Recall T79 or 17V-821 or break transmission shift pin stuck in open position. This is the 2nd time this has happened and serious damage has occurred to the vehicle. Dodge won't do anything about it. Vehicle was parked, turned off, no key. I came out of building and it shifted into gear on its own and rolled backwards into a pole.

The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V821000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 220,000.
MY WIFE AND I WERE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN VIBRATION THEN A LOUD BANG, AND THERE WAS SOMETHING HITTING UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT WAS MISSING AND MOST OF THE TRANSFER CASE. I WENT BACK AND CLEANED ALL THE STUFF OFF THE ROAD. ALSO AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING FROM THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT HITTING IT AND THE BRAKE LINES AND OTHER LINES AND HOSES IN THE VICINITY WERE DESTROYED.THE INS CO. WOULD NOT COVER IT AND THE REPAIR BILL WAS IN EXCESS OF 10,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR AXLES SEIZED AND THE REAR TIRES SLID WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SLID OFF THE ROAD DUE TO THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS A MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A FILL PLUG AND NEW GEAR OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER FILL COVER FOR THE FILL PLUG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
I OWN A 2012 RAM 2500 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH 130 THOUSAND MILES ON IT FIRST. I WAS DRIVING DOWN ON AN INTERSTATE IN DAN ANTONIO GOING AROUND 70 MPH WHEN I HEAR AND FEEL A BAD VIBRATION. I START TO SLOW DOWN WHEN I HEAR A LOUD BANG AND FEEL SOMETHING HIT THE FLOORBOARD. IT HIT SO HARD THE PENS I HAD NEXT TO THE SHIFTER FLEW TO THE BACKSEAT. I IMMEDIATELY LOSE MY CLUTCH (SLAVE CYLINDER WAS SMASHED) AND I LIMP IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER PUT MY FLASHERS AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF. I GET OUT AND MY FRONT DRIVE SHAFT IS COMPLETELY GONE AND SO IS HALF OF MY TRANSFER CASE ALONG WITH THE SLAVE CYLINDER TO WORK MY CLUTCH. MY FUEL AND BRAKE LINES ARE INTACT BUT ARE PULLED DOWN BELOW THE FRAME. I INFORM MY INSURANCE IMMEDIATELY, AND THEY COME OUT TO INSPECT IT, AND SAY IT WAS MECHANICAL. SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE MECHANICAL COVERAGE ON MY FULL COVERAGE THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO. I HAVE MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND SAY THE VIBRATION CAUSED MY BOLTS THAT HOLD THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT TO THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SHEARED OFF AND THE SHAFT GOT LODGED INTO THE GROUND CAUSING IT TO BREAK THE TRANSFER CASE IN HALF. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS IS MORE OF AN ISSUE THAN RAM WANTS TO LEAD ON. TRANSFER CASES ARE HARD TO GET AHOLD OF SAME AS THE DRIVE SHAFT. SO FAR I HAVE GOTTEN THE SLAVE CYLINDER MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED FOR 150 DOLLARS. I'VE BEEN QUOTED UPWARDS TO 2000 DOLLARS FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSFER CASE. SINCE THEY DON'T COME WITH THE MOTOR THAT IS ANOTHER 300 DOLLARS. THEN THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT COST AROUND 700 TO 750 DOLLARS. TO PAY MY MECHANIC FOR THE WORK HE IS GOING TO DO IT FOR 500 DOLLARS. A TOTAL OF 3650 WITH ANOTHER 150 TO TOW IT BACK FROM THE SHOP SINCE MY INSURANCE REFUSED TO DO THAT FOR ME. A TOTAL OF 3800 DOLLARS BECAUSE THE CV JOINT WENT OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS SIGNS.
TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES WILL START BACK UP A SECOND LATER, SOMETIMES NEED TO BRING IT TO A FULL STOP, TO RESTART THE TRUCK. IT WILL DO IT AT RANDOM NO MATTER WEATHER TYPE OF DRIVING, IT WILL JUST DO IT.
HEARD CLUNKING NOISE WHILE SHIFTING BETWEEN REVERSE/DRIVE. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. NOW IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE NOISE IS SO LOUD I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT ONLY HAS 65000 MILES BUT IT IS OVER ON TIME BY ONE YEAR. SOUNDS LIKE IT IS FROM THE TRANSFER CASE AREA.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 RAM 2500 CUMMINS DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70-75 MPH. THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY MULTIPLE VIOLENT SOUNDS COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE JUST BELOW MY FEET. THE FLOOR BOARD BELOW MY FEET WAS PUSHED UPWARD NEARLY 1 FOOT FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS SLAMMING INTO THE CAB UNTIL I COULD GET PULLED OVER. THE DRIVETRAIN NEARLY PENETRATED INTO THE CAB. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK THE TRANSFER CASE HAD EXPLODED LEAVING METAL COMPONENTS ALL OVER THE INTERSTATE. THE EXPLOSION HAS CAUSED FROM EARLY ESTIMATES 15-25K IN DAMAGES. THE TRANSFER CASE, TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFTS, BRAKE LINES, WIRING HARNESSES, EMISSIONS COMPONENTS AMONG OTHER PARTS ARE COMPLETELY RUINED. THE TRUCK MAY BE TOTALED. THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER ISN'T BEING VERY HELPFUL. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE CASE NEXT TIME.
WITH BRAKE PEDDLE DEPRESSED, WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK.
WHILE TRAVELING S/B ON ROUTE 17 IN NEW JERSEY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER MY TRUCK AND THEN SUDDENLY MY FRONT WHEELS OF MY TRUCK LOCKED UP AND I SKIDDED TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE TRUCK WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACK AND I HAD TO GET A TOW TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP ON ROUTE 4 IN NEW JERSEY. DODGE REPAIRED THE FRONT AXLE SAYING IT WAS A RECALL OF WHICH I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE, ALSO SURESKY DODGE IN GOSHEN, NEW YORK ALWAYS SERVICED MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2012, THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF SUCH RECALL.
HAVE A SHAKE IN THE TRUCK! HAVE TAKEN IT IN MANY TIME TO BE FIXED! FOR FOUR YEARS HAVE HEARD IT NORMAL TO YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. FINALLY AFTER 6 OR 7 DEALER ONE DECIDED IT WOULD OPEN IT UP. THE HOOKED IT UP TO THIS MACHINE THAT WOULD TELL THEM WERE IT'S COMING FROM. THEY TELL ME THE ONLY THING THEY CAN FIND IS A TRANS MOUNT. SO AFTER THAT THEY OPEN THE REAR END THEY HAD TO REBUILD IT. THEN THEY HAD TO PUT ALL NEW FROM REAR END UP TO THE ENGINE WHILE POWER TRAIN. IT STILL HAD A SHAKE! THEN THEY GOT AN OK TO OPEN THE ENGINE FROM CHRYSLER. SO THEY ADJUSTED THE VALUE LASH. O ALMOST FORGOT THE DEALER HAD MY TRUCK 7 MONTHS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO WHEN I PICKED IT UP FROM SZOTT M-59 ON THURSDAY AT AROUND 7 PM AND BUY SATURDAY MORNING TRUCK IS ON FIRE IN DRIVE WAY AT ABOUT 9 AM. I DROVE IT ON FRIDAY ,I PARKED IT BY 4 PM . SO IT WAS OFF FOR ABOUT 17 HOURS OR SO. HAVE NO IDEA WHY THERE WAS A FIRE. REALLY WOULD LIKE TO NO WHAT HAPPEN. HEARING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ALTERNATOR. BUT WITH THE DEALER TAKING OF THE TOP OF THE MOTOR OFF TO READJUST THE VALVE LASH.I THINK THEY HAD TO TAKE OF THE WIRE HARNESS AND BATTERY CABLES TO WORK IN IT. WOULD LOVE TO FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG!!!!!!!!!! THE TRUCK WAS IN DRIVEWAY FACING SOUTH WIND WAS COMING FROM THE SOUTH. TEMP OUT SIDE WARM. TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF AROUND 4PM FRI. FIRE LOOKED LIKE IT STARTED ON DRIVER SIDE. LOOKED LIKE BATTERY AREA IS WERE THE FIRE STARTED DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE TO MUCH PAPER WORK TO SEND!!!!
