2007 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

DRIVING THROUGH TOWN, CLEAR WEATHER, GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS, LUCKILY GOING ONLY 25 MPH, THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE UP FRONT FOR TWO SECONDS THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE TIRES SKIDDED APPROXIMATELY 5 FEET. THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FINE BUT THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE! THE TRUCK HAD TO BE DRAGGED ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS DEEMED THIS A WEAR AND TEAR INCIDENT, WHICH I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH. HAD I BEEN GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I AM CONVINCED I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL AND/OR MUCH MORE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. THEY WANT $1,800 FOR THIS REPAIR! I JUST HAD THE DRIVELINE SERVICED 6,000 MILES PRIOR TO THIS! AND BEFORE THAT AT 60,000 MILES. I KEEP MY TRUCK MAINTAINED TO THE BOOK. IT CANNOT BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR! THIS TRUCK IS PAMPERED AND NOT USED COMMERCIALLY NOR NEVER UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS ABOVE AND BEYOND TOWING A 7500 POUND CAMPER. THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY REBUILDING THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL! I'M ALMOST AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT. I ESPECIALLY WORRY FOR MY WIFE AND TEENAGE SON IF SOMETHING THIS SEVERE AND ABRUPT SHOULD OCCUR WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING IT IN THE FUTURE! *TR

TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY DURING HEAVY RAIN STORM AND THE PASSENGER WIPER LINKAGE FELL OFF AT THE WIPER BLADE ROTATING JOINT ,THIS CAUSED THE PASSENGER WIPER BLADE TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER BLADE AND CAUSED BOTH TO STOP WORKING.THEY BECAME TANGLED TOGETHER.I CAN HOME AND RESEARCHED IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON MANY DODGE TRUCKS. THANK THE ALMIGHTY THAT IT HAPPENED AT 3AM ,ON MY WAY TO WORK,WITH BARLEY ANY TRAFFIC.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHO PRECEDED TO TELL ME THAT IT DID NOT APPLY TO MY TRUCK , SO WHEN MY 16 YEAR LEFT THE DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS LATER SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND SHE HEARD A SNAP AND LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND HIT A GUARDRAIL AND WRECKED, IF NOT FOR THE GUARDRAIL SHE WOULD HAVE WENT DOWN A SIX FT EMBANKMENT AND BEEN INJURED. SHE HAD JUST DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND IF SHE HAD BEEN ON IT SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DIED. I DO NOT APPRECIATE THE DEALER PUTTING MY DAUGHTER IN THIS KIND OF DANGER, WHEN I CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THIS THEY SAID WELL, WE ARE ONLY SENT 1 EVERY 7 DAYS AND THEY ARE 30 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOU. THIS EXCUSE IS UNACCEPTABLE AND MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAD TO PAY 933.00 FOR REPAIRS AND I EXPECT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THESE REPAIRS. *TR
