2010 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

I HAVE HAD THIS 2010 DODGE RAM 2500 HD CREWCAB 4X4 FOR 3 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT USED AT 74000. SO FAR I HAVE HAD 3 ACTUATORS, TIE ROD, 3 DIFFERENTIAL SEALS, 1 TRANSMISSION SEAL, 1 REAREND SEAL, FULL HVAC CONTROL AND DUCT WORK WITH 2 HEATER CORES, 2 FRONT U-JOINT, AND NOW ALL THE BEARINGS IN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. AND EXTREME AMOUNT OF TIME, MONEY, AND TROUBLE OF NOT HAVING MY TRUCK INVESTED IN THIS. I NEED TO KNOW HOW MAY OTHER OF THIS MODEL OF TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING THIS TROUBLE. 99% HWY MILES, ONLY ABOUT 5% TOWING OR HAULING, NO OFF ROADING, VERY LITTLE LONG DISTANCE DRIVING. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR DRIVE TRAIN. IS YOUR DEFINITION THE STANDARD TERM FOR DRIVETRAIN?

HVAC SYSTEM TROUBLE. VERY LITTLE HEAT AND AIRFLOW ON DRIVERS SIDE OF VEHICLE. AC IS FINE. PASSENGER SIDE HAS FULL AIRFLOW AND HEAT. ACTUATORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND TESTED. DEALERSHIPS HAVE CHANGED HEATER CORE, BUT TROUBLE PERSISTS. NEW DEALER WANTS TO CHANGE HEATER CORE. ON GOING ISSUE. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS TROUBLE. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF BLEND DOOR PROBLEMS BUT SERVICE WILL NOT DIAGNOSE OR FIX. TROUBLE HAS BEEN ON GOING TO 3 YEARS. NEED RESOLUTION. STARTED WHEN ACTUATORS WERE CHANGED ON RECALL. DO NOT REMEMBER EXACT DATE.

I HAVE READ SOMEWHERE ELSE HTTP://WWW.DODGETALK.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=364235) THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE HAD. MY HEATED MIRRORS ARE STARTING TO BURN WHEN I USE THE HEATED MIRROR FUNCTION TO GET RID OF THE CONDENSATION. I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS A THERMAL REGULATOR SWITCH, OR A SAFETY THAT HAS BEEN ACTING UP, BUT THE HEAT FROM THE COIL ON THE BACK OF THE MIRROR IS STARTING TO DISCOLOR THE FACE OF THE MIRROR. I ATTACHED TWO PICTURES. THEY ARE OF THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR, AND IT IS ONLY STARTING ON THE BOTTOM. WHEN I NOTICED IT, I STOPPED USING THE HEATERS, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM AN NOT WORRY ABOUT THEM MAKING THE WHOLE MIRROR BROWN. I AM NOT SURE IF THERE NEEDS TO BE A TIMER ADDED, OR A THERMAL SAFETY SWITCH, OR WHAT, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. 2010 DODGE RAM 2500 HD DIESEL, ONLY PURCHASED APRIL/MAY 2015 WITH 52,000 MILES TOTAL.

WITH THE CURRENT RECALL GOING ON WITH THE DODGE RAM TIE ROD ISSUE. THE DEALERS ARE STILL WAITING ON PARTS. I'VE BEEN ON THE LIST FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND THE DEALER IS STILL STAYING THE SAME THING. DON'T NOW WHEN " DODGE " IS GONNA SEND US THE PART. WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL JANUARY 1 TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. AS YOU KNOW DODGE ISN'T PROVIDING THE PARTS AND THE BUYBACK IS A JOKE. THEY WON'T PAY SUFFICIENT FOR THE TRUCKS. THEY ONLY WANTED TO GIVE ME 19K FOR A 26K TRUCK. SO OBLIVIOUS THE BUYBACK ISN'T WORTH MY TROUBLE. ALL WE WON'T IS ARE TRUCK FIXED WHERE IT?S ROAD WORTHY. CAN YOU HELP WITH DODGE SLOW RECALL PARTS PROBLEM?

TIE ROD END RECALL WAS DONE AT DEALER WITH ABOUT 30000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. NOW AT 40000 IT IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS AGAIN DEALER SAID RECALL PART IS OUT OF WARRANTY. STEERING WHEEL PULSATES AT LOW SPEED TURNING IN PARKING LOT.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE TIE ROD END RECALL MAKING IT ELIGIBLE TO BE BOUGHT BACK BY DODGE. WHEN I TRIED TO SELL MY TRUCK BACK THE DEALER I DEALT WITH WAS GIVING ME A HARD TIME WHILE DOING SO. THE DEALER WAS TRYING TO ONLY OFFER ME TRADE IN VALUE FOR MY VEHICLE WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO OFFER ME A PREMIUM RATE. I WALKED OUT AND I AM STILL TRYING TO HAVE MY TRUCK BOUGHT BACK. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MORE HELP ON THIS SITUATION AND MORE INFORMATION AS TO THE ACTUAL PRICE DODGE SHOULD BE GIVING E

THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL FUNCTIONS. THIS OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED A HALEY AUTO GROUP (CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER) FOR A RECALL ITEM (P65/NHTSA 14V-635) AND BULLETIN ITEM (25-002-14). THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER SYSTEM DID NOT SHOW A CODE AS TO CAUSE ON EITHER OCCASION AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE INFORMATION WAS REPORTED TO DODGE FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND A CASE MANAGER ASSIGNED (CASE # 27675333), TO WHICH A RESOLUTION WAS NEVER REACHED. UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER PAYING HEFTY EXPENSES FOR EXPERIMENTAL PARTS THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED AND THE TRUCK WAS SOLD TO THE DEALERSHIP. I ACCEPTED AN OFFER AT A STEEP FINANCIAL LOSS TO MYSELF BECAUSE TO THE DANGEROUS SHUT DOWNS I HAD EXPERIENCED FIRST HAND WHILE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS NOW OFFERED FOR SALE BY THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE UNAWARE POTENTIAL BUYER! ALSO, I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER MOTORISTS IF THIS VEHICLE IS BACK OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DISCLOSED WHEN SELLING THIS VEHICLE AND REPORTED AS A SAFETY CONCERN.
