven for approximately twenty-five minutes.the fire department inspected the damage and stated that the fire originated from the dashboard.the vehicle was destroyed with the exception of the engine.there was mild property damage, including burned grass and trees.there were no physical injuries or deaths.the contact notified dodge and they offered to inspect the vehicle.the manufacturer issued a reference number because the vin was not associated with any recalls.the manufacturer wanted to seize the vehicle, but the contact's insurance agency advised otherwise due to possible contamination.the manufacturer stated the same thing about the insurance company and that no one will take possession until both parties can inspect the vehicle together in full detail.a police report was filed.the current and failure mileages were 80,000.
2004 dodge 1500 ram hemi 5.7 quad cab with faulty cruise control.turning on cruise control and off functions normally.selecting "set" on the left hand side of the steering wheel fails to engage cruise control desired speed with cruise control on.this happens 10-15 times out of 75-90 times selected during a period of a month.also, periodically during the 10-15 times a month, cruise control will be engaged with a current speed "set," and while driving the truck slows down and prevents re-engagement of "set" on the left hand controller of the steering wheel while cruise control is still on.changed battery with no effect.throttle body is functioning normally.no blown fuses.seems that temperature extremes of 45 degrees or below and 90 degrees and higher heightens the effects of this deficiency.when turning ignition from off through intermediate to on position (not start) with trip button held in greater than 15 secs, c-code displays 6715 then displays 0000.truck has 66945 miles currently.
When coming to a stop or idling in traffic the rpms drop low and the truck shuts off. In the beginning it happened twice spaced about a month apart after the second time i took it to get looked at found nothing wrong. Didnt happen for a while. Now its happening often its been to several places nobody can find anything,no check engine light ,hooked up to the computer nothin. Called dodge directly no answers,went online found tons of complaints like mine all spending thousands replacing various parts with still no solution. My question are there any complaints in your database like mine and what's my course of action...as the last time it happened i stopped to make a turn just as i started in the intersection it shutoff..do i have to get in an accident before dodge will help!
Vehicle stalls after fueling. This is very random and doesn't happen every time i fuel. I have noticed it happens more when i fuel the tank to the top. The vehicle can stall during driving or at a stop that also is random.
The truck stalls out when stopping, turning, or just sitting at light. Have replaced egr, throttle body, pcv, and had pcm updated; but truck is still stalling. Dealer can't find any trouble codes and can't figure out what is causing the problem. Dealer has put in calls to chrysler star, but no responses yet. From looking on line, i can see that there are many other owners with the same issue. I just know that this is a safety issue, especially when the truck stalls in the middle of a turn in traffic. I can't believe that there is not a fix or a recall on this issue. Yes, this is a slow speed issue; but it is still dangerous. Please help!
Engine stalls when driving at low speed and when in idle. This started happening approximately 3 years ago. Check engine has never turned on.
2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7l hemi will stop running while driving.the engine completely shuts off while the vehicle is driving and the steering locks up.i have had several close calls and am currently seeking help in this matter. This is an extremely dangerous problem.i've taken it to three mechanics who have replaced all the oxygen sensors, the mass air flow sensor, throttle body, egr valve, air intake filter and the crank shaft sensor.there seems to be no end to this and everyone is just shooting in the dark.the dealerships do not get a code when they hook up to the vehicle.i am in fear of my safety.i have found several other people on the internet with the same problem.
Engine stalls at all speeds on an interstate while going 75 mph with no control of steering due to lost of power steering or brakes. Sometimes it will restart of sometimes it doesn't right away but after about thirty minutes it will restart. This is also true of parking lots and city streets. With no codes or engine check light to refer to.
I have 2004 dodge ram and several times when usually turning my engine will stall!very dangerous and could have been killed!i see this is a very common problem in these vehicles and as far as i can see it has not been addressed!apparently, it will take a fatal accident to find out what the problem is!
While driving in my neighborhood at 25 mph vehicle lost power and didn't want to take the gas then cut off. Would not restart , engine would rotate but not start. Pumped the accelerator then engine restarted and ran rough with no power . Had vehicle towed to dealership to be check. I was told that the engine was blown . When i check the dash the throttle elec. Light was on.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, she heard a loud thud as the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home where an independent mechanic inspected the vehicle. The mechanic discovered that the retainer of the valve spring failed and caused the piston to penetrate the wall of the cylinder, causing a hole in the side of the engine block where coolant had flown into the oil. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified. The failure and current mileage was 110,000.
The contact owned a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While the vehicle was parked in the driveway for over twenty-four hours, without being started or driven, it caught on fire. The fire department was notified and extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. The contact stated that a special investigator was dispatched from fca to inspect the vehicle. Due to the age of the vehicle and no determination of what caused the fire, the contact was informed that the manufacturer was not responsible for providing additional assistance. The contact was provided case number: 30972693 by the investigator. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The vehicle was destroyed.
I have two issues which i believe are related.the anti rollover valve in the fuel tank is sticking preventing fuel from entering the tank properly and bubbling back up the filler tube.this happens whenever you attempt to put in fuel and has resulted in multiple fuel spills.the second issue is after a fill up the truck may stall 4-5 times while at idle at stop lights or even while rolling resulting in loss of power steering, power brakes and no advanced warning.both issues have multiple occurrences.i repaired my fuel tank by adding an auxiliary anti-rollover valve and plumbing it into the existing evap connections.this after the dealer refused to warranty the tank even though some models have been recalled and this does have a bulletin published.
After refueling the vehicle, it stalls several times when braking, slowing down, or at idle.this always occurs in colder weather months.
While drivng 55 mph the vehicle just died out i had to coast over to the side of the road.the truck lost all power.once i stopped the truck, i put in park and turned off the igninition, i was able to continue driving.the dashboard light showing a symbol of a lightening bolt, after researching i see some comments of it being a wire harness or tranny loose wiring, had truck looked at several times and wires were checked, but the truck still dies out. This has happened 5 times since 2013 always while dring more than 3 hours.i no longer take the truck on long trips, it is a very dangerous problem, i wasthankful i was able to pull over on shoulder evrytime.
My truck over heated because of that my motor broke into many piecesi had it towed to a dodge dealership. I was told that, that doesn't happen often but it most had be a default with my motor...could you please get back in contact with me. Thank you
Vehicle stalls when slowing down for a stop sign, traffic or red light or when turning.
Driving on the road went to stop light truck died when came to complete stop. Started up and then went to stop sign down road and it started to idle down to 250rpms the engine caughtand idle back to about 500rpms. Went to gym next day while backing in to parking spot going idle speed the truck idledlow and died.now it idles about 250rpms and some times truck shakes had licensemechanic change plugs and wires for the hemmimotor and still does it today (04-27-20015). The only difference is thatin park it stays at idle some times about 500rpms but does tend to go to 250rpms.
I just bought this truck with 97,000 miles and it ran great when i took it for a test drive.shortly after my purchase my truck suddenly stalled while i was making a slow turn leaving me without engine power, steering and brakes.the truck started right up and runs like there is nothing wrong with it.normally i wouldn't file a complaint until i looked on the internet and saw a whole lot of people with the exact same problem that nobody seems able to fix.
Vehicle stalls after a gas fill-up. Dealer had filled the vehicle up and it stalled repeatedly for about 10 miles and then was fine. The next time i filled it up it stalled repeatedly again. I returned it to dealer for repair. They replaced the charcoal canisters and purge valve solenoid. After the next fill up it did not stall.however, after the second fill-up it started missing at highway speeds and then stalled on an exit/entry ramp of short curvature and had to be hurriedly restarted while turning at high speed.this is a definite safety issue and should be a recall.social media is rampant with this issue with dodges.not filling the tank with gas is not a solution to this problem as some would suggest. This needs to be rectified!!!
When driving on the highway at 60 to 65 mph thered lightning bolt light on the dash begins to flash, the vehicles engine becomes eradic, sometimes it dies, other times it revs hard and won't change into another gear, all control of the fuel system seems to be lost causing a serious situation at highway speeds. This happens to the engine intermittently, some days you can drive 70 miles with no problems other days it will go crazy as described when the light flashes. When the vehicle dies on the highway, it is very hard to steer it to the side of the road or stop it. The vehicle has been in 5 different repair shops and the fifth being a dodge service center. This dodge service center has had my vehicle for 4 weeks about to enter the fifth week and they cannot figure out the problem. The throttle body with tps sensor has been replaced twice, accelerator pedal position sensor replaced twice, egr valve replaced, pcv valve cleaned and inspected, pcm replaced and re flashed, the battery replaced, alternator replaced,all 4 o2 sensors replaced and the wiring harness and all connectors tested and inspected. The vehicle still is having the same problem and the dealership service department gave up and told me to come and get my truck. I contacted chrysler and got them involved, they're resource technicians have been trying to solve the problem with the service department now for 2 weeks and still no answers and i still have no vehicle. Chrysler case #28169313
Vehicle stalls within 2-4 seconds after coming to a complete stop. This problem first manifested itself in 2010, it occurred once and did not happen again until six months ago, occurring once a month or so. It has now become nearly a daily occurrence this month. There are no other indications such as warning lights, check engine light or trouble codes. The vehicle will usually start right back up but on 01-07-2016 it took almost an hour before it would restart, that was after blocking traffic at a busy intersection for 40 minutes and a 20 minute tow.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure was unable to be replicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
When i was pulling into a parking place the truck stalled. Lost power to the engine. This happened again a couple weeks later as i was sitting at a red light. And today it did it more than it ever has. Three red lights in a row the engine shut off.
I was going 60 miles per hour down the freeway and engine stalled in the middle of the road,completely turned off,had to pull over on the shoulder and put it in park,restart it in order for it to turn on.this has occurred several times now.even when turning or coming to a stop,truck has been doing this more often.checked recalls but nothing,i know there are several complaints like mine.it has even occurred while turning,coming to a stop and driving at low speeds as well.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the temperature gauge began to rise, smoke began to emanate from the hood area, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the head gasket was blown and the engine would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred the same day as it was repaired.the mechanic then replaced the thermostat, water pump, radiator, and fan clutch on subsequent visits but the failure continued to recur. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been further repaired. The failure and current mileage was 257,098.
Driving down the road at about 35 mph and all of a sudden i had no power to my brakes or steering and the engine stopped. I managed to pull over placed it in park and it started right up. All electrical components remained working at the time of the incident. This scenario has happened multiple times and is a major safety issue.on a different occasion i was sitting at stop light and it turned green took my foot off of the brake and pushed the accelerator the and the truck rolled backwards and almost hit the vehicle behind me since there was a slight decline towards the rear of the truck. Again all electrical was fine, but the engine quit.for all scenarios i did not even know the engine stopped besides the brakes and steering had no power. The engine just simply stopped running,
After filling truck, and not topping off, the truckengine will "die" when making a right turn. This has been happening after every fill-up now. I have to put it in neutral then it will restart. This is a dangerous situation but i handle it well. Our dodge caravan did the same same thing in 2016 and dodge replaced the fuel tank, filter canisters. It cured the problem. I just called dodge and they logged my problem but that was it! anyone else having this problem. It does not throw a code by the way! can anyone help? the vehicle was in motion, city streetetc. I have a new engine and the problem was the same afterwords. They found no problem on test drives.
In the fall of last year the check engine light came on in my 2004 dodge ram 1500.the code that came up was misfire in cylinder 8.i took it to a mechanic and they said it was the fuel injector which they replaced.a few days later after getting my truck back the light came on again.this time the code was misfire in cylinder 6.i took it to a very trusted mechanic who stated it was a rocker arm that had come off due to junk in the engine.once it was fixed again the light came on saying misfire in cylinder 8.the mechanic said it was the rocker arm on that cylinder and replaced it.this happened 4 more times in the next month.the mechanic, who is very reputable, believes this is a manufacturing defect that will continue to occur no matter how often it is repaired.he also stated he has seen this in many many dodge trucks and most notably in the 474 engine.it is an engine and safety issue due to loss of throttle which occurs very often when the problem is on going and is definite risk of causing an auto accident.this code is coming up every other day now and i believe it needs to be recalled.
I bought this truck about 2.5 months ago used with 59xxx miles on it.this incident has happened a few times now.the first time i was coming off the freeway approaching a stoplight.as i was slowing down when i hit about 20 mph my truck completely stalled.all power was on after stall, but i had no brakes, no steering, and no engine.luckily im a strong guy and had plenty of room to keep a straight line and very forcefully apply the non powered brakes.it started right back up so i kind of shrugged it off.it happened a few more times since then, same symptoms: slowing down for a turn or a stop.... Engine dies, no steering, no brakes, dead truck, starts right up.however last night christmas day it stalled on me a quarter of the way through a left hand turn at about 15 mph.i couldn't turn the wheel hard enough to finish my turn, i couldn't apply the brakes hard enough to stop in a safe amount of time, i died in the middle of the oncoming traffic lane.i had to quickly apply my emergency brake. Stopping just in time about 1 foot short of driving into a guardrail with a steep embankment on the other side.i am literally scared to drive this truck now, scared for my life and other peoples lives.apparently there seems to be a common problem with these trucks stalling, but no recalls to my knowledge or definitive problem has been diagnosed... Please help!respectfully, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Engine shuts off at low speeds while driving, very hazardous. Notice especially after i fill the gas tank up. When engine shuts off, you loose power steering adn brakes. Help.

A malfunction in the under hood engine compartment caused a fire which destroyed the engine, front of the vehicle and severely damaged the interior. The vehicle was parked on my driveway and had not been started nor driven in over 24 hours up to the time the incident occurred.
As stated in other complaints, the vehicle will stall after slowing down at intersection of driving in heavy traffic.if you ride the brake and gas, you can keep from stalling.this incident started to happen after a smell of gas vapor smell after filling tank.researched stalling and gas smell, was led to other scalp notice for hemi gas tank due to ethanol gas causing the rollover valve in the gas tank to expand and not close.when you fill the tank you get liquid gas in the purge vapor canister and line.this giving you the gas smell upon filling.i have stopped filling the tank past 3/4 and have not had the issue since.kind of disappointed that other hemi models gas tanks were recalled, but not the truck even though it has the same issue.

On multiple occasions, while at low speed (pulling into an intersection from a red light or stop sign), the engine idle drops and the engine stalls. I have to brake with my left foot and keep the engine idle up by pressing on the gas to keep from stalling. I have been almost rear ended several times and do not trust the truck. After reading the complaints and research on the truck, this happens a lot and is dangerous. When i talked to the dealer, they say they are not aware of any problems like this and they would be happy to diagnose the truck (for $125.00) and go from there. From what i have read, it seems they want to exchange parts and charge for the service.
Driving on highway started to hear tapping noise coming from front passenger sideexhaust manifold found twobroken exaust manifold bolts that were making this tapping noise. My truck only has 90,ooo + miles on it has never been off road i'm the originalowner on this truck has never been abused ever, and know this happens please look into this exhaust leaking problem. Why would this happen,i've never experienced this kind of problem before, me and my wife are really concerned about exhaustfumes know driving around town what should we do. A mechanic is trying to charge me over $500.00 for this fixand no guarantee that new bolts are not going to break again.

