REAR DIFFERENTIAL/PINION FAILURE WHICH WAS REPLACED IN 2014 ACCORDING TO DODGE AND HAS FAILED AGAIN JANUARY 2018. LOUD NOISE IS HEARD FROM REAR OF TRUCK. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY MECHANIC, NOW DEALER WANTS TO VERIFY. ENGINE HAS HAD TO HAVE NEW CAMS PUT IN. ALSO HAS HAD FAILED EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. EXHAUST ASSEMBLY HAS A TENDENCY TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK FOR NO REASON. IT SEPARATES AND COMES APART.

LOUD THUMPING BEHIND DASH. HAVE HAD A/C AND HEAT ACTUATORS REPLACED 2X IN PAST 2 YEARS. RECALL K17 APPLIED AND PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE THERE IS NO HEAT AND DEFROSTERS DO NOT WORK IN THE WINTER WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 20 DEGREES. THUMPING BEHIND DASH OCCURS WHEN CAR IS STARTED, WHILE DRIVING, AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF.

MY TRUCK HAS ISSUES WITH ALL THE ACTUATORS FOR HEATING AND COOLING. IT DOES IT RIGHT WHEN U START IT UP, AND ALSO WHILE YOUR DRIVING. I CAN'T SWITCH FAN MODES, I HAVE NO DEFROST SINCE THEY WON'T SWITCH. THE ONE ACTUATOR THAT MIGHT BE WORKING STAYS CLICKING.

THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE FRONT STRAP FOR THE GAS TANK RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING THE STRAP TO FALL AND THE GAS TANK TO HANG DOWN OFF THE TRUCK. HAD THE BACK STRAP FAILED TOO IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ISSUES....UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF *JS

DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED PREMATURELY. LED TO WHEEL BEARING SLOT ON AXLE SHAFT TO WEAR CAUSING AXLE SHAFT DAMAGE. IF I HAD NOT CAUGHT THIS EARLY THE AXLE SHAFT MAY HAVE FAILED COMPLETELY RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE. FIRST NOTICED SIGNS OF DAMAGE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION

2010 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH 61,000 MILES WITH THE STEERING COLUMN BEARING FAILING- THROUGH RESEARCH OTHER 2010'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS POPPING, GRABBING AND CATCHING. CALLED MANUFACTURER THEY SAID OUT OF WARRANTY, NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY- STARTING TO FEEL DANGEROUS TO DRIVE

DODGE 5.7L HEMI ENGINES HAVE 2 COMMON, RECURRING ISSUES. 1) ENGINE LIFTERS FAIL PREMATURELY CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CAMSHAFT LOBES. THE END RESULT IS A COSTLY REPAIR HAVING TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTER. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND WILL THROW A P030# CODE FOR A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER(S). WHEN THE MISFIRE HAPPENS THE VEHICLE STARTS SHACKING HORRIBLY. I HAVE SEEN A REPORT THAT A 2016 WITH 15K MILES HAD THE ISSUE ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2009 WITH ONLY 72K MILES AND SEVERAL IN BETWEEN. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS, THREADS, AND COMMENTS ON THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS VERY COMMON AND DODGE SHOULD BE PROVIDING ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTIES. YET THEY CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING EXCEPT LOSE CUSTOMERS. 2) THE RECURRING EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING. MINE WAS REPAIRED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE ISSUE AGAIN. AGAIN DODGE SEEMS TO DO NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE MATERIALS TO PREVENT THE ISSUE FROM RECURRING.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK, BOLTS BREAK, CAUSING AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK, MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE THAT INCREASES WITH TIME.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTED TO THE ENGINE BLOCK IS LEAKING AT 75000 MILES, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THIS IS DUE TO BOLTS BREAKING OFF AT THE ENGINE BLOCK LEVEL. BOLTS ARE SHEARING INSIDE THE ENGINE HOLE THREADS. THIS IS A VERY DISTINCT AND REOCCURRING ISSUE PLAGUED BY EVERY DODGE RAM OWNER. PLEASE PERFORM A SEARCH AT GOOGLE (OR ANY OTHER ENGINE), KEYWORDS "DODGE RAM EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK" (HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?Q=DODGE+RAM+EXHAUST+MANIFOLD+LEAK&OQ=DODGE+RAM). THERE IS A VERY LOUD DISTINCT TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE ENGINE MANIFOLD. AFTER 30-60 SECONDS IT ALMOST DISAPPEARS; SIMILAR TO ANY OTHER VIDEO OR COMPLAINT FOUND ON THE WWW. SOME HAVE CALLED THEIR DODGE DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AND EVEN THE DEALERS ARE RECOGNIZING THAT IT IS A FLAW BUT A RECALL WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT CAUSING 6000$ OF DAMAGE. INVESTIGATION RE REVILED A RECALL BECAUSE THE NUT THAT HOLD THE SHAFT IN WAS COMING LOOSE CAUSING IT TO FALL. UPON GETTING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE RECALL HAD BEEN FIXED IN 2014. THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL WAS NOT IN PLACE BUT CLAIM THAT BETWEEN THE RECALL BEING DONE AND THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE REMEDY COULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND THIS ID THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD.

THIS TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR IF YOU JIGGLE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION AT LOW AND HIGH SPEED SHUT-OFFS. THE REPAIR REQUIRED THE WIN MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE WIN MODULE REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED ON ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE RAM 1500S, BUT NOT THIS ONE. THE WIN MODULE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL DODGE RAM UNITS. ALSO, THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS PART OF A RECALL ON 2009 DODGE JOURNEYS. THE SHUTOFF PROBLEM SPANS SEVERAL DODGE MODELS WITH THIS TYPE OF IGNITION. I WILL BE SUBMITTING A SECOND COMPLAINT FOR ANOTHER 2010 DODGE RAM WITH THE SAME SAFETY SHUT-OFF PROBLEM..

EXACTLY THE SAME AS NHTSA RECALL REFERENCE #10V200000. THIS VEHICLE SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE THE MATCHING PART NUMBERS OF THE RECALL.

ONLY PUT 30,000 MILES ON THIS DODGE RAM SENCE I GOT IT AND THE REAR PINION SEAL WAS LEAKING, GOT IT REPLACED AND NOW IT IS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE SO LOAD I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID IT HAS LOTS OF SHAVINGS INSIDE THE REAR END. AFRAID IT WILL LOCK UP AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY?

DURING FUEL FILL GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT THE FUEL TANK AFTER THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. THIS LEAVES A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND IF I WAS STANDING NEAR THE NOZZLE I WOULD BE FULL OF GAS ON MY CLOTHING. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP NO MATTER THE GAS STATION. SEEN DOZENS OF ON-LINE INFORMATION INCLUDING YOU TUBE VIDEOS OF EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER SAME YEAR MODEL TRUCKS.
