MY TRUCK'S TURN SIGNAL HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND WHEN YOUR SIGNALING TO GO LEFT THE REAR LEFT TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT ACTIVATE INCLUDING THE LEFT REAR FLASHERS. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE DEALER REFLASHED MY TIPM AND IT DID RESOLVED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS THAT THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT INSTEAD WHEN ACTIVATING THE LEFT TURN SIGNALS IT WOULD START WORKING FOR A COUPLE SECONDS BEFORE JUMPING ACTIVATING THE OPPOSITE TURN SIGNAL (RIGHTSIDE) ALMOST CAUSING A NEAR COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OUT ON THE ROADWAYS. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND I DON'T HAVE $1,000.00 TO HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE MY TIPM WHICH I'VE FOUND VIA ONLINE ON SEVERAL DODGE FORUMS STATING THAT IT WILL DEFINITELY RECTIFY AND FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS/HUB. 4X4... SEVERE GRINDING/ VIBRATION IN TURNS. BEARINGS WERE DRY AND WORN BADLY . THIS CAUSED UNCONTROLLABLE WHEEL MOVEMENT DURING BREAKING. LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL IN THE RAIN WHEN BRAKING.. LUCKILY NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE IN INCIDENT. *TR

WE WENT FOR A DRIVE TO MEDORA ND. WHERE WE SPENT THE NIGHT AND AFTER WE LEFT TO RETURN HOME ON HWY 94 WHEN I WAS PULLED OVER BY A STATE HIGHWAY PATROL. THE OFFICER SAID I HADN'T TURNED MY SIGNAL ON. I TOLD HER THAT I HAD AND WHILE SHE GETTING MY INFORMATION I WAS CHECKING OUT MY SIGNALS THEY WOULD WORK AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T THEN I TURNED ON THE LEFT SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN IT TURNED THE RIGHT THE RIGHT WORKED FINE. I TURNED THE FOUR WAY FLASHER THE LEFT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON. WEIRD. WHEN THE OFFICER CAME BACK TO THE TRUCK I TOLD HER THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY SIGNALS. SHE SAID THAT I SHOULD TAKE IN AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. SO I AM NOW WAITING TO GET IT INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE REALLY MESSED UP NOTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. I HAVE NOTICED AFTER DOING A SEARCH THAT MANY DODGE PICKUPS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP ENCOURAGE A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DODGE RAMS HAVE A BIG RUST PROBLEM. RIGHT OVER THE WHEELS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK (WHEEL WELLS) THEY RUST HORRIBLY BECAUSE OF THEM MAKING A LIP ON THE INSIDE THAT HOLDS WATER AND DEBRIT AND ERODE THE WHEEL WELL WHICH EVENTUALLY BRAKES APART. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL DODGE TRUCKS FROM 2003- 2008. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE INCIDENTS REPORTED. THE COST TO REPAIR IS HORRIBLE FOR A PERSON TO PAY ALSO. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

INTAKE VALVE SEAT FELL OUT OF CYLINDER HEAD, BREAKING PISTON TOP, RENDERING THE ENGINE USELESS. *TR

MY TRUCK'S LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING SPLIT IN HALF DESTROYING THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE INCLUDING MY TIRE. I CALLED DAIMLERCHRYSLER AS YOUR WEBSITE SUGGESTED AND GAVE THE CAMPAIGN #07V038000 AND RECALL #G02 AND WAS INFORMED MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. WHAT HAPPENED WAS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED ON YOUR RECALL EXCEPT WITHOUT THE NOISE OR VIBRATION. WHAT UPSETS ME THE MOST IS THE RECALL WAS ISSUED 2/2007 THEY KNEW THERE WERE QUESTIONABLE PART INSTALLED. THEY SHOULD WIDEN THE VIN RANGE AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL, LOOKS LIKE THEY MISSED BY AT LEAST ONE. ONE SITE LISTS 86,333 VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL BUT NOT MINE? I AM JUST LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN THREE WEEKS FROM NOW AS I AM PULLING A CAMPER ACROSS TENNESSEE WITH MY FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.
