WHEN TRAVELLING AT APPRX 65MPH AFTER ABOUT AN HR COMMUTE, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING/TREMBLING BADLY, STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE, I HAD TO DROP MY SPEED TO 25/30 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL OF STEERING AND SHAKING... AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS OR SO, IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL... BUT ONCE I STARTED TRAVELLING AGAIN SAME DISTANCE & MPH THE ISSUE STARTED AGAIN... THIS ISSUE IS RANDOM, THERE ARE TIMES IT DOES IT AND TIMES IT DOESNT, BUT MOST TIMES ITS ONCE THE VEHICLE IS AT A HIGH SPEED.

THE GOODYEAR HP 275/60R20. I HAVE 76000 MILES ON MY DODGE RAM1500 I AM CURRENTLY ON MY SECOND SET OF TIRES I REPLACED THE FIRST SET AT 42000 I HAVE RUFFLY 34000 ON THIS SET. AND I HAVE A BUBBLE ON THE TIRE THAT IS RUFFLY THE SIZE OF A QUARTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD; ALSO HAVE INSIDE WEAR WEAR THE TREAD IS SEPARATING. THE TIRES ARE HAVING EVEN WEAR THIS IS GOOD YEARS ISSUE !!!!! REMINDER THESE ARE 45000 MILE TREAD LIFE WARRANTY ????

ROCKER PANELS ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. CAUSING LARGE HOLES TO FORM. WHILE IN PARK, ROLLED THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW DOWN HEARD A METAL CLANK AND THE WINDOW WOULD NO LONGER GO UP OR DOWN, AS THE WINDOW REGULATOR FELL APART. WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD, I NOTICED SLIGHT DIFFICULTY IN SHIFTING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON HAVING THE CODE READ, THE TRANSMISSION SELENOID IS STUCK OPEN. TIE ROD ENDS ARE LOOSENING AS WELL. SO MANY ISSUES ON A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE

DODGE FOBIK, MY TRUCK USES THE SAME IGNITION SWITCH AS THE JOURNEY, AND WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT MOVING THE SWITCH. BUMPS SHUT MY TRUCK OFF, THIS SWITCH IS RIDICULOUSLY DANGEROUS. I WISH IT WAS A NORMAL SWITCH. IT HAS SHUT OFF 4 TIMES THIS WEEK, IF YOU TOUCH THE KEY IT SHUTS OFF. IT IS NOT A SAFE SYSTEM. IT STARTED THIS VERY INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MY FATHER OWNED THE TRUCK AT 53K MILES.

BRAKES FAILED APPROACHING A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION, WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN FROM A 55-MPH ZONE. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE RESPONSE. LUCKILY, I HAD THE SENSE TO PUMP THE BRAKES QUICKLY BEFORE PLOWING INTO THE BUSY INTERSECTION! TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE MASTER BOOST PUMP, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE IN STOCK. BASICALLY, GOT MY TRUCK BACK A WEEK LATER AND WAS IN SHOCK OVER THE COST TO REPLACE ABOUT A $125 PART (AROUND $500). I NOTICED THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS PERTAINING TO PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA WITH PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND EVEN 2010 YEAR MODELS, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN# WAS NOT AFFECTED...THINK THEY MAY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS TO AVOID SOMEONE POSSIBLY BEING KILLED OR KILLING SOMEONE FROM A SIMILAR PROBLEM! COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC! AT THE VERY MINIMUM, DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A TSB AND SHOULD REFUND $$ FOR THE REPAIR!

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS SHEERING OFF INSIDE ENGINE BLOCK ALLOWING MANIFOLD TO UNSEAT MAKING TICKING NOISE AND ALLOWING EXHAUST TO ESCAPE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLES MUFFLER. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY BOLTS BECAUSE MOST MUST BE DRILLED OUT OF THE BLOCK.

WHEN TURNING ON TO THE HIGHWAY YOU CAN NOT SEE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE METAL PART OF THE CAB BETWEEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW AND THE REAR WINDOW CREATES A BLIND SPOT. I HAVE ALMOST PULLED IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE 3-4 OR MORE TIMES. VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING OR MAY HAVE BEEN MOVING 1 MPH. VEHICLE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE IS A REGULAR CAB TRUCK. THANK YOU. *TR