Constant idle problems with stalling in park and low speeds
As i was driving on the freeway at 70 mph, i heard a loud "smack!" before the engine stalled and i lost power steering and power brakes. Luckily, i'm pretty strong and was able to pull off to the shoulder. The engine would start but not turn over with 4 or 5 attempts. It started on the fifth or sixth try but would not idle. I was finally able to get it to start and on my way to the mechanic, i could tell something was broken in the engine. After inspecting the engine and looking into it, it's been determined that a valve spring broke and sent the valve through the piston and into the cylinder, effectively ceasing the engine while the vehicle traveled at freeway speeds.
While pulling out of a parking lot to proceed on a main road the vehicle died when i attempted to pull out and cross multiple lanes of on coming traffic. I pushed the accelerator and the truck briefly accelerated and then just died. I was able to put it in neutral and restart the engine. I purchased this vehicle with approximately 6500 miles on it and now i have 204000. This is the 4th occasion it has stalled while at low speed for no reason. The latest occasion just occurred on08/11/15 while i was going threw a round about. I entered the round about turning slightly to the right ,half way around coming out of the turn as it was straightening the truck just shut down. In all the occurrences i have been traveling at lower speeds 30 mph or less. 2 almost causing a crash with another vehicle. On the last occurrence i was able to restart the truck while coasting in neutral ,even though the side of the dash that the gear range is burnt out so you cant actually see what gear you are in. All the times it has stalled it has been during summer months hot outside and no precipitation. At times the truck will hit a low rpm while at an idle but will recover. The vehicle has gone years in between stalls first 2 when the truck had less than a 80k, and the last 2 stall outs about a year apart.no codes stored in the computer. Totally random events.
My vehicle has been turning off lately, while in traffic, making turns or parking. My car loses rpms, the lights dim, and then the car cuts off. I have to put the car in park, turn it off, and restart the engine and proceed on to my destination. This has happened to be repeatedly over the past two years, i don't feel safe being in my truck.
I was driving my truck down a back country road on the sway to work when i noticed a whistling sound coming from the truck.i began to slow down from 55mph and then i heard a loud bang underneath the truck.i got out to find the transfer case blown apart and the rear end was locked.this could have been a serious matter if i was driving on the highway or had not begun to slow down.upon further investigation i have found many recalls on my truck.i also found out that this is going to run me around 3 grand, if the transmission isn't messed up.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,100. Updated 05/17/17*lj
While coming to a stop, the truck lost all power and stalled. I immediately restarted the truck and proceeded to the next intersection, and it lost power and stalled again while braking to a full stop.i was able to make it two miles closer to my home, came to a stop and the engine revved up slightly, and then idled low to the point where i thought it was going to stall again.i got it home and had it towed to my mechanic. The truck was checked out, the truck did not stall after repeated testing for the next week. I picked it up, got a quarter mile down the road and it lost power and stalled again. I immediately returned it to the mechanic and, again, the truck did not duplicate the stalling, but the mechanic did see it rev up when coming to a stop. The mechanic replaced the idle positioning sensor and i picked up my truck only for it to stall on my way home.my mechanic has had my truck more than i have over the last two months and the problem remains undiagnosed.after basic research on dodge forums, this is a problem that many other people are dealing with and nothing has been done to address this issue.this is a major safety issue considering that the truck loses power and stalls without warning in the middle of turns and coming to a stop.please help resolve this issue before it costs someone their life.i am not the only person having this problem.
Engine stalled while driving a few times.some times while turning causing a loss of steering.finally engine quit, luckily while still and a valve sprig broke and valve dropped.dodge has long know about this dangerous situation.now i amount of warranty and out of luck.but lucky to be alive.
Began to slow down for a traffic light and my truck stalled while moving almost causing me to rear end the person ahead of me since i lost all control of my brakes and power steering.from what i'm reading this had happened to many people with the same year, make and model vehicle without any type of recall and its too dangerous of a situation.
Dodge 1500 stalls at slowing down.same problem as reported in multiple postings here.very dangerous situation.
I don't remember the exact date or mileage as the first failure's were low in frequency. The truck dies after filling up with fuel. You can be up to speed but normally happens shortly after fill up and entering traffic. No trouble lights are showing on the dash and truck normally starts back up fairly easily, although sounds flooded. Now the truck does this at almost every fill up. No code diagnostics are showing. I have replaced the egr and spark plugs, no change.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving 60 mph, the contact heard a loud abnormal banging noise. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and noticed oil leaking under the vehicle and that the drive shaft was missing. The vehicle was towed to normandin chrysler jeep dodge ram fiat (900 capital expressway auto mall, san jose, ca 95136) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed a new drive shaft. The dealer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was contacted and was unable to assist. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 171,000.
On 9/9/2016 my wife entered our garage to get something and found the garage filled with exhaust fumes due to my 2004 dodge ram 1500 engine running.obviously, it was parked without anyone in it.however, no one had the keys in their hands and there was no key in the ignition.it randomly started on it's own.i filed a complaint before about it randomly locking and unlocking doors, and it randomly having all lights go out while driving.this one, a random start when parked in a garage could turn fatal.this is a dangerous issue.
Just like everyone else who owns a dodge,i went to fuel up the truck and it went all over the ground rather than in the tank...took it to the dealer...check valve bad...need new tank....never buy dodge again..
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 crew cab 5.7l hemi 2wd and it continues to stall every now and then at low speeds or at a complete stop. Vehicle will start right up with no problem but battery gauge takes a few seconds to rise to operating levels. Transmission also feels like it wants to slip at time of stall. Had engine and trans changed, battery and alternator checked out okay as well. Did some research and found that a lot of incidents happen after vehicle transmission ha been serviced or transmission fluid is low; other individuals who have experienced this problem have said they had the erg valve, tps sensor, map sensor and even software. I don't know what the problem is but you end up spending hundreds of dollars trying to figure this out. I don't know why chrysler doesn't address this issue.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving 35 mph on various occasions, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart and functioned normally. The contact also stated that the vehicle would accelerate and then decelerate without depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to bergey's chrysler jeep dodge ram (408 harleysville pike, souderton, pa 18964, (215) 721-3470) where the contact was informed that the idle air control valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,870.
Oncoming vehicle lost control came across 4 lanes to hit front of truck. Dodge is totaled but air bags did not deploy.i contacted dodge to have them check them out and was told, first a special task force would come check the airbags and we would be compensated,then later was told due to the age and mileage of my truck they wouldn't but i could take it to a dodge dealership and see if they would run the test at my expense.dodge didn't seem to care why air bags didn't go off since the truck is 10 years old.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While backing out of the driveway at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle seized without warning. The contact placed the vehicle in park and the vehicle restarted. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 170,000.
Vehicle stalls under deceleration, cutting power to power brakes and steering. First two times it happened i was in traffic approaching busy intersection to a red light. Very nearly ended in crash except i got the emergency brake on. No warning or warning lights, no loss of electrical power.
During idles or stopping for intersections or traffic the engine stalls and dies making it impossible to steer or stop. I have nearly wrecked several time when it happened on hills. The mechanics i when to can't find anything, one of which was the dodge dealership. The problem started once after re fueling and now every time i get gas it does it several times then runs alright but the problem is getting worse. There in no warning when i dies and one of these times i am afraid i won't be able to stop it. I have seen multiple complaints on the issue with no decisive solution.
I was driving and my 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 sputtered and died without warning.i was in the left lane, and it was all i could do to pull it to the right side of the road as it lost power. I was headed uphill, so i was able to safely put it in neutral and let it roll back because i was blocking an entrance ramp to the interstate. It was 5 pm and i was westbound, so people had difficulty seeing my hazard lights while looking into the sun.it was scary!with regular maintenance and garage kept, this truck broke an engine valve spring. When this happens, the engine fails immediately because there is no longer compression in that cylinder. I was lucky, the spring held in place and did not allow the valve to drop into the cylinder, which would have been catastrophic and irreparable. After research, i found dodge knows about this problem in the 2004 hemi engine. In fact, they redesigned the valve springs in the 2005 models. Several sites & blogs showed owners with the same problem, but dodge never started a campaign or issued a recall.i contacted chrysler (dodge) and they refuse to assist or acknowledge the problem. If this had occurred on a busy interstate, i could have been involved in a serious accident.when the engine failed, i lost power steering and any ability to maneuver the vehicle. If needed, i have all documentation, and i also have the broken valve spring in my possession.
Vehicle was driving through a parking lot at approximately 5 miles per hour when suddenly the engine stalled.there was no loss of power to any other systems.the vehicle literally just cut off.the steering immediately became tight and unable to turn.i placed the truck in park and turned the key to the off position and waited about 30 seconds and tried to restart the truck.it operated for about 25 yards before doing the same thing again.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving and braking in traffic, the vehicle stalled and loss power steering and braking functions. The contact stated that extra effort was needed to depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and also to maneuver the steering wheel. The vehicle was restarted and operated for approximately fifteen minutes before the failure recurred. Buckeye chrysler jeep dodge ram (278 mansfield ave, shelby, oh 44875, (419) 347-5222) was contacted and stated that there was no recall on the vehicle and since there was no warning light they were unable to provide any assistance. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 201,732.
I bought an 04 ram 1500 5.7 hemi that had around 80k miles on it when i bought it in oct 2010. It was awesome the first and a half i had it, only minor repairs i.e battery, idler pulley, ignition switch. I did regular maintenance on it as well as oil changes. In late march 2012 i went to put gas in my truck and it would not let me put more than 10 or 15 cents in before it would "back fill" i was trying to figure out what the problem could be with that, then in early april 2012 i was driving home after running some errands, the truck had run great all day just like normal, but about 8 miles from house i hear this "thunk" and i have no power and i had this awful shaking and rattling noise. There were not even any warning lights telling we that there was something wrong, i called someone to tow it home that night. I did thankfully have another car to drive. In the months since i have been slowly tearing the engine apart with my dad, this week we finally pulled the heads and discovered that my # 6 piston was completely disintegrated and had punched a hole in my block! my original thought was that this was just a random fluke and it was just mine, but after reading on some dodge forums i see that it was not just mine!this is ridiculous for an engine that has no more miles than this and had been properly maintained. My parents have a 1999 ford f150 that has almost 300k on it and has not been maintained nearly as well... As my dad puts it "it has been run hard and put up wet" this engine has run like a champ! it even still has the original battery in it! there are many more reports of this happening to this engine both in the durango with that year hemi as well as the ram on this forum http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1dd4b2/270.
After filling gas tank full, engine dies when braking and turning a corner (losing steering) and coming to a stop.starts back up fine, but stalls again on next low speed braking or turning a corner.very similar to other accounts that i have read.i've had new plugs and o2 sensors costing mucho for zero result.when this occurs slowing down to make a slow turn, i have to throw it up to neutral to restart.once i threw it in park going slowly, but it was dangerous to screech to a halt with a car behind me almost rear ended me.i've been told the same crap by dealers about this and i know they are playing dumb.the only remedy thati use for this is similar to others which is just don't fill it all the way up unless you are getting right out on the highway to run those speeds and not be stopping.i can't let others drive my truck unless i make sure that the tank is below three quarters of a tank.i can't believe that there's not a quick and dirty fix for this.seems like you should disable emissions devices in the interest of safety.
When i purchased this dodge ram 1500 hemi 5.7 it had a bad engine. After the engine was fixed, i notice the truck would just stop running or stall and no engine light. I would start it back up and it would kill at anytime i would slow down to turn or slow down to stop. This would happen 2 to 10 times a day. Then not for a day or two. When i looked online there are a lot of people with this problem. The dealer is not fixing the problem. This can kill someone and i had to stop my son from using this truck. Because i was afraid he would get killed or kill someone else. There should be a recall for this matter.updated 9/15/15 *ln.... Updated 09/30/15
Vehicle stalled while driving down the road. I took it to the local mechanic and they did compression test on it they said no compression on the #7 cylinder, he told me it is an internal engine failure. My vehicle only has 33,000 miles on it. I found out it is a known issue, chrysler fixed it in the 05 models but did nothing for the 2003 and 2004 vehicles.
Since march of 2013 i've made several panic stops to avoid running a red light. I de accelerated from 30 to 0 and the truck stalled when it came to a stop. Additional complaint is every now and then the truck won't start. The engine turns over, but doesn't start. I have to turn the key to the off position and then it starts on the re try.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled and the temperature gauge and check engine warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle restarted after the brake pedal was depressed several times; however, the failure recurred approximately every 15 miles. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 234,000. Updated 09/03/15*ljupdated10/26/2017
When braking, the vehicle engine stalls as i slow down. The issue was intermittent, but now happens each time i break. I have to pull over with no power steering and restart the vehicle in p or n. Sometimes, i have to wait a few minutes before it will let me restart.
I bought my truck used approximately dec 1, 2005 with 49,500 km on the odometer.it is a 2004 dodge quad cab 1500 with a 5.7l hemi engine.approximately 3 weeks ago the engine stopped.i was driving along a residential street at between 20 and 30 km/hr.my foot was barely on the accelerator and the engine stopped.there was no warning (i.e. No hesitation, stumbling or mis-fire).no dash lights came on.i pulled over, put it in park and the engine started up right away with no problems afterward.it was approximately ''10 or ''12c temperature outside and had gone to ''20c overnight.i had a full tank of gas and my throttle body had been serviced in the previous 2 weeks.the engine was reasonably warm, but i had only been driving for approximately 5 minutes at low speeds.odometer was about 56,000km.the truck was into chrysler service on feb 24 and i mentioned that the engine stopped to the service manager.i asked if he had heard of anyone else complaining of this problem.he said he had never heard of any complaints.today (feb 28, 2006), the engine stopped again.the temperature outside was approximately ''10c and had gone to about ''13 or ''15c overnight.same symptoms.i had driven for about 5 minutes, light accelerator, speed of about 20 to 30 km/hr and was in heavy traffic.i put it in neutral and the engine started right up without any problems.no dash lights came on. Odometer is about 59,000 km.
Turning on off ramp about 30 mph. Truck stopped running. Shifted out of drive started motor again.
My 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.7 liter hemi stalls inconsistently. This has happened several times over the last 3 years, on the highway and when slowing down at stop lights. The truck has always started right back up until yesterday. I was in traffic, going about 30 mph when it shut down. I tried repeatedly to start the truck back up; it finally did after several tries. I learned that issue is synonymous with 2004 rams. We have already replaced the throttle body and egr valve. This is obviously a safety issue. We pull a horse trailer on regular bases and can not take the chance of someone hitting us due to stalling, let alone losing control of the vehicle. What an outrage that dodge doesn't take responsibility for this!! i love my truck, but now i am shopping for a new truck, not dodge, with a heavy heart.
Ea05018i don't feel that this complaint should have been closed.this started happening on my truck and it is a serious safety concern.i have had 2 very near misses when the vehicle stalls and i lose power steering going around a corner.
My 2004 dodge ram stalls. On four different occasions. The last two almost killing my girlfriend and me. After the first three, i took it to a mechanic and he replaced the cam and crank sensor. On the way home, it did it again. Three of the four times it stalled while turning left and slowing down. This puts you in front of oncoming traffic. The last time i was on alert and still nearly died. There are no lights or warnings.
Dt:at certain speeds the truck is choking down, not getting enough gas.at time the vehicle operates as if it's not getting enough fuel.the gas mileage has also been drastically reduced.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact was driving 40 mph when the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and then took the vehicle to an authorized dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The contact experienced the recurring failure approximately twenty times. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 124,000 and the current mileage was 128,581.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7l hemi v-8, and everytime i turn my truck wheel my truck ends up stalling. It stalls and idles down for no reason.
2004 dodge ram 1500 slt quad cab hemi - vehicle with 700 miles on it stalled several times for no apparent reason - almost resulted in being rear ended.
While driving at 20 mph engine stalledand lost completepower. The vehicle stalled while making left or right turns at low speed, and while coming to stop(s) both up or down hill at low speeds. Dodge say they areaware of problem, but can not resolve at this time.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad. While driving at any speed, the contact noticed that the vehicle stalled after applying pressure to the brakes which caused the vehicle to lose power steering. The dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was informed and advised the contact that there were no recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 83,000.the failure mileage was approximately 82,000.
2004, dodge ram 1500, 5.7l.truck will sometimes stall while slowing for a stop or turn.had the tsb 18-013-05a done by the dealer and the problem still exists.this is a dangerous problem especially into turns because the vehicle loses its power steering.
When truck idles the engine cuts off.this happens about once every 20 mile trip.truck has been in for repair with nothing found.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.the vehicle stalled when it was completely stopped on three occasions.on four occasions, while driving between 10-40 mph, the vehicle stalled again.the dealer stated twice that nothing was wrong with the vehicle and could not determine the cause of failure.the current mileage was 72,000 and failure mileage was 40,000.
While driving the vehicle suddenly stalled. The cause of this was undetermined.
My 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with 5.7 hemi motor stalls when approahing a stop. Does not happen every time, but fairly regular. It always comes as a suprise, rpms drop to @ 400, engine vibrates and stops. It always starts right up. It does it when hot or cold, but more when cold. Many times the rpms just drop, engine vibrates a little and stays running. Dealer had truck 3 times, first two they found no problem, even that i video taped the conditions while driving, 3rd time they admit there is a problem, but do not know how to fix it. Today, it is in the dealership for the 4th time for the same thing. I explained it might have to do with the transmission not down shifting right on stopping, as shortly after i had a transmission sending unit replaced, right after purchase, it started acting this way
Engine died twice in 2 1/2 years total loss of steering a 240 lbs man can not turn the wheel after engine dies brakes work fine just no steering.
Dt:the consumer stated that the vehicle stalled unexpectedly. Thishappened while sitting still and just recently while driving at a speed of 15 mph.there was no prior warning before stalling, andno dashboard lights came on to indicate a problem. No lights on the dashboard came on after stalling. The vehicle will immediately start right back up.this happened forsix months at least.the idle was jumping.the consumer thought that theidling and stalling problems were related.the vehiclehad idle problems since january 21, 2004. The vehicle had been to the dealership three times, and was on the way back to the dealership.the dealership could not find any problem with the truck because it was intermittent.the manufacturer was contacted, and referred the customer back to the dealership.also, the manufacturer told the consumer that this problem belonged to the dealer.(11/08/05)*sc
Dodge ram 1500 w/5.7 hemi stalls.this incident has occurred dozens of times, and appears to occur most frequently during no or light throttle conditions such as driving through intersections or down a long grade.stalls have also occurred when switching from drive to reverse (in parking lots) and during the first start-up of the day if the vehicle is shifted into reverse immediately after starting.ninety-five percent of the time, there is no warning (ie, stumbe) that the engine is experiencing a problem. We have attempted to have this problem diagnosed at many dealerships, none of whom were able to retrieve any codes. Due to our persistence and concern, two local dealerships have since refused to work on our truck.thus far, dodge dealers have attempted to blame this problem on a poorly connected battery and have supposedly "adjusted the throttle body blade" to allow more air into the engine during light/no throttle conditions.i am quite familiar with electronic engine controls and find this repair rather disturbing. It is not yet known if this "repair" has affected vehicle emissions.in light of pe05-027, i will be forwarding relevant paperwork and correspondence to the attention of stephen speth.
My 2004 dodge ram 1500 pick up with a 5.7 liter engine began to stall upon braking and coming to a stop. The engine would lose rpm and die (stall)leaving me with no brakes or steering. It would restart easily but occur again frequently.took the vehicle to a repair shop and after extensive and expensive diagnosis was found to have a failing throttle body and associated electrical failure. A new throttle body was obtained from dodge (different part number from original) and installed. Total cost for the work was approximately $2,500.00. My research shows that this problem is extensive in this model and is dangerous.
I own a 2004 dodge 1500 quad cab.at about 35,000 miles when i came to a stop my truck would just die.there would be no check engine lights or anything to make you think something was wrong.i took it and had a diagnostic ran on it there would never be any code.to this date my truck is still doing the same thing.i have searched the web and found that i am not alone.dodge knows that this problem exists.i have called to be told that they would have to have a diagnosis before they would fix the problem.that is impossible since no code will show up.please help.this is a very dangerous situation.
My truck stalls as i come to a stop. This happens probably about 4 times a month since the date above. The dealership hasn't been able to find the problem. I have read on forums online that a ton of other people are having the same problem. Some say it has to do with erg valve and it should be recalled. They said they replace the egr valve and the problem is fixed.
I have a 2004 dodge ram with the 5.7 hemi motor. The engine stalls and dies for no reason when i am slowing down and preparing to turn.
My truck, a 2004 dodge ram 5.7 litre, stalls without any warning. It has happened twice now. Causes a loss of power steering but all of my electrical stays on. There is no warning light on my dash.
This happen to me three times the first time december 2003 two months after i got the vehicle.the second time it happened june 2004, and the third time it happened september 2004.the first time it happened.i was driving down the highway in 4 wheel drive high about 30 to 35 mph when the truck stalled.i had no indication that it stalled except for loss of power steering.the second time this happened i was driving down a gravel road about 35 to 40mph.i was coming up on a curve in the road, and the vehicle stalled again.again i lost power steering, and came close to going into the ditch with my 1 year old boy.the third time this happened i was stopped at a stop light when the vehicle stalled.i have taken the vehicle in twice for this, and the dealership said the computer in the engine probrably just reset itself, and there is nothing they can do about it.i have written a letter to dodge, and sent it in with their survey after the last incident, and haven't heard back.
Driving the vehicle and notice performance issues, strange sounds and stalling, oil pressure gauge fell out, and was concerned for my safety.pulled over and had to drive real slow with flashers to get home.inspectors have told me that the engine had a cooling failure that caused the oil to sludge.
I own a 2004 dodge ram 1500 powered by the hemi engine. I have talked with timberline dodge located in portland or about a problem i have been experiencing with the engine suddenly stalling for no reason. All that the dealership did was add me to a list of over 30 other can owners with the same problem. Today i was nearly in an accient as the result of the engine quitting without notice. I was entering a busy parking list when i was suddenly confronted with a steering wheel that would not turn and brakes that were ineffective. I have researched further and there appears to be a substantial number of vehicle owners with the same problem.. I purchased the vehicle 2 months ago and have had several occurences since please help.
Vehicle engine stalls randomly. No warning, no warning lights. Vehicle driving 10-15 mph, engine stops. Will start up immediately when ignition turned off then on.
Since 2004 my 2004 ram 1500 hemi has died numerous times (have dated, weather, time, and intersections).it is impossible to tell you how often because this engine has a mind of it's own.i have had my computer chip "flashed" by dodge dealerships at least twice and currently it is at tom matson dodge in auburn wa 98002 because in the last month has died four times.they called with a report today, "did not die on us, come back and pick it up".
Recently my ram 1500 has begun to stall for no reason.no check engine light will come on and no sputtering.just stalls when i slow down for a light or making a turn.it will usually starts right up and act like nothing happened.other times it will take about a minute to start.thankfully i have not been rear ended, yet.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.while coasting across railroad tracks, the vehicle stalled when the accelerator pedal was depressed.the vehicle restarted within minutes of stalling.there was electrical power, but the engine was not running.there were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure.the failure has occurred at least three times within the last two years, in which the dealer reprogrammed the powertrain control module.the failure mileage was 44,000.updated 3/3/09 the consumer stated the engine would always start up after it stalled. Updated 03/04/09.
Engine stalled at idle, then again when braking coming to a red light. It does this randomly with no warning. Almost got into an accident on the second incident as truck took a couple times of trying to restart while at a major intersection. No engine light comes on and no codes are thrown. Dodge needs to fix this on their hemi model trucks. Have read on multiple web-sights that this is a continuing problem! if dodge doesn't do something soon to fix this for their customers i will be selling my truck for a ford again and never buy from dodge or tell others to buy from them!!!
Engine failure. On several occasions the engine would stall upon acceleration. My 2004 dodge ram 1500 stalled on me after driving onto a patch of ice causing my steering wheel to become difficult to steer and the truck started sliding down an icy street, off the road and down a mountain until it came to a stop on a tree. Since the truck stalled and i was not able to restart it in time. The truck is now a total loss. The frame bent in the front drivers area of the truck, the steering became lose and the back passenger quarter panel is damaged which will not allow the tail gate to come down.
My 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4, 5.7 liter hemi stalled while driving.the problem occurred within 3 minutes of filling gas tank and while slowing to make a left turn.since then vehicle has stalled within several minutes of each fill-up, (once while still at the pump) a total of 4 times.car has restarted almost immediately and problem only occurs after removing and replacing gas cap.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 with a hemi it has a stalling and idle drop problem. I have almost hit other car due to the engine stalling loss of steering and brakes. I have taken my truck in had the upgrade done stalling was less now only twice but idle drops to 300 rpm and bounces around truck shakes like its going to stall then smoothes out and rpms go back to 1100 or so. Dealer just keeps telling me they are working direct with chrysler corp on this and they will keep in touch. They have yet to call me i call them once a week to see what is going on and get the same story the are working on it...
The vehicle shut down, losingpower to steering, brakes, and the consumer was left in traffic.vehicle was serviced, and the dealer stated there was no solution for the problem they knew that existed.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.while driving 15 mph, the vehicle would stall when turning or while stopped.the power steering would fail and no warning lights were present.the failure only occurred in cold weather.the dealer inspected the vehicle and found no failures.the purchase date was unknown.the current mileage was 26,250 and failure mileage was approximately 25,500.
2004 dodge ram 1500 slt quad cab 5.7 v8 hemi- 1003 miles on vehicle the first time it stalled while driving.no "check engine" light comes on and dealer unable to duplicate problem.has happened 4 times within 8 months.no power steering when stalls and almost crossed into opposing traffic lane the 2nd occurence.major safety hazzard issue!!!chrysler not responding to buyback request.
Truck shuts off while driving -i had to stand on the brakes and steeringwas almost impossible. This happened while attempting to merge onto earlymorning traffic in i95 in ft lauderdale where everybody is going 70-75 mph.if that truck had hit me, i and several others around me would have died.wewere just plain lucky.i had it towed to the dealer and they found nothing wrong.this happened about a dozen times and i kept fixing things which were not brokenbefore i did a little research and found out this truck is famous for this problem.2 dealers will not even return my calls when i start to discuss this problem. Theyeither know about this problem and do not want to get involved or realize thiscannot be fixed.i have to drive this vehicle across florida to bring it back to where i purchased it.my brother is flying down from boston to follow me in case i have trouble.if delaer gives me a negative response i am planning onsuing chrysler and the dealer as i really believe they knew about this problemwhen they sold me the truckthere are hundreds of others with the same exact issue with the same exact truck. Why has nhtsa not done something?
Had just filled gas tank fifteen minutes earlier. Driving on mountain rd. Slowed for curve and engine quit, almost ran into logging truck headon. This has happened several times after fillup. Once while driving 65 mph on freeway. Slowed to let another vehicle in front of me and engine quite as soon as i touched the brakes. When i fill gas tank it usually die at first stop. Does this until i have used up some of the gas. Have asked dealer who sold the truck to me to look into this several times before i get killed.no response. I no longer drive that road just after fill up. Have checked the internet and found that several 1500 ram owners have had the same problem. It will be like the ignition switch problem. People will have to get killed to get it fixed.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled without warning while idling and while traveling various speeds.the vehicle restarted soon after stalling.the vehicle had to be towed to a dealership who determined the problem could not be duplicated.
Check engine light is on. Strong smell of gas when vehicle is shut off. Vehicle stalls at slow speeds. Can't tell the engine quit as the rpms bottom out and engine dies. Very dangerous for driving. No control after the engine stops. This happened twice today. First time was in traffic in a town at a stop light. Couldn't restart the engine for awhile and couldn't get the truck out of traffic. Second time slowed to turn around in a driveway entrance and backed up when i came to a stop to shift to d the engine stalled and i didn't know it. My truck was at an angle crossing 2 lanes of traffic. Luckily, i was able to get it restarted. I googled the problem and it seems to be very common and dangerous with limited success on finding a repair solution.
Before the occurrences, my 5.7l ram 1500 would sputter on idle and when first put into gear, and the check engine light would come on for about 25 miles and then go back off.when the code was checked for the light, the forward passenger-side oxygen sensor was showing voltage high.i replaced the sensor, cleared the codes and everything was fine for a while.the first event happened when i was making a left turn on a small road-when i turned, the truck died.i didn't notice that the truck had died until i felt the power steering go out, and then i realized i was stuck in the middle of the road.i then had to crank the engine 5 or 6 times before it started again, and, when it did, the check engine light was back on.the same problem happened 2 more times that day.when taken to the dealer, an engine diagnostic was run, and the same code was showing up.the mechanics put about 45 miles on it trying to duplicate the problem, but were unable to.the problem stopped for about 2 weeks, and then it started sputtering again.when taken again to the dealer, 4 cylinders were showing a mis-fire, and the same oxygen sensor was showing voltage high.the mechanic informed me that the cylinders were mis-firing due to bad spark plugs (which were not due for service yet).i have changed the spark plugs, and my truck has died twice since then.this has become more than frustrating because i bought the truck used with 39,000 miles (roughly) on it.the mechanic charged me for my last visit because different codes showed up, so it was a different problem-even though the truck was in the shop for the same conditions.if some actions aren't taken, i am ready to file for lemon laws.
2004 dodge 1500 quad cab hemi - stalled while taking an exit ramp from the highway.had it for two week with 524 miles on it. I see that this was a complaint before from someone, but my dealer claims they never heard of this.however they can't look at it for several days - i told them i thought this was a safety issue, but didn't seem to matter.not a good situation trying to control a truck with no power steeering. *la
2004 ram 1500 5.7 hemi stalls at low engine speeds, often at stop signs, traffic lights, or parking lot maneuvers. Will usually start immediately back up, sometimes requires slight accelerator pressure when cranking in order to obtain self-sustaining engine speed. During decelerations, engine rpm is erratic and will often encounter a drop in rpms to approximately 400 rpm before engine dies. Issue seems to be more common when engine is cold, but has occured under all conditions. This has been a persistent problem for about 1.5 years, happening anywhere from once a day to a dozen times. Multiple dealerships and mechanics have looked at this, without result. The computer has been updated, the sensors, egr valve, and intake manifold cleaned, and the throttle body has been replaced. Still not fixed. Vehicle has been well maintained . This is an expensive, dangerous, and frustrating condition.having 3 kids in the car at any given time also adds to my frustration.
2004 dodge ram. Stalled 3 separate times before dealer could find diagnostic reading to repair in 2005. The last time my truck died on an on ramp in traffic and the dealer had to tow it.dealer replaced computer.august 2008 6:50am left to take children to school in extremely bad rainy weather. We were several miles up the road from our home andas i slowed to make a right hand turn i heard a loud whining noise and my truck turned off. I could not turn the steering wheel, had no lights , windshield wipers,brakes, nothing. The gear shift would not move to put back in park to try to restart. We had to sit in the road for several minutes before i could put it in park and it started. It was like the key was not in the ignition. The power steering wasn't out, the steering wheel was locked as were the brakes. I called the local dodge dealer at 7:30am and was told to bring the truck in. I took my truck in at 8:30 am and as of 5:11 pm they can not find a code on the trucks computer as before in 2005. This is the 4th time on this same truck that it has shut down while driving and the second time they have had to fix it. I am not sure what they are going to do at this time because they said they can't find a code on the computer and are suggesting i pick it back up and continue to drive it until it does it again. This is a very dangerous situation that should be addressed before someone is injured or killed.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact was stopped at a stop sign when the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning.the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics where the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 101,770.
While traveling 60mph on my ram 04 hemi experienced a vibration which resulted in the vehicle running rough.broke 2 valve springs costing over $900 to repair. I've also experienced the sudden stalling and leaks from power steering lines.
Engine stalls randomly for no reason.
I have had to replace the water pump 5x in 2 years.the water pump was replaced, the fan and the fan clutch was replaced once during this time.no one seems to know why this keeps happening.
I own a 2004 dodge ram with the 5.7 hemi engine. The engine in my truck has stalled on numerous occasions when slowing down and going into a turn. Once on the freeway at 65 mph! this happens most when turning on city streets or pulling into a parking lot. The dealer has flashed the pcm 3 times and it still has the problem. The last time it was in for this problem the dealer screwed with the timing, fuel air mixture and idle all in poor attempt to keep it from stalling. The results are poorer fuel mileage, occasional black smoke from exhaust, stalls at idle, the engine stumbles and soot build-up in the exhaust pipes. Oh, it stills stalls while turning sometimes. The dealer and the regional dodge rep are both dragging their feet. The truck is unsafe to drive. It has 20" tires and wheels(factory)which make it even harder to steer when the engine dies and you also lose the power brakes too. Real waker upper.
While driving my 2004 dodge ram 1500 while turning at approx 5 miles per hour the car stalled out this has now happened on various occasions. There is no code and several repair shops don t have a clue what to fix and just want to start replacing parts.
Oil coolant lines can leak resulting in oil contacting engine and starting possible fire.oil coolant lines should be replaced by the dealer free of charge, as this is a problem across all the range of 2004-2006 dodge ram srt-10 trucks.
1)left house in morning found while driving down rd truck was blowing white smoke from tailpipe2)truck cuts off due to water leaking into cylinder#13)dealer service dept> found the head gasket was damaged and was amazed with just at 80,000 miles a damaged head gasket in the shape it is looks like it was not seated correctly.
I have a 2004 dodge 1500. On 18 feb 10 for no apparent reason truck started to overheat. I have not taken it to a dealer yet but i understand this is a problem that is starting to develop with this vehicle and currently dodge does not know what the issue is. Several items have been replaced on these vehicles but so far nothing has helped.
Recently purchased brand new, 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab w/5.7 hemi. Awesome truck though quality is a issue. Defective coolant surge tank or possible other defective parts leading to excessive build up of pressure. End result, coolant over flow making a mess and low coolant. Have taken to authorized dealer twice within a month.dodge service tested and confirm however, monitoring and asked for truck to be return if coolant leak is agian present. Problem is surge tank and cap have abundant residue coolant present.my answer, dugh! the system is a failure.no replacement parts were offered, dealer states coolant over flow was due to possible overfill. Funny thing is at 3k maintenance, coolant problem was addressed and service departmentstated on receipt overfilled and corrected.well then 500 miles later, coolant still leaks and service department saying nothings wrong. I guess dodge truck are required to leak then. ?
Coolant overflow bottle defective design. Cap leaks coolant. Coolant level @ minimum still losing coolant. Dealer states when vehicle goes over rough roads, coolant spashes and leaks out the cap. Bottle replaced 3 times, continues to leak.
2004 dodge 5.7 hemi engine has 2 dropped the valve in the number 6 piston on two separate engines, resulting in castrophic engine failure and needing to replace the motor. There are several complaints of this happening on edmunds .com. Almost all of the engines are between 70,000 and 80,000 miles. Dodge has not issued a recall to accept the defect and is costing their customers between 5k and 10k dollars an engine for those who do not now how to put the engine in.i am currently a dodge mechanic and have recognized this problem and would like to make it public. Have brought this to chrysler corporation's attention with no result. The government needs to step in and do something about this because dodge is refusing there is an issue.
2004 dodge ram 4.7l automatic transmission. The design of the radiators with the plastic sides on the aluminum radiator core is defective. During the winter the radiator leaks on the passenger side near the coupling of the plastic to the aluminum. I think this is a safety concern since vehicles can overheat without proper anti-freeze levels, and leave owners stranded on the side of highways, and roads. Let alone it's not good for the environment nor animals that enjoy the taste of anti-freeze. This is the second time this has happened to me with this truck. I replaced the radiator with the same type a year ago, and now it's doing the same thing as before. This is an o.e.m. Radiator.
When making a turn engine stops for no reason causing me to lose steering.tookone a vehicle to dealer who advised they could find nothing wrong.
5.7 engine stalls, no warning, when slowing down. Causes loss of power steering.
Braking on the highway led to engine stall and full loss of power to vehicle. Vehicle stalled in left lane and nearly caused a crash.also, rack and pinion steering began to fail at 50,000 miles. Replaced at 54,000.
I have an 2004 dodge ram with a 5.7l hemi engine. My truck is now around 50k miles. I have had engine stalling since day-one of owning the vehicle. I have taken it to two dodge dealers multiple times and it has yet to be fixed. The engine stalls mostly when coming to a stop. Sometimes is just stalls after sitting at a light with my foot on the brake.
Brakes locked up on 2004 dodge ram 1500. *mr the brakes locked up.they unlocked on their own and continued to be functional.the consumer was told that something other than the brake fluid was in the brake fluid.the consumer felt that the someone in the service department, selling dealership, or manufacturer topped the fluid off incorrectly.*sc a faulty belt was replaced in the engine.
Traveling at 40 mph truck started to shake.it then stalled out on a slow-braking turn.had to limp home and then to garage using one foot on brake and one on gas to keep the rpms up.initial diagnosis was a stuck air valve that made the fuel mixture too rich.several cylinders were missing.it turned out that two valve springs were broken.apparently this is pretty common.a lot of valve springs are being sold in the area.the truck had 73k miles on it and of course the warranty ran out at 70k.defective valve springs costing a couple of bucks cost me over $1000 in repairs.i was lucky that the block wasn't damaged.for a while we thought we needed a new engine.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. After changing the oil in the vehicle, the contact noticed that the oil was being burned at a quick rate. The oil was burning 1,000 miles for every quart. The vehicle was taken to an authorized daler where they were condcuting an oil evaluation. The contact called the manufacturer who stated that the problem was normal. The failure mileage was 70,984.
While stopped in a turn lane, the engine shut down for no apparent reason. This occurring three days after serviced by the dealer for the second time for the same problem. Have since spoken to the dealer again and have been told that chrysler is looking into the problem.so far, this a problem that has only manifested itself in town at low speeds. I am very concerned that it may occur on the freeway, which will leave me with no power steering or power brakes.
Yesterday for no apparent reason my 2004 dodge ram 1500 died on a busy road with no warning. And would not restart. This truck has on several occasions when coming to a stop decided to stop running. (4-5 times in 2 years)until yesterday i would turn the switch off then restart and i would be okay until the next timethe engine was checked for codes but none were found. After reading other problems on your site why has this issue not been solved? someone should be held accountable "dodge" and the public safety should be #1concern......i awaityour response to thisnot so uncommon problem with shutdowns & stalling engines.
2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi qcintermittlently stalls at idle.no check engine light, and throws no code.key must be turned all the way back, then forward to restart.this seems to happen only when engine is warmed up.safety hazard!
I just learned you were looking into an issue with 2004/05 dodge ram trucks where the engine stalls.i own a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab with a 5.7 liter engine.in december of 2006, i was traveling up a hill (a fairly steep grade) at about 30 - 35 mph when the engine just stalled for no apparent reason just as i was about to come left around a bend.the engine restarted and has not stalled since.
My husband bought our 2004 dodge ram 1500 (hemi) in jan 2004 and has about 130,000 miles now.we had problems with the breaks and rotors just like every one else on here in march of 2005 when driving down the highway with cruise on and the truck lost all power.the rpm wentto zero but the truck was stillrunning . To get the rpm to come back on we would have to turn off the truck and restart the truck.every time the electrical light would come on,all while in traffic at 65-70 mph. This went on from march 2005- jan 2007. We have been to the dealer many times and they couldn'tget any codes to come up.then in january 07 we got off the highway to stop at a store and had to make a left turn into the store.the truck made a loud pop noise and died.when my husband started the truck back up it was sputtering and wouldn't stay running without keeping the truck above 2000 rpms.i took the truck to my dad who is a robertson tire repair tech.he couldn't get any codes to come up.then about 45 min after letting the truck sit he ran the codes again and got about fifteen codes.we replaced all the sensors and it didn't help so went to the dealer again.they couldn't get any codes and couldn't tell us what was wrong.why it wouldn't stay running. So i just thought i would file my complaint and let everyone know what happens after its done stalling what happens next. I will not buy another dodge.
I have an 04 dodge ram 1500 hemi,while driving the truck at any given time truck just shuts down completely.i have taken it back to the dealer several times and nothing was done to solve the problem.now last week i was driving up the street the truck shut off one more time causing me to hit a guide rail.i feel the truck is very unsafe to drive and personally dont want it anymore.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving 40mph, the oil pumped failed.the engine light illuminated and the instrument cluster read the oil level was zero.the vehicle was pulled to the side of the road where it was towed to the dealership.the vehicle is currently undergoing additional testing.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving under normal conditions and at any speed, the vehicle stalled.the vehicle was taken to the dealer on 6 occasions for this problem.the first 3 times the vehicle was inspected, the problem could not be duplicated.on the fourth time the pcm, map sensor and the ngc controller were replaced.this corrected the problem for only a short period of time.the stalling returned and the vehicle was taken back for inspection two more times however, no repairs were made.there is also a problem with the transmission, it has been overhauled 2 times and the vehicle is still having engine hesitation problems.the vehicle was taken to the dealer 5 times due to the abs.when the brakes were applied the rear end of the vehicle pulsates.no repairs were made to the abs and the manufacturer was alerted.
Truck stalled when turning a corner. Had to accelerate through the corner and after i released the accelerator the truck died without any indicator lights. I put it in neutral and started it and drove off.
2004 ram 1500 quad cab 5.7l hemi.engine suddenly stalls when it reaches temperature if the vehicle is decelerating (stop or turn). The engine appears to fail to switch correctly from high to low idle and goes right to zero. This results in immediate loss of steering and significant safety hazard.this has continued to occur more frequently with time and by the online descriptions is getting to be fairly common.
After driving at highway speeds for a period of time, once i stop the vehicle and almost always happens after i proceed into a turn, without warning, the vehicle's engine cuts off.i have carried it to the dealer twice, they say they have never heard of this before and can find no problem, they tell me once this has been brought to the manufacturers attention more than three times, a service bulletin is issued.i know of one other owner of this same vehicle with the same problem and the internet has numerous complaints about the same problem with the make and model of this vehicle.
2004 dodge truck extra cab 1500 has problems of stalling while driving.*mrthe dealer flashed the pcm but that did not keep the vehicle from stalling.while driving up a slight grade the consumer heard a clunking noise from the transmission when it went into overdrive.the dealer test drove the vehicle but could not duplicate the problem.
2004 dodge ram pick up,stalling problems.happens to me when i come to a stop.seems to be on very hot days for some reason, but not every time.dealer attempted fix with chrysler download program and failed.back again for second attempt, now we are in test mode.
When the driver moved across two lanes to initiate a left turn the truck lost all power.the consumer pushed down on the accelerator but noting happened until the driver pushed the pedal all the way to the floor.when the pedal was pushed all the way to the floor the truck lurched forward quickly at a very high rpm.the problem has never occurred again, even after the dealer examined the vehicle.the cruise control would not disengage until the vehicle's speed exceeded8 mph over the set speed.
Hemi engine dies for no reason.3 times within1yr and half,truck restarts fine.happens after it is put in gear and driven for @150ft. Took to dealer and the denied any problems.
2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.7 hemi.engine stalls daily when stopping at red lights or stop signs.dealer has "flashed' the computer, but never helps.
All model of the dodge 4.7motor. Motor stops running due to a prone sludge build up dodge will not recognize it as a motor failure . It is infact a design flaw dodge needs to address this someone is going to get killed breaking down on a highway or such. Motor stops and it is impossible to steer or brake with the engine off at 65 mph. This really needs to be addressed. Thousand of people are being stranded in need of please research. [xxx]thankyouinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Consumer was pulling out from a parking space and noticed that the rpms were going up, and the engine was making a funny noise. When he got to the road and approached the stop light the same thing happened. Then,vehicle slowed down and shutdown. Consumer just picked the brand new vehicle up from the dealer the day before.he had the vehicle towed to the dealer, and was told that the filter in the transmission was coming apart. Which meant that none of the fluid was going to the transmission.this blew out theengine. The dealer replaced the transmission. *tc
Vehicle shook, and engine overheated.also, engine light illuminated.
When braking/stoping the engine will stall, dealership has verified stalling problem.have been advised that dodge is aware of problem and an update to software is under development.dodge does not know the release date of software.
Truck started stalling a few weeks ago for my wife. I finally had the chance to drive it and it fell flat on its face. My entire family was almost put into a telephone pole at 45 mph since the truck lost all power. This time it didn't stall it just ran with no acceleration and held at 4,000 rpms. Extensive attempts for cooperation by dealership and daimler chrysler have led me to believe i bought a really expensive coffin. I established the tsb codes w/ both and was left hansen high and dry. I got that " sure we'll help, here' s a new truck but we can't pay off yours even though we sold it to you." and the" we're not responsible for this even though we acknowledge the problem is our fault." i will not purchase a dodge vehicle again. Shame on dodge!!!! i don't really blame the dealership, but they themselves should have checked all this with the truck before selling it to me. Daimler chrysler representatives who decided this isn't a problem should be made should be punished by law to drive these faulty vehicles until they are injured or killed. Maybe then these problems will be repaired.
Vehicle stalled in varying conditions.stalled/stopped at stop light 3 times.coasting down hill 3 times 60 + mph.accelerating up hill 4 times at 60 + mph.driving from stop with wheels turned af full lock 2 times. Also stalled after startingup or whenput into reverse 2 times.
At 6:45 am as i approached a red stop light the engine died.i noticed it because the breaking and steering became difficult.it restarted easily and i was able to get to work without any other problems.
-the contact has a 2004 dodge ram 1500 that has stalled while traveling at various speeds. The contacthas been able to restart the vehicle after the stalling incidents.the dealer stated that they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle since they couldn't duplicate the problem. The first time the contact experience the stalling the vehicle had an odometer reading of 15,000 miles.
2004 ram 1500 5.7 hemi stalls at low engine speeds, often at stop signs, traffic lights, or parking lot maneuvers. Will usually start immediately back up, sometimes requires slight accelerator pressure when cranking in order to obtain self-sustaining engine speed. During decelerations, engine rpm is erratic and will often encounter a transient drop in rpm's to approximately 400 rpm before engine dies. Issue seems to be more common and severe in cold weather, or when engine is cold, but has occurred under all conditions. This has been a persistent problem for about two years, happening anywhere from once a day to a dozen times. Multiple dealerships and mechanics have looked at this, without result. The computer has been updated, the sensors, egr valve, and intake manifold cleaned, and the throttle body has been replaced. Still not fixed. Vehicle has been well maintained and has less than 55k miles. This is an expensive, dangerous, and frustrating condition.
While traveling at a high speed, vehicle completely shut down. Consumer said there was a tractor traveling close behind and almost resulted in a rear end collision.*la
I was driving my 2004 dodge ram 5.7 liter hemi pick-up truck home from work on 03-02-06 and was making a right hand turn i was probably going about 20 miles per hr. And the truck just stalled out i almost hit the car in the opposing lane because there was no power so the brakes were at a loss and so was the steering i'm glad i wasn't going any faster than that.
Stalling 2004 dodge hemi sport---stalls upon breaking or coasting at an intersection.brakes make high pitch ringing noise everytime but dealer says it has nothing to do with the other.been in 4 times for repair, co-pilot installed to try to retrieve alternative pictures of system since no codes were sent during shut down.dealer could not repeat stalling, nor could they retrieve any info with co-pilot.now chrysler has informed the dealer they are not to touch my vehicle any more for this issue since they can not repeat the stalling themselves.now i'm waiting to meet with the regional manager of chrysler to discuss buy back.
Oil pressure gauge went to zero. Never came back. Dodge will not warranty the engine , dealer says the engine is shot, 56k and is still under warranty. Dealership started at 8 grand to fix it. Is now down to 4,500. It appears this could be a common problem but dodge won't warranty the repair.
When driving down a decline at any speed the vehicle stalled without warning.as a result the vehicle was left with no power.the consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealership on two separate occasions but the problem recurred. Please provide any additional information.
Originally had a problem with the egr position sensor and the dealership re programmed this with new software this took place 02/07/06. Seemed to take care of originalstalling issue.then on 12/2/06 i was exiting the freeway and my truck was shaking bad. I could tell that the engine was misfiring. If the engine went down to an idle it would stall, which it did several times, leaving all system components powerless (no steering or brakes etc). I had my pregnant wife in the truck with me at the time. Putting her in danger this way left me less than thrilled.we took it to a dealership right away. They told us that cylinder #4 was not firing (no compression) and two other cylinders had limited compression. They ended up calling some dodge tech. Line. Since the dealership said that they couldn't find a tsb regarding this problem.turned out there is one in existence #02021 from 11/4/2002. The tech line said it sounds like one or more valve springs could be broken. The dealership in fact took the valve covers off and sure enough there is a broken valve spring. They told us several others seem weak.i have 71,500 miles on the truck and you guessed it surprise the warranty expired at 70,000. This is going to cost around $1200.00 out of pocket!!!i want dodge to back this problem. There are alot of discussion boards with innocent people that have the same problem. A broken valve spring is an obvious error on the engineers end of things...bad design.....faulty metal.this is not a wear and tear issue. I have heard that dodge is on their 3rd design on the valve springs for these trucks. Obviously they are aware of the problem. If they have to keep re-manufacturing. But that puts the rest of us that have the original design in harms way.it is a very scary feeling to have you truck quit on you in the middle of rush hour traffic. Thank god that nothing happened to me or my wife.
Dodge ram 1500 truck just shuts off when braking or turning. You have to put it in neutral and restart it. This is going to cause a serious accident or injury to someone and dodge has not recalled the vehicle. We have seen numerous complaints on the internet about this same problem.we have called our dodge dealer and n one seems to know what to do. It has happened more than once in the past month.
I have the 2004 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi.the truck inconsistently stalls for no reason.sometimes after fueling up the motor will surge and sputter before stalling.most of the time the motor starts right back up only to stall again just a short time later.other times the motor will not restart for several minutes and attempts.it only stalls when travelingbelow 25mph and sitting at idle.i noticed it normally idles around 700rpm, but just before a stall it will dip to 500rpm and feel as it there is a slight miss in the motor.nothing i have tried has fixed this issue and the repair shops have failed to duplicate or diagnose this problem.after checking around i have noticed this seems to be a common problem and i think dodge should do something to fix this.whenever the engine fails i lose steering and brakes.last week it stalled on the interstate with no pull off room and it would not restart for several minutes nearly causing a rear end collision between a big rig and myself.this is a serious safety issue.
I was approaching a road that i was going to make a right turn on, after traveling on a highway at approximately 60 mph.when i had slowed enough to start to make my turn, the truck stalled without warning and i had to complete the turn without power steering to avoid hitting a car waiting to turn at the light.i am a fairly big guy and made the turn without incident but had to really pull on the steering wheel to turn it.if my wife had been driving she would not have been able to make the turn.this happened when the truck had approximately 500 to 1000 miles on it.it never stalled again since then.the truck now has 12000 miles on it.
2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 liter. Last year i took it to the dealer after it stall several times they could not duplicate problem nor did it give them any error code. My truck currently has a noise that sounds like an exhaust leak will take to dealer.
1)left house in morning found while driving down rd truck was blowing white smoke from tailpipe2)truck cuts off due to water leaking into cylinder#13)dealer service dept> found the head gasket was damaged and was amazed with just at 80,000 miles a damaged head gasket in the shape it is looks like it was not seated correctly.
2004 dodge ram 4.7l i was driving my vehicle from school, when without warning the engine stalled! was able to start it up and get it home! my mechanic has just informed me that the computer went out causing a gas buildup in which one of my valves was bent. The truck has 98000miles and as i've read online its very common for this to happen! its very dangerous because when it stalls u have no control! not to mention very frustrating and expensive.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving 10 mph through the woods, the underbody skid plate collected massive amounts ofroad debris which caused a fire underneath the vehicle.this was determined after the contact observed large amounts of smoke and flames from underneath both sides of the underbody. The vehicle was driven to a nearby water hose where the fire was extinguished.there were no injuries were sustained.there was minor fire damage sustained to the remaining underbody and shield.after an extended period of time, the vehicle was driven to the dealer for further inspection who determined the original equipment skid plate on the vehicle was designed by another manufacturer for another type of vehicle.the manufacturer was alerted.a diagnostic test showed a fault with the evaporative emission system.updated 09/05/06.
Egr valvefailure.
Check engine lite keeps coming on. Have taken to dealer 4 different times. Dealer says issue is with o2 sensors. Second time in all sensors and computer replaced. Still is occurring. Dealer said they where bringing in field service tech on 3rd time. Last issue occurred 30 march 05. Dealer is unable to diagnois case of issue.
Truck engine started smoking like it was on fire a big ball of smoke came out of exhaustpeople in the parking lot thought it was on fireas of this time we are waiting for the dealership to replace the engine and exhaust.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.during acceleration and deceleration at any speed, the vehicle would stall and then immediately restart.the engine warning light illuminated on the instrument control panel prior to the failure.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the egr was potentially causing the failure, but was not certain.the vehicle has not been repaired.the failure and current mileages were 73,000.
Second complaint - 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab hemi with 700 miles (i only had for 2 weeks) began stalling so i brought to the dealer for service. They said it was the egr valve and that they would need to order this part on national backorder. They retained my vehicle and have had it for 3 days. I keep calling and they say that they cannot get the part. I have called chrysler customer service and they cannot help. The delaer refuses to swap the part from his inventory because he does not want his inventory disabled, but it is fine with him if my car that i already paid 40k for is disabled. Will write more when i know more.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 liter with 48k miles that has had numerous problems (e.g. Erg valve replaced, power steering reservoir (currently being replaced), and engine stalling at an idle, while turning, while backing up, or coasting. The stalling occurs out of the blue as if someone flipped a switch causing the engine to die. The electrical stays on, just the engine dies. Most of the time it starts right back up but sometimes it takes awhile. The stalling has happened numerous times and is very unpredictable. The stalling began about three - four months ago. I currently have it in for repairs at lee's summit dodge, lee's summit missouri.
Egr malfunction at 29,800 milesjust bought from dealer at 28,500 find it hard to believe an egr valve can fail at this mileage and isn't covered under emissions warranty.
My 2004 dodge ram 1500 w/5.7 hemi has stalled on me twice for no apparent reason. For some reason, i had a hard time getting it to start prior to it stalling on both occassions.

