TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE OCCURRED WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER HUB ASSEMBLY WAS SERVICED PER NHTA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10E040000 (WHEELS), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER IN CLANTON, ALABAMA IN APRIL 2014. I WAS DRIVING TO MY MOM'S, WHO LIVES IN MISSISSIPPI WHEN I CAME UPON A BRIDGE ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE PASSING A 18 WHEELER. WHEN ENTERING THE BRIDGE THERE WAS A SMALL BUMP UP AND WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS OF THE TRUCK HIT THE BUMP THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING (DEATH BOUNCE OR ROLL) UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAD TO CUT OFF THE 18 WHEELER THAT I WAS PASSING AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR IT TO STOP. IT HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE AND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST WRECK EACH TIME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING WHILE IT IS DOING THIS IT JUST BOUNCES YOU ALL OVER THE ROAD. I HAVE TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF ALL DODGE TRUCKS THAT WAS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WISH TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER, PLEASE. WITH ONLY 82K MILES ON THIS TRUCK THE ENTIRE FRT END SHOULD NOT BE BAD!! THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC WAS A DEFECT FROM FACTORY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE ENTIRE FRT SUSPENSION NOT JUST THE TIE ROD, BECAUSE THE TIE ROD IS NOT CORRECTING THE DEATH BOUNCE/ROLL PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCKS. I HAVE A YOUNG SON AND A GRAND BABY WHO HAS TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK WITH MY SELF IN IT. I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN PART RELATED TO THE WHEEL SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 10E040000 (WHEELS) AND 07V038000 (SUSPENSION) AND BELIEVED THAT THE RECALLS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AND SOMETIMES BACKING UP, THE TRUCK CONSTANTLY SQUEAKS. I HAD THE HUBS REPLACED RECENTLY AS THE MECHANIC SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T. I DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO FALL OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK OR LOCK UP. I WAS AT AT LOCAL LOWE'S RECENTLY AND A WOMAN WAS BACKING HER DODGE TRUCK TO LOAD LUMBER AND IT WAS MAKING THE SAME NOISES AS MINE. *TR
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS/HUB. 4X4... SEVERE GRINDING/ VIBRATION IN TURNS. BEARINGS WERE DRY AND WORN BADLY . THIS CAUSED UNCONTROLLABLE WHEEL MOVEMENT DURING BREAKING. LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL IN THE RAIN WHEN BRAKING.. LUCKILY NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE IN INCIDENT. *TR
5 MONTHS AGO MY VEHICLE STARTED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AS I WOULD DRIVE AND THEN MY TRUCK WOULD SHAKE AS SLOWING....I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FUEL SERVICE AND WAS NOTIFIED OF SEVERAL RECALLS INCLUDING A HUB ASSEMBLY THAT I HAD REPLACED THE YEAR BEFORE. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CALLED WITHIN 2 WEEKS TO SCHEDULE A APPT TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO CALL, THE PERSON I HAD TALKED TO WAS LET GO OR FIRED...SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN GOING TO SCHOOL AND WORKING FULLTIME. 2 WEEKS AGO MY TRUCK STARTED WITH A NOISE SOUNDING LIKE A SQUEAL/SQUEAK...AND I WAS TOLD IT JUST NEEDED PENETRATING OIL BUT THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE.... *TR
IN 2008, I PURCHASED THE ABOVE DESCRIBED 2006 VEHICLE BRAND NEW THROUGH THE DODGE DEALER WITH 400 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AT 49,085 MILES, 09/18/2012, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE LF WHEEL HUB BEARINGS AT MY PERSONAL EXPENSE. THIS MECHANICAL WORK WAS COMPLETED THROUGH THE DODGE DEALER. THE DODGE DEALER WARRANTY THE WORK FOR 1 YEAR. 1.5 YEARS LATER, I'VE ENCOUNTERED THE EXACT SAME MECHANICAL FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE IS IN THE DODGE DEALER SERVICE SHOP AGAIN, AS OF TODAY'S DATE OF 06/27/2014, NOW FOR THE THIRD (3RD) SET OF WHEEL HUB BEARINGS. DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THIS TYPE OF MECHANICAL FAILURE, I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET DISCOVERING A RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE RAM WHEEL HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY. DODGE DEALER STATES THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF DESCRIBED RECALL AND WILL NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER RECALL PROVISIONS. CONFUSED, I PHONED CHRYSLER AT 1.800.247.9753. A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE STATED, ACCORDING TO MY VIN, MY 2006 VEHICLE BUILD DATE IS OCTOBER OF 2005 AND THE RECALL IS FOR VEHICLES BUILT NOVEMBER 2005 AND UP. CLEARLY THERE IS A MATTER OF BUILD DATE SEMANTICS OF OCTOBER 2005 -VS- NOVEMBER 2005, BUT, THE FACTS CLEARLY SHOW I HAVE INFERIOR, UNSATIFACTORY WHEEL-HUB BEARING PARTS INSTALLED ON MY 2006 VEHICLE. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THE HORRIBLE SCENARIO OF COMPLETE MECHANICAL FAILURE HAPPENING WITHOUT WARNING (POSSIBLE WHEEL SEPARATION) WHILE MY FAMILY IS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH OCCURRING. SIMPLY PUT.....DODGE MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS, PLEASE DO THE MORALLY RIGHT THING AND PLACE SUPERIOR PARTS ON YOUR VEHICLES AND HONOR YOUR WORK, PARTS AND RECALLS & QUIT USING SEMANTICS AND SPLITTING HAIRS IN RECALL LANGUAGE. LIVES ARE DEPENDING ON YOU!!!!!! THIS IS ALL I RESPECTFULLY ASK OF YOU. THANK YOU. *TR
VIBRATION AND NOISE WHILE MOVING-- ABS LIGHT ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB AND BEARINGS WERE BAD. I WAS THEN MADE AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS YEARS TRUCK'S FRONT WHEEL HUB AND BEARING UNITS . I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED ONE MONTH FROM THE REPORTED RECALLED VEHICLES AND MANUFACTURED AT ONE OF THE PLANTS IN QUESTION IN MISSOURI. PLEASE HAVE THE DATES CHECKED ON THE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
THERE IS A (TSB 02-001-07 REV. A) THAT CALLS OUT A SHUDDER, BRAKING, SHIMMER... BLAH BLAH BLAH... ON LEVEL GROUND AND CERTAIN SPEEDS. MY ISSUE IS NOT ON LEVEL GROUND, MY PROBLEM EXIST ON DECLINE OF 7% WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED VERY SLIGHTLY THE FRONT BRAKES OR FRONT SUSPENSION SHUDDERS, AND SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS OUT OF CONTROL, IF YOU GRAB TO TIGHT ON THE STEERING WHEEL YOU MAY OVER CORRECT YOUR STEERING AND EVENTUALLY COULD CAUSE YOU TO OVERTURN YOUR VEHICLE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS, I HAVE HAD MY ROTORS CHANGED, BRAKES CHANGED, TIRES BALANCED, AND ROTATED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I AM TELLING YOU THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANYONE TO BE IN. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE THE OWNER OF THE DODGE CO. AND HIS FAMILY FOR A RIDE. I WILL ALMOST GUARANTEE THAT SOMETHING WOULD GET DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ROTORS SHOULD LAST FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS, BUT THE TRUCK IS VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL AND TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO ALLOW MY WIFE OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED OR I SELL IT. ONCE I SELL IT I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT AGAIN, I AM TIRED OF WASTING MY TIME AND MONEY ON THIS ISSUE. I AM TIRED OF THE DEALERSHIPS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND OH IT;S YOUR ROTOR ARE QUOTE "WARPED" UN-QUOTE IS HOW IT IS DOCUMENTED ON MY PAPERWORK.. *TR

THEY STATED THAT BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE BAD. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR MODEL FOR THAT VERY REASON, HE STATED THAT HE NEVER HEARD OF IT, I INFORMED HIM OF THE REASON FOR THE RECALL, AND HIS ANSWER WAS THAT MY TRUCK WAS 6 YEARS OLD AND THOSE THINGS WEAR OUT. I SAID ARE YOU CRAZY THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 38000 MILES ON IT, HIS ANSWER WAS IT WAS A GOOD THING I PURCHASED A EXTENED SEVICE CONTRACT. IT COST ME $107.00 DEDUCTABLE.I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY TRUCK.THIS WAS MY FIRST CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND IF THIS IS HOW THEY STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT, WHEN THEY WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AT THE FACTORY IT WILL BE MY LAST. MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THAT RECALL, JUST LIKE MANY OTHERS THAT WERE NOT.I WILL BE TRADING IT IN FOR A FORD NEXT YEAR. NOW I KNOW WHY THE GOVT. HAD TO BAIL CHRYSLER OUT SO MANY TIMES. *TR

A RECALL IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER HERE FOR THE CABIN AIR BLEND DOOR BREAKING, 2006 THROUGH 2002 MODELS HAVE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED AND IN 2006 HAD THE MOST FILED YET IN 2007 ZERO COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THIS PROBLEM , LET ME EXPLAIN WHY. I CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER FILED A COMPLAINT AND GOT NOWHERE, THEY JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR BAD DESIGN, OR STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!! I WILL NEVER BUY A PRODUCT FROM THEM AGAIN. THE AIR BOX HAS AN OPENING WITH ONE TAB PROTRUDING OUT SO WHEN THE BLEND DOOR CLOSES IT STOPS AT THE TAB, WELL THE TAB ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO RECEIVE THE IMPACT OF THE DOOR SLAMMING IT AND BREAKS OFF THUS JAMMING CLOSED OR FALLING OFF, THE ENGINEERS AT DELMAR CHRYSLER FIGURED THIS OUT AND ENGENDERED A NEW BOX WITH TWO TABS SO IT WONT BREAK YET THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALERS KEEP REPLACING THE DOORS AND NOT THE ENTIRE BOX (BECAUSE IT'S A BIGGER MORE EXPENSIVE JOB) AND THAT'S WHY SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT FIXED SEVERAL TIMES, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FIXING IT CORRECTLY SO IN TURN YOU THEN ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOW IT COST THE CONSUMER TO FIX THIS EXPENSIVE POORLY ENGINEERED BOX THAT THEY KNOW IS A DESIGN FLAW.SAD, VERY SAD. DAIMLER CHRYSLER PUT THIS NEWLY DESIGNED BOX IN THEIR 2007 AND NEWER MODELS AND HAVE NOT ONE COMPLAINT, SO WHY WONT THEY RECALL THESE BAD DESIGN BOXES AND BROKEN BLEND DOORS (WHICH ARE THE NUMBER ONE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 TRUCKS) AND PUT THEIR NEWLY ENGINEERED BOXES-BLEND DOORS IN THE TRUCKS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT THE CONSUMER, DELMER CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A BAD DESIGN AND STILL WONT OWN UP TO IT, WE THE CONSUMER NEED TO FLOOD THEIR PHONES UNTIL THEY FIX THIS POORLY ENGINEERED VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM THAT THEY CREATED UNTIL THEY RECALL IT. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT CONTROL WHERE THE AIR FLOW IS GOING LIKE THE WINDSHIELD FOR VISIBILITY IN FOGGY OR SNOWY CONDITIONS,FORCED TO PUL OVER CANT SEE, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR TAKING THE TIME AND EFFORT PUTTING PRESSURE ON THEM TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE.

PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE A MAJOR COLLISION WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR THANK YOU, STEVE MOORE
ON 2-12-2007 NHTSA ISSUE A RECALL ON 2006 DODGE 1500,FOR THE FRONT HUB SUSPENSION:WHEEL BEARING.I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK. SO I WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL. IN JULY OF 2009 I WAS RETURNING FROM VACATION AND I WAS IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY TRUCK SO I FOUND A MECHANIC SHOP, THEY TOLD THAT THE FRONT HUBS WERE MESSED UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, IT WAS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND THE MECHANIC WAS ONLY ABLE TO FIND ONE HUB SO HE REPLACED THE WORST ONE OF THE TWO AND TOLD ME THAT THE OTHER ONE WOULD GET ME HOME. ONCE I GOT HOME I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE OTHER SIDE AND ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THE REAREND WAS OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THEY REPAIRED THAT. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER I FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT HUB SO I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT ONE OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY TRUCK WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL WHEN THE SAME THING WENT WRONG WITH MY TRUCK THE IS LISTED ON THE RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO WITH THIS SO PLEASE ADVISE ME WITH WHAT DIRECTION TO TAKE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH DODGE. I WANT TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANT. *TR
FRONT LIGHT MODULE FAILED AT 37,122 MILES, FRONT LIGHTS FAILED WITH NO ADVANCE NOTICE. PART WAS ORDER BY THE DODGE DEALER, THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT IN STOCK, 1 AND 1/2 MONTH WAITING FOR PART AND WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM THAT HAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT WHEELS DUE TO IMPROPER GREASE ON THE BEARINGS. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/CARS/PROBLEMS/RECALLS/RESULTS.CFM WHEN CONTACTING DODGE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE RECALL BECAUSE MY TRUCK HAS A REBUILT TITLE ON IT. BECAUSE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE, I FEEL THAT IT IS STILL THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PERFORM THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE WARRANTY IS VOID WITH A REBUILT TITLE, BUT A RECALL HAS NO EFFECT ON THE WARRANTY. IF THE VEHICLE HAS 200,000 MILES ON IT, THEY STILL HAVE TO FIX THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLES IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, MY WHEEL IS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE, AND WHEN I JACK IT UP, THE WHEEL WILL ROCK BACK AND FORTH. *TR
