The airbag light in my truck came on in september of 2018.i have had it checked out and the airbag control module is not working. I have contacted dodge on numerous occasions to order the part however it has been on an indefinite backorder for the past few years. The last time i contacted the dealership was this past tuesday, february 23, 2021. I also contacted the chrysler care line in january 2021.i am aware that there was a civil action lawsuit against the manufacturer regarding this part dating back to around 2017.this is a significant safety issue because my truck does not have working airbags.i am asking for further assistance in fixing or settling this issue.
Air bag cluster light comes on and stays on for variable lengths. Vehicle has been taken to the dealership with no cause clearly determined as to why. After visit dealership emailed offer to trade up on vehicle. Issue remains open.

My vehicle hit a ditch and a tree nearly head on at approximately 40 mph. My airbag failed to deploy during this accident. I was very lucky not to be harmed, but things could have been much worse. I feel there is a dire need for a remedy to this issue. I feel unsafe every time i sit behind the wheel of this vehicle.
I purchased a new 2010 dodge 1500 ram pickup three weeks ago. Since that time intermediate the lights for the antilock brakes and traction control come on and off while driving down the road as well as several other electrical components not working or working off and on. I contacted the dealer and they informed me that i should pop the hood because the main electrical block under the hood on some have had not properly connected plugs on the back and they may vibrate loose and i should wiggle them around and see if that fixes the problem. I will take the truck in for them to try and repair but it appears to me that if the connector is loose on these that the power interruption to the circuit will make the abs and traction control systems inoperable for the period of time the lights are illuminated and could cause accidents if this occurs at the wrong time. I have pics and video of the issues. There is also to give a bigger scope of the blocks looseness no heated seat except driver no cooled seat except driver all 4 positions are supposed to be heated and cooled. The radio works off and on, the power pedals don't work at all. There is as a unrelated note an intermittent knock in the lower part of the engine.

Child seat tether strap anchor rings installed on 2010 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. The owner's manual clearly states in the child restraint installation sequence on page 75 paragraph 3 "pass each tether strap hook under the head restraint and through the loop of webbing behind the child seat" paragraph 4 states "route each tether strap to the anchor behind the center seat, and attach to the hook(s) to the metal ring" on page 76 as pictured item 1 the inner anchor strap ring(s) clearly shows the required anchor ring for the attachment of the child seat tether hook. The required 3 tether loop straps are installed as required but do not have the required metal anchor rings on either strap in order to attach the child car seat tether hook.this is a major safety issue for anyone wishing to properly install a child car/booster seat which has a tether strap for use.there is a major difference between the 2004 and 2010 dodge ram 1500 quad cab child restraint upper tether straps.the 2004 model year does have the inner anchor strap ring(s) installed for attaching the child seat tether strap hook.the part number for the 2004 upper tether strap is 55350981-ab.the 2010 model upper tether strap is 52029441-aa. If you put these two parts side by side the mounting of the brackets appear to be the same as far as mounting is concerned in the vehicle.the bracket for the 2004 model appears to be shorter in length than the 2010 model but the overall length of the parts are about the same. The webbing material on the 2010 model is made of a heavier quality (coarse thread) webbing material and the 2004 model has a webbing material (fine thread) similar to standard seat belt material.complaint beyond 2000 characters. 02/09/11

This truck shuts off when hitting bumps or if you jiggle the key in the ignition creating an unsafe condition at low and high speed shut-offs.the repair required the win module to be replaced.the win module replacement was required on another safety recall for other dodge ram 1500s, but not this one.the win module recall needs to be expanded to additional dodge ram units.also, this same problem was part of a recall on 2009 dodge journeys.the shutoff problem spans several dodge models with this type of ignition.i will be submitting a second complaint for another 2010 dodge ram with the same safety shut-off problem..

Electrical issues have been prevalent since the date of purchase in 2013. Must be a short in the entire truck somewhere. My lights on the passenger mirror blink all the time while running and or opening the door. Hubs/cv axleshave had to replace both driver and passenger side 3 times each now. This vehicle in not used and abused. I take care of it with regular maintenance. I have heard from others who own same year model and have seen online on forums others have had these issues also. This causes the cv, hubs, and rotors/brakes to be replaced.

I can remove my key fobe from the ignition while vehicle is still running. Also vehicle will shut down while im driving with any slight bump. I know other dodges have this ignition problem and are on a recalk but my truck seems to be the one that was left out of that recall which doesnt make sense.. Its a saftey issue that should be recalled on all impacted vehicles.
Binding condition in win module results in key falling out while truck is running.chrysler issued recall 10v200000, but not all affected vehicles were covered.the vin number for my truck was not included, even though chrysler is aware of the problem.
When i tried to start the truck, nothing happened. There was no dash lights, could not even put the truck in another gear to try and make something happen. I could turn the key to on but nothing would work. Windows, dash lights. It was as if there was no battery. When i was getting out of the truck to check the battery, all the dash lights came on and everything seemed to work and the truck started right up and drove ok. This happened a few weeks earlier so i replaced the battery because it was five years old. It had the same exact conditions as before.

Dodge seems to have a known issue causing the headlights to not work that is unrelated to the condition of the lamp itself or a fuse. Apparently a $500+ part is required. Many people cannot afford this repair andgo without headlights instead causing obvious safety issues.

This vehicle has a binding wireless ignition module (win) resulting in a condition where the key may be removed from the ignition switch prior to placing the shifter in park. Exactly the same as nhtsa recall reference #10v200000. This vehicle simply does not have the matching part numbers of the recall. But exactly the same thing happened and wireless ignition node (win) needs to be replaced.

"key damage" words come up on the dashboard and the truck will not start. Key batteries were replaced and the vehicle still want start.
The steering wheel pops and clicks when turning and will suddenly changes lanes.when putting it in park the gear shift will not allow the key to come out of the ignition switch.the ram 1500 should have a steering recall just like the rest of them they use the same parts.
While i was driving 30 mph on a city street, my truck turned off unexpectedly and disabled the power steering and power braking making it very difficult to maneuver. I did notate the throttle control warning light did come on. This happened to me again in a parking garage while i was leaving, again disabling the power steering and power braking, though i was fortunate enough not to hit any cars while i was turning. My ignition switch 'win' module now acts up occasionally and the truck will turn over for a second, and then immediately turn off. I believe the root cause is the win module. Please reference recall # 11v139000 and 10v200000 as this exactly describes how my truck was in motion and was shut off due to a win module defect.

I was driving home christmas day 2014. Truck just shut off in middle of road and came to a rest. I did manage to restart it and when i did i received all kinds of error lights. Then truck shut down again. Had it towed to garage and mechanic determined it was a bad fuel pump. Now all the warning lights stay on and will not reset. Serv 4wd light. Trac control light. Reverse assistance sensors are inoperative.the fuel cap light. Abs light. Two tpms lights. Eps system light. Cruise control does not work.... And truck constantly shuts off while driving. I have replaced abs sensor and fuel cap but to no avail. Please help.
Head bolts that break and transmission stuck in fourth gear and now cam shaft sensors had repairs done but it keeps happening bought truck new in motion every time this time it was on 1/22/21 others in 17-18-19-21
Rocker panels are rusting from the inside out. Causing large holes to form. While in park, rolled the drivers side window down heard a metal clank and the window would no longer go up or down, as the window regulator fell apart. While driving on a country road, i noticed slight difficulty in shifting. The check engine light came on. Upon having the code read, the transmission selenoid is stuck open. Tie rod ends are loosening as well. So many issues on a 6 year old vehicle
Approximately a year ago i began experiencing lighting problems, flickering all around; and with truck off the remote would randomly, continuously lock the doors. I finally broke the remote to make it stop. Now my driver side tail light won't work. I needed my inspection/registration but couldn't get it until the light is repaired. My mechanic said it's the fuse box, said it's in horrible condition. More problems are possible. Parts & labor will be near $850. Various forums are inundated with similar complaints. A friend of a co-worker's truck burnt to the ground in his driveway (and singed the house) because the fuse box didn't tell the fuel pump to shut off. With that and many other complaints i've read i'm now very fearful for my safety. Dodge/chrysler needs to replace the fuse box immediately. Thank you for your time.
My truck has issues with all the actuators for heating and cooling. It does it right when u start it up, and also while your driving. I can't switch fan modes, i have no defrost since they won't switch. The one actuator that might be working stays clicking. I know they had a recall on this (k-17) there saying it does not apply to my vin,but clearly it's doing the same thing as the recall.

Tipm computer failure caused airbag light to arm. Have had three tipms installed for transfer case troubles last several months.
The contact owns a 2010 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts with several unknown warning lights illuminated. Additionally, on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to columbus chrysler dodge jeep ram (2806 23rd st, columbus, ne 68601) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective engine switch. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 122,000.
The hvac system in the truck failed. Air will not flow through the dash face vents or defrost vents. Brought to dealer for repair. Dealer said that one or two "mode door actuators need to be replaced" they said the dash board needed to be removed and it could cost several thousand dollars. Upon researching the problem i found there was a recall issued for the mode door actuators and to reprogram the control head software (k17). My truck had the software update in 2012. The dealer refused to replace the mode door actuators under recall because they said the software update was performed. I called chrysler customer service and asked about the k17 recall. They said they will not cover the repair because i refused further diagnostics. The only other diagnostics the dealer said needed to be done was to remove the dashboard to see if it was one or two bad actuators and the cost in labor to remove the dash would be several thousand dollars. They know what the problem is they just don't know how many actuators are defective. The cost of the parts is minimal but the labor is not. I feel that dodge/chrysler should make good on the recall repair as it is a hazard not being able to clear frost from the windshield due to the defective parts.
The key ignition delays when turning on all dashboard lights and keeps other lights on that should not be on.
Automatic door locks lock and unlock at will when fob is in hand or pocket and sometimes won't unlock at all. This problem exists when either fob is used . Replaced batteries but still happens. Suspect defective "totally integrated power module" tipm
At times when trying to start the pickup all goes dead i can take the key out and reinstall and it will start.
Horns began honking randomly when the truck was off and no one was in itor while it was being driven. At one time they began honking while in traffic causingpanic to the surrounding travelers. I had to disconnect them which now poses a safety risk to me and my family.dealer says it is the tipmwhich chrysler is aware of and has it she recalls on other models with the same configuration as my truck.now the truck has to be inspected for safety to keep the license plates correct and it will not pass without performing a $1200 repair on a part that is known to be defective. Also, the fuel pumps stopped working and were replaced under warranty but the technician said the problem was in the pome but the technician said the problem was in the pumpin fact it was the tipmbut since there was no recall and the truck was them out of warranty it was up to me to pay for the repair.

Dodge fobik, my truck uses the same ignition switch as the journey, and while driving my truck will shut off without moving the switch. Bumps shut my truck off, this switch is ridiculously dangerous. I wish it was a normal switch. It has shut off 4 times this week, if you touch the key it shuts off. It is not a safe system. It started this very intermittently when my father owned the truck at 53k miles.
Exhaust manifold bolts keep breaking hyway miles let's exhaust leak into cab hazardous to your breathing could cause death with over exposure everybody i talk to with this truck have the same probably
While driving the vehicle on a 50 mph frontage road and decelerating to turn on a side street, the truck stalled suddenly at the apex of the turn, gave a warning sound and a message flashed on the dashboard screen stating "low oil pressure".no other lights came on and no check engine light or code was stored in the computer.when the engine stalled i lost power brakes, power steering and (obviously) engine power.the engine restarted easily when the vehicle was placed in neutral.this has happened several times, some at the same location or locations with similar speed/deceleration/turning conditions.the dealership is unable to recreate the stall and thus unable to fix the problem.i have contacted them 2 times and took the vehicle to them once.they only offered a series of preventive maintenances like cleaning the intake manifold.
The remote ignition module has failed and there is no start, no power to ignition switch, vehicle will not start the fob comes out of the ignition, when in the run position, and shorts out the main fuse panel under the hood.

Head lights and tail lights go out when driving. Dash lights remain on. They will come back on in a few miles and also if i stop the truck and restart. Playing with the switch doesn't make any difference. I have had it in the chrysler repair shop 4 times to search for an error but none are shown. Chrysler refuses to do anything since they cannot determine what is wrong. I feel this is a serious safety problem and should be treated as such. I also had the side outside heated mirror replaced because it had a burnt spot in the lower corner. Uconnect has also been affected at times right before the lights go out. The electronic vehicle information center displayed "not trained" one morning when i opened the door to get in.
A/c did not put out cold air.issues with a acuater door behind the dashboard at 15k. Then at about 36k the a/c was putting out warm air again. The dealer replaced a regulator for the compressor.the truck has 75k and the evaperative cooler behind the dashboard is leaking and needs replaced.
Have to jiggle the key in the ignition to get the engine to start.have had the engine shut off while going down the road usually when hitting a bump or turning and have to pull over, put the transmission in parkand jiggle the key and restart the engine.

As i was approaching truck moving same direction in other lane (4 lane divided) it had a rack on top with metal siding on it not tied down cause the wind caught it a it came right into my path. I brake and steered right. And it was all over. I took it to dealer told them that it was not right they checked had not heard of any problems. Then it happend again doing 65 i was sideways into on coming traffic in split second and stopped within 150 feet if i had not counter steered as fast as anyone could. In both cases it would have rolled. Told dealer it should not be on the road. They wanted to test drive my rt truck and see if they could get it sideways i told them not on my insurance or without a test track and a wet skidpad and roll cage. Bottom line my truck is unsafe and have been waiting for something to happen. I do not drive it nowhere but work with both hands on the wheel and stability control off. I think the computer that senses a skid is not right like it made the wrong tire lock up. My truck has done it twice. Bet it can again if you want to check. Please get on this before some one ishurt or worse like i told the dealer. It could have been your wife and kids in the truck or on the road coming at a truck that was out of control and no fault of there own. I know how test for this problem.
Defroster stop blowing on windshield, however, itwould blow out other vents, tech found that the mode 2 actuator had an internal open circuit, dealer removed and replaced the mode 2 actuator.i submitted documentation for reimbursement since this is a known problem. [xxx]. My claim was denied , i was told my vehicle did not have a recall.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The lifters and cam have failed, based on the information you can gather online these days- seems to be a design factor and does not matter how well you take care of your engine (maintenance) this will eventually happen! this work/parts should be replaced at no cost (re-call) to the vehicle owner. I have not made the repairs due to the lack of funds for the repair.
Exhaust manifold leak, bolts break, causing an exhaust manifold leak, making a loud clicking noise that increases with time.
Exhaust manifold bolts inferior! hearing a ticking sound, much like a tappet, i took my vehicle to morlan dodge in cape girardeau, mo. They examined the problem and said it is probably due to the bolts used, loosening up or even breaking.further inspection is needed.my truck has 54002 miles on it.dealer in cape girardeau says it has seen this problem before due to manifold bolts causing leaks.54,000 miles and the bolts are failing?? and no recalls to replace them???why not?the bolts are said to be of low quality aluminum alloy. ??why haven't the company issued a recall to replace these defective bolts???
Exhaust manifolds are leakinggas.i can smell exhaust gas inside the truck causing drowsiness on long rides.
While driving the vehicle on a 50 mph frontage road and decelerating to turn on a side street, the truck stalled suddenly at the apex of the turn, gave a warning sound and a message flashed on the dashboard screen stating "low oil pressure".no other lights came on and no check engine light or code was stored in the computer.when the engine stalled i lost power brakes, power steering and (obviously) engine power.the engine restarted easily when the vehicle was placed in neutral.this has happened several times, some at the same location or locations with similar speed/deceleration/turning conditions.the dealership is unable to recreate the stall and thus unable to fix the problem.i have contacted them 2 times and took the vehicle to them once.they only offered a series of preventive maintenances like cleaning the intake manifold.
Truck has shut off at lower speeds while turning twice in 30 days. Very scary and serious potential for accident. Truck has 114k miles
Exhaust manifold leaking.
Dodge 5.7l hemi engines have 2 common, recurring issues.1) engine lifters fail prematurely causing excessive wear on the camshaft lobes. The end result is a costly repair having to replace the camshaft and lifter.a check engine light will come on and will throw a p030# code for a misfire on cylinder(s).when the misfire happens the vehicle starts shacking horribly.i have seen a report that a 2016 with15k miles had the issue all the way back to 2009 with only 72k miles and several in between.there are multiple forums, threads, and comments on this issue.it seems very common and dodge should be providing assistance outside of warranties.yet they choose to do nothing except lose customers.2) the recurring exhaust manifold bolts breaking.mine was repaired once under warranty and is currently having the issue again.again dodge seems to do nothing to improve the materials to prevent the issue from recurring.
The exhaust manifold bolted to the engine block is leaking at 75000 miles, upon further investigation this is due to bolts breaking off at the engine block level. Bolts are shearing inside the engine hole threads. This is a very distinct and reoccurring issue plagued by every dodge ram owner. Please perform a search at google (or any other engine), keywords "dodge ram exhaust manifold leak"(https://www.google.com/search?q=dodge+ram+exhaust+manifold+leak&oq=dodge+ram).there is a very loud distinct ticking noise coming from the right side engine manifold. After 30-60 seconds it almost disappears; similar to any other video or complaint found on the www. Some have called their dodge dealer complaining about it and even the dealers are recognizing that it is a flaw but a recall will never happen!
The exhaust manifold bolts have sheered off just like they do on most 5.7 hemi rams.also, the blend door actuators/blend door are broken just like in lots of other rams/chrysler vehicles.
There is a consistent ticking noise in the engine when truck is stationary.the noise is present when engine is both cold and hot.

