2005 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

18V160000 recall..Also, the entire bottom of frame is rusted out..its parked inside of garage.no repair shop can fix it..they stated due to rusted frame belt on gas tank is off and gas tank will fall..they told me to junk my vehicle. This is my transportation to work. I've had it towed to shops every one said dodge makes rusted vehicles and dont care...due to rust now right front tire turnt in..I dont know if that's bearings or tirerod.i just want my vehicle to run..can you please help please..

I want to make a complaint because the engine in my 2005 dodge ram 1500 Magnum stalling very often, engine stalling on the traffic freeway couple of times that I have to restart the vehicle quick, good thing cars going slow. The most scary time was when I was making a right turn on this busy avenue and the engine stalled and almost got hit by other's cars the engine stalling very often that already know when it dies I put it on P and restart it as quick as I can before I get hit by other car. The next issue. It makes a grinding sound underneath when taking off at very low speed. I not sure if it is the differential or a wheel but it something there I took it to the mechanic he fix something that was woren it connects to the differential but still makes the noyse. Too many problems with this truck.

When wet or in heavy rain, the battery will shut off and the truck will lose power steering. The truck speedometer will still work and the engine will run, but the battery voltage gauge drops to 0 and the radio and power steering turn off, dangerously, leaving you to have to steer without power steering for the truck.

I was driving on a highway when all of a sudden I heard what I thought to be a blow out (tire) ,as I pulled over on shoulder with difficulty I looked in mirror and saw a part has fallen off, later retrieved with tow truck driver, part being a driveshaft. Rear end had seized as I maneuvered my veh. As far on shoulder as possible, I feel fortunate for outcome of incident. I had gotten a tow to my resident now not sure what my next step is to do, any advise would be helpful. Thank you

Rear differential failure. Right rear drive shaft gets loose and makes continual noise.

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL LAST YEAR AT JIM COGDILL DODGE. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT NOW I STILL GET CALLS AND AM TOLD IT ISN'T FIXED. I HAD ALREADY HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE FIXED LONG BEFORE THAT BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE CONTACTED JIMCOGDILL DODGE AND THE DODGE RAM PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND I KEEP GETTING DIFFERENT ANSW ERS. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY FIXED IT OR NOT.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HAD HIT ME FROM THE BACK. WHEN I GOT OFF TO LOOK I SAW THAT NO ONE HAD CRASHED INTO ME. A BYSTANDER SAYS THAT MY DRIVE SHAFT IS ON THE FLOOR. HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE HOME. WENT TO A DODGE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. HE SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 5 YEARS AGO. THE PROBLEM WAS PREVIOUSLY FIXED. THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I LOOKED UP SOME INFORMATION AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN TO OTHER DRIVERS. ALL OWNERS STATED THAT ISSUES WERE NEVER RESOLVED. MY DAD OWNS A 1999 DODGE 1500 AND THE DRIVE SHAFT HAS NEVER FALLEN OFF.
