I'm having problems with the airbag system in my 2005 dodge ram 1500. My airbag light started going off any time i turned my steering wheel to the left. Now, the light comes/stays on at any given moment. I had a mechanic run the test and was told that it's the driver's squibb circuit board. I started researching the issue and noticed the 2005 dodge ram 2500 & 3500 had a factory recall for the same issue, yet this same safety issue for the 1500 is not covered.

We received a recall notice which is not dated and called but the dealership said they don't have the part and will contact us when they do. This recall can cause injury and/or death and i am expected to drive and it, it is not a big deal to chrysler dodge. They continue to make money and new vehicles but allow their loyal customers to drive unsafe vehicles. There was not an estimated follow up given to us on this problem. Before a recall is even done there are injuries or death which start this process and we feel completely unsafe driving this vehicle especially with children. Is this legal or even moral? if something happens to my family i feel chrysler and or your department should be 100% liable. I expect a response immediately due to the seriousness of this matter. I will also follow up.thank you,see contact information below.

"takata recall" i went to tom o'brian chrysler dealership back in july 2015, about this recall, and i have followed up 3 times to find out when i can bring my truck in to do both recalls on this. They ordered the parts for both recalls and they told me that their oly can do 2 trucks a month because the way their recall works they bring a truck in , do the recall work and then they send the part back and wait for the next replacement part to come in. If this is the real case, it will be several years before i can get my truck worked on. So if this is a safety recall they should be doing a lot more trucks they 2 a month. I want to keep my truck but i am very concerned about a accident . I think if i have to wait longer, chrysler should provided me with a vehicle til my truck gets fixed.

Takata recall -- my vehicle is affected by the recall described in the nhtsa 16v-352. I took it to tom edwards chrysler-dodge-jeep dealership in bartow fl to have this defect remedied, but i was told that parts are not available for this recall repair, and they could not or would not inform me when the parts will be available. Living in hot and humid florida i am concerned that this 11 year old vehicle may pose a danger to the occupants of my vehicle should the vehicle be involved in a crash where the airbags deploy and send metal shrapnel into the passenger compartment. I would like to know when i can expect fca to make the necessary parts available. I am afraid to drive the vehicle until it is repaired.

I got a recall over a year ago about the airbag inflator and (2)other items to be repaired,which i promptly took in and had repaired,only to find out a year later that the airbag inflator was never repaired. Nothing was said to me that the part was not available.just received another notice and must wait for parts again,what is going on? doesn't dodge give a [xxx] about our safety? is it time to get a lawyer and sue dodge and nhtsa, for not doing their job. Why have an organization thatdoesn't do their job? what are you going to do about this?information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This truck was purchased from autobarn in linden, pa. It was involved in a head on collision while entering a highway on a on ramp and none of the air bags deployed. After investigating it was found that the truck had 2 open recalls for airbags. The owner of autobarn was contacted and explained what had happened and further explained that a bill was passed in 2018 forbidding the sale of any vehicle with open recalls unless the purchaser agreed in writing that the vehicle would be accepted in that condition. No such form was signed. He further stated that he had no idea he was responsible. He was advised that this truck should have never been sold and through his negligence he endangered both occupants in the vehicle in the accident. Autobarn sells many vehicles and i wonder how many others have been sold in violation of this law.

My sister was in a fatal car accident june 23rd 2015. About a week and a half after her death we received a recall for the trucks rear axle pinion nut. Then a week after that we received another recall in the mail regarding the driver airbag inflator. During the incident her trucks right rear tire was snapped at the axle leaving us to believe that the pinion nut was loose and caused this rear axle to seize and break. In the crash all of the airbags failed to deploy. The pinion nut recall was issued in february of 2015 and we are questioning why it took chrysler 5 months to provide us with this information.
Two recalls(p77 rear axle pinion nut; p254driver airbag inflator)--same response from the dealership(byford, duncan, ok) parts not available; visited the dealership twice and called twice(started around 6/16/2015); last recommendation from dealership was to make an appointment for them to see the vehicle and then try to order the parts; contacted the chrysler group recall assistance center(on hold for 35 minutes) on 8/4/2015-they took my information to forward to the dealershipno one seems to interested in satisfying these recalls except me

I received a formal recall notice (p77/nhtsa 14v-796) which stated a safety concern with my truck's rear pinion nut that may come loose or fall off. When i called our local dodge dealer in westerly, rhode island they told me they wouldn't have the corrective parts for about 2-3 months? this being a safety concern andmy second notice from chrysler why are parts not available? it seems i have two recalls in an open status and can't get either one repaired by chrysler at this time.a concerned chrysler owner.
See attached . Why has this not been fixed yet. I was in an accident yesterday and im lucky the passenger side air bag didn't go off. They both should have went off but didn't.

As i was preparing to park, my truck accelerated on it's own jumping over a concrete stopper and into a large metal pole in front of a business.the entire front of my truck caved in, the hood, the grill and the bumper crumpled and the air bag (which should have) did not deploy.the dealership is refusing to fix it and filed a criminal no trespass against me so i can't go on the lot or try to talk to the salesman.the police officers who responded checked me over, said it was an 'at fault' accident but only because i was behind the wheel and gave me a 'crash bureau form' to fill out, which i did.my online research showed recalls on both the accelerator and the air bags.please help me.my insurance is not going to pay for the repairs due to the fact it was due to defective auto parts and the dealership should take care of it, which they won't.i am a fifty year old disabled female and my truck is my lifeline.i do not have the $7,000.00 the dealership wants me to pay to fix the truck i just bought (still doesn't have plates on it yet) and paid $10,000.00 for.i bought it from benny boyd in marble falls, texas.

During a front end collision, followed by a vehicle rollover, both the driver side and passenger side airbags failed to deploy. The vehicle struck a utility pole on the driver side directly at the headlight. It appears the vehicle then flipped up and hit the roof on the pole before rolling over and coming to rest on the roof.

Takata recall & rear differential pinion nuti have received two recall notices for this vehicle. The reality is that i live on an island (kodiak, alaska) on which there is no chrysler/dodge/jeep/ram dealership. To get the vehicle to such a dealership would require a ferry ride of over 10 hours (each way) and the expenditure of over $500. I called the fca recall assistance center, explained the situation, and asked them to authorize a local non-dodge dealer or repair shop to do the work.they refused, saying i would have to pay for the repair myself and then seek reimbursement.

Takata recall it has been 6 months since i received notice my airbags may be defective and still they have not been replaced!! i feel there is no sense of urgency to replace these as i have not heard when my truck will be fixed. I have signed up at the manufacturers recall website and still nothing. To someone who has been permanently disabled after being hit 7 times in my life it is pretty scary driving my truck and not knowing if i get hit again...will my airbags work correctly??? please tell me when will this get fixed on my vehicle??
2005 dodge ram 1500 truck 4x2 quad, was in motion at posted highway speed, with minimal wind present.as an eyewitness & owner of the vehicle, the driver suddenly lost control of the vehicle, rolling the truck 4 -5 times before landing on its top (upside down). Damage throughout was severe and extensive. No airbags deployed and both occupants were wearing their safety belts. Front passenger head rest ripped away from seat and was found about 100 yards away from accident scene, stuck in a bush. Right rear tire (passenger side), snapped off and broke away from the rear axel. Tire was found more than 100 yards away from the totaled vehicle & tire was not blown out. Concerns about 2 safety recalls on this vehicle is the reason for submitting complaint: recall involving a problem/defect with the air bag deployment, and recall concerning a rear axel pion nut coming loose while in motion & causing rear wheel to completely break away from vehicle.defect could suddenly cause driver to lose complete control, causing vehicle to crash and/or violently rollover. This vehicle was serviced for both recalls, twice.however, in this rollover crash that occurred, the rear wheel with brake system still attached, completely snapped off the rear axel.also, the insurance company did an estimate to repair vehicle, but did not include or mention a repair charge for the right rear wheel or the rear axel.the tail gate was also ripped off of the truck and was found about 75 yards away from the totaled vehicle.no fatalities resulted from this horrific crash, but my son who was the passenger, did suffer serious and permanent injuries, which include a head injury (tbi), multiple fractures to his ctl-spine, injured right foot, leg and hip, and abrasions and deep scrapes throughout his body.the driver, my sons girlfriend, suffered scrapes and bruising, but no serious injury.

Receiving notifications from fiat chrysler automobiles about recalls r25 and p77. I originally brought the vehicle in to the dealership approx 3-4 months ago, ramsey, nj, chrysler jeep dodge. They stated they did not have parts. I called fca and they stated parts should be available in june. Called the same dealership on wed july 8th, they asked for recall notice info. Amazingly the vin was not enough. Amazingly they had no record of me being their previously for the recall and they said they are checking on the availability of parts. Note they have now changed the original recall id on p81/nhtsa 14v-817 to r25 / nhtsa 15v-313 on the air bag one. Since both of these are potentially life threatening i need to get this resolved.

Bcp (brandywine smyrna, de dealership refused to replace my defective airvbagi have had bad service from this dealership, actually took them to small claims court for a repair gone bad, and had decided i would not be using them for any future service. But since the takata airbag recall was a nhtsa recall and bcp was the closest to my home i contacted them for the replacement. They took my information and much later i finally received a card in the mail stating they had the replacement parts in. I called to schedule the replacement and get a service manager on the line that states that "because of past history we will notbe able to service you vehicle". What!!!! i didn't know a dealership could deny replacing a federally mandated safety recalled part simply because they didn't like me!?!?!?this place is a joke and anyone that guys or services their vehicle there better beware........

The 2005 dodge ram air bags did not deploy in a crash into a 6 foot brick column and subsequent impact with a travel trailer 4 feet beyond the fence. The point of impact was the center of the front bumper and occurred with sufficient force to push the hood through the windshield. The driver was wearing the seatbelt, but suffered a cracked sternum and concussion by impact with the steering wheel.from the police traffic crash report:a 2012 kia failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of courtside drive and town center loop e in wilsonville, or. The vehicle proceeded through the stop sign at courtside drive and onto town center loop where it came into the path of a north bound 2005 dodge ram. The two vehicles collided with each other in the middle of the northbound lane of town center loop east. The dodge ram continued north bound through the intersection, then off the right side of the road impacting a fence and brick column owned and maintained by the city of wilsonville. The dodge ram had enough momentum to continue through the fence and 6 foot brick column and impact a 30 foot travel trailer which was parked/stored on private property. Both the kia and the dodge ram had extensive damage, as did the travel trailer which was pushed sideways 2 to 4 feet. All 4 stabilizer jacks and the tongue jack were compromised and the trailer frame was visibly damaged/bent.the insurance company determined that the extensive damage to the 2005 dodge ram required it to be totaled, rather than repaired.

Contact owns a 2005 ram 1500 slt 4.7l. Contact states this has happened several times randomly. Truck will die while driving down the road or maneuvering at low speeds. Truck has had one random incident of over heating and had to pull over and shut truck off to cool down. Restarted just fine! plastic seat belt buckles have broken and seat belts don't retract fully. Then around april 2014 started hearing a whining grinding,howling noise thought it was the tires or the road. After a few months the noise was still there so called a repair shop took it in. Had it looked at. The repair shop diagnosed it to be the rear differential pinion nut backing off. Repair shop said the truck needs the differential repaired or replaced. A short time later, i received a recall notice around february on the truck for p77 & p81. Have contacted dealer via phone on several occasions. Dealer says parts are not available at this time, and don't know when the parts will be available to remedy the situation. It has been almost 3 months since i received the notice. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle occupants and/or other's safety.*(since the problem is, the rear axle pinion nut on your truck may have been built without an adhesive patch on the pinion nut threads. The lack of this adhesive patch could allow the rear axle pinion nut to loosen and/or the rear drive shaft to separate from the rear axle. A loose pinion nut could cause the rear axle to seize and a separated drive shaft could cause loss of motive power. Either situation could cause a crash with out warning! and the airbag inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially injuring the vehicle occupants).dealership says should be okay to drive.!! i don't see howdodge chrysler! can keep production/sales of these unsafe vehicles. When so many vehicles are being recalled. Thank you for your attention of this matter. Updated 06/29/15.

In march 2015 i received a letter stating that my truck had a recall involving the rear axle. As soon as i received this notice, i stopped driving my truck. In addition, while searching my vin # on your site, i found that my truck had another recall. This recall involves the air bags. My truck is my family's only means of transportation. Since i don't have another vehicle, i have been forced to borrow my parents and siblings vehicles. I even have been forced to take the bus. I feel that these recalls should have been resolved already. Is there anything that can be done to help me with this situation? i do not feel comfortable driving my family or myself around in this vehicle. It is not safe. Thank you.

Takata recallmy husband and i are expecting our first child in one month and were trying to trade in my 2005 dodge ram 1500 for an suv that would accommodate our family and because of this incomplete recall, no dealership wants to buy our current vehicle. On top of that, the manufacturer does not currently have or can provide the materials needed to fix our truck and clear the recall. We are stuck with this truck because of a faulty airbag inflator that could potentially cause harm to us and our future child. We are having to hold onto this 2005 vehicle that poses a danger to our family because of a manufacturer that will not get their stuff together and act quick enough on the repair. No one can fix the recall right now and have no information on when the parts will be available for the repair so we could be stuck with this truck for many more years to come. Something needs to be done about this so that dodge will quit dragging their feet and take this safety issue seriously.

I purchased my 2005 dodge ram used in 2010 with 74,000 miles. Shortly after i purchased it the truck would die when coming to a stop, no power steering, no power brakes. Well i took it to 3 different dealerships to try and get an explanation after i replaced the iac valve and cleaned every piece of the induction system including all sensors and the throttle body. I reset the ecu and started the truck and let it warm-up for 10 minutes before my test drive. This fixed the problem for 2 days then the rough idle started again and it died at the top of the street. I have been dealing with this issue for 3 years now and someone needs to be held accountable i have had 3 different dealerships look into the problem and i have tried to work it out through private mechanics. In my search for a resolution i have a documented expense well over $1937 and i still have to live with the stress of knowing my truck could die causing a serious accident. At this point i am considering selling the truck for lack of an affordable remedy. Upon researching my problem i have found hundreds of similar stories from people having the same issues as i am, please help us resolve this issue and hold the manufacturer responsible for a potentially fatal engineering flaw!

I lost my parking lights (tail lights) this morning before i went to work at 3;30 a.m. When i got off work i began my search for solutions how to repair this problem. My discovery was kind of disturbing. It turns out that there are a lot of other owners of the same vehicle that are going through this problem. It has something to do with the the fuse box inside, there is a faulty wire that causes this and the only solution is to replace the whole thing. Makes me kind of wonder what other problems are wrong inside the fuse box.i feel that chrysler should recall this part and replace it. Do we have to wait for an accident to happen before something is done about it?i read on the forums that this part is on back order because of this problem this in itself should be a red flag. Not sure what to do about this. I will order this part if i must but with the large amount of others having the same problem maybe dodge should pick up the bill. Thanks for reading i hope there is a solution.
Driver door lock stuck in locked position no matter what, can open only from inside, all other door locks work fine, driver side rear window will not roll down from any power control stuck permanently up.
When trying to signal a turn (either way) the signal either goes the opposite of what you want or doesn't work at all.have been stopped due to non signal on a turn, explained the issue and showed them how it didn't work, then all of sudden works, but is the opposite turn signal....got off without anything but a verbal warning to fix.also the wipers act up, turn on intermittent and the wipers go fast and then will suddenly stop in mid wipe and won't return to its normal position.they also will not go on intermittent or slow at all, but will go on the fast wiper speed.the instrument panel only lights up on certain clusters since the issues started with the wipers and turn signals.i believe this truly is a safety issue and should be addressed by daimler chrysler!!!

When applying left turn signal, often the vehicles right signal activates, very dangerous as other drivers may make adjustments based upon your signaled direction. Often applying the right signal, will not produce any activation at all.

When i slow down, and specifically turn the wheel in either direction, my dodge will randomly stall. The radio will stay on and the only way i know the truck has stalled is because i am not going anywhere. Once i put it in neutral it starts right up and takes off. This is extremely dangerous and has almost caused accidents. Took it to my local dodge dealership and they have no clue what it could be as they were "unable to duplicate" the problem.

The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact noticed a problem with the windshield wipers which stopped functioning on delay. They would stop in the middle of the windshield when he deactivated them. He later noticed that the left turn signal and the left headlight failed to function.

Turn signals work sporadically.this is a daily issue.signal left and the right signal comes on.signal right and maybe the left turn signal comes on, or maybe not at all.sometimes turn signals randomly switch back and forth between left and right on their own.many times turn signals don't work at all.once the wipers did not work.hazard lights sometimes do not work.i have had the multi-function switch replaced twice under warranty and twice again since.still have the issue.i believe this is a safety concern as the turn signals are telegraphing the wrong information to other drivers.also possibly related the oil pressure gauge in my instrument panel will not work 3-4 times a year.next time i start the truck it works fine.all this happens when the vehicle is in motion, and when stationary, forwards, backwards, straight, or turning.
Over the last few years, i have experienced problems with my 2005 dodge ram truck. Occasionally when slowing down to a stop light or making a left turn from a stop, the engine will cut off. I immediately turn the ignition off and then back on, and the trucks works perfectly after that. I first attributed it to a stall or bad gas, but now believe it is an ignition switch problem. I have contacted chrysler regarding this, but they are unwilling to inspect my truck without first charging an exorbitant service fee. I feel this diagnostic fee is very unreasonable, as this defect with the truck is a safety hazard to the drivers around me. I have contacted chrysler multiples times, and am now escalating this by filing this complaint.

Truck stalls daily.only stalls when coming to a stop.once completely stopped the tachometer jolts up and down, making the truck lurch forward, and will sometimes stall completely.does not happen while driving, or at low speeds, only at complete stop and in drive.if in neutral this does not happen.this is unsafe to lose control of your truck and at times it lurches forward trying to get the correct rpm.i have seen all over the internet how widespread this problem is and dodge has done nothing about it.many times i have seen where this has occurred to people while driving! this is an automatic transmission, everything checks out fine except this, it has to be a computer problem and needs replaced.i see often where people change many parts, sometimes helping but usually not.

I found out that my dodge had only the rear passenger side tail light working, no turn signals, the passenger headlight only worked on low beam, and the drivers headlight only work on high beam. I replaced every bulb in the truck and still the same problem. I did some research and found that the integrated distribution center ( fuse box) has been a problem with corrosion inside the box. I looked everywhere for a new one, no luck. I then called chrysler corporation and they searched the entire u.s. And not one dealer had a fuse box. I was told that chrysler used this fuse box only in 2005 and they have discontinued the part. I was actually told by chrysler to try ebay. With all the 2005 dodge rams and several other makes and models still on the road, how is it possible that they can just stop making a part vital to the vehicle. How has this not been investigated and a recall issued for this. If the owners of these vehicles can not find a used fuse box then the vehicle becomes a lawn ornament. This is a safety hazard that should be investigated and resolved. I am now paying my monthly truck payments on a vehicle i can no longer drive safely.
A very dangerous problem with my 2005 dodge ram 1500 pick-up is occurring on a daily basis when i use the turn signal - windshield wiper - high beam " multi-switch". When trying to signal a left turn by pushing down on the "multi-switch" lever(left turn signal flashes two or three times then right turn signal activates uncommanded) if i try to engage the right turn signal some times it won't signal / flash at all. My truck only has 46,000 miles on it, not a good testimate for dodge. I read in a dodge repair website / forumthat a lot of the same problems are occurring with the dodge ram pick-ups and mini vans. (all years) is there a recall or will a recall be considered in the near future?

The turn signal/wiper/lights assembly appears to have failed.when attempting to make a right turn signal, nothing happens.when making a left turn signal, the right signal happens instead.now, everything has failed.no brights, no turn signals, no wipers.researching on the internet, especially on the dodge truck forums, it seems to e quite a common problem.in fact that is where i got the link to this form to fill out.
The driver's side door lock actuator failed causing it to be stuck in the "locked" position.using the key fob and manually turning the key in the door lock had no effect on the mechanism.the only way to open the door was by entering through the passenger side.upon opening the door from the inside by use of the door handle the handle became stuck in the open position and had to be pushed back to its default setting.the lock makes a very loud "pang" noise now when locking as if metal on metal contact is being made.

I started to get a rough idle condition on my dodge ram 1500 quad cab with the 5.7 hemi motor and auto trans.now intermittently over the past several month the truck stalls when going from reverse to drive...though not that dangerous an inconvenience.the dangerous part is when i sometimes pull into traffic the truck will start forward as it should then the motor will just die causing loss of brake and steering functions.i am getting no engine codes or check engine light.i have even hooked the truck up to a computer with no codes detected.recently i went to pull into traffic onto a road that was 35mph and the motor again died.luckily the driver heading toward my driver side door slammed on their brakes and allowed me to put the truck in neutral restart it and get it out of the other vehicle's lane of travel.the throttle body has been cleaned the spark plugs have been changed with no luck and the problem persists.this is a link to just (1) website of many that i found that shows this is clearly not isolated to my vehicle.http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/ram_1500/2005/engine/engine_stalls.shtmli cannot even begin to diagnose this problem because it is so sporadic with no engine lights or codes it would probably cost a small fortune for a dealer to diagnose this issue because of the amount of time in between the stall conditions.

There were no warning indicator lights present when the vehicle stalled . The road conditions werenot a factor. The dealer was uable to diagnose the failure. The current and failure mileage was 17,800.
When i turn on my left turn signal my right turn signal blinks. Some times my wipers won't come on or stop running. I am told that the multifunction switch needs to be replaced. This is definitely a safety issue.
Four times in two years driving the dodge ram vehicle suddenly died, loosing power steering and breaking. The first time it caused me to run through a stop sign when the vehicle was less than three months old.the second time, i was going slow and straight.the third time i was on a curve and barely maintained control while stopping.the final time in 2007 was on a curve and my vehicle stalled and ran off the road crashing/bumping into a curb.each time was at speeds less than 30 mph.i was concerned it would occur at higher speeds.i had taken it to the dealer twice and they could not identify a problem.they claimed to have downloaded the black box and reportedit did not indicate a stall.after fearing for my daughter that was with me, i immediately traded the vehicle in for a ford. The dealer's service technicians treated it as though i was imagining the problem.the dealer i traded the vehicle into is both a dodge and ford dealer with the same repair staff servicing both lines of vehicles.i reported the problem to the dealer's sales staff when i traded the vehicle in.did the dealer warn the buyer of the vehicle when they resold it?this dealer is still in business in branson, missouri.
This has happened several times. I will be driving the vehicle, and the rpms will drop too low (even when giving the truck gas) and suddenly the vehicle will stall. This has happened going 60 mph on the highway, during turns, and also when coming to a stop. The vehicle does restart immediately, though when i am driving i have to put it in neutral to restart it. I have almost been in accidents due to this issue. I had the fuel intake cleaned thinking that might be the issue.
On august 5 and 6th the vehicle lost power while i was operating it with my children inside in the middle of traffic. I researched the problem and found that there are many complaints online. I called a dealership and was told that there is soon to be one if not yet. I am very much afraid for my family being that this is the only vehicle i own and is a single parent and need my vehicle. I also called the chrysler corporate office and was told that there is nothing that they can do for me unless they had more complaints in there database. I mention what the dealership said and what i researched online. I think that this is a very serious complaint and someone need to move quickly.
My vehicle is a swb quad cab4x4 1500 6 ft bed. I was traveling at 30 -35- mph going through a slight right curve when the engine shut off and i lost all power in the vehicle (in traffic) i put the vehicle in neutral and restarted the truck at about 20 - 25 mph and continued on.

The engine stall which appears you have investigated is concerning for me. Multiple times i have been make a r turn and had the engine "die" in deceleration through the turn resulting in the truck losing power steering and electrical components of the truck. The recent incident almost resulted in me striking a motorcycle waiting in the l hand turn lane for the traffic signal. The engine has stalled in several other turn situations causing me to be restarting at stand still in traffic. I feel this has proven to be a safety concern and not just a inconvenience.
The truck will start surging between 30 -65 mph and the engine will fail causing loss of brakes and power steering. While idling the engine will rev up to 3000 rpm up and down and will also do this while in drive. While idling at a stop light the truck will surge forward like the gas pedal was pushed to the floor and i have almost hit numerous cars in front of me many different times. I have had the throttle body cleaned and replaced, egr valve replaced, and the electronic throttle control replaced by a dodge dealership. On average, this problem occurs 5-8 times a week. To this day the problem still exists (7/29/2010).

A sensor for the transmission or computer is faulting out cousin the transmissions or gears to shift in causing it to slow down suddenly or shift down and it's not working properly
The abs module needs to be replaced to enable the abs to work as well as turn off the abs/brake light lights. Other than no one will want to pass it due to the lights. The part was discontinued which one must believe was a mistake as this is a critical part.

At approximately 35 mph my driveline dislodged from my rear differential and locked up the wheels (differential.). The road was a popular well maintained paved road. Fortunately no cars or pedestrians were close by and speed was relatively low, otherwise this could have ended with serious injury or fatality.in addition to the recent incidentwith the differential, i have experienced other issues with this ram:-new engine after cracking both heads while driving down the freeway (it gets serviced regularly and doesn't tow often).-idle has sudden surges at a stop.-transmission skipping gears.
After picking up my truck from my local body shop on the morning of july 28,2013 i drove back to work very pleased how she looked.the truck drove perfectly fine no problems after getting off from work i picked up youngest daughter from dance practice less than a mile away from my job. An hour later i picked my eldest daughter from her job less than three miles from home again the truck drove fine.about one hour later i drove 12 miles to do a plumbing job when outta the blue the oil indicator started acting erratic it would go from the lowest point in the red to a safe level, after several times of this i pulled to a gas station and added two quarts of oil after i added the oil i checked the oil level it was at a safe level. I finished the job checked the oil level before leaving the customer home it was still ok.i got on the turnpike drove about three miles when the indicator dropped to the red line and the engine just died. I started the engine but got an god awful sound from under the hood i shut the engine off and had the truck towed home. I hired a mechanic to check the truck for me and was informed that i would need to replace the engine in my truck.is there a recall on the oil pump or that system?

Purchased the truck new in 2005.wife was driving to store when engine shut off.she turn around and drove 1.5 mile back to house and parked truck.truck had plenty oil, but was leaking oil from passenger side valve cover had a small hole.pulled covers, both heads and found head cast had broke off on passenger side. This caused hole in valve cover. Bottom of both head casting had damage to valve seal which should be pressed into place.three of the seal pop out about 1/4 inch.and one of the seal on driver side head casting cracked cylinder head. This should not happen.i never seen this type of damage to headers.i think the casting if flawed.before taking the valve covers of, i thought if i get another valve cover might be ok.so i searched for a valve cover.i called two dodge dealer part department. Withnell dodge in salem and mark thomas motors in albany oregon.both dealer parts department told me they had over 60 back orders for this valve cover.that's over 120 back order for valve covers. I suspect other truck owners thought all they needed was to replace the valve cover and that should fix their problem.i also suspect the flaw in the header cast is the problem and is causing a chain reaction to occur when parts of the casting break off, hit the valve cover, which can cause the truck to overheat, and result in damage to cylinder head, rings, and header, all because the head casting was molded with an inherited flaw. Nothing make sense as to why truck had problem with header, except bad cast for header.i hope your organization can do something about this matter.i put less than 15,000 miles per year on this truck, and i should be enjoying this truck for trouble free.with dodge history of failure to notify vehicle owner about inherited problems with past, i do not expect dodge to take responsibility for what i have experienced.
Over the last few days the vehicle idle has been extremely erratic.today pulling up to a stop sign at a slight curve, the vehicle/engine just shut off.i was able to restart it but it was a very dangerous situation as my power brakes and power steering both shut off unexpectedly and could have caused a major accident if there had been other cars coming.
Engine stalled without warning while traveling at slow speeds causing loss of brakes and steering control.this has happened numerous times while both traveling straight and turning.it has been a very dangerous issue to deal with.
Truck keeps stalling in drive and reverse. The truck will only run good if its in neutral. The rpms just drop suddenly, but the truck is able to start right back up with no problem. Truck also has had throttle body replaced along with o2 sensors. The engine light keeps coming on and sometimes the engine light would flash for a period of time.
Well i was about 2 to 5 miles from home the truck lost power and then about half way up the drive way the oil pressure dropped to zero and never came back up i started it back after it died and it started to knock so i turned it off and it has not been started since.
Truck stalled as i was turning into a driveway.this resulted in loss of steering control.there were no indicators on the dash that the engine had stalled.in doing an internet search, this seems like a common problem with dodge pickups of this vintage.
This was my fathers truck.i was out of the country when he purchased it.upon his death, i began driving the truck.it was still brand new, by approximately 7 months. In one instance i was driving in saticoy, south on the 118 before going over the bridge.as i got a yellow light, i slowed down and the truck eventually stalled and had no ability to steer.i was in the truck, with my mother, at an intersection and had to immediately restart the vehicle because our lives were in danger due to traffic.upon restarting the vehicle, i resumed to my destination.on another occasion i arrived to who is now my sister in laws house, located in simon way.in that evening it was my turn to drive to oxnard college.as i pulled out of her driveway, the truck again stalled.i had to restart it again and decided that we would go to school in her vehicle.these two incidences are just a couple of many bad early on experiences with the 2005 dodge ram truck i had and would go to you guys and complain, and you guys never did anything about it because nothing ever resulted in your diagnostic and would happen to you guys when on one occasion the vehicle was in your possession.attached see exhibit 1 which shows of a vehicle rental on 12/06/06 when the dodge truck was in your possession.i precisely recall why i had the stratus rental and it was because crown dodge had my truck, trying to figure out what was wrong with it.crown dodge was billed for the rental.well, crown dodge inspected the truck, but the problem continued.exhibit 2 demonstrates another time that i complained because of the same problem with the vehicle.to date, the dodge ram truck 1500 continues to stall.my husband uses this vehicle to drive to work.at times he uses this vehicle to take our children out and i am always concerned because of this.