The contact owns a 2010 dodge ram 1500. While driving at an unknown speed, the steering wheel shook violently. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and discovered that the front tie rod assembly failed, which caused the steering bearing assembly to fail. The steering assembly and the front tie rod assembly were replaced. The contact also stated that the engine stalled numerous times while driving; however, the independent mechanic was unable to locate a failure code for the engine failure. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v529000 (steering). The failure mileage was 83,600.
Takata recall, i have a ticking! knocking noise coming from passenger side of vehicle. When start vehicle and while drive ticking sound over 2 weeks have gotten louder.
At about 65000 miles i started hearing a "ticking" sound from the engine, when it was cold. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and i was told that the exhaust manifold bolts had broken, this causes exhaust fumes to enter the passenger compartment during the winter when using the heater, and the summer using the air conditioner. . i believe that the problem was caused by chrysler using substandard materials for these bolts. This seems to be a chronic problem with the "hemi" engine, so much so that there are you tube videos showing how to repair the problem. The dealer estimated the repair cost to be $ 1800.00. As time goes by i felt that this should be a recall, due to the fact that this was never a problem with older vehicles, and it happened around 65,000 miles though i took it in around 70000 miles for the estimate. These bolts should outlast the useful life of the vehicle if they were made of the proper materials or were properly heat treated. It seems to be a regular occurring problem with dodge rams with the hemi engine. The date of the estimate is approximate.
My trucks exhaust manifold gaskets have already failed at 70,000 miles, i have a terrible exhaust leak and i know this truck has never been beat for an exhaust leak to happen this early there has been many only forms with the same issues some where able to get it by the dealer at no charge.https://youtu.be/nd3c_ji7paa
Cam and lifters wearing out on the 5.7hemi . Complaints all over, dealer told me it is a common problem. 8000.00 for reman engine. 4500.00 for repair on cam and lifters only. Perfectly good truck parked because i am disabled due to injuries from a fall and can't get any help from dodge to repair

Unintended acceleration while driving into garage. Engine rpm increased while my foot was on the brake. Nothing happened luckily i had the brake applied so i didn't hit anything. Also on the highway a couple of times the engine rpm increases by itself momentarily causing the truck to surge.
5.7 hemi engines are wearing cams out. The lifters are siezing up and wearing the lobes off the cam. The truck looses power when driving until i can afford to replace the engine. This happening with all 5.7 engines dodge knows there is a problem but offers no help. I am on fixed income always taken care of my truck. I feel that if dodge knows there's a problem they should help out .
Rear differential/pinion failure which was replaced in 2014 according to dodge and has failed again january 2018. Loud noise is heard from rear of truck. It was diagnosed by mechanic, now dealer wants to verify. Engine has had to have new cams put in. Also has had failed exhaust manifold bolts. Exhaust assembly has a tendency to fall off the truck for no reason. It separates and comes apart.
Exhaust manifold bolts sheering off inside engine block allowing manifold to unseat making ticking noise and allowing exhaust to escape outside the vehicles muffler.very expensive to replace the faulty bolts because most must be drilled out of the block.

Takata recall. There was a recall for the year and model of my truck, but not my vin number.the same exact problem that the recall was made for is what going on with my truck. I have went to the dealership and they confirmed that have broken bolts on my exhaust manifold gasket, but it is not under the recall, because my vin does not state it.the truck has the same parts as all the other trucks, but is not considered under the recall although it is the same problem as the others. The defect is costing major money on my behalf on something that is out of my control and should have been fixed by the manufacture.

Camshaft failure.
I was driving the truck for 30 minutes i park the truck across from department store i comeback trying to start and doesn't make a sound lights and everything work just fine i did try a new battery and still don't make a noise.
The 2010 dodge ram 1500 has suspension problems with the front ball joints being too small. This leads to my truck skipping on the highway and any bumpy roads and has caused me many, many times to suddenly loose control. On bumpy dirt roads it can happen at 35-45 mph. On the highway it is very bad between 55-60 mph if you hit any bump or even in a tight curve. This truck is highly unstable. When pulling a boat where less weight is on the front wheels, it multiplies the problem. I am forced to never go faster than 50mph on any curves that are remotely sharp.the second problem is not a active safety problem but is a horrible problem for emission. My truck has the infamous hemi tick. This is caused by faulty manifold bolts that either back off, rust off, or break off leaving gaps between the head and the manifold. Co2 is leaking out of the engine prior to going into the exhaust system. The epa should get involved...
I was informed by the chrysler dealer that my vehicle would not pass safety inspection.the reason for the failure was because of exhaust manifold bolts that have broken, therefore the seal between the manifold and the engine had been compromised.my vehicle has only 60000 miles on it.after further research it is evident that this is a known issue with my vehicle and engine combination.there are vast amounts of complaints concerning this exact issue and how to remedy this design flaw.i attempted to reach out to chrysler so they could perform a goodwill gesture repair.my attempt was denied, with no explanation as to why.the issue with the exhaust manifold bolts breaking creates a serious safety and environmental concern, and chrysler is at fault and needs to take responsibility for using inferior bolts or improper engineering techniques.the evidence is clear, and while costly, chrysler should bare the cost to make these vehicles safe and environmentally friendly.
As i'm driving,the truck just shuts off when coming to a stop sign or red light for a few weeks now. Today i came with in inches of my life when as i was turning into a driveway it just shut off. On social media i have seen quite a few complaints with this same issue. But yet there are no recalls for this problem.
Truck will start, run, and drive.but while you are driving with no warning it will die, leaving you without power steering and power brakes.put in neutral and it will start back up.you can't guess when it will die, or how many tries it will take to start again. It doesn't matter if you are in motion, turning, going fast or slow, or stationary.the problem happens in all situations.
92,000 miles and am replacing the exhaust manifold bolts for the 4th time.extended warranty has covered up to now, but next time and all the times after will be on me.
We have had this truck back just after we purchased it new and they put a new torque converter in and that didn't fix the vibration. We have had it back several times after that . We were then told that when they came up with a fix we were be contacted. Its still vibrating and haven't heard of any fixes.
While driving my 2010 ram, with 85,000, my engine blew without warning as my family and i traveled down the road at 40 mph into oncoming traffic. There were no warnings whatsoever, no check engine or oil lights, etc.and now i'm told i owe between 4-9 k for a new engine.

I purchased a new 2010 dodge 1500 ram pickup three weeks ago. Since that time intermediate the lights for the antilock brakes and traction control come on and off while driving down the road as well as several other electrical components not working or working off and on. I contacted the dealer and they informed me that i should pop the hood because the main electrical block under the hood on some have had not properly connected plugs on the back and they may vibrate loose and i should wiggle them around and see if that fixes the problem. I will take the truck in for them to try and repair but it appears to me that if the connector is loose on these that the power interruption to the circuit will make the abs and traction control systems inoperable for the period of time the lights are illuminated and could cause accidents if this occurs at the wrong time. I have pics and video of the issues. There is also to give a bigger scope of the blocks looseness no heated seat except driver no cooled seat except driver all 4 positions are supposed to be heated and cooled. The radio works off and on, the power pedals don't work at all. There is as a unrelated note an intermittent knock in the lower part of the engine.

Upon starting vehicle i heard some type of gear grinding/knocking, sometimes it happens when i turn the key off too. Along with this i noticed i had no heating control which kept me from de fogging my wind shield or having heat in general. Could be a big issue if the windows were iced over. Has happened randomly over the last several weeks and i have finally disconnected the blend door actuator located behind the glove compartment. Will contact dealership.
Exhaust resonance at 1500 rpm on 5.7 liter mds vvt engine. Have made 7 trips to two dealerships. Dealerships unable to correct. Have contacted dodge three times. Manufacturer thinks it is connected with the mds but will not cover under warranty. Dealerships can not say if this will have an adverse affect on the engine over time.
Exhaust manifold bolts break off and the truck develops exhaust leak...the truck then has no control of regulating exhaust gases and next you will get a damaged catalytic converter. This will also cause oxygen sensor to change mixture. These bolts are breaking on the engine, on their own. The bolts are too small for a exhaust area bolt. The internet is full of forums about this issue and dodge has done nothing to address. Model 5.7 hemi has had issues from 2005 -2012. These bolts can not stand up to the heat and stress for the intended application.

Approximately a year ago i began experiencing lighting problems, flickering all around; and with truck off the remote would randomly, continuously lock the doors. I finally broke the remote to make it stop. Now my driver side tail light won't work. I needed my inspection/registration but couldn't get it until the light is repaired. My mechanic said it's the fuse box, said it's in horrible condition. More problems are possible. Parts & labor will be near $850. Various forums are inundated with similar complaints. A friend of a co-worker's truck burnt to the ground in his driveway (and singed the house) because the fuse box didn't tell the fuel pump to shut off. With that and many other complaints i've read i'm now very fearful for my safety. Dodge/chrysler needs to replace the fuse box immediately. Thank you for your time.

One day all of the sudden the headlights won't come on. Neither when turned on or in auto. And then all of the sudden started working again without even popping the hood up. A couple days later, during night time, i went to switch the low beam to high beam and puff, no lights at all while driving 40mph in a hill country side in a pitch black night. I switched back to low beam and nothing... Scary times... I've ended up pulling over the side (only half of the truck since it was on the hill side), turn hazard blinkers on ... And besides the dangerous of the situation i was not going to move without having any type of illumination. Less than a minute later, the lights come back on by it self.... Talking about annoying and scary times.since then, i have changed the light bulbs twice, rechecked the wires, used the brush wire on the connectors and the issue still happening. But since there are not "fuses" anymore and the lights are controlled by the tipm, i don't have the $1350 the chrysler dealer wants for a new tipm unit and re-programming it. Ridiculous!! and the worse part is... They cannotguarantee the issue will be resolved. What a 50 cent fuse could fix now it is part of something integrated that is faulty and render the whole system useless at night time.these past 2 days, the headlights won't come up at all, i checked with a voltmeter and there is no power coming up on either of the headlamps connectors (left or right side).
Dodge seems to have a known issue causing the headlights to not work that is unrelated to the condition of the lamp itself or a fuse. Apparently a $500+ part is required. Many people cannot afford this repair andgo without headlights instead causing obvious safety issues.
Head lights and tail lights go out when driving. Dash lights remain on. They will come back on in a few miles and also if i stop the truck and restart. Playing with the switch doesn't make any difference. I have had it in the chrysler repair shop 4 times to search for an error but none are shown. Chrysler refuses to do anything since they cannot determine what is wrong. I feel this is a serious safety problem and should be treated as such. I also had the side outside heated mirror replaced because it had a burnt spot in the lower corner. Uconnect has also been affected at times right before the lights go out. The electronic vehicle information center displayed "not trained" one morning when i opened the door to get in.
Took the truck in to replacea headlight bulb and was told thetpim/onboard computer needs to be replaced. This could be dangerous i found out as the computer could shut down the vehiclewhile it'sbeing driven which happened to my wife in the truck 2 years ago. We were told at the time we needed a new battery.

Driving up a steep mountain highway when truck lurched violently twice and came to a complete stop in the middle of a switchback corner with a horrible dragging sound and smoke everywhere.the truck would not go forward or backward. Oil and driveline parts were all over the highway. Dented the gas tank (possibly put a hole in the gas tank), we were told the gas tank was damaged and needed replaced.the rear-end pinion nut came loose and locked up the rear end causing the driveline to fall out onto the highway, tore a hole in the transfer case and damaged the gas tank.we were simply lucky there were other motorists on same highway that could stop and help us avoid a major collision on the steep, blind corner/on the mountain highway.dodge is giving us the "run around" on getting this fixed.they finally repaired the truck, putting the same, but new faulty part that is in the middle of a recall process, into our truck and wanting us to be happy with it.we are not. We do not feel safe driving the truck with the same faulty part in the pickup.dodge has no "fix" for us.they want us to drive our pickup with the recalled part until they come up with a fixed part.we are not willing to do this.what are our options?

My dodge ram 1500 (2010) had its fuel pump fail.i would lose power while driving and had difficulty starting.in order to start the vehicle, i would have to turn the ignition to the on position, wait a moment or two, then start the truck.if i didn't wait the truck wouldn't start.sometimes while accelerating from a stop or even to pass, i would notice a lack of power as if the engine was starving for fuel.two or three times it would stall while waiting at an intersection for the light to change to green. I took my truck to a dodge dealer for the problem and was told it was because the fuel pump only lasts 4 to 5 years and that was why it failed.i had to pay to have it replaced.since i didn't have over $800.00 i had to purchase an extended warranty plan in order to get it changed.

During fuel fill gas will overflow out the fuel tank after the gas nozzle clicks off.this leaves a large puddle of gas on the ground and all over the side of the truck and if i was standing near the nozzle i would be full of gas on my clothing.this happens at every fill up no matter the gas station.seen dozens of on-line information including you tube videos of exact same issue with other same year model trucks.
When fueling the tank it overflows everytime. Only owned it a week and bought from dealer.the sales guy also mentioned getting gas on himself when he filled it before we bought it. Didnt know it was a permanent thing! filled at different gas stations. Does the same at every station. Hazardous.getting gas on us. Saw on line that other people have had the same issue.
Upon fill-up at gas station, gas will "spit back."the handle from the pump will click off and then approximately a cup or two of fuel will spit back onto the body of the vehicle and spill onto the ground.

Mechanisims that hold all four doors open in the half and full position on my 2010 dodge ram crew cab truck do not hold door secure enough to prevent accidental unwanted closing of door which in turn strikes person while entering/exiting vehicle. While serious injury has not occurred yet, it's only a matter of time before it does. I am especially concerned for hand, finger, or head type injuries with children and even adults not aware of this condition when entering or exiting my vehicle. Even though i am very aware of this situation i could also get hit by a door unexpectedly. My dealer feels, and i agree, problem does not appear to be result of defective manufacturing or improper installation but rather improperly designed parts. Replacement of affected parts in like kind would only result in same problem. Re-designed parts such as stronger compression spring and/or increased depth of scallops in holding bars are necessary to more firmly hold doors on their detent until occupant desires to close door with his or her hand.

