2004 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING, ABS AND BROKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. FOUND A FORUM WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG EXPLOSION POTENTIAL. I HAD THE DEALER ORDER THE REPLACEMENT PART OVER 6 MONTHS AGO AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART. I AM ON BLOOD THINNERS SO I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE MY TRUCK FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD EASILY BE FATAL TO ME.

PINION NUT CAME OFF CAUSING REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOCK UP AND ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V313000 AND 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CERRITOS DODGE (18803 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, PHONE: (562) 402-5335), BUT THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GLENN E. THOMAS DODGE (2100 E SPRING ST, SIGNAL HILL, CA 90755, PHONE: (562) 426-5111), BUT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TURN SIGNAL, WINSHIELD WIPERS, AND SPEED CONTROL HAS A MIND OF THEIR OWN. HALF THE TIME NOT WORKING THE REST OF THE TIME THE WHEN SIGNALING TO TURN RIGHT THE RIGHT DONT WORK THEN WHEN SIGNALING LEFT THE RIGHT SIDE BLINKS INSTEAD OF THE LEFT. THE WINSHIELD WIPERS JUST RANDOMLY SWIPE SOMETIMES WHEN NOT EVEN CRANKED AND KEYS NOT EVEN IN THE IGNITION.

WE HAVE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT A LOCAL DEALER TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED. WE HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL AS DEALER DOES NOT RETURN OUR CALLS TO SCHEDULE THIS

ENGINE STALLS AT ALL SPEEDS ON AN INTERSTATE WHILE GOING 75 MPH WITH NO CONTROL OF STEERING DUE TO LOST OF POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART OF SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T RIGHT AWAY BUT AFTER ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES IT WILL RESTART. THIS IS ALSO TRUE OF PARKING LOTS AND CITY STREETS. WITH NO CODES OR ENGINE CHECK LIGHT TO REFER TO.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. I AM HAVING ISSUE FINDING MOPAR-OEM BELL CRANK PART# 53032456 AE. IF YOU GO TO THE DEALER IN ELK GROVE CA, THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER 270. OR ON THE MORPAR WEBSITE THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER TOO. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE TRUCK HAS ( ) WITH A LIGHTING VOLT. YOU LOOSE ALL POWER AND THE TRUCK STAYS AT HIGH IDLE ABOUT 1800 RPMS. DIFFICULT BRAKING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS.

PINION NUT ON REAR DIFFERENTIAL CAME OFF AND PINION FELL INTO DIFFERENTIAL CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS.

MY TRUCK DASH TOP PART STARTED CRACKING OUT, AT FIRST IT HAD JUST A SMALL CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW AFTER DRIVING FOR COUPLE WEEKS IN A DAILY BASIS (I DRIVE LESS THAN 30 MILES TOTAL PER DAY) IT JUST KEEPS CRACKING ALL OVER. I HAD BEFORE A 2001 DODGE RAM AND THIS HAPPEND TO IT ALSO, THAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE HOLES THROUGH IT.....