I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 crew cab with the 4.7 and 4x4. Today while driving with cruise control set at 75 the accelerator stuck and i had to turn the key off to stop the truck.the truck has less than 54,000 miles on it.i don't have floor mats in the truck and once the truck was stopped i checked under the hood and the cable was tightly connected but lose on the throttle body and the same on the gas pedal.
My 2005 dodge ram 1500 black rumble bee truck was stopped at red light as was fixing to make a left turn the truck stumbled as if stalling and then shot off wide open throttle my foot was not on the throttle, in to oncoming traffic i made the turn and avoided hitting any body and slide in to the parking lot where i rolled the truck in the empty lot. The police came up that watched the wreck and said that's what i get for hot rodding the truck i told them i had not and turned the switch back on with truck in park and it went to wide open throttle. They quickly said it was out of my control and called the wreck a mechanical failure.after a two months fight withinsurance company i bought the truck back they had totaled the truck it only has 27000 miles on it. I went to hoover and talked with service and the owner finding out that this had happened in several other chrysler 300s and other ram trucks with the 5.7 hemi just at his dealer ships (4). Once every thing got settledi started looking at the truck and found the throttle stuck wide open i released the throttle actuator the throttle snapped closed replaced it with a used one truck idles fine scared to move it but idles fine. What can be done about this if anything.

Took in for an oil change, after 1 1/2 hours of waiting the service man came out and showed me the plastichandle of the dip stick that broke off. I was then informed it will be a while to fix, so i went home when i picked it up i was billed $400.00 to get the dip stick out, and replaced. I went on line and 2 different auto parts stores and they didn't have any. But the dealership had one on hand. I'm 66 years old, and went in for a $20.00 oil change, the dipstick was only pulled out 12 times, but due to the plastic handle, it cost me $400.00. What was wrong with the old style sticks that were one piece of metal, with a loop on the end for your finger to pull out? how many of these dip sticks break per year? as a % , what is the failure rate? someone is getting rich off this thing, and it sure isn't me.

Engine has stalled intermittently in the past, usually at low speeds (i.e. When pulling out of driveway or street or shifting from drive to reverse when parking.multiple times, there was no warning and vehicle just cut off in middle of road, with no power steering or brakes.luckily no accident, but this seems like it could be a dangerous situation.i never thought anything of this before because it happened so infrequently and vehicle always restarted. This morning the vehicle stalled while standing in line at gas station (after filling tank), and then multiple times after that.this is new since in the past, it would stall once and be fine.this seems to be a degradation of something, but no engine lights are on, so no codes to check.the crankshaft position sensors was replaced recently after and engine light came on and vehicle would not start.the sensor replacement has fixed that problem and this seems unrelated to the stalling issue.

Over the last few years, i have experienced problems with my 2005 dodge ram truck. Occasionally when slowing down to a stop light or making a left turn from a stop, the engine will cut off. I immediately turn the ignition off and then back on, and the trucks works perfectly after that. I first attributed it to a stall or bad gas, but now believe it is an ignition switch problem. I have contacted chrysler regarding this, but they are unwilling to inspect my truck without first charging an exorbitant service fee. I feel this diagnostic fee is very unreasonable, as this defect with the truck is a safety hazard to the drivers around me. I have contacted chrysler multiples times, and am now escalating this by filing this complaint.

I started to get a rough idle condition on my dodge ram 1500 quad cab with the 5.7 hemi motor and auto trans.now intermittently over the past several month the truck stalls when going from reverse to drive...though not that dangerous an inconvenience.the dangerous part is when i sometimes pull into traffic the truck will start forward as it should then the motor will just die causing loss of brake and steering functions.i am getting no engine codes or check engine light.i have even hooked the truck up to a computer with no codes detected.recently i went to pull into traffic onto a road that was 35mph and the motor again died.luckily the driver heading toward my driver side door slammed on their brakes and allowed me to put the truck in neutral restart it and get it out of the other vehicle's lane of travel.the throttle body has been cleaned the spark plugs have been changed with no luck and the problem persists.this is a link to just (1) website of many that i found that shows this is clearly not isolated to my vehicle.http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/ram_1500/2005/engine/engine_stalls.shtmli cannot even begin to diagnose this problem because it is so sporadic with no engine lights or codes it would probably cost a small fortune for a dealer to diagnose this issue because of the amount of time in between the stall conditions.

While driving with the air conditioning on when i slowed down to stop behind a stopped vehicle my 05 dodge ram 1500 quad cab with a v8 stalled out. I had to put the truck into neutral to start it back up & continue going. This has happened so many times while slowing down or stopping that i no longer can keep count.it has also happened when making a turn which caused all loss of power steering & power brakes.so far i have not wrecked when this happens but it scares me or my teenage driver to death.i have reported it several times over several years & nothing is being done.i also know this happens with the 2004 model of dodge trucks as my nephew own one that i have drove & it happened the only difference in trucks is his 04 has the hemi. And this only happens when the air conditioning is on.i guess someone is going to have to wreck & die before dodge recalls & fixes the problem.but until then i will keep reporting here & to dodge.

The first time this happened, i was turning at an intersection and the truck just stalled. No warning or check engine light nothing. I had no power steering or brakes. Luckily no one hit us or we didn't hit anyone. My husband and brother pushed the truck into a near by parking lot. After about 20 min. The truck started back up. Three days later i was driving down the street pulling a trailer. The truck stalled again i was able to get it to roll into a parking lot. It started back up.we took it to a mechanic. He couldn't find a code on it. This continued to happen quite often. The mechanic finally changed out a sensor , that cost us $385.00. After a week the check engine light came on. The mechanic said the code could be several things and i don't have the money to keep changing things that are not working. So now if i let my fuel tank get down less than a half tank the truck misses and tries to cut out like its not getting enough fuel. I can't even drive it because i am afraid it will stall and i am a small women. I can't fight it with no power steering and brakes.
The vehicle stalls at low speed turns or slowing down, the vehicle has trouble starting.
My 2005 dodge ram has been stalling while idiling at stop lights/signs.it was throwing a code of p0115. I have now replaced the throttle body, egr valve, thermostat, ect sensor, and cam sensor . The truck is at the dodge dealers for now 9 days. The service tech are pulling out their hair trying to find the issue. I see that other dodge trucks and cars have the same problem. So why is there not a recall on this item?this is a safety concern. Especially when the truck dies while turning i could get hit. I have been dealing with this on my own for the past three months. Now the service techs are at their wits end too.
There had never been any previous issues with my dodge 1500 engine (2005). On july 21, 2014, while driving home from work on the highway, my temp cage started moving toward hot. I got home, turned off the car and popped the hood. The coolant was completely out! went to pep boys, filled it up and tried to start my engine, would not start. After getting it towed to three different locations the diagnosis was 4 cylinders dropping and needing an entire engine replacement. There was no "known" reason why this happened as all the mechanical parts were working properly (initially the fan was to blame -- but turned out it was working completely normal). $6,000 later (new engine and labor) i am still wondering why this happened with no answers. Insurance won't help, no mechanic can explain this to me. Please help!
The engine stall which appears you have investigated is concerning for me. Multiple times i have been make a r turn and had the engine "die" in deceleration through the turn resulting in the truck losing power steering and electrical components of the truck. The recent incident almost resulted in me striking a motorcycle waiting in the l hand turn lane for the traffic signal. The engine has stalled in several other turn situations causing me to be restarting at stand still in traffic. I feel this has proven to be a safety concern and not just a inconvenience.
Stalled as i was pulling off highway, going into gas station.lost steering almost hit gas pumps. This is the second time i have reported this. It has happened several times. I also reported the issue to a dealership a few years ago.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. While driving at various speeds, the cabin filled up with smoke and the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine had a hole in it that caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,000.
The truck stalls when slowing for a stop or idling around a corner. That is a safety issue because the steering and brakes are locked up at that point. Whether it's idling in a traffic jam, coming to a stop, or idling around the corner, you will suddenly have no power but everything else is on. Not the engine and it was so smooth that you don't notice until you can't brake or steer. There are hundreds of people with this year make and model that are having the same problem. I understand there was an investigation but it was closed without resolution. Case number ea05018. This is a growing problem and we the people are spending hundreds of dollars to replace parts that are just part of a trouble shooting issue and most of us still have the problem. And it's the same for all of us. Please relook at this problem. If i were the only one i could understand but i am not. We love our trucks but this is a serious problem. Last night i was in a double turn intersection when it shut off. Thankful i was in the outer lane and hit the median and not another car. If you read on car complaints.com under 2005 dodge ram 1500 stalls/shuts down while driving, you will see that this is a serious problem and there are loads of people. They think the repair fixes but it does not and the issue does not happen all the time. It started occasionally but now it's almost daily and multiple times a day. Please please help! this started in 2009 when we bought the truck and has progressively gotten worse. Not sure if previous owner had issue but it may be why it was traded in.

I bought this truck in 2014 from the family of the original owner who was deceased. It now has about 116,000 miles. The engine stalls unexpectedly and randomly at slow speeds, often while turning on curves or at intersections, but not always. I have made all repairs recommended by dodge and other mechanics, but it still stalls. The dodge people say they have never seen or heard of this problem, but the internet is full of accounts of very similar situations.
The truck is falling apart.the welds are coming apart & the whole body is rotting faster than i can fix it.i will not be able to get another inspection sticker.i have replaced the transfer case, water pump, serpentine belt & pulleys, rear drive shaft, upper & lower ball joints, tyrods and the whole brake system. The truck needs to be recalled.
My 2005 dodge ram has been stalling on the freeway when slowing down in traffic and when coming to stops at intersections. It has been doing this for years. I have had engine lights come on and had mechanics work on it. This problem continues and is very scary. I can not trust to take it on long trips.after goggling on the internet i found that most dodges have this problem. I will use social media to let my family and friends know that dodge is not the truck to buy. I can not believe they are not recalling this issue in their trucks some thing needs to be done to correct this issue. Starter will go out if this continues also putting in neutral will not do the transmission any good,it feels like it is messing up now.
Driving down the road and the truck just stalls out lose all power and controlling is very hard to steer.
Blew a rod and rear axle broke
Brought my vehicle in for a tune up and recalls, they did a 23 point check and advised me to drive the vehicle 200 miles and return, started the engine after a couple of days and oil and antifreeze exploded all over the engine, was advised to refill and drive to ri suretsky, the engine cut off on the hwy, they xame and towed me saying my engine was blown, wouldnt they see this after spending 2500.00 on repairs, my truch was in good shape pryor, thankyou.
My 2005 dodge ram srt-10 viper truck engine stalls/shuts down without warning, no codes, no errorlights while driving...i have a problem with my truck stalling out when parking or going through slow turns. In the middle of an intersection'while an emergency vehicle was approaching, it died and i slowly drifted over to an adjacent curve..the most recent was on 11/06/15, but it has happened at least 5 times over the past 5 months. All lights and the radio remain on and it starts right back up, however my steering and brakes lock up which is a huge safety concern. When the steering wheel is turned my rpms drop dramatically and it sounds like the truck wants to stall. Started surging and stalling so in it went in again, this time they replaced the iac module ...and then they thought it might be the fuel pump'so they tested the fuel rail and claim that it was losing 5% of its torque'but not to be concerned'then they thought it might be the map sensor'but no !...again with no indication, no error lights; andno codes'' and the dealership mechanics still can not get it to run without shutting off once you step on the accelerator it dies' to dealer for checkup. Could not and can not find the problem. And they charged me $967.00why can't fiat-chrysler save face when they know a part problem exists and just fix it right without ripping off customers ?the mopar mechanics have had my truck since november 6th, 2015 , (over two months ) and still can not figure out what is wrong with it'..'theywant me to pay more money while they explore different options they claim that the fiat-chrysler coprporation engineers want them to try''really..ss you are asking the consumer/customer to fund the education of your mechanics'fiat-chryslerreally ?????please recall these trucks before some-one or some-family gets killed please..please !!
I purchased my 2005 dodge ram used in 2010 with 74,000 miles. Shortly after i purchased it the truck would die when coming to a stop, no power steering, no power brakes. Well i took it to 3 different dealerships to try and get an explanation after i replaced the iac valve and cleaned every piece of the induction system including all sensors and the throttle body. I reset the ecu and started the truck and let it warm-up for 10 minutes before my test drive. This fixed the problem for 2 days then the rough idle started again and it died at the top of the street. I have been dealing with this issue for 3 years now and someone needs to be held accountable i have had 3 different dealerships look into the problem and i have tried to work it out through private mechanics. In my search for a resolution i have a documented expense well over $1937 and i still have to live with the stress of knowing my truck could die causing a serious accident. At this point i am considering selling the truck for lack of an affordable remedy. Upon researching my problem i have found hundreds of similar stories from people having the same issues as i am, please help us resolve this issue and hold the manufacturer responsible for a potentially fatal engineering flaw!

My 05 dodge ram has been stalling in traffic at low speeds regularly of late. It also happened recently while parked for the first time. It ocasionally (1 failure out of 7) gives an error code and check engine light which reads as a bad crank shaft position sensor.i have put 3 on in the last 2 years. It started as intermitent and has become a steady issue. Truck has never run hot, no noises from engine to indicate a bad bearing or mis alignement.wheel teeth are not broken or wornand there is not buildup of flakes or shavings anywhere that would be causing a fualty signal.wiring rings out as good. Replacing the sensor was allowing normal operation for a short period but it is re-occuring at a faster rate each time.truck does, so far, continue to resart almost imediately but still presents considerable risk in heavy traffic conditions.this was looked at previously and tsb 18-013-05 was released as a "fix."it has not been a successful fix as the issues continue to re-occur with what apears to be a fairly alarming rate. Truck currently has 160,750 miles on it. The last 3 sensors were installed in 2 years and less than 20,000 miles.

Hole in right side valve cover.called withnell dodge in salem and mark thomas motors in albany oregon.both dealershipshave over 60 back orders for this particular valve cover.that's over 120 back orders.if i called other dealerships i suspect they will have back orders for the same product.to me this means their is a problem with dodge pickups having problems with valve covers, which are plastic.i suspect the value cover blew a hole and this caused the engine to overheat.i am not sure if i have any other problems as a result of valve cover blowing out.i will not know until i replace the valve cover.i also think a recall should occur as a result of these numbers.i think dodge knew about this problem as they are the only one who can replace this valve cover.parts stores like napa, do not carry this part, which means dodge dealership parts department must order this particular part.and i was told this part is not available in america, which means a foreign country is producing this part, which dodge has to order and track.so what is nhtsa going to do.date of incident was july 2,015.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v817000 (air bags), 14v796000 (power train), and 14v770000 (air bags) exceeded a reasonable amount of time. The dealer informed that the parts were not available for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the delay. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000.
Since i first bought this truck in 2005 its had a pretty serious problem with stalling out when coming to a stop, and even worse, sometimes mid turn while moving. This is a very dangerous issue since loss of control is eminent in this type of incident. Along with this stalling out, the truck has a rough idle/surging idle issue when at a stop. Ive tried all types of repairs, and spent alot of money trying to fix this issue with no avail. I took it into dodge after i first bought the truck and they said they could not recreatethe problem and everything was fine. I took it in again and they cleaned the throttle body. Still same issue. Now ive replaced, out of my own pocket, the egr valve, throttle body itself, evap purge valve, and have tried a list of other remedies. Still not fixed. After a quick search of many different dodge ram club online forums this is a very very very common issue with these trucks, and all of us owners are fed up. Dodge wont take responsibility for this serious issue, and unfortunately people may die because of this. Please help us!
While taking low speed, tight turns with my 2005 dodge ram 1500 truck the engine stalls out. I'm pretty sure this issue is the same as the nhtsa action number:ea05018. This has happen several times within the last two month. The local dodge dealer "cleaned" the intake manifold, (charged me $89.00)but it is still happening.
Engine stalls while driving, this has happen twice in one week and could of been very dangerous if i was on the interstate, i took it to a shop and they said it put out a code for the wheel speed sensor and the stalling is happening because when the truck is moving it's putting out a signal saying it is parked.
Contact owns a 2005 ram 1500 slt 4.7l. Contact states this has happened several times randomly. Truck will die while driving down the road or maneuvering at low speeds. Truck has had one random incident of over heating and had to pull over and shut truck off to cool down. Restarted just fine! plastic seat belt buckles have broken and seat belts don't retract fully. Then around april 2014 started hearing a whining grinding,howling noise thought it was the tires or the road. After a few months the noise was still there so called a repair shop took it in. Had it looked at. The repair shop diagnosed it to be the rear differential pinion nut backing off. Repair shop said the truck needs the differential repaired or replaced. A short time later, i received a recall notice around february on the truck for p77 & p81. Have contacted dealer via phone on several occasions. Dealer says parts are not available at this time, and don't know when the parts will be available to remedy the situation. It has been almost 3 months since i received the notice. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle occupants and/or other's safety.*(since the problem is, the rear axle pinion nut on your truck may have been built without an adhesive patch on the pinion nut threads. The lack of this adhesive patch could allow the rear axle pinion nut to loosen and/or the rear drive shaft to separate from the rear axle. A loose pinion nut could cause the rear axle to seize and a separated drive shaft could cause loss of motive power. Either situation could cause a crash with out warning! and the airbag inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially injuring the vehicle occupants).dealership says should be okay to drive.!! i don't see howdodge chrysler! can keep production/sales of these unsafe vehicles. When so many vehicles are being recalled. Thank you for your attention of this matter. Updated 06/29/15.
Was at a complete stop waiting to turn onto my road and when i went to step on the gas nothing,no lights or sound indicating that it had stalled. Read online of the samething happening to others while driving even at slow speeds etc. And it would stall losing power steering and brakes. This needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed. I refuse to drive my truck until i can get something done about it. Dangerous.
Engine stalling, engine stalls in all driving conditions. Pcm has been updated with new code and still occurs. Several components replaced and still engine stalls. Dodge service department recommended higher octane fuel and the engine still stalls. We have made a total of ten repair attempts and the engine still stalls on average one to two times per week.one occurrence of stalling left the pickup in intersection which caused a near-miss traffic accident.
I like many others have a problem with my dodge 1500 stalling after accelerating or while turning. I bought the truck 2 1/2 years ago with 34000 miles on it and it started doing it right away...probably why the previous owner got rid of it :) yesterday, it left me alongside the road in a terrible rain storm on my way to pick my son up from school.i have taken this 2005 dodge 1500 out on the air force base for hunting and when we came back to the check station (very rough roads-washboards, potholes, deepsand, etc) my engine was revving up and down.when i got onto the interstate to come home the cruise would not engage,i opened the hood and pressed on all the injector and plug wires and the truck ran smooth and the cruise started working again. Things were fine for a few weeks but then it started stalling/cutting out again.i pressed on the wires and things were fine again.now yesterday, it stalled coming into a turn. I put it in neutral and it started back up.i went through two stop signs with no problems but when i got up to speed and went about 1miles, the check gauges light came on.i looked and it says i was running hot.so i pulled over and turned on the heater?the heater blew cold because i haven?t gone far enough for it to heat up yet so i turned the engine off.i sat there for about 5 mins and turn the key until the gauges came on but did not start the engine.it said my engine was just off the cold mark and the check gauges light was gone.i drove the truck home without any further problems.the stalling problem is dangerous since i never know when it will happen and it has happened several times while taking a sharp corner on my street.dodge, please fix this problem. It could be as simple as a connector wiggling loose.
The truck will idle then rev up, idle then rev up upon a cold start.engine loses power during low speed turns and sometimes upon slowing to a stop.when engine power is lost, there is no power steering or brakes and can very easily cause a crash.
I have a 05 dodge ram 1500 with hemi eng. About 6 months ago it starting stalling from time to time. Usely when i slow down to stop the eng shut off. It will restart but not normal, i have to push the gas pedal down, its starts up and is ok for days. If i am above 60 mph when it malfuction it will start surging and i shift to nutural and riv the eng up and put it back in drive and its ok again . I am below 60 mphwhen malfuction occures the eng quits. The tem is always below 50 degrees. Took to dodge dealer they charge me 66 dallors to tell me they could not determ the problem . And they would not let me talk to their machanics . If i could talk to them we might could figure out the problem, i suspect it has something to do with the electronic throttle control.
2005 dodge ram hemi pickup truck.slowing from 35 mph to take a significant corner when i discover there is no steering to speak of (strongman steering only).i barely make the corner almost hitting a newly renovated church.my next inclination is to pull the truck over and stop and i experience minimal to no brakes with maximum effort.no sensation that it had stalled and no indication on the panel indicator lights.i had the radio of and the fan on low with only road noise and i had no idea the engine had stalled.i've been driving safely for 33 years and this tops the list of freaky incidents and sensations (tops losing a wheel).turned the ignition off and then back on and the truck started like nothing had happened.drove the truck straight to the local garage.i'm concerned about the incident (very dangerous) and the fact that there are so many similar complaints about this situation online that relate to the hemi pickups.this could easily cause major accidents to innocent, unknowing people and families.
Dt: consumer states that on two different occasions while doing a three point turn and a u-turn, the vehiclestalled.the vehicle is currently at the dealership being looked at.
My dodge ram 1500 truck with a 4.7 engine has stalled a couple of time right after i start for the first time in a day and drive to a stop sometime very soon after i start it. The engine has a dip in rpms, and then tries to lurch forward when i'm on the brake, and then stalls. I start it back up and it's fine. It's happened about 5-10 times since i bought it back in april 05. The dealer had no clue what was wrong, they tried keeping it for a week and weren't able to reproduce the problem.
Was turning onto freeway onramp at approximately 5 mph and engine stalled. I have had intermittent rpm fluctuations the last month but have not experienced a stall until now. With a automatic transmission vehicle this seems rare and dangerous.
My trucks engine stalls out on a weekly basis. This occurred yesterday and nearly caused me to crash. I've taken it to the dealer twice and both times they were not able to figure out why this is happening.
Son was driving dads 2005 1500 dodge ram slt hemi engine pick up truck and it caught on fire today from the engine. Fire depart was called in yucaipa ca and now our truck is at the redlands auto center in redlands ca.the front tire was burned, hood, and all the electrical wiring was melted. The battery totally melted. Truck only had 55,000 miles on it.
This complaint is a continuance of a previous complaint number 10175625 filed 12/08/2006.i have an ongoing problem with my 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.7l hemi.the vehicle will at times stall when driving down the road.it seems to happen more often when the vehicle is cold and it is cold out side (near freezing).since i filed my first complaint, i have had additional stalling occurrences with the vehicle.it was picked up from the service department on december 15, 2006.it was driven about 60 miles without incident.on the 16th, i went to the store.as i exited my neighborhood, the vehicle reached about 30 mph and hesitated where it would not accelerate any further for about three seconds and then stalled. I restarted it and continued down the road.when i left the store to come home about five minutes later, the same thing happened but only with a one second hesitation and stalled.i called the service department right away and dropped it off to them the following monday morning.i have been working with the dealership where i originally purchased the vehicle.their customer service has been excellent.the service department has not yet been able to duplicate the problem.they have replaced both transmission filters and a crank sensor.this has not fixed the problem.the dealership currently has possession of my vehicle for the third time in two weeks.i have expressed to both the dealership and chrysler, both verbally and in writing, my sincere concern for the safety of myself and my family.i do not feel that this vehicle is safe to drive until it is fixed.i have asked that if it is not able to be properly diagnosed and fixed, to release me form my lease obligations with chrysler financial.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the lifters or valves within the engine failed. As a result, a loud knocking noise would come from the engine. The contact also stated that the engine control module was previously replaced. An authorized dealer informed the contact that failures of the engine valves, lifters and control module were a common occurrence. The failure mileage was 73,000 and the current mileage was 101,000.
When i slow down, and specifically turn the wheel in either direction, my dodge will randomly stall. The radio will stay on and the only way i know the truck has stalled is because i am not going anywhere. Once i put it in neutral it starts right up and takes off. This is extremely dangerous and has almost caused accidents. Took it to my local dodge dealership and they have no clue what it could be as they were "unable to duplicate" the problem.
In my truck as well as many other owners of this same truck have faulty oil cooler lines installed on them from dodge. The specific truck is the 2004-2006 dodge ram srt-10. One member of the auto forum even had his truck and house completely lost due to fire, and his incident was not isolated.
My 05 ram 1500 has now stalled out twice in the 2 months i have had it. The first time i was stuck in rush hour traffic so i was at a stand still but now this time i was turning into a school and the truck stalled and steering wheel locked...i almost hit 2 teachers because of this...the lights and radio was still on though..this is a major problem that needs attention before someone gets seriously hurt..
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500.while attempting to park the vehicle at 10 mph, it stalled without warning.the contact was able to restart the vehicle shortly after the failure.he is in the process of having the vehicle inspected to determine the cause of the failure.the failure and current mileages were 63,000.
Engine quit at low speed. Applied brakes,went to neutral and was able to start car.i use tis truck to pull a fifth wheel,since this happened don't trust if this happened with the trailer there will be three dead bodies. Will get rid of this truck don't trust it. Dealer siad there is nothing they can do about sincs it it intermitten.
I am having a few problems with my truck for the past year.1)my truck will stall out or have a dip in the rpm's when stopping at a stop sign or stop light.2)the big problem i have happens once every 1-2 months.i will be driving my truck and all of a sudden the check engine light will flash and the truck has no power at all.the gas pedal will be on the floor and the truck will have no response.the thing that i am worried about is if this problem happens on the freeway and i get into a big car accident.i brought the truck into 2 different dodge dealerships and they both said the same thing."whatever is happening isn't being copied to the computer and while our mechanics took it out for a test drive the problem didn't happen."they said the only way they would be able to diagnose the problem is if it happened while they drove it.so they couldn't do anything fix the problem.
While backing out my driveway i went to turn the wheel and there was ashudder ,i went to put the brakes on ,no brakes then the engine died. Making me hit a parked vehicle .this happens on and off and should be addressed ,before there is an injury or death .come on dodge fix this!!!!!
Vehicle stalls suddenly while traveling, with no warning, the engine light doesn't come on or anything. You have to stop and put it in park to restart (tried to restart in neutral-doesn't work). When it shuts off, there is no power steering or brakes, but luckily it usually starts up fairly quickly because it is very scary when you are on the highway. Have taken it to the dodge dealership twice and they said "they have no idea what it is".
My vehicle is a swb quad cab4x4 1500 6 ft bed. I was traveling at 30 -35- mph going through a slight right curve when the engine shut off and i lost all power in the vehicle (in traffic) i put the vehicle in neutral and restarted the truck at about 20 - 25 mph and continued on. The trucked had been running for about 20 min before it happened. The second time i was leaving work and pulled up to the automatic gate and stopped to wait for it to open and the truck just died. It had only been running for about 2-3 min.
This incident has now happened more than once and i am quite concerned. As i drive my 2005 dodge ram 1500 v8 hemi, it stalls on me without warning. Prior to this the svc engine light would come on. I took it in to autozone w/a registered egr sensor, valve, etc. I replaced the valve, cleaned out the throttle. The light went away after this fix. But as i stated, as i drive the vehicle it continues to shut off w/no notice at all. I thought to prompt an investigation as all of my online findings would indicate the exact same problem.
I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 truck, and have had an issue that started as just a starting problem, it would take a few tries to start the truck; and no dealer or private mechanic could tell me what was the problem, even though there was an engine light on. The problem recently got more severe, and dangerous, i was driving to work and after finally starting and driving for a few miles, the engine just turned off; right in the middle of the road, no brakes, no engine, no steering....the key was turned in the on position and the air and radio was still working but the engine was off; upon searching for a solution to this problem online, i came upon a link that the nhtsa was looking into the matter, because this problem seems to be fairly widespread based on an internet search, so i thought i would send this in to see if there was any new info, or if there could be a solution to this dangerous issue. Thanks.
On august 5 and 6th the vehicle lost power while i was operating it with my children inside in the middle of traffic. I researched the problem and found that there are many complaints online. I called a dealership and was told that there is soon to be one if not yet. I am very much afraid for my family being that this is the only vehicle i own and is a single parent and need my vehicle. I also called the chrysler corporate office and was told that there is nothing that they can do for me unless they had more complaints in there database. I mention what the dealership said and what i researched online. I think that this is a very serious complaint and someone need to move quickly.
My 2005 dodge ram 1500 has a stalling problem.it seems to happen at low speeds, while turning, and while having the brake applied.i have taken it to the dealer too many times to note.they have made one repair attempt.i was told that there was going to be an update on the software, but never received a call back.every time i take it in the dealer tells me there are no codes on the computer - and therefore they cannot diagnose the problem.and am told that they cannot duplicate the problem (might be because they drive it for 1 mile).i guess when the truck stalls and fatally kills a bunch of people is when they will make an effort to address and repair this problem!!!!it is very scary to have your vehicle stall leaving you with no power steering and no power brakes and virtually no control over your truck!!!
Vehicle engine stalls when slowing to make turn or just slowing to speeds below 25mph.
2005 dodge ram 1500 pickup. Stalls when stopping and turning. Engine revs. Truck will stall in traffic without notice. This has happened on at least10 seperate dates.
(1) anything, anywhere, anytime, any speed.(2) engine stall. Brakes and stearing in-operable, total control failure of vehicle.(3) flash update of the trucks computer chip, many trips into the dealer, latest advice from the dealer is they will not do anything about this issue except to note my complaint in the service file...
2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 4.7ll engine stalls randomly dealership refuses to acknowledge a problem because they cant replicate the issue. The engine also has poor oil circulation and an extreme sludging issue to my understanding this causes the truck to shut off as well and should be investigated.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500 quadcab lwb.while merging into traffic at 55 mph the contact accelerated and the gauges on the dashboard began fluctuating out of control.the vehicle then shut off and the gauges remained stagnant.the engine locked up and the vehicle was towed to a mechanic.the mechanic stated that the failure was caused by sludge build-up.the warranty will not cover the repair because the dealer stated that the vehicle did not receive routine oil changes.the contactinsistedthat the vehicle has had regular oil changes.currently,he must pay $10,000 for a new engine.the current and failure mileages were 44,200.
I own a 2005 dodge ram 1500 slt 4x4 5.7l v-8 hemi.this truck and stalling out have become synonymous. Within the first six months of owning the truck i notice that whenever i would cold start the truck and put it into gear the rpms would drop and the truck would stall. Similarly it would stall out whenever i was coming out of reverse and into drive (after backing up). I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed the problem as a faulty crimp in the spin up transmission filter. They replaced the filter and everything was fine for about a year. The truck started dying on me again only this time the check engine light would come on and off at random intervals (not seemingly related to the truck dying). I took it in and this time they diagnosed a faulty egr valve. Apparently is was sticking open and causing the truck to run lean and stall out. They replaced it and what do you know...about a year later (yesterday) i was coming home from work and the truck started shuddering and dying and had no power under acceleration...the check engine light came on and now here it sits in the shop...again for the same problem. Three times this truck has actually put my safety in jeopardy by dying in the middle of the road (the second time was in the middle of the highway during rush hour and i nearly avoided a collision). I've done some research and apparently this is a common problem.i have found hundreds of complaints online for this very same problem and have even found people who claim to have gotten into accidents because of this vehicle stalling.dodge cannot determine the cause of this problem and because they cant/wont investigate hard enough they will not issue a recall.how many people have to get into accidents or die because of this problem before it gets elevated to higher attention levels?
When making a turn at slower speed <35mph, the engine may stall. Extremely dangerous when turning left in front of normal oncoming traffic and engine stalls, power steering goes out and you are left powerless in front of oncoming traffic.
Truck stalls or completely shuts off while driving.the dash and window area rattles. Dealer said that there is nothing wrong with truck. The truck had only a week and it was shutting off by itself. The situation of the truck made my wife scared to drive. The dealer lithia played it off like it's nothing maybe its the fuel blahh,blahh.
My 2005 dodge ram 5.7 hemi engine stalls at random times when slowing for a stop. I see tons of people on car forums with the same problem.this is very dangerous.
Truck stalls daily.only stalls when coming to a stop.once completely stopped the tachometer jolts up and down, making the truck lurch forward, and will sometimes stall completely.does not happen while driving, or at low speeds, only at complete stop and in drive.if in neutral this does not happen.this is unsafe to lose control of your truck and at times it lurches forward trying to get the correct rpm.i have seen all over the internet how widespread this problem is and dodge has done nothing about it.many times i have seen where this has occurred to people while driving! this is an automatic transmission, everything checks out fine except this, it has to be a computer problem and needs replaced.i see often where people change many parts, sometimes helping but usually not.
2005 dodge ram frequently stalls at slower speeds and rpm's.the engine shuts off without warning often after letting off the gas pedal at lower rpms.it has happened at speeds of 20 mph and lower, while taking turns, approaching stop signs and at the crest of hills when i let off the gas.very dangerous and resulted in running off the road into a ditch in one case.the dealer was not helpful on both occasions when they kept the truck for repair purposes.in both cases they said they could not do anything since the computer did not register a specific failure.i told them that it was related to the low rpm's and that it was not a "sensor" issue.they refused to investigate further as they felt this would be chasing the problem "blind".
2005 dodge ram 1500 with 5.7 hemi. As vehicle is slowed down for stop or turn engine shutters harshly and then stalls. Restart is possible, but each time a stop is completed engine stalls.
For some reason my truck just stalls out when making a right hand turn or left hand turn or if you slow below 5 mph and try to turn the engine just shuts down and dodge acts like its just me. I feel this is a accident waiting to happen lets take care of the issue before someone dies. I paid 35,000 dollars for this truck and it shouldn't be a lemon even if the tranny has been rebuilt 3 times already. But there is something going on and dodge needs to fix it at there cost not ours.
I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 with a 4.7 liter v-8. The problem like many others have had is that the truck will rev up and down at idle and slow speed. After the truck stalled, almost getting me in a sever crash at an intersection while towing my boat, i took it to the dealer. They said the egr valve was bad and replaced it. This worked for about a year now the problem is back.
I have a 05 dodge ram 1500 that stalls when slowing down to stop or take corners.when it stalls you loss power steering which has cuased me to almost be in mulitple accidents going around corners.this is a major issue and muliple people and model years have had the same issue.
Engine stalls or dies at slow speeds, stoplights or turning.
The truck just stalls out occasionally when you're going around a corner in city traffic (around 15mph). The truck loses power steering and brakes. Its really hard to steer a vehicle that big without when it stalls out and my wife was lucky to not get hit from behind or crash into another vehicle. The dealer has replaced the egr valve twice and replaced the ecm, once in 2007 and then this year. Hopefully, this will fix the issue permanently, but i have my doubts.