The contact was driving approximately 10 mph and attempting a turn when a portion of the cup holder fractured and caused the contact's drink to fall to the floor while the contact was driving. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to see if the cup holder piece could be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000.
The turn signals, wipers, and high beams on my 04 dodge ram 1500 have been giving me issues for the last year. This started out as an intermittent problem and has gotten worse over time. At first it was just the turn signals. When i would signal left the right blinker would come on, or visa versa. Then sometimes it would work fine, and other times it would not come on at all. It's gotten worse over time and now i am at the point where only when i signal left will the right signal come on; nothing else works. My hazard switch at one time would work the left signal, and the left clicker would work the right signal but now that does not work either. At this point my hazard switch and left clicker now only work the right blinker and i have no way to work the left.as for the high beams, sometimes i am un-able to disengage them which is very dangerous for on-coming traffic. At this point i do not risk it and just don't use them, which can be dangerous to myself at some times.the wipers have a mind of their own. Sometimes when i have them on full speed/fast in heavy rain they will all of a sudden reduce to the lowest or middle setting. Sometimes they will just not turn on at all. I almost got into a major accident because of this and now just avoid driving in the rain if at all possible.
Warped rotors at 9,000 and the front end jumps all over the road making it very dangerous to steer, the dealer resurfaced rotors and then at 13,000 miles it is happening again.we have complain several times about this and got no wear.now that our warranty is up i guess we get stuck replacing the rotors after paying 35,000.00 for our dodge, we are looking for a smaller suv also and will probably not buy another dodge, chrysler,product again. Never had this problem with our tahoe @ over 60,000 miles.i think this is unfair to consumers!please help investagate this matter.p.s. I seen a adv.for dodge 2500 and it said largest brakes in class that is a joke!

Just the other day when i went to go to the store my low beam head lights cameon but when i went to go home, i started the truck and the low beam headlights would not come on and i had to take back streets with only my parking lights. This has been a common problem with dodge trucks and autos for many years.i cannot afford to pay $1000.00 for a computer board when this is a common problem with dodge. After looking on - line, i fund that many of dodge's models but there has been no recall.this is such a common problem that is it not time for the u.s. Government to force dodge to recall all these models and years!it is a safety problem when the lights stop working at night when the auto is being driven.my low beams would not come back on when i returned to the truck to go home so i was not driving the truck but needed to and the lights would not come on when i started it.(xxxx)parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Turn signal, winshield wipers, and speed control has a mind of their own. Half the time not working the rest of the time the when signaling to turn right the right dont work then when signaling left the right side blinks instead of the left. The winshield wipers just randomly swipe sometimes when not even cranked and keys not even in the ignition.
Driving down i-90 one night to work and was pulled over by sheriff. He tells me my running lights are not working and you could not see me. I've tried contacting dodge and im always on hold for like an hour. Can't find problem with lights. Checked all the fuses and relays all of them are fine.
The headlamp on the driver's side went out while driving home. I replaced it with a new one.it would not work.i got a second bulb and tried to replace the light again.still would not work.i took the truck to three different repair shops and none of them could fix it.i was told it might be the fuse box.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.the contact stated that the tail, license plate lights, and brake lights were inoperable.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed him that the fuse box was defective.the manufacturer informed the contact that the part was on back order and it would take thirty days for it to be received.the vehicle was not repaired.the current and failure mileage was 163,000.
Tail lights and park lamps on my 2004 dodge ram keeping failing do to i defect in the power distribution center/fuse box almost caused to get hit by a tractor trailer at night cant even order part because i've been told it's on backorder and dealer keeps denying fault or chrysler wont replace unit this is happening on thousands of 2004 2005 and 2006 dodgerams.
The dash modual that controls the interior lights, dash lights, and interior signals no longer works.the guages work and the signals work but there are no lights. This poses a safety issue because you cannot see your speed, oil, temp, and battery guages. Im not sure when iy went bad, i got into my truck one night and none of my interior lights worked.
Tipm/fcm failure, intermittent turn signals/hazard lights. Turn on left turn signal right signal comes on, other times no signals at all. Problem occures wether in park, driving, with engine off. Extremely common issue that has not been addressed with replacements costing over $400.
About 30 percent of the time, my turn signals and flashers do not indicate the signal i want to give. During those times, when i indicate right it doesn't flash at all. If i indicate left, it indicates right. Also if i put on the hazards, it either corrects the problem or it indicates left. This is very frustrating andprovides a big safety incident on the road. I have noticed that i am not the only person that has had this before as it is a very common occurrence on the web. It increases substantially during the fall and winter months and is almost not existent during the summer months. It also affects my wipers that when i have the lights on i can see that my vehicle is acting up because the wipers are at 1 detent less than what i am trying to provide. This makes it so i can't use the fast wiping position.thanks for your help.
Dodge ram 1500, brake lights stay continuously on without pressing the brake pedal. This happened while being stationary.
First it was fuel light coming on then the engine light started coming on. Got that off then the blown light started coming on change all blown fuses and lights but light wouldn't go out and engine light came back on. Paid to fixed after 1 year it started up all over again.
Left rear brake light was going out intermittently, the "lamp out" light was illuminating on and off as if the bulb was going between working and not working. Changed the light bulb with the recommended 3057 bulb but it didn't fix the problem. Changed the bulb holder but still didn't fix the issues. Checked the fuse but it was good. Finally went under the rear to check if the wiring harness was loose and saw the wires for the rear lamp was pinched against the frame of the vehicle and the wire for the brake lamp was cut. There was really no give to the wiring harness; it was pulled extremely tight. Vehicle has never had any issues and nothing electrical has ever been touched before. The right tail lamp is working fine but the harness for that side was not checked. All wiring is original from factory. Vehicle was bought new from a dodge dealership and we have been the only owners. We feel this is a safety concern if the brake lamps are not working all the time.
The turn signals will show reversed so when you turn on the left blinker, the right blinker will blink and vise-versa, or sometimes the blinkers will not engage at all.sometimes it shows the opposite blinker on the instrument panel and sometimes it doesn't show the blinker on at all.this happens in motion on a city street when changing lanes, in motion while turning, and stationary while waiting to turn.
My parking and tail lights stopped working. , found out this is due to the design flaw of the engine fuse box as the connectors are exposed to the weather elements , thus shorted out the circuit board that sends the a negative signal to the park lamp relay at 86 ,. The cost of therepair is 500.00. Dodge is fully aware of this issue as the replacement now comes with a splash guard plate to help protect the connectors. If you google 2004 dodge ram parking light issue , you will see that a lot of us have this very same problem, they should honor this recall as it can be very dangerous to drive at night with out the taillights,.
Headlightsdriving home from work at 4pm on 12-7-16 and turned my headlights on as i was driving people were honking at me and then i noticed the headlights were out . Went and installed new bulbs and they worked but went out and now their staying out except for the hazard lights!!! i had to have it towed 67 miles home as it's dark and i couldn't see and with the speed limit being 65mph on highway, i couldn't walk.
The complaint i have is related to my 2004 dodge ram 1500.i have experienced the turn signals do not respond accordingly or not at all.if turning left, the right signal would come on, if turning right, the left signal would come on or not at all. This issue has also affected my windshield wipers speed. I no longer have a high speed wiper option.i feel this is an extremely dangerous issue as vehicles behind me or in front of me will not know which way i am turning or switching lanes if the need is there. I have to continuously have to jiggle the steering wheel to get the signals to work.there are several reports of this issue with various years of the dodge trucks and durangos and believe this should be a recall issue.thank you for your time.
2004 dodge ram 1500 i've been complaining since the truck had 90000 miles on it about the headlights going out and not turning back on. I have been told it's the headlight module and i replaced it with a new aftermarket one but the trucks still doing the same thing. I was driving and the headlights went out and i couldn't see and hit a deer at 20mph on a back road . Police were not called because the damage was only the bumper . But if this doesn't get fixed someone could get hurt as without light you can't see to drive and the lights won't come back on. This is just like the ford recall i received for my car...
My vehicles running lights stopped working and i was unable to be seen by other drivers behind me in a snow stormbecause my fuse box just corroded out and stopped working causing the parking lamps relay to fault. Now my vehicle has no running lights working anymoreand dodge did not recall this.
I found out that i don't have a turn signal for the trailer tow on the left side it was later determined that the problem is in the fuse box. Now i can't tow a trailer until the problem is fixed. This could've caused a wreck.i'm not the only person who has this problem.
The right lamps are not receiving the proper current, only receiving current while utilizing the park lamp.no brake, hazard or turn lights. ! using the test light i tested every fuse within the power distribution center which indicated in no failures or blown fuses.yet when utilizing the right blinker the relay has a muffled click that wasbarely audible unlike the left blinker where the relay soundednice and strong with or without the trailer tow harnesses being utilized.upon researchi foundthat this was a very common problem with various years of dodge lam?s. Ii believe that this problem that varies in low or high mileage dodge truck?s needs to be addressed by the manufacturerdue to the vast amount of complaints and queries for the same exact problems. I have been told by the dealer that the problem may be theintegrated power module), $ 300.00 just so happens to control everything including most importantly the air bag system.

The contact owns a 2004 dodger ram 1500. The contact stated that the transparent plastic headlight covering was abnormally becoming foggy from dew and moisture. The failure would cause limited illumination of the roadway when driving at night. The dealer advised that the covers would be cleaned. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 31,008 and the current mileage was 40,000.
Dt:the consumer complained that the headlight dim switch was not functioningon the 2004 dodge 1500 since april 2005.the headlight would stay on bright or dim but not switch.at the same time the windshield washer would not work.the dealer replaced the multifunction switch, but the problem persisted.the vehicle had been back to two different dealers four times, and had the same switch replaced twice, but the problem recurred, but was not constant.the contact wrote to chrysler, but had no satisfaction. Also, on one occasion the vehiclewould not accelerate when attempting to pass another vehicle.at that time, the cruise control would not work, and the headlights would not come on. This problem had not recurred, but the dealer had no explanation or solution.(11/17/05)*sc
While driving at 55 mph at night consumer's vehicle was involved in a collision due to the poor brightness of the headlights. Thehigh beams were not bright enough. Dealership indicated toconsumer, the vehiclewas operating as designed.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.since the end of may 2009, the turn signals have not been displaying the correct signal light.if the passenger side blinker is activated, the driver's side blinker displays on the exterior rearview mirror and vice versa.the vehicle was repaired, but the contact feels that this is a safety issue because near crashes have occurred.the failure mileage was 64,095.
2004 ram 1500 directional malfunctioned.when the right turn signal was activated the left turn signal illuminated.
Activated the left turn signal, and the right turn signal lamps illuminated (flashed) instead of the left side.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that when activating the left turns signal, the right turn signal would activate erroneously.the vehicle was not taken to the dealer nor was the manufacturer notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 92,000.

Turn signal malfuctioned attributed to the front control module according to chrysler star representative.the dealer was not able to reproduce the failure and was returning my vehicle to me .this is a "known" problem that the dealer was not prepared or able to diagnose.according to rick at chryser star support desk the front control module p/n 56051036ad has a known problem.i was only able to find tthis out after calling chrysler customer service and insisting that the dealer call their star support desk and open an incident.the rep at the support desk immediately told jesse the service tech that the front control module had a known problem.the intermittent failure created a safety hazard on the highway by not funtioning at all or malfunctioning by indicating a right hand turn signal when the lever was in the left hand turn position.
2004 dodge ram 1500 hemi.after fueling the engine stalls, but will start backup up fine but for the next 30-60 miles it will stall at lights.luckily i have not hit anyone yet but a few trees.and the dealer is no help, still under warranty.
In the fall of last year the check engine light came on in my 2004 dodge ram 1500.the code that came up was misfire in cylinder 8.i took it to a mechanic and they said it was the fuel injector which they replaced.a few days later after getting my truck back the light came on again.this time the code was misfire in cylinder 6.i took it to a very trusted mechanic who stated it was a rocker arm that had come off due to junk in the engine.once it was fixed again the light came on saying misfire in cylinder 8.the mechanic said it was the rocker arm on that cylinder and replaced it.this happened 4 more times in the next month.the mechanic, who is very reputable, believes this is a manufacturing defect that will continue to occur no matter how often it is repaired.he also stated he has seen this in many many dodge trucks and most notably in the 474 engine.it is an engine and safety issue due to loss of throttle which occurs very often when the problem is on going and is definite risk of causing an auto accident.this code is coming up every other day now and i believe it needs to be recalled.
Dodge has a known history of fueling problems causing gasoline to flow out of the filling tube while at a pump.this is a hazard cause by their poor venting components.check the internet and see the number of complaints about this.i've never heard of this with other manufacturers, but with dodge it's a familiar occurrence.
My truck stalls as i come to a stop. This happens probably about 4 times a month since the date above. The dealership hasn't been able to find the problem. I have read on forums online that a ton of other people are having the same problem. Some say it has to do with erg valve and it should be recalled. They said they replace the egr valve and the problem is fixed.
After refueling the vehicle, it stalls several times when braking, slowing down, or at idle.this always occurs in colder weather months.
My 2004 dodge 1500 ram truck has a defective valve on the fuel tank . Dodge told me the entire fuel tank needs to be changed to the tune of about $900!however, dodge does not have any fuel tanks & i'd be # 83 on a wait list!!!in the meantime, i cannot fill my tank with gas !!!i called dodge 800 # three weeks ago, but have still not heard back.local dealers are not helpful either.
I don't remember the exact date or mileage as the first failure's were low in frequency. The truck dies after filling up with fuel. You can be up to speed but normally happens shortly after fill up and entering traffic. No trouble lights are showing on the dash and truck normally starts back up fairly easily, although sounds flooded. Now the truck does this at almost every fill up. No code diagnostics are showing. I have replaced the egr and spark plugs, no change.
Vehicle stalls after a gas fill-up. Dealer had filled the vehicle up and it stalled repeatedly for about 10 miles and then was fine. The next time i filled it up it stalled repeatedly again. I returned it to dealer for repair. They replaced the charcoal canisters and purge valve solenoid. After the next fill up it did not stall.however, after the second fill-up it started missing at highway speeds and then stalled on an exit/entry ramp of short curvature and had to be hurriedly restarted while turning at high speed.this is a definite safety issue and should be a recall.social media is rampant with this issue with dodges.not filling the tank with gas is not a solution to this problem as some would suggest. This needs to be rectified!!!
I filled up all the way until the pump clicked at the gas station and then upon pulling out of the gas station the truck stalled into traffic while leaving the gas station. Less than a mile later i had to stop for a red light and truck stalled again. I bought the truck on 2/9/13 and the issue occurred on 2/11/13. I took it to the dealership but because a code was not thrown it is my issue to deal with. I have avoided topping off at the pump and have to watch the amount of gallons of fuel i put inorder not to have the same situation occur again. This is not a valid fix in my opinion. I can see the situation exists with other owners of the same year of this vehicle as well. Why is this not being addressed?!?!?
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, the vehicle would only allow him to add one dollar worth of gas at a time in order to prevent the gasoline from spewing back out from the filler tune. The manufacturer was contacted in regards to the failure and informed the contact that he possibly would need to replace the fuel tank. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who informed him that he would need to replace the fuel tank as well, but was unsure if it would correct the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 crew cab 5.7l hemi 2wd and it continues to stall every now and then at low speeds or at a complete stop. Vehicle will start right up with no problem but battery gauge takes a few seconds to rise to operating levels. Transmission also feels like it wants to slip at time of stall. Had engine and trans changed, battery and alternator checked out okay as well. Did some research and found that a lot of incidents happen after vehicle transmission ha been serviced or transmission fluid is low; other individuals who have experienced this problem have said they had the erg valve, tps sensor, map sensor and even software. I don't know what the problem is but you end up spending hundreds of dollars trying to figure this out. I don't know why chrysler doesn't address this issue.
My 2004 dodge ram 1500 pick up with a 5.7 liter engine began to stall upon braking and coming to a stop. The engine would lose rpm and die (stall)leaving me with no brakes or steering. It would restart easily but occur again frequently.took the vehicle to a repair shop and after extensive and expensive diagnosis was found to have a failing throttle body and associated electrical failure. A new throttle body was obtained from dodge (different part number from original) and installed. Total cost for the work was approximately $2,500.00. My research shows that this problem is extensive in this model and is dangerous.
Truck began to overheat when stopping for more than a few minutes. Taken to the shop and they replaced cooling fan motor and temperature sensor. Three weeks later it did the same thing and all parts we're replaced again. This time it has lasted for six months but truck has begun to overheat again.
When braking, the vehicle engine stalls as i slow down. The issue was intermittent, but now happens each time i break. I have to pull over with no power steering and restart the vehicle in p or n. Sometimes, i have to wait a few minutes before it will let me restart.
Check engine light is on. Strong smell of gas when vehicle is shut off. Vehicle stalls at slow speeds. Can't tell the engine quit as the rpms bottom out and engine dies. Very dangerous for driving. No control after the engine stops. This happened twice today. First time was in traffic in a town at a stop light. Couldn't restart the engine for awhile and couldn't get the truck out of traffic. Second time slowed to turn around in a driveway entrance and backed up when i came to a stop to shift to d the engine stalled and i didn't know it. My truck was at an angle crossing 2 lanes of traffic. Luckily, i was able to get it restarted. I googled the problem and it seems to be very common and dangerous with limited success on finding a repair solution.
Unable to fill gas tank because of defect in gas tank.. It appears that a roll over safety item, designed to cut off fuel from pouring out of the filler pipe, malfunctioned and caused the fuel pipe to be blocked at the tank. This is an expensive repair, as the gas tank, fuel pump and sending unit need to be replaced, i called chrysler and lodged a complaint, and was told there are no recalls or service bulletins for this problem.
I have a 2004 dodge 5.7 l 4x4 i have noticed that when i run the truck down to "e" and refill it to full the truck will stall when coming to a hard stop. The rpm goes up and down between 1000 and 2000 rpm. This only happens once after i fill the truck. I have looked on the inter net (edmonds/car "dodge trucks stalling problems" and have located other thesame problem. I also have a friend with the same truck and he is having the same issues. There are no codes or dash board lights coming on after it stalls. I am taking to a dealer to have it looked at and i asked if there were any reports of this truck stalling and they never heard of any. If you have had any complaints like this please let me know. Thank you for your time. P.s. I got this truck used.
Dt:at certain speeds the truck is choking down, not getting enough gas.at time the vehicle operates as if it's not getting enough fuel.the gas mileage has also been drastically reduced.
My 2004 dodge ram1500v8 5.7 l engine 2wd stalls at intersections in cold temperatures.also at times when the accelerator pedal is pressed there is no rmp increase. The stalling is extremely dangerous as i am at an intersection, i have to quickly restart the engine and hopefully not get rearended. I first noticed this problem at approximately 60k.i talked to my mechanic who informed me that there was a fuel system problem with dodge 2003 and 2004 1500 v8 5.7 l engines for trucks.he directed me to a web site were i discovered several sub sites with people describing the same problems i am experiencing.engine stalling in cold temperatures at intersections with their 2003 and 2004 dodge ram 1500 v8 5.7l engines.some of them did get into crashes unable to avoid getting rearended.i was also informed by my mechanic that both 2wd and 4wd trucks with the 1500 v8 5.7 l engines had this fuel system problem.my truck stalling is numerous daily, some times 2 or 3 times in the morning on the way to work, and again 2 or 3 times on the way home.what i have discovered is if i allow the engine to warm up, approximately 10 minutes, i won't stall.to be safe from getting rearended it's best i waste a little gas each time i start the engine.my mechanic also informed me that the problem has to do with an improper throttle body.the repair would be to remove the improper throttle body and install a proper throttle body.i did contact my dodge dealership and talked to the service manager, (who shall not be named per your request), who informed me that there was no recall on my vin number, of my truck, but would not tell me if their were any recalls on any 2003 or 2004 dodge ram 1500 v8.5.7 l engines for an improper throttle body causing stalling in cold temperatures when coming to a stop at an intersection.i am going to pay my deductible at the dealership and get my truck safe, but i also want to be reimbursed.this is unsafe and should be recalled.thank you!
Went to fill my vehicle tank and gas began to suddenly flow out of filler hose.after removing and visually inspecting the filler hose and removing other hoses during testing it was determined that a replacement tank was needed.the on-board refueling vapor recovery (orvr) valve stopped working.after consulting a dealership with the details it was confirmed a new tank was needed.while placing an order for the tank, i was told from a few dealerships that i was on the waiting list.after another call from a local dealership i was told i am number 85 on back order list to receive a new fuel tank and that was just from his dealership.he quoted " they have no eta on that tank.right now they are working on trucks that are vor concern from other dealers first. Just wanted to keep you informed."between fuel spitting out of vehicle, taking 15 minutes to put only 10 gallons into tank, and most of all a large back order number.i am wondering or requesting a recall to be possibly placed.the orvr valve can not be replaced do to being plastic welded to the fuel tank.
Truck lost all power, throttle lamp blinking. Stalled on roadway, would start but would not give throttle to move the truck. Turned key off then back on a few times and would let me apply throttle for a few seconds, then back to no power. I did this a few times just to get off the roadway. There is no throttle cable so it is a computer controlproblem.
700 origianl miles - pin connections(1st shop i took it to said it was reading a transmisstion error, but couldn't fix it); 6000 miles-fuel pump and map sensor; 8000 miles-transmission controller.this has left me stranded, and i've had to have it towed twice.
Rear axle noise.repeatedly reported to service department.failure and complete replacement of rear axle.transmission will not temporally not engage after vehicle sits for a long period.increasing engine rpms will engage transmission.vehicle lost substantial power while operating in mid western states of montana and wyoming.still loss of power noticed upon returning to ct.
My dodge quadcab hemi began vibrating excessively at around 750 miles and the engine light came on.i called the dealership and they said as long as the light wasn't blinking, it was safe to drive.however, they recommended that i pull into the closest dealership to get it checked out to make sure it was safe to drive the hour i had to go to get home.by the time i got to the dealership, the truck was stalling and blowing blue smoke out the back with a strong gasoline smell.after a week of waiting, it was finally determined that the fuel injectors leaked fuel into the engine.they have discussed replacing the long block, but say that it is a restricted item and they have to pull one off the assembly line and don't know when that will happen.i am still waiting to find out when i may get my truck back.i asked them to just replace the truck since it is so new, but they say at the dealership that it between me and chrysler and the tx lemon laws.i've had no luck even getting a response from chrysler. *la
Just caught fire burned up common problem lots of fires
When the gas tank on this truck is filled to capacity, the truck will stall when making a left hand turn. The truck cannot be filled to the "full" mark. If it is it will stall when making a left hand turn. This has happened many times. The only way to avoid it is to not fill the gas tank completely full.
I have two issues which i believe are related.the anti rollover valve in the fuel tank is sticking preventing fuel from entering the tank properly and bubbling back up the filler tube.this happens whenever you attempt to put in fuel and has resulted in multiple fuel spills.the second issue is after a fill up the truck may stall 4-5 times while at idle at stop lights or even while rolling resulting in loss of power steering, power brakes and no advanced warning.both issues have multiple occurrences.i repaired my fuel tank by adding an auxiliary anti-rollover valve and plumbing it into the existing evap connections.this after the dealer refused to warranty the tank even though some models have been recalled and this does have a bulletin published.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while refueling, the shut-off valve engaged before the fuel tank was filled to capacity. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the fuel tank would have to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Every time i get gas i pull out on to the road and it goes dead after about 30 seconds it'll crank back up ..has just about gotten me killed several times.
The contact owns a 2004 ford ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to refuel, the fuel failed to properly dispense into the tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving at 50 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted after a few minutes and was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Attempted to fill my gas tank.the fuel kept overflowing.i was only able to get $15 in gas as i had to slowly pump, wait for the overflow of gas to stop, then slowly attempt to add more gasoline.this took almost 15 minutes.the only reason i kept trying to get more gas in was the truck was on empty.in reviewing other similar complaints online, regarding this issue and with this vehicle, the symptoms are that of a faulty onboard refueling recovery valve.this problem creates many hazards with fuel and vapors not being contained.
Fuel tank strap failed due to rust - tank dragged - 2004 not covered under the recall that included 2009 - 2012. It should be included because everything they said could happen, did. Paid $249.54 to repair at dealership. Freehold dodge - freehold, nj
The truck stalls at stops and turns after fuel fill up
As stated in other complaints, the vehicle will stall after slowing down at intersection of driving in heavy traffic.if you ride the brake and gas, you can keep from stalling.this incident started to happen after a smell of gas vapor smell after filling tank.researched stalling and gas smell, was led to other scalp notice for hemi gas tank due to ethanol gas causing the rollover valve in the gas tank to expand and not close.when you fill the tank you get liquid gas in the purge vapor canister and line.this giving you the gas smell upon filling.i have stopped filling the tank past 3/4 and have not had the issue since.kind of disappointed that other hemi models gas tanks were recalled, but not the truck even though it has the same issue.
This has been happening at every fill up.once i fill the tank, for approximately 20 or so miles after the fillup, my truck tries to stall if i don't rev the engine up really high.. At stop lights or turns, it will stall completely.i have also had to stall on the interstate at speed!once i drive 20 or so miles it stops.i have heard from many owners that it has something to do with a fuel vent or something.apparently this is quite a common problem that should be looked into.thank you for your time
Engine stalls at all speeds on an interstate while going 75 mph with no control of steering due to lost of power steering or brakes. Sometimes it will restart of sometimes it doesn't right away but after about thirty minutes it will restart. This is also true of parking lots and city streets. With no codes or engine check light to refer to.
The truck stalls at idle or low speeds after refueling. It happens every time. It is dangerous because the power steering goes out and the truck is very difficult to control. It has happened as i am entering off-ramps and proceeding through intersections. The problem is the vapor/liquid separator valve located at the top of the fuel tank. The valve is designed to prevent liquid fuel from entering the charcoal canister/emissions system. When the valve fails, liquid gas can enter the line and fill the charcoal canister. After refueling, the pcm on the vehicle detects a change in fuel level. Then, when the engine meets certain temperature and driving criteria, the pcm issues a purge command to the charcoal canister to remove the stored gas vapors. It?s at that point that all the liquid gas in the line gets sucked into the charcoal canister. The pcm expects to see gas vapors entering the intake manifold and it is prepared to adjust air/fuel mixtures to compensate. However, it is not prepared to see liquid gas coming into the intake. That?s what causes the engine to stall.unfortunately, the only fix is to replace the entire gas tank. Chrysler does not sell the vapor/liquid valve as a separate unit. Once the tank is replaced and the charcoal canister purged, the problem goes away.this problem is well-known to chrysler across a broad range of vehicles, including pickups, minivans and suvs. Chrysler settled with complainants on some models and years by agreeing to extend the warranty to lifetime, but refuses to acknowledge the problem outside of those vehicles. I am looking at a $1,300 repair bill for a known defective and unsafe part, the replacement for which chrysler refuses to sell separate from the gas tank itself. I would be deeply grateful for any assistance you may provide.
I bought an 04 ram 1500 5.7 hemi that had around 80k miles on it when i bought it in oct 2010. It was awesome the first and a half i had it, only minor repairs i.e battery, idler pulley, ignition switch. I did regular maintenance on it as well as oil changes. In late march 2012 i went to put gas in my truck and it would not let me put more than 10 or 15 cents in before it would "back fill" i was trying to figure out what the problem could be with that, then in early april 2012 i was driving home after running some errands, the truck had run great all day just like normal, but about 8 miles from house i hear this "thunk" and i have no power and i had this awful shaking and rattling noise. There were not even any warning lights telling we that there was something wrong, i called someone to tow it home that night. I did thankfully have another car to drive. In the months since i have been slowly tearing the engine apart with my dad, this week we finally pulled the heads and discovered that my # 6 piston was completely disintegrated and had punched a hole in my block! my original thought was that this was just a random fluke and it was just mine, but after reading on some dodge forums i see that it was not just mine!this is ridiculous for an engine that has no more miles than this and had been properly maintained. My parents have a 1999 ford f150 that has almost 300k on it and has not been maintained nearly as well... As my dad puts it "it has been run hard and put up wet" this engine has run like a champ! it even still has the original battery in it! there are many more reports of this happening to this engine both in the durango with that year hemi as well as the ram on this forum http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1dd4b2/270.
A whining sound started coming from somewhere on the vehicle approx 30 min before the rear end exploded locking the vehicle up and causing the drive shaft to fly across two lanes of heavy holiday traffic. Thank the lord no one was injured or accident was caused due to this failure of a loose pinion nut on the drive shaft. I had it towed to the closest dealership who said it will cost over 4500 dollars not including car rental to get it repaired, the dealer said they contacted the mfg. And they said it was not under the recall. This is a serious and dangerous problem. This vehicle has been dealer maintained since new and should not have experienced this issue without a recall or warning.
First it was fuel light coming on then the engine light started coming on. Got that off then the blown light started coming on change all blown fuses and lights but light wouldn't go out and engine light came back on. Paid to fixed after 1 year it started up all over again.
While filling tank fuel kicks back shutting off pump handle. Apparent orvr valve problem requiring entire fuel tank replacement. Seems to be fairly common problem on dodge trucks.
I purchased this 2004 dodge on january 5th 2015. I was to return on january 7th to have different tires & rims installed. On the way i stopped and filled the gas tank. Afterwards every stop sign i came to the vehicle stalled out. It started right back up but continued to stall at every stop sign. The mechanic at redding truck & auto diagnosed that the crank sensor was bad and replaced it at no charge. It ran fine until i filled the gas tank again and started having the same problems with it stalling out. So now if i fill the tank it will stall out until i drive it for several miles or until i run some of the gas out of the tank. I was told not to fill the tank which is not a fix for this problem.
For a few weeks i would occasionally smell gas fumes. I had the truck visually inspected and the mechanic could find nothing wrong. Then one day i filled the tank. When the tank was full, instead of the pump shutting off the pump began pouring gas onto the ground. This time they dropped the tank to find that the metal collar on top of the tank had rusted away causing the fuel pump to pop up half out of the tank. That was the reason the pump had not shut off . Gas was flowing out of the top of the tank!!. The mechanic told me that if the fuel pump connection had shorted out with the top of the tank open the way it was ,me and anyone in the truck would have been blown up!!!. This was a very poor design on chrysler's part that has the potential to kill people.
When i fill up i smell and see fuel on top of tank. This is a major safety issue. Have read many complaints online
I was driving my 2004 dodge ram 1500 on the highway when my truck stopped running. Found the fuel pump was no good. I have been an auto mechanic for years and this is very dangerious! i had it towed to the garage daves auto on madison ave told me the fuel pump was no good also the fuel tank is no good the ring on top of the fuel tank is rotten the "tabs that hold the fuel pump in is rotten" and where the fuel pump sits on the fuel tank is like in a well so when it rains the water on top of the gas tank sits in the fuel pump location has no where to drain and my thery is that is what rotts the fuel pump bracket on the fuel tank! and they said it is not safe i had to get a new fuel tank. I called multipul used auto parts supply companys and every single one who had a gas tank had the same problem was rotten. So i called the dealer scap dodge of fairfield,ct they have 68 people waiting on back order fuel tanks and they are over $800.00 redicules.so can you imagine across the country how many people are driving around with a bomb waiting to explode!!!! this is a safty hazzard because any one will tell you that if this faulty fuel tank is rotten gas fuems will escape and cause an explotion or fire even death if the vehical is in an accedent te fuel will leak every where this really should be a recall im scared to drive this and everyone should be to!!!! i really hope you look in to this problem any information you need i have photos if you need them you can contact me asap! thank you josh e
Dodge 1500 stalls at slowing down.same problem as reported in multiple postings here.very dangerous situation.
Stalls at every stop after re fueling
My truck was parked at work and at the end of the day it wouldn'tstart. Had it towed home and i determined that the fuel pump failed. The next day i lifted the bed to replace it and i was shocked to see the whole top of the tank's locking ring tangs were all rusted away and the pump was just sitting in the tank crooked. If it was filled full or in an accident fuel would've slooshed out of the tank. On a rollover the entire tank will empty.
Just like everyone else who owns a dodge,i went to fuel up the truck and it went all over the ground rather than in the tank...took it to the dealer...check valve bad...need new tank....never buy dodge again..
We were driving on the highway 55 mph and heard a noise while exiting and we thought we hit a large hole. Before we reached the end of the off ramp traveling at approximately 50 mph but giving the truck some gas to accelerate we heard a very loud pop and it felt like something hit the bottom of the truck.we pulled off to side and checked under the truck to see the slip yolk and u joint of the driveline were broken and the flange nut on rear end was backed off and the rear end was shattered. Also the fuel vapor recovery lines were broke from the slip yolk and u joint breaking. Is this issue related to recall number 14v79600
Sometimes when driving the vehicle rpms rev and down the a light on dash comes on.the light symbol looks like a lighting bolt with two lines one in each side of lighting bolt. Switch truck off and restart the light goes off and truck runs fine. It might not do it again a day or sometimes a week or so.
Takata recall.i have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab.i am having issue finding mopar-oem bell crank part# 53032456 ae.if you go to the dealer in elk grove ca, they are on back order 270.or on the morpar website they are on back order too.when driving the vehicle the truckhas ( ) with a lighting volt. You loose all powerand the truck stays at high idle about 1800 rpms. Difficult braking when this happens. Thetransmission shutters.
Engine stalls when driving at low speed and when in idle. This started happening approximately 3 years ago. Check engine has never turned on.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle emitted a strong fuel odor. The contact replaced the spark plugs and noticed that the vehicle fuel tank leaked fuel when it was full. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle was not included on any recalls. The failure and current mileage was 40,000.
Fuel tank has metal tabs to lock fuel pump in position. Water can collect with road salts to eat away the locking tabs which allows the fuel to leak out next to hot exhaust which can cause fire. When filling fuel tank the fuel will seep out because the locking tabs no longer hold the pump in place. This leaked fuel can cause fire, and allow fuel to pool under the vehicle causing fuel spills.
When filling my gas tank at any station at any time of year, while filling my gas tank will continuously puke gas back up the filler tube all over the ground, this is a huge issue among many dodge vehicles.it's unsafe and to fix it you have to replace the entire gas tank. This happens no matter what, truck on, truck off.
While driving my 2004 dodge ram 1500 while turning at approx 5 miles per hour the car stalled out this has now happened on various occasions. There is no code and several repair shops don t have a clue what to fix and just want to start replacing parts.
After filling gas tank full, engine dies when braking and turning a corner (losing steering) and coming to a stop.starts back up fine, but stalls again on next low speed braking or turning a corner.very similar to other accounts that i have read.i've had new plugs and o2 sensors costing mucho for zero result.when this occurs slowing down to make a slow turn, i have to throw it up to neutral to restart.once i threw it in park going slowly, but it was dangerous to screech to a halt with a car behind me almost rear ended me.i've been told the same crap by dealers about this and i know they are playing dumb.the only remedy thati use for this is similar to others which is just don't fill it all the way up unless you are getting right out on the highway to run those speeds and not be stopping.i can't let others drive my truck unless i make sure that the tank is below three quarters of a tank.i can't believe that there's not a quick and dirty fix for this.seems like you should disable emissions devices in the interest of safety.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 when i get gas and fill up until the pump clicks (i do not top off tank) then upon pulling out of the gas station my truck stalls. If i stop for a red light truck stalls again and it continues to stall every now and then at low speeds, at a complete stop, when braking, slowing down, or at idle and last until i run some gas out of it (about 10 miles or so). Vehicle will start right up with no problem but battery gauge takes a few seconds to rise to operating levels. Transmission also feels like it wants to slip at time of stall.i took it to the dealership but because a code was not thrown it is my issue to deal with (have to drop the gas tank and replace a sensor in the overflow tube $500 plus dollars- which i do not just have lying around). I have avoided topping off at the pump and have to watch the amount of gallons of fuel i put in order not to have the same situation occur again. This is not a valid fix in my opinion. I can see the situation exists with other owners of the same year of my vehicle as well. Why is this not being addressed?!?! this is ridiculous and not to mention very frustrating and dangerous. I have my 3 children in the car with me most of the time and i cringe every time it happens just praying we donot get hit.

