DODGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPERATE OCCASIONS, BUT THERE IS STILL A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE SO THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

2009 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS WHAT IS DESCRIBED BY MANY AS "DEATH WOBBLE". AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (70MPH HERE IN MI) IF SOME EVEN MINOR BUMPS, POT HOLES ARE RUN OVER THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN YOU MUST SLOW TO BELOW 55MPH. MANY TIMES JUST THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE AS BOUNCING OR WOBBLING, RECENTLY THE ENTIRE FRONT END. VEHICLE HAS HAD BOTH PRIOR RECALLS FOR TIE-ROD ENDS COMPLETED. HAD FRONT SHOCKS CHANGED IN CASE THEY WERE THE ISSUE NO CHANGE, HAD TIRES CHANGED IN CASE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH ANY OF THE TIRES, NO CHANGE. HAD BELLE TIRE TECHS LOOK FOR ISSUE WITH BOUNCING/WOBBLING TIRES THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT AND IN WORKING ORDER. ALSO HAS ANOTHER GARAGE LOOK AT IT FOR THE SAME ISSUE THEY DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM THAT LOOKS TO BE PRETTY WIDESPREAD WITH OWNERS OF 2009 RAM 2500S MAKES THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNTIL A FIX IS FOUND. I WILL ASK DEALER ABOUT BOUNCING/WOBBLING FRONT END AGAIN BUT IF THIS IS ON MANY OF THESE TRUCKS THE PROBLEM WILL END UP RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS SHOULD A DRIVER NOT BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR ON AND OFF, I HAD AVOIDED DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY UNTIL THE LAST REPAIRS WHERE THE TIRES WERE CHANGED AND THE TECHS SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD WITH THE FRONT END. FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN A FEW SMALL BUMPS WERE RUN OVER, THE ENTIRE CAB OF THE TRUCK WAS SHAKING, OTHER DRIVERS BEHIND AND AROUND ME SLOWED AS I AM GUESSING THEY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL AND CRASH. I HAD TO SLOW BELOW 50MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING WAS UNDER CONTROL AND BECAUSE THE OTHER DRIVERS SLOWED IT ALLOWED ME TO GET TO THE RIGHT AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SO I WILL NO LONGER USE THE TRUCK AT ANYTHING OVER 45MPH AND ONLY USE SPARINGLY UNTIL THE ISSUE IS IDENTIFIED AND REPAIRED.

MY 2009 DODGE RAM 2500 STARTED HOPPING AFTER I HIT A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD. I WAS GOING ABOUT 50MPH WHEN THUS HAPPENED. I COULD DO NOTHING BUT TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. IT LITERALLY HOPPED DOWN THE ROAD , IT FELT LIKE WE WERE IN A PAINT MIXER BOUNCING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BUT WAS NEVER AS BAD AS THIS TIME. MY WIFE WAS WITH ME THIS TIME AND COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT IT WAS DOING. SHE TOLD ME IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE WOULD HAVE PANICKED AND MOST LIKELY WRECKED THE TRUCK. EVERYTHING IN THE TRUCK WAS BEING TOSSED AROUND. THIS ISSUE MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE.

INITAL PROBLEM, FUSE BOX FIRE - 2020 REPEATED PROBLEM AGAIN IN 2020, 2021, 2023

WE NOTICED FOR THE PAST MONTH THAT OUR TIRES WERE WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE OF BOTH FRONT TIRES. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO 3 DIFFERENT LES SCHWAB TIRE BUSINESSES (WEISER, IDAHO, EMMETT, IDAHO AND ONTARIO, OREGON) AND ALL 3 BUSINESSES TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. DRIVING AT 25 MPH LAST MONTH, (JULY 8, 2015), WE ENCOUNTERED A STEERING PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WAS WANTING TO TURN AT IT'S LEISURE WHILE POINTING IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION. THE STEERING WAS SLOPPY, WOULD NOT SELF CENTER, WOULD DRIFT TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND NOT CORRECT. APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER THIS HAPPENED, WE HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE PASSENGER FRONT. WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE TIRE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS COMPLETELY WORN AND "ROUGH" LOOKING. THERE WAS NO WAY TO CHANGE THE TIRE AS THE WHEEL ITSELF WAS "BOWED" IN. WE HAD IT TOWED TO STEVE'S HOMETOWN MOTORS IN WEISER, IDAHO AND THEY COULDN'T TELL US WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THAT THE WHOLE FRONT END PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, I.E., $2871.98 IN PARTS AND LABOR. THEY COULD NOT TELL US WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY WE NEEDED THESE PARTS. THEY FOUND THAT THE ADJUSTER BAR WAS LOOSE AND ALL THE FRONT END NEEDED ALL NEW PARTS. WE DID TAKE IT IN FOR ALL THE "RECALLS" ON THE FRONT END AND NOW FIAT/CHRYSLER IS OFFERING TO "BUY BACK" THESE VEHICLES THAT WEREN'T FIXED. OUR QUESTION IS, CAN WE BE REIMBURSED FOR THESE REPAIR COSTS DUE TO THESE "FAULTY FRONT END STEERING REPAIR RECALLS". WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ONE OF THE CUSTOMERS THAT HAD THE RECALLS DONE, BUT EITHER INCORRECTLY OR WITH FAULTY RECALL PARTS.......UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF UPDATED 12/12/2017*CN

