ONLY PUT 30,000 MILES ON THIS DODGE RAM SENCE I GOT IT AND THE REAR PINION SEAL WAS LEAKING, GOT IT REPLACED AND NOW IT IS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE SO LOAD I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID IT HAS LOTS OF SHAVINGS INSIDE THE REAR END. AFRAID IT WILL LOCK UP AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY?

FRAME CUT-OUT FOR MOUNTING GAS TANK STRAP RUSTED OUT CAUSING STRAP TO DISENGAGE FROM FRAME CAUSING TANK TO DROP.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT CAUSING 6000$ OF DAMAGE. INVESTIGATION RE REVILED A RECALL BECAUSE THE NUT THAT HOLD THE SHAFT IN WAS COMING LOOSE CAUSING IT TO FALL. UPON GETTING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE RECALL HAD BEEN FIXED IN 2014. THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL WAS NOT IN PLACE BUT CLAIM THAT BETWEEN THE RECALL BEING DONE AND THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE REMEDY COULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND THIS ID THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD.

THIS TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR IF YOU JIGGLE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION AT LOW AND HIGH SPEED SHUT-OFFS. THE REPAIR REQUIRED THE WIN MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE WIN MODULE REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED ON ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE RAM 1500S, BUT NOT THIS ONE. THE WIN MODULE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL DODGE RAM UNITS. ALSO, THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS PART OF A RECALL ON 2009 DODGE JOURNEYS. THE SHUTOFF PROBLEM SPANS SEVERAL DODGE MODELS WITH THIS TYPE OF IGNITION. I WILL BE SUBMITTING A SECOND COMPLAINT FOR ANOTHER 2010 DODGE RAM WITH THE SAME SAFETY SHUT-OFF PROBLEM..

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 RAM, WITH 85,000, MY ENGINE BLEW WITHOUT WARNING AS MY FAMILY AND I TRAVELED DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MPH INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS WHATSOEVER, NO CHECK ENGINE OR OIL LIGHTS, ETC. AND NOW I'M TOLD I OWE BETWEEN 4-9 K FOR A NEW ENGINE.

THE KEY IGNITION DELAYS WHEN TURNING ON ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND KEEPS OTHER LIGHTS ON THAT SHOULD NOT BE ON.
