2005 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I GOT A RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO ABOUT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR AND (2) OTHER ITEMS TO BE REPAIRED,WHICH I PROMPTLY TOOK IN AND HAD REPAIRED,ONLY TO FIND OUT A YEAR LATER THAT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS NEVER REPAIRED. NOTHING WAS SAID TO ME THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE.JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE AND MUST WAIT FOR PARTS AGAIN,WHAT IS GOING ON? DOESN'T DODGE GIVE A [XXX] ABOUT OUR SAFETY? IS IT TIME TO GET A LAWYER AND SUE DODGE AND NHTSA, FOR NOT DOING THEIR JOB. WHY HAVE AN ORGANIZATION THAT DOESN'T DO THEIR JOB? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS UNDER 20 MPH, THE RPMS DROPPED BELOW ONE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING FAILED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,040.

TAKATA RECALL -- MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA 16V-352. I TOOK IT TO TOM EDWARDS CHRYSLER-DODGE-JEEP DEALERSHIP IN BARTOW FL TO HAVE THIS DEFECT REMEDIED, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL REPAIR, AND THEY COULD NOT OR WOULD NOT INFORM ME WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. LIVING IN HOT AND HUMID FLORIDA I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS 11 YEAR OLD VEHICLE MAY POSE A DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE SHOULD THE VEHICLE BE INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AND SEND METAL SHRAPNEL INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN I CAN EXPECT FCA TO MAKE THE NECESSARY PARTS AVAILABLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT THREE TIMES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE RECALL REPAIR WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL....ITS BEEN A MONTH AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AND I THINK THIS IS VERY UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS COULD CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY...

MY 05 DODGE RAM HAS BEEN STALLING IN TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEEDS REGULARLY OF LATE. IT ALSO HAPPENED RECENTLY WHILE PARKED FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT OCASIONALLY (1 FAILURE OUT OF 7) GIVES AN ERROR CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH READS AS A BAD CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I HAVE PUT 3 ON IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. IT STARTED AS INTERMITENT AND HAS BECOME A STEADY ISSUE. TRUCK HAS NEVER RUN HOT, NO NOISES FROM ENGINE TO INDICATE A BAD BEARING OR MIS ALIGNEMENT. WHEEL TEETH ARE NOT BROKEN OR WORN AND THERE IS NOT BUILDUP OF FLAKES OR SHAVINGS ANYWHERE THAT WOULD BE CAUSING A FUALTY SIGNAL. WIRING RINGS OUT AS GOOD. REPLACING THE SENSOR WAS ALLOWING NORMAL OPERATION FOR A SHORT PERIOD BUT IT IS RE-OCCURING AT A FASTER RATE EACH TIME. TRUCK DOES, SO FAR, CONTINUE TO RESART ALMOST IMEDIATELY BUT STILL PRESENTS CONSIDERABLE RISK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THIS WAS LOOKED AT PREVIOUSLY AND TSB 18-013-05 WAS RELEASED AS A "FIX." IT HAS NOT BEEN A SUCCESSFUL FIX AS THE ISSUES CONTINUE TO RE-OCCUR WITH WHAT APEARS TO BE A FAIRLY ALARMING RATE. TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 160,750 MILES ON IT. THE LAST 3 SENSORS WERE INSTALLED IN 2 YEARS AND LESS THAN 20,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL I RECENTLY RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND SPOKE WITH AN FCA EMPLOYEE ABOUT THE RECALL AT THE NUMBER PROVIDED. THE RECALL STATES THAT IT COULD INJURE OR KILL MYSELF OR MY FAMILY YET I WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ANY ASSISTANCE IN FINDING ANOTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WHILE WAITING ON THE RECALL PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE. WILL A RENTAL VEHICLE BE PROVIDED WHILE I WAIT FOR PARTS, AS I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE?

THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,810.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.