While driving 30 mph hatchback window shattered. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
15v-313 we have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 that has all the issues i've read on here for complaints. The wind shield wipers only work on the highest setting and when turned off stop wherever on the windshield when you turn the switch to shut them off, the engine seems to be leaking oil some place, have had to replace both front wheel hub assembelies, rear end has foam in the fluid, im guessing from reading this that my rear axel is about to fly out from underneath my teuck while driving by the way it sounds and slips, and now a recall on air bags. I fear everytime i drive behind the wheel of my truck and by the sounds of it after reading all these complaints that there is good reason to fear for my life. How many people have to die before something is done. These vehicles should not be made available to drive if there this dangerous. Sounds like chrysler should be buying these trucks back so all there customers dont have to risk there lives driving down the road in a poor designed vehicle the produced. Not sure why there allowed to keep them on the streets being so dangerous to drive. Our truck has every problem that people have complained about on here but yet only has one recall when looked up by vin. Why is that?
Trucks transfer case housing cracked and leak fluid while driving about 55 mph on the highway heading home. Truck was in two wheel drive. Which there is a recall for that we never knew about.
I was traveling on roadway there was a loud bang, truck skidded to stop and would not move.truck had to be towed, appears the rear differential pinion shaft has snapped off. The truck is currently parked in a snow bank until i can evaluate what needs repaired/replaced. There have haven been numerous complaints and recalls on dodge differentials, i can assume due to the numerous complaints of the clutch pack retainer clips failing that they failed causing shock load to the ring and pinion gears and therefore snapping the pinion shaft and wedging pinion gear and ring gear. This truck only has 80,000 miles on it has never been abused, off roaded or done any heavy towing, had something like this happened at interstate speeds and or towing a trailer it would have been catastrophic.
Truck started stalling a few weeks ago for my wife. I finally had the chance to drive it and it fell flat on its face. My entire family was almost put into a telephone pole at 45 mph since the truck lost all power. This time it didn't stall it just ran with no acceleration and held at 4,000 rpms. Extensive attempts for cooperation by dealership and daimler chrysler have led me to believe i bought a really expensive coffin. I established the tsb codes w/ both and was left hansen high and dry. I got that " sure we'll help, here' s a new truck but we can't pay off yours even though we sold it to you." and the" we're not responsible for this even though we acknowledge the problem is our fault." i will not purchase a dodge vehicle again. Shame on dodge!!!! i don't really blame the dealership, but they themselves should have checked all this with the truck before selling it to me. Daimler chrysler representatives who decided this isn't a problem should be made should be punished by law to drive these faulty vehicles until they are injured or killed. Maybe then these problems will be repaired.
The pinion nut has loosened up and that caused the driveshaft to become unstable and it has caused problems that have to be changed such as (crush slave, inner and outer bearings,spacers, and pinion nut) all have to be replaced.this same issue happened to the 2005 dodge ram and they recalled those trucks just not the year of mine. I was driving my truck when this happened and it could have been extremely dangerous for my family and i and others on the road way if the driveshaft became unattached or the rear-endlocked up on me.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 20 mph, a clunky sound emitted from the rear of the vehicle. The contact had to maneuver to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the drive shaft was twisted and the pinion was fractured. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 149,577.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact heard a noise coming from the rear of the vehicle when the accelerator pedal was released. While traveling approximately 45 mph, the driveshaft fractured causing the rear differential tolock up. As a result, the rear of the vehicle dragged. The contact had to apply extreme force to control the vehicle and pull it over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was excluded from nhtsa campaign numbers: 03v503000 (power train) and 14v796000 (power train). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
The truck stalls at idle or low speeds after refueling. It happens every time. It is dangerous because the power steering goes out and the truck is very difficult to control. It has happened as i am entering off-ramps and proceeding through intersections. The problem is the vapor/liquid separator valve located at the top of the fuel tank.

The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact was traveling 35 mph when the vehicle began exhibiting an abnormal grinding. The vehicle was towed to their mechanic where the contact was informed that the rear differential was failing. The dealer was contacted and advised that the failure was common for his year, make and model between 75,000 and 100,000 miles. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 93,000.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving 60 mph, the contact heard a loud abnormal banging noise. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and noticed oil leaking under the vehicle and that the drive shaft was missing. The vehicle was towed to normandin chrysler jeep dodge ram fiat (900 capital expressway auto mall, san jose, ca 95136) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed a new drive shaft. The dealer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was contacted and was unable to assist. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 171,000.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately at 60 mph when the vehicle's driver shaft disconnected causing both rear wheels to lock. The contact lost control of the vehicle. The contact was able to get the vehicle to come to a stop and had the vehicle towed to the home. The contact stated that after looking at the vehicle they found that the pinons on the drive shaft were loose. The contact contacted the hayes chrysler dodge dealer and informed the contact that there were no recalls relating to the rear axel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
I now having problems with rear end for the 4th time since i got this truck. I paid to have repaired first time. 3 months later it went again. Dodge dealer gave hard time but they found it defective again. Fixed. Only a year and 1/2 later it is going again. I only put 18000 miles on this last one. I need to know what can be done to fix the rear in my ram truck. It is too expensive to pay out of my pocket. 4 times? never had that with a ford. Problem is i need the truck and fixed income and can't pay dealers to keep fixing the rear. Help. I need to know if there is anything i can do about this problem as it goes back to shop on july 31.the dodge people say i am out of any warranty. I can't afford a new truck either. The dates listed is close to when this last issue started. It does not reflect back when the others first started but about 2 or 3 years now since first rear went.
Vehicle suddenly began making a loud droning sound while going around a corner on residential streets, reminiscent of an airplane flying overheard or a semi truck's "jake brake." the sound stopped after the vehicle straightened out. On the next two corners, the droning sound repeated, and vibration was also felt coming through the floorboards, but the sound went away after straightening the vehicle out. After the second corner, the vehicle accelerated to about 20 mph. There was a sudden loud bang. Both back wheels locked up immediately, as evidenced by the skid marks on the road. The driveline also disconnected from the rear differential at that time, leaving a trail of oil on the road.the mechanic who inspected and repaired the vehicle indicated that the nut securing the pinion gear had come loose, allowing the pinion to move out of its correct location. The result was that the axles to both rear tires locked up.it appears that similar issues related to pinion nuts loosening have been found on many other vehicles of this make and model. Recalls were issued for over 250,000 dodge ram 1500 vehicles from the 2005 model year to correct an issue with the nut on the pinion. Over 250,000 additional dodge/chrysler vehicles from the 2009 to 2012 model years were also recalled for a pinion nut issue.
Rear axle seized, caused driveshaft to detach.
While driving down the road the left front headlight would give out at random times brought to dealer and was diagnosed as fcm (later found out by another mechanic that it was a loose connector at the tipm issue was also the same exact thing on our work truck a 2004 dodge ram 3500 dually). The main safety issue is with the power rack and pinion, it has given out twice on the road in heavy traffic, the fix the first time was a complete replacement of the power rack and pinion system. The second time, the replacement of inner tie rod seals. Another computer issue was brought in for loss of power to whole truck at random times, cruise control failing, power surges. Unit replaced twice in one year to correct the problem.
Driving on a 3 lane heavily trafficked road, and all of a sudden my drive shaft falls out of my truck. This locked my wheels up, started shaking my truck violently. I was extremely lucky that someone was not directly behind or adjacent of me because it would've resulted in a sure collision.
Driving at approximately 40 mph in heavy traffic slowed by road construction a grinding noise started at therear end of the truck. Approximately 5 seconds later and a loud pop the truck began shaking . I veeredto the shoulder of the road barely getting it off the road . Looking under the truck found the driveshaftseparated from the differential with the u joint a yoke still attached to the driveshaft .i had the truck towedto my residence on a rollback tow truck because the rear end was locked up. I searched online for anyonethat might had this happen to them and found a recall from chrysler for this very same problem. I contacteda local dealer who told me my vehicle had no recalls on it . I also contacted chrysler corp who told methe same thing . I need this truck back on the road as soon as possible but would like to know if this is adefect and their recall should include my truck . Thanks

2004 ram 1500 5.7 hemi stalls at low engine speeds, often at stop signs, traffic lights, or parking lot maneuvers. Will usually start immediately back up, sometimes requires slight accelerator pressure when cranking in order to obtain self-sustaining engine speed. During decelerations, engine rpm is erratic and will often encounter a drop in rpms to approximately 400 rpm before engine dies. Issue seems to be more common when engine is cold, but has occured under all conditions. This has been a persistent problem for about 1.5 years, happening anywhere from once a day to a dozen times. Multiple dealerships and mechanics have looked at this, without result. The computer has been updated, the sensors, egr valve, and intake manifold cleaned, and the throttle body has been replaced. Still not fixed. Vehicle has been well maintained . This is an expensive, dangerous, and frustrating condition.having 3 kids in the car at any given time also adds to my frustration.
Engine stalls upon breaking. This is an intermittent problem. Loss of complete power going 45 mph , all 4 breaks locked up on there own, vehicle restarted on it's own. Sometimes does not want to restart. Check engine light does not come on , nor throw codes.over the past 3 years this has happened apx 50 times. No warning leading up to complete loss of power.parts already replaced include: fuel pump, crankshaft position sensor and ignition switch. None of which have resolved the issue.
Upon returning home from a round trip of about 120 miles a large puddle of oil was located in the driveway was noticed under the rear differential of the vehicle. A large metal part had ripped a hole in the differential cover causing the oil to leak out. The metal part was still sticking out of the cover. I brought the vehicle in to a local shop and it was discovered the clip retaining the gears onto the carrier in the differential had come loose and been thrown through the cover, and all the fluid leaked out. The entire differential had to be rebuilt for almost $1,800 at my own expense. Then about a year later chrysler did a recall on the same issue, but i was told my truck was not included in the recall, with no explanation. This is not acceptable and i expect to be reimbursed for my out of pocket costs, as well as having the recall done to keep from having the same thing happen again.
Rear end locked up while driving due to pinion nut backing off. Destroying the rear end.
2004 dodge truck extra cab 1500 has problems of stalling while driving.*mrthe dealer flashed the pcm but that did not keep the vehicle from stalling.while driving up a slight grade the consumer heard a clunking noise from the transmission when it went into overdrive.the dealer test drove the vehicle but could not duplicate the problem.

I was driving and was hearing a whining noise from the rear differential. I took it in for a service. During the service the shop found a chipped tooth so because the truck was under warranty the shop was nice and only charged me the time to pull the cover. I took it to a loyal dealer and it took a week to fix because i was needing my vehicle to go on a planned vacation the next week.then at 73000 and a year later the trucks diff started to make a whining noise again and i called the local dealer again and they told me that i was out of warranty and it was going to cost me $2600.00. So i called around and 4 wheel drive parts gave me a better price so i had them change the gear ratio (4.56) and put an after market lsd (auburn locker) and now i am schedule to take the truck in again because it is making noise again at 95777 miles.just sick of the problem and not looking forward to the possibility of the diff seizing and putting my family in danger or possible death. $ wheel drive parts told me that the chyrsler 9.25 diff is a very bad diff and they recommended me to switch it out to a dana 60 because that is the diff the 3/4 ton have and never have a problem. Just cost to make the switch is very expensive. I like the truck just not this weak spot in the vehicle.
While driving on a major roadway in concord, nc, with no warning, the rear differential failed and seized, locking up the rear wheels and shearing the driveshaft, and slamming me to a complete stop in traffic.fortunately the vehicles behind me were able to avoid hitting me. The transmission shop currently evaluating the problem has stated "the pinion nut came off and dropped into the gears". This is a problem that chrysler has issued a recall for on 2005 ram 1500 pickups, but not the 2004 models.

While driving on the interstate, i heard a pop and saw smoke coming out of my truck.waiting for the tow, i noticed that the transfer case housing had cracked and had spewed oil all over the bottom of the truck causing the smoke.after some research i found that the 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 (my truck) had been recalled because the transfer case on a possible 500+ vehicles had not been torqued properly.the nhtsa summary states "this could cause the transmission adapter or transfer case housing to crack and leak fluid".the campaign id number is 03v503000.according to chrysler the range of vins involved is 4j116316 through 4j174991.my vehicle, being 4956, is inside this range, but was not was not listed by chrysler (i'm assuming because it was one of the vehicles that had "already been inspected or repaired").it seems more than coincidence to me that my truck was made in the same plant, in the same lot and inside the same vin range, and exhibited the same symptoms (a cracked transfer case housing), but chrysler customer service maintains that my vin is not included in the recall.i am currently facing more than $2k in repairs for a pickup truck with only 44k miles on it and it is a direct result of chrysler allowing this vehicle to slip through the cracks with safety recall no. C39.my vehicle has obviously not been "inspected or repaired", and chrysler needs to make it right.
The pinion nut come loose ,drive shaft fell out and lock rear in up.thank god i had just got off highway.
I was driving my truck down a back country road on the sway to work when i noticed a whistling sound coming from the truck.i began to slow down from 55mph and then i heard a loud bang underneath the truck.i got out to find the transfer case blown apart and the rear end was locked.this could have been a serious matter if i was driving on the highway or had not begun to slow down.upon further investigation i have found many recalls on my truck.i also found out that this is going to run me around 3 grand, if the transmission isn't messed up.
I had just merged onto a freeway on-ramp when,, w/o warning, the truck shimmied and sounded a loud bang followed by loss of control of the vehicle which sent it spinning toward the edge of the road.i had just come over the mountain passes and was lucky to have not had it happen there.upon getting out and inspecting the vehicle it was obvious what had happened:the rear section of drive shaft was laying on the ground and had disconnected abruptly from the rear differential.i've heard this is far from the first time this has happened with this model vehicle (nhtsa action number: pe14019) and hence feel the need to add to the catalog of reports.

I was driving to work when my 2004 dodge ram 1500 started making a whining noise so i drove directly to my mechanic approx 15 mile drive. The noise got progressively worse turning to a grinding noise about two miles from the mech. When i was slowing to make my turn into the mechanic's driveway the rear axle assembly locked up and dropped the drive shaft. Had i been driving at a faster rate of speed this would of been serious, possibly causing driver injury.

I looked under the truck and noticed the banging noise and violent movement was coming from the other half of the drive shaft that was still attacked to the transmission that was still spinning when i had it in gear. The car behind me had to avoid the drive shaft that snapped off since he said it flew out the rear of my truck as i was driving. Had to get towed home and have the differential oil cleaned of the road way. I went home and notice there was a recall for this very same thing at it covered trucks manufactured january 28 of 2004 through august 3, 2005, my truck was manufactured april 2004 so it should be covered but the dealer and manufacture are giving the run around.

Vehicle rear end has gone out.took vehicle to dealer as instructed by fca due to noise in rear end. Dealer drove .1 miles and determined rear end is bad.

2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 5.7 liter has stalled multiple times. Usually immediately after start up or at low speeds.
Same drivetrain pinion issue as the 05 model. My driveshaft came off the pinion and made me skid and caused an accident. Dodge recall center would not accept that my late 04 could have the same pinion defect as the 05.
Driving downhill on the hwy 5 going north just before grapevine at 70 mph.i heard a loud bang and then noticed i had lost all drive as the throttle was just revving.had to move very quickly from the speed lane over the right shoulder barely missing 18 wheelers coming down hill.coasted on the shoulder downhill all the way into grapevine and into a parking lot.i looked under the truck and the entire rear drive shaft was missing as was part of the yoke that comes out of the differential that connects to the final shaft.had to tow 100 miles back to los angeles.complete rear axle/differential and shaft replaced.
On my way to work when i heard a pop, lost all power and saw my drive shaft on the ground behind me. I had to pull over and had no way to keep the truck from rolling away. I had to remain inside my vehicle until help arrived. This is definitely a safety issue. I am lucky i didn't completely lose control when it happened and that i wasn't hit when i had to sit on the side of the highway inside my broken down truck. I see there are multiple incidents similar involving my year truck, yet dodge has only recalled the 2005 model. My truck was manufactured december 30, 2003.
We had the exact thing happen to us. We where driving down the freeway when we heard a loud bang. The rear end of our truck went out. We where stuck in the middle of no wheres and had to be towed about 150 miles.there was a recall for this item "friday's recall marks the third time chrysler has had issues with the dodge ram's rear axle." however when we put our vin number into the system it states our truck is not part of this recall. How do we replace this? it should be covered by the manufacturer. If we buy a replacement part how do we find a good rear axle, when they where all recalled?dodge should widen this recall to include all the trucks that had the same problem...

The rear axle broke on this truck and i made the report on your website back in 2004 and i also contacted chrysler and they sent someone to check the truck and these guy said to me and my mother that we were lucky to be alive.i kept calling chrysler requesting a copy of the report made by this person and they have ignored me till now. This is the reason why i reported the accident to your office because the "accident report" is very clear whatbroke in this truck. If you look at my original complaint you will read about the loud noise coming from the drivers side an hour prior to the accident. I have been in contact with chrysler asking over and over for a copy of the report and they keep denying it, and this is what i need your office to help me obtain from them. You will see that this problem existed prior the recall on the 2005 trucks.whenever chrysler writes to me they write about "air bags" completely ignoring the request so to me is very clear they are hiding something. I know the truck was fixed and sold to someone named "pedro osaga". My insurance paid off the truck to the rental company and my mother and i incurred lots of injuries from this accident and it makes me sick that this manufacture continues to hide the truth from me. Please i'm asking again to help me obtain the report made about this truck regarding the cause of the accident from chrysler. Sorry i can't upload the accident report, but if you need it i will send you a copy or maybe by then i'll be able to send it via email.
Rear retaining nut on drive shaft came off letting drive shaft with yoke attached fall to the pavement as i was pulling up to the toll booth entrance.resulting in the rear end locking up and causing the truck to come to a sudden stop. This was a 5:15 when traffic was very heavy i put onflashers got out and used a flashlight to wave traffic to change lanes.there has been a recall on 2004 / 2005 dodge rams for exactly this same problem but my truck vin # wasn't included.
Nhtsa action number: pe14019 recall p77driving on the interstate when decelerating the rear end of truck violently started shaking.under a constant speed shaking stopped.took an exit to a county road where the truck shook violently again and the drive shaft came off the truck at about 45mph.towed truck to mechanic who said the pinion nut came loose allowing the gear to fall into rear differential which caused drive shaft to fall off and shatter the transfer casing. Had this happened at interstate speed the drive shaft flying into a vehicle behind me could have been deadly. The is already a recall for the 2005 model referenced above.called chrysler, who said that my truck is not affected by this recall, even though the exact same problem occurred?i believe this recall affects more than just 2005 model rams and needs to be readdressed to multiple years.
I own a black 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 4 door short bed with 146,466 miles on it. I have owned this truck from new, almost 14 years. Never has a pinion nut back off the pinion before. We had just got off the main hi way speed was 55 mph and turned onto a back road speed was 35 mph. When out of know were there was a loud bang from under the back off the truck. Then the drive line fell off of the rear end and banged around until i could get the truck over to the side of the road and stopped. Went to the dealer the next day to find out that there has been problems with the 1500 truck rear ends, but per my vin number on my truck it is not covered by a known problem. Only the 2005 and 2006 1500 trucks a covered. It seems that the 2004 dodge ram 1500 trucks have the same pinion nut issue as the 2005 and 2006 1500's. This could have been a very different out come if we were on a freeway were the speeds are anywhere from 55 to 75 mph. I would hope the manufacturer of these trucks will take a look into the 2004 dodge ram 1500 pinion nut issue before someone is killed because of a manufacturing process error.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 55 mph, the pinion nut detached and caused the vehicle to crash into a cement barrier. The driver sustained a bump to the head and body bruises that did not require medical attention. A police report was not filed. The air bags failed to deploy with the impact. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the rear driveshaft and bearings were replaced. The contact mentioned that the manufacturer issued a recall for the 2005 models under nhtsa campaign number: 14v796000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000. The vin was unavailable.
While driving on a local road at approximately 35-40mph the vehicle started making a loud vibration noise.within the next 3 miles the truck made a loud banging noise, the truck lurched and lost forward momentum.i was able to safely make it to the shoulder of the road where i discovered that the driveshaft had separated from the rear differential and had been rotating, banging the underside of the truck.the pinion nut was no longer attached to the pinion gear.the spline from the differential's pinion gear was askew and fluid was leaking out.the towing service indicated that the rear wheels were locked and the wheels would not rotate as the vehicle was dragged onto a flatbed.the transmission shop who conducted repairs confirmed that the rear axles was locked up and the differential would require a rebuild.this situation mirrors the nhtsa preliminary evaluation pe14-019 and linked to chrysler's recall p77 / nhtsa 14v-796, with the difference being that this occurred on a 2004 dodge ram 1500 not a 2005 dodge ram 1500.the 2004 dodge ram was manufactured within the same time frame as the 2005 dodge rams in the recall (january 28, 2004 - august 3, 2005), june 2004.in addition the rear axle assemblies between the 2004 and 2005 dodge ram 1500s are interchangeable.
2004 dodge ram 1500 pickup, engine rpm's surge consistently with no consequence other than the truck shutting down.starts back most of the timewith no problem but there has been instances where the truck does not want to restart.while driving the rpm's run fine but when you decelerate for turning or parking or intersections the truck is slow to gear down and the rpm's surge again shutting the truck down. This is a constant problem with the truck.
I was driving at freeway speed, around 70 mph. Suddenly, i heard a noise from the rear of the truck and i noticed my speedometer went to zero. I was still moving at the same speed. The fault code identified a failure in the speed sensor in the rear differential. I was out of warranty, so i pulled the differential cover off and found what was left of the speed sensor in the bottom of the housing. I also found pieces of what was later identified as c clips from my lsd clutch assembly. The inductive portion of the speed sensor protrudes into the differential housing and was hit by the flying pieces of c clips. The carrier bearing also had a grove cut into it by these clips as they worked their way out. I am told that if i had not caught this, it would have resulted in carrier bearing failure and lock up of my rear axle. I removed all of the metal c clip pieces and removed the remaining c clips that had not yet fallen out. I don't know if there is any connection, but my left rear leaf spring cracked in half on the lower main leaf. I had to replace the spring assembly at my cost. I now have a permanent whine at low speeds and currently have 125,000 miles on my truck. I am certainly glad that i found these metal pieces when i did! there appears to be many complaints regarding this failure in my truck model, ranging from model years 2003 through 2006 ram 1500 equipped with the 5.7 hemi. At this time, chrysler has not acknowledged the patterned failures in these rear differentials.
Rear end froze, locked up,and drive shaft came off. The exact same issue as current recall p77 for 2005 dodge ram 1500. My truck shows a manufacture date of november 2003, whereas the p77 starts for trucksmanufactured beginning january 2004. My question is what did dodge do different from november 2003 to january 2004 ( 2 months), and if nothing , why isn't my truck not included in this recall? this is very dangerous. My 16 year old daughter was driving, and if her rear locked up on the highway, just a few minutes earlier, there could have been a major accident. This needs to be addressed immediately. This is a very popular truck, and someone could get seriously hurt!
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving 35 mph, the rear axle seized and the drive shaft separated from the axle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic.