Engine stalling:initially it started off as a shutter when the vehicle turned.this was reported but consequently no action was taken because the mechanic could not feel it for himself.several complaints later, the mechanic finally felt it and ordered a part(throttle body).that was done but the problem still remained.a little after the part was replaced, the engine started to stall when we would turn.reported that to the dealer but again, nothing was done because the mechanic said the vehicle was fine.now, they ordered a power steering pump that was finally replaced after going in several times and it coming in defective (time ended up being several months).the power steering pump has now been replaced but the engine is having trouble starting (takes about 5-6 attempts) and is stalling now more than ever.it stalls after we turn while driving at a speed no more than 20mph.now our warranty is over as a consequence and dodge is not wanting to fix the problem even though we reported this prior to our warranty expiring.

My dodge ram 1500 with a hemi engine has stalled numerous times while slowing down to make a turn at an intersection.when the engine drops down to about 1200 rpm, it just quits without warning, killing the power brakes and power steering mechanism in manual.this truck is over 6000 pounds, adrift, half way through an intersection.twice i have nearly run over a small vehicle stopped at the intersection.yesterday i went off the road.someone will be hurt in one of these instances.i have read numerous posts on this engine problem.dodge needs to recall this truck and fix this problem.
Stalling issue with 2005 dodge ram 1500 ext cab.approx 2500 miles.truck stalls intermitently while in reverse or shifting from reverse to forward.the issue has occured several times since purchasing the vehicle.the dealer has investigated two or three times.initial investigation determined possible cause as contact issues with ignitiion swith module and it was replaced.since then the truck has stalled two additional times and is again at the dealership for investigation into root cause.the dealer is having a difficult time determining the issue since the stalling is intermittent and cannot be easily repeated.overall the dealer has been responsive to the issue but has not yet implemented a permanent fix.
When the truck is at a lower idle speed like 5 or 10 mph such as at a stoplight or stop sign, it will stall. This happens about once or twice a week pretty regularly. Another way it will stall is getting onto the freeway at about 30 to 40 mph the truck will stall and just shut off. The power steering shuts off along with the interior lights and radio. This forces the driver to have to pull over on the freeway and can really cause an accident. This has happened to me three times in the last 3 years. I changed the egr valve and that was supposed to fix the problem but even with no codes or engine light on, it is still stalling at stoplights and low rpm situations. The local dodge dealership cannot find anything wrong since there is no codes coming up. Also reading the problem on websites such as carcompaints.com, it seems this problem is alot more common than i ever thought and surprised it has not been a recall yet.
I lease a 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.7l hemi.my vehicle has roughly 17,800 miles on it.i am having stalling problems with it.in early november i went outside to turn my truck on to warm it up.i moved it forward about 5 feet and put it in park.when i did this, the engine shut off on it's own.i took me about three minutes to restart the vehicle.once it restarted, it ran fine and showed no other symptoms of a problem.on december 3, 2006, i was driving home and exiting from the freeway.when i reached the red light, i stopped and the truck stalled out.i restarted it and it ran for about five seconds and stalled again.i put the car into neutral and started it and kept my foot on the gas to keep it running.at the next light it died again and continued to do it everytime i stopped.i took it into the dealership on december 5, 2006.they looked at it and said that they could not find anything wrong with it.the computer did not show any codes and they could not duplicate the problem.it only happens periodically and it did run okay as i drove it to the dealership.on december 6, 2006 i was driving the vehicle and it stalled again at a stop.i am scheduled to take it into the dealership again on december 12 to have them "flash the pcm".the dealer has informed me that their special tech has seen this problem on a few other vehicles and does not quite know how to fix the problem.i have done some research and found that the nhtsa is conducting an investigation for this problem in dodge rams and dodge durangos.i have two small children and do not feel safe to drive them in this vehicle.my wife and i make conscious decisions regarding our childrens safety.placing them into a vehicle that stalls at will is not smart.if you have any guidance or information that would assistin this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.
On my 2005 dodge ram with the 5.7 hemi at times will stall at lights i have taken the vehicle to the dealer and they were not able to recreate the concern in 2 days. I went to the dealer and duplicated the concern within 10 miles. The technician told me the transmission fluid was low and added fluid. I drove the vehicle for a day and was stopped at a stop sign, the vehicle lunged forward and stalled. I have requested assistance from dcx and they wanted to flash the pcm. I let them know the pcm was replaced a week earlier for a charging system concern i had. I believe the pcm should have come with the latest software.

I am the original owner of a 2005 dodge ram 1500, and have always kept my truck in excellent physical and mechanical condition, and there are no incomplete or unperformed recalls on this vehicle.there were no indications of any kind of mechanical issues with this truck until sunday, 6/22/14, approx. 6pm. I was driving at approx. 35-40 mph along a local street, approaching an intersection, when it sounded like a blowout, but the truck continued to drive into an intersection. This was followed by whining and banging sounds, which as it turns out, was a the drive shaft tearing up the underside of my truck. ,,i made it thru the intersection, and part-way into a parking lot driveway, when the 2 pieces of my driveshaft flew off and the entire back end locked up, with my truck blocking traffic. I am disabled, and was fortunately not injured, and no one was hit by the flying pieces of the drive shaft as they flew out. The truck was inspected by a geico adjuster, who indicated he was well trained with truck parts and mechanical, and that one of the pins had backed out of the 2005 dodge ram 1500 drive shaft into the rear differential, causing spider gears to lock up and the driveshaft to tear away from the rear axle. I have a copy of the geico report.the adjusters assessment was confirmed also by the repair center, who mentioned that they had seen this same issue before.this is an extremely hazardous mechanical failure; the vehicle appears to keep running, but the driver and passengers are in a vehicle that ultimately cannot be controlled, and the drive shaft comes into 2 pieces and flies out, potentially injuring by-standers and other property....updated 01/07/15 updated 08/23/2017*ct

2005 dodge ram 1500 (4.7).my vehicle will stop running and an indicator light on the dash comes on.after evaluating the problem at a local parts store it was determined the egr valve is bad.the vehicle has 43,500 miles on irt.
On going problem with dodge ram 1500 trucks.they contain a faulty exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve.the sensor causes trucks to stall out when driving at slower speeds under 40 mph.with loss of power loose power steering and power brakes.i would also imagine affects exhaust emissions as gas mileage severely drops when egr valve is going out.trucks engine malfunction indicator light usually comes on.if you go to dealership will charge you $175 to tell you why indicator light came on.if you turn the key on-accessory, on-accessory, on-accessory and finally on rapidly, will show you error code on odometer for free.usually will get a p0404, p0405 or p0406 code which is the egr valve out or on its way out.if yousearch the internet you will see hundreds of postings with ones regarding vehicles stalling out.something needs to be done before some unlucky person is involved in a collision due to loss of power.
Check engine light has come on. Code shows problem to be catalytic converter.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated there was an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic stated that the exhaust manifold bolts were fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
The consumer statedthat inspection was done on vehicle and the hood was found to be corroded.rusting activity was present at time of purchase. There was an exhaust pipe leak mid-point underneath the truck. The inspector stated that this was a major safety concern due to possibleintrusion into cab area while driving. Also, exhaust systemmuffler,catalytic converter, and pipe showed signs of extreme overheating. Heavy deposits of dry fluffy carbon was evident inside the tail pipe. Indication of rich fuel mixture that will cause overheating with possibility of fire. Suppose to be new 2005 4x2ram single cab.
I started noticing my truck wanting to lose power when getting to a low cruising speed; approximately 25 - 30mph's. The truck would start to rev up and down, bouncing the rpm's from 900 to about 1600 as if you were tapping the gas pedal. Then the next occasion while it was happening, i came to a stop light and the truck completely died/shut off. Now its been happening for about a week or so and now when i go to take off from a dead stop, i have to really get on the pedal to make it take off. I took the truck in to see what was wrong with it when the check engine light came on, they reported a 406 error reading:the egr value was not functioning correctly.i went to my local dodge dealership and they told me that they have been having this problem alot with the vehicles coming back...come to find out, that is not covered under any type of warranty.
Bolt on exhaust manifold broke causing exhaust leak. Bolt had to be drilled out and replaced along with the exhaust manifold. Repair shop said this is common on dodge vehicles. Bolt receives too much vibration and heat.
Since buying my 2005 dodge crewcab 1500 pickup i have been experiencing bad headaches.i went to a number of doctors and underwent a number of tests.no cause for my ongoing headaches could be found.last weekend my oldest son and i went on a several hour trip in the truck and we both became sick.on a hunch i stopped and purchased a carbon monoxide tester and when placed in the cab of the truck it sounded an alarm.in the next few days i tried the alarm many times and on all occasions it sounded an alarm.i feel that there is some fault with this truck that is allowing, or causing, carbon monoxide into the cab of the truck.
Continuing issue with egr valve, after about 5 minutes of research i can see this is a wide spread issue.also, after discussing with several mechanics this is a not a valve that should go out in the first four years.truck idles rough and stalls at slow speeds, valve is evidently faulty or other piece of system, whether that's solenoid, fuse, electrical connection, sensor is faulty.cannot believe after reviewing that there is not a recall on this valve. Also, very difficult to find particular part in-stock at any parts stores.
I have a complaint just as the gentleman below me. I have came extremely close to having accidents so many times that it worries me to drive this truck any where any more. 5-8 times per week the engine stalls. Usually when slowing down to a stop or turning.sometimes while accelerating at traffic lights. Check engine light is on with the codes po404 & po406 set (egr valve) serviceman at dealership said if not replaced, it can cause other damages to the engine. ***2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 4.7l v8. 3-4 times / week the engine stalls while driving less than 10 mph, usually while slowing down to stop and sometimes while accelerating slowly. Check engine light is on with engine codes p0404 & p0406 set (egr valve) talked to service department at dodge dealership. They said that this is a common problem with this model and that dodge isn't doing anything to correct it unless i pay to have them fix it. The egr valve apparently has a design flaw and prone to fail.***
The catalytic converter was replaced in 2007 under warranty. Dodge states it is bad again. Truck now has 64000 miles on it. Also the drivers side front bearing and spindle had to be replaced in 2009 because of a the same problem in the 2006 model due to insufficient lubrication at factory.

The truck will start surging between 30 -65 mph and the engine will fail causing loss of brakes and power steering. While idling the engine will rev up to 3000 rpm up and down and will also do this while in drive. While idling at a stop light the truck will surge forward like the gas pedal was pushed to the floor and i have almost hit numerous cars in front of me many different times. I have had the throttle body cleaned and replaced, egr valve replaced, and the electronic throttle control replaced by a dodge dealership. On average, this problem occurs 5-8 times a week. To this day the problem still exists (7/29/2010).
Lights go off while driving and the only way to fix it while driving is to flip it back to parking mode, this only works until the lights go off again than just flip it back to regular headlights.this can be dangerous while driving at night with all the deer that runs around my neck of the woods, not to mention the 50' to 100' drop offs to the left and right sides of the main road.
I lost my parking lights (tail lights) this morning before i went to work at 3;30 a.m. When i got off work i began my search for solutions how to repair this problem. My discovery was kind of disturbing. It turns out that there are a lot of other owners of the same vehicle that are going through this problem. It has something to do with the the fuse box inside, there is a faulty wire that causes this and the only solution is to replace the whole thing. Makes me kind of wonder what other problems are wrong inside the fuse box.i feel that chrysler should recall this part and replace it. Do we have to wait for an accident to happen before something is done about it?i read on the forums that this part is on back order because of this problem this in itself should be a red flag. Not sure what to do about this. I will order this part if i must but with the large amount of others having the same problem maybe dodge should pick up the bill. Thanks for reading i hope there is a solution.
Abs sensor comes on over 55mph. Exterior lighting keeps blowing bulbs and sometimes the tail lights completely shut off, sometimes brake lights inoperable. Windshield wipers work when they want to or only at the highest frequency. All occurs while vechicle is being driven in city street conditions other than on highway when i have to go above 55mph
When i turn on my left turn signal my right turn signal blinks. Some times my wipers won't come on or stop running. I am told that the multifunction switch needs to be replaced. This is definitely a safety issue.
Turn signals!!!!!!, turn on left the right one flashes!!bright lights stick on,and sometimes my wipers work when turning brights off.the turn signal ordeal while trying to turn in downtown colorado springs, was not a good deal.... I got many middle fingers.

2005 dodge ram 1500 pickup sltturn signals malfunction intermittently.right signal will blink when left signal is activated and vice versa.have had problem for approximately (1) month.dealer indicates no recall or service bulletins issued.i ordered used replacement multifunction switch from e-bay.still deciding if it is something i want to attempt on my own.others on internet have had similar problems and found that replacing this part resolves the problem.
The turn signal/wiper/lights assembly appears to have failed.when attempting to make a right turn signal, nothing happens.when making a left turn signal, the right signal happens instead.now, everything has failed.no brights, no turn signals, no wipers.researching on the internet, especially on the dodge truck forums, it seems to e quite a common problem.in fact that is where i got the link to this form to fill out.
Turn signals work sporadically.this is a daily issue.signal left and the right signal comes on.signal right and maybe the left turn signal comes on, or maybe not at all.sometimes turn signals randomly switch back and forth between left and right on their own.many times turn signals don't work at all.once the wipers did not work.hazard lights sometimes do not work.i have had the multi-function switch replaced twice under warranty and twice again since.still have the issue.i believe this is a safety concern as the turn signals are telegraphing the wrong information to other drivers.also possibly related the oil pressure gauge in my instrument panel will not work 3-4 times a year.next time i start the truck it works fine.all this happens when the vehicle is in motion, and when stationary, forwards, backwards, straight, or turning.
My 2005 dodge ram 1500 slt truck has around 52,000 miles on it as of now.i am starting to experience turn signal problems.when i turn my turn signal on for the left the right comes on and when i turn my signal on for the right nothing comes on.this has happen to me twice so far.i believe this is a safety issue that needs to be fixed by the dealer.

I found out that my dodge had only the rear passenger side tail light working, no turn signals, the passenger headlight only worked on low beam, and the drivers headlight only work on high beam. I replaced every bulb in the truck and still the same problem. I did some research and found that the integrated distribution center ( fuse box) has been a problem with corrosion inside the box. I looked everywhere for a new one, no luck. I then called chrysler corporation and they searched the entire u.s. And not one dealer had a fuse box. I was told that chrysler used this fuse box only in 2005 and they have discontinued the part. I was actually told by chrysler to try ebay. With all the 2005 dodge rams and several other makes and models still on the road, how is it possible that they can just stop making a part vital to the vehicle. How has this not been investigated and a recall issued for this. If the owners of these vehicles can not find a used fuse box then the vehicle becomes a lawn ornament. This is a safety hazard that should be investigated and resolved. I am now paying my monthly truck payments on a vehicle i can no longer drive safely.

A very dangerous problem with my 2005 dodge ram 1500 pick-up is occurring on a daily basis when i use the turn signal - windshield wiper - high beam " multi-switch". When trying to signal a left turn by pushing down on the "multi-switch" lever(left turn signal flashes two or three times then right turn signal activates uncommanded) if i try to engage the right turn signal some times it won't signal / flash at all. My truck only has 46,000 miles on it, not a good testimate for dodge. I read in a dodge repair website / forumthat a lot of the same problems are occurring with the dodge ram pick-ups and mini vans. (all years) is there a recall or will a recall be considered in the near future?

Last saturday on june 28 2014 i was leaving my residence when i observed a small leak dripping out of my rear differential where the pinion gear goes into the differential. I ordered a pinion seal at my local auto parts store. On my way to the parts store i noticed a very faint whine coming from the rear end. About 1 to 2 miles after the whine was first noticed it quickly became a roar for no more than 20 seconds and then the pinion gear snapped at the differential locking both my rear tires up sending my truck sideways. With my son in the back seat it was a very frightening experience for a 2 year old. I couldn't move the truck out of the middle of the street so i sat helplessly and waited for a tow truck. The next day i looked underneath the truck and realized that along with my rear end being toasted so was my drive shaft which had damage from spinning freely. Then i observed my gas tank with a dent so big i have no choice but to purchase a new tank. So far i have been quoted for a used rear differential at several salvage yards from 800-1400. It's ridiculous that this problem continues with dodge trucks and nothing is being done about it. Is it going to take someone loosing there life because negligence from dodge to get these problems fixed and hold dodge accountable!!!!
Occasional use of vehicle.nothing has changed about how or when the vehicle is used.when filling truck with fuel, the pump will shut off after very little time and fuel sprays out of the filler neck and onto the ground and/or person filling the tank.if the fuel is pumped extremely slow, the pump will still shut off every few seconds and fuel will still spray out of the filler neck.the problem occurs every time i put fuel in the truck, no matter what gas station i use.my internet research has shown a recall for dodge durangos of the same era.there have been several complaints on internet message boards with the exact same problem i am having.fuel spillage is extremely dangerous as well as bad for the environment.
The fuel tank on this truck leaks, the tank and the parts on it seem to be faulty, there are cracks were the fill tube is and tank is cracked, i believe the tanks on these trucks are a fire and loss of life issue,, it looks as the materials the tanks are made with aren't meant to be used for a gas tank, to me its poor material and design of a gas tank, when i took it to the dealer to trouble shoot my problem, they wouldn't even put what the problem was on the service ticket, they told me i need a new gas tank, as a retired nj state certified fire fighter, i see this a real life safety issue,

The engine stall which appears you have investigated is concerning for me. Multiple times i have been make a r turn and had the engine "die" in deceleration through the turn resulting in the truck losing power steering and electrical components of the truck. The recent incident almost resulted in me striking a motorcycle waiting in the l hand turn lane for the traffic signal. The engine has stalled in several other turn situations causing me to be restarting at stand still in traffic. I feel this has proven to be a safety concern and not just a inconvenience.
Vent valve is cracked on fuel tank. Dealer let me know that it is such a common problem that they have no tanks available and they are back ordered. Seems they should have a system in place to replace just the valve not the whole tank. With gas leaking out the vent valve there is concern for a fire.
While truck was parked and secured, a fire started in the wire harness above the gas tank. Fire was contained before vehicle became engulfed. Fire department and police department reports made. Insurance company investigated.determined wire harness overheated and ignited gas vapor leaking from plastic fuel system lines.due to use of plastic materials, fire spread rapidly, including the top of the fuel tank melting.truck has been repaired.
I heard an unusual noise, kind of a rattle and vibrating sound.it continued to get louder for about an 8th of a mile. I began to move toward the right lane of traffic to exit the main road.the noise became extremely loud and there was a grinding sound.almost immediately there was a loud crashing thud occurred and the truck jarred to an immediate stop.after looking underneath i saw that the whole drive shaft was disconnected from the rear and fluid was spilling on the ground.the tow driver said he'd not seen anything like this happen.our mechanic came by our place took a look at it and told us about the problem with the rear of this make and model.the pinion nut fell off or vibrated loose. We couldn't understand what could possibly have happened, then it all made sense when we found the recalland investigation information.

