2012 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

EXHAUST LEAK RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE ALLOWING EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER PASSENGER CABIN.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR "STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY BECOME CHAFFED BY THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE RETAINER SPRING ENDS." I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR BUT WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY DECLINED SAYING THEY "WERE TOO BUSY UNLESS I WANT TO WAIT FOR 4-5 HOURS." I HAD AN APPOINTMENT THAT THEY SET! I REQUESTED THEM TO CALL ME TO RESCHEDULE BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM.

THE INADEQUATE LIGHTING PREVENTED DRIVER OF SEEING DEER ON SHOULDER OF ROAD AND AS DEER WALKED OUT INTO LANE TRUCK HIT THE ANIMAL WITH LEFT FRONT CORNER OF PICKUP. HAVING DRIVEN DODGE PICKUPS SINCE 07 THERE HEADLIGHTS ARE HORRIBLE FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT. THEY NEED RECALLED AND ESPECIALLY UPTO 2014. THEY HAVE SLIGHTLY IMPROVED BUT ARE NO WHERE NEAR SAFE.

CUSTOMER IS FRIGHTENED THAT HE WILL LOOSE HIS LIFE DRIVING HIS TRUCK DUE TO ADMINISTRATOR ROSEKIND'S TESTIMONY REGARDING TIRE SAFETY. THE CONSUMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT ADMINISTRATOR ROSEKIND INDICATED IN HIS TESTIMONY THAT THE RECALL SYSTEM IS BROKEN. CONSUMER WANTS THE SYSTEM FIXED FOR ALL AMERICANS. NHTSA HAS A DUTY AND OBLIGATION TO INVESTIGATE THE DEATHS DUE TO TIRE MALFUNCTIONS. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO BE REASSURED THAT THE RECALL SYSTEM IS CORRECTED AND AT THIS TIME IT IS NOT.

THE TIPM AND FUEL RELAY KEEP GOING OUT IN MY TRUCK. IT CAUSES IT TO NOT START OR THE FUEL PUMP KEEPS RUNNING AND DRAINS MY BATTERY OVERNIGHT. I'VE CONTACTED DODGE SINCE THEY HAVE RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE THAT A STEERING WHEEL HARNESS COULD RUB AND DEPLOY THE AIRBAG AT ANY TIME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO HOLLYWOOD CHRYSLER HOLLYWOOD FL AND THEY REPAIRED AND RETURNED. WHEN I ARRIVED AND FOR THE PRECEDING MONTHS PRIOR MY "FUEL ECONOMY DISPLAY" INDICATED MY AVERAGE MILEAGE WAS 15.8 GALLONS PER MILE REASONABLY WITHIN THE SPECS FOR THIS VEHICLE. FOLLOWING THE WIRING HARNESS REPAIR THE DISPLAY NOW (AND FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS ) REPORTS 11.8 MPG. SOMEHOW THE REPAIR ALTERED THE FUEL USAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER CHECKED AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT MY MILEAGE HAS GONE FROM 15.8 TO 11.8. I'M NOT DRIVING DIFFERENTLY. I'M LOSING 30% OF MY GAS AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNDER ADVERTISED SPECS OF 14/20 MPG THERE IS AN ISSUE THEY DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS. CAN THE NHTSA CONTACT OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS REPAIR AND VERIFY? CAN YOU HELP? THANKS

2012 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE AND WENT OFF THE ROAD. IT WAS DETERMINED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS BAD. UPDATED 10/22/15.*JB

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL; #R36/NHTSA 15V-459. I CALLED PETERSON'S STAMPEDE DODGE IN NAMPA, ID. I SPOKE TO JEN IN SERVICE 208-475-2955. I WAS TOLD THAT 1500 VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. I COULD BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST OF 229 CUSTOMERS, AND WOULD BE CALLED WHEN I COULD BRING THE TRUCK IN. NO ESTIMATED TIME FRAME COULD BE GIVEN. HOWEVER, IF I WANTED TO SCHEDULE AN OIL CHANGE, I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT, AND THE RECALL REPAIR COULD BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE DEALER OIL CHANGE (NORMALLY DO THIS MYSELF) JUST TO JUMP THE LIST FOR A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL. I ALSO DON'T THINK IT IS RIGHT FOR OTHERS TO JUMP AHEAD OF ME BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO HAVE THE DEALER CHANGE THEIR OIL. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LEGAL TO ME.

PURCHASE A BRAND NEW TRUCK IN 2012. TIRES INSTALLED ON TRUCK WERE FROM 2010. HAD TO REPLACE TIRES TO TO OLD AGE. TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND THE TIRES WERE ALREADY 5 YEARS OLD AND STARTED DRY ROTTING. DEALER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHER VEHICLES ARE OR WERE LIKE THIS. ITS A GOOD THING THEY DID NOT BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. INCLUDED IS MY RECEIPT WITH OLD AND NEW TIRES WITH DOT NUMBERS AND DATE CODES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE HOOD OPENED AUTOMATICALLY AND FRACTURED THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A DEALER. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V459000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.
