This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This truck body started breaking out behind the cab soon after I bought it. The engine has never ran right from day one. It was in the Dodge shop numerous times because of poor fuel milage, and then Dodge finally agreed to send the truck to cummins. Cummins found that truck had bad milage also and wrote letter to Dodge stating the problems they found. Dodge more or less said tough, don't bother us! the engine had boken push rod at low milage and now an injector melted top out of piston ruining the engine.
Consumer states while driving the vehicle 25mph. The spare tire from under the vehicle came undone states the cable cord that holds tire under the vehicle snap. Dealer notified.
I took the truck in for an engine warning light check. The dealer performed the fix and worked the 3 factory recall issues, including the electrical system ignition switch. The technician noticed that the ignition switch did overheat and melted the steering column plastic shroud. He also noticed a 2-3" section of the main wiring harness behind the fuse box with 2 wires that were burnt with the insulation completely burnt off. He was hesitant to drive the vehicle for fear of it starting a fire. The dealer notified me that the repair may cost $2000, and was not covered under warranty. Maybe a related issue, but the radio shorted out 2 days before the service call and the technician said there was no power to the fuse block. Is this issue (the main wiring harness repair/replacement) covered under the recall of the ignition switch, or should it be if there is evidence of major failure of the harness?
Sound pad to close to the exaust pipe header on 5.9 cum. Diesel engine. Brakes are very bad if you have to stop quick. Frount wheels lock up in normal braking on wet road and in hard stops with a load or trailer rear brakes are worthless. Trans mission lines rub together wearing holes in the in the lines
My truck is a two-tone truck with green being the primary color and a silver/gray being the secondary color. The silver/gray paint began bubbling and peeling approximately a year and a half ago. Since this time I have talked to and seen other trucks that this same color is doing the same. What do I need to do to get this fixed?
