2012 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

HAD RECALL 15V-459 COMPLETED AT JACK POWELL DODGE DEALERSHIP 06/09/2016. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COMPLETED RECALL REPAIR. AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME STILL CONTINUOUSLY AND INTERMITTENTLY WENT OFF WHILE ENGINE RUNNING. TRUCK SUFFERED FRONT END DAMAGE IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT 07/29/2016 REQUIRING NEW BUMPER, GRILL AND HOOD. THIS ACCIDENT WAS SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. STILL TODAY, AIRBAG CHIME AND SENSOR LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY / INTERMITTENTLY GOES OFF. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK OR DRIVE; SEATS OCCUPIED OR EMPTY. I DONT BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR WAS MADE AT DEALERSHIP.

THIS CAN KILL SOMEONE! THIS COULD HAVE KILLED MY FAMILY! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE TRUCK! CHEVY I WILL STICK TOO! I KNOW ANYTHING YOU BUY CAN HAVE A PROBLEM BUT WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS AND NOTHING IS DONE IT'S BAD BUSINESS! THIS IS NOT SOME PEOPLE ARE DOING TO DODGE TRUCKS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING ON WITH THE MAKER OF THIS TRUCKS! SO IS ANYBODY GONNA DO SOMETHING? WILL OUR TRUCKS GET FIXED? I PAID MONEY TO BUY A TRUCK THAT I KEEP UP AND DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS BUT THE RELAY LOSE OF ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING, NOW WHY AND HOW IS THAT? IS A DODGE TRUCK SUPPOSE TO DO THAT? WHEN BUYING MY TRUCK DID ANYBODY TELL ME THIS WOULD HAPPEN? NO! SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE, NO! THIS TRUCK COULD KILL PEOPLE! I WASTED MY MONEY ON BUYING THIS TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE TAILGATE OPENED INDEPENDENTLY AND CAUSED OBJECTS TO FALL OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID MY VALVES, LIFTERS, AND CAMSHAFT WERE DAMAGED. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 110,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE TRUCK LOST POWER, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, LUCKY THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN ENOUGH TIME, BEFORE ANOTHER VEHICLE COULD HIT ME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THING, WITH THESE TRUCKS, THE MECHANIC CAN'T REPLACE THE PIECES BECAUSE OF OUT OF STOCK, SO HE WANTS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.

CYLINDER MISFIRE AT HIGH RPM. ROLLER LIFTERS GETTING STUCK OR WEARING AND CAUSING GROOVES OR EXCESSIVE CAMSHAFT WEAR. RANDOM CYLINDERS AND LIFTERS BECOMING STUCK OR BEARINGS ON LIFTERS FAILING CAUSING EXCESSIVE AND PREMATURE CAMSHAFT WEAR OR FAILURE OF LOBES ON CAMSHAFT. 2012 HEMI 5.7L ENGINE. HAPPENS WHEN ENGINE PUT UNDER A LOAD SUCH AS GETTING ONTO HIGHWAY OR PASSING A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE. UNDER LOAD OR HIGHER RPM ENGINE FAULT LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND WILL BLINK ON AND OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS. PURCHASED ON 11/16/19 AS USED VEHICLE. ODOMETER 147514.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE RAM 1500 THAT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREETS OR TURNING AND SOMETIMES WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. IT STARTED A COUPLE YEARS AGO BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I PUT MY VIN # IN AND THERE IS NO RECALL WHICH THERE SHOULD BE AFTER READING THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS THAT'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED WITHOUT MYSELF HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS TRUCK.
