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.
The heater core in this model with the Cummins motor and of those around the same year plug constantly. I have to flush mine every couple of weeks in cold weather otherwise it will not keep moister off of the inside windows including the windshield as it just blows frigid air. A complete repair is $2,400+ and it will continue to plug even after the repair. It's common to need to frequently pull off of the highway and wipe down the inside glass to keep the windows clear.
I HAVE 27 OPEN RECALLS, the steering wheel knuckle just keeps getting looser, nothing on the column will tighten, my wipers short out, I was sold a Omission deleted truck with documentation the day of purchase it was omission deleted, I was never told this vehicle was unsafe, The manufacture wants me to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket for them to see if it maybe safe enough. Both Chysler, and the certified dealership of ford refuse to take any accountability or action
Vehicle windshield wipers malfunctioned and will not turn off, kills vehicle battery. Wipers do not function with fuse removed to prevent battery from draining, and windshield from being damaged, cannot safely drive vehicle in rain. Truck is now not safe to drive, cannot obtain inspection sticker, and Ram cannot provide a replacement part to fix the vehicle. Part has been on back order for 3 months and will not provide a rental. I am being forced by Ram to drive a vehicle, with my family, that is not safe, and illegally because I cannot obtain an inspection sticker and my registration will be revoked soon. Truck was never repaired and dealer (artioli Dodge/Ram) closed repair order without completing the repair.