While coming to a stop rear end locked. After inspection found drive shaft had come loose and fallen under truck.had vehicle towed to home and after further inspection found nut had come off pinion causing drive shaft to fall off and pinion to fall back into ring gear and broke pinion,ring gear, and bearings.unable to repair myself i had a used rear end installed in truck. I later heard that chrysler had a recall for this failure and contacted them by phone. I was told that this truck was not covered by the recall. Why, when having the exact same problem as their recall, was my vehicle not included? i will have to find my bills for repairs and wrecker service , but i believe it was around 1400.00, and i feel chrysler should reimburse me.

Was driving on the express way. Sudden loud noise from underneath the car, a lot of smoke. Pulled over immediately.my rear axle came off. No apparent reason. I believe there is a recall on theese models , the manufacturing date of my truck is not within the timeframe established. Demand further investigation
On sept. 21 2015, driving home from work, i experienced what it felt like to drop the drive shaft out of the rear axle of my 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. I was on a highway going 55 mph with vehicles all around me when this incident happened. Now i've done some research on this issue and found that 2005 dodge rams 1500 series that were manufactured within the dates of jan 28th 2004-aug. 3rd 2005 are all a part of this type of recall, known as p77 recall.what about dodge ram 2004 1500 series that were manufactured in june of 2004.this would have been the same time that the 2005's would have been manufactured.i am questioning why aren't the 2004 dodge ram 1500 series trucks under this same p77 recall since they were still being manufactured within this same time period of the 2005's.why hasn't chrysler/dodge corp. Looked into the 2004 dodge ram 1500 series trucks that may have this same problem due to being manufactured in this same time period?another problem i have encountered, is i am being told by auto parts sale associates that they can not sell me this drive shaft or rear axle due to my truck being under this p77 recall. Though, when i check my vin number under fca recall look up, i only see the r25 recall for the driver air bag inflator, which i at this point i can't even get this recall repaired because i don't have a working drive shaft or rear axle to even move my truck. It seems as if my truck was not included in this p77 recall, though i am being told it is under recall.confused!?
I recieved a letter stating a recall.
Pinion nut loosened and the drive shaft separated from the rear axle. The pinion gear fell into the differential resulting in the axle to lock up and crack the housing.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 crew cab 5.7l hemi 2wd and it continues to stall every now and then at low speeds or at a complete stop. Vehicle will start right up with no problem but battery gauge takes a few seconds to rise to operating levels. Transmission also feels like it wants to slip at time of stall. Had engine and trans changed, battery and alternator checked out okay as well. Did some research and found that a lot of incidents happen after vehicle transmission ha been serviced or transmission fluid is low; other individuals who have experienced this problem have said they had the erg valve, tps sensor, map sensor and even software. I don't know what the problem is but you end up spending hundreds of dollars trying to figure this out. I don't know why chrysler doesn't address this issue.

Was driving on highway and all of the sudden my heard a loud noise and my truck went out of control. My diferential fell and my wheels locked couldn't move. It was a scary experienced. No cars where near me because it would have caused a big accident.
The rear axle started making a whining noise that gradually got louder and then the rear axle locked up making the truck unable to be driven. I think it's the pinion nut like many other dodge trucks but according to the information in the p77 recall my year truck is not included even though the rear axle has the exact issue described in the recall

While driving saturday, 11/23/2013,i noticed a vibration and humming noise coming from the front of my vehicle. Also, when i turned the car would croak or moan. I could tell something was wrong because my brake pedal became very spongy and had to be pressed in fully in order to stop the car. I began to head home with the truck as i did not want a safety hazard where i could not stop the vehicle. I also noticed that in order to steer straight, i had to hold my steering wheel approximately 30 degrees left. Upon getting the truck home i immediately saw my problem.my front passenger tire was sitting in the wheel well on an angle.large amounts of smoke were pouring out of the undercarriage, and rubber goo was leaving a trail where i drove. I jacked the car and removed the wheel, and could see even more.my wheel hub assembly was separated and broken. This caused my tire to sit on the hub crooked and lean against my control arm.the heat from this friction was so intense that it melted my cv boot, which is why i had a rubber goo trail.it also melted the abs sensor on the wheel hub itself. Causing my absto go out. The hub itself had a piece completely fallen off, as if a weld broke.the heat also warped my rotor, and cracked my brake pads in that side. Luckily, i did not have any wheel separation or total failure of the braking system, causing crash or injury. I was barely able to utilize braking and drive home at about 20mph with hazards on.the wheel hub assembly has been recalled in several year dodge ram 1500s, including 2004, 2006, and others, for bearing issues.however dodge claimed it was only a faulty part in 2wd applications.now we know this is not true.i have a 4wd ram that had the hub assembly fail and a partial braking failure. I am out of room, but i have pictures of the parts broken on the car, and pictures of the removed parts as well.
Vehicle was traveling down a 4 lane main thoroughfare in medium traffic when the rear end locked up and exploded. Driver was lucky enough to gain control of the vehicle and bring it to a stop without injury or crashing into another vehicle. Although the vehicle is a 2004, it was manufactured with in the same time frame as the 2005 p77 recall for the same issue.
Engine stalls at all speeds on an interstate while going 75 mph with no control of steering due to lost of power steering or brakes. Sometimes it will restart of sometimes it doesn't right away but after about thirty minutes it will restart. This is also true of parking lots and city streets. With no codes or engine check light to refer to.

It looks like the pinion nut came loose and allowed the drive shaft to come off while we were driving on a secondary road. The rear wheels locked up. I see where there was an issue with 2005 vehicles made from january 2004-august 2005. Ours is a 2004 and was made in march 2004.
Heard grinding noise in back of truck driving straight at 45 mph on highway , truck skidded to a stop and i found the driveshaft at the back differential had broken off.could not move truck in drive, 4wd or push in neutral due to the back diff locked up.back wheels locked due to differential.mechanic diagnosis is it needs a whole new differential and driveshaft.highway was single lane with on coming traffic and i was lucky to miss a head on collision.
Was driving in my neighborhood at approx. 20mph when the front end fell out onto the road.
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...
The pinion nut came loose and the drive shaft came out-locking the rear end-causing damage.
We where on our way back from california to arizona on the 40. A small highway in the middle of no where, when we heard a very loud boom. Next a very large cloud of smoke came from the back of the truck, then the trucks rear end ceased up leaving us stranded in the middle of no where at night. To have the truck towed just to needles ca was $600.00.was this partrecalled? i can not find this information anywhere and would like to know what chrysler is doing about this very dangerous situation.
Truck lost all power, throttle lamp blinking. Stalled on roadway, would start but would not give throttle to move the truck. Turned key off then back on a few times and would let me apply throttle for a few seconds, then back to no power. I did this a few times just to get off the roadway. There is no throttle cable so it is a computer controlproblem.

Rear axel pinion nut came loose and rear drive shaft fell off.truck manufactured feb 2004.same problem as nhtsa campaign number: 14v796000.i was driving down the road, i started to hear a fun clanking noise, i slowed down to pull off the road and the rear axel locked up.when i was off the road i looked and found the rear drive shaft laying on the ground.
2004 dodge ram 1500 date of mfr is 02 - 04 (february 2004), which falls in the recall on the pinion nut, nhsta recall 14v796000, chrysler recall p77, which states pinion nut may come loose due to undersize spline on the pinion gear. The date of manufacture for the recall falls between january 28, 2004 through august 3, 2005. The recall statement only states 2005 model years, yetthe date range for the recall also include 2004 and 2006 model years. Recently i have had the pinion nut on my truck come loose to the point the drive shaft fell off and the result of it also ended up a destroyed transfer case. Unaware of the recall because i never received a recall due to the fact that the recall only included 2005 model years, when in fact 2004, 2005, and 2006 model years are effected by the recall and owners of all years should have received a recall notice but did not, due to the verbage of the recall. I was made aware of this recall through other means after the incident of the pinion nut coming loose on my truck several days later. The recall needs to be revised to include 2004 and 2006 model years where the date of mfr includes 01-04 to 08-05 (january 2004 through to august 2005). This recall effects the dodge ram pickups with chrysler corporate 9.25 rear axles. At the time of my incident, the vehicle was in motion on a city street, as i was attempted to turn off the city street into a parking lot. My truck is currently being worked on my by mechanic and will remain so. I am highly disappointment at chrysler in the fact that this issue was overlooked and consumers are in 2004 and 2006 model years and may be unaware of the situation. The date of mfr on my truck is 02-04, falling within the date of manufacture vehicles for the 14v796000 recall.

Engine stalling by 2004 dodge ram 1500-5.7l v8 engine. This has been a recurring issue and directly led to an accident causing over $10,000 in damage and near fatal injuries. Further, this vehicle (and others i have become aware of) have been serviced at the dealership on time/schedule but this issue has never been addressed nor have they been recalled or repaired despite numerous complaints. Fortunately the repairs were covered by insurance but the vehicle still has the same problem for which neither the local dealer nor chrysler-dodge et, al. Has addressed this issue (although reading the files it is clear they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and man hours to refute/dismiss this matter.
I have a 2004 dodgeram 1500 with 5.7 hemi i've owned since new. The truck will stall without warning at slow speeds and while turning it has always restarted. On some stalls with the lack of power steering and brakes it has been all i could do to not hit other cars. Over the years my dodge dealer has offered no help since this doesn't produce a service code. Now i see that this is a wide spread problem and a service bulletin (tsd 18-013-05) was issued that sounds like it may or may not correct the problem. A driver without the strength to handle the truck without power steering and brakes would be in real danger.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi.we purchased the truck on april 20, 2004 & started having the stalling problem about 2 months ago.i have since taken the truck to the dealership where it was purchased 3 times to have the problem fixed.each time the dealership has the truck 2 1/2 to 3 days.the truck does not stall while the accelerator is enacted.the rpm gauge will flutter when stopped & then it will drop & the truck will die.some days the truck will stall only once or twice & other days the truck will stall up to 20 to 30 times.the dealership has replaced the following items:fault code, p0261, replaced pcm for erractic speed sensor signal.r&r pan & replaced trans filter per star 1763 wd94 0.80. 5094274aa module-powertrain control, 5015267ac filter pkg-powertrain control, 5010884aa sealer, 5 atf bulk - +4.
2004 ram 1500 5.7 hemi stalls at low engine speeds, often at stop signs, traffic lights, or parking lot maneuvers. Will usually start immediately back up, sometimes requires slight accelerator pressure when cranking in order to obtain self-sustaining engine speed. During decelerations, engine rpm is erratic and will often encounter a transient drop in rpm's to approximately 400 rpm before engine dies. Issue seems to be more common and severe in cold weather, or when engine is cold, but has occurred under all conditions. This has been a persistent problem for about two years, happening anywhere from once a day to a dozen times. Multiple dealerships and mechanics have looked at this, without result. The computer has been updated, the sensors, egr valve, and intake manifold cleaned, and the throttle body has been replaced. Still not fixed. Vehicle has been well maintained and has less than 55k miles. This is an expensive, dangerous, and frustrating condition.
2004 ram 1500 quad cab 5.7l hemi.engine suddenly stalls when it reaches temperature if the vehicle is decelerating (stop or turn). The engine appears to fail to switch correctly from high to low idle and goes right to zero. This results in immediate loss of steering and significant safety hazard.this has continued to occur more frequently with time and by the online descriptions is getting to be fairly common.
700 origianl miles - pin connections(1st shop i took it to said it was reading a transmisstion error, but couldn't fix it); 6000 miles-fuel pump and map sensor; 8000 miles-transmission controller.this has left me stranded, and i've had to have it towed twice.
Dt: consume rowneda 2004 dodge 1500 ram.sometimes it will stall whileconsumer was driving.once it caused the consumer to bump a brick wall.which caused a slight dent in the bumper.it has a vibration that seemed to be coming from the transmission.sometimes the vehicle will not start.the rear driver side door would not unlock.when the dealer ran a diagnostic test they said that it was not showing the codes for these problems.after five tries the dealer was able to get the door lock fixed.as for the other problems the dealer put a new computer in the vehicle. This fixed the problem for about a week, and then the problems came back.the manufacturer was the one that said to put the new computer in.
Our truck has stalled aprox. 15-20 times while we are driving down the road or while making turns.it hasn't resulted in any accidents yet, but there has been many times when we are making a turn and it stalls all of a sudden while traffic is coming twoards us.i feel that we have only so much time before this causes a bad accident. Our truck is a 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 liter hemi.i hope that there will be a recall on this matter, because i've read many other peoples complaints about this same thing.i feel very unsafe driving with my wife and my 3 year old son in the truck, not to mention the lives of the people in the other cars.
Engine light came. Didn't notice anything wrong with the truck. Had a friend put it on the machine to find out what the code was. The code was p0404, egr something. The about a week later, while im driving, im going about 30 mph i let my foot off the gas and my truck stalls. A couple of days after that i was turning into a parking lot and my truck stalls again. Each this happens i am able to put my truck into neutral and start it right up. I noticed that if i am stopped at a light or if i am starting my truck for the first time in the day when i begin to accelerate it it seems to run a little sluggish until i give it some more gas. No accidents have occurred and have not done anything to replace anyparts as of yet. I have a 7 year, 70,000 mile power train warranty and am not sure if this malfunction is covered. I noticed that when i looked up the defects under the investigations that what was happening to my truck was the same thing being investigated. Thank you
- the contact called regarding the 2004 dodge ram 1500.the contact did research and found the vehicle had a recall 034503000 for the automatic transmission.the contact called the dealer & manufacturer to see if this vehicle was affected.both the dealer and the manufacturer stated the information was proprietary and they could not releaseit. The vehicle had 34,000 miles.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled while coming to a stop and while idling.the dealership determined the seals in the electrical system of the transmission (wiring harness) leaked allowing water to get into the electrical system.the wiring to the wiring harness was corroded.the dealership cleaned several connectors and replaced a ground wire.the dealership informed the contact that if cleaning the connectors did not correct the problem, the entire wiring harness would have to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 70 mph the transfer case cracked. He stated transmission fluid leaked from the vehicle and he heard a loud, unusual bang. The vehicle stalled and he was able to push the vehicle off the roadway with assistance from others. The vehicle was towed to his residence. A local repair facility was contacted where he was given an estimate of repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 03v503000 (power train: automatic transmission) however, his vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 133,715.
Consumer was pulling out from a parking space and noticed that the rpms were going up, and the engine was making a funny noise. When he got to the road and approached the stop light the same thing happened. Then,vehicle slowed down and shutdown. Consumer just picked the brand new vehicle up from the dealer the day before.he had the vehicle towed to the dealer, and was told that the filter in the transmission was coming apart. Which meant that none of the fluid was going to the transmission.this blew out theengine. The dealer replaced the transmission. *tc
Rear axle noise.repeatedly reported to service department.failure and complete replacement of rear axle.transmission will not temporally not engage after vehicle sits for a long period.increasing engine rpms will engage transmission.vehicle lost substantial power while operating in mid western states of montana and wyoming.still loss of power noticed upon returning to ct.
2004 dodge ram 1500 stalls for no apparent reason.left me cross ways in traffic as i pulled into road from gas station. Fuel mileage 14 mpg on and off highway . Actually drops mileage on overhead read out when coasting down a grade. Balks at cruising speed. Transmission slips in reverse after truck sits overnight. Transmission lulls in it's shifting. Been to dealership five times. They have done nothing . 1. Claimed trans needed flashed, claimed secondary trans filter was bad(second time they actually changed the filter. No difference. Charged me 169.00 for that change . Claimed it was not covered under warranty or 0 deductible extended warranty. Charged 100.00 deductible and 69.00 diagnosis. I handed them a copy of technical service bulletin that called for the change, but they charge for diagnosis. Why 100.00 deductible when i have ) deductible ex warranty? " not covered under either of those warranties... This is a different warranty"????? door seals also torn." not covered on 2004 only 2005 models....same problem but not covered????
While attempting to make a left turn my vehicle in drive would not go forward ie.transmission slipping,motor reving up!
Dt*:the contact stated while driving under normal conditions and at any speed, the vehicle stalled.the vehicle was taken to the dealer on 6 occasions for this problem.the first 3 times the vehicle was inspected, the problem could not be duplicated.on the fourth time the pcm, map sensor and the ngc controller were replaced.this corrected the problem for only a short period of time.the stalling returned and the vehicle was taken back for inspection two more times however, no repairs were made.there is also a problem with the transmission, it has been overhauled 2 times and the vehicle is still having engine hesitation problems.the vehicle was taken to the dealer 5 times due to the abs.when the brakes were applied the rear end of the vehicle pulsates.no repairs were made to the abs and the manufacturer was alerted.
Vehicle experienced sudden engine stalling at various speeds when on the road. Consumercontacted manufacturer, who was aware of the problem.truck lost all power functions. It has to be completely stopped, put in park then restarted. Consumer was informed by dealer it maybe 6-8 weeks before they can fix it because the manufacturer was redesigning the pcm.
Vehicle started to stall upon slowing down for a light or at a stop.took it in to the dealership who upon first "diagnosing" did not find anything wrong/could not locate problem.had general maintainance (tune-up, fuel injection svc., oil change)done on vehicle at that time.stalling continued.took vehicle back again, pcm was replaced.next day, stalling out again, even more than before.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 liter with 48k miles that has had numerous problems (e.g. Erg valve replaced, power steering reservoir (currently being replaced), and engine stalling at an idle, while turning, while backing up, or coasting. The stalling occurs out of the blue as if someone flipped a switch causing the engine to die. The electrical stays on, just the engine dies. Most of the time it starts right back up but sometimes it takes awhile. The stalling has happened numerous times and is very unpredictable. The stalling began about three - four months ago. I currently have it in for repairs at lee's summit dodge, lee's summit missouri.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.while coasting across railroad tracks, the vehicle stalled when the accelerator pedal was depressed.the vehicle restarted within minutes of stalling.there was electrical power, but the engine was not running.there were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure.the failure has occurred at least three times within the last two years, in which the dealer reprogrammed the powertrain control module.the failure mileage was 44,000.updated 3/3/09 the consumer stated the engine would always start up after it stalled. Updated 03/04/09.
Engine stalls while driving.dealer installed updated pcm calibration.stalling continues to occur during the same conditions, especially while turning, but less frequently.

Dt*: the contact stated while pulling into a parking stall or attempting slight turning maneuvers the engine idle will fluctuate up and down and stall. Although the engine stalls the vehicle is easily restarted.no warning indicators are present when this occurs.there is a nhtsa action number pe05027 concerning the automatic transmission control module, the vehicle is displaying the same problems as indicated in the investigation.the vehicle has been seen by a dealer, but the dealer is unable to determine the cause of theproblem.
I own a black 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 4 door short bed with 146,466 miles on it. I have owned this truck from new, almost 14 years. Never has a pinion nut back off the pinion before. We had just got off the main hi way speed was 55 mph and turned onto a back road speed was 35 mph. When out of know were there was a loud bang from under the back off the truck. Then the drive line fell off of the rear end and banged around until i could get the truck over to the side of the road and stopped. Went to the dealer the next day to find out that there has been problems with the 1500 truck rear ends, but per my vin number on my truck it is not covered by a known problem. Only the 2005 and 2006 1500 trucks a covered. It seems that the 2004 dodge ram 1500 trucks have the same pinion nut issue as the 2005 and 2006 1500's. This could have been a very different out come if we were on a freeway were the speeds are anywhere from 55 to 75 mph. I would hope the manufacturer of these trucks will take a look into the 2004 dodge ram 1500 pinion nut issue before someone is killed because of a manufacturing process error.

While stopping at a traffic light the consumer heard a breaking sound from the rear left side, but didn't think it came from her vehicle.two hours later, the noise occurred again, but louder.the vehicle immediately started spinning in the left direction until it crashed into a ditch and hit a concrete barrierwhile spinning driver's door opened, and the seat connection in the middle broke.this was a bench seat.the driver's side slid forward, and the passenger's side slid backwards.when vehicle was picked up therental store mechanic determined that the rear axle broke.*sc
Dt*:the contact stated while driving 35 mph the rear axel fractured and came off the vehicle.the vehicle was towed to the dealer, upon inspection the dealer stated the contact must have hit something to cause this failure.
For christmas vacations, i went to durango, mexico.when i was driving there, i took a curve approximatly at 35 mph and i suddenly hear a loud noise on the back of the truck and i saw the left rear tire pass me by.i was able to control my truck, and there was no traffic at that time so there was no accident thank god.the rear axel broke, both wheels were out and the truck's bed was on the floor.
Vehicle has a problem with the front axle shafts. They were initially replaced at 20,000 miles a year ago, then in january 2007 a u joint went bad on the left front axle and was replaced. Since then the truck has a bad vibration and continues to worsen.
2004 dodge 1500 quad cab 22k miles. Rear passenger axle end broke off causing no control of vehicle, thus the truck spins into a sign and damaged the passenger rear bed. Police report says that it looked like a manufacture defect of the axle. We went on line that night and found several cases they same. I contacted chrysler and they had an investigator come and look. After approx 5 weeks i got a letter back that says the axel broke due to impact and they were not going to pay for anything. Just type in dodge axles broke and the internet has a lot of the same failures recorded by other dodge owners. This is not right someone can be killed with this fault. The wheel and brakes all just break off leaving no control.
(1)rearend differential and pinion seal leaking fluid(2)rearend almost locked up, days without transportation(3)parts replaced and new fluid, they have worked on it twice!
Failure of front wheel bearings on my 2004 dodge ram 1500 at 29,400 miles. Resulted in loss of brakes almost causing an accident. Wheel bearings were replaced, i do still have the old ones. The left front was so bad it was ready to seperate from the hub. I'm told by the dealer that this is a common problem although chrysler has not addressed it.
Mileage: 43,520dealer performing service: vals summit dodgei 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.
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 thegarage 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 rear end/differential blew out on my 2004 dodge ram 1500 and is causing me to miss work and having to rent a car.my truck has 74000 miles on it is just out of the power warranty.my family needs/depends on this vehicle to get to work and around town.can not afford the repair bills.i am currently (fighting) chrysler warranty departmentplease help!
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.
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.
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.
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 adefective serious condition.
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.
Ram 1550 with 19" tires has experience 2 successive rear-end failures.replacement parts include case, bearings and ring/pinion.failures occurred at slow speed.had they occurred at high speed and the differential locked up the vehicle would most likely roll over and injure/kill the occupants.there is anecdotal reports of such failures in internet user groups and elsewhere.i have suffered 2 failures in 2 000 miles (30 000 and 32 000 miles) and i am surprise to seee no action on this topic.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. Upon slowing down at approximately 10 mph to turn into a fuel station, the gear assembly fractured and the rear differential failed. The contact heard a loud noise as the failure occurred. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop who provided an interim repair of the gear assembly and inspected the differential and noticed that it fractured prematurely. The vehicle was driven back to the contact's residence and parked due to the noise continuing from the rear. The contact was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v796000 (power train). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags), but was unable to determine when the part would become available to schedule the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 164,000.
Subj: rear differential failuredear sir or madame,several months ago, i purchased a used 2004 dodge ram 1500 that was out of the warranty period.on dec. 7, 2006 i had my rear differential serviced by an ase certified facility after reading numerous postings on several online forums discussing rear differential failures for this vehicle and after i experienced a loss in general performance of the truck.as suspected and as documented by other owners, the clutch retainer clips of the rear differential fell apart in the differential housing causing the entire rear end to fail.i am in process of having all moving parts in the housing to be rebuilt by a drivetrain specialist and will cost in excess of $1000.i was also told by the technician servicing the vehicle that it is quite possible that this problem if not caught in early stages, can create a catastrophic failure of the rear end eventually leading to lock up.in speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour this can cause vehicle roll overs and total loss of total vehicle.the fact that daimler-chrysler has yet to issue a service bulletin for this issue is aggravating and shows their lack of sympathy for their owners and as well as other drivers on the road.thank you,kenneth mosley .
Clutch pack retainer clips in 2004 dodge ram 1500. These clips failed in my rear differential leaving large pieces of metal in the housing.the dealership fixed it under warranty but i'm concerned it will happen again.my main worry is that if they fail at highway speeds it could lead to rear end lock up without warning.i belong to a dodge enthusiast group online and about 80% of people who own the 1500 with a limited slip differential have had clip failure,sometimes completely destroying the rear end. I really feel like something needs to be done about this as chrysler has chosen to turn their backs on the problem.
At approximately 10,000 miles our 2004 dodge ram 1500 began pulling hard to the right.at highway speeds, the vehicle will cross 4 lanes of traffic within seconds if the driver is not pulling to the left in order to compensate for the right pull. We have had the vehicle aligned several times by different dealerships as well as at alignment shops, and the issue persists.daimler chrysler claimed the issue was tire related, and we had the tire dealer move tires around repeatedly trying to make the problem go away.we have also replaced tires with no change in the pull. Recently, we noticed the pull is far worse when the vehicle has a full tank of gas, which leads me to suspect weight or weight distribution is a factor. We had steering rack and differential failure at approximately 25,000 miles. Both were replaced and the problem continues to exist.also, alignment numbers go from within specification to wildly out of specification each time the truck is placed on a rack. This vehicle control issue is 100% repeatable.

On all 2002-2005, and maybe 2006, dodge ram 1500s equipped with the 9.25" rear limited slip differential.the retaining clips on the lsd fail and begin grinding a ring into the housing.when enough grinding has occurred the clips can become free destroying the rear differential.in some cases it cans cause the rear differential to lock up.if this occurs at a high rate of speed you can imagine what it would be like to have your rear tires lock up going 75 mph down the freeway.myself and many others have called into dodge to complain about their faulty lsd's.since no one has died i guess they don't care.i know it is cheaper to only fix the ones that get caught within the warranty, then it is to fix every single 9.25" lsd on the road today but it is wrong.i asked the dodge representative on the phone if dodge would cover the differential again if it fails out side of the warranty since it was a known problem on my vehicle and had to be replaced.i was told no.i would have to call in a see if they could do a good will coverage.this is a major issue and it is a wonder, and pure luck, that no one has died from having their rear-end locking up on them doing 75 mph down the freeway.i have pictures of the beginning stages of this problem if you would like to see them.i also know a large number of people who have been stuck with a bill to replace the failed unit themselves only a few thousand miles after the warranty.even if dodge does repair it the same junk lsd goes right back in.this is a very simple problem to identify during scheduled maintenance if the dealerships were told to look and dodge had a better item to replace them with.i hope you can do something before someone does get injured or killed by dodge.

I originally reported this accident to nhtsa website and i'm not able to find the complaint because the website has change. The accident happened in cusseta, ga, the truck made a loud noise on the left side an hour before started spinning out of control, and it did it again before the accident. The truck was deemed total and the mechanic from the wreckage company said the axle broke. I reported this to dodge/chrysler and they sent an investigator to check the truck and he said to me "i was lucky to be alive" dodge/chrysler never game me no information at all, i was actually brushaside like nothing. Please help me find the original complaint i submitted.
The driver's seatbroke in two areas, one a sharp piece of metalwas protruding through the material in the back whichcaused cuts on my back and cloths. Second, a bar thatwas under the seatbroke and allowedthe seat to move forward when brakingand back when accelerating.
This truck has only approximately 60,000 miles.i noticed that my brakes were acting strangely -- spongy and not braking properly.they were the original brakes.on 8/4/2015, i took the truck into a local dealership to have recall work done for airbags.i received a call from the dealership indicating that something was wrong with the brakes and needed to be replaced.i agreed to the work.when i went to pick up the truck, i was advised by the service department that they had a great deal of difficulty even putting the brakes back together and that something was installed incorrectly on my truck when it was built!since this incident, i spoke with someone who owns the "same" truck as mine -- 2004 dodge ram 1500 hemi -- and his brakes completely failed in his driveway yesterday!i thought it might be a good idea to make "officials" aware of this in the event that there is an unknown, ongoing problem with the braking systems of 2004 dodge ram 1500 pick-up trucks.
Began to slow down for a traffic light and my truck stalled while moving almost causing me to rear end the person ahead of me since i lost all control of my brakes and power steering.from what i'm reading this had happened to many people with the same year, make and model vehicle without any type of recall and its too dangerous of a situation.
I had the truck off, in park and e-brake engaged. A friend of mine was watching my child while i was pulled away and she had let him play with steering wheel (he loves playing with steering wheels). All of a sudden i hear the sitter screaming and turn around and saw my truck rolling down the inclined driveway with my toddler still in drivers seat and door open. I did what any sane mother would and tried to run to jump in and hit brake but ended up being dragged by the truck after it hit a pothole before crossing into a major road. When the truck finally came to a rest after crashing into a large fence with trees behind it, i managed to get my child out of truck and noticed the e-brake was still engaged. The truck has not been taken to a shop yet but will be soon. This is the only incidence of this malfunction with my truck that i know of and ive had it since 2009. However, i have previously had brake system issues where my brake lines popped off while i was driving down the highway. This really needs to be checked out. I now have a cervical spine injury, sprained wrist, sprained ankle, severe road burn where i was dragged, and multiple bruises, knots and scrapes. We were just lucky it happened after 5 o clock traffic had cleared out. There is a police report filed and my doctors have told me i need to look into getting an attorney.

