2012 DODGE RAM 1500 Power Train Problems

THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING ON THE 5.7 ENGINES. I'VE HAD TO HAVE BOTH MANIFOLDS REPAIRED IN UNDER A YEAR. THIS PROBLEM ALLOWS EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE CABIN EXPOSING THE OCCUPANTS TO CARBON MONOXIDE.

VEHICLE WARRANTY FROM DODGE NOT HONORED DUE TO COMING FROM CANADA . YET AS I HAVE JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A RAM TRUCK FROM ROY ROBINSON CHEVROLET IN MARYSVILLE WA TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASED VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS PRESSED UNLESS PUMPED DODGE WOULD NOT COVER WARRENTY ON VEHICLE AND ROY ROBINSON PAID TO REPAIR MASTER CYLINDER. ITS BEEN 1 MOTH AND HALF AND FROM TIME TO TIME I STILL GET THE SENSATION OF NOT STOPPING UNLESS I PUMP BRAKE . NOW MASTER TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WONT GET OUT OF 5 THE GEAR . SO FOR A UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT NOW HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF BRAKES AND BEING 37500 MILES A NEWER VEHICLE WAS ALLOWED TO BE SOLD AT NEW VEHICLE PRICE. AND STILL DODGE CANNOT TELL ME WHY AFTER GOING THRU CUSTOMS AND DOT AND EPA . WHY THE WARRANTY CANT BE CONTINUED. IM SCARRED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, THE STEERING COLUMN AND WHEELS VIBRATED AND MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE SYMPTOMS WERE RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V038000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

THE RAM1500 WAS BEING STARTED AND PUT IN REVERSE THEN DRIVE AND IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. STARTED GETTING WORSE AND FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD NOTICE THE NOISE WHEN LEAVING THEIR HOMES. THEN ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO (JUNE 2015) WE TOOK IT IN TO DODGE AND THEY HEARD THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY HAD CONTACTED THE ENGINEERS AND JUST KEEP AN EYE ON IT. NO FIXING OF ANY KIND. NOW EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, AS IT SHIFTS GEARS IT CLONKS INTO GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS SHIFT PROPERLY. IT STAYS IN A GEAR LONGER THAN IT SHOULD. YOU CAN HEAR THE GEARS NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING. THE BRAKES ON THE TRUCK DONT SEEM TO STOP FAST ENOUGH. TAKING TRUCK IN FOR THAT NEXT WEEK.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING AND THEN THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. BEFORE I COULD PULL INTO A GAS STATION THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ME. I TURNED THE KEY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURNOVER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT AND THEN TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING. HE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THAT'S WHEN I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT TOOK THEM 2-3 DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WHAT THEY FOUND WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS IS HOW THEY STATED IT ON THE INVOICE: 29303 NO START P0688 ASD CIRCUIT FAULT, FOUND FUSE M19 BLOWN- REPLACED AND ATTEMPTED TO START- FUSE BLEW AGAIN. TRACED ASD CIRCUIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE TIE ROD WAS WORN PREMATURELY, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRES TO BE WORN. IN ADDITION, THREE SECURITY LOCKS AND THE STUDS AND BOLTS FRACTURED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE SUSPENSION ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TIRES WAS UNSTABLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE WHEELS WERE LOCKING IN THE REAR, WHICH INDICATED A DRIVE TRAIN FAILURE BECAUSE THE BOLTS ALSO FRACTURED IN THE REAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED WITH CONFLICTING INFORMATION FROM THE DEALERS AND WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE HOW THE MANUFACTURER WAS GOING TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 13V038000 (POWER TRAIN), 12V474000 (POWER TRAIN), 13V528000 (STEERING), 11V350000 (STE/ERING) AND 10E040000 (WHEELS)....