I have contacted dodge 5 times to have them replace my transmission and differential as they are not working properly.they don't shift when necessary, they don't engage when needed and as a result i have almost been in 2 accidents.the first happened a few weeks ago when after they had failed to detect any problems while my truck was in for service and my complaint that the transmission and differential were not working properly, the drive shaft actually fell off the truck while it was in motion and the bolt holding the u-joint for the drive shaft shot into the differential resulting in the rear wheels locking up. I was in the midst of traffic when this happened and 2 cars swerved to miss me.i had it towed to the dealer, and the replaced the drive shaft and a couple pieces in the differential, but didn't address the transmission issue and now the differential wasn't working properly and making noise.after contact dodge about it again, they are telling me that the dealer says there's nothing wrong so they wont replace the transmission or the differential even though they are covered under warranty.the dealer specifically told me that they know something is wrong, but they aren't sure exactly what and the only way to really fix the issues would be to replace the entire transmission and the entire differential because they each have some many parts to them.at this point, i would like to file an official complaint as it seems the only way dodge will honor their warranty is if someone dies. Yesterday i was making a left turn and oncoming traffic almost hit me because the transmission wouldn't engage in gear for the truck to move forward.
I was driving down a major interstate highway in a construction zone (down to 2 lanes, concrete barricades on either side) when i started hearing loud grinding noises coming from under my truck.i couldn't pull off the road because there was no shoulder and the nearest exit was at least a quarter mile ahead so i was driving toward the exit when there was a loud pop, lots of smoke, and my vehicle skidded to a stop.nearby vehicles narrowly missed colliding with me due to the smoke and the sudden stop and the fact that my drive shaft had come flying out behind me.as it turns out the rear differential had completely locked up (due to n08 rear axle pinion nut issue) and the torque had popped my drive shaft completely loose and left a massive crack in my transfer case.i had been to my local dealership less than two weeks before the incident but they did not provide the necessary repairs because chrysler has still not made the correct parts available.chryler has been aware of this issue for over a year but still does not have the correct parts available to remedy the problem, which results in catastrophic failure and loss of vehicle control at high speeds.

I can not understand why it is taking so long to get this recall fixed on my truck. I have been calling every since they mailed it to me. I am always told so sorry we are still trying to get the parts shipped out to the dealers. Oh we do not know what is taking so long, oh yes we will call you when the parts are ready. Well this recall has been going on for quite some time now and i do not understand why they are so far behind. It says my rear axil can freeze up and cause a major accident...so if this is true then why do they not have the parts after this long? there has been no problem with the truck yet but then i do not drive it very far since it may lock up the rear end and cause me or my family to be hurt...along with someone else in their car!!!! i call my local dealer and i get the same crap for an answer.....
Rear axle was making loud noises, turned out i had to replace the bearings in the rear axle.cost me over 1100.00, was told its very strange for a truck with only 76k miles to need this done.i also had the rear diff serviced by a dealer 6 months prior with no indication from them of any issues.

Vehicle could not move and realized the drive shaft came off and a passing car hit the drive shaft, several cars had to swerve around it, the car fluid leaking, etc.we had to call aaa and arrange a tow truck ($181.95 paid up front),arrange transportation for our 12 year old daughter who was in the car at the time of the incident and my wife and i were transported by the tow truck. This ordeal took 2 hours.we arranged for dealer to tow the car on 9/4 - smith haven chrysler jeep dodge, saint james, ny. The dealer has informed us that can repair the damage caused by the rear locking up and the drive shaft coming lose, but they do not have the part to fix the m34 recall.i opened case #23907979 with chrysler 9/5.i am getting conflicting information since chrysler representative informs me that the parts are available cbakm343aa, cbakm344aa, cbakm345aa, cbakm346aa but will "take a while" to get and that the dealer can only order/recieve one of the four parts at a time.this does not make sense to me.however, the smith haven dealer and nhtsa records (reference # 565888) indicate the parts to fix m34 are not available.therefore, i am getting conflicting information regarding the ability to address the recall while the dealer is in the process of repairing the damages and returning the vehicle with the recall issue unaddressed and my family and i are facing a repeat of a potentially dangerous failure at any time in the future.

We have had this truck back just after we purchased it new and they put a new torque converter in and that didn't fix the vibration. We have had it back several times after that . We were then told that when they came up with a fix we were be contacted. Its still vibrating and haven't heard of any fixes.
Driver side rear wheel bearing failed prematurely. Led to wheel bearing slot on axle shaft to wear causing axle shaft damage. If i had not caught this early the axle shaft may have failed completely resulting in catastrophic damage. First noticed signs of damage while vehicle was in motion

After the first recall of the pinion nut can loosen, causing the rear axle to seize. The driveshaft also may detach, which could cause a crash. We opted to fix this. Shortly after the same noise took place. This time it is therear differential is locking up. However, the dodge service center is saying it is unrelated and it is not part of the recall. The back-end is seizing - so there is more than one critical mechanical error in this vehicle. Chrysler needs to be held responsible. This time i want my vehicle eligible for a buy-back. Its been a lemon. The electrical went out in 2011. No windows can go up or down. Its a horribly made vehicle all the way around.
The rear differential went out at approximately 65 mph. I had it inspected and supposedly fixed in april of 2013 but it did not fix it. The complete rear pinion and wheel bearing gears went out. The service people at lithia dodge in santa fe said that because it had been inspected in april it was ok. Not the case. All of these models need to be recalled for a complete new rear end. Lives will be lost if this isn't done. Also, chrysler must take financial responsibility for all repairs associated with this rear end even if it was inspected and approved to be ok. It isn't .

I parked my vehicle, turned it off went inside for a few minutes. Came out started it up. With my foot on the brake, i tried to put it in gear (automatic transmission) would not go in gear the shifter wouldn't move. I tried a few more times and it finally went into gear. This has happened 2 times on the same day on 3 different days.
Driving about 35 mph and a whirring started in the rear end.only happened when i was coasting, not when gas was applied or brakes.after about 15 minutes of driving and several stops the drive shaft fell off.i was coasting down hill on a two lane road as the noise got very loud.first there was a clunk and obviously something was dragging underneath, which i thought was the muffler.there was no where to stop on the road so continued to coast.less than 5 seconds later another clunk and then it was quiet, piece had fallen off.i was able to pull to side of road but vehicle was inoperable.estimate from dealership is to replace drive shaft and whole rear end assembly, $6200.only explanation given was that a u-joint broke and fell off.drive shaft falling out damaged whole rear end assembly.

Still no remedy parts available (according to my dodge dealer) to satisfy a rear axle pinion nut safety recall.i received the safety recall notice m34 via us mail in october 2012 with the statement "chrysler anticipates the remedy parts will be made available within the 1st quarter of 2013."well, it's may 1st and no action.i'm concerned that this delay could increase the likelihood of a problem on my rear axle.i'm also concerned that the value of my truck is diminished until the repair can be made. Please demand that chrysler remedy this asap. Thank you!
After taking the truck through an automated car wash the transfer case shift motor engaged putting the transfer case in 4 low. This happened in a parking lot at low speed. If this malfunction happened on the highway it would likely have caused loss of control.
Our 2010 dodge ram 1500 recently developed an exhaust manifold leak on the passenger side. It makes a loud rattling noise when the vehicle is cold. The noise goes away once the vehicle has warmed up. From my online research this is apparently a problem with dodge rams and i have found many complaints from other owners. I have contacted dodge but since we are out of warranty we have to pay for repairs. Since this is clearly a problems with their parts and they have had repeated complaints, i'm wondering why dodge has not issued a recall.
Frustrated with chryslers recall. They are either dragging their feet through the process or they are incompetent. After numerous times of contacting them to repair rear axle pinion and them not having the part, i decide to have them buy back my vehicle. Each time i have called they give me different information. Each time it adds two weeks to the point i can turn the truck in for a check. In the meanwhile i am left to drive a truck that can endanger my 3 year old and new born. When i called for the third time today they said i had to accept the offer they made me for my vehicle. Then they would send a letter to me to sign and then they would assign an inspector to look at truck. I asked why was this not told to me last week when i called. They replied we didn't know the value of your truck. I said yes you did i printed it off your website and fax it to you on october 13, 2015 per your requirements. The whole process has been very poorly handled.

I was driving vehicle at 55 mph along undivided 2 lane highway.differential began to make whining noise and then within 1-2 minutes the rear differential locked up and the drive shaft yoke broke causing the drive shaft to drop to the ground.due to the speed, vehicle control was difficult while attempting to stop.once stopped, drive shaft yoke was obviously snapped off and passenger side rear tire had melted rubber from being dragged for a few hundred feet when differential locked up.vehicle was taken to deal and after 2 weeks determination was made that something seized in the differential and caused internals to be destroyed.dealer has not mentioned current recalls or investigations.as of now, i have been told that dodge is not making the parts needed and that a minimum of 1 month lead time is expected before parts become available.i am told no loaner vehicle or rental car will be provided.

We were going 70 mph, in the left lane passing a semi-truck, towing our boat in traffic when we heard a loud noise & started seeing parts coming out from underneath our vehicle.the vehicle became uncontrollable, but between the two of us, we were able to get to the right side of the road, but still blocking traffic in the right lane.a park ranger came behind us, put on his flashers to warn traffic behind us & an incident response truck also came.they were able to pull us about a half block to a spot in the road where we were no longer blocking traffic.a tow truck came & took us 50 miles to ellensburg, wa where our truck was repaired under warranty at university auto center.we had received a safety recall notice (n08/nhtsa 13v-038) several months prior to the incident, but with every service at our local dodge dealer we were told that the parts were not yet available & not to worry that no problems had occurred yet.we were without our vehicle for 15 days.it has been repaired, but we are nervous about driving it.we have been told by several that the outcome could have been way more serious including fatal if we were not towing our boat.the weight of the boat held us down.we are faithful dodge customers, so will be contacting them direct to relay all of this information to them in our words.it was a very scary experience & we feel that the chrysler corporation needs to compensate us.in august while driving on the freeway, pulling a boat, the gears started falling from the rear end and the consumer was all over the highway, as a result of the recall not being performed.

While in reverse the truck makes a loud popping sound and it feels like the brake is grabbing the rotor. The caliper was changed and the issue persists. I was toldby the local dodge dealership it could be the drive line rear-end pinion nut backing off the bolt that this is a common issue, either way there are numerous complaints and this should be recalled before someone is seriously injured or killed. This only occurs when backing up slowly with the brake pedal pressed.

In october 2012 i received recall m34/nhtsa 12v-474 stating that my dodge 1500 truck had a safety recall but that parts for the repair would not be available until the first quarter of 2013.it is now 6/16/2013 and i have not heard back from chrysler llc.their website says that i should take my truck to a local dealer for repair asap.the local dealer says that chrysler has not yet "released the parts" to perform the repair.there appears to be no date available when chrysler will actually begin shipping the necessary parts.the recall notice indicates that if the part fails, a crash could occur "without warning".why hasn't chrysler released the parts to correct this safety issue?why hasn't the government forced them to comply with the recall and fix the problem?

Started to hear a strange noise when i would let off the accelerator (empty truck, no trailer or cargo). I said to myself 'i need to get this to the shop tomorrow to see what is wrong with it.' the noise got louder, and before i got home, the nut holding on the drive shaft had fallen off and caused the drive shaft to drop to the ground and my rear end to lock up. I was disabled in the middle of an intersection and had to call a tow truck. After google searching the issue, i noticed there are many cases with 2009 and 2010 dodge ram 1500 trucks with this exact issue. This isn't a driveshaft issue, but rather a pinion\rear end issue. Seeing the numerous reports of this issue, i think a recall is the least that dodge should do in response to this issue.

While traveling down a 2 lane paved road at approx. 55 mph, a humming sound could be heard from under the vehicle upon releasing the accelerator. The hum increased in intensity very quickly, resulting in a large bang and near loss of control less than 1 minute after first hearing the sound. I would later learn that the rear-axle pinion nut had detached, resulting in the rear wheels locking and having the side-effect of dropping the driveshaft onto the ground.i had just gotten off of the highway a few minutes before, and if this had happened 1 minute sooner or 1 minute later, i would have most certainly lost control at higher speeds and other vehicles would have been involved, or in the case of happening 1 minute later i would have re-entered a dense high-speed traffic area and the chances of involving other vehicles would have risen significantly. Fortunately, for that brief stretch of road, i was the only vehicle within a few hundred yards, granting me the ability to regain control and get off the road at a safe turn-off, that happened to be the only turn-off in the area.to sum up my experiences, if this event had occurred at any other location during my commute, it would have turned out much worse, and it just so happened that this was the perfect spot as i did not hit any other vehicles and was able to pull off the road safely. It turns out that there is a recall for this exact component, but i had not been informed by mail or by my local dealer when i asked them about any open recalls barely a month before when periodic maintenance was performed. They did not show anything in their system and my vehicle remained 'officially roadworthy' until this incident. This is distressing, as my wife could have been driving or i could have had passengers.
I was driving when the pinion nut on the rear differential came loose allowing the pinion gear to seize the differential and shear the drive shaft from the differential.

We were driving our 2010 dodge ram 1500 on a county highway when we heard a loud whirring noise.as we approached a downhill section and my husband took his foot off the gas the noise went away, but came back louder as soon as he put his foot on the accelerator.instantly there was a big boom and the rear end of the vehicle locked up, the front end of the vehicle swerving with the back end jack knifing on the road while bouncing/bucking like motion given the tires felt as though they were also locked up.we could feel and hear something under the car bashing the undercarriage.there were no oncomers fortunately and my husband did manage to stop the vehicle just short of the guardrail and going over the ravine.the car was still half in the lane .. Horizontal to oncoming traffic.he turned on the hazards and i jumped out, it was dark with no lighting on the road and hard to see until the car behind us stopped to see if we were ok and said our drive shaft had disconnected.we removed our 2 young children from their carseats, waited on the side of the road and the men tried to move the truck out of oncoming traffic but the tires were locked.we called 911 for the police to give our children a safer place to stay out of oncoming traffic and to provide direction to oncoming traffic as we had a tow truck come out to bring the car to the nearby dodge dealership.the dealership looked at the car, informed us it was part of a recall but they didn't have the parts to fix it in stock.they did not offer an alternate vehicle to us and we are still awaiting word on what is happening at almost a week after this incident took place.for me the integrity of the entire drive shaft, undercarriage and all equipment/components of the vehile, tires which were showing signs of extreme wear and low on air are all now compromised.
Notified of the recall about 2 months ago. Called expressway dodge, they said there wasn't one. The first of july 2013 received formal notice in mail. Called expressway dodge to find out if the part was in stock, if so to set up an appointment. Iheld on the line for the stock clerck to check for the part, he came back and said yes they had the part, i made an appointment and took my truck to have it checked. No part, they didn't even offer to inspect my truck to see if it needed the said part.very dissapointed

My truck has had an excessive clanking noise when put in drive or when changing from drive to reverse that i could not identify until now. The stated issue is that splines on the yoke or pinion were to small. The "fix" is a better sealer/patch which does not seem to be the correct solution. If there is a mismatch between splines on the yoke and pinion continued force from acceleration/deceleration will cause excessive wear to these parts. A patch to keep the nut from loosening seems to fix a symptom not the problem. Also, at what point is chrysler responsible to have a schedule to fix this in a reasonable period and what is that period? no parts and no time frame is not reasonable.

Chrysler sent me a safety recall notice n08/nhtsa 13v-038 in april of 2013. This is for trucks with a 9.28" rear axle it states that the pinion nut may be built without an adhesive patch on the pinion threads. The lack of this adhesive patch could allow the rear axle pinion nut to loosen and/or the rear driveshaft to separate from the rear axle. A loose pinion nut could cause the rear axle to seize and a separated driveshaft could cause a loss of motive power. Either situation could cause a crash without warning. The dealer states that chrysler has not informed them of the fix not supplied the parts. They also stated that chrysler would contact me when the figured out what to do. I waited a while and called chrysler in may and they had me bring the vehicle in for an inspection at the dealer. The dealer told me that everything looked tight at this point to wait for chrysler to come up with the fix and contact me. To date they have not contacted me.

