2012 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

LIFTERS ON TRUCKAND CAMSHAFT FAILED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND MISFIRE.TRICK HAS ABOUT 115,000 MILES ON THERE NOW. HAD NO POWER OFF THE LINE ON THE HIGHWAY.

DRIVING ALONG AND TRUCK TURNS OFF BY ITSELF 3-5 SECONDS THEN ENGINE RESTARTS BY ITSELF. I'M WORRIED IT'S GONNA CAUSE ME TO GET INTO AND ACCIDENT. DODGE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM ACROSS A LOT OF YEARS WITH NO RECALL FOR MY TRUCK.

THE FUEL PUMP RUNS CONTINUOUSLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY TO DIE AND USUALLY LEAVES ME STRANDED. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL. THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO NOT LET THE VEHICLES REAR WHEELS SPIN OUT OF RATIO, WHICH BASICALLY STOPS THE REAR TIRES FROM SPINNING OUT. HOWEVER, IT SENDS FALSE SIGNALS THAT THEY ARE IT STALLS THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN TBONED SEVERAL TIMES TO DUE THE TRUCK STALLING AND LEAVING ME A SITTING DUCK TO INCOMING TRAFFIC. LASTLY, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, LEAVING ME TO BELIEVE IT'S ALSO RECEIVING FALSE SIGNALS. HOPEFULLY THEY DO NOT DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING. IF THEY DO AND I LIVE, I'LL BE BACK TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT. AFTER DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH, ALL OF THESE ISSUES SEEM TO BE RELATED TO A BAD TIPM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR ISSUE ON THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES PRODUCED BY CHRYSLER AND SOME MODELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AFTER A LAWSUIT. IN MY OPINION THESE ISSUES COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH, AND A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD NOT BE DENIED.

THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT COMES ON AND THE TRUCK MAKES A WEIRD NOISE AND IT HAS THE RIGHT FLUID IN THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE DIFFERENTIALS ARE ALL GOOD BUT WHENEVER THE FULL SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT COMES ON THE TRUCK MAKES UP FUNNY GRINDING IN A RED UP ON THE INTERNET AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM I AM.

I AM GETTING A LOUD HUMMING VIBRATION NOISE, SOUNDS LIKE A TURBO ISSUE WITH THE HEMI COMING EITHER FROM MY TRANSMISSION OR REAR AXEL AT HIGH AND LOW SPEED. IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE AT 65 TO 75 MPH HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO BILL BRYAN IN FLORIDA AND THEY WHERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES EXPERIENCING LOST OF POWER. ONGOING ISSUE WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN .

THE DASHBOARD BEZEL ALARMS WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY ALL ALARM LIGHTS COME ON AT THE SAME TIME . ALL GAUGES GO TO ZERO ,THE TRUCK IS STILL BEING DRIVEN.SPEEDOMETER STILL WORKS .MIL LIGHT COMES ON CODE SAYS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION FROM WIN MODULE TO PCM. I STOP TRUCK TURN KEY TO OFF AND RESTART AND THE ALARMS GO AWAY AND MIL CODE STAYS.HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIME OVER A PERIOD OF A MONTH.

WILL LOOKING UNDER THE BOTTOM OF MY TRUCK I NOTICED THE FUEL TANK SAGGING. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE FRONT BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE FUEL TANK UP IS HANGING DOWN. THE T SLOT THAT HOLDS THE BRAVE IS RUSTED AND WILL NOT HOLD THE BRACKET IN. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND U04 RECALL. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK DOES NOT MEET THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2012 DODGE RAM 1500 BUILT AT THE SALTILLO PLANT IN MEXICO ON 9/10/2011 AND WAS REGISTERED AND DRIVEN IN WEST VIRGINIA (SALT BELT STATE).*DT*JB

MY DODGE RAM 1500 HAS ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION AND DOESN'T ALWAYS START. SOME TIMES IT WILL START AFTER 2-3 ATTEMPTS OF ENGAGING THE SWITCH. IT WILL ALSO DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. HITTING BUMPS WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO DIE AS WELL. BECOMING VERY DANGEROUS. UNHAPPY THIS TRUCK WAS NOT RECALLED WHEN THESE ISSUES WERE RECALLED IN SAME YEAR AND IN SIMILAR VEHICLES. *TR
