2005 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

2005 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP SLT TURN SIGNALS MALFUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. RIGHT SIGNAL WILL BLINK WHEN LEFT SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED AND VICE VERSA. HAVE HAD PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY (1) MONTH. DEALER INDICATES NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED. I ORDERED USED REPLACEMENT MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FROM E-BAY. STILL DECIDING IF IT IS SOMETHING I WANT TO ATTEMPT ON MY OWN. OTHERS ON INTERNET HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND FOUND THAT REPLACING THIS PART RESOLVES THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE FROM A COLD START, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR INSPECTION OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS UNKNOWN.

I JUST BOUGHT A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 THE AIR CONTROL BOX DOOR BROKE SO THE AIR ONLY BLOWS OUT THE VENTS NO DEFROST IT GETS HARD 2 SEE WHEN IT RAINS AND IS HUMID. *TR

SON WAS DRIVING DADS 2005 1500 DODGE RAM SLT HEMI ENGINE PICK UP TRUCK AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE TODAY FROM THE ENGINE. FIRE DEPART WAS CALLED IN YUCAIPA CA AND NOW OUR TRUCK IS AT THE REDLANDS AUTO CENTER IN REDLANDS CA. THE FRONT TIRE WAS BURNED, HOOD, AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRING WAS MELTED. THE BATTERY TOTALLY MELTED. TRUCK ONLY HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

THE TRUCK WILL IDLE THEN REV UP, IDLE THEN REV UP UPON A COLD START. ENGINE LOSES POWER DURING LOW SPEED TURNS AND SOMETIMES UPON SLOWING TO A STOP. WHEN ENGINE POWER IS LOST, THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES AND CAN VERY EASILY CAUSE A CRASH. *TR

THIS INCIDENT HAS NOW HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND I AM QUITE CONCERNED. AS I DRIVE MY 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 V8 HEMI, IT STALLS ON ME WITHOUT WARNING. PRIOR TO THIS THE SVC ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I TOOK IT IN TO AUTOZONE W/A REGISTERED EGR SENSOR, VALVE, ETC. I REPLACED THE VALVE, CLEANED OUT THE THROTTLE. THE LIGHT WENT AWAY AFTER THIS FIX. BUT AS I STATED, AS I DRIVE THE VEHICLE IT CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF W/NO NOTICE AT ALL. I THOUGHT TO PROMPT AN INVESTIGATION AS ALL OF MY ONLINE FINDINGS WOULD INDICATE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE IS STALLING AND LOSING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, VERY HARD TO STEER VEHICLE. OCCURS USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS, WHILE TURNING OR JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. I HAVE TO PLACE MY VEHICLE IN PARK & RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE I WAS TURNING IN TRAFFIC & NEARLY COLLIDED WITH OTHER VEHICLES WITH 3 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE REQUESTED FOR THIS TO BE DIAGNOSED AND RESEARCHED SEVERAL TIMES BY MECHANICS, BUT THE DEFECT HAS NEVER BEEN DUPLICATED, RESULTED IN A DIAGNOSIS, OR RESOLVED BY A MECHANIC. IT RANDOMLY OCCURS AND JUST OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY IN TRAFFIC, WHILE TURNING LEFT ON AN INSIDE LANE. I HAD CARS BEHIND AND NEXT TO ME. I HAD TO COME TO A SLOW STOP, BUT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO REMAIN IN MY LANE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THIS CAN RESULT IN A POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT AND WANT TO REPORT THIS IMMEDIATELY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ASIDE FROM SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL AT THIS POINT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH A 4.7 LITER V-8. THE PROBLEM LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD IS THAT THE TRUCK WILL REV UP AND DOWN AT IDLE AND SLOW SPEED. AFTER THE TRUCK STALLED, ALMOST GETTING ME IN A SEVER CRASH AT AN INTERSECTION WHILE TOWING MY BOAT, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE EGR VALVE WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO IT STARTED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED SOME PART ON THE COMPUTER AND REPROGRAMMED IT, BUT THIS ONLY WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND ITS BACK. *TR

ENGINE QUIT AT LOW SPEED. APPLIED BRAKES,WENT TO NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO START CAR.I USE TIS TRUCK TO PULL A FIFTH WHEEL,SINCE THIS HAPPENED DON'T TRUST IF THIS HAPPENED WITH THE TRAILER THERE WILL BE THREE DEAD BODIES. WILL GET RID OF THIS TRUCK DON'T TRUST IT. DEALER SIAD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT SINCS IT IT INTERMITTEN.

MY 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 2WD SHORT BED STANDARD CAB WITH 3.7L ENGINE POWER STEERING IS LEAKING FLUID. TRUCK HAS 53,000 MILES. IT WAS LEAKING A LITTLE WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK USED IN SEPTEMBER 2007 AT 43,000 MILES. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS FROM INDIVIDUALS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE SHOULD RECALL AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO POWER STEERING GOING OUT AND CAUSING SAFTEY ISSUE.