My truck started making sound from the rear axle while i was driving on and off the highway. I slowed down to see if it had anything to do with the transmission then i could sense that the drive train was somehow lagging while accelerating and decelerating. I drove at about 40-60 mph all day and decided to drop it off at a dodge dealership for service. Next day, i received a call from the service person explaining that my truck's drive shaft fell down as soon as he took it out to a test drive on interstate 10. He told me that the truck had to be towed back to the garage with the drive shaft getting dragged on the ground. The dealership manager and i both had to make a numerous phone call to chrysler about this incident and the chrysler representative agreed that it was due to a recall that i had not have. Chrysler rep., after 3 hours of talking on the phone and waiting, agreed to compensate for the repair and the dealership put the drive shaft, which had been dragged on the ground for 1/4 mile, back to my truck without replacing it. Ever since then, it has been making a very annoying "whining" sound from the rear axle at low speed(10-40mph) until today. I thought it was my mistake to buy a chrysler product that had so many recalls and problems until i saw a newspaper article talking about chrysler's recall incident. Today, i realized that this incident i had was not even the part of dodge ram's recall. I could have gotten into a severe accident in the middle of busy i10 in houston if i had to drive another mile on the day before i dropped it off at the dealership.
Rocker panels are rusting from the inside out. Causing large holes to form. While in park, rolled the drivers side window down heard a metal clank and the window would no longer go up or down, as the window regulator fell apart. While driving on a country road, i noticed slight difficulty in shifting. The check engine light came on. Upon having the code read, the transmission selenoid is stuck open. Tie rod ends are loosening as well. So many issues on a 6 year old vehicle
Vehicle was traveling at 70 mph. Vibration and howling/whining noise started coming from the rearend,owner slowed downto exit the highway,as the vehicle was braking to a stoploud clunkingand grinding noise coming from the rear end.the drive shaft separated from the rear end of the vehicle,right rear wheel locked and slid about 8 feet.. Driver exited the vehicle,took picture of drive shaft on the ground underneath the truck. No previous indications of any problems. Chrysler hot line was called. Vin was identified as be involved in a recall m-34. Recall notice had not been received by owner,dodge rep said recall notices were being sent out starting 5 dec 2012. Vehicle was towed to nearest dodge dealer.
Driving 25 mph. Rear differential locked up. Drive line separated from the pinion gear. Violently thrown into the steering column. The rear differential was beyond repair. A replacementdiffenential had to be replaced. Expensive repair. Chrysler refused to reimburse for the repair. Said it was my fault for not knowing about the existing recall notice.

Truck broke down when driving city street normal conditions. Drive shaft fell off and broke in two. Related to safety recall n08 - rear axle pinion nut opened april 2013. Extensive damage done to truck, $13k or so in parts alone or more than truck value.had my truck since june 2020, just now informing me they will not cover any damages caused by the safety recall issue (only the recall repairs which is minimal). Do i have any recourse with chrysler? are they correct in their handling or do they owe me some kind of fair settlement payout since the damages are worth more than the truck value (trade in around $12k).
The part recall was a gasket for the axle. The recall letter came to me on nov. 12/2012 and was told to talk to the dealership, but no action just the runaround game, called the chrysler number provided by dealer, and the same thing, now it's june 2013 called again, but was told they did not manufactured the part yet. So, the4-wheel power drive light comes on as a warning to service the4-wheel drive, i believe it has something to do with the recall part for the vehicle, dodge ram 1500-2010. I want to buy american vehicle because i want to support the motor vehicle industries of the united states, and to keep americans job in our factory's, but to get something done for a recall, after seven months, this will be my last american product i will ever purchase, and da hell with all the american workers, first they send out a letter, and then the runaround. What a bunch of bull.

I was notified by dodge that there was a recall on the rear pinion nut coming loose. That dodge was working on a solution. Here it is 7/10/13 and no solution. Does someone have to die first. I think the gov. Should shut them down till a remedy is found in any safety recall. I received an email in june that dodge was still working on it.
I went to huntsville,alabama and got my two grandchildren on july 23, 2012 and they spent three weeks with me in michigan. On friday august 10, 2012, i took them home. On saturday, august 11, 2012 as i was driving down pulaski pike getting ready to make a left turn my truck would not turn. The man at the service station was waving for me to let my window down and i did and he said ma your drive shaft is on the ground. I got out of my truck and was astonished that this big long pipe was on the ground. My father came and said your pinion nut backed itself off the pinion and that there was no loctite on the pinion nut and that could have been very danger had it happen when i was carrying my grandchildren home. My father is a mechanic and he put my drive shaft back on and i drove my truck back to michigan and took my truck to moran chrysler jeep dealership in st. Clair. And they said it was put back together ok but need a seal on the differential case but the people i work with knew they were using defected pinion nuts.i work at the marysville axle plant which it use to be detroit axle plant.

Received safety recall n08/nhtsa 13v-038 in early spring 2013. Parts were not available and the promised follow-up recall has yet to be received. The recall indicates failure could result in a crash putting my family at constant risk. This is entirely too long and indicates chryslers apathy towards their consumers and their safety, regardless of the rhetoric in their safety recall notices.
Received recall notice chrysler m34-n08/nhtsa 12v-474 in december 2012, prior to having 100,000 miles on my vehicle. Now in late march 2013 (out of warranty-mileage), the rear differential has started making a loud whining noise. The dealership has done a preliminary diagnosis of bearing failure and suggested the rear differential be rebuilt. I have followed all pm's and find it hard to believe that my rear differential is failing at 111,000 miles. Of course the parts for recall are not available and neither chrysler or the dealership will recognize the subsequent failures of the recalled rear axle pinion nut failing. I need my vehicle for work related purposes and am terrified of driving my vehicle. Chrysler and their dodge dealerships need to be better prepared for this recall, recognize that the rear axle pinion nut failing can/will cause subsequent failures in a rear differential, and provide adequate repairs to mitigate any future issues with the rear differential.

I have had the rack and pinion nut replaced on a recall and now it's all doing it again and trying to find out if it would still be covered and causing other issuesis it still a recall item that can be taken care ofit's all happening while in motioni have had it checked out three times and they tell me it's the bearings and that i should take it back to the chrysler for the rack and pinion nut issue that may have caused all the problems
When slowing down kept hearing a humming noise coming from the rearend. About 10 minutes later i slowed down to make a turn and boom the driveshaft falls out of the rearend and the rear wheels lock up.the pinion nut had come off and pinion yolk (still attached to the driveshaft) came out of the rearend.the chrysler dealership determined that the driveshaft was not reusable and had to replace the rearend housing and all it's internal parts.
Broken manifold bolts causing ticking noise.

Aafter recall nhtsa 13v-038 had been "repaired" in 2014, the exact description of what happens to the vehicle happened 2 years later."the rear axle pinion nut on your vehicle may loosen due to undersized pinion shaft splines. A loose pinion nut could cause the rear axle to seize or cause the driveshaft to separate resulting in a loss of motive power. Either situation could cause a crash without warning."the rear axle seized and the driveshaft separated resulting in a loss of motive power. The entire driveshaft actually completely fell off of the vehicle while getting onto the freeway. This "repair" obviously did not resolve this issue.

We received a re-call (n08/nhtsa 13v-038) on our 2010 dodge ram 1500 truck several months ago. Every time i call to check the status, i am told that there is still no remedy for the situation and a follow-up re-call notice will be sent when a remedy is available. This is the rear axle pinion nut and i won't go into detail as to what is says could happen as i am sure you are well aware already. I believe that if customers had to be given a safer vehicle to drive while awaiting repairs for the ones they are paying for that a remedy would probably come a lot quicker. I actually believe that dealers should be made to provide alternate transportation at no cost to the consumer. I cannot fathom it taking this long to remedy this situation knowing the damage it could cause. Something really should be done about the length of time this is taking. Thank you for your time. I would appreciate any positive feedback on this.

Electrical issues have been prevalent since the date of purchase in 2013. Must be a short in the entire truck somewhere. My lights on the passenger mirror blink all the time while running and or opening the door. Hubs/cv axleshave had to replace both driver and passenger side 3 times each now. This vehicle in not used and abused. I take care of it with regular maintenance. I have heard from others who own same year model and have seen online on forums others have had these issues also. This causes the cv, hubs, and rotors/brakes to be replaced.

I have a 1500 dodge 4x4.while driving home (with my three kids) i pulled up to a stop sign and noticed what felt like my brakes grinding.i rolled down my window and it was very load.i drove another 2 miles maybe, pulled up to another stop sign only to have my drive shaft hit the pavement.a few men selling vegetables on the corner helped push it backwards off the road.my husband later went to pick it up with one of his trailers and noticed that in 4x4 with the drive shaft removed it was still locked.the dealership has had it for three weeks and first had problems with the parts, then said that the parts were on back order, then said that the housing was delivered but the gears had to be investigated and released by a regional manager in order to be ordered.what would have happened if that had happened doing 75mph down the interstate that i was heading towards???i have looked through forums and online and noticed that this is not too frequent but still common.what to do?three weeks without my vehicle, no end in site ordering the pieces of the rear end and still no answer on if the front end or transmission have issues.
Driving up a steep mountain highway when truck lurched violently twice and came to a complete stop in the middle of a switchback corner with a horrible dragging sound and smoke everywhere.the truck would not go forward or backward. Oil and driveline parts were all over the highway. Dented the gas tank (possibly put a hole in the gas tank), we were told the gas tank was damaged and needed replaced.the rear-end pinion nut came loose and locked up the rear end causing the driveline to fall out onto the highway, tore a hole in the transfer case and damaged the gas tank.we were simply lucky there were other motorists on same highway that could stop and help us avoid a major collision on the steep, blind corner/on the mountain highway.dodge is giving us the "run around" on getting this fixed.they finally repaired the truck, putting the same, but new faulty part that is in the middle of a recall process, into our truck and wanting us to be happy with it.we are not. We do not feel safe driving the truck with the same faulty part in the pickup.dodge has no "fix" for us.they want us to drive our pickup with the recalled part until they come up with a fixed part.we are not willing to do this.what are our options?
I've received numerous recalls about the rear axle pinion nut.i've contacted 3 different dealerships in the area and either the part still isn't available or they just won't return my calls.i have not had an issue yet with the truck and i hope i never do since dodge won't call me back.this is very frustrating!!apparently, this product failed at some point and now i can't get the part replaced.
Rear differential/pinion failure which was replaced in 2014 according to dodge and has failed again january 2018. Loud noise is heard from rear of truck. It was diagnosed by mechanic, now dealer wants to verify. Engine has had to have new cams put in. Also has had failed exhaust manifold bolts. Exhaust assembly has a tendency to fall off the truck for no reason. It separates and comes apart.

I have called chrysler repeatedly and have been told it's a parts supplier problem, they are changing suppliers, it will now be 3-4 weeks....one excuse after another. Yesterday i called again and was advised to take the truck to a dealer and have them check the pinion nut to see if it was loose. I did so, it was not loose, and i was told "it should be ok" for the trip, but no guarantee.this is rotten way to do business. There is no failure yet.

On 11-8-14, i took a 2010 dodge ram 1500 truck in for engine repairs. The mechanic noted both front lower ball joints needed replaced. A search for the needed parts revealed no replacement parts available for at least 30 to 60 days. Four weeks later on 12-5-14, a fluid leak was noted from the front end. It was found that the right front axle seal needed replaced immediately, due to a heavy leak.the normal repair would involve replacing the lower front ball joint to enter the axle to get to the seal. This could not be done since no lower front ball joints could be found to complete the repair. The mechanic accessed the axle seal by going thru the top of the axle. The seal will again have to be replaced when lower ball joints become available, at a cost of an additional $150.this situation presents a risk to the driver and motoring public, since the necessary parts can not be sourced. It creates a risk that the lubricating fluid inside the axle will leak out, which could result in the axle "tying up,"causing the driver to loose control and crash. Chrysler will not, or can not make the necessary parts available to its dealers or independent mechanics. There are also no "after-market" parts on the market that could be used to safely complete repairs.

I as driving along the rearend started whining a little as i came to a stop. As i started to pull away it vibrated and then the driveline fell to the pavement. I called a towtruck and then the service dept at two different dealer ships and both told me it was not under warranty. So i took it to the shop my employer uses and they found that the pinion nut backed off and the driveline was bent. Also it caused my rearend to lock up and have to be rebuilt.

Sept 2013while driving home in my 2010 dodge ram 1500 truck from glacier national park my transmission kicked out of tow mode and locked into 4th gear. My engine warning light came on.i was towing an ultralite trailer (5k lb) at the time. This incident occurred at an approx. 16000 odometer reading. The owner?s manual said it was ok to drive the truck in this condition and the 4th gear allows you to limp home. The dealer said a solenoid malfunctioned and they replaced it. Feb 20, 2015at approx. 22,800 odometer reading this incident happened again.this repair lasted only 6800 miles after the repair was first made. I was driving under normal conditions the transmission kicked out and locked into 4th gear and again i limped the truck back to the dealer for a repair on the same solenoid problem.sept 20th, 2015, while driving to lassan nat park, the transmission again kicked out of tow mode and locked into 4th gear. This occurred at 28k miles or 6k miles after the second repair. I have an appointment tomorrow to see what the fix will be. However, the symptoms were the same: truck shuddered, engine warning light came on, and truck got locked into4th gear. I see many complaints on the internet pertaining to this transmission issue but has a serious report been received by your office? there is definitely something wrong with the truck?s transmission and it doesn?t appear to be just my truck. To recap, my 2010 dodge ram transmission solenoid failed on 3 occasions locking the transmission into 4th gear. My truck though a 2010 model year, has only 28000 miles of use. Solinoid failed at 16000, 22800, and 28000 miles.this could cause a serious problem especially if you are headed up a mountain pulling a trailer.

Rcvd. Safety recall n08/nhtsa 13v-038 from chrysler corp. Approx. 30 days ago about the rear axle pinion nut on my 2010 ram 1500 stating that the truck was unsafe and that they were concerned about my safety. Called local dealer to schedule appt. To have fixed and dealer stated that the part was unavailable, waited another week and called the chrysler group recall assistance center and got the same excuse from them that the parts were on back order. Something needs to be done to motivate this company to take care of their responsibilities in a timely manner, not everyone can park their vehicle and wait for this to be resolved whenever chrysler gets around to it. Have read other complaints on this website about rear axle lock-up and other accidents with the drive shafts. Hopefully this will be fixed before another accident occurs or someone is seriously injured or killed.

The vehicle started making a grinding sound, then started jerking right before it abruptly came to a complete stop.upon getting out of the vehicle to see what had happened, the rear drive shaft was disconnected from the truck and hanging down on the road.we then tried to put the vehicle in neutral and push it off of the main road we were on to a safer side road.the truck was completely locked up and would not move forward or backwards.upon researching the problem, it has came to my attention that this is part of the safety recall that has been issued by dodge.
Received safety recall m34 nhtsa 12v-474 months ago and still not repaired. Dealer says they don't have parts and will notify me when they are available. Date of recall was january 2013. It appears to me that chrysler has no intention of making the repair as it has had more than adequate time to acquire the parts. Is no one following up to insure the recall requirements are fulfilled or are we waiting for a major injury to occur when this part fails? is everyone experiencing this problem or is a local issue. Any assistance is appreciated.
Around the 115,000 mile mark the rear differential started to make a weird noise when i wasn't actively accelerating. When i was coasting i could tell something was wrong with the rear end of my vehicle. The transmission shop i brought it to confirmed the rear differential bearings have gone bad. At only 115,000 thousands miles i thought this was a manufacturer issue and a safety issue. Anywhere from 10pmh or faster the grinding noise can be heard.
The rear differential in my ram locked up at 35 mph causing the driveshaft to break, the rear of the truck to jump in the air approximately 2ft, and making it skid for 40ft to a hard stop in the middle of the road near a busy intersection. Dodge has yet to recognize this issue and to do something about it despite it happening to multiple rams. This is extremely dangerous!!! even the dealerships fail to show any concern over this issue. It was taken to miller dodge in martinsburg and will be looked at monday.