When filling up for gas the pump does not stop causing gas to overflow from the fuel filler. I have contacted dodge and they will not do anything. I have researched this issue and is a common problem for these vehicles. I am concerned as this is a fire hazard every time i go to fill up at a gas station. I have owned this vehicle since july 2014 and this has been an issue since i purchased the vehicle.
Pulled into a parking spot in front of goodwill, foot on the brake, the truck surged forward, smashed into a metal pole, caved in my grill, bumper and hood and the airbag did not deploy.i had a bump on my head from the steering wheel and my wrists were bruised from hitting the dash.i took my truck to benny boyd here in marble falls per instructions from my insurance company and mark ball, the man who sold me the truck, told me to 'piss off' then filed a 'criminal no trespass' against me so i can't go back to the place i bought it.
November of 2016 the original fuel pump was leaking fuel, when it was removed the mounting flange had cracks all the way around the flange.the fuel would leak when it was parked with the engine off. I believe it leaked while it was running and moving.
My 2005 dodge ram srt-10 viper truck engine stalls/shuts down without warning, no codes, no errorlights while driving...i have a problem with my truck stalling out when parking or going through slow turns. In the middle of an intersection'while an emergency vehicle was approaching, it died and i slowly drifted over to an adjacent curve..the most recent was on 11/06/15, but it has happened at least 5 times over the past 5 months. All lights and the radio remain on and it starts right back up, however my steering and brakes lock up which is a huge safety concern. When the steering wheel is turned my rpms drop dramatically and it sounds like the truck wants to stall. Started surging and stalling so in it went in again, this time they replaced the iac module ...and then they thought it might be the fuel pump'so they tested the fuel rail and claim that it was losing 5% of its torque'but not to be concerned'then they thought it might be the map sensor'but no !...again with no indication, no error lights; andno codes'' and the dealership mechanics still can not get it to run without shutting off once you step on the accelerator it dies' to dealer for checkup. Could not and can not find the problem. And they charged me $967.00why can't fiat-chrysler save face when they know a part problem exists and just fix it right without ripping off customers ?the mopar mechanics have had my truck since november 6th, 2015 , (over two months ) and still can not figure out what is wrong with it'..'theywant me to pay more money while they explore different options they claim that the fiat-chrysler coprporation engineers want them to try''really..ss you are asking the consumer/customer to fund the education of your mechanics'fiat-chryslerreally ?????please recall these trucks before some-one or some-family gets killed please..please !!

There have been 5 recalls on my dodge ram.the airbags may rupture in 2015, the rear axle pinion nut may loosen at the differential (powertrain) in 2014, again the airbags inflator may rupture in 2014, the wheel hub assembly (wheels) in 2010,also a recall forthe after market replacement pitman arms (steering)in 2010. I have gone to my chryslerdealer in las cruces, new mexico; the dodge dealer has been closed for a few years now.i have been told i have to have a notification from chrysler/dodge to have them just to take a look at it, much less fix the problems.now there is a huge recall; this is now really gotten serious.please help me as much as you can to take care of the malfunctions on my dodge ram as soon as possible.i have not taken the dodge on long distance road trips for the past couple of years now.the failed components listed below do not show all the malfunctions i have listed above.
Recall p77my main problem with this is that if the pinion has become loose the gears are not lined up correctly anymore and causes extreme wear on the differential unit and will cause it to lock up.i called the manufacturer regarding this yesterday and they told me to talk to the service manager at my dealership. Today i went in to speak with him. I requested that he check the torque on my pinion nut "i have nobody here that is available to do that today" he stated. I then asked him when he would have somebody in to check it, "maybe tuesday or thursday when did you want it checked". "today" i stated. Following that he took down my vin number went over to the computer came back and told me that there is no remedy for the problem right now and to contact the manufacturer. Which i then advised him that i spoke with them yesterday and they told me to talk to my service manager. He stated that there is nothing he can do to my vehicle without chrysler providing the proper remedy.if chrysler does find that the nut is loose are they planning on replacing the ring and pinion since when this item is not properly installed it wears unevenly and can lock up. Chrysler also stated that they cannot verify if i will be reimbursed if i take this to a 3rd party repair shop to have this properly corrected, since the only people that seem to be able to correct this issue is a 3rd party repair shop. I am left with a choice of paying out of pocket for the repair to be assured that i am driving a safe vehicle with no guarantee that i will be compensated for my expenses, waiting for the parts to available and drive a vehicle that may or may not lock up the rear wheels without notice, or having a repair that may not meet your standards since i have not found out what the remedy is if the torque rating is under the specified 200lbs. That is my concern.

Dodge has a recall number p77. Dodge dealer, glenn e thomas dodge, of long beach ca refused to diagnose a vibration which seemed to be coming from the drive shaft,until after the recall was performed.there is no information on when this recall will be resolved.i now have aloud scraping noise coming from the rear differential and i believe the car is unsafe. Calls to the fcs recall center have availed zero information.there needs to be a time limit on these safety recalls. This vehicle also has another recall that dodge cannot fix p81.

I drive a ram 1500 4wd with the following rear differential: dmds3.55 axle ratio, drbscorporate 9.25 ld rear axle. While driving on a dry, bare road at 40 mph, i started to hear a low pitched growling noise from the rear end of my truck. I was trying to locate a place to pull over to, but within about 30-60 seconds i heard a single loud booming type noise from the rear end of my truck and the i wasn't able to accelerate after that (power loss to the wheels). The booming noise was my drive shaft that had just fallen off due to the pinion nut coming undone. Once the pinion nut/driveshaft came off the truck, something started flying around inside of the rear end differential case and cracked the bottom of my rear diff case (plus the rear diff was totally locked up). I recovered the driveshaft and found the pinion nut floating around inside of the driveshaft yoke flange assembly which was still attached to the drive shaft (pinion nut was not broken). There haven't been any repairs needed to that side of the rear differential (e.g. Like a pinion seal or the like), that would account for the pinion nut coming loose, only the standard fluid changes at the specified times using the proper fluids (per the tsb released by dodge: 03-003-06).during the fluid changes, there was no evidence of metal pieces or issues in the rear differential. Luckily i was on a side road during the incident in the early morning hours, but had just been on the freeway 10 minutes earlier. I can't imagine the safety issues that would have occured if that driveshaft came off on the freeway.

1st incident 2/21/13: driving on a 4 lane highway w/center left turn lanes at 40 when a car cut across from the right to make a left turn. Hit the brakes causing the front to lock up (rear abs only). Truck started stopping, but continued moving forward against the front brakes and into the car. Truck left unusually long skid marks. Police and insurance reports made. Damaged to front bumper.2nd incident 3/5/13: driving at 40 on curved section of highway with 2 lanes in direction i was going and 1 lane on opposite side separated by large grass medium when a car pulled out from the left hand u-turn in the medium. Hit the brakes causing the truck to slide straight through curve onto grass shoulder. Truck came to complete stop and heard the right rear spinning in the dirt. Put my left foot on the brake to hold truck from moving. I checked to make sure i was not on the gas. It spun for several seconds before stopping. Truck left normal length of skid marks. Did not smell burnt brakes in rear; possibly not engaged at all.i am currently looking to see if i can test the braking at a local dirt track to verify this issue, and to have outside observation of the occurrence. I have replaced all four disk brakes with high performance brake rotors and brake pads to assist with better braking in the last week. I will post the results here once i can arrange the test.have not had any problems with normal or heavy braking; only emergency braking.first incident resulted in an accident, luckily no injuries. The drive wheel was in the dirt for second incident; there was not an accident.this is a very serious safety issue, and may be the cause of other accidents and not reported because driver could not realize it happened. It appears to be the problem where the abs system causes excessive heat build up resulting in computer malfunction.
Rear driveshaft fell off with no warning whatsoever.was driviving about 35 mph.rear end locked up,thanfully no other cars around..i think there is a recall for this..dont think i should have to pay up front to get fixed..i could have been killed if i was on an interstae when this happened.then how would i have fixed that, then got reimbursted.

Takata recall & rear differential pinion nuti have received two recall notices for this vehicle. The reality is that i live on an island (kodiak, alaska) on which there is no chrysler/dodge/jeep/ram dealership. To get the vehicle to such a dealership would require a ferry ride of over 10 hours (each way) and the expenditure of over $500. I called the fca recall assistance center, explained the situation, and asked them to authorize a local non-dodge dealer or repair shop to do the work.they refused, saying i would have to pay for the repair myself and then seek reimbursement.

My truck has the p77nhtsa 14v-796 recall notice (rear axle pinion nut).i contacted my local dealership when i received the 1st notice (nearly 2 years ago) and was told the part required was currently unavailable but i would be put on a waiting list and be contacted as soon as possible for the repair.i have contacted my local dealer again each time i have received another notice for this same recall and each time i have been given the same response that the part is still unavailable.i cannot understand how a potentially deadly issue such as this rear axle pinion nut failing cannot be addressed in 2 years time.i don't know if this is chrysler's lack of concern or my local dealership.i was told again this morning that the part would be ordered specifically for me but that it was still nationally unavailable.who is responsible if serious injury or death to me or my family occurs due to this lack of response from chrysler?any help with this problem would be appreciated.

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

Was driving south on sr 19 in wakarusa in at 50mph andstarted to feel a small vibration. Let off of throttle and heard a whining noise. Then heard a bang and clanging. Pulled off to side of road and coasted to a stop. Looked in rear view mirror to see drive shaft laying on ground behind me. It had came loose from the rear axle. The bolt that holds the drive shaft hub to the rear axle had came out of the hub and separated. After separation the rear end made terrible noise. Removed cover on rear end to see gears and bearings had exploded inside and it ripped a hole in the axle housing inside the gear box. ...updated 01/07/15updated 6/11/2015

I took my truck to the dealership in elkhart indiana for the recall.they kept it for a week and then said the part was on back order and they did an inspection and told me it was okay to drive.the next morning i reported to them that there was a vibration in the steering wheel and they told me to bring it in so they could see.on the way back, my drive shaft detached in very heavy traffic.luckily there was a side road i immediately turned to.the vehicle was towed back to the dealership and i am awaiting a response.i feel as if this dealership either did not inspect or did not care that my pinion nut was loose.this could have cause a fatality because after my drive shaft detached, it was bouncing end over end in heavy traffic.updated 9/28/15 *lnupon completion of the re-work, i noticed slipping in the rear. I immediately returned the truck once again and found them very unwilling to listen and accusatory that i had done something to cause the damage. The result was that they had put the wrong differential fluid in the rear end. Upon completion, the truck performed normally. Updated 10/13/15

There's another 20 on 04 ram models,18 on 05 rams, dakotas & durangos, 06 models same way. Its all on here. The canadian highway dept has a 2007 on lock down and awaiting a full investigation after pinion nut came loose and catapulted the ram on its roof at 60 mph! its on facebook, and many on line forums state the same issues with pinion nuts coming loose. Dodge talk, the straight dope, just google it. I am requesting a better investigation be performed into the rear end/pinion nut recalls with dodge ram, dakota, durango and chrysler aspen vans from 2002-current date. After my investigation i found the following recalls on this site associated with the rear end/ pinion nut coming loose. Here's the info, recalls #95599, 79940, 793042, 93043, 95601,and lastly 95600 2/6/13. According to this site, almost 1 million vehicles on the recall list , just 2009-12. The recall 95600 states the 2009-2011 dodge dakotas manufactured feb 27, 2007 ect. I have a hard time believing 2009 dakotas were being manufactured n feb of 2007, which means the 2007 and 2008 models were being built then, but they are not in the recall, why not? also according to the chrysler's own admissions (viewable on this site) at your request to provide all info according to your investigation, (quote) that these same parts are "backwards" in earlier model years(meaning they have been using these same parts for years prior) and based on info i have found seems to be since 2002.

Truck stalls daily.only stalls when coming to a stop.once completely stopped the tachometer jolts up and down, making the truck lurch forward, and will sometimes stall completely.does not happen while driving, or at low speeds, only at complete stop and in drive.if in neutral this does not happen.this is unsafe to lose control of your truck and at times it lurches forward trying to get the correct rpm.i have seen all over the internet how widespread this problem is and dodge has done nothing about it.many times i have seen where this has occurred to people while driving! this is an automatic transmission, everything checks out fine except this, it has to be a computer problem and needs replaced.i see often where people change many parts, sometimes helping but usually not.

Re-call (p77) rear axle /pinionprior to my vehicle being served for this re-call it ran well but soon after the re-call was repaired i noticed there was a hesitation on acceleration especially noticeable on the interstate.my dodge ram 1500 has a hemi and there were no problems entering the interstate without any delay to reach the marked speed and merge with the traffic. After the repair on the re-call my truck would not go into a smooth transition into the gear; it would have a noticeable jerk in order to get to the speed needed to flow into the traffic.and i now my power steering has gone out; there is fluid in the container and no leaking i the driveway.i took the vehicle in the re-exam there work on the re-call they performed and the dealership started to charge me $99. To exam my complaints.i thought that re-call were not suppose to be an expense to the consumer.the dealership definitely treated me different from a regular "paying" customer.very disappointed with this re-call.

Contact owns a 2005 ram 1500 slt 4.7l. Contact states this has happened several times randomly. Truck will die while driving down the road or maneuvering at low speeds. Truck has had one random incident of over heating and had to pull over and shut truck off to cool down. Restarted just fine! plastic seat belt buckles have broken and seat belts don't retract fully. Then around april 2014 started hearing a whining grinding,howling noise thought it was the tires or the road. After a few months the noise was still there so called a repair shop took it in. Had it looked at. The repair shop diagnosed it to be the rear differential pinion nut backing off. Repair shop said the truck needs the differential repaired or replaced. A short time later, i received a recall notice around february on the truck for p77 & p81. Have contacted dealer via phone on several occasions. Dealer says parts are not available at this time, and don't know when the parts will be available to remedy the situation. It has been almost 3 months since i received the notice. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle occupants and/or other's safety.*(since the problem is, the rear axle pinion nut on your truck may have been built without an adhesive patch on the pinion nut threads. The lack of this adhesive patch could allow the rear axle pinion nut to loosen and/or the rear drive shaft to separate from the rear axle. A loose pinion nut could cause the rear axle to seize and a separated drive shaft could cause loss of motive power. Either situation could cause a crash with out warning! and the airbag inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially injuring the vehicle occupants).dealership says should be okay to drive.!! i don't see howdodge chrysler! can keep production/sales of these unsafe vehicles. When so many vehicles are being recalled. Thank you for your attention of this matter. Updated 06/29/15.

Purchased the truck new in 2005.wife was driving to store when engine shut off.she turn around and drove 1.5 mile back to house and parked truck.truck had plenty oil, but was leaking oil from passenger side valve cover had a small hole.pulled covers, both heads and found head cast had broke off on passenger side. This caused hole in valve cover. Bottom of both head casting had damage to valve seal which should be pressed into place.three of the seal pop out about 1/4 inch.and one of the seal on driver side head casting cracked cylinder head. This should not happen.i never seen this type of damage to headers.i think the casting if flawed.before taking the valve covers of, i thought if i get another valve cover might be ok.so i searched for a valve cover.i called two dodge dealer part department. Withnell dodge in salem and mark thomas motors in albany oregon.both dealer parts department told me they had over 60 back orders for this valve cover.that's over 120 back order for valve covers. I suspect other truck owners thought all they needed was to replace the valve cover and that should fix their problem.i also suspect the flaw in the header cast is the problem and is causing a chain reaction to occur when parts of the casting break off, hit the valve cover, which can cause the truck to overheat, and result in damage to cylinder head, rings, and header, all because the head casting was molded with an inherited flaw. Nothing make sense as to why truck had problem with header, except bad cast for header.i hope your organization can do something about this matter.i put less than 15,000 miles per year on this truck, and i should be enjoying this truck for trouble free.with dodge history of failure to notify vehicle owner about inherited problems with past, i do not expect dodge to take responsibility for what i have experienced.

This complaint is in reference to recall # p77/nhtsa 14v-796.i have contacted the dealer for a remedy for this severe dangerous condition and they say that parts will not be available for 5-6 months.since this condition is reported that it could cause a sudden and severe crash and virtually makes this vehicle unsafe waiting 5-6 months for a fix is very unreasonable.this vehicle is used to tow a camper trailer with children making this a very dangerous situation.the dealer says that they can disassemble the potential faulty parts and determine if there is an immediate potential for failure.they are unwilling to do this because it is not part of the recall requirements.i believe due to the severity of the problem and the length of time the dealer is unable to respond that they should be required to take intermediary safety steps.
Driving on parkway, 9/13/14, noted a humming noise from rear-end, when checked found to be leaking around pinion seal behind drive-shaft yolk. When changing seal noted pinion nut to be extremely loose when going to remove it. Replaced seal, tightened pinion nut back without any locking pin noted and noted rear-end still humming but not as bad, and no leak remaining at this time. Feel possibility that pinion nut being loose could have further damaged bearings and pinion, and feel this could be a safety issue. No crash has been involved or further damage noted to this point.

The rear differential locked up and the driveshaft separated at the rear connection to the differential in model year 2005 dodge ram 1500 pickup. There was little or no noise or other warning prior to the lock-up and separation. The pinion was forced into the rear differential causing the lock up and damaging the internals. The drive shaft with the u-joint attached fell to the ground and was pulled free of the transfer case. I was traveling a speed of < 35 mph and was unable to move the vehicle. The vehicle was towed and repaired. I am in possession of all damaged parts and have supporting repair documentation. I am aware there is a pending investigation with this issue.

Another vehicle cut in front and braked for red light causing me to "lock up" the brakes. The truck has rear abs which kept the rear wheels from "locking up". Vehicle accelerated during heavy braking which caused the collision. About 50 feet of brake marks were left on the road surface from the front tires.in a separate incident, a vehicle suddenly merged from left side of road causing me to swerve to the soft shoulder on the right. Truck had come to a complete stop when the right rear wheel started to spin. It spun for about 10 seconds before it stopped. Tire dug into the soft shoulder and left a spray of dirt behind the truck..have been searching for a facility to test the braking system. It appears related to the stalling while stopping problem.

Just exited freeway when heard a low sounding whining from the rear of the vehicle when decelerating. Shortly after further travel at approx 35 mph a loud bang occurred and rear wheels locked up causing a long tire skid where vehicle came to a stop. The driveshaft was on the ground separated from the differential. This is the second occurrence of the exact same problem that occurred in august 2009.at that time, the vehicle was repaired at a chrysler jeep dealership.

I was driving at approximately 40mph when my truck made a loud banging noise followed immediately by the wheels locking up causing the rear end to slide out from under me and cause me to come to a skidding stop. I was able to gain control of the vehicle and avoid an accident however a passerby called 911 believing there was a wreck. After coming to a stop the drive shaft was laying on the ground completely separated from the rear end. After being towed to a shop we looked and nothing was broke the nut had backed off of the pinion gear causing it receded back into the differential and the nut was still in the drive shaft. Luckily there was not an accident but if i had have been at a higher rate of speed i don't know that i could have controlled the vehicle and possibly could have been in a serious accident.

"takata recall" i went to tom o'brian chrysler dealership back in july 2015, about this recall, and i have followed up 3 times to find out when i can bring my truck in to do both recalls on this. They ordered the parts for both recalls and they told me that their oly can do 2 trucks a month because the way their recall works they bring a truck in , do the recall work and then they send the part back and wait for the next replacement part to come in. If this is the real case, it will be several years before i can get my truck worked on. So if this is a safety recall they should be doing a lot more trucks they 2 a month. I want to keep my truck but i am very concerned about a accident . I think if i have to wait longer, chrysler should provided me with a vehicle til my truck gets fixed.

I was driving at approximately 65 mph on i-95, and when crossing a small overpass, i heard a high pitched whine. I thought it sounded similar to the noise tires make when on a bridge grate, but it was louder and higher pitched. Approximately 15 seconds after the first occurrence, there was another quick whine and all of a sudden the truck began to shake violently. There was a very loud and fast banging noise coming from under the truck. It felt like the truck was coming apart around us. I was in the fast lane, so i was able to pull over and hit the brakes immediately. I looked under the truck and saw that the drive shaft had become detached from the differential housing. I had it towed to a shop. The mechanic told me that the spline nut had completely backed off allowing the drive shaft to come free. He mentioned that there didn't appear to be any evidence of thread lock compound on the spline. Fortunately, i was able to stop before the bearings jammed up the gears and froze the rear differential. I have had it in a total of three shops for assessment. The consensus is that the rear is damaged beyond repair and needs to be replaced.

I was driving in the far left lane at 65mph on the freeway and all of a sudden without warning, i heard a loud banging noise at the back end of the truck. The back end of my truck was being thrown around causing me to almost lose ntrol of the vehicle nearly causing a bad accident. I pulled over on the left shoulder and the truck came to a screeching stop. I was pretty shaken up. I got out and at first thought i blew a tire. Then looked and the tires were fine ,so then i looked underneath my truck and saw the drives haft came out of the rear differential. I was not in a safe place on the left shoulder, as its in the middle of the freeway. I immediately called for a tow truck. The tow truck couldn't tow as the rear end was completely locked up. The california highway patrol tow truck showed up, and an officer had to shut down a crowded freeway to get me and my truck off the freeway safely.later in the day i researched and found out about a recall on the 2005 ram 1500. I contacted the previous owner who was the original owner, and he was never notified of this particular recall. I am in the process of contacting dodge to see what they are going to do about it. They are responsible for putting safe vehicles on the road. I could have been killed and possibly hurt others. These trucks are not safe unless this issue is fixed. It happens without warning, so if you own one, get it taken care of right away!!!

While driving at approx 30mph, i heard a growling sound coming from underneath the vehicle, which stopped. A few seconds later, another, louder, growling sound was heard. As i started to pull off the road, there was a loud boom, followed by the real wheels locking up. Upon inspecting, found the driveshaft had come off the differential.
I was driving along interstate 80/94 in northwest indiana when i started to hear a whirling noise coming from my truck. As i was trying to determine what was going on i heard a loud a pop and clanking noise coming from the rear of the truck. After pulling to the side of the road i noticed that my differential had fallen off the vehicle and rear end was completely locked up. I drive a 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4 that has never been over worked and properly maintained for as long as i have owned it. After having to have the truck towed to the dealer ship i was informed that the rear differential had "hand granaded inside itself" and had to be replaced for $2400 plus towing, and vehicle rental. For a 2005 with only 74000 miles this should not happen and there are way to many reports of this happening among dodge trucks. I was fortunate that a serious accident didn't not occur when my rear end locked up on the highway, but who to say if the next person will be so lucky. At some point these trucks are no longer safe to have our family's and young children in never knowing when they will locked and cause a break down or accident.

I was driving my 05 dodge ram 1500 4x4 traveling on the interstate doing 55 mph when i heard a whining noise that grew real loud. As i attempted to pull over to the median the truck locked up and skidded to a stop just missing the guard rail. I got out and looked under my truck and saw the drive shaft had broken off from the rear end/differential and oil was pouring out the differential casing from the exposed hole where the drive shaft had been attached. If this had happened on the drive lanes i think there would have been a collision with other vehicles that may have been behind me. I had it towed to the repair shop that had repaired the rear end in 2010 at a cost of $906.93. The truck would not roll forward on to the tow truck but would roll backward making it difficult to load on the tow truck. I went online and read many complaints about the same problem i am having. These complaints are not year specific and covered vehicles ranging from the late 90s and practically all 2000 model years. Some of the divers nearly had accidents.apparently dodge is well aware of this on going problem but refuses to make a recall. I think someone is eventually going to get hurt or killed. I for one am getting rid of it as soon as it is fixed. I don't feel safe driving it anymore. Some people have had repairs for this problem only to have it reoccur shortly after the repair.thank you for your time and assistance...updated 01/07/15 the pinion seal and axle sealwere replaced

I was on kingston pike hwy sitting at a red light in front of a gas station waiting for the light to turn red. When all of a sudden it felt as though someone hit me from the rear end, the motor shut off. The truck was in gear still, so i put in park and looked behind me. I noticed that nobody hit me. I then started the truck up an put in gear at first it did nothing then it moved so turned into the parking lot of the gas station. The truck came to a stop itself, but the motor was still running so i immediately shut it off. When i got out i looked under the truck seeing the drive shaft hanging down. I called progressive insurance for a tow. I had it towed to a mechanic shop, who looked at it the next day telling me that the pinion nut had came off and went back into the case. There was damage but that he put another nut on with some locktite, but he did not brake the differential down. I was told that it would need to be done to insure how much damage was done. So i took it to a 4x4 specialist who said he had heard of this before. That i am looking at about $1000 in repairs. I came back home and researched this problem notice several people with the same problem. Along with a recall on 2009 to 2012 year models for the same thing....updated 01/07/15 updated 05/29/2015

I noticed a whine when i let off the accelerator. When i was at a stop light i felt the rear end make a sound like it was going to lock up. I drove to a parking lot. I noticed fluid coming from the seal from the differential. I put the truck on a trailer and pulled it to my shop. When i removed the driveshaft i found the pinion nut had backed off. I researched and found this was a problem with other pick-ups. I contacted a dodge dealer and they denied any problems. I wanted to make sure dodge owners were aware of the problem.

My request for a complete and thorough re-investigation by nhtsa will follow this complaint.myself and 2 children almost died as a result of the power train failure of my 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4 hemi pickup. On sat morning 7-20-13 around 10:30 am traveling home from a baseball tournament, we were westbound on 80/90, mile marker 115, traveling around 70-72 mph near elkhart indiana. The rear pinion nut came loose, causing the pinion gear to fall into the rear differential, locking up the rear end, and throwing the drive shaft completely off my vehicle with no warning. We were in heavy traffic, there was a semi pulled over into the shoulder for a down tire, all the vehicles were merging over to give the semi room, when all of a sudden my vehicle made a loud noise (bang), andi lost immediate control of the vehicle. I fought to regain control of my truck, just missing being rear ended and broad- sided by several vehicles as well as wiping out vehicles to my right and behind me. I barely got some control as my vehicle was attempting to go sideways i was in fear we were going to roll at 50 mph right down the highway. I kept the vehicle from rolling somehow and came to a screeching stop barely off the roadway. My truck was smoking from everywhere and i could not see for what seemed like 2 minutes. As traffic lightened up and the 2 cars that also left the roadway to avoid a collision, got back under power and left, i found my drive shaft on the roadway completely off my vehicle. Once my mechanic was able to see the vehicle on monday and diagnose the issue. It was found then that the rear pinion nut came loose. It has cost me over 4500.00 so far between towing, rear end, drive shaft, front end, gas tank smashed and were not done. The trans also has issues now. This is the 2nd dodge vehicle my mechanic has seen this happen to. Please look at the recalls and complaints on here....updated 01/07/15

I was driving on the highway, slowing down to get off the exit, doing approximately 40-45 mph.i my passenger and i heard some strange noises in the rear and then suddenly the rear wheels locked up, causing the truck to bounce around violently. I bought the truck in december of 2016, this incident happened mid november 2017. Upon doing some research i found the recall, and followed up with some calls to dealers.this issue was supposedly resolved in march 2016 in plymouth, massachusetts, i purchased the vehicle in lewistown pennsylvania.my truck is currently sitting at a dealership where it has been since december 14, and they tell me it might not get in the shop until after the new year.i contacted dodge, they tell me they can not help me until after a diagnostic.i am reaching out to you in the event they deny my claim under the recall warranty.the shop manager at the local dealership tells me even with a diagnosis he can't say for certain the recall was repaired properly or not, which would leave me with a huge bill for something i believe is their fault for not using proper parts or not repairing the part properly under a recall warranty.
Started 2005 ram 1500 and went up slight incline (30 degree) over a speed bump on road and traveled approximately 50 feet and the truck would not move. Put on brake to stop going backwards down the incline. Put into reverse still would not move, tried all forward gears 1st, 2nd, drive still would not move. Went onto internet to search for any similar complaints and found that other owners had found the transmission filter becoming loose caused their problem. We changed the 2 filters in transmission and replaced 8 quarts of atf4+ fluid. The engine light came on when started, but truck did move after it warmed up several minutes. Engine light went out after a few start ups and trips, seems to work alright at present time.
Vehicle stalled once after reversing approximately 20 feet then going back into drive, immediate restart was possible (6/18/2012). The following day (6/19/2012) this truck stalled at a red light, again, immediate restart was possible. No other problems have been determined in the vehicle that would be responsible for stalling.

This truck had a p 77 recall done and suposedly was fixed in april 2016 and in sept 2018 i start hearing a noise in the rearend and found out these trucks have rearend issues so took it to findlay dodge in wilsonvilleoregon .they claimed problem nothing to do with recall fix , so i took the truck to another place to have fixed , which they then found out, that the pinion set was way too tight causing the bearing failure and metal in case.i paid to have rearend rebuilt.i feel this problem should havebeen fixed by the dealership/manufacturer and happened because the orgina recall and the fix was done wrong (too tight) causing the bearing failure.i have proof of findlay dodge paper work claims and of the place that actually fixed my truck with repair cost parts etc. Truck only has 57k miles.

