  • 2006 DODGE RAM 2500
    - Waddell, AZ

    Our first issue with the LT 265/70R17 was in 2020. We had a defective front driver ( tread came completely off the tire) of a Dodge Ram 2500. Replaced it and bought another new one, both new in front now @Sam’s Club. Drove to CA. On the way home, back left tire (drivers side) EXPLODED !! on hwy.10. Lost control of the truck and went off into the center divider, the truck rolled over and was completely destroyed. My wife had a concussion and had to have shoulder surgery due to the roll over. She almost lost her life and I got a hernia from impact. Our dog ( STD. Poodle)was catapulted from backseat about 20ft. Everyone lived. We did all the right things. Tires were inflated correctly, drove speed limit, temp. 75, 9:00am. No traffic. DPS deemed it NO FAULT because the tread that had come off the tire had 10/32nds and was fine. What went wrong????

    At 30,000 had one blown head gasket and a few thousand miles later another blown head gasket. Regular maintenance and oil changes have been done and maintenance. Then last year my cam Shalf had to be replaced and now again a head gasket again. Several cylinders are missing firing. When I took in and they replaced the cam Shalf, I took it saw it said cylinder 5 was missing firing , now it’s showing cylinder 3 with all my lights on my dash on again and the car has 110,000 miles on it.

    - Wheaton, IL

    I took the vehicle in for recall last year and it would not work within 5 months and I saw a transmission warning something about tcm or tsm. I called the dealership and the mfg and both would not pay for the tow and the car sat in my parking lot over the winter. About 4 weeks ago , I jumped the car battery and placed it into drive and within maybe 5 feet it stopped in the middle of the parking lot and i saw a warning that said something like no gear found or detected. I turned off the car and turned it back on and safely put it into reverse and quickly back into the parking spot otherwise it would have been stuck in the middle of the parking lot . I restarted the car and saw the same no gear found or detected warning message on my dash and when i put the car in drive the car would not move into any gear . The car is completely inoperable and EXTREMELY UNSAFE and this is due to the SECOND recall that has NO CURRENT FIX. When i contacted the mfg about the two recalls last year, they said that the second recall has no fix and nothing they could do. i can not afford a tow and owe payments. I am reporting an unresolved safety recall (NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V-674, Manufacturer Recall Number: A0C) for my [year/make/model]. The recall was issued on October 9, 2025, and remains listed as “remedy not yet available.” My vehicle is now inoperable due to the defect identified in this recall, resulting in a complete loss of use. Despite the severity of this safety issue, the manufacturer has not provided a repair, interim solution, transportation assistance, or a timeline for when a remedy will be available. This represents an unreasonable delay in addressing a known safety defect, and I am being forced to go without a functioning vehicle because of it. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter and require the manufacturer to provide an immediate remedy or appropriate consumer relief. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS SEVERE ISSUE . I AND MY FAMILY ARE NOT SAFE IN THIS CAR

    - Racine, WI

    It’s July 7, 2025 driving the car to get to a work related visit. It’s a 14/15 mile drive from my home. I get to my destination. Coming back home about a minute on the road my vehicle begins to struggle as I accelerate to continue the speed limit of 35 mph. vehicle is struggling to maintain speed. Then the traction control light comes on the dashboard and subsequently the ABS light comes on. It’s an 80 degree day no rain. After 3 minutes the lights go away, I am driving very cautious, I’m not sure why the both lights came on. The lights come on a second time. When those lights come on the car did not want to drive. It felt as if the breaking system either kicked in or thinks it should. I started looking into what it could be with the help of father. We changed speed sensor and wheel bearing of the front right wheel tire. I had a friend run his own OBE reader and it had signaled the issues was coming from that. Took it for a test drive and at a green light both traction and ABS lights come on and I stuck there unable to accelerate. At this point traction control and ABS light come on and stay on for half the day. I’m no longer driving the car. I finally come to terms that I have to take it to a mechanic. I take it to Dealership in November 2025 they run the diagnostics on it and turns out the ABS module and Rear right tire sensor are the issue. At that point they informed me the ABS module is back ordered it may take a week to 2 weeks for the part to arrive. My car stays at the shop the part still has no ETA. On March 13 the dealer informs the part arrived and they fixed the vehicle. ABS module was very corroded per the service report. 3/29 the traction light comes on the dashboard stays on for a minute then leaves it continues throughout that week. A week later, ABS and traction light on. I go back to the dealership with my concerns. I’m informed the ABS module has water leaking inside, it was cleaned out. My thought are the ABS module can have manufacturing issue

    - Riverdale, MI

    I just bought a 2002 Dodge Grand caravan. I have noticed the seat belts do not lock when I installed the car seat and pulled the seat belt to lock the car seat in place it will not work which makes the car seat tip and fall every direction. I tried every seat in van to see if the lock and they do not unless the car is started if you pull it down fast it locks but not when it's off and will not stay locked. Speedometer and gas gage quit working.

    My car was stuck in drive. It would not shift into park. My father had to use the emergency switch under the hood to put it in park. A local dealership was contacted and parts have been ordered to fix the problem. The car has not been inspected. There were no warnings. I did not receive a recall notice in the mail.