As i was driving on the freeway at 70 mph, i heard a loud "smack!" before the engine stalled and i lost power steering and power brakes. Luckily, i'm pretty strong and was able to pull off to the shoulder. The engine would start but not turn over with 4 or 5 attempts. It started on the fifth or sixth try but would not idle. I was finally able to get it to start and on my way to the mechanic, i could tell something was broken in the engine. After inspecting the engine and looking into it, it's been determined that a valve spring broke and sent the valve through the piston and into the cylinder, effectively ceasing the engine while the vehicle traveled at freeway speeds.
Popping and grinding in rear end popping in the cv axle front tires leaning in and wearing on inside with new tires and front end alignment have added new calipers rotors brakes 2 new cv axles and the problem still not fixed
Abs light comes on then stays off and then comes back on after so long.

The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving at 35 mph, the contact heard an abnormal noise and the rear end seized, which made the vehicle slide. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the driveshaft, the rear brake cables, and the rear passenger shocks needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
I bought this truck about 2.5 months ago used with 59xxx miles on it.this incident has happened a few times now.the first time i was coming off the freeway approaching a stoplight.as i was slowing down when i hit about 20 mph my truck completely stalled.all power was on after stall, but i had no brakes, no steering, and no engine.luckily im a strong guy and had plenty of room to keep a straight line and very forcefully apply the non powered brakes.it started right back up so i kind of shrugged it off.it happened a few more times since then, same symptoms: slowing down for a turn or a stop.... Engine dies, no steering, no brakes, dead truck, starts right up.however last night christmas day it stalled on me a quarter of the way through a left hand turn at about 15 mph.i couldn't turn the wheel hard enough to finish my turn, i couldn't apply the brakes hard enough to stop in a safe amount of time, i died in the middle of the oncoming traffic lane.i had to quickly apply my emergency brake. Stopping just in time about 1 foot short of driving into a guardrail with a steep embankment on the other side.i am literally scared to drive this truck now, scared for my life and other peoples lives.apparently there seems to be a common problem with these trucks stalling, but no recalls to my knowledge or definitive problem has been diagnosed... Please help!respectfully, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Hub assembly failed and brakes gave out which allowed vehicle which resulted in crashing into a tree.
While applying urgent braking at full pedal force due to another vehicle changing lanes in front of the vehicle at a much lower speed, the abs system failed to function, causing the vehicle to skid for two to three seconds over an unknown distance. After approximately two to three seconds applying full force to the brake pedal and skidding, the pedal suddenly released all resistance against the driver's foot and was able to become fully-depressed against the floorboard/firewall of the vehicle. At the moment of the event, the vehicle gave a violent shudder and all braking power was lost. The vehicle continued forward without brakes until striking another vehicle and coming to a full stop, resulting in multiple injuries and a total loss of the vehicle. Post-collision, the vehicle's brake pedal was able to be pressed completely to the floorboard/firewall of the vehicle with very little resistance. The approximate speed when braking was initiated was between 45 and 50 miles per hour. Police responding to the collision estimated that the vehicle was traveling at approximately 15 miles per hour at the final point of collision with the second vehicle involved according to the police report.
Driving down the road at about 35 mph and all of a sudden i had no power to my brakes or steering and the engine stopped. I managed to pull over placed it in park and it started right up. All electrical components remained working at the time of the incident. This scenario has happened multiple times and is a major safety issue.on a different occasion i was sitting at stop light and it turned green took my foot off of the brake and pushed the accelerator the and the truck rolled backwards and almost hit the vehicle behind me since there was a slight decline towards the rear of the truck. Again all electrical was fine, but the engine quit.for all scenarios i did not even know the engine stopped besides the brakes and steering had no power. The engine just simply stopped running,
While driving saturday, 11/23/2013,i noticed a vibration and humming noise coming from the front of my vehicle. Also, when i turned the car would croak or moan. I could tell something was wrong because my brake pedal became very spongy and had to be pressed in fully in order to stop the car. I began to head home with the truck as i did not want a safety hazard where i could not stop the vehicle. I also noticed that in order to steer straight, i had to hold my steering wheel approximately 30 degrees left. Upon getting the truck home i immediately saw my problem.my front passenger tire was sitting in the wheel well on an angle.large amounts of smoke were pouring out of the undercarriage, and rubber goo was leaving a trail where i drove. I jacked the car and removed the wheel, and could see even more.my wheel hub assembly was separated and broken. This caused my tire to sit on the hub crooked and lean against my control arm.the heat from this friction was so intense that it melted my cv boot, which is why i had a rubber goo trail.it also melted the abs sensor on the wheel hub itself. Causing my absto go out. The hub itself had a piece completely fallen off, as if a weld broke.the heat also warped my rotor, and cracked my brake pads in that side. Luckily, i did not have any wheel separation or total failure of the braking system, causing crash or injury. I was barely able to utilize braking and drive home at about 20mph with hazards on.the wheel hub assembly has been recalled in several year dodge ram 1500s, including 2004, 2006, and others, for bearing issues.however dodge claimed it was only a faulty part in 2wd applications.now we know this is not true.i have a 4wd ram that had the hub assembly fail and a partial braking failure. I am out of room, but i have pictures of the parts broken on the car, and pictures of the removed parts as well.
When i purchased this dodge ram 1500 hemi 5.7 it had a bad engine. After the engine was fixed, i notice the truck would just stop running or stall and no engine light. I would start it back up and it would kill at anytime i would slow down to turn or slow down to stop. This would happen 2 to 10 times a day. Then not for a day or two. When i looked online there are a lot of people with this problem. The dealer is not fixing the problem. This can kill someone and i had to stop my son from using this truck. Because i was afraid he would get killed or kill someone else. There should be a recall for this matter.updated 9/15/15 *ln.... Updated 09/30/15
2004 ram 1500 hemi sport qc had terrible shimmy in front end upon stopping and truck was hard to control. Dealer stated rotors were warped and turned them. This was at 9500 miles. Again at 15000 miles truck is doing same thing. Dealer said they would turn them again but that was all. Said they could turn them as many times as they wanted. Said they turned them but the wheels haven't been removed from truck. Dealer or dodge unwilling to fix problem even though both admit there is a problem. Back rotor is warped and has bad groves in it. Feel i am getting bum deal on 36000 dollar truck.
I have placed three sets of rotors on my 2004 dodge 1500 ram quad cab in65,000 miles. First set warped at about 18,000 miles, the dealership turned them and charged me $90.00. They in turn warped again at about 23,000 miles. Replaced them with waggner high performance rotors at about $110.00 a piece. The rotors and pads lasted about 35,000 and the rotors were so warped, they couldn't be turned. Dealership is absolutly no help what so ever. They deny even havinga problem. I told the service writer type in dodge brake problems and you'll get more than your share of info. He said he couldn't find anything. I've been driving chrysler products for over 40 years... This lemon has ended all that.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab hemi, at 10,000 miles lots of steering wheel vibration while breaking. Took it into the dealer and left it with them just to get a call back telling me to come get it. They told me that there wasn't anything wrong with it just that is was from condensation (lol). The at 14,000 miles called them and took it back in and we got the same story. Then we went through the same thing 2 more times and then at 30,000 miles we took it back in there and they said that there was problems with it and that i would need a whole break job but that they wouldn't fix it under warranty because my warranty wasn't good any longer. Well our inspection was up and it wouldn't pass with the break problems so lots of $$we had to put into it. I don't understand it you can spend top dollars for a truck and they really want your business but when something goes wrong with it they don't want to know nothing or fix it. The dealer ship isn't very nice and loves to fight with people. Needless to say that this is a lease and i will be turning it in when my lease is up and they can have all the problems. I will go some where else for sure.
2004 dodge ram 1500 pickup, every winter i have owed this vehicle, the abs and brake warning system lights come on, warning of abs failure.each time it has been "fixed" the dealer has claimed it is due to moisture in the system....can't believe the same thing can happen over and over again.
8/11/04 i stated to the service rep that the brakes had a shimmy to them. The service tech stated that he would check them out. I left the truck at the dealership so that they could perform the service. I later received a call from the service tech, he stated that my rotors were warped and they would need turning at a cost of $160.00 or replacement all together. I asked why this was not covered under my warranty. His response was that the rotors are only covered up to 12k miles where i had 13000 miles on the vehicle i was out of the warranty range and that the rotor are a wear and tear item.i contacted dodge and this is how they replied: thank you for contacting daimlerchrysler concerning the brake rotors on your dodge ram 1500. Rotors wear or warp for various reasons - road conditions, driving habits and even the weather can play a factor. Additionally, rotors and pads are a "wearable" item, this is why they are warranted for 12 months or 12,000 miles.please review your warranty manual.i understand yourfrustration, particularly in view of both the cost and inconvenience involved. One way we are able to gauge what kind of problems our customers are having is through correspondence from owners such as yourself. Your concern has been addressed.the manufacturer's defect warranty hasexpired, therefore, you are responsible for the repairs in question.thank you for your understanding, and have a good day.unacceptable.
I was driving on the bypass and was turning on to the off ramp went to slow down because of red light and other traffic brakes would not respond had to swerve into the ditch to keep from hitting other traffic brakes would still not engage then i hit a advertisement sign and it stopped me the ambulance came and took me to the hospital where i stayed for 7 days.
My husband bought our 2004 dodge ram 1500 (hemi) in jan 2004 and has about 130,000 miles now.we had problems with the breaks and rotors just like every one else on here in march of 2005 when driving down the highway with cruise on and the truck lost all power.the rpm wentto zero but the truck was stillrunning . To get the rpm to come back on we would have to turn off the truck and restart the truck.every time the electrical light would come on,all while in traffic at 65-70 mph. This went on from march 2005- jan 2007. We have been to the dealer many times and they couldn'tget any codes to come up.then in january 07 we got off the highway to stop at a store and had to make a left turn into the store.the truck made a loud pop noise and died.when my husband started the truck back up it was sputtering and wouldn't stay running without keeping the truck above 2000 rpms.i took the truck to my dad who is a robertson tire repair tech.he couldn't get any codes to come up.then about 45 min after letting the truck sit he ran the codes again and got about fifteen codes.we replaced all the sensors and it didn't help so went to the dealer again.they couldn't get any codes and couldn't tell us what was wrong.why it wouldn't stay running. So i just thought i would file my complaint and let everyone know what happens after its done stalling what happens next. I will not buy another dodge.
I also have a 2004 dodge that has had rotor damage for no apparent reason! i purchased my truck in 2007 with 56,000km. It now has 100,000km and i have had to have the rotors resurfaced twice and completely replaced once. I have also had the brakes done twice. My truck is only used for highway driving, never any towing or hauling and there is no feasible reason for the rotors to be wearing so quickly. I as well have a shudder in the front when breaking on the highway or over 50km/hr. I have had this checked and they cannot find a reason. A heads up to anyone with these trucks get your spindle nuts checked!i took my truck in because it had an odd squeak all of a sudden and they found that my spindle nut was extremely loose! if i had continued on the highway without getting it checked immediately i very well could've died as my entire front driver's side wheel would've apparently come off!also for those of you who have had unexplained stalls when driving get your egr valve checked. I had the same problem and that is what it turned out to be. I have not had any further problems since having it changed about 8 months ago.i love my truck and generally am a fan of dodge however this rotor issue needs to be addressed as it is obviously a defect.
The anti-lock brake controller in my 2004 dodge ram pickup truck caught fire and burned. The wiring harness completely melted through wires and all, and the brake control mechanism itself melted and burned. The part was inspected by chrysler but in their determination since i am the second owner of the vehicle they are not responsible for any repairs. The service manager at my local chrysler dealer has told me that he has seen this problem before, and i have been told by independent service tech's that this is definitely a manufacturers defect. That the braking controller is drawing more amperage than it should be. Chrysler has told me that there is nothing more they will do in this situation.
Truck began to overheat when stopping for more than a few minutes. Taken to the shop and they replaced cooling fan motor and temperature sensor. Three weeks later it did the same thing and all parts we're replaced again. This time it has lasted for six months but truck has begun to overheat again.
At 80,000 miles city driving both left and right hubs failed. Left hub locked up almost sending me into center concrete wall. Damage to ft end was extensive. Called dealership to find out if i had 2 wheel or 4 wheel abs, give them my vin number.. Looooooong story shot, the dealership could not tell me if i had 2 or 4 wheel abs. I had to pull apart to find out. Its a shame the very people that make the truck, can't tell you whats on the truck. $500.00 later 2 wheel abs hubs left and right, replaced by myself. Not to mention the under carriage damage done due to hub locking up. Sent truck to auto shop to repair front end damage. Beware..if you're hearing a noise in front that sounds like a big bolt in your tire and there is not, get the hubs looked at right away. This is how my issue and costly repairs started.
There was no "incident" however a dangerous situation was caught and cured before an "incident" occurred.i own a 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4. Somewhere around the 13,000 mile mark on the truck i started noticing a shudder in the steering wheel while braking at highway speeds.i finally had my 15,000 service done at 18,697 miles.during that service i had the dealer look into the shudder.it was determined the front rotors were out of round and needed to be resurfaced.this is the issue.those rotors had absolutely no reason to need servicing at all with that low amount of miles on the truck.the truck had never been used for towing or any other heavy work or braking.there is definitely a manufacturer defect indicated.also, the dealer did not replace the brake pads when they resurfaced the rotors as according to the dealer, this was dodge policy on warranty work.however, according to ase standard, it is imperative to replace pads when resurfacing a rotor or to resurface the rotor when replacing the pads.i would suggest an investigation into the number rotor resurfacing services that have been performed on this model of dodge truck with less than 30,000 miles. Disc brakes and rotors should last no less than 40,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. When the contact shifted into gear he applied the brake pedal and it extended to the floor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The rubber flexible hydraulic hose line fitting failed which caused the brakes to fail. The dealer will replace the brake flexible line . In june of 2010 when the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance they stated that the parking brake cable corroded and caused the parking braketo fail. The dealer cleaned and released the parking brake. He also experienced failure with the power steering hydraulic hose leaking; however, the dealer placed the hose clamp in order to stop the leaking. The failure and current mileages were 70,000. Updated 1/19/2010 updated 03/28/11
Abs module failed.water leaking from hood caused abs connector to corrode up resulting in failure of theinstrumentation panel (all gauges) including windshield wipers and overhead information center. No anti lock brakes.
Whenever i brake over 30mph pulsating from the front end and the steering wheel jerks back and fourth.on highways it is even worse going over 55mphreplaced rotors and brakes and still doing the same thing.next im replacing the calipers rotors and brakes with aftermarket upgrades and see what happens.
Abs failed, wheels locked up, vehicle collided with vehicle in front. Air bags did not deploy. Vehicle is a write off.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving under normal conditions and at any speed, the vehicle stalled.the vehicle was taken to the dealer on 6 occasions for this problem.the first 3 times the vehicle was inspected, the problem could not be duplicated.on the fourth time the pcm, map sensor and the ngc controller were replaced.this corrected the problem for only a short period of time.the stalling returned and the vehicle was taken back for inspection two more times however, no repairs were made.there is also a problem with the transmission, it has been overhauled 2 times and the vehicle is still having engine hesitation problems.the vehicle was taken to the dealer 5 times due to the abs.when the brakes were applied the rear end of the vehicle pulsates.no repairs were made to the abs and the manufacturer was alerted.
While driving approximately 30 mph abs wire harness fell off.
Brakes locked up on 2004 dodge ram 1500. *mr the brakes locked up.they unlocked on their own and continued to be functional.the consumer was told that something other than the brake fluid was in the brake fluid.the consumer felt that the someone in the service department, selling dealership, or manufacturer topped the fluid off incorrectly.*sc a faulty belt was replaced in the engine.
Warped rotors at 9,000 and the front end jumps all over the road making it very dangerous to steer, the dealer resurfaced rotors and then at 13,000 miles it is happening again.we have complain several times about this and got no wear.now that our warranty is up i guess we get stuck replacing the rotors after paying 35,000.00 for our dodge, we are looking for a smaller suv also and will probably not buy another dodge, chrysler,product again. Never had this problem with our tahoe @ over 60,000 miles.i think this is unfair to consumers!please help investagate this matter.p.s. I seen a adv.for dodge 2500 and it said largest brakes in class that is a joke!

2004 dodge ram 1500 - brake rotor failurethe brake rotors have failed 3 times on the vehicle. The rotors were failed by 9000 miles, 18000 miles, and 24000 miles. The dealer replaced the first two with oem equipment. Dodge claims there is no problem and that this is considered a maintenance item. Vehicle was driven almost exclusively on highway traffic for the 18000 to 24000 mile interval. The 24000 mile rotor replacement was done with performance aftermarket components.
Rotors warped without warning.
The front rotors on my dodge ram 1500 have warped and been replaced twice in 5 months.dealer states this is uncommon.

I have a 2004 dodge ram that barely has 12,000 miles on it, and the rotors are already warped. The brakes are getting to the point that you can almost loose control of the vehicle even at low speeds.i haven't been to the dealer yet, but already know the likely out come.this has been a known problem with dodge/chrysler vehicles for years and continue to plague even the new models.there is an extremely large number of websites posting complaints on this very issue and dodge/chrysler has refused to do anything to correct the problem other than put on a quick band-aid.then they won't even do that after 12,000 miles.i previously owned a 99 grand cherokee with the same exact problem and am very disgruntled that it is still a problem almost 5 years later with the new vehicles.i do not think people are too happy spending 25k to 30000 on a vehicle that they have to take in and get the same thing fixed over and over every 6 -10k miles during the life of the vehicle.this is truly an issue that needs to be investigated extensively.
Rotors warped at 14000 miles and now are warped again at 24000 miles. Dealer states driving habits. Never had this problem with any other vehicle and didn't expect it from a 35000 dollar, tough built truck.something needs to be done.
Rotors: rotors: rotors, i have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 (hemi) and at 11,000 miles both my front and rear rotors were warped and rears were grooved like a record player. Dealer replaced the rotors but not the pads. I now have an additional 5,000 miles on the vehicle and again my rotors are warped.
I have encountered a series of brake rotor failures on my 2004 dodge ram 1500 truck. Dealer has twice turned the rotors and once replaced them and the truck has less than 30,000 miles. I was told today that the rotors are warped again and need to be replaced. This truck is not driven hard and there is no good explanation for this problem other than poor quality parts or repair. Dodge will not warranty the brakes or their repairs to brakes. I have now spent over $400 at my local dodge dealer...and no satisfaction. This is my first and last dodge truck. Hopefully nhtsa will investigate the problem and force dodge to act.
Vehicle has approximately 16,000 miles on it. At approximately 11,000 miles, the brake rotors became warped. Initially, the condition was barely noticeable and progressive escalated until it became a violent shudder. The rotors were resurfaced at the dealer at approx 12,300 miles (at my expense). The vehicle has again begun to show signs of this occuring. Refer also to complaint numbers 10059615, 10087061, 10086270, and 10087061.
At 15,000 miles on vehicle-- vibration, sometimes severe, when braking at speeds over 30 mph. Dealer found all 4 rotors warped.after 3 trips back they performed repairs authorized by chrysler in technical service bulletin 05-001-05 (replace pads, hub, cut rotors). Did not fix problem.dealer claims nothing else he can do.
Component: service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:rotordetails: 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab hemi. At 10,000 miles lots of steering wheel shudder while braking. Many with same complaints. Had same problem with previous chrysler product and brake repair stated the rotors are built to minimum tolerances. This is why the rotors warp. I see people are getting charged to fix this obvious manufacturers defect. Also, in emergency situations could be life threatening.
Dt: the contact stated the rotors warped.they have been replaced once and cut twice. The truck only had 17,794 miles on it. The truck had 6,000 miles on it the first time the rotorswere replaced. The dealer did not know what the cause of the problem was.
Front brake rotors warped. Mileage driven was less than 13,500. No cause on operator part for failure. Had rotors turned to correct problem.
2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab hemi. At 10,000 miles lots of steering wheel shudder while braking. Dealer replaced rotors, pads and calipers under warranty.

2004 dodge quad cab 1500 pickup.

2004 dodge 1500 ram quad cab truck purchased the truck has a vibration during speeds 60-70 mph - team dodge stone mountain, where we purchased, has tried to service twice before and now the service manager, tom hudson, and the chrysler factory representative say this truck cannot be repaired.we have requested a buy back since dodge did not offer a temp vehicle while this was trying to be repaired or not even now as they have had this vehicle since 7-1.we have purchased another vehicle, different make and model, and are now out a great deal of money.this was done because they said they would purchase this automobile back.here we sit 7-13 and nothing has been accomplished.nhtsa needs to know this problem because dodge is not saying what the problem is just that it is unrepairable.we are concerned that if this problem continues whithout notification to other dodge truck owners, there may be an accident.there may be a situation where this vibration causes the driver uncontrolable steering.please advise someone. *la consumer seeking full repurchase funds for the vehicle.*la
Braking on the highway led to engine stall and full loss of power to vehicle. Vehicle stalled in left lane and nearly caused a crash.also, rack and pinion steering began to fail at 50,000 miles. Replaced at 54,000.
Steering rack leaks severly.
Had just filled gas tank fifteen minutes earlier. Driving on mountain rd. Slowed for curve and engine quit, almost ran into logging truck headon. This has happened several times after fillup. Once while driving 65 mph on freeway. Slowed to let another vehicle in front of me and engine quite as soon as i touched the brakes. When i fill gas tank it usually die at first stop. Does this until i have used up some of the gas. Have asked dealer who sold the truck to me to look into this several times before i get killed.no response. I no longer drive that road just after fill up. Have checked the internet and found that several 1500 ram owners have had the same problem. It will be like the ignition switch problem. People will have to get killed to get it fixed.
When i purchased this dodge ram 1500 hemi 5.7 it had a bad engine. After the engine was fixed, i notice the truck would just stop running or stall and no engine light.

The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While reversing the vehicle, the contact felt the steering wheel become constrictive and heard an abnormal noise. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering unit failed and needed to be replaced. Also, the front lower ball joint needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
Began to slow down for a traffic light and my truck stalled while moving almost causing me to rear end the person ahead of me since i lost all control of my brakes and power steering.from what i'm reading this had happened to many people with the same year, make and model vehicle without any type of recall and its too dangerous of a situation.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.while driving 15 mph, the vehicle would stall when turning or while stopped.the power steering would fail and no warning lights were present.the failure only occurred in cold weather.the dealer inspected the vehicle and found no failures.the purchase date was unknown.the current mileage was 26,250 and failure mileage was approximately 25,500.

As i was driving on the freeway at 70 mph, i heard a loud "smack!" before the engine stalled and i lost power steering and power brakes. Luckily, i'm pretty strong and was able to pull off to the shoulder. The engine would start but not turn over with 4 or 5 attempts. It started on the fifth or sixth try but would not idle. I was finally able to get it to start and on my way to the mechanic, i could tell something was broken in the engine. After inspecting the engine and looking into it, it's been determined that a valve spring broke and sent the valve through the piston and into the cylinder, effectively ceasing the engine while the vehicle traveled at freeway speeds.
While driving down the road the left front headlight would give out at random times brought to dealer and was diagnosed as fcm (later found out by another mechanic that it was a loose connector at the tipm issue was also the same exact thing on our work truck a 2004 dodge ram 3500 dually). The main safety issue is with the power rack and pinion, it has given out twice on the road in heavy traffic, the fix the first time was a complete replacement of the power rack and pinion system. The second time, the replacement of inner tie rod seals. Another computer issue was brought in for loss of power to whole truck at random times, cruise control failing, power surges. Unit replaced twice in one year to correct the problem.
2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7l hemi will stop running while driving.the engine completely shuts off while the vehicle is driving and the steering locks up.i have had several close calls and am currently seeking help in this matter. This is an extremely dangerous problem.i've taken it to three mechanics who have replaced all the oxygen sensors, the mass air flow sensor, throttle body, egr valve, air intake filter and the crank shaft sensor.there seems to be no end to this and everyone is just shooting in the dark.the dealerships do not get a code when they hook up to the vehicle.i am in fear of my safety.i have found several other people on the internet with the same problem.
Serious shake in steering and ability to control steering.
While pulling out of a parking lot to proceed on a main road the vehicle died when i attempted to pull out and cross multiple lanes of on coming traffic. I pushed the accelerator and the truck briefly accelerated and then just died. I was able to put it in neutral and restart the engine. I purchased this vehicle with approximately 6500 miles on it and now i have 204000. This is the 4th occasion it has stalled while at low speed for no reason. The latest occasion just occurred on08/11/15 while i was going threw a round about. I entered the round about turning slightly to the right ,half way around coming out of the turn as it was straightening the truck just shut down. In all the occurrences i have been traveling at lower speeds 30 mph or less. 2 almost causing a crash with another vehicle. On the last occurrence i was able to restart the truck while coasting in neutral ,even though the side of the dash that the gear range is burnt out so you cant actually see what gear you are in. All the times it has stalled it has been during summer months hot outside and no precipitation. At times the truck will hit a low rpm while at an idle but will recover. The vehicle has gone years in between stalls first 2 when the truck had less than a 80k, and the last 2 stall outs about a year apart.no codes stored in the computer. Totally random events.
The truck stalls at stops and turns after fuel fill up

I own a 2004 dodge ram 1500whenever it gets wet it shuts down and it starts by the steering getting hard then dash light ( check gage ) comes on then i'm a sitting duck and it won't move.i have had alot of work done by the garage as they said this and that was the issue $2,300 latter it still does the same issue.i'm lost and i know at least 15 other truck owners with the same issue .
When ever it rains i can't drive as water splashes up under the truck from the road my check gage light comes on and then steering gets stiff and you can't turn the steering wheel . I had to have it towed 3 times to a garage and once it sat inside out of the rain and dryer out the wheel was able to turn. This has almost caused accidents and deaths as i couldn't steer and in 2 cases i had to stop in the middle of a freeway as i couldn't turn around the bend in the road .

I bought this truck about 2.5 months ago used with 59xxx miles on it.this incident has happened a few times now.the first time i was coming off the freeway approaching a stoplight.as i was slowing down when i hit about 20 mph my truck completely stalled.all power was on after stall, but i had no brakes, no steering, and no engine.luckily im a strong guy and had plenty of room to keep a straight line and very forcefully apply the non powered brakes.it started right back up so i kind of shrugged it off.it happened a few more times since then, same symptoms: slowing down for a turn or a stop.... Engine dies, no steering, no brakes, dead truck, starts right up.however last night christmas day it stalled on me a quarter of the way through a left hand turn at about 15 mph.i couldn't turn the wheel hard enough to finish my turn, i couldn't apply the brakes hard enough to stop in a safe amount of time, i died in the middle of the oncoming traffic lane.i had to quickly apply my emergency brake. Stopping just in time about 1 foot short of driving into a guardrail with a steep embankment on the other side.i am literally scared to drive this truck now, scared for my life and other peoples lives.apparently there seems to be a common problem with these trucks stalling, but no recalls to my knowledge or definitive problem has been diagnosed... Please help!respectfully, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2004 dodge ram 1500 - power steering hoses, clamps and piping:i noticed the power steering pump was making a loud noise and when i checked the fluid level, the pump was dry.further investigation reveled a large puddle of power steering fluid on my garage floor.fortunately i wasn't driving the truck when this happened.the leak came from the area where the high and low pressure lines connect tothe steering rack.inquires on the web led me to this site, and proved that this is definitely not an isolated incident.the loss of power steering on a vehicle this size, especially if towing a large load, could be, and probably would be very dangerous.dodge should take into account all of the incidents pertaining to this, and issue a recall for the repair before someone is not able to write a complaint like this..

Http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/ram_1500/2002/steering/rack_and_pinion_failure.shtmlconsider this a safety defect lost steering while driving and also a manufacturer defect that chrysler lcc is not standing behind. Please go to the website above and see all the common complaints. I believe this is a known problem not being addressed by dodge or by pressure of the nhtsa to have dodge reimburse and recall this common problem. If chrysler is going to ask for a bailout then they need to use some of our money to make this right with the american public and nhtsa needs to pressure them to get this safety, poor engineering problem fixed! i filed with bbb of auburn hills, mi. They only look at warranty issues. Vehicles should not have their power steering and rack and pinion going out at 36k miles! chevy, ford, nissan, toyota doesn't! look at the website complaints and do your job nhtsa...i am forwarding this onto the us attorney general's office. Maybe with a new vision and new president we can start fixing these problems and start helping the people who help fund all these government organizations and government in general..if i sound '!@#$% yes i am...i cannot afford to pay $800 to fix something that shouldn't be going out and i have two 2004 ram 1500s and both have this problem? not a coincidence...jack blair .

Getting very hard to steer and wheel keeps locking up, feels loose, and sounds like it is breaking (grinding noises).
Engine stalling by 2004 dodge ram 1500-5.7l v8 engine. This has been a recurring issue and directly led to an accident causing over $10,000 in damage and near fatal injuries. Further, this vehicle (and others i have become aware of) have been serviced at the dealership on time/schedule but this issue has never been addressed nor have they been recalled or repaired despite numerous complaints. Fortunately the repairs were covered by insurance but the vehicle still has the same problem for which neither the local dealer nor chrysler-dodge et, al. Has addressed this issue (although reading the files it is clear they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and man hours to refute/dismiss this matter.

15v-313 we have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 that has all the issues i've read on here for complaints. The wind shield wipers only work on the highest setting and when turned off stop wherever on the windshield when you turn the switch to shut them off, the engine seems to be leaking oil some place, have had to replace both front wheel hub assembelies, rear end has foam in the fluid, im guessing from reading this that my rear axel is about to fly out from underneath my teuck while driving by the way it sounds and slips, and now a recall on air bags. I fear everytime i drive behind the wheel of my truck and by the sounds of it after reading all these complaints that there is good reason to fear for my life. How many people have to die before something is done. These vehicles should not be made available to drive if there this dangerous. Sounds like chrysler should be buying these trucks back so all there customers dont have to risk there lives driving down the road in a poor designed vehicle the produced. Not sure why there allowed to keep them on the streets being so dangerous to drive. Our truck has every problem that people have complained about on here but yet only has one recall when looked up by vin. Why is that?

Today 11/13/08 my husband was driving his 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab, purchased new. While driving, the steering completely gave out almost causinga very serious accident.it took all his strength to get the steering to turn enough to avoid crashing.upon taking it to a dealer he was told the manifold shield was rusted and fell into the linkage. Although this is being repaired under warranty by the dealer i am not ready to leave it at that, i expect some kind of explanation from dodge why something this dramatic would happen to a very high end vehicle only 4 years old. The thought of what may have occurred because of this neglect on dodges part is unthinkable.i expect this incident to be fully examined and will also be contacting dodge regarding this unacceptable fault in their vehicle. No warranty can cover damaged lives and possible death that is failure almost caused.i am now and in the future very entrusting of dodge products and can only hope that my reporting this may help avoid injury to another dodge owner.
I bought a 2004 dodge 1500 a month ago. The truck has been good till yesterday when i was going to pickup my son when the power steering was not working. Took it into dealership $1400 for new rack and pinion. If i am still lucky it will not be a pump as well. Truck had 162460km when i bought it and has 163496km now. The thought of a clear safety on the truck and just over 1000km put on it and the rack and pinion needing to be replaced is not looking good for the dealership. Just wanted to let people know that this issue continues.
Steering vibrations or shudders when maneuvering at low speeds, making turns etc.not consistently but intermittently seems to get worse with time.seems to only do it when in motion and not when at a stand still and turning wheels.

