2009 RAM 1500 Complaints

Driving home from the store the rear end locked up, sheared off my drive shaft. Caused a slight skid. There was a low hum when I let off the gas. I thought it was road noise. It got louder as I got closer to home. As I hit the brakes to turn into my neighborhood it was very loud. As soon as I turned and hit the accelerator I heard a loud noise and started to skid into the curb. There as a loud banging as my drive shaft spun and hit everything under my truck.

Took the truck in for tire rotation and was told they couldn't do it due to the rear frame being severely rusted out I have noticed this is a very common problem with this year truck in the same area mine is rusted out

The contact owns a 2009 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the front passenger’s side axle fractured and detached, which caused the front passenger’s side tire to detach. Additionally, the failure caused brake damage, and the front passenger’s side door would not open due to damage done to the fender. Prior to the failure, the front driver’s side axle also fractured and detached a year prior. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

K-17 recall. Chris Nikel CDJRF at 2920 N. Aspen Ave. Broken Arrrow, OK 74012, 918-806-4197, diagnosed that an actuator door is not functioning properly within the HVAC system on 10-5-21. Service Advisor 856 Dwayne Appeldorn told me that he can not obtain recall approval for Chrysler to cover the repair expense. On 10-6-21, I called the Chrysler Customer Service Center at 866-726-4636 and a Mercedes told me that Chrysler will not cover the expense of the repair. NHTSA has helped me with this same exact problem in the past by telling me that recalls are good for the life of the vehicle and original owner.

The exhaust manifold cracked. This allows toxic pre-catalitic converter fumes to be released under the vehicle and potentially enter the vehicle. I have been informed that this is a common issue on This generation truck. It has not been inspected by manufturer, police, or insurance. And this has caused no warning lamps or signals before or after issue arose.

I Just bought this car, i get a notice from DMV 2-recalls have not been fixed on this truck I am not driving it until it is repaired, i need to drive it soon for I have a son on a ventilator i need to drive to the Dr only. I am getting the run around with dodge called 5-dealers to hear all different stories why this cannot be taken care of. if i bring it to the local repair shop dodge should pay i need my vehicle

The odometer on 4th generation dodge will not go over 621,369 miles. This is a none problem which they refuse to fix. This vehicle has a unlimited power train warranty. Dodge refuses to fix the problem.

I was driving down road when I heard a clanking noise coming from back of truck. I was going about 26mph and I checked for warning lights and system info that shows Temps, but everything was showing normal. The noise got louder ,so I took foot off gas pedal, which then started getting a loud rubbing noise coming from wheels. Truck slowed down quickly. When I pressed gas pedal the clanking/grinding noise got louder. I was close to a 7-Eleven entry way,so I took foot off gas. I then heard a loud clanking (like metal dropped on pavement), so I turned to enter 7-Eleven area to get truck out of road . Truck turned into entrance and came to a dead stop. No of pedals were pushed, engine was in drive, and noise got louder. I turned off truck, cause of noise and dashboard had most lights on adif you were going to start engine. There were no red warnings or messages showing on dashboard. With engine off, I got out of truck and looked under my truck and the rear driveshaft was completely off sitting on road, and the rear transmission joint it connects to was dumping transmission fluid onto pavement. Fluid was bright green with nothing in it. The truck would not move, all 4 wheels were locked up. Me and several people tried pushing truck so the rear end was in roadway. Put truck would not move at all. If you turned key to put into neutral the clanking/grind noise would start again so shutdown engine. I called roadside assistance to come tow truck to dealership a few miles from where I was. Talking with others they said never seen something like this happen. Especially with the truck being '09, with only 58,505 miles. The dealership has a technician looking at it to see what parts it needs and to see what parts are discontinued. I told service rep. it was strange it came without a warning, she said it's a common problem, happens all the time. That's shocking, I had no control when driveshaft came off. I was turning, it jerked to a stop, messed up 3 ribs and hip.

I have had three separate mechanics diagnose my 2009 Dodge Pickup truck after reporting hearing a loud hum. All three mechanics diagnosed rear-wheel bearings failure. Also, the wheel bearing failure may have caused the rear differential to fail as well. To repair my vehicle will cost between $1500 and $4000. I have seen several reports online that this is a common problem and I would like to file a complaint the Dodge did not properly design the vehicle.