The failure and current mileage was 51,000.
Exhaust manifold bolts break off and the truck develops exhaust leak...the truck then has no control of regulating exhaust gases and next you will get a damaged catalytic converter. This will also cause oxygen sensor to change mixture. These bolts are breaking on the engine, on their own. The bolts are too small for a exhaust area bolt. The internet is full of forums about this issue and dodge has done nothing to address. Model 5.7 hemi has had issues from 2005 -2012. These bolts can not stand up to the heat and stress for the intended application.
While traveling 40 mph or so, the rear axle pinion nut separated from the rear differential causing the drive shaft to drop and the rear wheels to seize. I lost control of the vehicle skidding to a stop in the side of the road. The vehicle had been at billy bender dodge in january to perform a known safety recall for this issue, they had the truck for a week, and forgot to make the fix even though the parts were ordered. I have video of the vehicle being dragged by the tow truck onto the flat bed as the rear wheels would not spin.this was a frightening incident and the blatant neglect by the dealer has me outraged.i fear the rear diff and the drive shaft are destroyed.this is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed promptly and serious by the dealerships, and forgetting to perform the recall after ordering parts and scheduling the vehicle to be in the garage is an outrage.

While coming down highway 36 into susanville, calif. Our truck started make a odd noise, we could not stop to check it out because of the road, as we came up on an area where wee could look at itgot really loud and we heard a thump and the rear axle locked up. We then skid across the road to a pull off area what we found was our drive shaft had come out of the rear axle. The truck had to be towed into town where it still is. When we called on july 30th i was told there was 45 other trucks waiting for the same part, i called again on august 10th and they are now telling us maybe sometime in october. The problem has been identified by the national highway traffic safety administration. But i believe the scope of the problem is greater then what is being reported to federal agencies.
A pinion nut in the drivetrain failed during normal use while driving down a highway at 65 mph, the main driveshaft separated from the truck and sheared half of the transfer case off. The driveshaft also destroyed the rear differential and damaged a large are of the under carriage. This but was under recall and an accredited dealership made the initial repair by replacing the transfer case and driveshaft. The rear differential was repaired. After the repairs were made the trucks drivetrain would not operate correctly and would try to shift itself into 4wd intermittently without the transfer case selector being moved. The dealership was unable to troubleshoot the problem for a number of weeks but finally discovered the transfer case motor was broken and that the initial repair should have included this part as it was obviously damaged in the incident but could not make the repair because it wasn't listed on the initial repair. Fca refused to replace the part and would not accept an appeal to have the case reviewed to include the new information as the area manager responsible for our claim closed it without allowing the new troubleshooting results to be considered.
The vehicle began making a whining noise in the rear during deceleration, both from simply letting off the accelerator and braking.noise began 50 miles from residence, and progressively became louder on the drive home.at roughly 17 miles from my current residence, a loud noise was heard followed by more loud rumbling and smoke from differential fluid slinging onto the exhaust.i turned on to a side road and began coasting until reaching a safe location to pull over; however, before stopping the rear differential locked up causing the truck to skid to a stop.upon exiting the vehicle, i could see the drive shaft hanging on the ground, it's rear connecting bolts sheared, and the differential yoke was missing.i could see the pinion shaft sloppily resting in the the differential where the yoke should have been.i paid to have it hauled to the local dodge dealership, who indicated they "did not have a qualified rear end technician", and said i'd "have to have it towed to another one at my personal expense" 50 miles away.after contacting chrysler, they reimbursed my towing expense, and towed it to the other dealership.the second dealership said the ring and pinion were broken, and would have to be replaced along with the carrier.after waiting one month without my truck, i contacted them and was told the parts necessary to fix the vehicle were on backorder, and would not be available for 3 months.i called chrysler to expedite the parts, and that afternoon was told the parts had arrived, and would be fixed in 2-3 days.after one day, i was told chrysler okayed aftermarket parts to expedite the repair, but were flawed preventing correct repair.they offered to let me have it back, but warned me it would make more noise than before.i requested that they fix it right or not at all.chrysler then indicated parts would not be available for 5 months.
Driving home today in my 2010 dodge ram 1500, heard a hum when i let off on the gas. As i made a right turn to get off the road, i heard a bunch of rattling and the truck stopped. When i got out of the truck my drive shaft was laying in the lane next to me. I looked under the truck and found the transfer case snapped and laying on the ground under the truck. A couple of bystandard offered to help push the truck off the road but when it was in nutral it wouldn't move. When the tow truck put it up on the flat bed the rear axcel was locked up and the tires would not rotate.

When i started the truck monday morning and put it in drive, it went straight into fourth gear. I thought i had accidentally put it in manual mode, so i turned it off and restarted it. In the drive position it would only operate in fourth gear. After a little research i discovered its called limp mode and it seems like the culprit is the transmission shift solenoid, sometimes called the range sensor, part number 68353383ab. I had taken it to a transmission shop and they told me that?s what the culprit was, but if i was going to replace it i might as well rebuild the transmission...$2800. Not being able to afford this, (nor did i think it was needed), i called advanced auto who ordered a solenoid pack for me, but it was the wrong one, (4800171aa). That?s when i called chrysler jeep dodge off 295 in jacksonville florida.[xxx] give me the correct part number, let me know that it was a special order, and that they were only allowed to order five a week and it would take 5 to 7 days to come in. I said that seemed odd and asked if there was an issue. He said let me look, and that?s when he told me that they were fixing 640 of these a week nationwide, but there was no recall. How is that so? i was lucky in that my issue happened in/on my own driveway/street where i could back up and figure out a plan. But i have read where this is happening to people as they are out and about with no warning.dangerous or not, over 33,000 repairs in a years time seems to be at recall level. The part from dodge is $460 plus about 7 gallons of transmission fluid and a transmission kit, so over $500 and a hot mess if you?re willing to tackle it yourself. Add 2-4 hours shop labor at $60-$100/hr plus shop supplies and most of your day or multiple days (either way) if you're not willing or able to make the repair. This doesn't seem right, please investigate. Thank you, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

I was driving down the highway heard a high pitched whine and the boom the driveline came off the rear differential and the rear wheels locked up. I have researched this and many people have experienced the same problem. Dealer has to replace all components from the center of the truck back.
While i was driving on a highway, i heard a terrible sound out of the rear of my ram truck. I tried to stop my vehicle as soon as i could while the sound kept on getting even more terrible. When i stopped and looked at the bottom of the vehicle, the driveshaft fell off from the rear of the vehicle and oil spilled on road. There was no warning or no engine light signal in the vehicle electronics before or after this happened. Has the vehicle been on a freeway with a speedlimit of 100 km/hr or so, i think it would have been really tough to control the vehicle in this break-down and it could have resulted in a fatal accident. The vehicle was not in a position to be driven further and i had to get it towed to a nearest chrysler dealership in coquitlam, british columbia, canada.it has been days now and i have not yet heard back from chrysler dealership that what is the cause of this problem and what will be done to fix this issue. On checking with dealership, they say that they have no solution to this problem till now. Luckily, my vehicle is still inside the warranty period and so the dealership says that the cost to repair will be covered, but they have no fixed timeline on how soon they can fix it. I tried reaching out to chrysler and filed a complaint about this, but the response from chrysler is not very helpful and they are not at all worried about my sufferings and loss that i am currently facing due to this vehicle not being available/ready for my use yet.
I have a 2010 ram with 50k miles on it and just got a wake up call. While running with rush hour traffic, i took my foot off the gas, heard a loud whine, then kablam!!! the rear of the truck locked up and kicked me dead sideways, luckily i had just gotten into a gap between traffic. Nothing like having a full size crew cab truck sliding sideways on an interstate in the middle of traffic. I managed to get the truck straightened up and as it was about to slide around the other way i heard the rear end explode and the rear wheels freed up and i got off the side of the road.kudos to the drivers behind me, cars and the 2 18 wheelers that were able to avoid t boning me as i went on this wonder ride. I climbed out the passenger door and called my dealer, they hooked me up with roadside and an hour later!!! with rush hour traffic just missing my truck by inches, i got to my dealer.they have yet to get it on the rack to look at it. I did crawl under it in the lot.drive shaft fell off. The pinion apparently came loose, i can see it inside the differential and all the threads are present. The drive shaft is beat all up, you can see where it hung on the frame when the truck went sideways. The front of the dif looks cracked, the pinion is inside the dif wedged against everything. The trans seams to be leaking fluid as well, cracked?????this is a major safety issue!!!! first mine is not the only ram this has happened to. My dealer has had 1 other in for the same issue, and another for no oil in the rear diff.its just a matter of time before this seriously hurts or kills someone. I have many moons of driving experience under my belt and was able to keep the truck from splattering. Call it skill, luck, whatever, but it could've turned out very badly.

I purchased a 2010 dodge ram 1500(hemi) for the purpose of pulling a travel trailer after i retired.approximately 4-5 months ago i received a "recall" due to a problem in assembly with the rear axle pinion nut being built without an adhesive patch on the pinion nut threads. I am now told i can not pull any type of trailer and that it may be many months before chrysler/dodge will have the parts to correct this problem.the dealer where i purchased the vehicle states that chrysler is not concerned with correcting this problem in a timely fashion.i contacted chrysler and received an answer that it will be months before the parts are available, "if then."due to this problem with the vehicle, my retirement travel plans have been put on hold, waiting on chrysler/dodge to correct the problem with the vehicle, which i bought in good faith from a dealer locally.this lack of concern by the dealership and chrysler/dodge is totally unacceptable.it is beyond comprehension why it should take "many months" to obtain an "adhesive patch" to correct their error in manufacturing this vehicle.

Was just notified of the recall for the rear axle pinion nut problem and when i called chrysler via their toll free number, i was told that the recall notice was mailed on 4/1/2013 even though i did not receive it for 30 days.was also told that they have no estimated date on when the repair part would be available.so we are expected to continue to drive our unsafe vehicles several months after initial recall because chrysler is failing on the manufacture of and delivery of repair part.i think i will go call an attorney.

While on vacation i was driving 45 mph and heard a whinning noise coming from the rear of truck. It got louder and louder very quickly and then i heard a large banging noise and therear wheels froze up causing the truck to skid to a stop in the middle of the road. Got out of said truck and noticed the rear of the driveshaft laying on the ground. Put it in 4 wheel drive to get of the road and noticed the rear wheels were locked solid and was barely able to get the truck to move to get of the road.the pinion nut came loose causing the driveshaft to fall off in turn the pinion moved in the rear axel causing catastrophic failure inside the rear differential.
While driving on highway (65mph), began hearing light whining sound coming from rear of vehicle, when coasting. Sound would go away on acceleration. Approximately 20 minutes later sound became louder, smelled something burning, and rear driveshaft fell out and was drugged about 20 feet, and rear end completely seized up.
I noticed the vehicle making a humming/rubbing sound coming from the rear end when moving 20-35mph and coming to a stop. I parked the vehicle until i was able to get it to the dealership, so the technician could test drive and locate the problem.upon his initial leaving he heard nothing so he proceeded to pick up the speed to 55mph to check for vibration in a neutral coast down.upon reaching 45mph the drive-shaft completely snapped and separated from the rear end assembly, resulting in the rear end completely locking up and sending the truck spinning out of control and the drive shaft swinging violently underneath the truck until the truck came to rest in the middle of the road. Upon further inspection when the truck was towed back to the dealership the technician noticed the rack and pinion assembly completely unthreaded itself from the driveshaft resulting in a catastrophic failure of the rear end. As a result it completely destroyed the gears and components within the rear end housing including deep gashes into the housing itself rendering it unsafe to re-build on. The dealership has since ordered a whole new rear end assembly to be purchased and placed on the truck and currently waiting on parts as i write this letter.

Driving vehicle and heard a clanking noise from rear end, it got louder over the next 2-3 miles then drive shaft dropped from rear differential. Called chrysler to ask if there were any known problems and was informed there was none. Had vehicle towed over 50 miles to a garage to have drive shaft reinstalled, noticed a grinding sound while driving both on accelerate and decelerate. Received a recall notice later in 2012 about the rear axle pinion nut being faulty. Called dealer and set appointment to have recall fixed along with a second recall for a/c blower motor door, took 2 days down time and when i went to pick up truck, the m34 recall as its known was not addressed but a/c was fixed. I was told that they would have to fix any damage caused to the rear end from the recall which is the noise im hearing but unfortunately chrysler does not even have the part nor an expected release date for the part to be available and that they would repair everything at the same time. After over a month of checking back on progress of part i informed the service writer that the noise is getting worse, at that time he stated to make an appointment to bring vehicle in and they would expedite the part and get it fixed and they would get me into a loaner or rental since i use my truck daily for work. When i went to set the appointment a week or so later i was told they cant give me a loaner or rental......another cost out of my pocket besides the repair an tow i already paid and the two days down i had to take for the first recall visit.... I then proceeded to call the number on the recall notice to speak with someone at chrysler and they said they would see what they can do....that was 3/5/2013.... Only to find out that because my truck is now over the 60 month 100k mileage im not eligible for warranty rental coverage.....the problem occurred almost a year ago.
Recall notice #2 came this week....this recall has been out for almost a year...my dealer says there are no parts to fix the recall and does not know when dodge will send them out. Rear axel pinion shaft nut / shaft spline problem. Why send out a recall w/o a fix in hand or at least scheduled??

Rear axle pinion nut recall - known to cause accidents upon failure - 4 cases already.manufacturer acknowledged the safety recall in january 2013 and sent out safety recall notices to all consumers that the recall affects.i have called the local dealerships numerous times regarding the recall and they simply say that the parts are not available.nine months after the recall notice distribution i contacted dodge corporate to find out why the parts are not available and they state that dodge has failed to secure a vendor to supply the product.this concerns me a great deal that dodge puts the consumer in danger by not being responsible and making the repairs needed.this recalled part can cause a driver to lose control of their vehicle and injure themselves as well as others.
I took my vehicle to fowler dodge in oklahoma city to have a recall performed. (rear axle pinion nut-n08/nhtsa) i dropped my vehicle off at 9:30 a.m. And informed the service tech, [xxx], that i needed my vehicle back before the end of the day because it was my only mode of transportation. After waiting 8 hours i demanded a loaner so that i could have transportation while my truck was being serviced. I had also requested an oil change. When i arrived back at the dealer to speak with a manager about a loaner i was told that it would only be another half an hour. At about 5:00 p.m. I was told my truck was ready. When i asked [xxx] if the inside of the axle looked okay he replied that they didn't inspect the inside because they thought they would have the truck overnight and that they only put a retainer on the nut so that i could have my truck back. The dealer then updated the database to reflect that the recall had been completed.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

If the nut loosens, the axle can lock up with little warning, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash".i was told by chrysler recall group that my vehicle is not eligible for the buyback program, even though my vehicle is the same model year with the same recalled issue (12v-474) loose pinion nut as those eligible.in addition, there is now another drive train recall for which i cannot receive repair due to lack of parts.

Saturday, june 1, 2013 i noticed a humming noise coming from the undercarriage upon braking and/or letting off the accelerator. The noise continued to get louder throughout my drive until i decided to pull over and inspect for a problem. I looked underneath the truck and at all 4 wheels and couldn't find the problem area. Upon leaving the parking lot i pulled back onto the freeway access road and reached 40 mph. I began to yield to exiting traffic and started slowing down. From the minute i started braking i heard the humming noise and felt a strong resistance. The slower my truck got the louder the noise was. Whenever i reached 20 mph my truck wheels seized up and i lost all control of my vehicle. My vehicle came to stop in the right hand lane of the access road. Upon exiting my vehicle i noticed the drive shaft laying on the ground. I tried to push the vehicle out of traffic but was not able to move it.