My wife and child was driving my truck and the nut on the yoke on the rear end fell off. Which caused the read end to lock up and about cause a wreck. After talking to a few mechanics about fixing the problem. I found out this happens all the time with dodge trucks. After searching about the problem online, i found out they are right. A replacement rear end was very high priced due to the high demand for them. I searched for a recall and only found recalls for 2007 and newer trucks with this problem. How can they not fix this when it's obviously a problem and very possibly deadly?

I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 with a 4.7 liter v-8. The problem like many others have had is that the truck will rev up and down at idle and slow speed. After the truck stalled, almost getting me in a sever crash at an intersection while towing my boat, i took it to the dealer. They said the egr valve was bad and replaced it. This worked for about a year. Then about 2 weeks ago it started again and i took it to the dealer where they replaced some part on the computer and reprogrammed it, but this only worked for about 2 weeks and its back.

Just picked vehicle from dealership for rebuild of rear end from recall p77. Drove vehicle three miles and felt a vibration then saw large amount of smoke. Pulled over and saw what appeared was grease or oil leaking onto exhaust. Called dealership to inform something was wrong. Upon my return and delivering vehicle to service i was informed that the transfer case had exploded. Dealership claimed had nothing to do with recall, however i find several cases of this same issue occurring due to differential failure.
I have a 2005 dodge slt ram two wheel drive truck. 73,000 miles.i was traveling on a highway merging with another when the rearend cut loose. There is recall but the manufacturer declines to repair it because it doesn't have the fix. They want me to pay to repair it and submit receipts. If i am paying to repair with same faulty parts my expenses could grow out of sight. I was very lucky an accident didn't occur. They say parts made before aug 3/2005 are affected. I don't understand why parts made after 8/3/05 cannot be used. Also why should i pay anything. Im a working guy without that kind of disposable income. I was also told i wouldn't be reimbursed until the fix was available. Cannot get it in writing that i would be compensated in full. Please advise. I font have the vin #. My truck is at dave dennis dodge dayton ohio.i have read of this problem was known about some time ago.
The vehicle will intermittently stall when stopping or stopped at a traffic light or stop sign. It can be immediately restarted. It will also intermittently flash a check engine light with chime while driving down the road. This has been an ongoing problem since purchased in 2008. It happens with cold or warm engine. It may happen once a week, once a month, or several times in one day. Usually more frequently when the air temperature is below 65 degrees. There are no codes stored and no check engine light displayed (other than the intermittent light & chime).. The dealership says there are no tsb's covering my engine/transmission. There are hundred of similar complaints online with owners 4.7 engines in other dodge & jeep products. Many people have spent well over $1,000 on this problem and not solved it. We recently moved from a rural area to a large city. Dealing with this problem in heavy traffic is very stressful. We recently started transporting a baby in this vehicle and the impatience of other cars waiting for us to restart ours leads to other vehicles to take aggressive actions which will eventually lead to an accident.

Noticed some vibration from the rear end. We were traveling on us12 headed east. Traveling at 55 mph, started going into moscow mi. Started slowing to 35 mph, drive shaft came off we coasted the rest of the way to the center of the town. Called for a wrecker who tried to load our truck only to find the rear end had locked up. He had to go back and get a flat bed and dragged the truck on. Took us to a chrysler dealer [xxx] . Who never mentioned dodge was having an issue. We were very lucky the rear end did not lock up at 55 mph. Guess someone as looking out for us! the rear end had to be replaced, i still have a vibration i think the drive shaft is bent?cist $3148.90 to repair plus the wrecker and a three day stay at a motel waiting for a new rear end.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Receiving notifications from fiat chrysler automobiles about recalls r25 and p77. I originally brought the vehicle in to the dealership approx 3-4 months ago, ramsey, nj, chrysler jeep dodge. They stated they did not have parts. I called fca and they stated parts should be available in june. Called the same dealership on wed july 8th, they asked for recall notice info. Amazingly the vin was not enough. Amazingly they had no record of me being their previously for the recall and they said they are checking on the availability of parts. Note they have now changed the original recall id on p81/nhtsa 14v-817 to r25 / nhtsa 15v-313 on the air bag one. Since both of these are potentially life threatening i need to get this resolved.
The drive train fell off the rear differential while traveling 45 mph. Was able to negotiate a full stop but the drive shaft fell onto the street. Fortunately no other vehicles were involved. I contacted chrysler and they informed me that there are two recalls that should be looked at p77 and p81 and wanted the car toed to a chrysler dealer. Chrysler created a case # 26914713 and nancy (badge ng787) took my report. I paid to have the vehicle towed but i have not received any correspondence from chrysler on this case number or any remedy they paln. Please advise, as i understand this is a known issue.
On june 7 2014 we we're driving to a landscape business to purchase some landscape stones and about 100 feet before the entrance of the business my driveshaft fell off my truck causing my rear wheels to completely lock up and nearly causing a catastrophic head on collision after the northbound vehicle had to swerve to miss my truck and almost hit a southbound vehicle head on.i had the truck towed to a nearby auto facility where it was looked at and confirmed that my complete rear differential was completely destroyed causing my vehicle to a complete stop once the driveshaft fell off.it cost me nearly $2000 to get it repaired.i also contacted chrysler via email and explained to them what had happened and their response was that there was nothing they could do and i was out of warranty. The technician at the auto facility that repaired my truck told me that he remembered something about a recall for that on the dodge trucks. I then did some research and discovered that on the newer models there was a recall but not on mine but exactly what happened to the trucks on recall (rear end differential lockup) is what happened to mine. It could have very easily killed somebody if the southbound vehicle hadn't reacted so quickly. My truck only has 66000 miles on it which is an average of only about 6000 miles a year.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)....updated 01/07/15 updated 6/11/2015

This has happened several times. I will be driving the vehicle, and the rpms will drop too low (even when giving the truck gas) and suddenly the vehicle will stall. This has happened going 60 mph on the highway, during turns, and also when coming to a stop. The vehicle does restart immediately, though when i am driving i have to put it in neutral to restart it. I have almost been in accidents due to this issue. I had the fuel intake cleaned thinking that might be the issue.

While traveling around 45mph with children in the car, i noticed a whining noise immediately before i heard the tires chirping as they intermittently began to lock up.iwas able to get to my destination and noticed there was gear lube sprayed all over the underside.the pinion shaft was detached from the rear differential.truck was completely inoperable, had to be towed by flatbed as rear end was locked.spent almost $2000 in repairs.spoke to dodge 12/21/14 as i'm now reading information that 2005 dodge rams are being recalled for this exact problem and have been told it is the 2008 model and my truck is "fine".will be following up with a supervisor.
Driving on the highway and the rear axle locked up which caused us to skid sideways off the road. Had to be towed. Also caused bald spots on both rear tires due to skidding several feet.
I own a 2005 dodge ram 1500 and i was traveling on the local highway at approximately 45mph when with no warning or strange sound my drive shaft dislocated from my rear end and my back tires began to lock up. I manage to pull over to the shoulder of the road with out losing control to bad. The experience was like the whole front end of my truck nose dived and there was terrible banging and vibrations coming from the rear of my truck. My friend that came with a roll back to tow my truck home is also a mechanic told me the pinion failed and that i was going to just have to replace the rear end. I tried to just remove my rear drive shaft and place the truck in 4x4 to have the front wheels pull the truck home but the rear tires would not turn. I take care of my vehicles and i have never had a issue out of my truck until now. For there to be no warning signs what so ever leads me to believe that there is a manufacturer flaw. While looking for replacement parts on edmuns.com i discovered an article dated 06/30/2014 titled feds probe 2005 dodge ram 1500 after complaints of rear differential failures that describes exactly what happened to me.

On june 7 2014 we we're driving to a landscape business to buy some landscape stones. About 100 feet before the entrance to the business i heard a noise coming from the rear of my truck and as i was turning into the entrance approach of the business my driveshaft fell off truck completely locking up my rear wheels and completely stopping my vehicle which almost caused a catastrophic head on collision.my truck was blocking part of the road and the northbound vehicle had to at the last minute swerve into the southbound lane to prevent from hitting my truck at approximately 45 mph and just missed hitting a southbound vehicle head on. Somebody immediately stopped and threw my driveshaft into the bed of my truck and told me to engage the 4 wheel drive and hit the gas barely moving my truck because the rear wheels didn't turn. I then had to have the truck towed to a nearby auto facility. They called me the next day with a diagnosis of what happened and an estimate.they told me that rear end differential completely locked up preventing my rear tires from not turning at all. It ended up costing me almost $2000. The automotive technician told me to check and see if there are any recalls for this because he thought that he had read something about rear end differential lockups on dodge rams.so i did some research and did find that there were certain years that did have recalls but not for the 2005. I did at that time contact chrysler via email and explained what had happened and their response was that i was out of warranty.my truck has only 66000 miles on it which is an average of about 6500 miles a year which is extremely low for a almost 10 year old vehicle.

I started to get a rough idle condition on my dodge ram 1500 quad cab with the 5.7 hemi motor and auto trans.now intermittently over the past several month the truck stalls when going from reverse to drive...though not that dangerous an inconvenience.the dangerous part is when i sometimes pull into traffic the truck will start forward as it should then the motor will just die causing loss of brake and steering functions.i am getting no engine codes or check engine light.i have even hooked the truck up to a computer with no codes detected.recently i went to pull into traffic onto a road that was 35mph and the motor again died.luckily the driver heading toward my driver side door slammed on their brakes and allowed me to put the truck in neutral restart it and get it out of the other vehicle's lane of travel.the throttle body has been cleaned the spark plugs have been changed with no luck and the problem persists.this is a link to just (1) website of many that i found that shows this is clearly not isolated to my vehicle.http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/ram_1500/2005/engine/engine_stalls.shtmli cannot even begin to diagnose this problem because it is so sporadic with no engine lights or codes it would probably cost a small fortune for a dealer to diagnose this issue because of the amount of time in between the stall conditions.

While driving home from the mayo clinic from a heart dr. Appt. I felt a strange motion in the truck and went to pull over on the interstate when the differential locked up causing the truck to skid to a stop. Had it towed to a dodge dealer where i could get it repaired. First it was $1700 to put in a junkyard rear,then it was $2350 and $2450 if i wanted a rebuilt .i then received a call it would be another $600 because the brakes locked up with the rear end.the truck was a year past warranty but only had 50000 miles on it. Called chrysler and they said there was nothing they would do because the garage used napa parts.

2005 ram 1500 only has 57,000 miles on it, several issues: 1) loud whining noise, sounds like really loud power steering whine but power steering is ok. Started last winter when we had extremely cold temperatures. Now it is extremely loud all of the time. After hearing announcement of recall and reading other owner complaints of locking up while driving i am concerned of my safety. 2) i have had trouble with the right rear wheel feeling like it locks up when turning right especially when road is wet. 3) 4-wheel drive is impossible to use. After a short period of time it starts making a whining sound then locks up when trying to drive in reverse. Feels like tension of a rubberband that has twisted as far as it will go.4) also, having problem of truck stalling when putting it in reverse. Always starts up again but can be dangerous if you are backing out onto a busy street. Dealership has resealed drive pinion 3 times! don't know if all 4 are related but i sure would like to have a professional look it over. My local chrysler/dodge dealership's service department has really gone downhill.
While driving my truck, i heard a whining noise coming from the rear, and then i felt my drive shaft disengage from the differential (rear axle pinion nut recall p77/nhtsa 14v-796) and drop to the street.currently, there is no permanent remedy for this condition.the dealer (cumerland auto center, cookeville, tn) could repair the vehicle, but the same thing could happen again, and i would have to pay for the repairs twice (once without remedy and once with remedy) and get reimbursed later by fca customer assistance, washington, dc.i only have one other vehicle in my family to use, and the recall doesn't pay for a rental.my vehicle also requires repair for p81 (air bags).
I was driving along in my dodge 1500 quad cab that i purchased this past january in 2015 when the rear end of the vehicle locked up on me it slid for approximately 50 ft. When the drive shaft broke loose and folded in half and i ran it over which propelled me into the ditch i contacted the dodge dealership and had the vehicle towed to advantge dodge in mt. Dora where at first they tried to deny that it had anything to do with the recall p77 until they confirmed that the pinion nut came looseand that is what caused the incident.

I was driving down the road and the lsd rear differential of my 2005 dodge ram 1500 completely locked up and the drive line separated from the rear differential.the shop that fixed it said that a retaining clip must have come loose and destroyed the entire rear differential.good thing i was only going about 25 mph in a residential neighborhood and not 75mph on the freeway, or the outcome could have been life threatening.

While driving the vehicle came to a complete stop. It felt like someone had hit me from the back. When i got off to look i saw that no one had crashed into me. A bystander says that my drive shaft is on the floor. Had to call a tow truck to take home. Went to a dodge dealer about the issue and stated that there was a recall on it. He said that the vehicle was taken to dealership 5 years ago. The problem was previously fixed. They can't do anything about it. I looked up some information and found that this has happened again to other drivers. All owners stated that issues were never resolved. My dad owns a 1999 dodge 1500 and the drive shaft has never fallen off.

Last saturday on june 28 2014 i was leaving my residence when i observed a small leak dripping out of my rear differential where the pinion gear goes into the differential. I ordered a pinion seal at my local auto parts store. On my way to the parts store i noticed a very faint whine coming from the rear end. About 1 to 2 miles after the whine was first noticed it quickly became a roar for no more than 20 seconds and then the pinion gear snapped at the differential locking both my rear tires up sending my truck sideways. With my son in the back seat it was a very frightening experience for a 2 year old. I couldn't move the truck out of the middle of the street so i sat helplessly and waited for a tow truck. The next day i looked underneath the truck and realized that along with my rear end being toasted so was my drive shaft which had damage from spinning freely. Then i observed my gas tank with a dent so big i have no choice but to purchase a new tank. So far i have been quoted for a used rear differential at several salvage yards from 800-1400. It's ridiculous that this problem continues with dodge trucks and nothing is being done about it. Is it going to take someone loosing there life because negligence from dodge to get these problems fixed and hold dodge accountable!!!!

After having been stopped at a stop sign, i made a right turn and accelerated to proceed straight for approximately 300 feet or so where i was going to make a left hand turn into a store parking lot. All of a sudden there was a whining sound and it felt like the engine was straining, there was a loud bang and thud as if i had run something over. The truck started "jerking" violently and came to an abrupt stop. As soon as i put the car in park, the loud noise stopped and the engine was idling normally as if there was no problem. I exited the vehicle and, to my shock, saw the drive shaft detached from the rear differential (the truck is a rear wheel drive) and laying on the street. Later on, with the key in the on position but the engine off, i put the car in neutral and some road workers tried to push it off the road. It would not budge. The rear wheels were locked. Suffice it to say, had i been traveling on the highway at 55-60 mph the results of the malfunction could have been disastrous.

Dealer advises that chrysler is declining to perform p77 recall, citing lack of availability of parts.chrysler has made a verbal offer to purchase this vehicle which is less than my assessment of the vehicles worth.they have now told me that i must come and collect my truck from the dealership (after them having the vehicle from 12/31) today and they are declining to perform the recall service.
My truck started shaking aggressively 3-4 year ago at speeds around 50 mph and over , i tried new tires and that did not work. After receiving my second recall i took my truck to bill stanford dodge-chrysler here in talladega al to have it fixed with the recall. They admitted the pinion nut was loose and they said they tightened it and that i needed new tires on the rear and that should fix it , the tire dealer said i did not need new rear tires that i should have several years left on them but i told him what bill stanford said so he put new tires on the back but that had no affect on the vibrating and shaking of the truck.now i receive another recall stating " the lack of this adhesive patch could allow the rear axle pinion nut to loosen and/or the rear drive shaft to separate from the rear axle , going on to state this could cause a crash without warning or the real axle to seize and separate the drive shaft causing a loss of motive power.i have a good truck except for the rear end which shakes and vibrates aggressively but i can get no help from the local dealer here in talladega al.all i am asking is that they fix it to its original state and live up to the safety recall.i can not afford a new vehicle and do not want to sue or seek punitive damages , i would just like my truck to be fixed in an honest fashion.thank you for any help .

While driving on interstate 195 i entered exit lane 28a and without warning at 60mph my rear tires locked up, the driveshaft disconnected from rear and my truck went into an uncontrolled spin. It was 5 seconds of terror that i thought would surely end in disaster. I stopped dangerously blocking the exit ramp and had to risk my life to pull the shaft out of the front switch to four wheel drive and drag my truck onto the shoulder as cars sped around me. I have a 9.25" rear with a 3.92 ratio and the pinion nut came off lodged in the shaft as the pinion gear jammed up the rear axles. Sound familiar? help!! i was told by chrysler there are no issues with my model year truck but i see a number of complaints like this one. I was lucky that i wasn't killed. Hopefully chrysler fixes this fault before someone isn't so lucky.

At approximately 35 mph my driveline dislodged from my rear differential and locked up the wheels (differential.). The road was a popular well maintained paved road. Fortunately no cars or pedestrians were close by and speed was relatively low, otherwise this could have ended with serious injury or fatality.in addition to the recent incidentwith the differential, i have experienced other issues with this ram:-new engine after cracking both heads while driving down the freeway (it gets serviced regularly and doesn't tow often).-idle has sudden surges at a stop.-transmission skipping gears.

While driving the truck on the highway doing about 45-50mph with my 6 month old baby in the truck, the rear wheels locked up and sent the driveshaft flying out from under the truck, the truck then fishtailed into the woods. The truck was towed to a mechanic shop, where i was told the pinion nut came off the rear differential which caused the rear wheels to lock up. This also wiped out the rear gears, carrier and driveshaft.my extended warranty plan would not cover the repairs because it was an external part on the rear differential that came loose causing the damage. The repairs cost me over $1,000.

My dodge ram 1500 has a known recall p77 on the rear pinion nut that the technician at the dealership said was faulty on my vehicle and that parts would be ordered to resolve the defect.i was later notified by the dealership that the parts were now available and to bring the vehicle in for repair.when the vehicle was brought into the dealership for repair i was told that the repair had already been completed and they would not do the repair as the technician had told me was needed in accordance with the recall.this a matter of a dealership not fixing a known problem not a specific incident of a vehicle accident.there is already an existing recall that is not being honored.
My 2005 dodge ram has been stalling on the freeway when slowing down in traffic and when coming to stops at intersections. It has been doing this for years. I have had engine lights come on and had mechanics work on it. This problem continues and is very scary. I can not trust to take it on long trips.after goggling on the internet i found that most dodges have this problem. I will use social media to let my family and friends know that dodge is not the truck to buy. I can not believe they are not recalling this issue in their trucks some thing needs to be done to correct this issue. Starter will go out if this continues also putting in neutral will not do the transmission any good,it feels like it is messing up now.

My truck was subjected to recall p77 which is the pinion nut recall. I received this notice approximately a week before the incident. I exited the highway (speed limit is 70mph) traveled about 5 miles when i came to a stop sign it felt like the transmission fell out of the truck. I proceeded to go and traveled about 1/2 mile at 25mph when the pinion nut came loose causing the rear end to lock up and fish tail. Fortunately nobody was injured but scary non the less. It could have happened at highway speeds! chrysler paid for all of the necessary repairs which included a complete housing and complete carrier including ring and pinion. What chrysler didn't pay for was a rental car. I could understand if i took the vehicle to be repaired on my own, but i didn't. There was a catastrophic failure do to their negligence and i feel that they should be responsible for the rental as well.

I am the original owner of a 2005 dodge ram 1500, and have always kept my truck in excellent physical and mechanical condition, and there are no incomplete or unperformed recalls on this vehicle.there were no indications of any kind of mechanical issues with this truck until sunday, 6/22/14, approx. 6pm. I was driving at approx. 35-40 mph along a local street, approaching an intersection, when it sounded like a blowout, but the truck continued to drive into an intersection. This was followed by whining and banging sounds, which as it turns out, was a the drive shaft tearing up the underside of my truck. ,,i made it thru the intersection, and part-way into a parking lot driveway, when the 2 pieces of my driveshaft flew off and the entire back end locked up, with my truck blocking traffic. I am disabled, and was fortunately not injured, and no one was hit by the flying pieces of the drive shaft as they flew out. The truck was inspected by a geico adjuster, who indicated he was well trained with truck parts and mechanical, and that one of the pins had backed out of the 2005 dodge ram 1500 drive shaft into the rear differential, causing spider gears to lock up and the driveshaft to tear away from the rear axle. I have a copy of the geico report.the adjusters assessment was confirmed also by the repair center, who mentioned that they had seen this same issue before.this is an extremely hazardous mechanical failure; the vehicle appears to keep running, but the driver and passengers are in a vehicle that ultimately cannot be controlled, and the drive shaft comes into 2 pieces and flies out, potentially injuring by-standers and other property....updated 01/07/15 updated 08/23/2017*ct

This has happened so many times while slowing down or stopping that i no longer can keep count.it has also happened when making a turn which caused all loss of power steering & power brakes.so far i have not wrecked when this happens but it scares me or my teenage driver to death.i have reported it several times over several years & nothing is being done.i also know this happens with the 2004 model of dodge trucks as my nephew own one that i have drove & it happened the only difference in trucks is his 04 has the hemi. And this only happens when the air conditioning is on.i guess someone is going to have to wreck & die before dodge recalls & fixes the problem.but until then i will keep reporting here & to dodge.

At 35 mph truck made a thud noise and the rear axle locked up and the truck skid to a stop in the middle of the road. Got out and found the drive-line hanging down and fluid coming out of the pinion area. Tow truck was called and had to skate onto the truck as the rear axle would not move.

Dt*:the contact stated after the vehicle was driven, parked, and then restarted, the transmission felt as though it was dragging.the problem was intermittent and occurred every month and a half.the dealership was unable to determine a problem, but replaced the solenoid in an attempt to repair.the problem persists.
Since day one of purchasing the vehicle in sept. 2005, i have had a problem with it stalling or lunging forward when shifting (automatic) into drive.it has been to the dealership on at least 3 occasions, 1 with me duplicating the problem.they are unable to fix the problem and do not seem concerned with getting it fixed.
During cold weather, you can put the vehicle in reverse and it will not move at all, to get it to move you have to put the vehicle back in park and then in reverse and sort of wiggle the shifting lever. Also during in cold weather the vehicle when in drive wants to take off by itself and you have to press the brake pedal down hard to keep it from taking off into traffic.

After my truck was sitting without starting for a couple of days, it would not go into reverse.i would hit the accelerator and the truck would not move.after a while, it would start to sift into gear with a very loud noise.i also noticed, that when i was coming to a stop, but didn't completely stop, the transmission would hit very hard upon acceleration.i have taken it to the shop three times.the first time i was told that since there was no code, that it was fine.i stated that if it was a mechanical issue, that you may not get a code.for instance, if you lose a tire on the road.the second time, they adjusted the electronic shifter, but it didn't help. The third time, they changed the filter, but only put silicone on the pan with no gasket.i was told that the tranny had a problem with the filter allowing the torque converter to back bleed and that they put in a filter with a check valve to fix the problem. I now have more power, but i am still getting some hard shifting when i slow down and then speed up.the problem started at 20,000 miles.
Driving south on icy and snowpack highway. Oncoming car spun into my lane. Braked hard, moved right, oncoming car spun back towards their lane, continued past car. Watched the car and it didn't hit anything. I accelerated but had no throttle response. Engine had died. The engine has never done this. Put in neutral, started engine, put in drive, accelerated and drove fine. I was going 55 to 60 mph. In drive and 4 wheel drive engaged. The pickup has an automatic transmission. I think it was in lockup and when i slammed on the brakes the lock up converter did not have time to disengage when the tires stopped when i braked. The pickup does not have all wheel anti lock brakes. It does have rear wheel anti-lock brakes. The tires are studded snow tires. I think the roads were slick enough to stop the wheels when braking hard. With all 4 wheels stopped, the torque converter in lock up it would act like a standard transmission and kill the engine. The only way that would have been a problem is if i had to go in the ditch to avoid the oncoming car. In that situation, deep snow in the ditch plus the plow berm, i would have had to accelerate to get through it and keep the pickup from going side ways and possibly rolling. Have you had any other complaints like this. If you have any questions please call. Thanks,
Engine stalls when braking. Happens frequently when turning corners, due to slowing. Has been happening for several months. Now transmission does not always respond or shifts hard. I have even had to shift on the column.

I am the original owner of a 2005 dodge ram 1500, and have always kept my truck in excellent physical and mechanical condition, and there are no incomplete or unperformed recalls on this vehicle.there were no indications of any kind of mechanical issues with this truck until sunday, 6/22/14, approx. 6pm. I was driving at approx. 35-40 mph along a local street, approaching an intersection, when it sounded like a blowout, but the truck continued to drive into an intersection. This was followed by whining and banging sounds, which as it turns out, was a the drive shaft tearing up the underside of my truck. ,,i made it thru the intersection, and part-way into a parking lot driveway, when the 2 pieces of my driveshaft flew off and the entire back end locked up, with my truck blocking traffic. I am disabled, and was fortunately not injured, and no one was hit by the flying pieces of the drive shaft as they flew out. The truck was inspected by a geico adjuster, who indicated he was well trained with truck parts and mechanical, and that one of the pins had backed out of the 2005 dodge ram 1500 drive shaft into the rear differential, causing spider gears to lock up and the driveshaft to tear away from the rear axle. I have a copy of the geico report.the adjusters assessment was confirmed also by the repair center, who mentioned that they had seen this same issue before.this is an extremely hazardous mechanical failure; the vehicle appears to keep running, but the driver and passengers are in a vehicle that ultimately cannot be controlled, and the drive shaft comes into 2 pieces and flies out, potentially injuring by-standers and other property....updated 01/07/15 updated 08/23/2017*ct

The failure was not repaired. The failure mileage was 160,000.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500.while driving 35 mph, the rear driveshaft became detached from the vehicle without warning.the vehicle was towed to a private mechanic, who stated that the driveshaft and rear end needed to be replaced.the vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified.the failure mileage was 1,020.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving at various speeds, while letting go of the steering wheel, the vehicle drifted quickly from side to side.additionally, there was a noise coming from the right front wheel well and the noise was more pronounced while driving across rough road conditions.also, while placing the vehicle in reverse, there was a loud vibration from the driveshaft.the vehicle was seen by a dealer for the steering and driveshaft.the dealer performed a wheel alignment to correct the steering problem, but was unable to determine the cause of the vibration.the vehicle is currently at the dealership for further inspection.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the rear wheels seized and the drive shaft detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.the vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
My transmission suddenly failed (42k) without any warning whatsoever (present or past) while driving along a very busy highway. The vehicle started to suddenly & rapidly slow down and began to surge (rapidly speed up and slow down). The vehicles behind me were forced to suddenly brake; many quickly changed lanes to avoid a collision. I requested assistance with the cost of the repair from dodge via the service manager.the service manager contacted the district representative, dan lewendowski, who refused to assist me with the expense.i had the vehicle towed to a notable transmission shop for repair. Upon inspecting the transmission, the transmission shop owner insisted that the transmission failed for some other reason than non-maintenance. He told me that the fluid does not lose it's lubrication at 42,000 miles. This was not the first dodge ram he has serviced with a transmission problem. In fact, he had another dodge ram in the shop the same day with the same problem (the "soft parts" in the transmission had failed). The tranmission shop owner told me that dodge has had a tremendous amount of transmission problems and recommended that i take this matter further.i have been researching this matter on the internet and have located several websites related to the failure of dodge transmissions. I am requesting a reimbursement of $1,900 from dodge for the repair of my transmission. I would also like nhsta to look into this matter further to see if a recall is warranted since this appears to be a known and wide spread problem. I have the damaged/replaced parts in my possession should you wish to inspect them.
Driving down interstate towing lightweight enclosed trailer.saw smoke and oil coming from the rear end.rear differential locked up, causing all 4 wheels to lock up.drive line came completely detached and flew across highway.transfer case cracked in half.truck and trailer skidded to a stop on side of highway, after crossing additional lanes of traffic.no injuries and missed guard rail by a few feet.
The passenger seat belt will not pull out rendering it inoperable. Repair facility confirms it no longer works and is unsafe.
In a 2005 dodge ram quad cab pickup the rear over-the-shoulder seatbelts are defective. The right rear buckle broke and i had it replaced under warranty thinking nothing of it. It was replaced in april or may this year. I have a child seat in the center rear seat, using the seatbelt as the restraint. Upon braking to avoid colliding with another driver who cuts me off, i heard the sounds of cracking and breaking of plastic. I didn't notice anything until later when i noticed the child seat a little loose. After further examination, the plastic on the lap belt buckle was shattered. I tried tightening it up but it will not completely tighten like it should. This happened later last month for the third time, this time to the left rear when a passenger just went to re-position herself. She was only 80 some pounds!! the consequences are as follows: the brittle hard plastic piece on the buckle prevents the lap section to tighten correctly. Unless the whole seat belt assembly is replaced, just to fix a broken piece of brittle plastic, the seatbelt is useless. A passenger could easily slide out from under the belt in a frontal impact collision. What was done: i attempted to contact the chrysler corporation in detroit. A customer rep stated he would contact my local dealership to recommend not charging labor fees just to "diagnose" the problem when it is obviously broken, and the dealer was to contact me in return with an appointment. That never happened. I needed the documents from the dealership to fax to chrysler to request for reimbursement of the replacement costs. I am looking out for everyone else out there with the same problem. I still have the 2 remainder broken belts installed. It is evident that chrysler obviously realized the problem. I purchased a brand new jeep wrangler 4-door. All six seatbelts are made of the same durable rubbery substance that the ones in the front seat of my dodge ram are made of. This is the way they all should be.
Involved in low speed crash. Airbag did not deploy. Lap/shoulder harness didn't restrain me. Suffered fracture nose..hematoma of eye...truck suffered a lot of front end damage.
Middle and passenger seat belts both broke and the driver seat no longer stays locked in posistion besides the 3 recalls for airbags and rear axle
2005 dodge ram 1500 truck 4x2 quad, was in motion at posted highway speed, with minimal wind present.as an eyewitness & owner of the vehicle, the driver suddenly lost control of the vehicle, rolling the truck 4 -5 times before landing on its top (upside down). Damage throughout was severe and extensive. No airbags deployed and both occupants were wearing their safety belts. Front passenger head rest ripped away from seat and was found about 100 yards away from accident scene, stuck in a bush. Right rear tire (passenger side), snapped off and broke away from the rear axel. Tire was found more than 100 yards away from the totaled vehicle & tire was not blown out. Concerns about 2 safety recalls on this vehicle is the reason for submitting complaint: recall involving a problem/defect with the air bag deployment, and recall concerning a rear axel pion nut coming loose while in motion & causing rear wheel to completely break away from vehicle.defect could suddenly cause driver to lose complete control, causing vehicle to crash and/or violently rollover. This vehicle was serviced for both recalls, twice.however, in this rollover crash that occurred, the rear wheel with brake system still attached, completely snapped off the rear axel.also, the insurance company did an estimate to repair vehicle, but did not include or mention a repair charge for the right rear wheel or the rear axel.the tail gate was also ripped off of the truck and was found about 75 yards away from the totaled vehicle.no fatalities resulted from this horrific crash, but my son who was the passenger, did suffer serious and permanent injuries, which include a head injury (tbi), multiple fractures to his ctl-spine, injured right foot, leg and hip, and abrasions and deep scrapes throughout his body.the driver, my sons girlfriend, suffered scrapes and bruising, but no serious injury.