I was traveling 70mph on interstate 70west and my front passenger side tire rim and axle came off my 2004 dodge 1500 quad cab pick up there is only 80 plus thousand miles. It tore up my front fender and door. I did not hit anything in the road. There was no warning of a problem, except that my cruise control kick off and would not reset. Than my brake warning and abs warming lights came on about 2 mins later my steering started to shimmy and than wheel assemble came off. I was lucky the vehicle did not grab and flip. I was able to get to side of road safely.
Driving down the road at about 35 mph and all of a sudden i had no power to my brakes or steering and the engine stopped. I managed to pull over placed it in park and it started right up. All electrical components remained working at the time of the incident. This scenario has happened multiple times and is a major safety issue.on a different occasion i was sitting at stop light and it turned green took my foot off of the brake and pushed the accelerator the and the truck rolled backwards and almost hit the vehicle behind me since there was a slight decline towards the rear of the truck. Again all electrical was fine, but the engine quit.for all scenarios i did not even know the engine stopped besides the brakes and steering had no power. The engine just simply stopped running,
Truck started squeaking then making a popping noise while turning in the driveway. The steering wheel makes a noise while turning. Didn't know there was any recalls on this truck. I took it to the shop and the man said the wheel was about to come off.
Was driving in my neighborhood at approx. 20mph when the front end fell out onto the road.
Vehicle stalls when slowing down for a stop sign, traffic or red light or when turning.
Upper and lower ball joints on front suspension have deteriorated to the point that they must be replaced for concerns of safety.this is very low mileage for ball joints to fail. And since my 2wd truck has unitized ball joints (part of upper control arm, which also has to be replaced), they are very expensive.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 regular cab pickup w/ 20" wheels & oem goodyear wrangler hp tiers 5.7 hemi. Vehicle is 100% stock and unmodified and maintained meticulously. At random intervals on the highway between 60 & 65 mph. The vehicle will abruptly develop a massive shaking sensation. Violent enough to make it feel like it may loose control or have a flat tire. Then if you slow down the truck ride smoothes as glass and will be fine till it starts to build again, or a bump sets it off.this problem is well known throwout the internet and commonly called "death wobble". This condition seems to affect primarily ram 1500-2500 from 2003-2008.
After filling gas tank full, engine dies when braking and turning a corner (losing steering) and coming to a stop.starts back up fine, but stalls again on next low speed braking or turning a corner.very similar to other accounts that i have read.i've had new plugs and o2 sensors costing mucho for zero result.when this occurs slowing down to make a slow turn, i have to throw it up to neutral to restart.once i threw it in park going slowly, but it was dangerous to screech to a halt with a car behind me almost rear ended me.i've been told the same crap by dealers about this and i know they are playing dumb.the only remedy thati use for this is similar to others which is just don't fill it all the way up unless you are getting right out on the highway to run those speeds and not be stopping.i can't let others drive my truck unless i make sure that the tank is below three quarters of a tank.i can't believe that there's not a quick and dirty fix for this.seems like you should disable emissions devices in the interest of safety.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that power steering fluid leaked onto the rack and pinion. As a result, the steering wheel would become very hard to control when the failure occurred. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was confirmed that the rack and pinion was leaking. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 130,000 and the current mileage was 154,094.
The steering wheel locked up 5 times in 15,000 miles.the steering was repaired and it happened three more times since the repair.speed has no impact on the steering locking up. It generally happened when the car was warming up just from being started.
Engine died twice in 2 1/2 years total loss of steering a 240 lbs man can not turn the wheel after engine dies brakes work fine just no steering.
Dt: the consumer's 16 year old son was driving the 2004 dodge ram pickup on 5-24-05, and the driver pulled out into traffic to make a left turn. When the steering was turned it kept on going around and around both ways. The steering wheel was connected to nothing at that point.driver waited till traffic cleared, anddriver had to push the vehicle out of the road and wait for the police to come and call a tow truck.the vehicle is now being towed back to the dealership. The owner has been in contact with chrysler, and they would look at the vehicle. Chrysleris looking at the vehicle to see if they can fix it.
On 02/15/08 i discovered a puddle of fluid underneath my truck. Upon investigation i found that the leak was coming from the power steering rack, where the return line enters it. The rubber return hose is attached to the stud with a hose clamp allied at the factory. However the clamp is so loose that the hose can be turned by hand. This loose clamp allowed fluid to escape. I installed a new house clamp and then had to add almost 1/2 quart of fluid to the power steering reservoir. After searching the internet i found a dodge ram forum and found 3 pages of posts about this exact topic. Apparently this is a very frequent happening, which leads to the total draining of the power steering fluid. In turn the power steering pump often fails. In addition the lack of fluid and steering assistance cause the steering rack to completely fail!! any loss of power steering in a 5,800 pound truck is completely unsafe and must be dealt with by dodge, who designed this system poorly.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. When the contact shifted into gear he applied the brake pedal and it extended to the floor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The rubber flexible hydraulic hose line fitting failed which caused the brakes to fail. The dealer will replace the brake flexible line . In june of 2010 when the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance they stated that the parking brake cable corroded and caused the parking braketo fail. The dealer cleaned and released the parking brake. He also experienced failure with the power steering hydraulic hose leaking; however, the dealer placed the hose clamp in order to stop the leaking. The failure and current mileages were 70,000. Updated 1/19/2010 updated 03/28/11
I noticed a power steering fluid leak and brought my pickup in to dealer for evaluation. Notified me that my power steering hoses were shot. 29,780 miles on vehicle and not covered under warranty since the hoses had a repair clamp installed from prior failure. 2 months later was driving on interstate when my pickup suddenly lost power steering capabilities. I was able to pull vehicle over without incident and returned to dealership the same day and they informed me that rack/pinion was shot. Not under warranty due to 1 month past 3year warranty period. 30,200miles on vehicle. Shop foreman advised me behind closed doors that this is a continuous problem with "northern area" ram 1500's and they alone had serviced over 200 similar type 1500 ram vehicles with the same power steering problems i also had just in the past 2-3 months! the foreman also informed me there is a 5-7 day backorder on rack and pinions because they are in high demand due to this dodge engineering problem. He gave me a number to dodge to complain, i called with the reply from dodge as "i'm sorry but due to your warranty being past by 1 mo. We will be unable to goodwill assist you with your problem". I'm not bitter but feel this needs to be looked into due to obvious safety issues. Thank you.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 liter with 48k miles that has had numerous problems (e.g. Erg valve replaced, power steering reservoir (currently being replaced), and engine stalling at an idle, while turning, while backing up, or coasting. The stalling occurs out of the blue as if someone flipped a switch causing the engine to die. The electrical stays on, just the engine dies. Most of the time it starts right back up but sometimes it takes awhile. The stalling has happened numerous times and is very unpredictable. The stalling began about three - four months ago. I currently have it in for repairs at lee's summit dodge, lee's summit missouri.
Steering-at approximately 70,000 miles, the power steering fluid began to require attention.at present, i have to add fluid every 3-4 weeks.my son has a pick-up, same year, same model and has the same problem.yesterday, in a parking lot, another motorist informed me that, he too, had the same problem, only worse.he pointed to a puddle on the ground-steering fluid.
I was driving down interstate 65 in mobile, al doing a speed of around 65 mph.suddenly and without warning, my steering wheel locked-up and i was not able to turn the steering wheel left or right.thankfully, there were not many cars on the highway and i was able to coast across 3 lanes of the highway, finally stopping in a ditch on an off ramp.the problem that occurred was the power steering pump popped off, wrapped around my serpentine belt, and cracked my head gasket.they replaced all parts that were damaged.one month later, the windshield wiper modulator malfunctioned during a rain storm and i had no wind shield wipers.
Vehicle had under 100,000 miles when this started.1. Power steering pump leaks2. Sometimes you can't put it in gear after you put it in park.

I noticed a power steering fluid leak and brought my pickup in to dealer for evaluation. Notified me that my power steering hoses were shot. 29,780 miles on vehicle and not covered under warranty since the hoses had a repair clamp installed from prior failure. 2 months later was driving on interstate when my pickup suddenly lost power steering capabilities. I was able to pull vehicle over without incident and returned to dealership the same day and they informed me that rack/pinion was shot. Not under warranty due to 1 month past 3year warranty period. 30,200miles on vehicle. Shop foreman advised me behind closed doors that this is a continuous problem with "northern area" ram 1500's and they alone had serviced over 200 similar type 1500 ram vehicles with the same power steering problems i also had just in the past 2-3 months! the foreman also informed me there is a 5-7 day backorder on rack and pinions because they are in high demand due to this dodge engineering problem. He gave me a number to dodge to complain, i called with the reply from dodge as "i'm sorry but due to your warranty being past by 1 mo. We will be unable to goodwill assist you with your problem". I'm not bitter but feel this needs to be looked into due to obvious safety issues. Thank you.
40,600 miles and i have a rack and pinion fluid leak.i had heard that there was a recall on this and have not been able to locate it on line.i have not taken it to the dealer yet and will do it next week.
At approximately 10,000 miles our 2004 dodge ram 1500 began pulling hard to the right.at highway speeds, the vehicle will cross 4 lanes of traffic within seconds if the driver is not pulling to the left in order to compensate for the right pull. We have had the vehicle aligned several times by different dealerships as well as at alignment shops, and the issue persists.daimler chrysler claimed the issue was tire related, and we had the tire dealer move tires around repeatedly trying to make the problem go away.we have also replaced tires with no change in the pull. Recently, we noticed the pull is far worse when the vehicle has a full tank of gas, which leads me to suspect weight or weight distribution is a factor. We had steering rack and differential failure at approximately 25,000 miles. Both were replaced and the problem continues to exist.also, alignment numbers go from within specification to wildly out of specification each time the truck is placed on a rack. This vehicle control issue is 100% repeatable.
Rack and pinion steering.
1.)loss of power steering fluid2.)failure of rack and pinion seal, loss of steering, very dangerous situation3.)replacement of rack and pinion steering, new part from dealer was only one available, cost exceeding $800.
Rack and pinion failed after 33000 miles and two months past warranty.took to the dealer and was told the rack and pinion was on national back order but they had one left.national back order?sounds like this is a problem.

I own a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab truck 45,000 miles, today thepower steering rack blew the seals out while my wife was driving home from work while turning corner she almost crashed into a building due to not being able to turn it.
The events leading up to the failure are unclear at this time because one day i drove the truck and it was fine. It sat for two days and when i drove it to work it wouldn't steer. At first i thought it was the power steering pump but upon inspection that wasn't it. It was however low on fluid a bit but not enough to cause it to be steering the way it was. As i put fluid it i watched it go right through to the bottom of the truck. Further inspection revealed that the steering rack was leaking past a seal and the entire rack had to be replaced. Now this is a 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 and should not be having this problem. We don't go off roading with it or anything else that would cause this and for a three year old truck this shouldn't be happening.
The power steering on my truck has gone out twice in the last week. The dealer replaced the p.s. Hoses with newly designed (crimped end in place of hose clamps) ones. This worked fine for a couple of days. As i left work on the 30th, the front seal on the rack blew, and i almost hit other parked cars do to a lack of steering. It has been very cold here for the past few days, don't know what affect this could have on it. The dealer will fix to the tune of $600.00 plus. The dealer told me that this was the second truck this week with this same problem to come into their service dept.

The dashboard started cracking several years ago and has steadily gotten much worse.there was no impact, the dash simply cracked and seems to be disintegrating.the edges are now sharp like glass and i believe this presents a danger to the occupants in the event of an impact.until now, i assumed mine was an isolated issue but recently decided to investigate how it could be fixed and came across hundreds of other complaints posted to various car complaint websites for the very same issue so i know this is a widespread issue.
2004 dodge ram.consumer writes in regards to vehicle mechanical and dealership service department repair issues.the consumer stated he experienced a non-constant shake or tremble and self-braking, with a loss of power and the inability to be controlled, both when hauling horses and without any tow. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
The panel on the drivers side (with the handle) broke when using it to assist myself into truck which caused me to fall out the truck.there is no other handle to use to get into truck.i was told by dealer that this is not what the handle is to be used for.i'm sure the passenger side is ready to break too.part number i replaced was 5gr29tl2ag.
Airbags recall when to have it checki and the dash board broke apart like peanut brittle.

I have a 2004 dodge 1500 4.7l that recently began to crack on the passenger side of the dashboard.since the appearance of the cracking, i made two calls to chrysler to seek assistance in getting it replaced with no success.my first call was on 10/21/2008, i spoke to a lady by the name of cathy, she promised to look into this and give me a call back. I was assigned a ref # 18012888, but never received that call.i called again on 10/31/2008, and spoke to a lady named sheryl who was extremely rude and even threaten to cut off the call, because i asked her why am i repeating information i already gave in my first call.she told me that i needed to follow up with the dealership, which i explained to her that they did not take any information and it was the dealership that told me to call them (csn 800-992-1997).i am still waiting for her to call back.i find this a travesty that this is the one of the few times i decided to buy an american vehicle and this is how i get treated.i will never by american again.you will also see that this is a widespread issue with the dodge trucks as shown on this web links: http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/ram_1500/2003/accessories-interior/cracked_dashboard.shtmli hope someone will respond positively to the vehicle owners and probably chrysler will do the right thing.

20004 dodge ram cracked dashboard.
On 02/15/08 i discovered a puddle of fluid underneath my truck. Upon investigation i found that the leak was coming from the power steering rack, where the return line enters it. The rubber return hose is attached to the stud with a hose clamp allied at the factory. However the clamp is so loose that the hose can be turned by hand. This loose clamp allowed fluid to escape. I installed a new house clamp and then had to add almost 1/2 quart of fluid to the power steering reservoir. After searching the internet i found a dodge ram forum and found 3 pages of posts about this exact topic. Apparently this is a very frequent happening, which leads to the total draining of the power steering fluid. In turn the power steering pump often fails. In addition the lack of fluid and steering assistance cause the steering rack to completely fail!! any loss of power steering in a 5,800 pound truck is completely unsafe and must be dealt with by dodge, who designed this system poorly.

Oncoming vehicle lost control came across 4 lanes to hit front of truck. Dodge is totaled but air bags did not deploy.i contacted dodge to have them check them out and was told, first a special task force would come check the airbags and we would be compensated,then later was told due to the age and mileage of my truck they wouldn't but i could take it to a dodge dealership and see if they would run the test at my expense.dodge didn't seem to care why air bags didn't go off since the truck is 10 years old.

There is extreme rust out on my dodge ram above the rear wheel well. This is on the box of the truck. The dodge trucks are rusting from the inside out. There is foam material behind the body. Once this material gets damp or wet, it starts rusting the vehicles from the inside out. My truck only has 82,000 miles and is rusted completely thru the outer metal. This is weakening the integrity of the body.i did talk to a body shop and they have to cut the body, remove the foam and rust and weld a new patch panel in place.
The front doors leak air really bad going at highway speed you cannot carry a conversation with out yelling. Took it to dealer and they said it needed new door seals because of normal use and how old it was and the amount of miles on it had made the seals no longer working properly. I told them i had a 1996 with 210,000 on it and you could hear a pin drop it was so quite. They charged me $60 and did nothing for my problem!!
My truck dash top part started cracking out, at first it had just a small crack on the passenger side and now after driving for couple weeks in a daily basis (i drive less than 30 miles total per day) it just keeps cracking all over. I had before a 2001 dodge ram and this happend to it also, that you could actually see holes through it.....
Paint on front bumper peeling right off, unknown if any other complaints about the paint job. It is the white. 2004 ram 1500 5.7l standard cab.
My rear bumper which is a tow bumper just started rusting after the 36 month warranty has expired. I have an extended bumper to bumper warranty, but i was told this was not covered. I was also told by the dealer that this was not the first one that they had seen. They suggested that maybe it was bad plating which was causing the rust . This is a costly repair about $575.00 i just don't want other people to be caught off guard and to watch their rear bumper for defects.

While getting into 2004 dodge ram 1500 the mounting handle inside the cab failed and caused me to fall off the running tube onto the ground striking my head. I am handicapped and require a strong grip to assist me into the cab of the truck. This vehicle was chosen due to its wide doors as my foot has been fused and will not bend. I am not sure why i was not seriously injured.
The handle to assist getting into my 2004 dodge ram 1500 came loose and dropped me on the ground. Being 69 years old this is unacceptable. On top of it all i had to pay for a new one....large piece to just replace a handle!! expensive too! why can't american manufacturers get their [xxx]together? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Dt: consume rowneda 2004 dodge 1500 ram.sometimes it will stall whileconsumer was driving.once it caused the consumer to bump a brick wall.which caused a slight dent in the bumper.it has a vibration that seemed to be coming from the transmission.sometimes the vehicle will not start.the rear driver side door would not unlock.when the dealer ran a diagnostic test they said that it was not showing the codes for these problems.after five tries the dealer was able to get the door lock fixed.as for the other problems the dealer put a new computer in the vehicle. This fixed the problem for about a week, and then the problems came back.the manufacturer was the one that said to put the new computer in.
A two year old 38 pound toddler was climbing up the tailgate and was able to release the tailgate.as a result the child's arm broke.the consumer feels the tailgate should not have been released so easily.this incident also put a dent in the tailgate.
I had just finished cutting the grass in my backyard. Being that i had grass clippings and dust all over me and my clothes i asked my wife to move the vehicles into the backyard so i could cut the frontyard. My wife is 5' 3" tall and our truck is a dodge ram 1500 w/ 20" rims. So for her to be able to get into the truck on either side she needs the assistance of the leverage handle or (the oh '!@#$% handle) as we call it. When she proceeded to pull herself up into the seat, just before being able to seat herself behind the wheel the leverage handle came off the frame of the cab. The second i realized what happened i was on my knees by her side asking her questions to determine if she was o.k. She landed on her butt first then her backside and then the back of her head hit the ground. A friend of ours was there to hear her fall but he did not see the accident because he is blind. I asked him to get a pillow from the couch so i could place it under her head. She had to lay there on the ground for about 10 minutes to get her bearings back together. After she was able to sit upright on the ground i took pictures of everything. I started looking at and studying the construction of the leverage handle and i must say that it is a very poor design. The only thing that was anchoring this handle to the cab frame was 2 small bolts, not what i expected to see in a leverage handle that supportsno leverage at all. After about 2 hours she said she had a migraine headache and her neck was hurting. I took her to the emergency room where she was given a cat scan, pain killer and muscle relaxer. The e-room doctor said she has minor head injury and cervical neck strain. The injuries she received from this accident are all minor and she is very lucky her injuries are minor. With all of the complaints, accidents, deaths and defaults i saw in the website that lead me to this complaint form, it would probably take an act of congress to get daimler chrysler to fix my truck.
On my 2004 dodge ram 1500 crew cab ,.the frame has an area 6 in by 10 in that is rusted through aprox directly under rear seat area i have only recently purchased the vehicle which is otherwise in near perfect cond.

Upper and lower ball joints on front suspension have deteriorated to the point that they must be replaced for concerns of safety.this is very low mileage for ball joints to fail. And since my 2wd truck has unitized ball joints (part of upper control arm, which also has to be replaced), they are very expensive.

I was driving at freeway speed, around 70 mph. Suddenly, i heard a noise from the rear of the truck and i noticed my speedometer went to zero. I was still moving at the same speed. The fault code identified a failure in the speed sensor in the rear differential. I was out of warranty, so i pulled the differential cover off and found what was left of the speed sensor in the bottom of the housing. I also found pieces of what was later identified as c clips from my lsd clutch assembly. The inductive portion of the speed sensor protrudes into the differential housing and was hit by the flying pieces of c clips. The carrier bearing also had a grove cut into it by these clips as they worked their way out. I am told that if i had not caught this, it would have resulted in carrier bearing failure and lock up of my rear axle. I removed all of the metal c clip pieces and removed the remaining c clips that had not yet fallen out. I don't know if there is any connection, but my left rear leaf spring cracked in half on the lower main leaf. I had to replace the spring assembly at my cost. I now have a permanent whine at low speeds and currently have 125,000 miles on my truck. I am certainly glad that i found these metal pieces when i did! there appears to be many complaints regarding this failure in my truck model, ranging from model years 2003 through 2006 ram 1500 equipped with the 5.7 hemi. At this time, chrysler has not acknowledged the patterned failures in these rear differentials.

While driving saturday, 11/23/2013,i noticed a vibration and humming noise coming from the front of my vehicle. Also, when i turned the car would croak or moan. I could tell something was wrong because my brake pedal became very spongy and had to be pressed in fully in order to stop the car. I began to head home with the truck as i did not want a safety hazard where i could not stop the vehicle. I also noticed that in order to steer straight, i had to hold my steering wheel approximately 30 degrees left. Upon getting the truck home i immediately saw my problem.my front passenger tire was sitting in the wheel well on an angle.large amounts of smoke were pouring out of the undercarriage, and rubber goo was leaving a trail where i drove. I jacked the car and removed the wheel, and could see even more.my wheel hub assembly was separated and broken. This caused my tire to sit on the hub crooked and lean against my control arm.the heat from this friction was so intense that it melted my cv boot, which is why i had a rubber goo trail.it also melted the abs sensor on the wheel hub itself. Causing my absto go out. The hub itself had a piece completely fallen off, as if a weld broke.the heat also warped my rotor, and cracked my brake pads in that side. Luckily, i did not have any wheel separation or total failure of the braking system, causing crash or injury. I was barely able to utilize braking and drive home at about 20mph with hazards on.the wheel hub assembly has been recalled in several year dodge ram 1500s, including 2004, 2006, and others, for bearing issues.however dodge claimed it was only a faulty part in 2wd applications.now we know this is not true.i have a 4wd ram that had the hub assembly fail and a partial braking failure. I am out of room, but i have pictures of the parts broken on the car, and pictures of the removed parts as well.
At approximately 10,000 miles our 2004 dodge ram 1500 began pulling hard to the right.at highway speeds, the vehicle will cross 4 lanes of traffic within seconds if the driver is not pulling to the left in order to compensate for the right pull. We have had the vehicle aligned several times by different dealerships as well as at alignment shops, and the issue persists.daimler chrysler claimed the issue was tire related, and we had the tire dealer move tires around repeatedly trying to make the problem go away.we have also replaced tires with no change in the pull. Recently, we noticed the pull is far worse when the vehicle has a full tank of gas, which leads me to suspect weight or weight distribution is a factor. We had steering rack and differential failure at approximately 25,000 miles. Both were replaced and the problem continues to exist.also, alignment numbers go from within specification to wildly out of specification each time the truck is placed on a rack. This vehicle control issue is 100% repeatable.

I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 regular cab pickup w/ 20" wheels & oem goodyear wrangler hp tiers 5.7 hemi. Vehicle is 100% stock and unmodified and maintained meticulously. At random intervals on the highway between 60 & 65 mph. The vehicle will abruptly develop a massive shaking sensation. Violent enough to make it feel like it may loose control or have a flat tire. Then if you slow down the truck ride smoothes as glass and will be fine till it starts to build again, or a bump sets it off.this problem is well known throwout the internet and commonly called "death wobble". This condition seems to affect primarily ram 1500-2500 from 2003-2008.
Both fronthub/wheel-bearing assemblies have failed on my truck. My truck has 50k miles! the front wheel-bearing on both sides makes noises, sometimes sounds like it is catching or getting stuck.

Around 6/2009 my passenger side wheel hub starting to make a cracking and popping noise at parking lot speeds, i took it to have replaced.it was replaced with a new part.now only a year later my driver side wheel hub is making the same cracking and popping noise.i believe the bearings are sub standard and need to be checked into.
2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4, 68,000 miles, not commercial use, never used for towing, never used to plow snow, no modifications made ever, driven on paved highways and city streets, and never driven off road.on december 11th 2009 i was driving to work on a smooth paved road when a humming began in the front of the truck.in a matter of 1-2 miles the passenger front wheel began vibrating hard and the vehicle started pulling hard to the right.this almost caused me to loose control.i checked the suspension the next day and found the passenger front hub bearing worn out and severely loose.i could rock the tire 1/4 inch each direction.upon inspecting the hub there were no dark spots indicating grease had leaked out. I disassembled the front hub and found it bone dry of grease and ruined. I believe this is the same bearing assembly, or very similar, as the 2006 ram 1500s.the failure was sudden with only a minor humming before severe vibration, wheel drag, and almost a loss of steering.the cost of parts alone cost me approximately $185 at an aftermarket parts store and $350 at chrysler.it is obvious that chrysler installed the same type of defectivebearings in all the 04,05,06 and possibly newer ram 1500 pickups.nhtsa should enforce this recall through chrysler on all 04,05, and 06 models before a fatality occurs.below is the 2006 recall.2006 dodge ram 1500units affected:86333recall number:07v038000summary:on certain pickup trucks, the front wheel bearing may have received an insufficient quantity of grease during the manufacturing process.

On 2-23-07, i had occasion to drive my 2004 dodge, ram pu, 1500 4x4 approximately 400 miles from where i live in western ny.druing the trip we hear a slight humming noise coming from under the vehicle.due to heavy snow during the trip we thought it was snow build up under neat. However approx. 50 from returning home andupon entering a service area off the nys thruway, a definite grinding / crrunching noise was heard coming from somewheres under the front end.we continued to our destination in the buffalo, ny area.at this time besides the noises the steering wheel was jerking when traveling at a slow rate.subsequently the vehicle was left a west herr dodge, orchard park, ny where it had been purchased.the dealer ship was closed when left and contact was made with them the following day for them to check it and make repairs.on monday,2-26-07 we were contacted and advised the vehicle had been repaired and the the problem had been the front left wheel bearing which they replace.upon picking the truck up i was told that there had not been any previous problems as such with these trucks. About 5 days later i happened to hear on our local tv thatthe 2006 model dodge ram pick up's had been recalled due to faulty front wheel bearings whcih was due toinsufficient quanitity of grease. I am worried that my trucks bearings have the same problem as the 2006 and that the other side wheel bearing might go and could cause an accident.
Both front wheel bearings failed prematurely. (33,000 miles on odometer) the result of this failure, compromise steering, do tovibration.

While driving the spare tire which is suspended under the vehicle fell to the ground. The metal bracket that passes through the center of the spare tire to suspend it rusted where it connects to the suspension cable causing the tire to fall to the ground. Fortunately i was driving slowly through a shopping plaza and there was no vehicles behind me. If i had been driving at highway speeds it could have caused an accident for anyone behind me. Very unsafe design.i mention what occurred to my neighbor who has a similar dodge ram and he informed me that the same thing had occurred to his vehicle. He too was fortunate that the spare tire fell in the driveway of his home. In looking on the internet, numerous forums report the same safety issue. Please investigate and discuss the safety issue with dodge before anyone gets hurt. Thanks.

