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...

MY RAM IS INVOLVED IN THE BUYBACK THROUGH CHRYSLER. I WAS SUPPOSE TO RECEIVE A LETTER WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE BUYBACK DECISION. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ONE.. I'VE CALLED OR CHATTED WITH CHRYSLER 3 TIMES AND STILL NOTHING. THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP. I NEED SOME GUIDENCE.

SEPT 2013 WHILE 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, 2015 AT 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.

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.

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 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.

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...

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.

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.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, TRUCK PUT ITSELF INTO 4TH GEAR. PULLED OVER TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND RE-START. TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT IN TO "DRIVE". ISSUE PERSISTED UNTIL FOLLOWING DAY. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND IT MUST BE TAKEN TO A SERVICE CENTER.

REAR DRIVE SHAFT CAME OUT CAUSING REAR AXLES TO LOCK PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO A SLIDE CROSSING ON COMING TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BECAME STUCK IN FOURTH GEAR WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ON AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,812.

I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE RAP GETTING ON US1 IN RALEIGH NC A CAR GOT IN FRONT OF ME TO CLOSE. I WAS GOING 55 DUE TO TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO GET SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN MY TRUCK AND THAT CAR. I HEAR A LOUD ROAR AND VIBRATION NEXT THING I KNOW IM SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. I HIT THE GUARDRAIL WITH THE RIGHT, FRONT BUMPER/FENDER...... SPINNING ME AROUND HITTING THE LEFT REAR BUMPER WHICH BOUNCED ME BACK OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC GETTING HIT HEAD ON. *TR

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...

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

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 .

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...

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. *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