The driver's seat track failed in my 2005 dodge ram.my truck had just over 12,000 miles and was still in new condition and has never been abused.the i have the upgraded fully adjustable seat in my new truck.once the seat track failed the seat had around six inches of free-play forward and back.i would apply the brakes and the seat would lunge forward toward the dash.as i would accelerate the seat would lunge backward.i refused to drive the vehicle until it was repaired as i didn't feel safe driving it.the dealer replaced the seat track for me since it was under warranty.the technicians working on my truck said that they were concerned for my safety with this seat track.they suggested that i would surely break at least my legs in an accident.i would think that this type of thing would void any crash test data.my new seat still had some play but the dealer assured me that it would be fine.i am still worried.
The driver's seat track in my 2005 dodge ram failed.this time my truck had just over 30,000 miles on it and the seat track failed again.it previously failed at about 12,000 miles.since all of the dodge dealers that were close to me were closed i had to drive my unsafe vehicle a little over an hour away to get it looked at.once again the seat was lunging forward and back with acceleration and deceleration.the dealer determined that the adjustment screw on the seat track had fatigued, stretched and failed.though my truck is in immaculate condition, incredibly low miles and the fact that the dealer admitted that the part was faulty i was still informed that the bill would be around $680 to make my truck safe once again.after having the new seat track installed i noticed nearly 1/4" of free-play in the new seat assembly.i notified the dealer and he informed me that i was just being stupid.he told me that all of these seats have a good amount of play and that i should just make sure to bring it in when it fails again.he was sure that it would fail again but was unsympathetic to my desire for safety for me and my family.i contacted dodge directly about the issue and they basically blew me off.i now have a few thousand more miles on my new seat track and the seat is beginning to really loosen up again.i am very concerned that my seat could be thrown through my windshield with me still seat-belted into it.i have similar seats in other vehicles of other makes and they have never given me any problems in over 200,000 miles.i am very concerned for my families safety and am feeling very impotent.i asked a manager at dodge if they thought that my being paralyzed was acceptable and i was informed that there has to be some type of injury before they will consider doing anything.i do not think that this is acceptable.i would feel terrible selling the truck to someone else who could be injured in it.i don't know what else to do.please help me.

The frame on my dodge ram has broken welds on both sides of the frame where the lower control arms mount to the frame. They have failed due to manufacturing defects during the welding process. The truck has never been wrecked, driven off road, or done any towing. Dodge refuses any assistance in replacing the frame because it has aged out of their warranty. The truck has 74,138 miles on it and isnot drivable without a new frame. I had the truck in twice under warranty service for drivability issues under braking and steering over bumps. Neither time were the cracks in the frame found or addressed. Every time the brakes are applied, the steering wheel shakes uncontrollably and is unsafe to drive. I found the damage while changing the oil and was about to replace the frt hub bearing assembly on the passenger side since the driver's side had already failed and had been replaced earlier. Contacted chrysler and was told that my truck had aged out of warranty, but that taking it to a dealer they would be able to find a technical service bulletin that may cover it. I googled tsb's and found one on the 2006 dodge ram frames for the exact same area affected on my truck, but dodge still won't address this issue. I've been dealing with this for over six months and want my truck fixed or replaced.
I purchased my 2005 dodge ram used in 2010 with 74,000 miles. Shortly after i purchased it the truck would die when coming to a stop, no power steering, no power brakes. Well i took it to 3 different dealerships to try and get an explanation after i replaced the iac valve and cleaned every piece of the induction system including all sensors and the throttle body. I reset the ecu and started the truck and let it warm-up for 10 minutes before my test drive. This fixed the problem for 2 days then the rough idle started again and it died at the top of the street. I have been dealing with this issue for 3 years now and someone needs to be held accountable i have had 3 different dealerships look into the problem and i have tried to work it out through private mechanics. In my search for a resolution i have a documented expense well over $1937 and i still have to live with the stress of knowing my truck could die causing a serious accident. At this point i am considering selling the truck for lack of an affordable remedy. Upon researching my problem i have found hundreds of similar stories from people having the same issues as i am, please help us resolve this issue and hold the manufacturer responsible for a potentially fatal engineering flaw!
We dont use the four wheel drive very often. There was a heavy snowfall the other day. I put the transmision in neuteral tried to put the four wheel drive shifter into four wheel drive and the four wheel drive shifter came loose. And the antilock brake lights on the dashboard came on and i had to give a lot of extra braking time. It is in the shop at this time. But i almost ran into someone. I missed them by only a few feet
While driving home from the mayo clinic from a heart dr. Appt. I felt a strange motion in the truck and went to pull over on the interstate when the differential locked up causing the truck to skid to a stop. Had it towed to a dodge dealer where i could get it repaired. First it was $1700 to put in a junkyard rear,then it was $2350 and $2450 if i wanted a rebuilt .i then received a call it would be another $600 because the brakes locked up with the rear end.the truck was a year past warranty but only had 50000 miles on it. Called chrysler and they said there was nothing they would do because the garage used napa parts.
This is an ongoing and old problem with this vehicle. When attaining minimum speeds of 40 or 45mph, applying the brakes causes a vehicle shudder. Its almost like the vehicle is hopping. It causes operator to bounce in seat and is a safety issue as to control. Researching problem online i have discovered other complaints. Replacing brake pads and rotors solves the problem only temporarily. Having brakes checked at mechanic during this issue failed to find fault, and indicated ample thickness on brake shoes. Issue has caused a great vehicle maintenance expense due to frequent brake replacements.
Another vehicle cut in front and braked for red light causing me to "lock up" the brakes. The truck has rear abs which kept the rear wheels from "locking up". Vehicle accelerated during heavy braking which caused the collision. About 50 feet of brake marks were left on the road surface from the front tires.in a separate incident, a vehicle suddenly merged from left side of road causing me to swerve to the soft shoulder on the right. Truck had come to a complete stop when the right rear wheel started to spin. It spun for about 10 seconds before it stopped. Tire dug into the soft shoulder and left a spray of dirt behind the truck..have been searching for a facility to test the braking system. It appears related to the stalling while stopping problem.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. When releasing the emergency brake, the latch detached. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the latch was replaced; however, the failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
1st incident 2/21/13: driving on a 4 lane highway w/center left turn lanes at 40 when a car cut across from the right to make a left turn. Hit the brakes causing the front to lock up (rear abs only). Truck started stopping, but continued moving forward against the front brakes and into the car. Truck left unusually long skid marks. Police and insurance reports made. Damaged to front bumper.2nd incident 3/5/13: driving at 40 on curved section of highway with 2 lanes in direction i was going and 1 lane on opposite side separated by large grass medium when a car pulled out from the left hand u-turn in the medium. Hit the brakes causing the truck to slide straight through curve onto grass shoulder. Truck came to complete stop and heard the right rear spinning in the dirt. Put my left foot on the brake to hold truck from moving. I checked to make sure i was not on the gas. It spun for several seconds before stopping. Truck left normal length of skid marks. Did not smell burnt brakes in rear; possibly not engaged at all.i am currently looking to see if i can test the braking at a local dirt track to verify this issue, and to have outside observation of the occurrence. I have replaced all four disk brakes with high performance brake rotors and brake pads to assist with better braking in the last week. I will post the results here once i can arrange the test.have not had any problems with normal or heavy braking; only emergency braking.first incident resulted in an accident, luckily no injuries. The drive wheel was in the dirt for second incident; there was not an accident.this is a very serious safety issue, and may be the cause of other accidents and not reported because driver could not realize it happened. It appears to be the problem where the abs system causes excessive heat build up resulting in computer malfunction.
I have replaced brake booster, brake pads, and master cylinder and brake booster and master cylinder has been replaced twice by a local garage. And still i have to pump the brakes and pray i stop.
Getting off the off ramp i could not stop in a second vibrations started another car in that car went to another car with a pregnant girl...... I have asked over and over for help and costs are killing my business and had brake problems etc. You guys please help me here...?
The truck is falling apart.the welds are coming apart & the whole body is rotting faster than i can fix it.i will not be able to get another inspection sticker.i have replaced the transfer case, water pump, serpentine belt & pulleys, rear drive shaft, upper & lower ball joints, tyrods and the whole brake system. The truck needs to be recalled.
The front brake will lock up on one side causing the rotor , caliper hub and wheel to become so hot it starts smoking . After it cools of it will release the locked up caliper and become drivable again. This will be fine for a while and then the other side will do the same thing.. This has to be very dangerous overheating all the front end components to these very high temperatures . There have been others with this problem on a forum ( vtcoa.com )i am a member of . There needs to be a dodge recall on all the effected overheating parts before it causes a major accident if it hasn't already. The other problem is the power steering hoses keep leaking or blowing out . This is another real hazard to safety . Have you ever tried to steer a 3 ton truck with no power assist , not easy by any means . These two things are an accident waiting to happen and should be corrected by dodge before someone gets killed.
Abs sensor comes on over 55mph. Exterior lighting keeps blowing bulbs and sometimes the tail lights completely shut off, sometimes brake lights inoperable. Windshield wipers work when they want to or only at the highest frequency. All occurs while vechicle is being driven in city street conditions other than on highway when i have to go above 55mph
I am writing to warn you of a very dangerous problem with your remanufactured brake caliper part # le5383 purchased from a napa parts dealer in ann arbor, mi by main street motors. I had two of these calipers installed on my 2005 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck at main street motors on may 18, 2016. The left front caliper failed immediately, within the first couple of times i applied the brakes. I was able to get it back to main street motors before running out of brake fluid and crashing, luckily.

I was pulling away from a drive up window and the truck died. Lost power steering and brakes. This is not the first time this has happened and luckily i have not been driving fast when it has happened.
Engine stalled without warning while traveling at slow speeds causing loss of brakes and steering control.this has happened numerous times while both traveling straight and turning.it has been a very dangerous issue to deal with.
Since i first bought this truck in 2005 its had a pretty serious problem with stalling out when coming to a stop, and even worse, sometimes mid turn while moving. This is a very dangerous issue since loss of control is eminent in this type of incident. Along with this stalling out, the truck has a rough idle/surging idle issue when at a stop. Ive tried all types of repairs, and spent alot of money trying to fix this issue with no avail. I took it into dodge after i first bought the truck and they said they could not recreatethe problem and everything was fine. I took it in again and they cleaned the throttle body. Still same issue. Now ive replaced, out of my own pocket, the egr valve, throttle body itself, evap purge valve, and have tried a list of other remedies. Still not fixed. After a quick search of many different dodge ram club online forums this is a very very very common issue with these trucks, and all of us owners are fed up. Dodge wont take responsibility for this serious issue, and unfortunately people may die because of this. Please help us!
When i slow down it just stalls out on me . Its always restart.
I was driving my 05 dodge ram 1500 4x4 traveling on the interstate doing 55 mph when i heard a whining noise that grew real loud. As i attempted to pull over to the median the truck locked up and skidded to a stop just missing the guard rail. I got out and looked under my truck and saw the drive shaft had broken off from the rear end/differential and oil was pouring out the differential casing from the exposed hole where the drive shaft had been attached. If this had happened on the drive lanes i think there would have been a collision with other vehicles that may have been behind me. I had it towed to the repair shop that had repaired the rear end in 2010 at a cost of $906.93. The truck would not roll forward on to the tow truck but would roll backward making it difficult to load on the tow truck. I went online and read many complaints about the same problem i am having. These complaints are not year specific and covered vehicles ranging from the late 90s and practically all 2000 model years. Some of the divers nearly had accidents.apparently dodge is well aware of this on going problem but refuses to make a recall. I think someone is eventually going to get hurt or killed. I for one am getting rid of it as soon as it is fixed. I don't feel safe driving it anymore. Some people have had repairs for this problem only to have it reoccur shortly after the repair.thank you for your time and assistance...updated 01/07/15 the pinion seal and axle sealwere replaced
There have been 5 recalls on my dodge ram.the airbags may rupture in 2015, the rear axle pinion nut may loosen at the differential (powertrain) in 2014, again the airbags inflator may rupture in 2014, the wheel hub assembly (wheels) in 2010,also a recall forthe after market replacement pitman arms (steering)in 2010. I have gone to my chryslerdealer in las cruces, new mexico; the dodge dealer has been closed for a few years now.i have been told i have to have a notification from chrysler/dodge to have them just to take a look at it, much less fix the problems.now there is a huge recall; this is now really gotten serious.please help me as much as you can to take care of the malfunctions on my dodge ram as soon as possible.i have not taken the dodge on long distance road trips for the past couple of years now.the failed components listed below do not show all the malfunctions i have listed above.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician replaced the front and rear brake kit, rotors, brake lines, hoses, fluids and the master cylinder cover. The contact stated that the failure recurred approximately three years later while driving approximately 55 mph. Shortly thereafter, the vehicle had become responsive to acceleration and was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.
Bought a 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4 laramie quad cab used with 38000 mi. With new brakes & tires. At 42000mi a heavy vibration occurred, which turned out to be warped rotors. Since it was just out of warranty, i replaced all rotors & brakes (i am maintenance in the army). Then, at 51500mi the rotors warped again.i have read of many, many other owners with the same problem.i live a block from my job and don't drive very much. I also don't tow either, nor do i "slam" the brakes. I drive very slow & cautious, so there is no reason this should happen. This needs to be recalled & dodge needs to make good on their "tough truck".

The front brake will lock up on one side causing the rotor , caliper hub and wheel to become so hot it starts smoking . After it cools of it will release the locked up caliper and become drivable again. This will be fine for a while and then the other side will do the same thing.. This has to be very dangerous overheating all the front end components to these very high temperatures . There have been others with this problem on a forum ( vtcoa.com )i am a member of . There needs to be a dodge recall on all the effected overheating parts before it causes a major accident if it hasn't already. The other problem is the power steering hoses keep leaking or blowing out . This is another real hazard to safety . Have you ever tried to steer a 3 ton truck with no power assist , not easy by any means . These two things are an accident waiting to happen and should be corrected by dodge before someone gets killed.
I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab.this truck was bought new of the lot and has a steering issue. The steering wheel vibrates while turning at slow speeds like parking and whatnot. I have had the truck to the dealer twice for this and am told that it is common on the 2005 trucks. I was told that the dealer could not do anything to fix it and they could not get authorization from chrysler to do anything. This truck is under full warranty and with this issue i can't sell it or anything. This is a $35,000 lemon as far as i'm concerned, i also own a 2003 ram and have no issues with it. One more thing the dealer told me that this issue is due to the size ofthe tires that are factory installed. I have tried to call there customer service and all i get is some one in india that just can not do anything for me. And will not let me talk to some one here in america. Can you help me before the warranty runs out?

In march 2015 i received a letter stating that my truck had a recall involving the rear axle. As soon as i received this notice, i stopped driving my truck. In addition, while searching my vin # on your site, i found that my truck had another recall. This recall involves the air bags. My truck is my family's only means of transportation. Since i don't have another vehicle, i have been forced to borrow my parents and siblings vehicles. I even have been forced to take the bus. I feel that these recalls should have been resolved already. Is there anything that can be done to help me with this situation? i do not feel comfortable driving my family or myself around in this vehicle. It is not safe. Thank you.

While driving down the road the truck just stalls for no reason. I lose all control. I almost hit a car. I went over the curb into someone's yard. I have seen hundreds of complaints from dodge owners with the same exact problem. There is something wrong with that model. The rpm's jump and the truck just dies. Its happened to me on the freeway, on rural roads, and city streets. This is going to cause somebody serious injury. I parked my truck and stopped driving it because it is not safe to drive. Something needs to be done immediately.

I was driving on the interstate with my family enroute to south carolina when i started hearing a noise and felt a little vibration on the pedal at first i thought i may have ran over something. Then all of a sudden i just heard a boom and the truck just started fish tailin.luckily there werent any vehicles around me at the time, i was able to get to the side of the shoulder. When i looked under the vehicle the drive shaft had come completely out and there was smoke and oil leaking. When we got the truck to theshop and they looked it over the pinion had come completely a loose the seal was shot and chunks of the gears inside was mangled, the transfer case was cracked from the impact of when the drive shaft came apart.i also learned that the truck had a recall on it for this same problem.i managed to get the truck towed back to ny to my mechanic shop.where we have been trying to get dodge to do something enregard to the repairs. What we have been told was that the recall doesnt include my month! my year make and model but not my month. Yet i have the same issue as what is stated in the recall.

Steering failed, truck was having a thumping on right front area, but it was not the tire, it cause me to lose control while steering, the truck was totaled, it rolled over three times, the front driver airbag did not deploy, was saved by my seatbelt, the truck rolled to the right hitting on the passenger side, it had only 44,000 miles, i noticed this problem and took it to be inspected but nothing showed up as it was blamed by the person who drove it as my tires being rough, i already owned them for over a year with about 5000 miles on them and it was not the tire, it was faulty linkage for steering, caused loss of control and this truck was highly maintained, and before i could get a second opinion it was wrecked, as other drivers and other dodge trucks have faulty steering linkage problems, this will cause more accidents for other owners, after the wreck i could see that the linkage was damaged but since it rolled three times the insurance company can not say what exactly cause the sudden loss of steering, the linkage components are not right dodge needs to recall these trucks.
At approximately 35 mph my driveline dislodged from my rear differential and locked up the wheels (differential.). The road was a popular well maintained paved road. Fortunately no cars or pedestrians were close by and speed was relatively low, otherwise this could have ended with serious injury or fatality.in addition to the recent incidentwith the differential, i have experienced other issues with this ram:-new engine after cracking both heads while driving down the freeway (it gets serviced regularly and doesn't tow often).-idle has sudden surges at a stop.-transmission skipping gears.
While driving my truck straight down remembrance road (secondary highway) it stalled, loosing power steering and power brakes. I was traveling at a speed of approx 45 mph with no turns, coasted to the shoulder put in park and restarted luckily there was no other traffic. Truck restarted and i proceeded home. I parked the truck all seemed fine. Went out the next day and truck would not crank. Battery load checked ok, if i jump the starter relay @ pin 30 to 87 truck will crank. When key is turned on the dash lights come on along with radio, headlights, and blower for heat/air. This truck only has 56,000 miles on it and has been very well taken care of by me. It should be noted the gas gauge did not move when ignition key was turned on even though it had half a tank, it worked fine when i parked it. I have searched on line for this stall condition for my 2005 ram 1500 4.7l 4x4. It appears to happen alot if you search this condition on line with other dodge vehicles also and is very dangerous, what if i had been on the freeway doing 70 and lost my ability to stop or steer this vehicle out of harms way. Well the most obvious answer, i wouldn't be here writing this complaint. I am so upset, as a cancer survivor and all i went through with that, it would be a sorry way to be injured or die. I have instructed my love ones to take action against dodge should i die because of this trucks issue of loosing power. This is an ongoing problem that needs resolved by a recall or at least a thorough investigation of the root cause. I believe this is related to the pcm. I have had it towed to a garage to be looked at.
When i slow down it just stalls out on me . Its always restart.

Rack and pinion leaking which is connected to the power steering pump, which uses the same fluid as the rack and pinion--both have to be repaired and replaced.the tie rods are broken and connected to the rack and pinion fluid, which ultimately led to the tierods breaking due to fluid leakage. We are also having problems with the transmission, not shifting into 4 wheel drive--our prior vehicle was also a dodge ram 1500, in which we had tie rod issues and major automatic power transmission and power steering fluidissues.truck just purchased and currently in the shop pending replacement tie rods, power steering pump replacement and any other fluid issues they find to get the components working in synergy.

The frame on my dodge ram has broken welds on both sides of the frame where the lower control arms mount to the frame. They have failed due to manufacturing defects during the welding process. The truck has never been wrecked, driven off road, or done any towing. Dodge refuses any assistance in replacing the frame because it has aged out of their warranty. The truck has 74,138 miles on it and isnot drivable without a new frame. I had the truck in twice under warranty service for drivability issues under braking and steering over bumps. Neither time were the cracks in the frame found or addressed. Every time the brakes are applied, the steering wheel shakes uncontrollably and is unsafe to drive. I found the damage while changing the oil and was about to replace the frt hub bearing assembly on the passenger side since the driver's side had already failed and had been replaced earlier. Contacted chrysler and was told that my truck had aged out of warranty, but that taking it to a dealer they would be able to find a technical service bulletin that may cover it. I googled tsb's and found one on the 2006 dodge ram frames for the exact same area affected on my truck, but dodge still won't address this issue. I've been dealing with this for over six months and want my truck fixed or replaced.

While driving with the air conditioning on when i slowed down to stop behind a stopped vehicle my 05 dodge ram 1500 quad cab with a v8 stalled out. I had to put the truck into neutral to start it back up & continue going. This has happened so many times while slowing down or stopping that i no longer can keep count.it has also happened when making a turn which caused all loss of power steering & power brakes.so far i have not wrecked when this happens but it scares me or my teenage driver to death.i have reported it several times over several years & nothing is being done.i also know this happens with the 2004 model of dodge trucks as my nephew own one that i have drove & it happened the only difference in trucks is his 04 has the hemi. And this only happens when the air conditioning is on.i guess someone is going to have to wreck & die before dodge recalls & fixes the problem.but until then i will keep reporting here & to dodge.

I have two 2005 dodge ram trucks and both have started leaking power steering fluid in cold weather. Looked on line at different forums and found this is very common problem or defect. Want to know if this is a widespread defect, then why has not dodge been required to fix?
Since i first bought this truck in 2005 its had a pretty serious problem with stalling out when coming to a stop, and even worse, sometimes mid turn while moving. This is a very dangerous issue since loss of control is eminent in this type of incident. Along with this stalling out, the truck has a rough idle/surging idle issue when at a stop. Ive tried all types of repairs, and spent alot of money trying to fix this issue with no avail. I took it into dodge after i first bought the truck and they said they could not recreatethe problem and everything was fine. I took it in again and they cleaned the throttle body. Still same issue. Now ive replaced, out of my own pocket, the egr valve, throttle body itself, evap purge valve, and have tried a list of other remedies. Still not fixed. After a quick search of many different dodge ram club online forums this is a very very very common issue with these trucks, and all of us owners are fed up. Dodge wont take responsibility for this serious issue, and unfortunately people may die because of this. Please help us!
I was pulling away from a drive up window and the truck died. Lost power steering and brakes. This is not the first time this has happened and luckily i have not been driving fast when it has happened.

I have had (2)two close calls from a 2005 dodge ram 1500 due to equipment failures. (1) the power steering pump failed during a snowstorm and skidded me off the road. (2) recently with just 44,000 miles on the ram the wheelbearings seized and the driverside tire blowout sending me again to the side of the road into a small culvert. Even though under warranty dodge is delaying fixing it because i have been complaining about these equipment failures. I've noticed many complaints and even limited recalls regarding dodge wheelbearings being defective. If you are involved with either of these equipment failures you'd know how catastrophic it could be.
Truck swerved to miss a dear in the road, when turning back, left front wheel came off truck, spindle shaft broke at bearing, causing truck to roll over, truck was totaledand driver injured, a couple small contusions, hit head and bruised elbow. Truck had 12000 miles on it.no correction taken, truck is totaled.when wheel came off truck, truck was starting to skid, wheel did not come into contact with anything but the paved surface, was not struck by anything. I believethe spindle shaft failed, witch should not fail under such conditions, i am a certified ford technician. It should take a very hard impact for the spindle to fail if at all.

At 37,000 miles ilost control of my 2005 dodge ram 1500 truck and went off the road. I could not readily explain the reason but i assumed i had dropped off onto a low shoulder. After getting the body repaired i was told that the tie rods on my 2005 dodge truck were "severely" warn and needed to be replaced. It was a condition that was not noticed by the dealers at the 30k or 34k service.there is a service notice on a improperly tightened nut but i am not sure if itis related.steering is a safety system on a car.the change to permanently lubricated linkages is creating premature wear resulting in unexpected unsafe situations.dodge should be required to cover steering in their warranty and extended warranty and/or return to a serviceable party.i believe these tie rods are inappropriately designed for this application and pose a serious safety risk to the occupants.

The front passenger wheel broke off at low speed. Seems that the lower control arm (axle) just snapped in two. No other vehicles where involved, pot holes or curb. The wheel broke off pulling everything apart inside the wheel well except for the brake line. The truck landed on top of the wheel preventing it from flipping over. I spoke with chrysler dodge and all though admitting that the lower control arm should never break said that it wasn't a defected part because i hadn't had my vehicle serviced through the dealership . This was a very serious and dangerous problem. If it wouldn't have been for only doing 15mph when it happened it would have caused serious injury and possible death. Dodge has a known problem with faulty ball joints but don't seem to care all though this may have been a preliminary problem leading up to the axle breaking in two.

