2004 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

WHEN THE GAS TANK ON THIS TRUCK IS FILLED TO CAPACITY, THE TRUCK WILL STALL WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE TRUCK CANNOT BE FILLED TO THE "FULL" MARK. IF IT IS IT WILL STALL WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT IS TO NOT FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY FULL.

MY TRUCK WAS PARKED AT WORK AND AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED HOME AND I DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE NEXT DAY I LIFTED THE BED TO REPLACE IT AND I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE WHOLE TOP OF THE TANK'S LOCKING RING TANGS WERE ALL RUSTED AWAY AND THE PUMP WAS JUST SITTING IN THE TANK CROOKED. IF IT WAS FILLED FULL OR IN AN ACCIDENT FUEL WOULD'VE SLOOSHED OUT OF THE TANK. ON A ROLLOVER THE ENTIRE TANK WILL EMPTY.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK LAST SUNDAY (2/5/17) ON A SMOOTH OPEN ROAD SURFACE, WHEN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE BACK TWO TIRES SEIZED UP WHILE GOING 55MPH. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH BOUNCED AND SKIDDED AND THEN CAME TO AN ABRUPT HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE I'D BEEN DRIVING IN. FORTUNATELY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. IN 2013, DODGE ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK AFTER AN NHTSA INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE PINION NUT CAN LOOSEN, CAUSING THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE AND THE DRIVE SHAFT TO DETACH. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SITUATION I SUFFERED OVER THE WEEKEND, HOWEVER DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND THEY'RE REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES FOR AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MY VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL, AND NO ONE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ANSWER EXCEPT TO SAY THAT THE DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY "UNRELATED" TO THE RECALL. OUR FAMILY IS NOW DOWN TO ONE VEHICLE, MY HUSBAND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO TO WORK THIS WEEK FOR LACK OF TRANSPORTATION, AND THE REPAIRS WILL COST IN EXCESS OF $3,000, WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD.
