2010 RAM 1500 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

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. *TR

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. *TR

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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO START THE IGNITION AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS RESET THE COMPUTER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CAM AND CRANK SENSORS WHERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED A THIRD TIME AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS REPLACED THE VAPOR CANISTER AND THE LINER VALVE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED A FOURTH TIME AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS WHERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE STALLED A FIFTH TIME AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY FLUSHED THE FUEL OUT AND REPLACED THE COMPUTER MODULE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF THE DEALER WHO STATED HE WOULD...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO REPLACED THE PCM AND TIFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN AND THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY RESTARTED AND ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE COMPUTER AND IGNITION PARTS, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE ROCKER ARM BROKE IN THE HEMI ENGINE. HE STATED THAT THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A NOISE AND HE DROVE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROCKER ARM AND A PUSH ROD WHICH WERE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 670 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 1,312.

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...
