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…

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…

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…

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?

Driver side power window detaches from window clips when 30 degrees or cooler. Have had clips and regulator replaced several times. Dealer can not locate problem to correct from happening again. It doesn't matter if it has snowed or rained, it's the temperature that effects it. Truck has been warmed up and driven before attempting to put window down to scan into work lot. No visible icing on window when attempting…

I have a major concern with controlling my dodge pickup. While towing a recreational vehicle, i hit a bump on an interstate highway and almost lost control of the vehicle. I attributed it to the swaying of the trailer. But now being very sensitive to the event, 1) i've recalled that it has happened prior to pulling the trailer and 2) recently happened again; also not towing a trailer. The feeling is though once the…

Truck randomly shuts off while driving. All lights on the dash come on, once you get to the side of the road you turn truck off and restart it may run fine for days or a half mile. This can happen going 65mph down the turnpike or stopping at a traffic light in town. I bought the truck with 28k and this issue started around 32k. Had it to the dealership and was told "don't know what is causing the problem". My wife…

Uconnect. We have a late model 2012 built in november 2012 with the uconnect system. We feel that ours should be covered under the 2013 uconnect recall due to how late our vehicle was built, which could have been classified as a 2013.

I was driving home from work and the steering wheel started shaking and then the traction light came on. Before i could pull into a gas station the vehicle shut off on me. I turned the key and the car would not turnover. I had the vehicle towed to my house for the night and then to my mechanic the next morning. He could not diagnose the problem and that's when i had it towed to the dealer. It took them 2-3 days to…

The ram1500 was being started and put in reverse then drive and it makes a grinding noise. Started getting worse and family members would notice the noise when leaving their homes. Then about 3 months ago (june 2015) we took it in to dodge and they heard the problem and said they had contacted the engineers and just keep an eye on it. No fixing of any kind. Now every once in a while, as it shifts gears it clonks…
