2010 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE RAP GETTING ON US1 IN RALEIGH NC A CAR GOT IN FRONT OF ME TO CLOSE. I WAS GOING 55 DUE TO TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO GET SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN MY TRUCK AND THAT CAR. I HEAR A LOUD ROAR AND VIBRATION NEXT THING I KNOW IM SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. I HIT THE GUARDRAIL WITH THE RIGHT, FRONT BUMPER/FENDER...... SPINNING ME AROUND HITTING THE LEFT REAR BUMPER WHICH BOUNCED ME BACK OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC GETTING HIT HEAD ON. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH OR SO, THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT SEPARATED FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO DROP AND THE REAR WHEELS TO SEIZE. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SKIDDING TO A STOP IN THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN AT BILLY BENDER DODGE IN JANUARY TO PERFORM A KNOWN SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK, AND FORGOT TO MAKE THE FIX EVEN THOUGH THE PARTS WERE ORDERED. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE VEHICLE BEING DRAGGED BY THE TOW TRUCK ONTO THE FLAT BED AS THE REAR WHEELS WOULD NOT SPIN. THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING INCIDENT AND THE BLATANT NEGLECT BY THE DEALER HAS ME OUTRAGED. I FEAR THE REAR DIFF AND THE DRIVE SHAFT ARE DESTROYED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROMPTLY AND SERIOUS BY THE DEALERSHIPS, AND FORGETTING TO PERFORM THE RECALL AFTER ORDERING PARTS AND SCHEDULING THE VEHICLE TO BE IN THE GARAGE IS AN OUTRAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT ANY ILLUMINATION OF THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO I BEGAN EXPERIENCING LIGHTING PROBLEMS, FLICKERING ALL AROUND; AND WITH TRUCK OFF THE REMOTE WOULD RANDOMLY, CONTINUOUSLY LOCK THE DOORS. I FINALLY BROKE THE REMOTE TO MAKE IT STOP. NOW MY DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WON'T WORK. I NEEDED MY INSPECTION/REGISTRATION BUT COULDN'T GET IT UNTIL THE LIGHT IS REPAIRED. MY MECHANIC SAID IT'S THE FUSE BOX, SAID IT'S IN HORRIBLE CONDITION. MORE PROBLEMS ARE POSSIBLE. PARTS & LABOR WILL BE NEAR $850. VARIOUS FORUMS ARE INUNDATED WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. A FRIEND OF A CO-WORKER'S TRUCK BURNT TO THE GROUND IN HIS DRIVEWAY (AND SINGED THE HOUSE) BECAUSE THE FUSE BOX DIDN'T TELL THE FUEL PUMP TO SHUT OFF. WITH THAT AND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE READ I'M NOW VERY FEARFUL FOR MY SAFETY. DODGE/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REPLACE THE FUSE BOX IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