I HAD PUT MY 2012 RAM 1500 INTO PARK AND WALKED UP THE SIDEWALK, HAPPENED TO LOOK OUT AND IT WAS MOVING AND I RAN TO GET INTO IT TRYING TO STOP IT FROM HITTING OR CRASHING INTO SOMETHING. I DIDN'T GET TO IT IN TIME AND I GOT PINNED BETWEEN THE VEHICLE AND THE HOUSE CAUSING ME TO BREAK MY TAILBONE AND PELVIS IN TWO PLACES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND HAD SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THIS IS LIKE THE 4TH ONE HE HAS FIXED DO TO IT POPPING OUT OF GEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY DURING THE FAILURE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH UNTIL AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER MOVED OUT OF GEAR WHEN SLIGHTLY TOUCHED WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK TRAVELING DOWNTOWN IN A BUSY AND TRAFFICKY BUSINESS DISTRICT IN WHICH ACCELERATION IS VITAL, UPON ATTEMPTING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AT GENERAL TRAFFIC SPEED THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND I NEARLY GET RAMMED FROM BEHIND. FORTUNATELY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME NOTICED IT IN TIME & THOUGH MY VEHICLE DID NOT COMPLETELY STOP, IT STALLED ENOUGH TO HAVE CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD NOTICED THE STALLING BEFORE, BUT NOT SO SIGNIFICANT. I HAVE TALKED WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT MY DEALERSHIP & THEY HAVE SCHEDULED ME IN FOR A SERVICE VISIT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. HAVING MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE, I'M APT TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING IS GOING AWRY IN THE POWER TRAIN. I JUST ACQUIRED THE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS LESS THAN 82000 MILES. HOPEFULLY MY DEALERSHIP WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE ACCORDINGLY & FAIRLY, GUESS I'LL KNOW SOON ENOUGH. *TR

WHEN ON A40 TO45 PERCENT GRADE MY TRUCK TRANSMISSION WON'T ENGAGE UNLESS I REV TO 2000 TO 2500 RPM AND WHEN IT DOES IT BANGS INTO GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PUT MY BOAT IN OR TAKE IT OUT OF THE WATER. *TR

THE WEEK OF MARCH 9TH OF THIS YEAR, WE TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER: FRONTIER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP 5801 SPUR 327 LUBBOCK, TX 79424 THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD US THAT THEY WILL ONLY FIX THE ALIGNMENT AFTER THEY RECEIVE THE RECALL PART# N49. DUE TO THEM HAVING TO REALIGN IT AGAIN AFTER THEY REPAIR N49. THE STEERING WHEEL'S POSITION IS OFF. THE LOGO IS TILTED TO THE RIGHT. WITH THAT SAID, ITS NOW DECEMBER AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CALLS FROM THE DEALER. THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED US WITH ANY UPDATES. WE CALLED IN JUNE AND THE SERVICE DESK AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE OUR PART YET. THAT WAS SAID EVEN BEFORE WE GAVE THEM OUR NAME. HOW DID THEY KNOW WHO THEY WERE TALKING TO? AFTER WE IDENTIFIED THE TRUCK, THEY SAID THAT...

DRIVING AT OR NEAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY SURGE FORWARD AS IF SOMEONE BUMPED THE REAR BUMPER..HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN AUTOMATIC DRIVE, NOT MANUAL. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED INTO 4TH GEAR. I STOPPED, PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WAITED TWO MINUTES AND TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON. PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE AND IT STAYED IN 4TH GEAR AND WOULD NOT COME OUT. ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL AFTER VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO TRY A RESET AND THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. COMPUTER READING STATED SHIFT SOLENOID MALFUNCTION. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THREE KIDS IN THE TRUCK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH THE TRUCK FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT FOR AN INCLINE ON THE HIGHWAY LOOSING MOMENTUM. I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AT THIS POINT I SIGNALED TO MOVE ONTO THE SHOULDER WHILE THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO LOSE MOMENTUM. WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MOVE AS IF I HAD LOST MY POWER STEERING TOO. THE BRAKES WORKED AND I STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE: NOTHING HAPPENED. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF, WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND RESTARTED. THE TRANSMISSION AND STEERING NOW WORKED. AT NO TIME DID ANY WARNING LIGHT APPEAR ON THE DASH. I COULD HAVE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT PILE UP ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. SINCE NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH--HOW DO I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED--OR MORE LIKELY, HOW WILL...

WHEN DRIVING IN THE SNOW AND SLUSH ROADS, WHEN THE TRUCK TURNS TO THE LEFT, THE FRONT WHEEL KICKS UP SNOW AND SLUSH TOWARDS THE TRANSMISSION. THIS RESULTS IN SNOW PACKING AROUND THE SHIFT LINKAGE. THE RESULT IS THE INABILITY TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. IT HAPPENED TO ME 3 DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THE SNOW STORM THAT NIGHT. I HAD TO CRAWL UNDER THE TRUCK TO CHIP AWAY AT THE BUILD-UP OF SNOW AND ICE. THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE A BIT OF A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO DODGE IN REFERENCE TO THIS AND THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT IT. I HAVE HEARD OF IT HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. ANY INPUT ON THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 59 IN HOUSTON FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, I NOTICED A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM BELOW THE VEHICLE. I WAS EXITING 59 ONTO SAM HOUSTON TOLL ROAD, WHEN THE HUMMING STARTED AND THEN I HEARD A LOUD CRASH.