TPMS VALVE STEM FAILED CAUSING A FLAT TIRE. THE TIRE VALVE ITSELF COMPLETELY CAME APART WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, BUT SO WHAT , IT WAS CAUSED BY ITS OWN FLAWED DESIGN. UPON INSPECTION OF THE OTHER TIRE VALVES, IT IS DISCOVERED THAT THEY ARE ALL CRACKED AND READY TO FAIL AS WELL AND NEED EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.. A "SAFETY SYSTEM" THAT IS POORLY CONSTRUCTED, DANGEROUS, AND REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE INSTALLED IN VEHICLES. A RECALL MUST BE MANDATED. *TR

RETAINING NUT ON TPMS SENSOR SPLIT CAUSING TIRE TO LOSE ALL AIR. 1 WEEK LATER ANOTHER TIRE HAD COMPLETE DEFLATION AND TPMS SENSOR HAD FALLEN IN TO WHEEL. INSPECTED ALL SENSORS AND FOUND ALL TPMS RETAINING NUTS HAD SPLIT. THIS CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC AIR LOSS AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TWO ENTIRE SENSORS AND WILL ATTEMPT TO HAVE RETAINING NUTS ON OTHER TWO SENSORS REPLACED. DEALER WILL NOT PERFORM WORK UNDER WARRANTY.

BRAKES FAILED DUE TO A CORRODED BRAKE LINES AT THE MASTER CYLINDER. HAPPENED IN DRIVEWAY BEFORE I GOT TO THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE GOING ON VACATION PULLING OUR 28' TRAVEL TRAILER WITH OUR 2009 DODGE 2500. THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP ON THE FREEWAY, ALMOST CAUSING US TO ALMOST GO INTO THE DITCH. WE SAFELY PULLED ON TO A SIDE ROAD, AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE SMOKING AND VERY HOT. AFTER BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RUBBER BRAKE LINES HAD FAILED [COLLAPSING]. IT WAS INSPECTED, AND FOUND THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL, AND THE FRONT BRAKES HAD LOCKED UP ON THE CALIPERS. THE DEALER INFORMED US THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING TO SOME 2009 DODGE 2500 SERVICE BRAKES. THE TRUCK HAS 85,250 MILES ON IT AND IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WITH US THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER DODGE. OUR TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS AND COSTS WILL BE OVER $1000.00 TO REPAIR IT.

DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR LOCK AND INTERIOR LIGHT DOES STOPPED WORKING OVER A YEAR AGO. I FIGURED IT WAS A SELONOID OR A LOOSE CONNECTION IN THE DOOR SO I PUT IT OFF. JUST RECENTLY 10/11/2015 I TOOK THE TIME TO TAKE THE DOOR APART AND CHECK ALL THE CONNECTIONS. I HAD POWER TO THE SPEAKER AND WINDOW AND NOTHING TO THE LOCK AND INTERIOR LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. SO I THEN CHECKED FOR LOOSE CONNECTIONS EVERYTHING GOOD. I THEN CHECKED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE DOOR AND I HAD A GOOD CLEAN CONNECTION. I THEN PULLED BACK THE RUBBER WIRE LOOM BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE DOOR AND I FOUND 4 UNEVENLY CUT WIRES. I DID NOT FIX THEM I LEFT THE CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED. THIS IS COULD BE A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT TO MENTION POTENTIALLY DEADLY FIRE HAZARD. SOME HOW THE LOOM IS CUTTING THE WIRES AND COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY AND OR DEATH.

UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING OR FRONT END WOBBLING. AKA DEATH WOBBLE, ACCORDING TO MY VEHICLE HISTORY THERE ARE RECALLS THAT ARE FOR STEERING AND THE DESCRIPTION OF ALL THOSE RECALLS SAY WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHICH IS A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL RESULTING IN A CRASH. ALL THE RECALLS THAT I KNOW OF HAVE BEEN REPLACED. BUT I STILL HAVE INCIDENTS WHERE I LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING AND IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP, I HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MANY MANY CLOSE CALLS, AND HOPING THAT THIS DOESN'T RESULT IN A LOSS OF A VEHICLE OR EVEN DEATH. IT'S A VERY BIG CONCERN TO ME CONSIDERING THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THE STEERING AND FRONT END. IT WILL OCCUR AS SOON AS I HIT A BUMP JUST RIGHT NOT EVEN AT HIGH SPEED IT HAPPENS AT 35-70 MPH NO MATTER IF IT'S FLAT GROUND OR NOT. THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AND FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE BOUNCING OFF THE GROUND. AT THAT POINT BEING ON THE FREEWAY HAVING NO CONTROL OF MY STEERING THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE IT TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS, IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS
