2007 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SHOPPING CENTER ACCESS ROAD AT 15-20 MPH, THE DRIVE SHAFT SEPARATED FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WITHOUT WARNING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEAKED OUT COMPLETELY. THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. THANK GOD I WASN'T TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2005 MODEL YEARS (DODGE RAM 1500 RECALL 14V796000) AS WELL AS 2009-2010 MODEL YEARS (THIS IS AN EXPANSION OF A PREVIOUS RECALL, NHTSA NUMBER 12V474000, CHRYSLER NUMBER M34.CHRYSLER'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS N08). I FEEL ALL MODELS FROM 2005 THROUGH 2010 AND EVEN 2011 SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM WORK THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, TRIED TURNING STARTER MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOTHING STARTS BUT LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD TURN ON. I HAVE JUMP START AND NOTHING. DISCONNECTED BATTERIES FOR 5 MINS AND NOTHING. NO SMOKE. NO LEAKS. NO BURN OR FUMES SMELL. NO CRACKING NOISE WHEN TURNING KEY OVER. CHECK GAUGES LIGHT , E BRAKE LIGHT. AND ABS LIGHT TURN ON AND REMAIN ON WHEN CRACKING.

THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR JAMS AND DOES NOT KEEP THE UPPER SECTION OF THE SEAT BELT TIGHT AGAINST THE DRIVER'S CHEST. WHEN MOVING AROUND DURING NORMAL DRIVING THIS CAUSES MULTIPLE INCHES OF SLACK TO DEVELOP AND THE DRIVER NEEDS TO MANUALLY PULL OUT ON THE SEAT BELT AND FEED IT BACK TO REMOVE THE SLACK. THE UPPER MOUNTING LOOP AND THE SEATBELT ITSELF ARE CLEAN AND NOT DAMAGED.

DRIVING IN WACO TEXAS, I HEARD A NOISE SOUND THE BELT WAS LOOSE. SO PULL TO THE SIDE SAW SMOKE LOOK UNDER HOOD. IT BELT HAD CAN LOOSE. ONE BIG BELT HAD JUST SLIP OFF.IT CONTROL THE AIR WATER PUMP.I CALL A MECHANIC SEE ,IF HE PUT BELT ON. HE COULD NOT CAUSE THE PULLEY HAD BROKE.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED NHTSA RECALL ID 14V-795-BROKEN SPRINGS IN CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. NEVER NOTIFIED OF NHTSA RECALL ID 13V-528-FAULTY LEFT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY. THE LEFT SIDE DOES MAKE A CLUNKING SOUND. I WAS JUST NOTIFIED (LATE) OF NHTSA RECALL ID 15V-313- FAULTY AIR BAGS. IT'S BEEN A MONTH, I WAS INFORMED THEY HAD NO PARTS AND I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL NOTIFIED AGAIN WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MY SON AND HIS CHILDREN RIDE IN MY TRUCK WITH SUCH A GREAT HAZARD AND I'M TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THEY HAVE PARTS? I CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT NOR CAN I AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE I OWN THIS ONE. I WORK FOR A NON-PROFIT COMPANY AND HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES. WHAT ABOUT THE RECALLS I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF? I WOULD LIKE FCA TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK.

SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW IT WOULD SPEW GAS FROM THE FILLER TUBE AFTER THE FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. EVEN THOUGH MY PROBLEM IS EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED, BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER SEARCH DOESNT SHOW MY TRUCK AS BEING INVLOLVED IN THE PROBLEM, DODGE WILL NOT FIX THE CHECK VALVE.
