2010 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

JUST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THE RACK AND PINON STEERING RACK IS LEAKING AND NOW HAS TO BE REPLACE BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

GAS WAS SPRAYING OUT AFTER FILL UP AND HAD TO GET GAS TANK REPLACED BECAUSE OF A BAD CHECK VALUE ON THE TANK. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL DODGE VEHICLES. *TR

SINCE DECEMBER, AND EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED UP SINCE, GAS COMES SPLASHING OUT WHEN IT IS FULL. DIFFERENT PUMPS, DIFFERENT STATIONS, ON SLOW FILL OR FAST, DOESN'T MATTER. WHEN IT GETS FULL GAS GUSHES OUT AND ONTO WHATEVER IS THERE. DODGE/CHRYSLER HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH EARLIER YEARS AND THE INLET CHECK VALVE AND ARE REPAIRING OLDER VEHICLES. MY 2010 ISN'T INCLUDED..YET. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, AND JUST A ROYAL PAIN. HOW CAN COMPANIES CONTINUE TO PUT CUSTOMERS IN DANGER AND THE GOVERNMENT NOT STEP IN A DO SOMETHING ABOUT. *TR

RECALL NOTICE #2 CAME THIS WEEK....THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OUT FOR ALMOST A YEAR...MY DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL AND DOES NOT KNOW WHEN DODGE WILL SEND THEM OUT. REAR AXEL PINION SHAFT NUT / SHAFT SPLINE PROBLEM. WHY SEND OUT A RECALL W/O A FIX IN HAND OR AT LEAST SCHEDULED?? *TR

ACCELERATOR PEDAL BROKE OFF, MADE OF PLASTIC, WITH ADJUSTABLE PEDALS OPTION. THIS BROKEN PEDAL WAS REPLACED BY DEALER ON WARRANTY IN 2013, AND AFTER THE REPAIR THE NEW PEDAL BROKE OFF AGAIN. THIS PART SEEMS DEFECTIVE, IT IS MADE OF THIN HOLLOW PLASTIC THAT BREAKS OFF FROM NORMAL DRIVING PRESSURE, SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

I RECEIVED A PINION NUT RECALL NOTICE IN ABOUT JANUARY OF 2013. AS OF NOW BOTH DEALERSHIPS THAT I HAVE CONTACTED MULTIPLE TIMES ARE UNABLE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THEIR REASON IS THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR SINCE THE FIRST NOTICE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

LEAVING WORK,I ATTEMPTED TO TURN AT INTERSECTION AND STEERING SEEMED TO LOCK, THEN I WAS ABLE TO TURN WITH GREAT EFFORT.TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD RACK AND PINION UNIT HAD FAILED.AT 47000 MILES THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT NEEDS ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR
