2004 DODGE RAM Complaints

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. DRIVER WA SABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE, AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. HOWEVER, MECHANIC COUKD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

ALL FOUR TIRES DEVELOPED FLAT SPOTS WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNSTABLE, AND INCREASED THE RISK OF A CRASH. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BY CONSUMER.*AK

MOTOR VEHICLE DEFECT NOTIFICATION FOR DODGE RAM 2004, FAILURE OF WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. *BF THE DEFROSTER WOULD NOT BECOME WARM ENOUGH TO DEFROST, DEFOG THE WINDOWS. *JB

THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE FOG LIGHTS WERE CRACKED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE LIGHT FIXTURE. THIS CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALER, AND MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS A WARRANTY NOT A DEFECT, AND CONSUMER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. *AK

SINCE PURCHASED MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500, FIVE SPEED STANDARD, WILL NOT DECELERATE FOR THREE TO FOUR SECONDS. PROBLEMS ALSO WITH THE CLUTCH. IT HAS TO BE PRESSED FULLY TO THE FLOOR. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS WAS "THE WAY THE TRUCK WAS BUILT". *NM

CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING, NO REASON. NO CODES GENERATED PER DEALER. ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HORN BEEPING AT RANDOM TIMES SOMETIMES DAYS APART. THIS TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEN FOR A WEEK AT TIMES. *AK THERE MAY BE A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE INTERMITTANT HORN SOUNDING AND THE FAILING IGNITION. THE SECURITY SYSTEM WIRING HARNESS AND KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM MAY BE TIED TO AN IGNITION KILL SWITCH WHEN THE DEFECTIVE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM TRIGGERS THE HORN. WHEN DRIVING, THE HORN MAY NOT SOUND AS A KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND/OR THE VEHICLE IS EXCEEDING 15 MPH MAY DISCONNECT THE FINAL CIRCUIT DRIVING THE HORN. REMNANTS OF A SECURITY SYSTEM WIRING MAY EXIST WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHILCLE COMES EQUIPPED WITH A SECURITY SYSTEM OR NOT. THIS WOULD EXPLAIN WHY NO FAILURE CODES ARE EVER FOUND. I WILL GO TO DEALER AND ASK THEM TO REPLACE KEYLESS ELECTRONIC MODULE TO STOP THE HORN FROM TRIGGERING AT RANDOM TIMES AND HOPEFULLY FIX STALLING PROBLEMS.

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED THE SPEEDOMETER, BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS NOT TO OPERATE. THE CONSUMER WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR FOR THE FOURTH TIME THIS YEAR. *JB

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKES ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MECHANIC INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE, AND HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK

WHILE RUNNING CONSUMER FAILED TO TURN THE STEERING COLUMN LEFT OR RIGHT AND IT FAILED TO MOVE ON ITS OWN. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND MECHANIC INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED, AND VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. *AK THE MECHANIC INFORM THE CONSUMER THAT NEW POWER STEERING SYSTEMS DO NOT ALLOW THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE TURNED IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO MAKE TURNS IN PARKING LOTS AND TIGHT SPACES. *NM

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH VEHICLE SHUT OFF. DEALER STATED TRANSFER PUMP FOR THE FUEL FAILED. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL WILL NOT REACH THE ENGINE. *AK
