2010 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING INTO GARAGE. ENGINE RPM INCREASED WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. NOTHING HAPPENED LUCKILY I HAD THE BRAKE APPLIED SO I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY A COUPLE OF TIMES THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES BY ITSELF MOMENTARILY CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SURGE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IN SUNNY DAY LIGHT THERE IS A GLARE ON THE CHROME FINISHED RING AROUND CENTER CONSOLE THAT IMPAIRS THE DRIVER`S AND PASSENGER`S VISION ALMOST TO THAT YOU CAN`T SEE ANYTHING. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 RAM WITH 50K MILES ON IT AND JUST GOT A WAKE UP CALL. WHILE RUNNING WITH RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, HEARD A LOUD WHINE, THEN KABLAM!!! THE REAR OF THE TRUCK LOCKED UP AND KICKED ME DEAD SIDEWAYS, LUCKILY I HAD JUST GOTTEN INTO A GAP BETWEEN TRAFFIC. NOTHING LIKE HAVING A FULL SIZE CREW CAB TRUCK SLIDING SIDEWAYS ON AN INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK STRAIGHTENED UP AND AS IT WAS ABOUT TO SLIDE AROUND THE OTHER WAY I HEARD THE REAR END EXPLODE AND THE REAR WHEELS FREED UP AND I GOT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. KUDOS TO THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME, CARS AND THE 2 18 WHEELERS THAT WERE ABLE TO AVOID T BONING ME AS I WENT ON THIS WONDER RIDE. I CLIMBED OUT THE PASSENGER DOOR AND CALLED MY DEALER, THEY HOOKED ME UP WITH ROADSIDE AND AN HOUR LATER!!! WITH RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC JUST MISSING MY TRUCK BY INCHES, I GOT TO MY DEALER. THEY HAVE YET TO GET IT ON THE RACK TO LOOK AT IT. I DID CRAWL UNDER IT IN THE LOT. DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF. THE PINION APPARENTLY CAME LOOSE, I CAN SEE IT INSIDE THE DIFFERENTIAL AND ALL THE THREADS ARE PRESENT. THE DRIVE SHAFT IS BEAT ALL UP, YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT HUNG ON THE FRAME WHEN THE TRUCK WENT SIDEWAYS. THE FRONT OF THE DIF LOOKS CRACKED, THE PINION IS INSIDE THE DIF WEDGED AGAINST EVERYTHING. THE TRANS SEAMS TO BE LEAKING FLUID AS WELL, CRACKED????? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!! FIRST MINE IS NOT THE ONLY RAM THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. MY DEALER HAS HAD 1 OTHER IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND ANOTHER FOR NO OIL IN THE REAR DIFF. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS SERIOUSLY HURTS OR KILLS SOMEONE. I HAVE MANY MOONS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE UNDER MY BELT AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM SPLATTERING. CALL IT SKILL, LUCK, WHATEVER, BUT IT COULD'VE TURNED OUT VERY BADLY. *KB

HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN DRIVING. DASH LIGHTS REMAIN ON. THEY WILL COME BACK ON IN A FEW MILES AND ALSO IF I STOP THE TRUCK AND RESTART. PLAYING WITH THE SWITCH DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP 4 TIMES TO SEARCH FOR AN ERROR BUT NONE ARE SHOWN. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING SINCE THEY CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. I ALSO HAD THE SIDE OUTSIDE HEATED MIRROR REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAD A BURNT SPOT IN THE LOWER CORNER. UCONNECT HAS ALSO BEEN AFFECTED AT TIMES RIGHT BEFORE THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED "NOT TRAINED" ONE MORNING WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR TO GET IN. *TR
