“When I stop at traffic light/stop sign diesel fumes come through the vents and into the cab. Fumes are very strong. This all started the first year I owned the truck back in 2011 (bought new). Once you take off down the road with windows open fumes clear out but come back when you stop.”
NHTSA complaint #11052677, filed 2017-12, 5,000 miles“There are two issues at hand here. One is the fuel pump fuse/relay. It went out but cant be fixed without replacing the entire fuse box as it is internally within fuse box. I did a bypass and replaced fuel pump, but I still have codes related to fuel system having a leak. When this issue happened, my wife was left stranded as the truck wouldn't turn on. Also, on a different note, I noticed my trailer brake light coming on saying it is disable and flashes on and off as I am driving. Not sure if this is related to the electrical aspect of it. The other was on engine. …”
NHTSA complaint #11342669, filed 2020-08, 177,000 miles“My safety complaint on our 2011 Dodge ram 3500 truck should already be in file! We have had safety issues with this truck ever since purchasing it as a used vehicle from ramey's in beckley, wv. There are at present three (3) recalls on this vehicle, of which n49 appears to be the most life-threatening, which we were never notified about, nor were we ever notified about the buyback on this truck. We accidentally found out. We were never notified of anything concerning these problems, probably because we purchased it used. …”
NHTSA complaint #10807514, filed 2015-11, 91,000 miles“The emissions check engine light came on and was diagnosed as a overlay wiring harness that was faulty and needed to be upgraded. This vehicle only has 67000 miles on it and this item helps control the diesels emisiones. It should be covered by the factory for the 100,000 miles as stated. Upon contacting FCA they refused to help in any way to cover cost of repairs. This repair is happening on multiple diesel rams . I only ask that FCA be held responsibility for vehicles that produce and sell”
NHTSA complaint #11169967, filed 2019-01, 67,344 miles“Recall p65 - dealer will not give me the information about the work to be completed and neither will chrylser. Dealer cannot do the work because have nothing else to drive and I work. Dealer did a recall before and did not soldier like he said, but spliced wires, made a mess, and is probably what he wants to do now. I cannot trust a dealer to fix the repair. Chrysler needs to replace the whole unit and not short cut me on the repair. If it is so critical.”