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.
Engine stalls while driving.dealer installed updated pcm calibration.stalling continues to occur during the same conditions, especially while turning, but less frequently.
The dash modual that controls the interior lights, dash lights, and interior signals no longer works.the guages work and the signals work but there are no lights. This poses a safety issue because you cannot see your speed, oil, temp, and battery guages. Im not sure when iy went bad, i got into my truck one night and none of my interior lights worked.
Truck shuts off while driving -i had to stand on the brakes and steeringwas almost impossible. This happened while attempting to merge onto earlymorning traffic in i95 in ft lauderdale where everybody is going 70-75 mph.if that truck had hit me, i and several others around me would have died.wewere just plain lucky.i had it towed to the dealer and they found nothing wrong.this happened about a dozen times and i kept fixing things which were not brokenbefore i did a little research and found out this truck is famous for this problem.2 dealers will not even return my calls when i start to discuss this problem. Theyeither know about this problem and do not want to get involved or realize thiscannot be fixed.i have to drive this vehicle across florida to bring it back to where i purchased it.my brother is flying down from boston to follow me in case i have trouble.if delaer gives me a negative response i am planning onsuing chrysler and the dealer as i really believe they knew about this problemwhen they sold me the truckthere are hundreds of others with the same exact issue with the same exact truck. Why has nhtsa not done something?
Just like everyone else who owns a dodge,i went to fuel up the truck and it went all over the ground rather than in the tank...took it to the dealer...check valve bad...need new tank....never buy dodge again..
Water is leaking into the cab from the grab bar located on the "a" pillar on the driver's side.i have researched this issue and there is a technical service bulletin (tsb #23-003-04) for this problem, which was issued for many model years of this type vehicle.
When i ordered my 2004 dodge ram the side airbags were optional and i ordered them.since the airbags occupied the side area above the door windows the "grab handles were relocated to the a-pillar for the driver and front seat passenger.yesterday i went to enter the truck, parked in a parking lot, and grabbed the handle it pulled off the a-pillar.everyone i have transported in the truck uses these "grab handles" to enter and exit.this is a very important safety item.i provide transportation for a friend who can no longer drive and has had his leg amputated below the knee.it is almost impossible for him to enter the truck without the use of the grab handle.the 2 bolts that hold the "grab handle" to the a-pillar did not pull out, the end of the plastic socket the bolt mounts in pulled from around the bolt and freed the "grab handle" and almost dumped me on the ground.since the a-pillar trim/grab handle is identified as a "grab handle" in the factory shop manual i feel that this should be brought to your attention as a safety problem.
Dash is cracking!! .i took to the dealer. Dealer said plastic is not covered in the warranty.
After random amounts of normal driving speedometer starts bouncing at idle from 0-5 mphthen abs and brake warning lights illuminate after ariving at dealeri was told it was caused by a leaking abs connector that was "improperly desigened" and all they could do was clean it out and fill it with electromagneticgrease . I was also told (by more than one dealer)that i was not the only onewith this problem and daimler chrysler has been no help other than letting melodge a complaint and sending me a letter of apology both times happened under9,000 miles and thankfully have not happend again (i'm at about 15,000 miles)
Odometer discrepancypurchased a vehicle from a sidelot in february 2016 went to trade vehicle in july 2016and found out at the gm dealer that the odometer was replaced in 2014. Mileage was 134,000 in 2014 and then it dropped down to 116,000 after that
Cracked dash board
Interior hand grabs front seat both sides inside to assist in entering or exiting vehicle . Broken off, i h ave had many passengers almost fall and 3 that did fall . People that fell but i was there to help them from falling to ground yet received scrapes and bruises were my wife , my mom and elderly woman
I had the truck off, in park and e-brake engaged. A friend of mine was watching my child while i was pulled away and she had let him play with steering wheel (he loves playing with steering wheels). All of a sudden i hear the sitter screaming and turn around and saw my truck rolling down the inclined driveway with my toddler still in drivers seat and door open. I did what any sane mother would and tried to run to jump in and hit brake but ended up being dragged by the truck after it hit a pothole before crossing into a major road. When the truck finally came to a rest after crashing into a large fence with trees behind it, i managed to get my child out of truck and noticed the e-brake was still engaged. The truck has not been taken to a shop yet but will be soon. This is the only incidence of this malfunction with my truck that i know of and ive had it since 2009. However, i have previously had brake system issues where my brake lines popped off while i was driving down the highway. This really needs to be checked out. I now have a cervical spine injury, sprained wrist, sprained ankle, severe road burn where i was dragged, and multiple bruises, knots and scrapes. We were just lucky it happened after 5 o clock traffic had cleared out. There is a police report filed and my doctors have told me i need to look into getting an attorney.
The dash has begun to crack and has been popping lately i afraid that is going to fall a part complete my and damage my electrical or clogged my ac duck work.
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.
While driving home from work, my dodge ram truck rear axle locked up and threw the driveshaft out onto the road.luckily no one was behind me.when i looked under the truck, there was transmission fluid everywhere. That's when i noticed the transfer case was cracked in half.i was left out in the middle of catfish lake road.had to call family to come get me and called the tow truck company to have the truck towed back to the house.this incident happened on june 20, 2016 at approximately 08:00pm. I was on my way home from work.my truck could have flipped if i had not been able to keep it under control because the rear axle completely locked up. This could have resulted in a fatality.
Just caught fire burned up common problem lots of fires
Driver's door lock stuck on locked. Can be manually opened from the inside but will not unlock with keyless or keyed entry.
Dash is cracking and starting to fall apart
Dash board is cracking just like all the other dodge trucks of this same time frame. It has many sharp edges that have the potential to do harm to somebody. I don't understand, there are countless complaints of this on every forum and complaint site. There was also a news broadcast about, and has anybody tried to resolve this problem? the only response you get is "get a dash cover" .no, i don't want something to cover-up the crack i want it fixed. Sure, i can buy a new one, but it will just do it again in a couple of years. They need to produce a better dash, made of better material, and show some kind ownership of the product they produce.
The dashboard in these vehicles begins to crack over time due to defective plastic material.this is very unsafe due to the fact it can crack while you are driving and pieces of the plastic can shoot into the cab and injure any passengers.doge needs to take action on this even though some models are olderversions
My family and i was driving down the road. (we had just had the truck serviced about 4 days prior at our local dealership.) all the sudden the truck makes this sound. I slowed down, rolled my window down trying to figure out if it was my vehicle or not. Very faint at first and increased with a loud boom. I get out to find my drive shaft on the ground. And the pinion nut nowhere to be seen. Gone. Luckily we were on a country road and my family is safe.
Vehicle is stalling and the engine dies while slowing, turning, and stopping. It now occurrs several times a week. It has been very dangerous on occasion such as turning across traffic and approaching red lights and stop signs.
I recieved the safety recall notice sometime in the month of june...having waited what seemed to be more than a reasonable amount of time for the unavailable parts to come in...i decided to just stop by the dealership on hwy 41 in henderson. July 7th 2014. Sometime between 1pm and 2pm. The gentleman expressed to me everything was on back order, that it was not likely to occur and he hasnt seen a truck needing this recal. He seemed unconcerned about my issue. He didnt ask my name. My number or acknowledge my letter. He said he was sure my number was in his data base and he would call when parts came in. This is our family vehicle that we drive on the regular!! having not purchased the vehicle 2 years ago if that from my brother in law...i doubt i am in his system!
The pinion nut has loosened up and that caused the driveshaft to become unstable and it has caused problems that have to be changed such as (crush slave, inner and outer bearings,spacers, and pinion nut) all have to be replaced.this same issue happened to the 2005 dodge ram and they recalled those trucks just not the year of mine. I was driving my truck when this happened and it could have been extremely dangerous for my family and i and others on the road way if the driveshaft became unattached or the rear-endlocked up on me.
The door lock on the driver's side remains in the locked position. It cannot be opened from the outside using the key fob or the key, it also cannot be opened from the inside by pulling up on the lock plunger. It can only be opened from the inside using the handle.
Popping and grinding in rear end popping in the cv axle front tires leaning in and wearing on inside with new tires and front end alignment have added new calipers rotors brakes 2 new cv axles and the problem still not fixed
Rear axle locked up breaking off drive shaft.5 min early it would have been a disaster.
Last spring, april 2015, i noticed that my defroster was not operating properly. The air blows out of the a.c. Vents, but not the top dashboard vents. I went online to see: 1. How widespread the problem was (very common in older vehicles; i bought my truck new in 2004 from a dealer that is now out of business)2. What the reaction from dodge was ( $1.500.00 to repair, even though they must do an airbag recall repair in the same area)3. How expensive it would be to have a professional repair job done ( est. $1,200.00 - $1,500.00)4. How expensive/difficult it would be to attempt to repair myself (uniformly inexpensive parts are available in metal for around $50.00, not the cheap dodge plastic) ( do - it - yourself instructions are complex, counter-intuitive, time consuming...8 hours or more, and require special tools as well as physical dexterity)i am stuck having to find $1,500.00 for a repair, or drive in the fog this winter with no defrost. All because of a $1.500.00 repair bill for a $50.00 part.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving out of the driveway, an abnormal squeaking noise occurred coming from the steering wheel. The contact also stated that when making turns, an abnormal scraping noise occurred coming from the steering wheel. There were no warning lights illuminated. In addition, the contact also stated that while the driver was at a stop light and to go the vehicle jerked, then failed to accelerate. The contact coasted to the side of the road powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and was able to drive normally. No warning lights illuminated. The contact called hayes chrysler dodge jeep ram of gainesville ((770) 535-2835, 3115 frontage rd, gainesville, ga 30504) whereit was determined that the vin was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 301,932.
Turn signal, winshield wipers, and speed control has a mind of their own. Half the time not working the rest of the time the when signaling to turn right the right dont work then when signaling left the right side blinks instead of the left. The winshield wipers just randomly swipe sometimes when not even cranked and keys not even in the ignition.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the failure occurred numerous times. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle would not accelerate for a brief moment and then accelerated rapidly without warning. The vehicle was taken to be repaired, but the mechanic could not find a failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 101,000.
2004, dodge ram 1500, 5.7l.truck will sometimes stall while slowing for a stop or turn.had the tsb 18-013-05a done by the dealer and the problem still exists.this is a dangerous problem especially into turns because the vehicle loses its power steering.
Was driving at about 25 mph had just made a left turn, and out of no where my truck went side ways heard a screeching tire sound then a bang, then the whole truck started to shake very violently. I braked immediately and the banging continued, i was in the middle of the roadway and tried to give it gas to get to the edge of the street but the banging go worst, turn off and exited the truck, noticed a big piece of metal in the middle of the road along with a lot of oil , ran up to it to only notice it was half of my drive shaft, it had snapped in two still attached to a piece of the rear end, along with fragment pieces all over the floor of the differential housing, seemed like something blew up in the differential. I looked under the truck and noticed the banging noise and violent movement was coming from the other half of the drive shaft that was still attacked to the transmission that was still spinning when i had it in gear. The car behind me had to avoid the drive shaft that snapped off since he said it flew out the rear of my truck as i was driving. Had to get towed home and have the differential oil cleaned of the road way. I went home and notice there was a recall for this very same thing at it covered trucks manufactured january 28 of 2004 through august 3, 2005, my truck was manufactured april 2004 so it should be covered but the dealer and manufacture are giving the run around. Please help!
While driving in my neighborhood at 25 mph vehicle lost power and didn't want to take the gas then cut off. Would not restart , engine would rotate but not start. Pumped the accelerator then engine restarted and ran rough with no power . Had vehicle towed to dealership to be check. I was told that the engine was blown . When i check the dash the throttle elec. Light was on.
Driving approx 35-40 mph speedometer will not show correct speed, and jump up and down.abs and brake light will not shut off, it has stalled on a few occasions, and has accelerated on its own while backing up. Resulting in hitting a lamp post, and causing rear bumper to de dented and as well as some buckling in rear panel.
While pulling out of a parking lot to proceed on a main road the vehicle died when i attempted to pull out and cross multiple lanes of on coming traffic. I pushed the accelerator and the truck briefly accelerated and then just died. I was able to put it in neutral and restart the engine. I purchased this vehicle with approximately 6500 miles on it and now i have 204000. This is the 4th occasion it has stalled while at low speed for no reason. The latest occasion just occurred on08/11/15 while i was going threw a round about. I entered the round about turning slightly to the right ,half way around coming out of the turn as it was straightening the truck just shut down. In all the occurrences i have been traveling at lower speeds 30 mph or less. 2 almost causing a crash with another vehicle. On the last occurrence i was able to restart the truck while coasting in neutral ,even though the side of the dash that the gear range is burnt out so you cant actually see what gear you are in. All the times it has stalled it has been during summer months hot outside and no precipitation. At times the truck will hit a low rpm while at an idle but will recover. The vehicle has gone years in between stalls first 2 when the truck had less than a 80k, and the last 2 stall outs about a year apart.no codes stored in the computer. Totally random events.
2004 dodge ram 1500 pickup, engine rpm's surge consistently with no consequence other than the truck shutting down.starts back most of the timewith no problem but there has been instances where the truck does not want to restart.while driving the rpm's run fine but when you decelerate for turning or parking or intersections the truck is slow to gear down and the rpm's surge again shutting the truck down. This is a constant problem with the truck.
My family and i was driving down the road. (we had just had the truck serviced about 4 days prior at our local dealership.) all the sudden the truck makes this sound. I slowed down, rolled my window down trying to figure out if it was my vehicle or not. Very faint at first and increased with a loud boom. I get out to find my drive shaft on the ground. And the pinion nut nowhere to be seen. Gone. Luckily we were on a country road and my family is safe.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact was driving 55 mph when the vehicle began to jerk abnormally. The electronic throttle control light illuminated and the vehicle would not shift into any higher gears. The vehicle was maneuvered to the shoulder and shut off. Upon restart, the failure continued. The vehicle was taken to an authorize dealer and they were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 30,000.
In the fall of last year the check engine light came on in my 2004 dodge ram 1500.the code that came up was misfire in cylinder 8.i took it to a mechanic and they said it was the fuel injector which they replaced.a few days later after getting my truck back the light came on again.this time the code was misfire in cylinder 6.i took it to a very trusted mechanic who stated it was a rocker arm that had come off due to junk in the engine.once it was fixed again the light came on saying misfire in cylinder 8.the mechanic said it was the rocker arm on that cylinder and replaced it.this happened 4 more times in the next month.the mechanic, who is very reputable, believes this is a manufacturing defect that will continue to occur no matter how often it is repaired.he also stated he has seen this in many many dodge trucks and most notably in the 474 engine.it is an engine and safety issue due to loss of throttle which occurs very often when the problem is on going and is definite risk of causing an auto accident.this code is coming up every other day now and i believe it needs to be recalled.
2004 dodge 1500 ram hemi 5.7 quad cab with faulty cruise control.turning on cruise control and off functions normally.selecting "set" on the left hand side of the steering wheel fails to engage cruise control desired speed with cruise control on.this happens 10-15 times out of 75-90 times selected during a period of a month.also, periodically during the 10-15 times a month, cruise control will be engaged with a current speed "set," and while driving the truck slows down and prevents re-engagement of "set" on the left hand controller of the steering wheel while cruise control is still on.changed battery with no effect.throttle body is functioning normally.no blown fuses.seems that temperature extremes of 45 degrees or below and 90 degrees and higher heightens the effects of this deficiency.when turning ignition from off through intermediate to on position (not start) with trip button held in greater than 15 secs, c-code displays 6715 then displays 0000.truck has 66945 miles currently.
2004 ram 1500 5.7 hemi stalls at low engine speeds, often at stop signs, traffic lights, or parking lot maneuvers. Will usually start immediately back up, sometimes requires slight accelerator pressure when cranking in order to obtain self-sustaining engine speed. During decelerations, engine rpm is erratic and will often encounter a transient drop in rpm's to approximately 400 rpm before engine dies. Issue seems to be more common and severe in cold weather, or when engine is cold, but has occurred under all conditions. This has been a persistent problem for about two years, happening anywhere from once a day to a dozen times. Multiple dealerships and mechanics have looked at this, without result. The computer has been updated, the sensors, egr valve, and intake manifold cleaned, and the throttle body has been replaced. Still not fixed. Vehicle has been well maintained and has less than 55k miles. This is an expensive, dangerous, and frustrating condition.
Vehicle was traveling at a slow speed and the engine quit without warning. The engine stalling usually occurred s in low speed situations, like in town driving. When the engine stalledpower steeringfailedwithout warning. Since that date the enginehas quit a number of times, more than 10 times.it will restart after key wasswitched to off. I took the truck to a dealer on 2-28-07, and i was told the problemwas with the throttle body. Therewere enough throttle bodies failing for these trucks that the supplier was out of units until almost a month later. Also, i was a told that this partwasn't under warranty. The truck ranerratically at low throttle settings.
While coming to a stop, the truck lost all power and stalled. I immediately restarted the truck and proceeded to the next intersection, and it lost power and stalled again while braking to a full stop.i was able to make it two miles closer to my home, came to a stop and the engine revved up slightly, and then idled low to the point where i thought it was going to stall again.i got it home and had it towed to my mechanic. The truck was checked out, the truck did not stall after repeated testing for the next week. I picked it up, got a quarter mile down the road and it lost power and stalled again. I immediately returned it to the mechanic and, again, the truck did not duplicate the stalling, but the mechanic did see it rev up when coming to a stop. The mechanic replaced the idle positioning sensor and i picked up my truck only for it to stall on my way home.my mechanic has had my truck more than i have over the last two months and the problem remains undiagnosed.after basic research on dodge forums, this is a problem that many other people are dealing with and nothing has been done to address this issue.this is a major safety issue considering that the truck loses power and stalls without warning in the middle of turns and coming to a stop.please help resolve this issue before it costs someone their life.i am not the only person having this problem.
Vehicle stalls when slowing down for a stop sign, traffic or red light or when turning.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled, the cruise control failed, and the speedometer failed to function properly. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 77,000.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.while driving at any speed, the contact stated that the accelerator pedal would continuously become stuck in the open throttle position causing the vehicle to abnormally accelerate more than 85 mph.the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure.the contact did not inform the manufacturer nor was the vehicle repaired.the current and failure mileage was 115,000.the vin was unavailable. Updated 05/04/11 updated 1/11/11
The gas pedal pushed down and stuck to the floor, causing the vehicle to have sudden acceleration. Dealer was notified by consumer, but the causewas undetermined.
My 2004 dodge ram would intermittently drop the cruise control when i hit the drivers side down button.i took it to the dealer several times and was told it wasn't throwing a code and they didn't know what was causing the issue. Several months ago, after parking my vehicle in the garage, i woke up to discover the drivers door had caught fire.it sure looked to me that it started on the circuit board inside the door.the vehicle was totaled.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle's cruise control would not maintain speeds and would fluctuate up or down by 6 mph.the service dealer stated this was a normal issue with these vehicles and they could not fix the issue.
Dt:the consumer complained that the headlight dim switch was not functioningon the 2004 dodge 1500 since april 2005.the headlight would stay on bright or dim but not switch.at the same time the windshield washer would not work.the dealer replaced the multifunction switch, but the problem persisted.the vehicle had been back to two different dealers four times, and had the same switch replaced twice, but the problem recurred, but was not constant.the contact wrote to chrysler, but had no satisfaction. Also, on one occasion the vehiclewould not accelerate when attempting to pass another vehicle.at that time, the cruise control would not work, and the headlights would not come on. This problem had not recurred, but the dealer had no explanation or solution.(11/17/05)*sc
Cruise control will shut off if i use 2 or more of the power windows at the same time. Cc will also shut completely off when you hit the brakes, not just disengage.took to local dealer and they said there isn't a fix for the problem but they also stated dodge is aware of the problem. This happened once with the window switch problem while i was passing a slow vehicle with my cruise on. I rolled up 2 windows and the cruise shut off during the pass.
The cruise control shuts off intermittently when the power windows are activated. The vehicle was brought to dodge of burnsville, where the problem was not duplicated by the mechanic. I can now induce this problem consistantly by activating the power windows.
When the driver moved across two lanes to initiate a left turn the truck lost all power.the consumer pushed down on the accelerator but noting happened until the driver pushed the pedal all the way to the floor.when the pedal was pushed all the way to the floor the truck lurched forward quickly at a very high rpm.the problem has never occurred again, even after the dealer examined the vehicle.the cruise control would not disengage until the vehicle's speed exceeded8 mph over the set speed.
In feb 08 took 2004 dodge ram to dealer for no heat through floor vents, heat through other vents, dealer replaced housing with deflection door. On dec 23, 08, same problem developed took to dealer to look at on dec 29.
The front windshield defroster was not blowing strong enough to demist the windshield. I tried the hvac knob on other settings, and the air flow was very weak on all the settings. Upon removal of the blower motor from the air box, i discovered that the re-circulation door had dropped down and was blocking the air flow to the blower motor. I was able to remove the re-circulation door from the air box, and upon inspection discovered it had broken at the connection point to the re-circulation actuator. The piece that had broken away from the door was still up inside the air box. Had this piece of plastic fallen into the blower motor, it may have damaged the fan or caused an injury. The hvac functions work full strength now, but there is no way to block the outside air from coming inside on very hot days or when it is smoky or there is an odor outside. Some people may not be mechanically able to fix this problem on their own, and i've read that the repair by the dealership is expensive. Some people have had the door break multiple times. Chrysler corporation should recall these vehicles and install a better designed and stronger re-circulation door.
About 30 percent of the time, my turn signals and flashers do not indicate the signal i want to give. During those times, when i indicate right it doesn't flash at all. If i indicate left, it indicates right. Also if i put on the hazards, it either corrects the problem or it indicates left. This is very frustrating andprovides a big safety incident on the road. I have noticed that i am not the only person that has had this before as it is a very common occurrence on the web. It increases substantially during the fall and winter months and is almost not existent during the summer months. It also affects my wipers that when i have the lights on i can see that my vehicle is acting up because the wipers are at 1 detent less than what i am trying to provide. This makes it so i can't use the fast wiping position.thanks for your help.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 pickup, i have no defrost due to a defective door control in the heater box, i had it fixed twice under warranty and now it is out of warranty and the same thing happens again and they will not fix it. Almost in two accidents because of moisture on the inside of wind shield, please help, noone is making dodge accountable!
Wipers icing bad in freezing temperatures due to inadequate defroster performance, upper half of w/s stays icy going down road.lots of heat from heat/defrost to the point you are cooking out of cab, but windshield still stays icy as well as wiper blades.bottom of window never does thaw if it is below 18 degrees.happens all the time when ambient temp below 34 degrees.have tried deflectors on vents to direct more air at base of windshield, no help.gets to the point when driving you have to stop and let window thaw, regardless of fan speed or heat level.gets too hot to sit in vehicle with out side windows rolled down some.will do this at highway speeds or idling along in 1st gear going slow in snow.has happened since i purchased vehicle in 2006.
The turn signals, wipers, and high beams on my 04 dodge ram 1500 have been giving me issues for the last year. This started out as an intermittent problem and has gotten worse over time. At first it was just the turn signals. When i would signal left the right blinker would come on, or visa versa. Then sometimes it would work fine, and other times it would not come on at all. It's gotten worse over time and now i am at the point where only when i signal left will the right signal come on; nothing else works. My hazard switch at one time would work the left signal, and the left clicker would work the right signal but now that does not work either. At this point my hazard switch and left clicker now only work the right blinker and i have no way to work the left.as for the high beams, sometimes i am un-able to disengage them which is very dangerous for on-coming traffic. At this point i do not risk it and just don't use them, which can be dangerous to myself at some times.the wipers have a mind of their own. Sometimes when i have them on full speed/fast in heavy rain they will all of a sudden reduce to the lowest or middle setting. Sometimes they will just not turn on at all. I almost got into a major accident because of this and now just avoid driving in the rain if at all possible.
Last spring, april 2015, i noticed that my defroster was not operating properly. The air blows out of the a.c. Vents, but not the top dashboard vents. I went online to see: 1. How widespread the problem was (very common in older vehicles; i bought my truck new in 2004 from a dealer that is now out of business)2. What the reaction from dodge was ( $1.500.00 to repair, even though they must do an airbag recall repair in the same area)3. How expensive it would be to have a professional repair job done ( est. $1,200.00 - $1,500.00)4. How expensive/difficult it would be to attempt to repair myself (uniformly inexpensive parts are available in metal for around $50.00, not the cheap dodge plastic) ( do - it - yourself instructions are complex, counter-intuitive, time consuming...8 hours or more, and require special tools as well as physical dexterity)i am stuck having to find $1,500.00 for a repair, or drive in the fog this winter with no defrost. All because of a $1.500.00 repair bill for a $50.00 part.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the front windshield was fogged. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the blend doors failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was unavailable.
Upon starting the vehicle, i turned the climate control to the defrost setting. After 5 minutes, no air was blowing to the windshield, only from the dash vents. No floor air, no defroster air, only dash vent air. Temperature adjusted from warm to cold just fine, however. I called the dealership that i purchased the vehicle from, was told to bring the truck in for a diagnosis at a fee to provide an estimate. I called a second dealership, was told by the service manager that by my description, the "recirc" door and "mode 1" door needed replacement. The "mode 2" door might also need replacement, but that my "blend" door is working. The estimated cost to repair would be around $1300.00 to get my defroster functioning again. I asked if this was a common issue, he said it was very common. I asked if there was a recall on this issue, he replied that there were no recalls for comfort features, that he was aware of. I would think that the defroster was a safety issue for visibility while driving.
The windshield wipers started acting up by going slow, then fast, then slow, then intermittant while the vehicle is in motion...now they do not work all the time when they are on and the vehicle is in motion.the wipers will just stop out of the blue and i have to manually twist them off and then back on again.i have to keep turning the wipers off and then back on for the duration of the trip, and part ofthe time the wipers will not engage at all.it was pouring down rain and i was on the freeway.it continues to do this and while there is a recall for models of this year, i was told this particular truck does not have a recall for a new wiper module.

Ac defrost heater air recirculation door breaks off it plastic axle, drops into and blocks the air intake into the blower motor.thus resulting in no airflow thru the heat vent ac defrost system.causing visibility problems since the defrost system will not get the proper airflow to work.

The cruise control shuts off intermittently when the power windows are activated. The vehicle was brought to dodge of burnsville, where the problem was not duplicated by the mechanic. I can now induce this problem consistantly by activating the power windows.
The turn signals, wipers, and high beams on my 04 dodge ram 1500 have been giving me issues for the last year. This started out as an intermittent problem and has gotten worse over time. At first it was just the turn signals. When i would signal left the right blinker would come on, or visa versa. Then sometimes it would work fine, and other times it would not come on at all. It's gotten worse over time and now i am at the point where only when i signal left will the right signal come on; nothing else works. My hazard switch at one time would work the left signal, and the left clicker would work the right signal but now that does not work either. At this point my hazard switch and left clicker now only work the right blinker and i have no way to work the left.as for the high beams, sometimes i am un-able to disengage them which is very dangerous for on-coming traffic. At this point i do not risk it and just don't use them, which can be dangerous to myself at some times.the wipers have a mind of their own. Sometimes when i have them on full speed/fast in heavy rain they will all of a sudden reduce to the lowest or middle setting. Sometimes they will just not turn on at all. I almost got into a major accident because of this and now just avoid driving in the rain if at all possible.

I was driving down interstate 65 in mobile, al doing a speed of around 65 mph.suddenly and without warning, my steering wheel locked-up and i was not able to turn the steering wheel left or right.thankfully, there were not many cars on the highway and i was able to coast across 3 lanes of the highway, finally stopping in a ditch on an off ramp.the problem that occurred was the power steering pump popped off, wrapped around my serpentine belt, and cracked my head gasket.they replaced all parts that were damaged.one month later, the windshield wiper modulator malfunctioned during a rain storm and i had no wind shield wipers.
Dt:the consumer complained that the headlight dim switch was not functioningon the 2004 dodge 1500 since april 2005.the headlight would stay on bright or dim but not switch.at the same time the windshield washer would not work.the dealer replaced the multifunction switch, but the problem persisted.the vehicle had been back to two different dealers four times, and had the same switch replaced twice, but the problem recurred, but was not constant.the contact wrote to chrysler, but had no satisfaction. Also, on one occasion the vehiclewould not accelerate when attempting to pass another vehicle.at that time, the cruise control would not work, and the headlights would not come on. This problem had not recurred, but the dealer had no explanation or solution.(11/17/05)*sc

The failure and current mileages were 38,000.updated10/28/10 the consumer stated the complaint is accurate. Updated 11/01/10
While driving in rain my wipers often stop working on high speed which make it difficult to see in a down pour. Also my blower fan for the a/c defroster heater etc. Stops blowing when tilt wheel is moved to some positions. It has proceeded to the point of not blowing at all and sometimes will start blowing when i am not in my truck with the key out of the ignition. I was told by a dealer mechanic that it is a faulty ignition switch and that he has changed several. He said it is caused from the wiring harness hanging to loose and repeated tilting of the steering wheel causes the ignition switch to break and have a bad connection. This is also probably what causes some trucks to stall while driving. These are all very dangerous situations if they occur at certain times.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500.while driving 35 mph, the front driver's side tire detached from the vehicle, which included the hub, rotor, and caliper.the contact could not control the vehicle as the tire rolled across the highway and rested on the other side of the road.there were no injuries or crash.the vehicle was towed to a chrysler dealer, but they did not provide an explanation for the failure.chrysler offered to pay half of the repair costs.the failure mileage was 68,896.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. While driving 35 mph, the rear passenger side studs detached from the wheel.

Around 6/2009 my passenger side wheel hub starting to make a cracking and popping noise at parking lot speeds, i took it to have replaced.it was replaced with a new part.now only a year later my driver side wheel hub is making the same cracking and popping noise.i believe the bearings are sub standard and need to be checked into.
I have received many notices about the air bag failure on my 04 ram truck. I have taken it to my dealer over a year ago and they cannot acquire the parts to replace it, this is ongoing and dumb. Every time i drive it i am at risk and if something ever happened to me my family would sue dodge corp. But i wish to live with peace of mind. Also codes r25 p81 p40 at which the whell hubs are failing every 3-4 years and i keep purchasing with replacement parts from local auto parts stores.
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.
Checking on possible airbag recalls.also when i purchased this truck in year 2004 (brand new), i was offered the the option of 20" rims.i toke the option yet, the id sticker located on the drivers door was never replaced.everytime i have my tires serviced, the tires are imporperly filled with air, even though i repeatedly infor the repair maintenance shops that 34 psi is not the correct pressure.they repair shops state,we follow the guidance on the door sticker.
While driving the spare tire which is suspended under the vehicle fell to the ground. The metal bracket that passes through the center of the spare tire to suspend it rusted where it connects to the suspension cable causing the tire to fall to the ground. Fortunately i was driving slowly through a shopping plaza and there was no vehicles behind me. If i had been driving at highway speeds it could have caused an accident for anyone behind me. Very unsafe design.i mention what occurred to my neighbor who has a similar dodge ram and he informed me that the same thing had occurred to his vehicle. He too was fortunate that the spare tire fell in the driveway of his home. In looking on the internet, numerous forums report the same safety issue. Please investigate and discuss the safety issue with dodge before anyone gets hurt. Thanks.
Both fronthub/wheel-bearing assemblies have failed on my truck. My truck has 50k miles! the front wheel-bearing on both sides makes noises, sometimes sounds like it is catching or getting stuck. This has caused me to wreck in a ditch and is very dangerous. The noise starts out only once in a while, then seems to be constantly grinding.
Driving vehicle on a straightaway at 30mph and front driver's side wheel broke off and flew across the street. Vehicle did not roll and driver able to push into parking lot awaiting tow. Wheel hub cracked per mechanic report. Ram customer service declined investigation due to "not original owner, no current service contract, and not a commercial vehicle" but confirmed that this vin not included in recall of other ram 1500 for same issue different years.
While travleing at 20 mph right rear wheel came off, causing the vehicle tostrike the curb, and go onto the sidewalk. Vehicle was towed.*tc
Was driving at about 25 mph had just made a left turn, and out of no where my truck went side ways heard a screeching tire sound then a bang, then the whole truck started to shake very violently. I braked immediately and the banging continued, i was in the middle of the roadway and tried to give it gas to get to the edge of the street but the banging go worst, turn off and exited the truck, noticed a big piece of metal in the middle of the road along with a lot of oil , ran up to it to only notice it was half of my drive shaft, it had snapped in two still attached to a piece of the rear end, along with fragment pieces all over the floor of the differential housing, seemed like something blew up in the differential. I looked under the truck and noticed the banging noise and violent movement was coming from the other half of the drive shaft that was still attacked to the transmission that was still spinning when i had it in gear. The car behind me had to avoid the drive shaft that snapped off since he said it flew out the rear of my truck as i was driving. Had to get towed home and have the differential oil cleaned of the road way. I went home and notice there was a recall for this very same thing at it covered trucks manufactured january 28 of 2004 through august 3, 2005, my truck was manufactured april 2004 so it should be covered but the dealer and manufacture are giving the run around. Please help!
The contact owns a 2004 dodge 1500.while driving less than 70 mph and attempting to make a right turn, the contact heard a loud popping noise.she lost control of the steering wheel and the vehicle drifted to a stop.the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and she repaired the wheel hub inside the rotor.the vin was unknown.the failure and current mileages were 116,000.
Driving home on 5/27/2016, hear hammering and assume local construction. Drive a little further and hear hammering again. 3rd time, i realize it's coming from my truck and in time with tire rotation. Pull over, but tires and wheels look fine. Drive further, hammering continues. Pull over again, but nothingbeing dragged underneath. As i slowly drive 2 blocks to closest garage, some guy says he can see my front wheel moving.pull up in front of garage bay. Mechanic says front wheel rusted to point of near collapse. Try to move truck into bay but turning the wheels stresses it too much, so it's jacked it up in place.only immediate remedy is spare tire, but spare tire winch rusted frozen and they had to cut cable and box.mechanic said front wheel may not have endured if gone further, showed other 3 wheels were similarly rusting, and apparently because of the cover they put on the chrome clad steel wheels.good thing i was moving slowly and on residential roads; if wheel had come off on faster roads it could easily have ended up in windshield of vehicle driving the other way.chrome cladding separated completely. Wheel had chunks of rust 2-3"x1/2" + flakes falling off, complete separation in large areas.major safety issue - apparently result of a design flaw made worse because the chrome cladding hides the rusting from view ' that was known or should have been known to manufacturer (junk yards are aware of it,) and that could have resulted in loss of life.thankfully, i believe it was broken sway bar link pin (rust) that caused hammering and alerted me to check wheels.had to purchase 4 new wheels, and have link pin replaced. Fc/ram unwilling to address, based on year of truck and mileage, but no one should ever have to worry that their wheels may rust off where you cannot see it. Saved 1 wheel and cladding for verification; others discarded.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 regular cab pickup w/ 20" wheels & oem goodyear wrangler hp tiers 5.7 hemi. Vehicle is 100% stock and unmodified and maintained meticulously. At random intervals on the highway between 60 & 65 mph. The vehicle will abruptly develop a massive shaking sensation. Violent enough to make it feel like it may loose control or have a flat tire. Then if you slow down the truck ride smoothes as glass and will be fine till it starts to build again, or a bump sets it off.this problem is well known throwout the internet and commonly called "death wobble". This condition seems to affect primarily ram 1500-2500 from 2003-2008.
Front left wheel bearing hub failed at 54,000 miles.this is very low mileage for a wheel bearing to fail.wheel bearing hub had to be replaced.
Felt the rear end come up off the ground and a loud bang. Spare tire had come loose from under vehicle. Lucky no one was behind me or could have been bad. Rim is bent and unusable now. It is held up by a small gauge wire and will eventually fray and break loose.

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...
Truck started squeaking then making a popping noise while turning in the driveway. The steering wheel makes a noise while turning. Didn't know there was any recalls on this truck. I took it to the shop and the man said the wheel was about to come off.
I have owned this vehicle for just a little over 2 years and has been in the shop 3 times for the hub assemblies. I looked up the truck to see if there were any recalls and found that there is a recall on the hub assembly for the 2wd but not the 4wd which is what i have. I think that it should be recalled and just hasn't been brought to anyone's attention.
While driving 35 mph down a hill the right front tire/rim detached from the truck.vehicle veered into oncoming traffic.driver was not able to maintain control, and went over a concrete embankment,damaging other portions of the right side, tire,and rim.the local dealershiphad the vehicle for three weeks.no further contact by the dealership at this time.
