I took my vehicle in for the recall on Sept 22,2025 and on Friday my rear end went out on my way home from work. On my recall receipt it's states they replaced the pinion nut, but after dropping my driveshaft I noticed the pinion nut was never replaced. I have spoke to the service manager 1 time and now he won't return my phone calls .

Rear differential locked up while driving at approximately 30 mph, causing the vehicle to come to a stop and unable to move. Luckily the failure happened on a road with little traffic so no accident occurred and other drivers were not put at risk. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to failure. Inspection revealed broken gears and pins in the rear differential. There was a recall (P77) for this model year truck for what appears to be the same problem. The recall repair work was performed in 2019 and the truck has been driven approximately 20,000 miles since the repair. The FCA recall line told me to have the truck towed to a dealer to get a diagnosis and repair estimate, but after the tow was complete the recall line said since more than 2 years had passed since the recall repair work, the repair warranty...

Vehicle brought in for recall repairs on March 18, 2024. Recalls R25 and N43 were completed. Recall P77 failed inspection. Dealer parts not available. Was asked by service advisor if ok to use aftermarket parts. I agreed. Service advisor needed approval from district rep before continuing. I was then told by service advisor that vehicle was safe to drive as long as I drove it easy. His comment, “Its lasted this long, you will be ok. Just dont pull any trailers.” Was asked to wait a week for district rep to return from vacation. I took the truck home and did not drive it after reading the P77 recall info. The truck is not safe to drive with a loose rear axle pinion nut. I returned the truck on 4/8/2024 for repairs to be completed. The dealer will not communicate with me unless I initiate communication. There is no information...

I visited my local Dodge dealership for airbag recalls for my 2005 Dodge Ram in December 2022. In October 2023 I noticed a leak in the rear differential. When looking into the recalls for my Vin the differential pin was mentioned on there but never to me as I thought it was just the airbags. The part has been fixed by a mechanic shop (I paid for) but, did dodge complete the inspection or just checked complete to include airbags recall (complete)?

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 16V352000 (Air Bag), 15V313000 (Air Bags), and 14V796000 (Power Train) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available.

The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect

Had taken my vehicle in for the recall they said it was fine , after wards two months later my front right break locked up. But now my rear end that was supposed to been fixed from recall vut now it is making loud noise

I was driving on a highway when all of a sudden I heard what I thought to be a blow out (tire) ,as I pulled over on shoulder with difficulty I looked in mirror and saw a part has fallen off, later retrieved with tow truck driver, part being a driveshaft. Rear end had seized as I maneuvered my veh. As far on shoulder as possible, I feel fortunate for outcome of incident. I had gotten a tow to my resident now not sure what my next step is to do, any advise would be helpful. Thank you

Rear differential failure. Right rear drive shaft gets loose and makes continual noise.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HAD HIT ME FROM THE BACK. WHEN I GOT OFF TO LOOK I SAW THAT NO ONE HAD CRASHED INTO ME. A BYSTANDER SAYS THAT MY DRIVE SHAFT IS ON THE FLOOR. HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE HOME. WENT TO A DODGE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. HE SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 5 YEARS AGO. THE PROBLEM WAS PREVIOUSLY FIXED. THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I LOOKED UP SOME INFORMATION AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN TO OTHER DRIVERS. ALL OWNERS STATED THAT ISSUES WERE NEVER RESOLVED. MY DAD OWNS A 1999 DODGE 1500 AND THE DRIVE SHAFT HAS NEVER FALLEN OFF.

WELL DRIVING NORTHBOUND HIGHWAY 54 AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH MY DODGE PICK UP SUDDENLY HAVE THE REAR AND LOCK UP, AT THIS TIME BACK REAR WHEEL STOPPED CAUSING VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STANDSTILL AFTER ABOUT 100 YARDS. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS NOTED THE REAR END AT SMOKE COMING OUT IT SMELLED TO BE OIL LIKE. ALSO AT THIS TIME VEHICLES UNABLE TO BE MOVED SECONDARY TO REAR AND BEING LOCKED UP HOWEVER WHILE IN MUTUAL SHORT MOVEMENTS WERE ALLOWED TO GO FORWARD AND LOAD ONTO A FLATBED AND HOLD OFF TO MY HOME

REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AT 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND ALMOST ROLL OVER, THE DRIVESHAFT SHEARED OFF AT THE REAR AND FLEW OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO SLIDE OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AVOID A COLLISION.

