2012 DODGE RAM 3500 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

This truck has had to have several high temp burnoffs because of failures in the EGR and Carbon build up. The recent recall for Rams does not cover the 2012, and began at 2013, however, we are experiencing the same exact issues with the same type of system. In addition, we have had repeated airbag issues due to the positioning of the cockspring and wiring getting choked out.

TRUCK SHUTS OFF AT RANDOM AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND AFTER COASTING WILL START ITSELF UP AGAIN. THROWS EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH ON INCLUDING TRAILER BRAKE MALFUNCTION BUT THROWS NO ECM CODES. I'M PRETTY SURE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE KEY FOB/STARTER RELAY RECOGNIZING THE KEY.

RECALLS: P65 DIESEL FUEL HEATER, POTENTIAL FUEL LEAK AND FIRE. RAM DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX, REFUSES LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL PARTS ARE AVALIABLE.

EMMISSION CONTROL PROBLEMS RELATED TO O2 SENSORS AND WIRING, PAID $387 TO HAVE REPAIRS MADE, NOT REPAIRED AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY ACCORDING TO RAM.

IN DECEMBER, I RECEIVED THE P65 FUEL HEATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR RECALL WHICH WARNS OF A FUEL LEAK AND RISK OF FIRE. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS AND AVOID THE FIRE RISK. IF CHRYSLER CAN COME UP WITH THE PARTS TO SUPPLY THEIR PRODUCTION LINES, WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER COME UP WITH THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL? BASED ON THIS RECALL AND OTHER CHRYSLER RECALLS, THE DELAYS PROCURING RECALL PARTS WHILE SUPPLYING PRODUCTION LINE PARTS APPEARS TO BE A DELIBERATE STRATEGY BY CHRYSLER TO DELAY OR AVOID THE EXPENSE OF IMPLEMENTING RECALLS. *TR

MY DRIVER WAS TRAVELING AT 80 MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL WHEN HE STARTED TO NOTICE A VIBRATION FROM THE TRUCK THAT WAS SHAKING THE MIRRORS. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL AND STARTED TO DECELERATE. AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH A LARGE BANG WAS HEARD FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WAS LIFTED OFF OF THE PAVEMENT. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE TURNED SLIGHTLY SIDEWAYS WHEN IT CAME BACK DOWN INTO CONTACT WITH THE PAVEMENT WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH! THANKFULLY MY DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT BUT WHEN HE PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HE WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY BRING IT TO A STOP. PARTS FROM THE TRUCK HAD BEEN STREWN DOWN THE INTERSTATE OVER APPROXIMATELY 200 YDS. THERE WAS A...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE RAM 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAULING A TRAILER AT 60 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,894 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 177,000.

I PULL A LIGHT WEIGHT 40' GOOSENECK TRAILER, AND WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE FUEL MILEAGE DROPPED TREMENDOUSLY AND THE COOLANT TEMP STAYED AROUND 220DEG AND I NOTICED A HORRIBLE LOSS OF POWER WHICH WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE ANY FASTER THAN AROUND 40-45MPH! I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PERFORMED A BOOST TEST ON THE TURBO AND SAID THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE 32 POUNDS OF BOOST BUT MINE WAS ONLY PRODUCING 26 POUNDS OF BOOST, AND THEN I WAS INFORMED THEY COULD NOT JUSTIFY REPLACING THE TURBO BECAUSE IT HAS NOT THROWN A CODE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WELL IF YOU TELL ME IT'S SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE ONE NUMBER AND IT'S DOING ANOTHER THEN I BELIEVE THAT'S ENOUGH JUSTIFICATION TO REPLACE THE PART BEINGS I PAID $50,000 FOR A BRAND NEW TRUCK! THE LOSS OF POWER CAUSES TRAFFIC BACK-UPS EVEN IF I'M IN THE SLOW LANE!...
