There is a class action law suit for newer rams mine has always done same thing since i have owned it occasionaly during slow speed turns it will shut off it will restart imediatly i have owned vehicle 4 years bought with 127000 miles now have 205000 miles on it

This will be the 4th time since late 2020 that this vehicle will stall either at a stop or at low speed. EGR valve has been replaced 3 times. You lose power steering and harder to brake but for the grace of God my wife has not had an accident. If you search online there are hundreds of similar complaints.

Pinion separated from front drivers' side of truck while driving, almost causing accident.

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

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 about 45-50 mph and pushed on my breaks. When i pushed on my breaks, i had no power steering and was unable to accelerate. No warning lights. I pulled over and restarted the vehicle and it was fine. Was just purchased used and driving home from dealer.

When wet or in heavy rain, the battery will shut off and the truck will lose power steering. The truck speedometer will still work and the engine will run, but the battery voltage gauge drops to 0 and the radio and power steering turn off, dangerously, leaving you to have to steer without power steering for the truck.

Pulled in driveway and without warning the rear gas tank strap broke due to corrosion, which left my gas tank hanging about 2 inches off the ground. Thankfully this did not happen when I was on the highway. The tank drop could have made contact with the road surface which could abrade the tank, create a hole from which gasoline can spill and cause a fire hazard, accidents with other vehicles, bodily injury and possibly death. We replaced the straps but felt it was important to make this report due to us finding recalls on gas straps for other Dodge Ram trucks. I feel there should be a mandatory check and replace notice on these gas straps.

To the truck to the dealership to get the airbag and rear end recall when it was finished I went to pick it up and the service manager told me that the rear tires have come apart on the sidewalls on the inside and have big knots on them brought it home and took them off and took them back to get them warranted and the tire shop told me it was 2 days past the warranty mark still have not gotten them replaced yet

I RECENTLY HAD A INVESTIGATOR INSPECT MY VEHICLE THAT BROKE THE RIGHT REAR AXLE. CHRYSLER GOT BACK TO ME AND CLAIMED THE BREAK WAS NOT FROM THERE RECALL. CHRYSLER AVOIDED MY WHOLE COMPLAINT OF DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. I WAS NOT RELYING ON RECALLS BUT THE MATERIAL IS NOT RIGHT. I HAD A COUPLE OF PROFESSIONAL WELDERS LOOK AT THE AXLE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BREAK WAS ON A WELD, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE STRONGEST POINT AND THAT THE MATERIAL LOOKS POROUS. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A CLAIM ON THIS MATTER, WHICH TOTALED MY TRUCK DUE TO THE AXLE BREAKING. SEE ALSO 11031993

Significantly rusted out truck bed framing. I purchased the truck from a private seller a couple of years ago, and the bed had a rubber mat and plastic side panels in the bed. I was unaware of what was underneath at that time. On 06/28/2023, I removed the rubber mat, and side plastic panels to reveal major rusting with the truck bed. The bed is at major risk of separating from the frame. If this issue is not resolved, the truck bed will experience separation from the truck frame; causing the bed to separate at highway speeds, causing property damage, injuries, or even death. Upon searching for a good used bed from salvage yards, none exist that are in good condition in a 500 mile search radius and/or they are $800.00 to multiple thousands in cost to obtain. Multiple beds on the search have major rusting/wasting of the bed frame as well. This should constitute a major safety defect with poor rust proofing.

I want to make a complaint because the engine in my 2005 dodge ram 1500 Magnum stalling very often, engine stalling on the traffic freeway couple of times that I have to restart the vehicle quick, good thing cars going slow. The most scary time was when I was making a right turn on this busy avenue and the engine stalled and almost got hit by other's cars the engine stalling very often that already know when it dies I put it on P and restart it as quick as I can before I get hit by other car. The next issue. It makes a grinding sound underneath when taking off at very low speed. I not sure if it is the differential or a wheel but it something there I took it to the mechanic he fix something that was woren it connects to the differential but still makes the noyse. Too many problems with this truck.
