But dodge refused stating I should have brought it to them.I supplied the work order and credit card receipt for proof of payment. Which is what they ask for.then they asked for a total break down of the repairs. And also stated that the recall wasn't responsible for the driveshaft snapping. I asked them how they could say that without seeing my truck. When they refused. I then asked them if I could bring it in so they can check it out and I could clear the recall.

    On Feb. 20, 2023 my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 was worked to have a repair for the AirBag Recall. I spoke with someone at JT's Dodge to set up the appointment PRIOR to 2-20-23 and was NEVER verbally informed that there was a posed risk of my dash being cracked and so I set up the appointment. I tried to update my information BUT the young lady on the other end REFUSED to update it stating I've been there before in the past. MY TWO listed phone numbers are correct (over 10 years) and my address reflected was not updated to my new home address. On the day of Feb. 20, 2023 I sent my son-in-law to take my truck to have the recalled air bag repaired, which he did. He reports being told in a non urgent, very vague manner that there's a possibility of the dash cracking and per the Service Manager "it doesn't happen very often but we have to tell you". My son-in-law signed the paperwork to have the airbag repaired. I was gravely ill and unable to take it myself or I would have. He signed the form; the service manager took photos showing there was NOT any cracks prior to the work being done and other photos showing a crack after the work had been done. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED at either working phone number listed on file. When I finally reached someone several days later they showed no concern. I now have an 8.5 inch crack in my dash putting myself and passengers at SAFTY RISK. POTENTIAL RISKS: My airbag is NOT properly pressurized, a delay with or the airbag not deploying at all if involved in a MVC/MVA, possibility of the airbag deploying WITHOUT being involved in a MVC/MVA and over time the crack could become larger/longer allowing dirt particles to get into the crack causing electrical problems or a malfunctioning airbag sensor. WHICH places myself and passengers in great danger at any moment. Apparently this is a known (uncared about) issue as reported by Dodge who has DISCONTINUED the dash saying it is "OBSOLETE", refusing to offer repairs or replacement, resolution.

    Significantly rusted out truck bed framing. I purchased the truck from a private seller a couple of years ago, and the bed had a rubber mat and plastic side panels in the bed. I was unaware of what was underneath at that time. On 06/28/2023, I removed the rubber mat, and side plastic panels to reveal major rusting with the truck bed. The bed is at major risk of separating from the frame. If this issue is not resolved, the truck bed will experience separation from the truck frame; causing the bed to separate at highway speeds, causing property damage, injuries, or even death. Upon searching for a good used bed from salvage yards, none exist that are in good condition in a 500 mile search radius and/or they are $800.00 to multiple thousands in cost to obtain. Multiple beds on the search have major rusting/wasting of the bed frame as well. This should constitute a major safety defect with poor rust proofing.

    Pulled in driveway and without warning the rear gas tank strap broke due to corrosion, which left my gas tank hanging about 2 inches off the ground. Thankfully this did not happen when I was on the highway. The tank drop could have made contact with the road surface which could abrade the tank, create a hole from which gasoline can spill and cause a fire hazard, accidents with other vehicles, bodily injury and possibly death. We replaced the straps but felt it was important to make this report due to us finding recalls on gas straps for other Dodge Ram trucks. I feel there should be a mandatory check and replace notice on these gas straps.

    This aftermarket throttle body was on the truck when I purchased it 4 months ago. I live in Georgia and bought the car in Florida. In driving it home 400 miles, I noticed in stop and go traffic, the throttle was sticking. It would stick between 1500-2500 RPM with the clutch engaged (vehicle not in gear). I also noticed when I let off the throttle, I would continue my speed or even accelerate versus slowing down. I contacted BBK and they told me to ship it to them to be repaired, but that means I would be without my vehicle for weeks. Then I ask about this in a Facebook group and it appears this is a common, known issue. Even people who have bought a "reconditioned" throttle body from BBK have this same issue.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND I DIDN'T NOTICE IF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON OR OFF. THE TRUCK DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT. APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK LATER, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE @ 70MPH. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF. I PULLED INTO THE PASSING LANE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED AND THE PEDAL SEEMED TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES, BUT COULD NOT DISENGAGE IT.

    THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED CAUSING IT TO BE STUCK IN THE "LOCKED" POSITION. USING THE KEY FOB AND MANUALLY TURNING THE KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK HAD NO EFFECT ON THE MECHANISM. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR WAS BY ENTERING THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE. UPON OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE BY USE OF THE DOOR HANDLE THE HANDLE BECAME STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION AND HAD TO BE PUSHED BACK TO ITS DEFAULT SETTING. THE LOCK MAKES A VERY LOUD "PANG" NOISE NOW WHEN LOCKING AS IF METAL ON METAL CONTACT IS BEING MADE. *TR

    THE TRUCK WILL START SURGING BETWEEN 30 -65 MPH AND THE ENGINE WILL FAIL CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. WHILE IDLING THE ENGINE WILL REV UP TO 3000 RPM UP AND DOWN AND WILL ALSO DO THIS WHILE IN DRIVE. WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT THE TRUCK WILL SURGE FORWARD LIKE THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND I HAVE ALMOST HIT NUMEROUS CARS IN FRONT OF ME MANY DIFFERENT TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND REPLACED, EGR VALVE REPLACED, AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL REPLACED BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP. ON AVERAGE, THIS PROBLEM OCCURS 5-8 TIMES A WEEK. TO THIS DAY THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS (7/29/2010). *TR

    I HAVE A 05 DODGE RAM AND I SNAPPED MY AXLE FOR THE SECOND TIME! THE FIRST TIME I DID IT I SLID INTO A CURB AND SNAPPED THE END OF MY AXLE CLEAN OFF WITH THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM STILL ATTACHED TO RIM AND TIRE WHICH WAS COMPLETELY INTACT. ALL HIT HAD DAMAGED ON IT WAS A SCRATCH ON THE RIM. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FREAK ACCIDENT SO I TOOK CARE OF IT MYSELF AND PURCHASED THE SAME EXACT AXLE. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON A FLAT DIRT ROAD AT ABOUT THIRTY MILES PER HOUR WHEN A COYOTE RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME. TO DODGE IT I SWIRVED INTO A DRY UP MUD RUT WHICH IS USUALLY NO BIG DEAL TO DRIVE INTO BUT WHEN I WENT INTO IT MY TRUCK QUICKLY TURNED SIDEWAYS THEN WHIPPED ME BACK AROUND IN THE DIRECTION I WAS HEADING IN. I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND SAW THAT MY DRIVER SIDE WHEEL RIPPED COMPLETELY OFF! I WENT AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SAW THAT MY AXLE WAS SNAPPED IN THE EXACT SAME WAY THAT I DID IT THE FIRST TIME! LIKE SOMEBODY CUT IT OFF WITH A KNIFE! I WAS FURIOUS TO SEE THIS SO THAT NEXT WEED I CALLED DODGE AND COMPLAINED BECAUSE ONE TIME IS A FREAK ACCIDENT BUT TWO. THE MAN TOLD ME HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF AN AXLE BREAKING AND THAT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN AND MY WARRANTY SHOULD COVER IT. DODGE SENT OUT A WARRANTY ADJUSTER TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE AND AFTER THAT I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL SAYING THAT THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY IT BECAUCE THE DAMAGE WAS DO TO IMPACT. I RESEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND DAIMLERCHRYSLERVEHICLEPROBLEMS.COM AND SAW ALOT OF BAD INFO ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I EVEN SAW A VIDEO OF MY EXACT SAME TRUCK WITH ITS AXLE SNAPPED JUST LIKE MINE WAS! I ALSO READ THAT DODGE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THERE AXLES SHEARING/HUBS SEPERATING CAUSING WHEELS TO FALL OFF! CHRYSLER LIED TO ME SAYING THAT THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF AXLES BRAKING WHEN IT CLEARLY SHOWS ON THAT WEBSITE THAT THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND DO NOTHING ABOUT AND REFUSE TO FIX THERE BROKEN PRODUCTS. THESE VEHICLES ARE DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT. ITS BEEN A MONTH AND MY KNEE IS STILL SWOLLEN. *TR

    VEHICLE IS STALLING AND LOSING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, VERY HARD TO STEER VEHICLE. OCCURS USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS, WHILE TURNING OR JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. I HAVE TO PLACE MY VEHICLE IN PARK & RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE I WAS TURNING IN TRAFFIC & NEARLY COLLIDED WITH OTHER VEHICLES WITH 3 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE REQUESTED FOR THIS TO BE DIAGNOSED AND RESEARCHED SEVERAL TIMES BY MECHANICS, BUT THE DEFECT HAS NEVER BEEN DUPLICATED, RESULTED IN A DIAGNOSIS, OR RESOLVED BY A MECHANIC. IT RANDOMLY OCCURS AND JUST OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY IN TRAFFIC, WHILE TURNING LEFT ON AN INSIDE LANE. I HAD CARS BEHIND AND NEXT TO ME. I HAD TO COME TO A SLOW STOP, BUT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO REMAIN IN MY LANE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THIS CAN RESULT IN A POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT AND WANT TO REPORT THIS IMMEDIATELY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ASIDE FROM SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL AT THIS POINT. *TR

    2005 DODGE RAM 1500 P/U TRUCK BOUGHT NEW IN 12/2005...BROUGHT TO DEALER @ 5,655 MILES WITH WARPED ROTORS, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SHAKE WHEN BRAKING. BRAKE ROTORS WERE CUT...PROBLEM TEMPORARILY SOLVED. RETURNED TO DEALER @ 9,712 MILES....FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED...BUT THE ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS WERE RE-INSTALLED. AT 17,000 MILES....TRUCKS BEGINS TO SHAKE AGAIN WHILE BRAKING... RETURNED TO THE SAME DEALER @ 20,727 MILES...THEY SAID THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED AGAIN...THOUGH IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER I EXPRESSED UNHAPPINESS WITH THEIR ANSWER, THEY DID TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THE FRONT SEEMED TO BE OK....AND NOW THE REAR ROTORS WERE WARPED, THOUGH OF COURSE IT IS NOT COVERED ANY LONGER BY THE FACTORY WARRANTY. AT THIS POINT, THE TRUCK IS 15 MONTHS OLD...HAS SLIGHTLY OVER 20,000 MILES AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE...WITH NO HELP FROM DODGE. *JB

    IN A 2005 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB PICKUP THE REAR OVER-THE-SHOULDER SEATBELTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE RIGHT REAR BUCKLE BROKE AND I HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THINKING NOTHING OF IT. IT WAS REPLACED IN APRIL OR MAY THIS YEAR. I HAVE A CHILD SEAT IN THE CENTER REAR SEAT, USING THE SEATBELT AS THE RESTRAINT. UPON BRAKING TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER DRIVER WHO CUTS ME OFF, I HEARD THE SOUNDS OF CRACKING AND BREAKING OF PLASTIC. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING UNTIL LATER WHEN I NOTICED THE CHILD SEAT A LITTLE LOOSE. AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION, THE PLASTIC ON THE LAP BELT BUCKLE WAS SHATTERED. I TRIED TIGHTENING IT UP BUT IT WILL NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS HAPPENED LATER LAST MONTH FOR THE THIRD TIME, THIS TIME TO THE LEFT REAR WHEN A PASSENGER JUST WENT TO RE-POSITION HERSELF. SHE WAS ONLY 80 SOME POUNDS!! THE CONSEQUENCES ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE BRITTLE HARD PLASTIC PIECE ON THE BUCKLE PREVENTS THE LAP SECTION TO TIGHTEN CORRECTLY. UNLESS THE WHOLE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY IS REPLACED, JUST TO FIX A BROKEN PIECE OF BRITTLE PLASTIC, THE SEATBELT IS USELESS. A PASSENGER COULD EASILY SLIDE OUT FROM UNDER THE BELT IN A FRONTAL IMPACT COLLISION. WHAT WAS DONE: I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION IN DETROIT. A CUSTOMER REP STATED HE WOULD CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO RECOMMEND NOT CHARGING LABOR FEES JUST TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY BROKEN, AND THE DEALER WAS TO CONTACT ME IN RETURN WITH AN APPOINTMENT. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. I NEEDED THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO FAX TO CHRYSLER TO REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE REPLACEMENT COSTS. I AM LOOKING OUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE 2 REMAINDER BROKEN BELTS INSTALLED. IT IS EVIDENT THAT CHRYSLER OBVIOUSLY REALIZED THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW JEEP WRANGLER 4-DOOR. ALL SIX SEATBELTS ARE MADE OF THE SAME DURABLE RUBBERY SUBSTANCE THAT THE ONES IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY DODGE RAM ARE MADE OF. THIS IS THE WAY THEY ALL SHOULD BE. *TR
