2012 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

WIN MODUEL(WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE) VEHICLE HAS 90,000 MILES. WHEN KEY IS INSERTED INTO IGNITION AND TURNED TO THE START POSITION THE WIN MODULE FAILS TO MAKE A CIRCUIT INTERNALLY AND WILL NOT CRANK THE VEHICLE. THE FAULTY CONNECTIONS INSIDE WILL ALSO MOVE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF AT SOMETIMES A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKES,STEERING, LIGHTS, ETC. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. MY PERSONAL VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS REPEATEDLY WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN STARTING. IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WHILE DOING 35 MPH.

TICKING SOUND COMING FROM EXHAUST MANIFOLD, ONLY WHEN ENGINE IS COLD, STILL CONTINUES WHEN WARMER NUT NOT AS NOTICEABLE.

SOMETIME WHEN I DRIVE 40 MPH THE FRONT HAS VIBRATION AND GO AWAY WHEN I GO ABOVE 40 OR LET OFF THE GAS STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO

FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE TIPPIN WENT OUT. STATIONARY AS WOULD NOT START. TOOK TO SHOP, SHOP OWNER SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS IN OTHER DODGE RAMS(RECENTLY AS TWO WEEKS BEFORE WE BROUGHT OURS IN), WAS TOLD THAT SEVERAL MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM(DODGE CARAVAN, JEEP CHEROKEE, AND THE DODGE DURANGO) BUT THE DODGE RAM IS NOT INCLUDED. HE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE USING THE FIX THAT WAS USED ON ALL THE OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES. GAVE US INFO ON WHERE HE FOUND THE FIX WHICH IN TURN OPENED OUR EYES THAT HEY THERE OR LOTS OF THESE FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAYS OUT THERE. WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD, YES THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS AS WELL AND TO SAVE OUR RECEIPTS JUST IN CASE IT WAS ADDED BUT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AT THIS TIME AND THERE WERE NO PLANS THAT THEY NEW OF FOR IT TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. TALKED TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT THE ONES WHO ADDS CARS TO THE RECALL THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR US EITHER. CBWPR091AA WAS THE REPLACEMENT NUMBER FOR THE PART GIVEN TO THE SHOP OWNER FROM MOPAR. JUST WANTED TO PASS THIS ALONG SINCE SEVERAL OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS SAME RECALL AND WE LIVE IN A CITY OF AROUND 10,000 SO IF SEVERAL PEOPLE IN OUR CITY HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR DODGE RAMS, THEN SURELY THERE AT TONS MORE OUT THERE. THANK YOU

WHEN I TURNED ON THE HI BEAMS (VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY), THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, ALL THE DASH LIGHT CUT IN AND OUT, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP, AND THE DOOR AJAR/LIGHTS ON WARNING BELLS WENT OFF. I DIMMED THE HEADLIGHTS AND IT STOPPED. THE DEALER FIRST SAID THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD, AND IT WAS ONLY CHARGING AT 12 VOLTS, SO THEY REPLACED IT, BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN THEY SAID IT WAS THE TIPM. 17 DAYS AND $1351 LATER, I HAVE MY TRUCK BACK.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS CONSTANTLY BREAK. THIS CAUSES EXHAUST LEAK AT THE CYLINDER HEADS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR AND THE PROBLEM IS THERE AGAIN.

MY GAS TANK WAS DRAGGING, WHEN EXAMINED IT TURNED OUT THAT ENTIRE FRAME WAS RUSTED OUT. THE FRAME RAILS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, AS WELL AS THE BRAKE LINES...UPDATED 11/08/17 *BF UPDATED 11/13/2017*JS...UPDATED 11/14/17 *BF UPDATED 9/13/18*JB

ELECTRICAL, AIRBAG SENSOR TO LEFT SIDE, ABG, ANTISKID SENSORS, FOLLOWING CODES BOO2013, BOO2813, B105892, C1020, C2100, U1417, PO441.

1. WHEN PUTTING TRUCK INTO REVERSE FROM PARK OR DRIVE IT TAKES UPTO 7 PLUS SECONDS TO ENGAGE. 2. WHEN 4X4 IS ENGAGED AS YOU COME TO A STOP THE TRUCK LUNGES FORWARD AND CLUNKS EVERYTIME. ALSO IT HAPPENS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE BUT NOT AS BAD...UPDATED 11/07/17 *BF

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE REAR SEAT AREA WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THE ISSUE OCCURS DURING RAIN AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING WASHED.
