I got into the cab of my truck and it smelled wet. I looked up at head liner and saw that it was water stained. I looked on dodgeramforum and saw that others had experienced this. Most suspected the third brake light above the rear windshield to be leaky. I removed the third light from my vehicle. It was wet and the bulb blown out. I stuck my hand into the space between the outer and inner shells of the cab and it was wet. I took the assembly to lodi cdjr, who told me the gasket was defective. They were selling the replacement assembly at $22.70 so that people could quickly make the repair. Recall? no. Somewhere I learned that several year models were affected, including my other vehicle, a 2014 Dodge Ram express. So I bought another replacement assembly to install on it. I asked if they would cover the cost. He said they would get back to me, but never did. A few weeks later, I opened the glove box of the 2012 truck and noticed that there was rust on some of my papers. I looked up into the glove box and saw rusted wires. I think the water drained from the top of the cab into the front of the firewall and soaked the circuitry. Cruise control, my passenger window, other things don't function properly at all times. I have not taken it in to be evaluated as I fear they might just make it worse. The new light assembly has stopped any further leakage. It does not appear that my 2014 sustained water damage due to the faulty light gasket. 2014 Dodge Ram express VIN: (xxxxx). I will file a separate complaint on this vehicle if you direct me to. But at this time I think I caught it before damage occurred. I reported this to Dodge customer assistance center, who assigned this reference number to it: 57938794. It is the same reference number on another complaint I have submitted to you: 11173399 parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Truck will randomly shut off, losing all power. It has happened while driving and while in park. When it happens during driving it has happened at all speeds. All power including lights and power steering is lost. Must turn ignition off and restart engine. Has became a major safety issue while on the road. Have taken it to a dealership that it was bought from but they could not pin point problem since it randomly happens
My 2012 Ram 1500 has a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment and it usually fades out after running the engine a little while. Also the the power door locks will not lock or unlock using the switch and the front passenger side window will not roll down. The air conditioner seems to run warm from time to time and has been filled a few times but no leaks were detected. These issues happened over a couple of years owning this truck. I purchased this truck with around 30,000 miles in 2013/2014 it now has 50,000 miles.

A/C evaporator coil went bad and released the freon inside the vehicle since this is in the dash area inside of the truck cab. The release was over time and was just repaired. Replacement of the evaporator coil, new freon, heater core (was suggested to replace due to the access and ease to replace an item that would go out next most likely) and the valve - A/C. my understanding is that there is no recall. Total cost was just under $2100.
NHTSA #17V-821 the Ram service centers are stating that Dodge has not sent out the parts and computer update to fix the recall. I called Dodge and they said around August 2018 but that can change. The service center received updates on the 2018 and 2017 models but nothing on the later models. I am concerned about this recall not being completed in a timely manner which could result in a death if truck comes out of gear and rolls. I have been calling every month since recall issued but still unable to get the issue fixed in a timely manner.
I received a letter about a recall from NHTSA about recall UO4/NHTSA 18V-160. The parts are not available for the fix. The letter gave me www.recalls.mopar.com tosign up for email or sms notifications for when remedy parts become available
Infamous hemi ticking; on cold start there's a pronounced ticking that goes away after about 15 min of running. Found exhaust manifold bolt had sheered; had it replaced with new bolts and gasket but the ticking is still there. Mechanics say there's nothing wrong with the vehicle however the ticking is ridiculously annoying. Read that it may be exhaust leak however, nothing can be found that needs repair. This has been going on for over a year now.
The truck stalls when slowing for a stop or idling around a corner. That is a safety issue because the steering and brakes are locked up at that point. Whether it's idling in a traffic jam, coming to a stop, or idling around the corner, you will suddenly have no power but everything else is on. Not the engine and it was so smooth that you don't notice until you can't brake or steer. There are hundreds of people with this year make and model that are having the same problem. I understand there was an investigation but it was closed without resolution. Case number EA05018. This is a growing problem and we the people are spending hundreds of dollars to replace parts that are just part of a trouble shooting issue and most of us still have the problem. And it's the same for all of us. Please relook at this problem. If I were the only one I could understand but I am not. We love our trucks but this is a serious problem. Last night I was in a double turn intersection when it shut off. Thankful I was in the outer lane and did not crash or hit the median. If you read on car complaints. Com under 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 stalls/shuts down while driving, you will see that this is a serious problem and there are loads of people. They think the repair fixes but it does not and the issue does not happen all the time. It started occasionally but now it's almost daily and multiple times a day. The truck and has progressively gotten worse. I have taken it to multiple repair shops and no one can figure out the problem since it is diffult to pinpoint when it will occur to show what the vehicle is actually doing. I've had to replace multiple parts to help resolve the issue to include a new starter from constant restarting in the neutral position while vehicle is still in motion. The vehicle is always in motion when it randomly stalls coming to a slow, idle or a turn especially.
My 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 is affected by the NHTSA recall 17V-821 (T79 manufacturer recall) I have had 2 instances of my truck coming out of park in the last month, I just found out about this recall online, Chrysler/Dodge/Ram has not notified me of the recall at all. I called Chrysler and the man I spoke to said there is no fix currently and it could be September or later before there is. This is dangerous and I want to know what I can do to give the truck back to the dealer or have the dealer buy it back as I dont find it safe to park the vehicle anywhere as it could roll and cause an accident.
Is a well known issue in social medial (youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=dqmulp2slwo&T=790S) that the 2011-2016 Dodge Ram 1500 will experience exhaust manifold bolt breakage due to the cast iron exhaust manifold and the aluminum heads having different heat displacement. The heat conducted by the cast iron exhaust manifold will eventually weaken the bolts causing them to break. The fact that Dodge has not acknowledge this problem is posing consumers to pay thousands of dollars to have these broken bolts extracted from the aluminum heads. I would like to file a claim so that this issue may be brought up for future class action lawsuits. I look forward to discussing the matter in further detail.
2012 Dodge Ram 1500 was in an accident sustaining moderate damage to the front end. Speed limit at the time of impact is estimated to be over 10 mph and the airbags didnt deploy nor are there any warnings lights. Based on the location of the damages and the frame shifted, shouldnt the airbags have deployed?
The win mod has an open circuit on it. The vehicle will not start and if it is started stalls out. I can be at a stop or in motion and loose all power to vehicle. Yesterday day 11/12/16 while in motion going 70 on the freeway I lost all power. There was a recall on these up to 2010. This problem part is a dealer only part ( and although the part is cheap the labor rate to fux this is terribly insane) so the consumer can't fix this safety hazard