A SENSOR FOR THE TRANSMISSION OR COMPUTER IS FAULTING OUT COUSIN THE TRANSMISSIONS OR GEARS TO SHIFT IN CAUSING IT TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY OR SHIFT DOWN AND IT'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK DECEMBER 2018 FROM A PRIVATE CITIZEN, I RECENTLY RAN A CHECK FOR RECALLS AND IT INFORMED ME THAT NONE OF THE RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY 2005 RAM 1500 HAVE NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED. I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION AS TO HOW I MOVE FORWARD IN GETTING THE RECALLS FIXED.

CYLINDER #4 PUSH ROD IS BENT AND MESSED UP CAM AND VALVES AS A RESULT NEW MOTOR IS NEEDED. THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS NEVER BROUGHT IN. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO WITH NO RECOLLECTION OF THIS AND NOW I'M OUT A TRUCK WITH NO MOTOR DUE TO THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY AND DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVESHAFT DETACHED AND BECAME STUCK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, BUT THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING. THE CONTACT CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A LOOSE PINION NUT CAUSED THE DRIVESHAFT AND THE YOKE TO DETACH. THE TECHNICIAN NOTIFIED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V796000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTIFICATION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DON WEIR'S RENO DODGE RAM FIAT (775-786-1211, LOCATED AT 700 KIETZKE LN, RENO, NV 89502). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WAITED TOO LONG TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED; HOWEVER,...

THE VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL WHEN STOPPING OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT CAN BE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. IT WILL ALSO INTERMITTENTLY FLASH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CHIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASED IN 2008. IT HAPPENS WITH COLD OR WARM ENGINE. IT MAY HAPPEN ONCE A WEEK, ONCE A MONTH, OR SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE DAY. USUALLY MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 65 DEGREES. THERE ARE NO CODES STORED AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED (OTHER THAN THE INTERMITTENT LIGHT & CHIME).. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO TSB'S COVERING MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE HUNDRED OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH OWNERS 4.7 ENGINES IN OTHER DODGE & JEEP PRODUCTS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $1,000 ON THIS PROBLEM AND NOT SOLVED IT. WE RECENTLY MOVED FROM A RURAL AREA TO A LARGE CITY....

DEALER ADVISES THAT CHRYSLER IS DECLINING TO PERFORM P77 RECALL, CITING LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF PARTS. CHRYSLER HAS MADE A VERBAL OFFER TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS LESS THAN MY ASSESSMENT OF THE VEHICLES WORTH. THEY HAVE NOW TOLD ME THAT I MUST COME AND COLLECT MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP (AFTER THEM HAVING THE VEHICLE FROM 12/31) TODAY AND THEY ARE DECLINING TO PERFORM THE RECALL SERVICE.

WITHOUT WARNING UPON LEAVING HIGHWAY OFF RAMP AND TURNING INTO MY WORKPLACE THE DRIVESHAFT FELL OFF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHICH THEN LOCKED UP REAR WHEELS. WHEN IT WAS TOWED TO DEALER THE TOW DRIVER MENTIONED THE PINION NUT WHICH HOLDS THE DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY TO REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS OBVIOUSLY MISSING.

TAKARA RECALL THE 4X4 SHIFT LINKAGE GOING TO TRANSFER CASE FALLS OUT OF THE SHIFT LEVERS DUE TO THE USE OF PLASTIC GROMMETS TO SECURE AND HOLD MEDAL ROD IN PLACE. THE PLASTIC GROMMETS GET DRY ROTTED FROM THE HEAT OF THE ENGINE CAUSING THE GROMMETS TO CRACK AND BREAK THEREFORE LOSEING THE MEDAL SHIFT LINKAGE WHILE DRIVING . THE MEDAL SHIFT LINKAGE FALLING WHILE DRIVING HITTING OTHER VEHICAL CAUSING DAMAGE TO HURT THE VEHICAL AND POSABLE HURTING THE PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICAL FROM AN ACCIDENT. *DSY

THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY REPAIRED THE RETAINER NUT AND WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING ELSE. THE DEALER EVEN TRIED TO SELL THE CONTACT A NEW TRUCK. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE REAR CASE COVER WAS NEVER EVEN REMOVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER.

TAKATA RECALL & REAR DIFFERENTIAL PINION NUT I HAVE RECEIVED TWO RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE REALITY IS THAT I LIVE ON AN ISLAND (KODIAK, ALASKA) ON WHICH THERE IS NO CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP/RAM DEALERSHIP.
