2008 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

VEHICLE ENGINE WILL DIE/STALL WHEN GAS IS FULL, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS OR STOPPING QUICKLY AS IN FOR AN EMERGENCY. SOMETIMES JUST DIES WHEN SLOWING DOWN. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO GAS MOVING AROUND IN THE GAS TANK WHEN IT IS FULL OR CLOSE TO FULL. WHEN VEHICLE DIES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE ALSO LOST MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND IT QUICKLY BECOMES A DANGEROUS SITUATION TRYING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHTS THOUSANDS OF POUNDS WHILE MOVING ALONG A BUSY STREET. VERY DANGEROUS.

DRIVING STRAIGHT IN TOWN AT 30 MPH WHEN REAR-END LOCKED UP. WITH NO WARNING, NO SOUNDS, NO GRINDING, SQUEALING, OR SHIMMYING, THE TRUCK SKIDDED ABOUT 20 YDS BEFORE THE DRIVESHAFT LITERALLY RIPPED IN HALF, WITH BOTH HALVES SHOOTING OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. PINION BEARING ALREADY HAD BEEN REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR PRIOR AFTER FEELING SOME GRINDING AND HEARING SOUNDS, BUT HAS RUN SMOOTH AS BUTTER SINCE. I HAD MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION AT TAKE TEN ABOUT A MONTH AGO. REAR END REMAINED LOCKED UP WITH DRIVESHAFT REMOVED (OBLITERATED) WHEN THE TOW TRUCK GOT THERE. GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY, OR MYSELF AND 7 YEAR OLD SON MAY HAVE NOT SURVIVED.

THE DRIVE SHAFT SEPARATED FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, DUE TO THE PINION NUT LOOSENING, AND THE REAR AXLE LOCKED UP. THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A TOWN ROAD, WHEN THIS OCCURRED.
