Seatbelt in truck caught the door handle and locked so you cannot pull out more belt to get it off the handle. This also causes the door handle to be partially lifted which automatically unlocks and opens the door while the vehicle is parked or in motion. Even with the door cracked openas far as the belt will allow the belt will not release the handle and allow the door to open more then a few inches. If this was an accident a person could be trapped in the vehicle and not be able to get out without requiring additional equipment to cut the seatbelt or break a window. So far this has not been corrected on my vehicle we will take the truck to the dodge dealer tomorrow for now no one rides in the passenger seat. I suspect the seatbelt will need to be unbolted from the floor to unhook the belt off the door handle. I do have photos available and the issue can be replicated on the drivers and passengers doors.

The contact owns a 2009 dodge ram 3500.the contact purchased the vehicle brand new and discovered nhtsa campaign id number 09v005000 (steering: linkages: tie rod assembly).the manufacturer stated that they were not aware of this recall.there had been no failure to date.the current mileage was 212.
After backing out of my garage, at an approx. Speed of 1 mph, i turned the wheels to the left to run an errand, and the drivers side tie rod end broke. The drag link dropped and the wheel cocked to the full left. At this point i don't know if it caused any other damage. I spoke with the nearest dealer and was told that there are no recalls on this vehicle at this time. Unfortunately i need this vehicle and had to order a new tie rod end at a cost of $116.00. Bearing any other damage, i will also have to get an alignment, at an unknown cost at this time. Thank god that i had not been traveling at a higher rate of speed when this part decided to fail, because i am sure the outcome would not have been good.

Aluminum valve stem/tpms sensors on both front wheels corroded and failed at the same time causing two flat front tires and loss of steering.proceeded to repair shop to have all (4) valve stems and (2) front tires replaced.repair personnel informed us that this is an epidemic. According to them, in 2010, manufacturers became aware of this problem and began using rubber valve stem/tpms sensors.
