    I purchased my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 truck around May 2022 at a used car lot. It had low mileage so I thought I did great. Immediately after I brought it home, it began to die. I figured it had a really old battery so I purchased a new one. This one would last around 3 days instead of the one day before dying. I would drive it and jump it over and over. I tried to contact the dealer over and over but they would not respond to my calls. I wrote a terrible review about them in Yelp and they contacted me immediately, but when I attempted to schedule a time to drop the truck back off, they stopped responding again. About 9 months later the truck stopped turning over all together. We found that the fuel pump was the issue. It sat for a year until I had it towed to the mechanic, who fixed the fuel pump, but found that the car would only run for a few seconds. He continued to diagnose it, and after weeks, he tells me that there is something terribly faulty with the electrical system, but he is stumped as to what it is. He says he does not see where anyone has tampered with the system at all, but there is something mysterious about the electrical component. I have put so much money into this truck including having to pay insurance and a high monthly payment for a dead truck. Please help me. I can provide documents after I meet with mechanic who still has truck.

    I purchased my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 truck around May 2022 at a used car lot. It had low mileage so I thought I did great. Immediately after I brought it home, it began to die. I figured it had a really old battery so I purchased a new one. This one would last around 3 days instead of the one day before dying. I would drive it and jump it over and over. I tried to contact the dealer over and over but they would not respond to my calls. I wrote a terrible review about them in Yelp and they contacted me immediately, but when I attempted to schedule a time to drop the truck back off, they stopped responding again. About 9 months later the truck stopped turning over all together. We found that the fuel pump was the issue. It sat for a year until I had it towed to the mechanic, who fixed the fuel pump, but found that the car would only run for a few seconds. He continued to diagnose it, and after weeks, he tells me that there is something terribly faulty with the electrical system, but he is stumped as to what it is. He says he does not see where anyone has tampered with the system at all, but there is something mysterious about the electrical component. I have put so much money into this truck including having to pay insurance and a high monthly payment for a dead truck. Please help me. I can provide documents after I meet with mechanic who still has truck.

    I RECEIVED A FRANTIC PHONE CALL FROM MY SON STATING HIS TRUCK DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AT THIS TIME HE COULDN'T START THE VEHICLE AND THE AREA WAS PITCH BLACK AND HE WAS ON A BLIND CURVE. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HOME AT APPROX. 10:00 P.M. ON THE WINDING, DARK, MOUNTAIN ROADS OF OUR COMMUNITY. HE WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 DODGE RAM HEMI 5.7 LITRE PICKUP. THIS PICKUP HAS VERY FEW MILES ON IT FOR IT'S YEAR. AS HE CAME INTO A CORNER AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND BEGAN TO NAVIGATE HIS TURN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED LEAVING HIM WITH NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING AND NO ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND HE WAS NOT ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE TURN AND COULD NOT USE THE BREAKS AT THAT POINT. HE WAS ON A DARK ROAD AT THE BACK SIDE OF A BLIND TURN WITH NO POWER AND NO BRAKES. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES HE WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE SEVERAL MINUTES IT TOOK HIM TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE FIRST WAS ON A COUNTRY WINDING ROAD WITH LESS TRAFFIC AND AT A LOWER RATE OF SPEED. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED, IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING DODGE / CHRYSLER 5.7 ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THESE EXACT SPECIFICATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. WHEN ARE WE, THE CONSUMERS, GOING TO GET RESULTS? WILL IT BE AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED AND THEIR FAMILY IS FORCED TO SUE DODGE BEFORE THEY WILL ADMIT THE ONGOING PROBLEM?

    I LIVE IN WISCONSIN WHERE WE EXPERIENCE EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES, AND WITH WINTER TEMPERATURES OFTEN BELOW ZERO, THE OCCUPANTS NEED TO BE WARM TO BE SAFE. THE SAFETY OF DRIVER AND FAMILIES DEPENDS ON THE PROPER WORKING ORDER OF HEATER IN THESE CONDITIONS. THE HEATER BLENDER DOOR IS APPARENTLY STUCK TO THE OPEN POSITION ALLOWING FRIDGE COLD OUTSIDE AIR TO BE BLOWN INTO THE CAB IN THE FOOT AREA. AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR TO OUR DESTINATION THE DRIVER AND THE OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT SEAT NO LONGER CAN FEEL THEIR FEET BECAUSE OF BEING SO COLD. "HOW CAN PROPER ACCELERATION AND BRAKING BE APPLIED WHEN THE OPERATORS FEET ARE FROZEN?". THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND A HEALTH HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE FROST BITE, BECAUSE THE COLD AIR CAN'T BE DIVERTED OR SHUT OFF. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN NUMEROUS MODELS AND YEARS OF DODGE VEHICLES. THE AVERAGE COST OF THE FIX IS 1000.00 TO 1500.00 BECAUSE THE DASH NEEDS TO BE PULLED OUT. I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH THIS ISSUE HAS GENERATED IN AUTO REPAIRS, DO TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. I EVEN SPOKE TO [name removed] WHILE WAITING AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS GETTING IT FIXED. THIS COSTLY/ COMMON REPAIR, IF NOT FIXED CAN EFFECT THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE OPERATORS GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. JUDGING BY THE COMMENTS ON-LINE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

    ON THE WAY BACK TO BUFFALO MISSOURI AT APPROXIMATELY 4:30PM ( TRAVELING 65MPH), THE RIGHT REAR TIRE STARTED TO MAKE A VERY LOUD WINDING SOUND AND SHAKE. I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY (55MPH) AND THE TIRE BLEW OUT THE SIDEWALL, CAUSING MY TRUCK TO SEVERELY FISH TAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TWO LANE ROAD, NARROWLY MISSING ON-COMING TRAFFIC. ON SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2017 I TOOK MY TRUCK AND BLOWN OUT TIRE TO JBC TIRE AND AUTOMOTIVE (AUTHORIZED DEALER OF COOPER TIRES). JOSH MOUTREY WAS THE MANAGER ON DUTY. I INFORMED OF THE BLOW OUT.

AFTER THE INSPECTION ON THE BLOW OUT AND THE OTHER TIRES, JOSH STATED THAT THE TREAD ON THE THREE REMAINING TIRES HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR (LF HI:5, LOW:4; RF HI:5, LOW:4; LR HI: 5, LOW:4).

  • Filed Sep 2020

    I PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP IN NOVEMBER 2008. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF, HOWEVER THE REAR FENDERS ARE RUSTING OUT. THE RUST IS SPREADING AND GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. THE EXCESSIVE RUSTING HAS SPREAD TO BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK ON THE LOWER DOOR PANELS. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE BODY SHOP MANAGER AT A DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINEERING FLAW THAT IS CAUSING THIS MODEL YEAR TO RUST THROUGH. I DO NOT BELIEVE REPAIRING THE RUST DAMAGE IS MY FINANCIAL BURDEN TO BEAR WHEN THE REASON FOR THE RUST IS THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS THAT ALL OF THE LUG NUTS HAVE MOISTURE INSIDE OF THEM THAT IS CAUSING THEM TO SWELL. THEREFORE WHEN GOING TO TAKE ANY OF THE TIRES OFF, I AM UNABLE TO USE THE CORRECT SIZE SOCKET TOOL. THE APPROXIMATE COST TO REPLACE ALL OF THE LUG NUTS IS $250, ALL OF WHICH IS DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION ANOTHER COSTLY REPAIR WAS REQUIRED AT ONLY 90,000 WHEN THE ENGINE HEAD WAS FOUND TO BE WARPED/OUT OF TOLERANCE, WHICH RESULTED IN CYLINDERS MISFIRING. I HAD TO PAY ~$5,000 TO HAVE A MECHANIC IN MY AREA REPAIR THIS ISSUE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. OVERALL, WITH A TRUCK THAT HAS 96,000 MILES AND IS ONLY 13 YEARS OLD, THERE HAS BEEN AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ISSUES AND MONEY SPENT ON FIXING PROBLEMS THAT DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM ME, BUT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ACTION TAKEN ON THE EXPENSIVE RUST PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING THAT DRASTICALLY LOWERS THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURING/ENGINEERING FLAW.

    I RECEIVED A FRANTIC PHONE CALL FROM MY SON STATING HIS TRUCK DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AT THIS TIME HE COULDN'T START THE VEHICLE AND THE AREA WAS PITCH BLACK AND HE WAS ON A BLIND CURVE. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HOME AT APPROX. 10:00 P.M. ON THE WINDING, DARK, MOUNTAIN ROADS OF OUR COMMUNITY. HE WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 DODGE RAM HEMI 5.7 LITRE PICKUP. THIS PICKUP HAS VERY FEW MILES ON IT FOR IT'S YEAR. AS HE CAME INTO A CORNER AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND BEGAN TO NAVIGATE HIS TURN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED LEAVING HIM WITH NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING AND NO ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND HE WAS NOT ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE TURN AND COULD NOT USE THE BREAKS AT THAT POINT. HE WAS ON A DARK ROAD AT THE BACK SIDE OF A BLIND TURN WITH NO POWER AND NO BRAKES. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES HE WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE SEVERAL MINUTES IT TOOK HIM TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE FIRST WAS ON A COUNTRY WINDING ROAD WITH LESS TRAFFIC AND AT A LOWER RATE OF SPEED. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED, IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING DODGE / CHRYSLER 5.7 ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THESE EXACT SPECIFICATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. WHEN ARE WE, THE CONSUMERS, GOING TO GET RESULTS? WILL IT BE AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED AND THEIR FAMILY IS FORCED TO SUE DODGE BEFORE THEY WILL ADMIT THE ONGOING PROBLEM? AS I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM I LITERALLY FOUND THOUSANDS OF FORUMS DEDICATED TO THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND OVER 100 PLUS WEBSITES FROM CONSUMERS WARNING OTHERS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THEM. I EVEN FOUND FLEET MECHANICS FROM DODGE CHIMING IN ON FORUMS STATING THAT DODGE KNOWS OF THE ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. I AM ASKING THAT THE NHTSA TAKE HEED AND FORCE DODGE / CHRYSLER TO DO THE ETHICAL THING AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AN INNOCENT LIFE IS TAKEN. *TR