A recall was posted for 2006 and newer dodge ram for front wheel bearings. My 2005 had both front wheel bearings fail at less than 90,000 miles. Same manufacture of wheel bearings. Secondly, a recall was also given for a failed electrical switch pertaining to ignition switch and heater blower motor. Mine also failed in a cloud of smoke and smell of burning electrical component. I have both failed components, currently and would like to be included in these recalls.
I have had (2)two close calls from a 2005 dodge ram 1500 due to equipment failures. (1) the power steering pump failed during a snowstorm and skidded me off the road. (2) recently with just 44,000 miles on the ram the wheelbearings seized and the driverside tire blowout sending me again to the side of the road into a small culvert. Even though under warranty dodge is delaying fixing it because i have been complaining about these equipment failures. I've noticed many complaints and even limited recalls regarding dodge wheelbearings being defective. If you are involved with either of these equipment failures you'd know how catastrophic it could be.

09/01/2017 traveling east bound on hwy 12 in san joaquin county at 11:30 pm while drivingat 55 mph in between 2 jersey walls i turned left and hit the brakes hard to avoid a broken down vehicle. (note broken down vehicle had no flashers, flairs or any other warning) while applying the brakes the pedal went to the floor. I started bouncing back and forth off the walls. Air bags deployed, i was airborne at one point & actually thought i was going to die and when i came to a stop i was facing the wrong direction on the hwy.. I started my vehicle to move over to the side of the road and it wouldn't move. I proceeded to walk around the vehicle and noticed the right rear wheelwas missing.i believe when my brake pedal went to the floor that's when i lost the wheel. Chp called tow truck and said solo non injury accident no report needed i didn't realize and now it's been brought to my attention that the axle shaft broke on a weldand looks like there were air bubbles in the steel.i don't know if you have had any other issues with axle shafts, but i would like to file a claim. I believe the wreck was much worse due to the axle shaft breaking. Truck is totaled with a twisted frame.see also 11073246

On january 26, 2014, my truck with only 59,000 miles experienced sudden catastrophic failure of the front left wheel bearing hub assembly.the front left wheel bearing hub failure resulted in complete separation of the wheel hub and assembly from the truck.this major failure is similar to two previous nhtsa recalls on dodge ram 1500 trucks as outlined below.from my review of dodge message boards, this appears to be a broader issue than covered by the two previous nhtsa recalls.when i contacted the dodge dealership, they said my truck was not within the two recall classes.i believe this is a broader issue and request the nhtsa to further investigate to save the lives of individuals who have purchased this truck.two previous recall efforts:1) the nhtsa campaign number is 07v-038 (or 07v038000). Daimlerchrysler's dodge division is recalling 86,333 of its popular ram 1500 pickup trucks due to a potential failure of the front wheel bearing hub assembly. The recall, under the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa), involves every ram light-duty 2006 model year truck manufactured between november 7, 2005 and april 27, 2006. Three plants' output is involved: saltillo, mexico; fenton, missouri; warren, michigan. 2) nhtsa campaign id number: 10e040000 : federal-mogul is recalling certain carquest, national, and percision brand wheel hub assemblies, p/nos 515073 and 515073, sold for use as replacement equipment on model year 2002 through 2008 dodge ram 1500 pickup trucks. The inboard roll form used to maintain the hub assembly can fatigue resulting in noise and/or wheel separation on the two wheel drive (2wd) applications. The risk of these issues do not occur on the four wheel drive (4wd) applications, and installation on the 4wd applications are not part of this recall.

Blew a rod and rear axle broke
The frame on my dodge ram has broken welds on both sides of the frame where the lower control arms mount to the frame. They have failed due to manufacturing defects during the welding process. The truck has never been wrecked, driven off road, or done any towing. Dodge refuses any assistance in replacing the frame because it has aged out of their warranty. The truck has 74,138 miles on it and isnot drivable without a new frame. I had the truck in twice under warranty service for drivability issues under braking and steering over bumps. Neither time were the cracks in the frame found or addressed. Every time the brakes are applied, the steering wheel shakes uncontrollably and is unsafe to drive. I found the damage while changing the oil and was about to replace the frt hub bearing assembly on the passenger side since the driver's side had already failed and had been replaced earlier. Contacted chrysler and was told that my truck had aged out of warranty, but that taking it to a dealer they would be able to find a technical service bulletin that may cover it. I googled tsb's and found one on the 2006 dodge ram frames for the exact same area affected on my truck, but dodge still won't address this issue. I've been dealing with this for over six months and want my truck fixed or replaced.
Driving during inclement weather event, heard a pop in the area of the right front wheel. Assumed it was ice or snow.within the next 20 miles, slight vibration began and grinding noise heard.parked vehicle for week while out of town.returned drove to work, approx 22 miles, problem persisted and got worse, this was during another snow event.decided to seek assistance from local dealership, refused immediate attention, set up appointment for jan. 4, 2010.called local repair shop near home.could get me in immediately.attempted to drive to repair shop.right from wheel bearing failed, causing damage to hub and axle.had to be hauled in because the wheel separated from axle.caused tire to ride up into upper control arm and destroyed tire.searched internet and found that 2006 dodge rams had been recalled for similar problems and that 2002 thru 2008 dodge rams that had replacements with specific brands had been recalled.my vehicle had only 53,412 miles on it when the bearing assembly failed.it has cost me over $600 in repairs that were not covered by the "70,000 mile limited drivetrain warranty."the replaced parts are available and in my possession.it seems to me this is a fairly common occurrence in dodge pickups of many model years including 2005 both 2 and 4 wheel drive.
Rack and pinion leaking which is connected to the power steering pump, which uses the same fluid as the rack and pinion--both have to be repaired and replaced.the tie rods are broken and connected to the rack and pinion fluid, which ultimately led to the tierods breaking due to fluid leakage. We are also having problems with the transmission, not shifting into 4 wheel drive--our prior vehicle was also a dodge ram 1500, in which we had tie rod issues and major automatic power transmission and power steering fluidissues.truck just purchased and currently in the shop pending replacement tie rods, power steering pump replacement and any other fluid issues they find to get the components working in synergy.
The catalytic converter was replaced in 2007 under warranty. Dodge states it is bad again. Truck now has 64000 miles on it. Also the drivers side front bearing and spindle had to be replaced in 2009 because of a the same problem in the 2006 model due to insufficient lubrication at factory.
The front passenger wheel broke off at low speed. Seems that the lower control arm (axle) just snapped in two. No other vehicles where involved, pot holes or curb. The wheel broke off pulling everything apart inside the wheel well except for the brake line. The truck landed on top of the wheel preventing it from flipping over. I spoke with chrysler dodge and all though admitting that the lower control arm should never break said that it wasn't a defected part because i hadn't had my vehicle serviced through the dealership .

I just bought a new 2005 dodge magnum 1500 ram long bed from the dealer in november 2005. After the second day of driving on the highway i noticed the truck vibrated a lot at around 65 mph. I returned the truck to get the tires balanced at the dealer and they said that tires needed no balancing and the shaking was fixed. The next day going to work the shaking started at around 63 mph and i returned to the dealer and test drove with mechanic and they balanced the tires. This time one tire was found unbalanced and was told that these truck shake at those speeds and when there is less than 300 pounds on the bed. I made another appointment so that they could do more tests and test drive. Same thing was said. They said everything was normal and nothing could be done and that i need to put 300 plus pounds on the bed to fix the problem. I called the 1-800 customer service for the manufacturer and they called the dealer and told me to go and make another appointment. I went to the dealer the next business day and the service department said that there was no need for any further appointment and there was nothing to be done as those long beds and model shake that way with less than 300 pound on the bed. I could not get another appointment or go on a test drive. At this pointi think that is a safety issue because if you were to go on a long trip, and most highways and interstate have speeds of 60 and above, you would not be able to look through the mirrors to merge into lanes or see other cars if the truck is shaking. If you are driving to work and the passenger puts a drink in the cup holder, and you are on the highway, and if the drink spills because of the shaking would that cause a shortage and /or distraction. It would be a safety issue to have to load and unload the 300 plus pounds of whatever from the bed when you have to load plywood or anything that require the dimension of the bed.

A recall was posted for 2006 and newer dodge ram for front wheel bearings. My 2005 had both front wheel bearings fail at less than 90,000 miles. Same manufacture of wheel bearings. Secondly, a recall was also given for a failed electrical switch pertaining to ignition switch and heater blower motor. Mine also failed in a cloud of smoke and smell of burning electrical component. I have both failed components, currently and would like to be included in these recalls.
Purchased the truck new in 2005.wife was driving to store when engine shut off.she turn around and drove 1.5 mile back to house and parked truck.truck had plenty oil, but was leaking oil from passenger side valve cover had a small hole.pulled covers, both heads and found head cast had broke off on passenger side. This caused hole in valve cover. Bottom of both head casting had damage to valve seal which should be pressed into place.three of the seal pop out about 1/4 inch.and one of the seal on driver side head casting cracked cylinder head. This should not happen.i never seen this type of damage to headers.i think the casting if flawed.before taking the valve covers of, i thought if i get another valve cover might be ok.so i searched for a valve cover.i called two dodge dealer part department. Withnell dodge in salem and mark thomas motors in albany oregon.both dealer parts department told me they had over 60 back orders for this valve cover.that's over 120 back order for valve covers. I suspect other truck owners thought all they needed was to replace the valve cover and that should fix their problem.i also suspect the flaw in the header cast is the problem and is causing a chain reaction to occur when parts of the casting break off, hit the valve cover, which can cause the truck to overheat, and result in damage to cylinder head, rings, and header, all because the head casting was molded with an inherited flaw. Nothing make sense as to why truck had problem with header, except bad cast for header.i hope your organization can do something about this matter.i put less than 15,000 miles per year on this truck, and i should be enjoying this truck for trouble free.with dodge history of failure to notify vehicle owner about inherited problems with past, i do not expect dodge to take responsibility for what i have experienced.

Wheels make banging noise steering god
While driving my truck straight down remembrance road (secondary highway) it stalled, loosing power steering and power brakes. I was traveling at a speed of approx 45 mph with no turns, coasted to the shoulder put in park and restarted luckily there was no other traffic. Truck restarted and i proceeded home. I parked the truck all seemed fine. Went out the next day and truck would not crank. Battery load checked ok, if i jump the starter relay @ pin 30 to 87 truck will crank. When key is turned on the dash lights come on along with radio, headlights, and blower for heat/air. This truck only has 56,000 miles on it and has been very well taken care of by me. It should be noted the gas gauge did not move when ignition key was turned on even though it had half a tank, it worked fine when i parked it. I have searched on line for this stall condition for my 2005 ram 1500 4.7l 4x4. It appears to happen alot if you search this condition on line with other dodge vehicles also and is very dangerous, what if i had been on the freeway doing 70 and lost my ability to stop or steer this vehicle out of harms way. Well the most obvious answer, i wouldn't be here writing this complaint. I am so upset, as a cancer survivor and all i went through with that, it would be a sorry way to be injured or die. I have instructed my love ones to take action against dodge should i die because of this trucks issue of loosing power. This is an ongoing problem that needs resolved by a recall or at least a thorough investigation of the root cause. I believe this is related to the pcm. I have had it towed to a garage to be looked at.
My 2005 dodge ram srt-10 viper truck engine stalls/shuts down without warning, no codes, no errorlights while driving...i have a problem with my truck stalling out when parking or going through slow turns. In the middle of an intersection'while an emergency vehicle was approaching, it died and i slowly drifted over to an adjacent curve..the most recent was on 11/06/15, but it has happened at least 5 times over the past 5 months. All lights and the radio remain on and it starts right back up, however my steering and brakes lock up which is a huge safety concern. When the steering wheel is turned my rpms drop dramatically and it sounds like the truck wants to stall. Started surging and stalling so in it went in again, this time they replaced the iac module ...and then they thought it might be the fuel pump'so they tested the fuel rail and claim that it was losing 5% of its torque'but not to be concerned'then they thought it might be the map sensor'but no !...again with no indication, no error lights; andno codes'' and the dealership mechanics still can not get it to run without shutting off once you step on the accelerator it dies' to dealer for checkup. Could not and can not find the problem. And they charged me $967.00why can't fiat-chrysler save face when they know a part problem exists and just fix it right without ripping off customers ?the mopar mechanics have had my truck since november 6th, 2015 , (over two months ) and still can not figure out what is wrong with it'..'theywant me to pay more money while they explore different options they claim that the fiat-chrysler coprporation engineers want them to try''really..ss you are asking the consumer/customer to fund the education of your mechanics'fiat-chryslerreally ?????please recall these trucks before some-one or some-family gets killed please..please !!

I was driving down the road and the lsd rear differential of my 2005 dodge ram 1500 completely locked up and the drive line separated from the rear differential.the shop that fixed it said that a retaining clip must have come loose and destroyed the entire rear differential.good thing i was only going about 25 mph in a residential neighborhood and not 75mph on the freeway, or the outcome could have been life threatening. Updated 5/29/2015
It felt like the wheels locked down, and the rear end began to fishtail, causing uncontrollable swerving, resulting in the vehicle veering off of the road and rolling multiple times.driver was my son.
The spare tire hoist can become inoperable, not allowing you to raise nor lower the spare tire.however, over time, the cable begins to slowly lower the spare to which the spare begins to rock back and forth.eventually, the cable gives way and breaks, allowing the tire to fall off.in my case, i had never been able to raise or lower my spare tire, nor had the dodge dealership or any alternate places that replace tires.it was almost 9 years when i noticed that the spare tire had lowered and was rocking back and forth, however, the hoist was still inoperable, and the tire had not lowered enough to access the mounting bolts for the hoist nor to cut the cable.several months ago, i was driving on the highway at 75 mph when i noticed all the cars behind me swerving every which direction.....and then i noticed a tire bouncing on the highway in front of them.i had my suspicion so i immediately pulled over to check on my spare just to find that it and part of my hoist were missing.luckily, nobody got hurt as rush hour was just under way so the number of cars on the road was slightly less than normal.throughout the entire time i've owned this truck, i've never been able to use my spare (and i've had a fair share of flats but have luckily been close enough to friends or family that could help).on every instance where i contacted the dodge dealership about this problem, they merely told me i could pay them to fix it.why should i pay to fix something that never worked from the moment the vehicle was purchased?
While driving in city rush hour traffic, i experienced sudden unintended acceleration (wide open throttle) after taking my foot off the throttle pedal to slow down for a turn. The throttle remained stuck in full acceleration mode until i crashed into a traffic light pole. Full details are available online here: http://imimpulsive.blogspot.com/2010/01/stuck-throttle-accelerator-that-almost.html
The truck stalls when slowing for a stop or idling around a corner. That is a safety issue because the steering and brakes are locked up at that point. Whether it's idling in a traffic jam, coming to a stop, or idling around the corner, you will suddenly have no power but everything else is on. Not the engine and it was so smooth that you don't notice until you can't brake or steer. There are hundreds of people with this year make and model that are having the same problem. I understand there was an investigation but it was closed without resolution. Case number ea05018. This is a growing problem and we the people are spending hundreds of dollars to replace parts that are just part of a trouble shooting issue and most of us still have the problem. And it's the same for all of us. Please relook at this problem. If i were the only one i could understand but i am not. We love our trucks but this is a serious problem. Last night i was in a double turn intersection when it shut off. Thankful i was in the outer lane and hit the median and not another car. If you read on car complaints.com under 2005 dodge ram 1500 stalls/shuts down while driving, you will see that this is a serious problem and there are loads of people. They think the repair fixes but it does not and the issue does not happen all the time. It started occasionally but now it's almost daily and multiple times a day. Please please help! this started in 2009 when we bought the truck and has progressively gotten worse. Not sure if previous owner had issue but it may be why it was traded in.
I recently had a investigator inspect my vehicle that broke the right rear axle. Chrysler got back to me and claimed the break was not from there recall. Chrysler avoided my whole complaint of defective material. I was not relying on recalls but the material is not right. I had a couple of professional welders look at the axle and was informed that the break was on a weld, which should have been the strongest point and that the material looks porous. I have already filed a claim on this matter, which totaled my truck due to the axle breaking.see also 11031993
2005 dodge ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to unsatisfactory customer service at dealership.the consumer was unsuccessful at getting an appointment, to get the recall rectified. He was told to call back in three to four months to see if the part was available. Ultimately, he made an appointment at another dealership, which was further away. The consumer did not reference a specific recall.
Vehicle shut off unexpectedly while i was slowing down to a stop.
An electrical fire started under hood of vehicle. No signs of anything being wrong before the fire and vehicle had been parked and sitting in driveway for at least 24 hours before fire was seen and reported to police and fire dept. Nobody was home when this happened.
Drivers side rear door lock is stuck in the locked position and will not open. Since it's the rear door there is no key hole to unlock the door. Door will not open with remote door opener either.
In march 2015 i received a letter stating that my truck had a recall involving the rear axle. As soon as i received this notice, i stopped driving my truck. My truck is my family's only means of transportation. Since i don't have another vehicle, i have been forced to borrow my parents and siblings vehicles. I even have been forced to take the bus. I feel that this recall should have been resolved already. Is there anything that can be done to help me with this situation? i do not feel comfortable driving my family or myself around in this vehicle. Thank you.

At this pointi think that is a safety issue because if you were to go on a long trip, and most highways and interstate have speeds of 60 and above, you would not be able to look through the mirrors to merge into lanes or see other cars if the truck is shaking. If you are driving to work and the passenger puts a drink in the cup holder, and you are on the highway, and if the drink spills because of the shaking would that cause a shortage and /or distraction. It would be a safety issue to have to load and unload the 300 plus pounds of whatever from the bed when you have to load plywood or anything that require the dimension of the bed.
I was driving on the interstate with my family enroute to south carolina when i started hearing a noise and felt a little vibration on the pedal at first i thought i may have ran over something. Then all of a sudden i just heard a boom and the truck just started fish tailin.luckily there werent any vehicles around me at the time, i was able to get to the side of the shoulder. When i looked under the vehicle the drive shaft had come completely out and there was smoke and oil leaking. When we got the truck to theshop and they looked it over the pinion had come completely a loose the seal was shot and chunks of the gears inside was mangled, the transfer case was cracked from the impact of when the drive shaft came apart.i also learned that the truck had a recall on it for this same problem.i managed to get the truck towed back to ny to my mechanic shop.where we have been trying to get dodge to do something enregard to the repairs. What we have been told was that the recall doesnt include my month! my year make and model but not my month. Yet i have the same issue as what is stated in the recall.
2005 dodge ram 1500 developed a problem with the sensor in the driver's seat belt. *mr the consumer was in the process of mounting a radio, and was bolting it down to the floor on the transmission hump in the front of the front seat.the next day, consumer drove the vehicle and the air bag light illuminated.the problem was that the sensor was in the front driver's seat belt.the consumer had inadvertently drove a sheet metal screw through the wire running to the driver's seat. *sc
I was driving on a highway when all of a sudden i heard what i thought to be a blow out (tire) ,as i pulled over on shoulder with difficulty i looked in mirror and saw a part has fallen off, later retrieved with tow truck driver, part being a driveshaft. Rear end had seized as i maneuvered my veh. As far on shoulder as possible, i feel fortunate for outcome of incident. I had gotten a tow to my resident now not sure what my next step is to do, any advise would be helpful. Thank you
Have had numerous problems with tires.separating on 3 tires out of set of 4. The next 4 tires developed bubbles and had to be replaced as well. Truck bounces down the road. Speed doesnt seem to be a factor but more obvious at higher speeds. Truck has stalled on me numerous times crossing railroad tracks which arevery close to my house. I finally got the nut recall after numerous calls to dealer. I was told no parts. Finally it was done 2 weeks ago. While there i inquired about the airbag recall. I was told they werent aware of it, than they said we have to order parts . I was hoping the nut recall would solve the bounce issue it has not. I am afraid yet another set of tires will be yet a waste of more money i dont have, and still scared of what may happen when what is causing the bounce finally breaks.this is a 2005 dodge 1500 quad cab 2 wheel drive vehicle i bought new. It replaced a dodge sport quad cab 4x4 which was stolen, also bought new in 1998.i never bounced in my 4x4 which i would think would be a rougher ride. Brakes are also a issue. Front brakes to be exact.they go through themquick. At least 5 sets, some with rotors on a vehicle which just turned 80,000 miles. These arethe heavy duty ones as well. I was hoping they would get better milage. Doesnt seem to matter.
The volume of air coming from my defroster is inadequate tokeep the windshield clear from fog and frost. I have read several on line articles about this problem and it seems quite a few people are having the same issue. I live in california and could only imagine how someone living in a colder climate is dealing with this problem. This definitely can cause an unsafe condition by hampering your vision while driving.
I was at the stop sign on the braga bridge in ma.i started to enter traffic when there was a loud bang and then a bunch of banging, i instantly stopped on the bridge just past the stop sign.i put the truck in park and shut off the engine,i jumped out of the truck but it began to roll back.i had my wife hold the break while i checked.the truck would roll backwards but not forwards.the drive shaft was lying on the ground.we had to wait for a tow truck to move the truck.a flat bed showed up and could not get the truck to roll forward.he then continued to upset me by dragging the truck onto the flat bed as it was the only way to move it.

The contact was the mechanic working on a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stationary and in neutral, the vehicle erroneously accelerated. The contact crashed into a hydraulic lift and sustained injuries to the shoulder and leg. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The vehicle was neither diagnosed for the cause of the failure or repaired. The failure mileage was 78,000. The vin was unavailable. Updated 9/4/13
As i pulled into a parking space, when i applied the brakes, the motor revved up, causing the pick up to surge forward and jump over a concrete stopper into a metal pole in front of a business.the hood, grill and bumper caved inward about a foot, the air bags did not deploy.i had a bump on my forehead and my wrists were sore for a few days.i did not go to er.
While driving on the highway at 60 mph the back wheels suddenly and without warning locked up for an instant.i immediately braked to reduce speed and try to get to the side of the road.in order to avoid being hit in the rear by other vehicles, i needed to accelerate to 60 mph and the wheels locked again.i was able to get to the side of the road.i have called dodge about this issue.
I was driving on an on-ramp to enter the freeway and was accelerating.the accelerator pedal went to the floor and the rpms climbed.the cruise control was off at this time.i tried turning the cruise control on and off, but the vehicle continued to accelerate.i stomped on the accelerator pedal several times and the vehicle's rpms and speed rolled back.the check engine light did not illuminate and i didn't notice if the electronic throttle control light was on or off.the truck drove normally after that.approximately 1 week later, i was driving on the interstate @ 70mph.the cruise control was off.i pulled into the passing lane and pressed the accelerator pedal, but not all the way to the floor, to accelerate.the engine immediately accelerated and the pedal seemed to go all the way to the floor.i stepped on the accelerator pedal several times, but could not disengage it.i tried turning the cruise control on and off, but that did not disengage the pedal either.i was standing on the brakes at this time, but the vehicle continued acceleration.the check engine light did not illuminate, but the electronic throttle control light illuminated red.this is the first time i have ever seen this light.i put the vehicle into neutral (rpms still high) and stepped on the accelerator pedal several times.the engine started idling down.
The cruise control accelerated by itself.
While driving in city rush hour traffic, i experienced sudden unintended acceleration (wide open throttle) after taking my foot off the throttle pedal to slow down for a turn. The throttle remained stuck in full acceleration mode until i crashed into a traffic light pole. Full details are available online here: http://imimpulsive.blogspot.com/2010/01/stuck-throttle-accelerator-that-almost.html
My 2005 dodge ram 1500 black rumble bee truck was stopped at red light as was fixing to make a left turn the truck stumbled as if stalling and then shot off wide open throttle my foot was not on the throttle, in to oncoming traffic i made the turn and avoided hitting any body and slide in to the parking lot where i rolled the truck in the empty lot. The police came up that watched the wreck and said that's what i get for hot rodding the truck i told them i had not and turned the switch back on with truck in park and it went to wide open throttle. They quickly said it was out of my control and called the wreck a mechanical failure.after a two months fight withinsurance company i bought the truck back they had totaled the truck it only has 27000 miles on it. I went to hoover and talked with service and the owner finding out that this had happened in several other chrysler 300s and other ram trucks with the 5.7 hemi just at his dealer ships (4). Once every thing got settledi started looking at the truck and found the throttle stuck wide open i released the throttle actuator the throttle snapped closed replaced it with a used one truck idles fine scared to move it but idles fine. What can be done about this if anything.
1st incident 2/21/13: driving on a 4 lane highway w/center left turn lanes at 40 when a car cut across from the right to make a left turn. Hit the brakes causing the front to lock up (rear abs only). Truck started stopping, but continued moving forward against the front brakes and into the car. Truck left unusually long skid marks. Police and insurance reports made. Damaged to front bumper.2nd incident 3/5/13: driving at 40 on curved section of highway with 2 lanes in direction i was going and 1 lane on opposite side separated by large grass medium when a car pulled out from the left hand u-turn in the medium. Hit the brakes causing the truck to slide straight through curve onto grass shoulder. Truck came to complete stop and heard the right rear spinning in the dirt. Put my left foot on the brake to hold truck from moving. I checked to make sure i was not on the gas. It spun for several seconds before stopping. Truck left normal length of skid marks. Did not smell burnt brakes in rear; possibly not engaged at all.i am currently looking to see if i can test the braking at a local dirt track to verify this issue, and to have outside observation of the occurrence. I have replaced all four disk brakes with high performance brake rotors and brake pads to assist with better braking in the last week. I will post the results here once i can arrange the test.have not had any problems with normal or heavy braking; only emergency braking.first incident resulted in an accident, luckily no injuries. The drive wheel was in the dirt for second incident; there was not an accident.this is a very serious safety issue, and may be the cause of other accidents and not reported because driver could not realize it happened. It appears to be the problem where the abs system causes excessive heat build up resulting in computer malfunction.
Dt:vehicleruns fine when it's cold. But when it's warm it runs differently. It fuels itself. Whencoasting above 25 mph it will hold 1500 rpms, and when not havingfoot on the gas it has no engine braking, it will actually speed up ifgoing down hill.vehicle was takento 3 different dealers 4 times, and they refused to do anything.
As i was preparing to park, my truck accelerated on it's own jumping over a concrete stopper and into a large metal pole in front of a business.the entire front of my truck caved in, the hood, the grill and the bumper crumpled and the air bag (which should have) did not deploy.the dealership is refusing to fix it and filed a criminal no trespass against me so i can't go on the lot or try to talk to the salesman.the police officers who responded checked me over, said it was an 'at fault' accident but only because i was behind the wheel and gave me a 'crash bureau form' to fill out, which i did.my online research showed recalls on both the accelerator and the air bags.please help me.my insurance is not going to pay for the repairs due to the fact it was due to defective auto parts and the dealership should take care of it, which they won't.i am a fifty year old disabled female and my truck is my lifeline.i do not have the $7,000.00 the dealership wants me to pay to fix the truck i just bought (still doesn't have plates on it yet) and paid $10,000.00 for.i bought it from benny boyd in marble falls, texas.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500 quadcab lwb.the vehicle accelerated automatically to 20 mph when the contact placed it in drive.the vehicle traveled six feet and crashed into the garage door.the vehicle was towed to the dealer and they were unable to diagnose the cause of failure.the current and failure mileages were 13,194.
While driving 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4,i went to pass a slower moving vehicle,the truck went into passing gear, and the accelerator stuck all the way to the floor.i tried to lift it with my foot and only the plastic portion of the pedal came up, the truck was still going at full foot pedal. I looked at speedometer and was going over 100 + miles and hour, the only thing i could think to do was to put it in neutral, but at that rpm the motor would surely blow. I stood on the brakes, until i was slowing a bit and then put in neutral,at which time the motor was free revving at redline. I was able to stop, all the while the motor was red lining, and then shut the key off. Thankgoodness the brakes held, i don't know how much longer they would have though , there was smoke rolling off the entire front end of the truck. I notified the dealer, who recommended that i call roadside assistance and have it towed in ,he gave me the number , and was sorry for this happening, and unfortunately he had no porter to come and pick me up, could i stay with the truck until tow truck arrived. I called the tow truck assistance and waited for them to arrive , the man informed me that when the key is shut off, it resets itself, he started the truck and drove it up on the flat bed.i arrived at the dealership and they are going to look at it sometime.last week my 17 year old daughter was driving the same vehicle and had a minor incident while pulling into a parking lot, witnesses stated that the truck was going fast. Last week i like any mother thought it was her driving skills,after today , it's really made me think about her incident. And what would have happened if it was her driving?i saw my life pass by me today literally.i don't want todrive it again. What should i do. I have only had this truck 10 months!!!!!!!!!!
I was nearly killed by sudden acceleration in my ram 1500. Chrysler refused to take the incident seriously. Here is the story with graphics:http://imimpulsive.blogspot.com/2010/01/stuck-throttle-accelerator-that-almost.htmland here's the aftermath:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxbj6p4namait makes me nervous knowing there are these time bombs out there, not just for the drivers like me, but other drivers too and pedestrians (i ended up on the sidewalk).
I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 crew cab with the 4.7 and 4x4. Today while driving with cruise control set at 75 the accelerator stuck and i had to turn the key off to stop the truck.the truck has less than 54,000 miles on it.i don't have floor mats in the truck and once the truck was stopped i checked under the hood and the cable was tightly connected but lose on the throttle body and the same on the gas pedal.
Customer states that vehicle stalls at low speeds, including stop lights and while driving in slow traffic, stall incident have occasionally occurred at highway speeds cuasing loss of power steering and power brakes.even when no codes are thrown vehicle has a obvious misfire, codes are not constantly thrown but when they do they are only thrown during travel up hills at rpms over 3500, the codes thrown are p0306, p0308 with no apparent cuase. Approximately 6-8 months ago the code p0308 was thrown and the rocker arm on cylinder 8 was determined to be the cuase, it was replaced. Code stopped being thrown until 9/4/15. This vehicle has been used as a daily driver and has not been driven in excess of normal work and back driving. Owner has contacted a dodge dealership who have 1. Not found a correctiveissues, 2. Not been able to recreate the issue. This is appearing to become an issue with this model. Customer has informed dodge who states that he should take it to a dealership and have them diagnos it.this has been done already and they couldnt find anything.

