2005 Dodge Ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to unsatisfactory customer service at dealership. The consumer was unsuccessful at getting an appointment, to get the recall rectified. He was told to call back in three to four months to see if the part was available. Ultimately, he made an appointment at another dealership, which was further away. The consumer did not reference a specific recall.
Drivers side rear door lock is stuck in the locked position and will not open. Since it's the rear door there is no key hole to unlock the door. Door will not open with remote door opener either.
Have had numerous problems with tires. Separating on 3 tires out of set of 4. the next 4 tires developed bubbles and had to be replaced as well. Truck bounces down the road. Speed doesnt seem to be a factor but more obvious at higher speeds. Truck has stalled on me numerous times crossing railroad tracks which are very close to my house. I finally got the nut recall after numerous calls to dealer. I was told no parts. Finally it was done 2 weeks ago. While there I inquired about the airbag recall. I was told they werent aware of it, than they said we have to order parts. I was hoping the nut recall would solve the bounce issue it has not. I am afraid yet another set of tires will be yet a waste of more money I dont have, and still scared of what may happen when what is causing the bounce finally breaks. This is a 2005 Dodge 1500 quad cab 2 wheel drive vehicle I bought new. It replaced a Dodge sport quad cab 4X4 which was stolen, also bought new in 1998. I never bounced in my 4X4 which I would think would be a rougher ride. Brakes are also a issue. Front brakes to be exact. They go through them quick. At least 5 sets, some with rotors on a vehicle which just turned 80,000 miles. These are the heavy duty ones as well. I was hoping they would get better milage. Doesnt seem to matter.
Received a recall notice for rear axle pinion nut in Jan 2015. Dodge dealerships do not have the parts within 100 mile radius. Received another recall notice July 2015 still no parts available. Are they waiting for severe incidents to occur?

In March 2015 I received a letter stating that my truck had a recall involving the rear axle. As soon as I received this notice, I stopped driving my truck. My truck is my family's only means of transportation. Since I don't have another vehicle, I have been forced to borrow my parents and siblings vehicles. I even have been forced to take the bus. I feel that this recall should have been resolved already. Is there anything that can be done to help me with this situation? I do not feel comfortable driving my family or myself around in this vehicle. Thank you.

I was at the stop sign on the braga bridge in MA. I started to enter traffic when there was a loud bang and then a bunch of banging, I instantly stopped on the bridge just past the stop sign. I put the truck in park and shut off the engine, I jumped out of the truck but it began to roll back. I had my wife hold the break while I checked. The truck would roll backwards but not forwards. The drive shaft was lying on the ground. We had to wait for a tow truck to move the truck. A flat bed showed up and could not get the truck to roll forward. He then continued to upset me by dragging the truck onto the flat bed as it was the only way to move it.
It felt like the wheels locked down, and the rear end began to fishtail, causing uncontrollable swerving, resulting in the vehicle veering off of the road and rolling multiple times. Driver was my son.
The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that the driver was made aware that there was smoke emitted from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
The volume of air coming from my defroster is inadequate to keep the windshield clear from fog and frost. I have read several on line articles about this problem and it seems quite a few people are having the same issue. I live in California and could only imagine how someone living in a colder climate is dealing with this problem. This definitely can cause an unsafe condition by hampering your vision while driving.
I was driving down the road and the lsd rear differential of my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 completely locked up and the drive line separated from the rear differential. The shop that fixed it said that a retaining clip must have come loose and destroyed the entire rear differential. Good thing I was only going about 25 mph in a residential neighborhood and not 75mph on the freeway, or the outcome could have been life threatening. Updated 5/29/2015
While driving in city rush hour traffic, I experienced sudden unintended acceleration (wide open throttle) after taking my foot off the throttle pedal to slow down for a turn. The throttle remained stuck in full acceleration mode until I crashed into a traffic light pole.

I just bought a new 2005 Dodge magnum 1500 Ram long bed from the dealer in November 2005. After the second day of driving on the highway I noticed the truck vibrated a lot at around 65 mph. I returned the truck to get the tires balanced at the dealer and they said that tires needed no balancing and the shaking was fixed. The next day going to work the shaking started at around 63 mph and I returned to the dealer and test drove with mechanic and they balanced the tires. This time one tire was found unbalanced and was told that these truck shake at those speeds and when there is less than 300 pounds on the bed. I made another appointment so that they could do more tests and test drive. Same thing was said. They said everything was normal and nothing could be done and that I need to put 300 plus pounds on the bed to fix the problem. I called the 1-800 customer service for the manufacturer and they called the dealer and told me to go and make another appointment. I went to the dealer the next business day and the service department said that there was no need for any further appointment and there was nothing to be done as those long beds and model shake that way with less than 300 pound on the bed. I could not get another appointment or go on a test drive. At this point I think that is a safety issue because if you were to go on a long trip, and most highways and interstate have speeds of 60 and above, you would not be able to look through the mirrors to merge into lanes or see other cars if the truck is shaking. If you are driving to work and the passenger puts a drink in the cup holder, and you are on the highway, and if the drink spills because of the shaking would that cause a shortage and /or distraction. It would be a safety issue to have to load and unload the 300 plus pounds of whatever from the bed when you have to load plywood or anything that require the dimension of the bed.
2005 Dodge Ram 1500 developed a problem with the sensor in the driver's seat belt. The consumer was in the process of mounting a radio, and was bolting it down to the floor on the transmission hump in the front of the front seat. The next day, consumer drove the vehicle and the air bag light illuminated. The problem was that the sensor was in the front driver's seat belt. The consumer had inadvertently drove a sheet metal screw through the wire running to the driver's seat.
