“Purchased our truck in june of 2010 from a local Dodge dealer. The truck only had 23k and seemed to run okay besides getting crap gas mileage. In late october 2011 the check engine light came on but when we started it up the next morning the light was no longer illuminated.the light stayed off for about two weeks but then the vehicle started running poorly. It would randomly lose power when beginning to accelerate and make a sound almost like a backfire. …”
NHTSA complaint #10533465, filed 2013-08, 34,000 miles“When this diesel truck cleans it s particulate filter I get a strong fuel smell odor in the cab when stopped at a stop light or stop sign. This cleaning of the d.p.r. Filter happens every 100 or so miles driven and last for about 20 miles. When the odor occurs my eyes burn, and I cough alot. So far the Dodge dealers are unable to fix my problem. I have taken the pick up truck to two different dealers trying to get relief from this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10422435, filed 2011-08, 42,000 miles“The vehicle is stationary at a gas station. Tank is low and while filling it up the hose nozzle clicks off and gas spews from around nozzle with much force. I have tried this at several stations with the same result. I found a warranty extension through chrysler the number is x49 extended warranty- fuel tank inlet check valve 2007 - 2008 ram 1500, but they say it does not apply to my vehicle as VIN is not covered. I have seen several descriptions and complaints from public about gas spilling on vehicles and onto customers so it is a known problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10881571, filed 2016-06, 99,318 miles“Tipm (total integrated power module) failed while driving vehicle. Vehicle lost engine power, power steering, and brakes. -ton trucks are very heavy and are near impossible to turn and control without power steering and do not stop without power brakes. I was able to maneuver vehicle to the side of the road with minimal damage to the body. I was lucky to not cause a bigger accident and lucky not to injure myself or anybody else. This tipm failure is very common with Dodge vehicles and I am disgusted how chrysler-Dodge has conducted themselves in regard to recalls and warranty. …”