The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle lost power and independently accelerated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
The truck will start surging between 30 -65 mph and the engine will fail causing loss of brakes and power steering. While idling the engine will rev up to 3000 rpm up and down and will also do this while in drive. While idling at a stop light the truck will surge forward like the gas pedal was pushed to the floor and i have almost hit numerous cars in front of me many different times. I have had the throttle body cleaned and replaced, egr valve replaced, and the electronic throttle control replaced by a dodge dealership. On average, this problem occurs 5-8 times a week. To this day the problem still exists (7/29/2010).
I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The windshield wipers work incorrectly. They may work fine or they may stop half way and quit, or not even work at all! i had the same issue with my old 1997 chevy s-10 truck, and it was fixed under a recall. My dodge has the exact same issue.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)i was driving my 2005 dodge 1500 truck in rain,wipersjust stop working,then after a few minutes would start working again. It did not cause accident ,but could have if raining harder. Now i don't want my spouse driving the truck with my little girl. The dealer says no recall on 2005,but there is a wiper recall on 2009. The dealer also said they have seen the problem many, many times, and have parts in stock to repair, but i will have to pay for repair. I've contacted chrysler and have a complaint [xxx] , all they told me was to have it repaired and keep invoice in case a recall is issued so i can be reimbursed. This is not acceptable to me. Seems like someone has to die to get something done. Thank you
The turn signal/wiper/lights assembly appears to have failed.when attempting to make a right turn signal, nothing happens.when making a left turn signal, the right signal happens instead.now, everything has failed.no brights, no turn signals, no wipers.researching on the internet, especially on the dodge truck forums, it seems to e quite a common problem.in fact that is where i got the link to this form to fill out.
My 2005 dodge ram has an air duct flapper that broke and fell into the fan. Know my defrost does not work.
My air condition won't switch to defrost creating a safety hazard. Dodge is aware of the problem but acted like they never heard of it before. I brought it there 3 times to fix and the problem was never fixed. 2005 dodge ram 1500.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 35 mph, the contact noticed that the defroster was not functioning. The contact stated there was no air flowing through the vents on the dashboard to defrost the windshield. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics where the technician was unable to diagnose the failure and suggested removing the dashboard to locate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
When i turn on my left turn signal my right turn signal blinks. Some times my wipers won't come on or stop running. I am told that the multifunction switch needs to be replaced. This is definitely a safety issue.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 4 mph, the windshield wipers malfunctioned. The contact also stated that the windshield wiper motor was no longer working. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 09e009000 (visibility:windshield wiper/washer). The failure mileage was 101,000.
Broken blend door in heating plenum causing loss of defroster use. A major safety hazard in cold weather. In searching the web it appears to be a common problem.
Truck stalls or completely shuts off while driving.the dash and window area rattles. Dealer said that there is nothing wrong with truck. The truck had only a week and it was shutting off by itself. The situation of the truck made my wife scared to drive. The dealer lithia played it off like it's nothing maybe its the fuel blahh,blahh.
A very dangerous problem with my 2005 dodge ram 1500 pick-up is occurring on a daily basis when i use the turn signal - windshield wiper - high beam " multi-switch". When trying to signal a left turn by pushing down on the "multi-switch" lever(left turn signal flashes two or three times then right turn signal activates uncommanded) if i try to engage the right turn signal some times it won't signal / flash at all. My truck only has 46,000 miles on it, not a good testimate for dodge. I read in a dodge repair website / forumthat a lot of the same problems are occurring with the dodge ram pick-ups and mini vans. (all years) is there a recall or will a recall be considered in the near future?
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. While the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to roll down the front passenger side window and noticed a smoke odor coming from the window. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 15v313000 (air bags) and 14v796000 (power train); 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 repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 87,000.

2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab.the blinkers don't operate properly, they blink on both sides whenever they want and now the wiper blades work inconsistently.this has been going on since september, 2010, approximately 4 months.need to replace the blinker handle on steering column.
When heading to work, was going approximately 70 mph on the interstate when i looked in sideview mirror and saw smoke coming from my vehicle.at that same time, i heard a loud roaring noise for a few seconds, then my driver's side wheel came off.the wheel crossed over into the east-bound lane of the interstate (i was heading west), and the brake calipers broke off.even though my brakes and tire were gone, i was able to get my vehicle to the side of the interstate without causing injury to myself or others.all this also caused body damage to the front quarter panel of my truck, making it difficult to open and close the driver's side door.i retrieved my tire and had a tow truck take my vehicle to the local dodge dealership where i purchased the truck.they advised me they had never heard of this happening before.i've now been informed the repairs consist of replacing the hub, spindle, brake caliper, rotor, brake line, brake pads, and a new tire (the other tire blew out) at a cost of $2000.i have requested the old parts be given to me in case this issue needs to proceed with an investigation.i have done research that revealed the 2006 dodge ram trucks were recalled for this exact same problem (wheel bearing assemblies not receiving enough lubrication at the factory causing them to lock up and cause crashes).but since my vehicle is a 2005, dodge refuses to acknowledge responsibility.
Intermittent windshield wiper function, also intermittent blinker and lighting function.
The volume of air coming from my defroster is inadequate tokeep the windshield clear from fog and frost. I have read several on line articles about this problem and it seems quite a few people are having the same issue. I live in california and could only imagine how someone living in a colder climate is dealing with this problem. This definitely can cause an unsafe condition by hampering your vision while driving.
My windshield wipers do not work properly - i only turn them on in the rain, in western washington state.i turn wipers on, and have to pull over because they willnot work, and i cannot see.this happens daily because of the amount of rain.
The wipers randomly turn on and off or can't maintain lower speeds.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. While driving various speeds,the windshield wipers only operated on high and low speeds, and failed to operate on intermittent speed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 70,000.
Intermittent wipers do not work or work erratically when raining
The wiper delays don't work and shut off on their own. They will turn on when the switch is turned off. They will sometimes work on the delay and other times go full speed only.i live in bellevue washington where it rains frequently so i rely on my wipers to work properly so i don't get into an accident. I have tried to replace the relay switch (no luck). I have read may posts in forums for dodge ram 1500 owners and there are thousands of owners with the same issue but no fixes have been found. Many owners have brought their trucks to the dealership to repair with no luck. This is a safety issue and it needs to be investigated. It is obviously not a simple fix and dodge should be looking into a solution for all the owners of dodge ram 1500 trucks.
The blend door on the 2005 dodge ram goes bad easily. When this happens the ac/ and heater re-circulation is damaged. This causes visibility issues. This is a very common issue. I'm surprised this has not been recalled yet or even looked into.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while in park, the contact noticed that there was power steering fluid leaking underneath the front of the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the wipers were activated but failed to function. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was also taken to a dealer multiple times who diagnosed that the wiper motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired.the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v796000 (power train) however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
The windshield wipers randomly stop while in intermittent mode. I have been able to restart the wipers by selecting a non-intermittent position on the control wand. This has happened more that 50 times over the last nine years and each time it was mentioned to the dealer, they said that they have to see it happen before they can find a fix. The original dealer (timberline dodge, portland, or - out of business due to recession) tried to see it happen and the latest servicing dealer (ron tonkin dodge - gladstone, or) said they did not know of a problem or fix. Most recently, about a week ago, it happened while driving on interstate 5 while driving at 65 mph in light rain. Once you switch to non-intermittent mode, you can reselect intermittent mode and they work until the next failure. The only common denominator is the failure occurs when it is raining.
I can not see out of my windows on my pick up the tint from the manufacture is horrible for visibility.
Turn signals work sporadically.this is a daily issue.signal left and the right signal comes on.signal right and maybe the left turn signal comes on, or maybe not at all.sometimes turn signals randomly switch back and forth between left and right on their own.many times turn signals don't work at all.once the wipers did not work.hazard lights sometimes do not work.i have had the multi-function switch replaced twice under warranty and twice again since.still have the issue.i believe this is a safety concern as the turn signals are telegraphing the wrong information to other drivers.also possibly related the oil pressure gauge in my instrument panel will not work 3-4 times a year.next time i start the truck it works fine.all this happens when the vehicle is in motion, and when stationary, forwards, backwards, straight, or turning.
Abs sensor comes on over 55mph. Exterior lighting keeps blowing bulbs and sometimes the tail lights completely shut off, sometimes brake lights inoperable. Windshield wipers work when they want to or only at the highest frequency. All occurs while vechicle is being driven in city street conditions other than on highway when i have to go above 55mph
The contact owned a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the damper door, which housed the vehicle's heater cord and defroster control, detached and caused the defrost to no longer function. The contact's visibility was impaired. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the damper door failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
Ventilation no longer will change from top vent to lower vent.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500 quadcab lwb.while driving 65 mph in below zero temperatures, the pvc return system causes the vehicle to squirt oil into the engine.as a result, the defrost system becomes clogged and fails.the windows were unable to defrost and left oil residue on the windshield.the failure has caused severe eye burnings, stomach pains, and choking of the occupants.the manufacturer stated that there was no mechanical failure and no parts available.they were unable to determine and correct the failure.when the parts arrive, the repair will cost $400.the manufacturer also advised the contact to drive in temperatures above zero degrees.the failure and current mileages were 70,050.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving in a snow storm at speeds of approximately 5 mph, the defrost system suddenly became inoperable. The vehicle was moved off the roadway and left at the site because the defrost system would not clear the windows. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was contacted and a report was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were approximately 87,000. The vin was unavailable. ..updated 01/16/2013 the consumer repaired the vehicle. The plastic hinge on the defroster. Updated 1/28/2013

I just bought a 2005 dodge ram 1500 the air control box door broke so the air only blows out the ventsno defrost it gets hard 2 see when it rains and is humid.
Driving at approximately 35 mph one of the defroster vents broke and fell into the ductwork.later that day noticed the dash had cracked. As this problem has just started on my truck i have seen from other dodge rams where this will progress and the dash will fall in, damaging wires and circuits.this is a potential fire hazard as well as possibly causing systems such as headlights, etc. To stop working when needed most.dodge informed me that if they looked at the dash, and i decided not to pay to fix the dash, they would charge me $85 for their time.that is not acceptable on so many levels.dodge should be forced to do something about this.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500.while driving approximately 30 mph she turned on the air conditioner and noticed that there was a minimal amount of air coming out of the vents.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where she was informed that a flap within the air vents was blocking the air flow. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure continued to occur.the failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 100,000.
About 1:00 pm on september 26th i opened the front drivers side door on my 2005 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi, swb quadcab laramie to look fro some papers.

Awaiting an answer.
I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The windshield wipers work incorrectly. They may work fine or they may stop half way and quit, or not even work at all! i had the same issue with my old 1997 chevy s-10 truck, and it was fixed under a recall. My dodge has the exact same issue.
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the windshield wipers would not function. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who advised that water was leaking into the wiper motor causing it to freeze and become inoperable.

My sister was in a fatal car accident june 23rd 2015. About a week and a half after her death we received a recall for the trucks rear axle pinion nut. Then a week after that we received another recall in the mail regarding the driver airbag inflator. During the incident her trucks right rear tire was snapped at the axle leaving us to believe that the pinion nut was loose and caused this rear axle to seize and break. In the crash all of the airbags failed to deploy. The pinion nut recall was issued in february of 2015 and we are questioning why it took chrysler 5 months to provide us with this information.
I have reported this issue several times now, i took my vehicle to dealership for replacement of pinion nut on driveshaft to prevent the driveshaft from seperating from the rear end of the truck.my vehicle continues to lock up, rear wheels will lock up when vehicle in put in reverse or in drive, this issue is related to the driveshaft pinion (seperation) and could cause a catastrophic collision endangering my family and any other vehichle in close vicinity of mine while driving.i am afraid to drive my truck due to this issue, i have also considered what will happen when my truck is catapulted from this issue, hoping that my family will be able to file a class action lawsuit against chrysler/dodge for ignoring mine complaints and refusing to fix the problem, once i am killed in an accident from this recall issue.i am very upset that i am not getting any help from dodge for this issue.i know i'm just the little one who bought your product, and care none about me and my family, however,you can and will be sued if i am in an accident due to this recall issue,(my rear axle locking up therefore locking up my rear wheels).everytime i try to move my vehicle, i hear a loud "boom" in the rear of the vehicle and my rear wheels lock up and vehicle won't move.i will hear a loud "boom" in the rear end of the truck while driving.i am very afraid to drive the truck due to this recall issue, and due to the fact that my wheels continously seize up.this has happened at least 20 times in the past month, thank god i have not yet been catapulted, i fear though that it will happen very soon.
I purchased a 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4 2 years ago with 19,000 miles on odometer. I noticed roaring noise and attributed the noise to tires or fact it was 4x4. Soon truck began to shudder violently while braking. I made appointment to have the truck inspected at a reputable repair shop. The shop called and said that the wheel bearings on the front of truck had failed due to lack of grease and had to replaced along with rotors that were warped due to intense heat. Total bill was almost $800 which i paid. I contacted dodge and informed them of the situation. I also informed them that i felt that 2005 trucks should be included on recall list along with 2006 models with same problem. I was told there is no recall on 2005s and dodge was not responsible for repairs due to expired warranty. Wheel bearing failure is dangerous because entire wheels have been known to separate from vehicle and brake locking or complete failure can result from intense heat caused by the defective wheel bearings.
While driving on a side street going no more than 25 miles an hour i suddenly the ability to drive my truck. It spun out a total of 3 times before going over a curb and hitting a tree.it was determined that there was a complete failure of the rear axle and i could not of controlled or caused the accident.
Rear axle/wheels: grinding -squeaking - tic/tic - chirping: have all service records.should have been repaired/replaced under warranty, orrecalled if the case.maintained at.by dealer on 3000 mile service basis.changed transmission fluid, axle fluid and tires twice.
I was driving on the interstate with my family enroute to south carolina when i started hearing a noise and felt a little vibration on the pedal at first i thought i may have ran over something. Then all of a sudden i just heard a boom and the truck just started fish tailin.luckily there werent any vehicles around me at the time, i was able to get to the side of the shoulder. When i looked under the vehicle the drive shaft had come completely out and there was smoke and oil leaking. When we got the truck to theshop and they looked it over the pinion had come completely a loose the seal was shot and chunks of the gears inside was mangled, the transfer case was cracked from the impact of when the drive shaft came apart.i also learned that the truck had a recall on it for this same problem.i managed to get the truck towed back to ny to my mechanic shop.where we have been trying to get dodge to do something enregard to the repairs. What we have been told was that the recall doesnt include my month! my year make and model but not my month. Yet i have the same issue as what is stated in the recall.
I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500,4x4,i have had this for 5 years and the whole back of the wheel well is rotted out,really really bad. As i drive around i see all theses same year dodges have the same problem i have noticed underneath the wheel well there is holes they never filled in when truck was built that's where the rust and corrosion builds up from the salt ,water, and snow,,very unhappy with this situation. Was hoping there can be something done about this problem now i have to fix this.
I recently had a investigator inspect my vehicle that broke the right rear axle. Chrysler got back to me and claimed the break was not from there recall. Chrysler avoided my whole complaint of defective material. I was not relying on recalls but the material is not right. I had a couple of professional welders look at the axle and was informed that the break was on a weld, which should have been the strongest point and that the material looks porous. I have already filed a claim on this matter, which totaled my truck due to the axle breaking.see also 11031993
The contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the rear wheels seized and the drive shaft detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.the vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
Complete failure of the right front wheel bearing causing the wheel assembly to collapse.
I was at the stop sign on the braga bridge in ma.i started to enter traffic when there was a loud bang and then a bunch of banging, i instantly stopped on the bridge just past the stop sign.i put the truck in park and shut off the engine,i jumped out of the truck but it began to roll back.i had my wife hold the break while i checked.the truck would roll backwards but not forwards.the drive shaft was lying on the ground.we had to wait for a tow truck to move the truck.a flat bed showed up and could not get the truck to roll forward.he then continued to upset me by dragging the truck onto the flat bed as it was the only way to move it.
While driving and getting ready to make a rightturn the passenger side front tire made a noise and fell off from vehicle, causing me to skid on the axle. Tore up frame, axle
2005 dodge ram 1500 truck 4x2 quad, was in motion at posted highway speed, with minimal wind present.as an eyewitness & owner of the vehicle, the driver suddenly lost control of the vehicle, rolling the truck 4 -5 times before landing on its top (upside down). Damage throughout was severe and extensive. No airbags deployed and both occupants were wearing their safety belts. Front passenger head rest ripped away from seat and was found about 100 yards away from accident scene, stuck in a bush. Right rear tire (passenger side), snapped off and broke away from the rear axel. Tire was found more than 100 yards away from the totaled vehicle & tire was not blown out. Concerns about 2 safety recalls on this vehicle is the reason for submitting complaint: recall involving a problem/defect with the air bag deployment, and recall concerning a rear axel pion nut coming loose while in motion & causing rear wheel to completely break away from vehicle.defect could suddenly cause driver to lose complete control, causing vehicle to crash and/or violently rollover. This vehicle was serviced for both recalls, twice.however, in this rollover crash that occurred, the rear wheel with brake system still attached, completely snapped off the rear axel.also, the insurance company did an estimate to repair vehicle, but did not include or mention a repair charge for the right rear wheel or the rear axel.the tail gate was also ripped off of the truck and was found about 75 yards away from the totaled vehicle.no fatalities resulted from this horrific crash, but my son who was the passenger, did suffer serious and permanent injuries, which include a head injury (tbi), multiple fractures to his ctl-spine, injured right foot, leg and hip, and abrasions and deep scrapes throughout his body.the driver, my sons girlfriend, suffered scrapes and bruising, but no serious injury.

09/01/2017 traveling east bound on hwy 12 in san joaquin county at 11:30 pm while drivingat 55 mph in between 2 jersey walls i turned left and hit the brakes hard to avoid a broken down vehicle. (note broken down vehicle had no flashers, flairs or any other warning) while applying the brakes the pedal went to the floor. I started bouncing back and forth off the walls. Air bags deployed, i was airborne at one point & actually thought i was going to die and when i came to a stop i was facing the wrong direction on the hwy.. I started my vehicle to move over to the side of the road and it wouldn't move. I proceeded to walk around the vehicle and noticed the right rear wheelwas missing.i believe when my brake pedal went to the floor that's when i lost the wheel. Chp called tow truck and said solo non injury accident no report needed i didn't realize and now it's been brought to my attention that the axle shaft broke on a weldand looks like there were air bubbles in the steel.i don't know if you have had any other issues with axle shafts, but i would like to file a claim. I believe the wreck was much worse due to the axle shaft breaking. Truck is totaled with a twisted frame.see also 11073246
Driving during inclement weather event, heard a pop in the area of the right front wheel. Assumed it was ice or snow.within the next 20 miles, slight vibration began and grinding noise heard.parked vehicle for week while out of town.returned drove to work, approx 22 miles, problem persisted and got worse, this was during another snow event.decided to seek assistance from local dealership, refused immediate attention, set up appointment for jan. 4, 2010.called local repair shop near home.could get me in immediately.attempted to drive to repair shop.right from wheel bearing failed, causing damage to hub and axle.had to be hauled in because the wheel separated from axle.caused tire to ride up into upper control arm and destroyed tire.searched internet and found that 2006 dodge rams had been recalled for similar problems and that 2002 thru 2008 dodge rams that had replacements with specific brands had been recalled.my vehicle had only 53,412 miles on it when the bearing assembly failed.it has cost me over $600 in repairs that were not covered by the "70,000 mile limited drivetrain warranty."the replaced parts are available and in my possession.it seems to me this is a fairly common occurrence in dodge pickups of many model years including 2005 both 2 and 4 wheel drive.
While driving down the road the truck just stalls for no reason. I lose all control. I almost hit a car. I went over the curb into someone's yard. I have seen hundreds of complaints from dodge owners with the same exact problem. There is something wrong with that model. The rpm's jump and the truck just dies. Its happened to me on the freeway, on rural roads, and city streets. This is going to cause somebody serious injury. I parked my truck and stopped driving it because it is not safe to drive. Something needs to be done immediately.
I just replaced the driver side wheel bearing, two years ago it was the passenger side. I have spoken to three other ram owners who have had the same experience.
On june 7 2014 we we're driving to a landscape business to purchase some landscape stones and about 100 feet before the entrance of the business my driveshaft fell off my truck causing my rear wheels to completely lock up and nearly causing a catastrophic head on collision after the northbound vehicle had to swerve to miss my truck and almost hit a southbound vehicle head on.i had the truck towed to a nearby auto facility where it was looked at and confirmed that my complete rear differential was completely destroyed causing my vehicle to a complete stop once the driveshaft fell off.it cost me nearly $2000 to get it repaired.i also contacted chrysler via email and explained to them what had happened and their response was that there was nothing they could do and i was out of warranty. The technician at the auto facility that repaired my truck told me that he remembered something about a recall for that on the dodge trucks. I then did some research and discovered that on the newer models there was a recall but not on mine but exactly what happened to the trucks on recall (rear end differential lockup) is what happened to mine. It could have very easily killed somebody if the southbound vehicle hadn't reacted so quickly. My truck only has 66000 miles on it which is an average of only about 6000 miles a year.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)....updated 01/07/15 updated 6/11/2015
The front passenger wheel broke off at low speed. Seems that the lower control arm (axle) just snapped in two. No other vehicles where involved, pot holes or curb. The wheel broke off pulling everything apart inside the wheel well except for the brake line. The truck landed on top of the wheel preventing it from flipping over. I spoke with chrysler dodge and all though admitting that the lower control arm should never break said that it wasn't a defected part because i hadn't had my vehicle serviced through the dealership . This was a very serious and dangerous problem. If it wouldn't have been for only doing 15mph when it happened it would have caused serious injury and possible death. Dodge has a known problem with faulty ball joints but don't seem to care all though this may have been a preliminary problem leading up to the axle breaking in two.
Offset accident at approx 30 mph. Hit parked car. Damage to fender. Passenger wheel broke off. Also brake lines severed. Result is loss of control and ability to stop. Truck is at dealer for repairs. Should a wheel break off so easily. What are the standards. I have seen at least one other truck with the same damage.

I get it to dodge dealership in gwinnette they find out the drive shaft is bent and was never replaced from when it exploded the first time. It took chrysler a week to respond to the dealership in gwinnette on how to procede.its been 3 weeks havent gotten a return call from chrysler. No accommadations have been made for me.im stranded with no vehicle wasted my whole entire vacation. Vehicle still not repaired.
Steering almost completely locks up when not accelerating.left wheel does not move as much as right wheel as if it is separate.
I received a safety recall notice from dodge concerning the rear axle pinion nut and passenger air bag.i called the dodge dealer ([xxx]) in omaha, ne.i was informed the necessary repair parts are not available.they have no idea when or if these parts will be available.they tell me that a crash could occur and it is my decision whether to park the car or continue driving.this is not fair.i need a vehicle and cannot afford a new one.my truck is old but only has 46,000 miles on it.thank you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
About two weeks prior i stated to hear a scrapping sound like the brakes were worn down. The sound would come and go.then i parked the truck. I got ready to leave the business i was at.i pull out from the curb and went about 50 feet and the truck stopped.i back up a little then went forward and stopped again.i immediately pull into a parking lot and got out and checked the right front tire. It hung off the hub at a 45 degree angle.the next day i went back to see what was wrong.i jacked the truck up and the wheel came right off.the wheel bearings had melted into the hub.i have not notified any one about this.i bought the truck used 2 years ago from a dealer. So i do not know if i have original or replacement parts. It cost me over $300 to get the truck repaired.the guy that repaired it said this was his second one in a week. Now i have to get a front end alignment.my tire are wearing out on the inside.
Mt r front wheel seized and the whole wheel bearing assy broke in half and the wheel went flying off. This caused my vehicle to hit another car damaging both vehicles. No injuries.
After having been stopped at a stop sign, i made a right turn and accelerated to proceed straight for approximately 300 feet or so where i was going to make a left hand turn into a store parking lot. All of a sudden there was a whining sound and it felt like the engine was straining, there was a loud bang and thud as if i had run something over. The truck started "jerking" violently and came to an abrupt stop. As soon as i put the car in park, the loud noise stopped and the engine was idling normally as if there was no problem. I exited the vehicle and, to my shock, saw the drive shaft detached from the rear differential (the truck is a rear wheel drive) and laying on the street. Later on, with the key in the on position but the engine off, i put the car in neutral and some road workers tried to push it off the road. It would not budge. The rear wheels were locked. Suffice it to say, had i been traveling on the highway at 55-60 mph the results of the malfunction could have been disastrous. A recall need to be issued immediately before someone gets seriously injured or killed... ....updated 01/12/15updated 6/11/2015
On january 26, 2014, my truck with only 59,000 miles experienced sudden catastrophic failure of the front left wheel bearing hub assembly.the front left wheel bearing hub failure resulted in complete separation of the wheel hub and assembly from the truck.this major failure is similar to two previous nhtsa recalls on dodge ram 1500 trucks as outlined below.from my review of dodge message boards, this appears to be a broader issue than covered by the two previous nhtsa recalls.when i contacted the dodge dealership, they said my truck was not within the two recall classes.i believe this is a broader issue and request the nhtsa to further investigate to save the lives of individuals who have purchased this truck.two previous recall efforts:1) the nhtsa campaign number is 07v-038 (or 07v038000). Daimlerchrysler's dodge division is recalling 86,333 of its popular ram 1500 pickup trucks due to a potential failure of the front wheel bearing hub assembly. The recall, under the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa), involves every ram light-duty 2006 model year truck manufactured between november 7, 2005 and april 27, 2006. Three plants' output is involved: saltillo, mexico; fenton, missouri; warren, michigan. 2) nhtsa campaign id number: 10e040000 : federal-mogul is recalling certain carquest, national, and percision brand wheel hub assemblies, p/nos 515073 and 515073, sold for use as replacement equipment on model year 2002 through 2008 dodge ram 1500 pickup trucks. The inboard roll form used to maintain the hub assembly can fatigue resulting in noise and/or wheel separation on the two wheel drive (2wd) applications. The risk of these issues do not occur on the four wheel drive (4wd) applications, and installation on the 4wd applications are not part of this recall.