FRONT END VIBRATION LOOSE STEERING. OVER 60MPH VERY BAD VIBRATING ALMOST FEELS AS IF THE TRUCK WAS BEING PUSHED ONE WAY AND GOING THE OTHER. BRAKING ALSO CAUSES THE STEERING TO WOOBLE OR PULL DEPENDING ON THE SPEED, WHEN HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD WAY IS THE WORST I NEVER KNOW WHERE I MAY END UP. ALL HIGHWAY AND TURNING INTO COMPANIES I USE IT AS A SALES VEHICAL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CYCLED OFF AND ON FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOLENOID PACK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,989. UPDATED 11/01/16*LJ *TR
THE TRANSFER CASE OF THE TRUCK BROKE SUDDENLY AND SINCE I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MILES, THE ROTATION OF THE METAL PARTS KEEP GOING AND BROKE MAYOR PARTS UNDER THE RUCKS SUCH AS TRANSMITION, SUSPENSION, OIL LINES, DIESEL LINES, AND MUCH AND MUCH MORE EVEN MADE A HOLE UNDER THE CABIN. THE PART UNDER THE TRUCK JUST LOOK LIKE SOMETHING EXPLODED BECAUSE THE DAMAGE IS TOO BIG. EVEN BEYOND REPAIR FOR ME.
RAM 2500 6.7 DIESEL. TRUCK HAS A 1-3 SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHEN RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THEN PRESSING IT AGAIN. THIS IS NOT RELATED TO TURBO-LAG LIKE OTHERS MAY HAVE ASSUMED, BUT RATHER ENGINE MANAGEMENT. EXAMPLE: IF YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG IN TOWN AT 30 MPH, COME TO AN INTERSECTION AND START TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THEN DECIDE THAT ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS TOO CLOSE SO YOU BACK OFF THE THROTTLE, THEN CHANGE YOUR MIND AGAIN AND STEP ON IT TO MAKE THE TURN, THE ENGINE SIMPLY DOES NOT RESPOND. IF IT IS ANY CONSOLATION, I KNOW OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES, WITH MODEL YEARS FROM 2010 TO PRESENT, AND ALL WITH THE 6.7 CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL ENGINE.
PRIOR TO EPA EMISSIONS RECALL I WOULD ACHIEVE DIESEL FUEL EFFICIENCIES AS HIGH AS 21 MPG HIGHWAY, PULLING A 18 FOOT TRAILER AT A 1 HOUR DURATION. THE CITY MPG AVERAGED TO 13-15 MPG, SINCE THE EMISSIONS RECALL UPDATE MADE ON THIS VEHICLE, MPG HAS AVERAGED BETWEEN 10-13 MPG ON HIGHWAY WITH NO LOAD/NO TRAILER AND AVERAGES BETWEEN 9-11 MPG IN CITY. THESE BENCHMARKS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY COMPARED AND ROAD CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN SAME. TO ADD TO THIS ISSUE, THERE HAS BEEN A LOSS OF POWER THAT HAS CAUSED UNEXPECTED HESITATION IN A NUMBER OF INSTANCES. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS PUT IN HARMS WAY AS CROSSING CITY DIVIDED HIGHWAY, CROSSING STREETS AND/OR DIVIDING HIGHWAYS WHERE THAT MULTI-DIRECTIONAL TRAFFIC LIGHTS ARE NOT ALWAYS PRESENT. TO FURTHER EXPLAIN, REALIZING THE POWER PICKUP WAS NOT PRESENT AND TURBO DID NOT SEEM TO BE 'SPUN UP' EVEN THOUGH ACCELERATION WAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. NOTE, TO HELP TO POSSIBLY REMEDIATE THESE POTENTIAL ACCIDENT OCCURRENCES, I MUST POWER BRAKE AND INCREASE ENGINE RPM'S TO HELP BRING THE VEHICLE TO A POWER LEVEL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF POWER LATENCY. THIS SOMETIMES HELPS BUT NOT ALWAYS BECAUSE POWER IMPOTENCY SEEMS TO BE UNPREDICTABLE AT TIMES.
AFTER RECEIVING NOTIFICATION FROM DODGE THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE DIESEL FUEL HEATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR (RECALL P65/NHTSA 14V-635) MY DODGE DEALER (RAIRDON DODGE, BELLINGHAM) TOLD ME THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL WERE ON BACK ORDER FROM DODGE. SUBSEQUENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND WHEN DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE OXYGEN SENSOR SYSTEM. ONCE AGAIN THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER FROM DODGE AND THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED, THIS WAS CLOSE TO A MONTH AGO AND IN THE MEANTIME THE TRUCK HAS BEEN PARKED AND NOT BEEN USED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS EXTENDED PERIOD WAITING FOR BACK ORDERED PARTS IS EXCESSIVE AND NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED, ESPECIALLY WHEN DODGE INDICATED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL WERE AVAILABLE.
