2010 Dodge Ram 2500 Problems

This is the 3rd time this happened to me. The first time I was driving around 55 and the truck started to shake so bad I could not actually hold onto the steering wheel, and I made it to the side of the road. I thought was a flat tire and I pulled over to find nothing wrong. The second was bad as it shook so violently, I was unable to make it to the side of the road, so I hit the brakes in the middle of traffic to stop. This 3rd time I happen to be traveling 65 mph on the interstate in PA and hit a small bump and all of the sudden the truck felt like it was bouncing off of the road. I hit the brakes to slow down and drove to the side and into a field. I purchased tie rods and actually the entire front suspension. This was the worst shaking I have ever felt in 45 years of driving. This is going to get me killed when this happens on the road. Please help.

THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL FUNCTIONS. THIS OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED A HALEY AUTO GROUP (CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER) FOR A RECALL ITEM (P65/NHTSA 14V-635) AND BULLETIN ITEM (25-002-14). THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER SYSTEM DID NOT SHOW A CODE AS TO CAUSE ON EITHER OCCASION AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE INFORMATION WAS REPORTED TO DODGE FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND A CASE MANAGER ASSIGNED (CASE # 27675333), TO WHICH A RESOLUTION WAS NEVER REACHED. UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER PAYING HEFTY EXPENSES FOR EXPERIMENTAL PARTS THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED AND THE TRUCK WAS SOLD TO THE DEALERSHIP. I ACCEPTED AN OFFER AT A STEEP FINANCIAL LOSS TO MYSELF BECAUSE TO THE DANGEROUS SHUT DOWNS I HAD EXPERIENCED FIRST HAND WHILE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS NOW OFFERED FOR SALE BY THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE UNAWARE POTENTIAL BUYER! ALSO, I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER MOTORISTS IF THIS VEHICLE IS BACK OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DISCLOSED WHEN SELLING THIS VEHICLE AND REPORTED AS A SAFETY CONCERN.

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM TIPS FAILURE ... I DID THE RECOMMENDED 10,000 MILE FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT AND TURNED THE IGNITION KEY "ON-OFF" THREE TIMES WITHOUT STARTING THE VEHICLE AS OUTLINED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I NOW HAVE AT LEAST 10 WARNINGS ON MY VEHICLE: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BRAKES, TRAILER, WILL NOT START, NO AIR CONDITIONING, HEADLIGHTS STAY ON, ONLY DRIVER SIDE OF BRAKES WORK, DIESEL REGENERATION REQUIRED POWER WILL BE REDUCED.....ETC. LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM TIPS SHORT CIRCUITED. THEY SAY IT WILL COST AT LEAST $1,200.00. AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING WITH THE TIPS, THERE MUST BE A RECALL. IN FACT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN THE TIPS SORT CIRCUIT JUST BECAUSE THE OWNER WASHED THEIR VEHICLE AND WATER GOT INSIDE THE TIPS.

I'VE RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS TRUCK JUST ABOUT HAD IT 90 DAYS IN THE THREE MONTHS I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE I'VE NOTICED BOTH HEAD LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING, SITTING STILL OR TURNING. I'VE REPLACED THE BULBS 4 TIMES TO NO AVAIL, IT APPEARS AFTER SOME RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE 2500 TRUCKS. AFTER SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS I AM COURIOUS AS TO WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I FOR ONE FEEL THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN

ORIGINAL TIPM FAILED AT 151000 MILES CAUSING FRONT TURNING SIGNALS TO MALFUNCTION. THE TIPM CONTROLS ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND SENSORS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE INCLUDING FUEL PUMPS AND AIR BAGS. I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET WHEN AN ALARM DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NOTING A FRONT RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LAMP NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I REPLACED THE BULB PER REPLACEMENT BULB NUMBER SPECIFIED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. ALSO, REPLACED THE TURN SIGNAL MULTI SWITCH WHICH BOTH ITEMS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. MADE THE DECISION TO HAVE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

TRUCK KEEP SHUTTING IT SELF OFF AND WHILE DRIVING.

WHEN FIRST TAKING OFF YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DOESN'T GO. IT'S LIKE IT'S STUCK, NO POWER. FINALLY WILL GO AND THEN KEEPS REPEATING, JERKING. ONCE DRIVING FOR AWHILE IT WON'T DO IT AGAIN.

I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON A ELK HUNTING TRIP IN WYOMING AND MY MODE SELECTOR DOOR GOT STUCK BLOWING ONLY ON THE FLOOR. MY WINDOWS WOULDNT DEFROST BECAUSE THERE WAS NO HOT AIR WOULD COME OUT OF DEFROST VENTS. LUCKILY IM A DIESEL TECHNICIAN BY TRADE AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO REPAIR PROBLEM. I REPLACED MODE DOOR AND PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. AFTER READING ONLINE I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERRY COMMON PROBLEM.

WIPER MOTOR MOUNT WELDS BREAK.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THE LIGHT JUST STAYED ON AND REMAINS ON. WHEN MY TRUCK WAS IN FOR SERVICE, I WAS INFORMED THE OCR MODULE HAD FAILED AND WAS QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $750 TO REPAIR. SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A NON-SERVICEABLE SAFETY COMPONENT THAT HAS FAILED. I HOPE THIS SYSTEM FAILURE IS A RECALL ISSUE.