I have a 2010 ram with 50k miles on it and just got a wake up call. While running with rush hour traffic, i took my foot off the gas, heard a loud whine, then kablam!!! the rear of the truck locked up and kicked me dead sideways, luckily i had just gotten into a gap between traffic. Nothing like having a full size crew cab truck sliding sideways on an interstate in the middle of traffic. I managed to get the truck straightened up and as it was about to slide around the other way i heard the rear end explode and the rear wheels freed up and i got off the side of the road.kudos to the drivers behind me, cars and the 2 18 wheelers that were able to avoid t boning me as i went on this wonder ride. I climbed out the passenger door and called my dealer, they hooked me up with roadside and an hour later!!! with rush hour traffic just missing my truck by inches, i got to my dealer.they have yet to get it on the rack to look at it. I did crawl under it in the lot.drive shaft fell off. The pinion apparently came loose, i can see it inside the differential and all the threads are present. The drive shaft is beat all up, you can see where it hung on the frame when the truck went sideways. The front of the dif looks cracked, the pinion is inside the dif wedged against everything. The trans seams to be leaking fluid as well, cracked?????this is a major safety issue!!!! first mine is not the only ram this has happened to. My dealer has had 1 other in for the same issue, and another for no oil in the rear diff.its just a matter of time before this seriously hurts or kills someone. I have many moons of driving experience under my belt and was able to keep the truck from splattering. Call it skill, luck, whatever, but it could've turned out very badly.

There was no failure or accident involved.while renting a 2010 dodge ram pickup - shoulder harness was so high it rubbed my neck so raw i had to hold it away with left hand.shoulder harness designs are not taking into consideration people that are short 5' or less.the vehicle safety board needs to investigate why all the shoulder harnesses are mounted so high on the sidewall of the vehicle which in fact can cause serious bodily harm to a short person driving, if involved in a bad accident.i have had open heart surgery and have had a pacemaker implanted, and this extremely high seat belt nearly cuts my neck.my toyota tundra is also high, but not nearly so much as this rental dodge.
There is a major difference between the 2004 and 2010 dodge ram 1500 quad cab child restraint upper tether straps.the 2004 model year does have the inner anchor strap ring(s) installed for attaching the child seat tether strap hook.the part number for the 2004 upper tether strap is 55350981-ab.the 2010 model upper tether strap is 52029441-aa. If you put these two parts side by side the mounting of the brackets appear to be the same as far as mounting is concerned in the vehicle.the bracket for the 2004 model appears to be shorter in length than the 2010 model but the overall length of the parts are about the same. The webbing material on the 2010 model is made of a heavier quality (coarse thread) webbing material and the 2004 model has a webbing material (fine thread) similar to standard seat belt material. Chrysler / dodge has not followed this federal regulation for the upper tether anchorage on it?s 2010 dodge ram quad cab 1500 truck.the current tether strap in the 2010 model vehicle could not be considered as a tether anchorage point.all child seats with upper tether straps have a metal hook for which to clip into a tether anchor. The metal hook on child seat tethers by design is not meant to be clipped onto a loop of webbing only. Some technical advisors from chrysler / dodge have informed me and my dealership service manager on multiple occasions that the child seat tether hook is to be clipped onto the upper tether loop of webbing.however,if you utilize the 2010 model upper tether loop as child seat tether anchor the way in which this assembly is manufactured weakening of the webbing material could occur over time or during an accident because the webbing material would begin to be cut by the sharp edges of the bracket slot through which the webbing material goes through.
Child seat tether strap anchor rings on installed on 2010 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. The owner's manual clearly states in the child restraint installation sequence on page 75 paragraph 3 "pass each tether strap hook under the head restraint and through the loop of webbing behind the child seat" paragraph 4 states "route each tether strap to the anchor behind the center seat, and attach to the hooks to the metal ring" on page 76 as pictured item 1 the inner anchor strap ring(s) clearly shows the required anchor ring for the attachment of the child seat tether hook. The required 3 tether loop straps are installed as required but do not have the required metal anchor rings on either strap in order to attach the child car seat tether hook.this is a major safety issue for anyone wishing to properly install a child car/booster seat which has a tether strap for use.

Truck will start, run, and drive.but while you are driving with no warning it will die, leaving you without power steering and power brakes.put in neutral and it will start back up.you can't guess when it will die, or how many tries it will take to start again. It doesn't matter if you are in motion, turning, going fast or slow, or stationary.the problem happens in all situations.

I was driving down the road when all of a sudden my front end started to shake violently, i started to slow down but it didn't help until i came to a complete stop . I then heard light grinding coming from my front left side of truck. Before i could make it home witch was about 10 miles, the grinding and loss of steering had got so bad that i was driving 5-10 miles an hour. Barely made it home. The next morning i drove it to the best service shop in town which was 1/2 mile from where i lived and it took them a month and $1700.00 later to repair. Front axle,front bearing,calipers, a new disc and brakes,a front nuckle and drive spindle for the 4 wheel drive.
Trying to do buyback program. I paid over $37,000, only have 55000 miles , good condition and only being offered $12000. I still owe $3025.00 on my loan. I thought it was fair market value? please help. I have 6 kids i drive every day to 3 schools plus work. The trucks steeering is loose, brakes are crazy and im afraid im going to loose control or not be able to stop but the offer is rediculous.
I pulled onto a major highway after stopping at a yield sign.the truck reached about 35 mph and suddenly it felt like something was holding the back of the truck and wouldn't let it go any faster.i pushed down on the accelerator but the truck wouldn't go any faster.i took my foot off the accelerator and stepped on the brake and almost came to a complete stop.when i stepped on the accelerator again the truck seemed to be normal.
While i was driving 30 mph on a city street, my truck turned off unexpectedly and disabled the power steering and power braking making it very difficult to maneuver. I did notate the throttle control warning light did come on. This happened to me again in a parking garage while i was leaving, again disabling the power steering and power braking, though i was fortunate enough not to hit any cars while i was turning. My ignition switch 'win' module now acts up occasionally and the truck will turn over for a second, and then immediately turn off. I believe the root cause is the win module. Please reference recall # 11v139000 and 10v200000 as this exactly describes how my truck was in motion and was shut off due to a win module defect.

Brakes failed approaching a very busy intersection, while trying to slow down from a 55-mph zone. The pedal went all the way to the floor with no brake response. Luckily, i had the sense to pump the brakes quickly before plowing into the busy intersection! took the truck to the dodge dealership and was informed after a couple of days that the failure was due to the master boost pump, but they did not have one in stock. Basically, got my truck back a week later and was in shock over the cost to replace about a $125 part (around $500). I noticed that there had been recalls pertaining to problems in this area with previous year models and even 2010 year models, but was informed that my particular vin# was not affected...think they may need to look into this to avoid someone possibly being killed or killing someone from a similar problem! could have been catastrophic! at the very minimum, dodge should issue a tsb and should refund $$ for the repair!

We were driving our 2010 dodge ram 1500 on a county highway when we heard a loud whirring noise.as we approached a downhill section and my husband took his foot off the gas the noise went away, but came back louder as soon as he put his foot on the accelerator.instantly there was a big boom and the rear end of the vehicle locked up, the front end of the vehicle swerving with the back end jack knifing on the road while bouncing/bucking like motion given the tires felt as though they were also locked up.we could feel and hear something under the car bashing the undercarriage.there were no oncomers fortunately and my husband did manage to stop the vehicle just short of the guardrail and going over the ravine.the car was still half in the lane .. Horizontal to oncoming traffic.he turned on the hazards and i jumped out, it was dark with no lighting on the road and hard to see until the car behind us stopped to see if we were ok and said our drive shaft had disconnected.we removed our 2 young children from their carseats, waited on the side of the road and the men tried to move the truck out of oncoming traffic but the tires were locked.we called 911 for the police to give our children a safer place to stay out of oncoming traffic and to provide direction to oncoming traffic as we had a tow truck come out to bring the car to the nearby dodge dealership.the dealership looked at the car, informed us it was part of a recall but they didn't have the parts to fix it in stock.they did not offer an alternate vehicle to us and we are still awaiting word on what is happening at almost a week after this incident took place.for me the integrity of the entire drive shaft, undercarriage and all equipment/components of the vehile, tires which were showing signs of extreme wear and low on air are all now compromised.
I was driving down the road when all of a sudden my front end started to shake violently, i started to slow down but it didn't help until i came to a complete stop . I then heard light grinding coming from my front left side of truck. Before i could make it home witch was about 10 miles, the grinding and loss of steering had got so bad that i was driving 5-10 miles an hour. Barely made it home. The next morning i drove it to the best service shop in town which was 1/2 mile from where i lived and it took them a month and $1700.00 later to repair. Front axle,front bearing,calipers, a new disc and brakes,a front nuckle and drive spindle for the 4 wheel drive.
Electrical issues have been prevalent since the date of purchase in 2013. Must be a short in the entire truck somewhere. My lights on the passenger mirror blink all the time while running and or opening the door. Hubs/cv axleshave had to replace both driver and passenger side 3 times each now. This vehicle in not used and abused. I take care of it with regular maintenance. I have heard from others who own same year model and have seen online on forums others have had these issues also. This causes the cv, hubs, and rotors/brakes to be replaced.
When travelling at apprx 65mph after about an hr commute, the truck started shaking/trembling badly, steering wheel shaking side to side, i had to drop my speed to 25/30 mph to regain control of steering and shaking...after about 15 mins or so, it was back to normal...but once i started travelling again same distance & mph the issue started again... This issue is random, there are times it does it and times it doesnt, but most times its once the vehicle is at a high speed.

The 2010 dodge ram 1500 has suspension problems with the front ball joints being too small. This leads to my truck skipping on the highway and any bumpy roads and has caused me many, many times to suddenly loose control. On bumpy dirt roads it can happen at 35-45 mph. On the highway it is very bad between 55-60 mph if you hit any bump or even in a tight curve. This truck is highly unstable. When pulling a boat where less weight is on the front wheels, it multiplies the problem. I am forced to never go faster than 50mph on any curves that are remotely sharp.the second problem is not a active safety problem but is a horrible problem for emission. My truck has the infamous hemi tick. This is caused by faulty manifold bolts that either back off, rust off, or break off leaving gaps between the head and the manifold. Co2 is leaking out of the engine prior to going into the exhaust system. The epa should get involved...
Truck will start, run, and drive.but while you are driving with no warning it will die, leaving you without power steering and power brakes.put in neutral and it will start back up.you can't guess when it will die, or how many tries it will take to start again. It doesn't matter if you are in motion, turning, going fast or slow, or stationary.the problem happens in all situations.
2010 dodge ram 1500 hemi traveling at highway speed when instantly the gauge cluster started acting erratic. First the tire pressure display said that different tires were showing a multitude of different pressures the gas gauge started flickering between full and empty as well as the stop working of the speedometer and tachometer air-conditioned, power steering and continual windshield wiper on even though they were off at the switch. Radio intermittently on and off and abs and airbag light on and off intermittently. All four windows fail to operate and interior lighting will not come on. Gauge function fluctuates every couple second.

While i was driving 30 mph on a city street, my truck turned off unexpectedly and disabled the power steering and power braking making it very difficult to maneuver. I did notate the throttle control warning light did come on. This happened to me again in a parking garage while i was leaving, again disabling the power steering and power braking, though i was fortunate enough not to hit any cars while i was turning. My ignition switch 'win' module now acts up occasionally and the truck will turn over for a second, and then immediately turn off. I believe the root cause is the win module. Please reference recall # 11v139000 and 10v200000 as this exactly describes how my truck was in motion and was shut off due to a win module defect.
The vehicle started making a grinding sound, then started jerking right before it abruptly came to a complete stop.upon getting out of the vehicle to see what had happened, the rear drive shaft was disconnected from the truck and hanging down on the road.we then tried to put the vehicle in neutral and push it off of the main road we were on to a safer side road.the truck was completely locked up and would not move forward or backwards.upon researching the problem, it has came to my attention that this is part of the safety recall that has been issued by dodge.
Violet shaking of the whole vehicle, and won't stop until you slow, more riders-worse the affect.
Safety recall 12v-474 for 2010 ram 1500 could not be performed due to parts not available.currently, safety recall 17v-821, which could case a parked vehicle to suddenly roll away, does not have a remedy due to lack of parts.both of these recalls are either unable or were unable to be performed due to lack of parts.12v-474 is the exact same recall as 12v474000, chrysler number m34, "the nut securing the rear axle pinion my loosen because an adhesive patch was not installed during vehicle assembly. If the nut loosens, the axle can lock up with little warning, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash".i was told by chrysler recall group that my vehicle is not eligible for the buyback program, even though my vehicle is the same model year with the same recalled issue (12v-474) loose pinion nut as those eligible.in addition, there is now another drive train recall for which i cannot receive repair due to lack of parts.
I own a 2010 dodge ram slt.i recently had it in to have the rear axle pinion nut replaced and was told i have bad tie rod ends.at 46,000 miles i found this hard to believe.after further investigation it was accurate that my tie rod ends were bad.i replaced both tie rod ends at 46,000 miles. Then had to pay for an alignment of course.this is a huge concern for me because i transport my children to and from school daily.how is it possible that at 46,000 miles my tie rod ends need replacement.this could have also led to my tires needing to be replaced at 36,000 miles even though they were rotated every 6 k.chrysler has issued a recall for ram 2500 and up for replacing the tie rod ends because of moisture and dirt that gets into the ball and socket.maybe they should have included the 1500 as well.
Rear axle pinion nut recall - known to cause accidents upon failure - 4 cases already.manufacturer acknowledged the safety recall in january 2013 and sent out safety recall notices to all consumers that the recall affects.i have called the local dealerships numerous times regarding the recall and they simply say that the parts are not available.nine months after the recall notice distribution i contacted dodge corporate to find out why the parts are not available and they state that dodge has failed to secure a vendor to supply the product.this concerns me a great deal that dodge puts the consumer in danger by not being responsible and making the repairs needed.this recalled part can cause a driver to lose control of their vehicle and injure themselves as well as others.

This vehicle has a binding wireless ignition module (win) resulting in a condition where the key may be removed from the ignition switch prior to placing the shifter in park. Exactly the same as nhtsa recall reference #10v200000. This vehicle simply does not have the matching part numbers of the recall. But exactly the same thing happened and wireless ignition node (win) needs to be replaced.
Driving on the freeway approximately 70 mph i hit a few bumps causing a wobble in front end and steering making the truck almost jump out of its lane. This caused other cars to swerve. No accident but this is a major safety issue.
I parked my vehicle, turned it off went inside for a few minutes. Came out started it up. With my foot on the brake, i tried to put it in gear (automatic transmission) would not go in gear the shifter wouldn't move. I tried a few more times and it finally went into gear. This has happened 2 times on the same day on 3 different days.

2010 dodge ram 1500 with 61,000 miles with the steering column bearing failing- through research other 2010's are having the same issue. The steering wheel is popping, grabbing and catching. Called manufacturer they said out of warranty, not their responsibility- starting to feel dangerous to drive
Truck broke down when driving city street normal conditions. Drive shaft fell off and broke in two. Related to safety recall n08 - rear axle pinion nut opened april 2013. Extensive damage done to truck, $13k or so in parts alone or more than truck value.had my truck since june 2020, just now informing me they will not cover any damages caused by the safety recall issue (only the recall repairs which is minimal). Do i have any recourse with chrysler? are they correct in their handling or do they owe me some kind of fair settlement payout since the damages are worth more than the truck value (trade in around $12k).
The steering wheel pops and clicks when turning and will suddenly changes lanes.when putting it in park the gear shift will not allow the key to come out of the ignition switch.the ram 1500 should have a steering recall just like the rest of them they use the same parts.
Leaving work,i attempted to turn at intersection and steering seemed to lock, then i was able to turn with great effort.took to dealership and was told rack and pinion unit had failed.at 47000 miles this seems to be a manufacturing defect that needs attention before someone is seriously injured.

Truck shakes in the back while driving.
As i was approaching truck moving same direction in other lane (4 lane divided) it had a rack on top with metal siding on it not tied down cause the wind caught it a it came right into my path. I brake and steered right. And it was all over. I took it to dealer told them that it was not right they checked had not heard of any problems. Then it happend again doing 65 i was sideways into on coming traffic in split second and stopped within 150 feet if i had not counter steered as fast as anyone could. In both cases it would have rolled. Told dealer it should not be on the road. They wanted to test drive my rt truck and see if they could get it sideways i told them not on my insurance or without a test track and a wet skidpad and roll cage. Bottom line my truck is unsafe and have been waiting for something to happen. I do not drive it nowhere but work with both hands on the wheel and stability control off. I think the computer that senses a skid is not right like it made the wrong tire lock up. My truck has done it twice. Bet it can again if you want to check. Please get on this before some one ishurt or worse like i told the dealer. It could have been your wife and kids in the truck or on the road coming at a truck that was out of control and no fault of there own. I know how test for this problem.

While driving at any speed in sunny day light there is a glare on the chrome finished ring around center console that impairs the driver`s and passenger`s vision almost to that you can`t see anything.
Mechanisims that hold all four doors open in the half and full position on my 2010 dodge ram crew cab truck do not hold door secure enough to prevent accidental unwanted closing of door which in turn strikes person while entering/exiting vehicle. While serious injury has not occurred yet, it's only a matter of time before it does. I am especially concerned for hand, finger, or head type injuries with children and even adults not aware of this condition when entering or exiting my vehicle. Even though i am very aware of this situation i could also get hit by a door unexpectedly. My dealer feels, and i agree, problem does not appear to be result of defective manufacturing or improper installation but rather improperly designed parts. Replacement of affected parts in like kind would only result in same problem. Re-designed parts such as stronger compression spring and/or increased depth of scallops in holding bars are necessary to more firmly hold doors on their detent until occupant desires to close door with his or her hand.
Dashboard cracking.
2010 dodge ram 1500 pickup in white 8 months old,rust spots or blemishes bleeding thru paint after being thoroughly cleaned and protested with 2 coats ofliquid glass auto polish.
Dashboard cracked in three places all within a couple of weeks. (july 2010)there have been no wrecks or stress placed upon the vehicle before this happened.dodge should be forced to replace this dashboard because it is defective plus poses an extra hazardous situation if there was a collision, pieces of the dashboard plastic may become deadly projectiles, injuring or even killing the occupants of this truck.
The oil pan on my 2010 dodge ram 1500 is rusted through so the oil leaks out any time the motor is running.i have had to add as much as 1 quart of motor oil after driving only 50 miles.this should be a recall because if the oil all drains out then the motor will seize up and the whole truck becomes garbage!it feels like it was made of very thin/cheap metal because when i tighten the oil drain plug, the whole end of the oil pan flexes under very little torque.
The contact owns a 2010 ram 1500. The contact took the vehicle to perkins motors (1205 motor city dr., colorado springs, co 80905, 855-832-3989) for routine service. The technician informed the contact that the tire rotation could not be performed because two of the tires were of different brands; therefore, the tread depths were uneven. The manufacturer was notified and informed the dealer that the tires had to have the same tread depth in order to be rotated. The contact asked for the information in writing since it was not listed in the owner's service manual. The technician replied that it was proprietary information and could not be made public. The tires were not rotated. The failure mileage was 131,609.
I noticed that the front bumper on my 2010 dodge ram 1500 is developing rust on the front bumper. I went to my local dodge dealer and was informed that this would not be covered under warranty.i contacted chrysler and was informed to take the vehicle to another dealer which took photographs of the damage.the dealer submitted these photos to chrysler.chrysler denied my claim under warranty for the rust on the front bumper.chrysler stated that it had been rock chips that caused the damage. What seems odd about the chips is that i have normal finish and rust spots.there are no chips with just primer left which you might have when having rock chips.i have never owned a vehicle that started to have problems with rust within a year. This makes me question the long term viability of this vehicle and to question the purchase of this automobile.
After hand washing my truck, i notices significant defect in the chrome parts on the truck. Most of the chrome is covered in corrosion and discoloration. This problem was first noted when the truck was one year old but was very minor. The defects have spread and become a major issue on the bumpers, wheels, steps, and trim. I went to the dealer and met with the regional chrysler rep who informed me that this would not be covered. They took the stance that the damage was due to something picked up on the road. I am the original owner of the truck and have driven nothing but highways and city streets. This corrosion is concerning for a 2 year old truck with 18000 miles that is well cared for and garage kept. Chrysler needs to stand by its products and ensure a quality product. If a 2 year old truck is covered in rust it's value is significantly reduced.
The rear back up sensors starts to work very late. When i put my truck in reverse (leaving my child at school) i went about 10ft when i hit a lightning pole it start to work when the pole was about 1 ft and i cant brake.thank godthe result my chrome bumper was damaged i thought it was a child.recently i put the truck entering in reverse to my garage and the wall was about 1 ft and the sensor indicates 3 ft. (3 lines) in the dash monitor. Thanks. Other than since new the truck works perfect! but i think its a very important issue. Thanks again.

2/25 i discovered the frame crossmember where one of the two straps which hold up the fuel tank rusted away to the point that the strap has fallen out of the frame. I contacted ram customer care via online chat asking for a repair estimate, if they could verify that the part number i have located can actually rectify the situation, if they could verify if the tsb i've located is related to this issue, and if they could advise which dealer close to me has an on-site body shop to perform the repair and if they're highly rated by fca, and their only response was to advise they can schedule an appointment for me and provide the number for roadside assistance, which they were unwilling to cover transportation costs. The attached files show the strap itself which is intact, the portion of the frame which the strap pulled out of and is rusted, a picture of how low the fuel tank is currently hanging, and the pdf of the conversation with the fca representative which occurred 2/27.
The exhaust manifold bolts have sheered off just like they do on most 5.7 hemi rams.also, the blend door actuators/blend door are broken just like in lots of other rams/chrysler vehicles.
On march 22, 2014 my wife stepped on the driver's side nerf bar to enter the truck. Before she could enter the nerf bar pulled completely out of the body of the vehicle and fell to the ground. I immediately took the truck to a dealer for inspection and possible repair. I was informed that the factory would not cover the repair unless there was rust or corrosion on the body. I called chrysler and the representative told me the same thing. I tried to file with my insurance, but they refused coverage because it was a factory defect. I was able to find a shop to repair the problem. They had to special order six reinforced plates with rivnuts to repair both sides because the passenger side was pulling out of the metal as well. The total cost came to $519.83. The shop said this was a dodge ram specific problem that they had seen before.
The contact owns a 2010 ram 1500. Upon inspecting underneath the vehicle, the contact noticed premature rust, corrosion, and holes associated with the frame from the front to the rear. The failure progressed to the point that it could affect components attached to the frame pertaining to the fuel tank. The dealer (button chrysler jeep dodge ram, 1220 e blvd st, kokomo, in 46902, (765) 360-4063) was able to verify that the manufacturer would provide a solution; however, the part was on a national backorder. The dealer did not have a date or time frame for when the part would become available from the manufacturer. In addition, the contact later received notification of an unknown manufacturer recall for the fuel system concerning the fuel tank and railings. The dealer stated that the parts were not available. The vehicle remained parked due to the failure and there was no specified time frame for when the parts would arrive. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the failure was a known issue. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
When turning on to the highway you can not see on the passenger side. The metal part of the cab between the passenger window and the rear window creates a blind spot. I have almost pulled in front of a vehicle 3-4 or more times. Vehicle was not moving or may have been moving 1 mph. Vehicle was making a left hand turn out of a parking lot onto the highway. Vehicle is a regular cab truck. Thank you.
I have rail dust all over my paint.for those of you who don't know what this is it is small flakes of steel that come up off of the railway when a train hits its brakes.because these vehicles are transported via railroads they all will have this problem.the train hits its brakes and the small flakes of steel are so hot that they embed in the paint.you can remove some of this rust by using a clay bar but you will never get it all removed.i owned a 2008 ram that had the same problem.it is surface rust and looks horrible.i also have rust on all of my chrome parts as well.this is a huge problem for a truck that is only 3 years old.to have rust all over the truck is ridiculous.dodge needs to rectify this problem immediately.other vehicle manufacturers that use the railway have the same problem.manufacturers that don't use the railway do not.

There is rust spots on the bed of the truck coming through the paint. I took into dealer to ask about it, they took pictures and i have not heard back since. Is this a problem with dodge paint? my truck is white, therefor it is quite noticeable.
Bumpers, front and rear both exhibit rust.there is supposed to be a "corrosion" warranty from dodge, but they claim that this "type of rust" is not covered.a brand new vehicle should not rust from behind the paint.dodge refuses to help with this situation.

Violet shaking of the whole vehicle, and won't stop until you slow, more riders-worse the affect.
While driving my 2010 dodge power wagon ( cc, 5.7 liter engine with no modification) at highway speeds i hit a small bump and the front end began to "shimmy", really bounce out of control for a moment or two.i slowed down, gripped the steering wheel and it eventually settled down.this "shimmy" isn't consistent as it does not always happen, even over the same bump on the road.help.
The contact owns a 2010 ram 1500. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle hit a bump in the road and the front driver side tire detached without warning. The vehicle was towed to mac haik dodge chrysler jeep ram (11000 north fwy, houston, tx 77037 (281) 447-9500) where it was diagnosed with a front driver side ball and tie rod fracture that needed repair. The vehicle was currently at the dealer for repairs. The contact found nhtsa campaign number: 10v657000 (steering) online at nhtsa.gov. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that the vin was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 111,000.
While travelling on a highway (straight away) my left front wheel bearing let go causing tire and rotor to disconnect from vehicle causing significant damage.after having the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership they discovered that the front right wheel bearing was in very bad shape, needing replacement.vehicle has under 65000 miles on it.previous bearings on dodge ram trucks have been recalled for similar issues.there was no previous vibration or steering issue until the wheel came loose.
On 11-8-14, i took a 2010 dodge ram 1500 truck in for engine repairs. The mechanic noted both front lower ball joints needed replaced. A search for the needed parts revealed no replacement parts available for at least 30 to 60 days. Four weeks later on 12-5-14, a fluid leak was noted from the front end. It was found that the right front axle seal needed replaced immediately, due to a heavy leak.the normal repair would involve replacing the lower front ball joint to enter the axle to get to the seal. This could not be done since no lower front ball joints could be found to complete the repair. The mechanic accessed the axle seal by going thru the top of the axle. The seal will again have to be replaced when lower ball joints become available, at a cost of an additional $150.this situation presents a risk to the driver and motoring public, since the necessary parts can not be sourced. It creates a risk that the lubricating fluid inside the axle will leak out, which could result in the axle "tying up,"causing the driver to loose control and crash. Chrysler will not, or can not make the necessary parts available to its dealers or independent mechanics. There are also no "after-market" parts on the market that could be used to safely complete repairs.
I can not understand why it is taking so long to get this recall fixed on my truck. I have been calling every since they mailed it to me. I am always told so sorry we are still trying to get the parts shipped out to the dealers. Oh we do not know what is taking so long, oh yes we will call you when the parts are ready. Well this recall has been going on for quite some time now and i do not understand why they are so far behind. It says my rear axil can freeze up and cause a major accident...so if this is true then why do they not have the parts after this long? there has been no problem with the truck yet but then i do not drive it very far since it may lock up the rear end and cause me or my family to be hurt...along with someone else in their car!!!! i call my local dealer and i get the same crap for an answer.....
The 2010 dodge ram 1500 has suspension problems with the front ball joints being too small. This leads to my truck skipping on the highway and any bumpy roads and has caused me many, many times to suddenly loose control. On bumpy dirt roads it can happen at 35-45 mph. On the highway it is very bad between 55-60 mph if you hit any bump or even in a tight curve. This truck is highly unstable. When pulling a boat where less weight is on the front wheels, it multiplies the problem. I am forced to never go faster than 50mph on any curves that are remotely sharp.the second problem is not a active safety problem but is a horrible problem for emission. My truck has the infamous hemi tick. This is caused by faulty manifold bolts that either back off, rust off, or break off leaving gaps between the head and the manifold. Co2 is leaking out of the engine prior to going into the exhaust system. The epa should get involved...

This is to file a complaint about our recall on n08/nhtsa 13v-038 notice on april 22, 2013.we have taken the truck twice and have been told burns motors that they do not have the parts. We are just documenting that we are still pending this recall.
While i was driving on a highway, i heard a terrible sound out of the rear of my ram truck. I tried to stop my vehicle as soon as i could while the sound kept on getting even more terrible. When i stopped and looked at the bottom of the vehicle, the driveshaft fell off from the rear of the vehicle and oil spilled on road. There was no warning or no engine light signal in the vehicle electronics before or after this happened. Has the vehicle been on a freeway with a speedlimit of 100 km/hr or so, i think it would have been really tough to control the vehicle in this break-down and it could have resulted in a fatal accident. The vehicle was not in a position to be driven further and i had to get it towed to a nearest chrysler dealership in coquitlam, british columbia, canada.it has been days now and i have not yet heard back from chrysler dealership that what is the cause of this problem and what will be done to fix this issue. On checking with dealership, they say that they have no solution to this problem till now. Luckily, my vehicle is still inside the warranty period and so the dealership says that the cost to repair will be covered, but they have no fixed timeline on how soon they can fix it. I tried reaching out to chrysler and filed a complaint about this, but the response from chrysler is not very helpful and they are not at all worried about my sufferings and loss that i am currently facing due to this vehicle not being available/ready for my use yet.
When travelling at apprx 65mph after about an hr commute, the truck started shaking/trembling badly, steering wheel shaking side to side, i had to drop my speed to 25/30 mph to regain control of steering and shaking...after about 15 mins or so, it was back to normal...but once i started travelling again same distance & mph the issue started again... This issue is random, there are times it does it and times it doesnt, but most times its once the vehicle is at a high speed.

I purchased a new 2010 dodge 1500 ram pickup three weeks ago. Since that time intermediate the lights for the antilock brakes and traction control come on and off while driving down the road as well as several other electrical components not working or working off and on. I contacted the dealer and they informed me that i should pop the hood because the main electrical block under the hood on some have had not properly connected plugs on the back and they may vibrate loose and i should wiggle them around and see if that fixes the problem. I will take the truck in for them to try and repair but it appears to me that if the connector is loose on these that the power interruption to the circuit will make the abs and traction control systems inoperable for the period of time the lights are illuminated and could cause accidents if this occurs at the wrong time. I have pics and video of the issues. There is also to give a bigger scope of the blocks looseness no heated seat except driver no cooled seat except driver all 4 positions are supposed to be heated and cooled. The radio works off and on, the power pedals don't work at all. There is as a unrelated note an intermittent knock in the lower part of the engine.

The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (hvac) actuator gears onmy vehicle have broken, resulting in the inability tofully control the hvac functions.there was a k17 recall for models: 2009-2010(ds)ram truck (1500 series)2010 (dj)ram truck (2500 series), 2010(d2)ram truck (3500 series) note:this recall only applied to the above vehicles built through may 22, 2010 (mdh 05222010). My vehicle is 2010 and was made after may 22 (i believe in july) i think this recall should apply to all 2010 ram 1500 vehicles as mine is affected but currently not included in the recall.to correct this condition, all involved vehicles must have updated hvac control head software installed and the mode door actuators must be tested and replaced as required.how can i have my 2010 vehicle included in the recall to repair this known problem.
Loud thumping behind dash. Have had a/c and heat actuators replaced 2x in past 2 years. Recall k17 applied and problem is still not fixed. Vehicle is unsafe because there is no heat and defrosters do not work in the winter when outside temperatures are below 20 degrees. Thumping behind dash occurs when car is started, while driving, and when the vehicle is off.
As you're driving, regardless of where-when you come across a bump in the road, hole, speed bump, railroad tracks, etc.; the entire front end of the truck jumps. The steering wheel moves completely from your hands. This has caused several very close encounters while driving down the highway. The truck jumps and shimmies from side to side. This happens every time you drive, regardless of the speed. The car dealer said it was a result of leakage in the seals with the shocks. However, there is still a problem.
I'm getting the run around from fca us llc on having my vehicle appraised for repurchase.as stated in thenhtsa consent order against fca us llc page 13 sec 35, " the alternative remedy will be an offer to eligible owners to refund the purchase price paid by the first purchaser of the vehicle for purposes other than resale, less a reasonable allowance for depreciation, and not including the cost of modifications made to the vehicle after first retail sale("the purchase price"). 1. Why are they using the kbb trade in value for estimating the repurchase?2. How do i find the first purchase price and shouldn't they start there?3. Why wasn't fca us llc ready on the announced date of oct 1, 2015 to handle this repurchase?3. Why are they allowed to keep putting the owners of these vehicles off until they accrue more miles on the vehicle, allowing fca us llc to pay less? i've been told it could take up to three to four weeks to even get a appointment for the appraisal then longer to get a "offer letter".4. What is the nhtsa doing about these issues.5. How do you contact the appointed monitor that was placed there by the nhtsa to oversee these proceedings and make sure fca us llc is conducting business properly.i feel as though, fca us llc is being allowed to continually make the consumer pay for their misconduct. The nhtsa has ordered them to do this correctly however it doesn't feel like the are there to assist the consumer.thank you and i look forward to hearing from you on these matters.
I'm getting no warm air from the heating system, and i think this has something to do with recall k17

I noticed the vehicle making a humming/rubbing sound coming from the rear end when moving 20-35mph and coming to a stop. I parked the vehicle until i was able to get it to the dealership, so the technician could test drive and locate the problem.upon his initial leaving he heard nothing so he proceeded to pick up the speed to 55mph to check for vibration in a neutral coast down.upon reaching 45mph the drive-shaft completely snapped and separated from the rear end assembly, resulting in the rear end completely locking up and sending the truck spinning out of control and the drive shaft swinging violently underneath the truck until the truck came to rest in the middle of the road. Upon further inspection when the truck was towed back to the dealership the technician noticed the rack and pinion assembly completely unthreaded itself from the driveshaft resulting in a catastrophic failure of the rear end. As a result it completely destroyed the gears and components within the rear end housing including deep gashes into the housing itself rendering it unsafe to re-build on. The dealership has since ordered a whole new rear end assembly to be purchased and placed on the truck and currently waiting on parts as i write this letter.
I bought a 2010 dodge ram in 2012 . The truck had 48,xxx miles on it . The pinion nut and tie-rod had failed and the repairs made . In early 2015 the pinion nut failed again , causing me to almost loose control of the truck and crash . The repairs were again made . When i heard about the lawsuit against chrysler fiat i called them to check if my truck would be one that was on the buyback list . I was told that that trucks with the pinion nut were , after being put on hold i was told my truck wasn't in the bracket for the right pinion nut failure . The lady then stated that the tie-rods were another case for buy back . When told my truck had that repair she stated its another tie-rod recall . When asked what were the correct failures and recalls she stated she could not give me that information . Why is it they are being forced to buy back these vehicles but make excuses when it comes time too . I am scared to drive this truck . If and when i have to drive or travel far i will rent a car .
I'm filing a complaint as to how some dealers are not taking the recall seriously that was issued for the dodge ram trucks. The dealership in particular was hayes chrysler in duluth ga. The service representative ([xxx]) was rude and put the repair off for an additional month from today's date. If the recall is serious enough to be issued then the dealerships should make an effort to take care of the safety issue in a timely manner and at least show some professionalism, rather than showing the customer they don't want or care to complete the work.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My ignition is not working correctly. Sometimes it will just turn off when the truck is going down the road. Sometimes it does not want to start the truck you have to try 4 or 5 times to get it to start the truck. Sometimes you cannot turn the truck off. Sometimes the key fob gets stuck in the ignition.
Driving down the road my drive shaft fell out causing 6000$ of damage. Investigation re reviled a recall because the nut that hold the shaft in was coming loose causing it to fall. Upon getting the vehicle to a dealership they said the recall had been fixed in 2014. They inspected the vehicle and said that the remedy for the recall was not in place but claim that between the recall being done and the time of the incident the remedy could have been removed. We have owned the vehicle for 2 years and this id the only problem we have had.
The truck bed is seperating from truck cab . It shows about a 2 foot gap.
Loud clicking under dash.loss of air from vents. Clicking will continue. Sometimes it stops and blows air again.also no air to back.

Rer 730n uconnect radios (and possibly others) suffer from a bluetooth disconnect issue which can be remedied as described/reported by me to uconnect customer care in case #27903984.the issue at hand is that phones (mainly apple iphone's using icloud services) are disconnected from the radios and are subsequently unable to reconnect.i have reported a potential fix to the issue to uconnect and was advised that they will no longer offer support for the radio.the radio in my model year vehicle is also available up until 2013 chrysler vehicles and i find it concerning and disheartening that chrysler/fiat/uconnect will not support such a recent generation radio.the ability to use bluetooth is essential in todays society as making and receiving phone calls and text messages has become the way of life.should drivers be unable to use their vehicle's native bluetooth handsfree it could lead to potential dangers as drivers will more than likely have to manually answer their calls/texts/etc.i do understand that other bluetooth options exists however chrysler/fiat/uconnect failing to support their radio which was sold with this feature is unacceptable and poor business ethics.the most recent software version for my vehicle is rer_2.404 which was supplied to me by chrysler with a purchased map update for the radio's gps navigation.

While driving at any speed in sunny day light there is a glare on the chrome finished ring around center console that impairs the driver`s and passenger`s vision almost to that you can`t see anything.
When turning on to the highway you can not see on the passenger side. The metal part of the cab between the passenger window and the rear window creates a blind spot. I have almost pulled in front of a vehicle 3-4 or more times. Vehicle was not moving or may have been moving 1 mph. Vehicle was making a left hand turn out of a parking lot onto the highway. Vehicle is a regular cab truck. Thank you.
2010 dodge ram 1500 hemi traveling at highway speed when instantly the gauge cluster started acting erratic. First the tire pressure display said that different tires were showing a multitude of different pressures the gas gauge started flickering between full and empty as well as the stop working of the speedometer and tachometer air-conditioned, power steering and continual windshield wiper on even though they were off at the switch. Radio intermittently on and off and abs and airbag light on and off intermittently. All four windows fail to operate and interior lighting will not come on. Gauge function fluctuates every couple second.
The defrost on my 2010 ram 1500 p/u is covered under recall k-17 that reprograms the hvac software and tests that all the actuators which direct heat and airflow are working.i contacted dodge recall and confirmed the recall # and applicability to my truck.i was told by the recall specialist that the truck had the completed recall but that it could be completed twice under the recall.i am the second owner of the truck.i was told i had to take the truck to the deal where the recall was accomplished.chrysler could not tell me which dealer di the recall,i contacted several dealerships trying to get the hvac actuator for the defrost scheduled for repair.i cited that w/o defrost driving is dangerous and as fall is coming i would like to schedule an appointment.i received estimates between 1 /12 hrs labor to 7 hrs.i am concerned that chrysler recall specialist provide false information and cannot get a dealership to complete recall repairs.i also have a rear pinion nut recall and received the same feedback to call a dealership and schedule an appointment and i am pushed out 2-3 weeks without a commitment the repair will be no charge.this complaint is to highlight the poor customer service and recall resolution car customers endure, and the decisions to park the vehicle or repair it, and fight for reimbursement.the auto companies are not required or do not resolve recalls to the satisfaction of the customer the vehicle owner.please help me understand what my rights are and what i can demand from chrysler or its dealerships.
The exhaust manifold bolts have sheered off just like they do on most 5.7 hemi rams.also, the blend door actuators/blend door are broken just like in lots of other rams/chrysler vehicles.
The contact owns a 2010 ram 1500. The contact stated that the air door actuator did not close. As a result, hot air entered during the summer and cold air was present during the winter. The failure prevented the windows from defrosting, which caused visibility issues. Roseville chrysler jeep dodge ram (2805 long lake rd, roseville, mn 55113, (651) 968-1199) stated that the vehicle was not under warranty. The dealer stated that the repair would cost less than $3,000. The manufacturer stated that there was a recall in canada for the failure, but not in the united states. The contact stated that he had the same failure repaired back in 2011 at the cost of $2,800. The failure mileage was 60,000. The vin was unknown.
Upon starting vehicle i heard some type of gear grinding/knocking, sometimes it happens when i turn the key off too. Along with this i noticed i had no heating control which kept me from de fogging my wind shield or having heat in general. Could be a big issue if the windows were iced over. Has happened randomly over the last several weeks and i have finally disconnected the blend door actuator located behind the glove compartment. Will contact dealership.
The contact owns a 2010 ram 1500. The contact stated that the defroster failed to defrost the windshield. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to haddad dodge ram (3000 harris rd, bakersfield, ca 93313, (661)-398-0264) where it was diagnosed that the hvac system failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 76,000.
Defroster stop blowing on windshield, however, itwould blow out other vents, tech found that the mode 2 actuator had an internal open circuit, dealer removed and replaced the mode 2 actuator.i submitted documentation for reimbursement since this is a known problem. [xxx]. My claim was denied , i was told my vehicle did not have a recall.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The hvac system in the truck failed. Air will not flow through the dash face vents or defrost vents. Brought to dealer for repair. Dealer said that one or two "mode door actuators need to be replaced" they said the dash board needed to be removed and it could cost several thousand dollars. Upon researching the problem i found there was a recall issued for the mode door actuators and to reprogram the control head software (k17). My truck had the software update in 2012. The dealer refused to replace the mode door actuators under recall because they said the software update was performed. I called chrysler customer service and asked about the k17 recall. They said they will not cover the repair because i refused further diagnostics. The only other diagnostics the dealer said needed to be done was to remove the dashboard to see if it was one or two bad actuators and the cost in labor to remove the dash would be several thousand dollars. They know what the problem is they just don't know how many actuators are defective. The cost of the parts is minimal but the labor is not. I feel that dodge/chrysler should make good on the recall repair as it is a hazard not being able to clear frost from the windshield due to the defective parts.
It is -15 degrees fahrenheit today in wisconsin at noon.something in the hvac system quit working.the heat works great, but when i change the selector from floor/vent/defrost nothing happens. The heat only blows on the floor.i hear a constant (flapping) noise from under the dash board.i have tried several times starting and turning off the truck, adjusting the selector knob to apply the air to all positions and it still only blows on my feet.keeps on flapping under the dash board.how is it (safe) to drive without having operational windshield defrost.i looked online at several forums and have seen many others with the same problem.hopefully they will report the problem as i am doing now.its going to be cold tonight again since it will be winter around here for another 2-3 months, so i hope i am safe till it get fixed.i truly hope this report gets fixed as this in my opinion is a serious safety issue.its like driving blind or myself and others with this problem may as well be texting and driving if we cant see out the windshield.sorry if this comes off with an attitude.not intended that way.
We have a 2010 dodge ram 1500 with approximately 32000 miles the hvac actuator gears on our vehicle are broken. I have found that there was a recall for this very thing for 2010 dodge ram trucks. However when i called chrysler i was told my vin # was not included in this recall. Because it was manufactured at a different plant. The cost of this repair is approximately $1000.00i have a letter that was sent to the affected owners it was markednotification code k17 it is titled:reprogram hvac control head and inspect/replace actuators.

After hand washing my truck, i notices significant defect in the chrome parts on the truck. Most of the chrome is covered in corrosion and discoloration. This problem was first noted when the truck was one year old but was very minor. The defects have spread and become a major issue on the bumpers, wheels, steps, and trim. I went to the dealer and met with the regional chrysler rep who informed me that this would not be covered. They took the stance that the damage was due to something picked up on the road. I am the original owner of the truck and have driven nothing but highways and city streets. This corrosion is concerning for a 2 year old truck with 18000 miles that is well cared for and garage kept. Chrysler needs to stand by its products and ensure a quality product. If a 2 year old truck is covered in rust it's value is significantly reduced.
The contact owns a 2010 ram 1500. While driving 62 mph, the rear of the vehicle spun out of control and crashed into a barricade. There were no injuries. There was no warning indicator.

The vin was unavailable.
We were driving our 2010 dodge ram 1500 on a county highway when we heard a loud whirring noise.as we approached a downhill section and my husband took his foot off the gas the noise went away, but came back louder as soon as he put his foot on the accelerator.instantly there was a big boom and the rear end of the vehicle locked up, the front end of the vehicle swerving with the back end jack knifing on the road while bouncing/bucking like motion given the tires felt as though they were also locked up.we could feel and hear something under the car bashing the undercarriage.there were no oncomers fortunately and my husband did manage to stop the vehicle just short of the guardrail and going over the ravine.the car was still half in the lane .. Horizontal to oncoming traffic.he turned on the hazards and i jumped out, it was dark with no lighting on the road and hard to see until the car behind us stopped to see if we were ok and said our drive shaft had disconnected.we removed our 2 young children from their carseats, waited on the side of the road and the men tried to move the truck out of oncoming traffic but the tires were locked.we called 911 for the police to give our children a safer place to stay out of oncoming traffic and to provide direction to oncoming traffic as we had a tow truck come out to bring the car to the nearby dodge dealership.the dealership looked at the car, informed us it was part of a recall but they didn't have the parts to fix it in stock.they did not offer an alternate vehicle to us and we are still awaiting word on what is happening at almost a week after this incident took place.for me the integrity of the entire drive shaft, undercarriage and all equipment/components of the vehile, tires which were showing signs of extreme wear and low on air are all now compromised.

M34 recall - we brought the car to dealer april 2013 and they could not fix the recall yet (we have this documented - "as per tech not in effect yet").on 8/31 we were on northern state parkway (eastbound) around 8pm when the car failed - very loud noise, loss of vehicle control, hit a curb and barely exited the parkway at route 110 exit. Vehicle could not move and realized the drive shaft came off and a passing car hit the drive shaft, several cars had to swerve around it, the car fluid leaking, etc.we had to call aaa and arrange a tow truck ($181.95 paid up front),arrange transportation for our 12 year old daughter who was in the car at the time of the incident and my wife and i were transported by the tow truck. This ordeal took 2 hours.we arranged for dealer to tow the car on 9/4 - smith haven chrysler jeep dodge, saint james, ny. The dealer has informed us that can repair the damage caused by the rear locking up and the drive shaft coming lose, but they do not have the part to fix the m34 recall.i opened case #23907979 with chrysler 9/5.i am getting conflicting information since chrysler representative informs me that the parts are available cbakm343aa, cbakm344aa, cbakm345aa, cbakm346aa but will "take a while" to get and that the dealer can only order/recieve one of the four parts at a time.this does not make sense to me.however, the smith haven dealer and nhtsa records (reference # 565888) indicate the parts to fix m34 are not available.therefore, i am getting conflicting information regarding the ability to address the recall while the dealer is in the process of repairing the damages and returning the vehicle with the recall issue unaddressed and my family and i are facing a repeat of a potentially dangerous failure at any time in the future.
While travelling on a highway (straight away) my left front wheel bearing let go causing tire and rotor to disconnect from vehicle causing significant damage.after having the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership they discovered that the front right wheel bearing was in very bad shape, needing replacement.vehicle has under 65000 miles on it.previous bearings on dodge ram trucks have been recalled for similar issues.there was no previous vibration or steering issue until the wheel came loose.
Front wheel bearing assemblies failing ,have replaced both sides on 2010 dodge as well as my 2009 chrysler 300c problems with faulty wheel bearing at chrysler???
I was driving vehicle at 55 mph along undivided 2 lane highway.differential began to make whining noise and then within 1-2 minutes the rear differential locked up and the drive shaft yoke broke causing the drive shaft to drop to the ground.due to the speed, vehicle control was difficult while attempting to stop.once stopped, drive shaft yoke was obviously snapped off and passenger side rear tire had melted rubber from being dragged for a few hundred feet when differential locked up.vehicle was taken to deal and after 2 weeks determination was made that something seized in the differential and caused internals to be destroyed.dealer has not mentioned current recalls or investigations.as of now, i have been told that dodge is not making the parts needed and that a minimum of 1 month lead time is expected before parts become available.i am told no loaner vehicle or rental car will be provided.
