What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
My 2005 dodge pick up truck 1500 ram vin: 5j602436 was taken in for a urgent recall for airbag last year and was supposed to be fixed in a dodge dealership in bayamon puerto rico, however I had a direct collision with another driver and my airbag did not deploy.
I was in an accident. Going about 65 miles an hour.. I rear ended someone on the freeway. I had my cruise control at the time.. Was a car and a half away. The car ahead of me stopped very suddenly I didn't have time to react when I hit him head on. My air bags did not deploy.
I heard whine noise coming from my front wheel hubs on my 04 ram 1500 2wd with 73,724 miles in january of 2010. Took to chrysler dealer and they confirmed hubs were loose and replace them both with aftermarket hubs part number 515072.
Fuel gauge reads half full and it is empty. I have put in 6 fuel sending units and it will last 6 to 9 months and the gauge will slowly start to show fuel in tank and it is empty. This is a very common problem with all diesels. Last time I was ran out of fuel in the fast lane of I-75 in florida.
I had brought my 2003 Stratus and 2007 Caliber in to the dealership for their 3000 mile oil change and check-up. When the Stratus was done, I switched it out with the Caliber. The receptionist came into the waiting room to inform me that my vehicle was dangerous to drive. The engine cradle had rotted out.
My airbag light kept coming on everytime I would turn the wheel all the way to either side. (this was how it started). Then I would be driving on a straight road and it would come on for about 15 mins., then go off. 2. I called the place we bought the truck and explained what was happening because this was scaring me.
