DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND WILL NOT OPEN. SINCE IT'S THE REAR DOOR THERE IS NO KEY HOLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WITH REMOTE DOOR OPENER EITHER.

HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH TIRES. SEPARATING ON 3 TIRES OUT OF SET OF 4. THE NEXT 4 TIRES DEVELOPED BUBBLES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. TRUCK BOUNCES DOWN THE ROAD. SPEED DOESNT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR BUT MORE OBVIOUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. TRUCK HAS STALLED ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS WHICH ARE VERY CLOSE TO MY HOUSE. I FINALLY GOT THE NUT RECALL AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD NO PARTS. FINALLY IT WAS DONE 2 WEEKS AGO. WHILE THERE I INQUIRED ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS TOLD THEY WERENT AWARE OF IT, THAN THEY SAID WE HAVE TO ORDER PARTS . I WAS HOPING THE NUT RECALL WOULD SOLVE THE BOUNCE ISSUE IT HAS NOT. I AM AFRAID YET ANOTHER SET OF TIRES WILL BE YET A WASTE OF MORE MONEY I DONT HAVE, AND STILL SCARED OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN WHEN WHAT IS CAUSING THE BOUNCE FINALLY BREAKS. THIS IS A 2005 DODGE 1500 QUAD CAB 2 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE I BOUGHT NEW. IT REPLACED A DODGE SPORT QUAD CAB 4X4 WHICH WAS STOLEN, ALSO BOUGHT NEW IN 1998. I NEVER BOUNCED IN MY 4X4 WHICH I WOULD THINK WOULD BE A ROUGHER RIDE. BRAKES ARE ALSO A ISSUE. FRONT BRAKES TO BE EXACT. THEY GO THROUGH THEM QUICK. AT LEAST 5 SETS, SOME WITH ROTORS ON A VEHICLE WHICH JUST TURNED 80,000 MILES. THESE ARE THE HEAVY DUTY ONES AS WELL. I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD GET BETTER MILAGE. DOESNT SEEM TO MATTER.
