On 11/25/19 about 3 am the horn got stuck in the on position and nothing was labeled in the fuse box or manual (book) what is the solution? my truck has only 40,012 miles, I'm totally surprised about this problem, and I was considering buying another Dodge Ram truck!!!! track was parked
My 2011 mega cab 3500 was purchased in Nov of 2018 with only approx. 110K miles on odometer. After a short while of driving, a vibration started getting worse up until I took to a dealer at approx. 114K for a check on toe & alignment. It ended up being a total repair of upper & lower U-joints & ball joints. Also had to replace driver's mirror-had short, wiring harness on passenger headlight-had short, transmission shifter seal leaked, new pinion gear & seal, & few other items also. It seems like a diesel that has just started breaking in was falling apart on me before it's time. Needless to say, about 4 months or so after I made the purchase, I had to fork out a !!heap!! of $$$$$ for repairs that I couldn't recover. Funny thing is, before I bought the truck, another gentleman told me these years of Dodge trucks he had heard they were having a lot of front end trouble. I'm shocked there hasn't been a recall. It sure would be nice to be reimbursed.
The contact owns a 2015 (na) Dodge Ram 3500. The contact stated that the ABS warning light illuminated while driving and all the lights on the instrument panel illuminated. The transmission emitted a clicking sound and the vehicle reversed with the gear in drive position. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the computer codes were reset; however, the failure was not corrected. The dealer also test drove the vehicle and was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.
The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph, the engine stalled without warning and the contact began to smell something burning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the fuse block had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 3500. I was riding down the road and all the gauges started going crazy then suddenly I smell something electrical burning by this point nothing is working im just coasting to a stop. There was no smoke from the dash that was my first instinct I then open the hood and smoke is rolling out of the fuse box. I have a friend that has the same truck but a year older and this same problem has occurred on his vehicle two different times I then done some research and found that on copart which is a salvage auction and there are a very large amount of the Dodge trucks with the 6.7 liter cummins motor in them that the fuse box is just burnt up or in some cases has caused the entire vehicle to burn. I am just wondering why this has not been brought to attention and is my truck gonna burn down. And why will Dodge not cover a problem like this when it is clearly a known problem with their products.
