2011 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

WHEN PULLING OUT OF BUSINESS DRIVEWAY ONTO BUSY RD., TRUCK JUST DIED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. HAD TO GET TOW TO SHOP AND HAD FUEL PUMP REPLACED. FUEL PUMPS DON'T JUST GO OUT AT 30,000 MILES ALL AT ONCE BUT, THIS ONE DID AND I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS. SITTING CROSSWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD IS DEFINITELY UNSAFE! THANK THE GOOD LORD FOR THE GOOD SAMARITANS WHO HELPED ME PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROAD, I AM 68 YRS OLD AND NOT IN THE BEST OF HEALTH.

THE VEHICLE'S TIPM SYSTEM STOPPED WORKED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. IT WAS REPAIRED AND THIS ISSUE HAS PLAGUED OTHER CHYSLER PRODUCTS. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO OFFER ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR.

I HAD THE PINION NUT RECALL DONE IN 2014 AND ON 8/5/2015 THE NUT COME LOOSE AGAIN CALLED RAM ABOUT THE BUY BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT A BUY BACK TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS FIX AND I ASK WHY IT CAN LOOSE AGAIN AND THE DRIVE SHAFT JUST ABOUT FAIL OFF AND JOHN AT RAM SAID NOT IT IS NOT A BUY BACK TRUCK SO WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THIS TRUCK I DONT THINK IT IS A SAFE VEHICLE FOR THE ROAD TO GET SOMEBODY KILLED

THE TRUCK NEEDED A TOTAL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WHILE IT WAS FAIRLY NEW. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WITH NO ABILITY TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. I HAVE READ ON FORUMS HOW OTHERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WHILE SO MANY OTHER DEFECTS HAVE BEEN UNCOVERED WOULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE TRANS PROBLEMS ON THIS MODEL.

THE RAM 1500 I PURCHASED NEW WAS SOLD TO ME WITH AN ACTIVE REAR AXLE RECALL IN EFFECT. I WAS TOLD THAT A RECALL ORDER WAS IN PLACE AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND THAT THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD RECEIVE NOTIFICATION TO BRING MY TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR ON THE REAR AXLE. I NOTICED A GROWLING TYPE NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED THIS WOULD BE REPAIRED WHEN THE REAR AXLE PARTS ARE INSTALLED. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK FOR THE REPAIR AND THEN RETURNED AT A LATER DATE DUE TO A RECURRING GROWLING NOISE IN WHICH THEY ADDED MORE FLUID.I NOW UNDERSTAND ANOTHER RECALL IS FORTHCOMING TO REPAIR THE SEAL ON THE REAR AXLE BOLT. THIS TRUCK SHOULD NOT OF BEEN SOLD DUE TO THE UNSAFE CONDITION TO ME. FAMILY AND OTHERS. THIS HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS A REMEDIED VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH THE UPCOMING RELATED RECALL.I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE BUY BACK DUE TO THE ONGOING PROBLEMS OR RETURN FOR A NEW VEHICLE PURCHASE.
