2003 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

BLOWER MOTOR WIRING HARNESS FAILED. IT BURNS UP IN STEERING COLUMN. IT IN TURN CAUSES BLOWER MOTOR TO NOT WORK . WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING WINDSHIELD FOGS UP YOU CAN NOT GET DEFROST TO COME ON. HTTP://DODGERAM.INFO/TSB/RECALLS/C11.HTM

I GOT A RECALL LETTER MULTIPLE TIMES. EVERYTIME I TRY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALER THEY SAID THEY DONT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 2 YEARS SINCE I OWNED MY VEHICLE AND THREE DEALERS SAID THEY WILL CALL ME BACK WHEN THEY HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. I EVEN TRIED CALLING A DEALER FROM A DIFFERENT STATE BECAUSE I MOVED. NO SUCCESS. RECALL CODE R26

WHILE DRIVING, TRUCK STALLS, HAPPENED TWICE. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO CODES, FIRST TIME AT STOP SIGN, SECOND WHILE ON STRAIGHT RUN

AS I WAS DRIVING TO MY DRS APPOINTMENT IN A CITY STREET AT 40 MPH. I HEARD A POPPING NOISE FROM THE REAR OF MY TRUCK AND I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER ,I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FOUND MY DRIVE SHAFT LAYING ON THE ROAD ,MY REAR AXLE LOCKED UP , I HAD TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED HOME , AFTER FARTHER INSPECTION I FOUND OUT THAT THE PINION NUT CAME OFF .I RESEARCH THE AND FOUND OUT MANY COMPLAINS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH DODGE TRUCKS OF THIS YEAR ,WITH NO RESPONSE FROM DODGE .WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE A FATALITY BEFORE DODGE ISSUE A RECALL .

RECALL ON AIRBAG REPLACED 9/2017. NOW PASSENGER SEATBELT ORC MODULE BAD AND NOT AVAILABLE FROM MANUFACTURER OR SAFETY RECALL

DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE REAR END IS COMPLETELY OUT NOW TOO!

BLEND DOORS IN THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE ARE KNOWN TO BREAK CAUSING NO HEAT TO BE DIVERTED TO THE DEFROSTER CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD CAN NOT BE PROPERLY DEFROSTED. THIS CAN CAUSE VISIBILITY CONCERNS WHICH CAN RESULT IN A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 319,000. *TT

I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES REGARDING NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V-821. THEY STATE THAT THERE IS STILL NO FIX FOR MODEL YEAR 2013 RAM TRUCKS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE.

MY DAUGHTER GOT ABOUT 300 FEET FROM THE HOUSE AND SAID THE "BRAKES FELT FUNNY" SO SHE DECIDED TO TURN AROUND AT THE CORNER. WELL, SHE SIMPLY TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL BROKE CLEAN OFF AT THE HUB. I THANK GOD SHE WAS GOING LESS THAN 5MPH. HER ROUTE THAT DAY WOULD HAVE PUT HER ON THE HIGHWAY AND IF THIS HAD HAPPENED THEN......I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. THE REPAIR SHOP TOOK PICTURES AND SAID THEY'D PROVIDE WHATEVER INFO I NEEDED. WELL, WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR CHRYSLER TO RECALL THIS A LONG TIME AGO. I UNDERSTAND THE TRUCK HAS SOME MILES ON IT BUT I WAS SHOCKED TO GO ONLINE AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IF ANYBODY HAS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES, THEY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE THE HUBS CHECKED....ESPECIALLY ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AS THAT SEEMS TO BE THE MAIN ISSUE FROM WHAT I'VE READ.
