TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 RAM 4500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE SITTING IN HIS WORK PARKING LOT.

HEATER WILL WORK WHEN IT WANTS TO I HAVE CHANGED BLOWER AND RESISTOR STILL KICKS OFF FOR NO REASON

MY OIL PAN IT RUSTING OUT FAST. NOTHING ON THE WHOLE TRUCK IS RUSTED AT ALL, ONLY MINOR SURFACE RUST. THE OIL PAN IS RUSTING VERY FAST AND THE TRUCK IS NOW LEAKING OIL. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO GOODBROTHERS DODGE AND THEY QUOTED ME THE REPAIRS TO BE AROUND 1200.00. I DROPPED THE TRUCK OFF AND THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID THE OIL PAN THEY ORDERED IS DENTED AND THEY NEED TO ORDER ANOTHER. THEN 4 DAYS LATER THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO THE JOB AND REPLACE THE OIL PAN. THEY SAID I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO FIX IT. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM THEM AND NOW THEY CAN'T FIX, AND IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE OIL PAN IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BE RUSTED LIKE IT IS. NOTHING ON THE WHOLE TRUCK IS RUSTED LIKE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 4500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S EMPLOYEE WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHUT OFF. THE DRIVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MCPEEK'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF ANAHEIM (LOCATED AT 1221 S AUTO CENTER DR, ANAHEIM, CA 92806, (714) 635-2340) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO CHARGER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,881.

2014 RAM 4500 G56 TRANSMISSION DON'T DO ANY HARD SHIFTING OR ANYTHING ELSE SHIFT LEVER BROKE CLEAN OFF TODAY SHIFTING INTO SIX DOING 45 MPH, NOT A HARD SHIFT NO GRINDING GEARS JUST DROPPED INTO GEAR AND THEN SNAPPED OFF. THE TECHS TELL ME THAT IS IS AN "ISOLATOR" WHICH KEEPS THE VIBRATION DOWN, BUT THE SHIFTER IS ONLY HELD TOGETHER BY RUBBER. THIS IS ON A HEAVY DUTY WORK TRUCK AND THE PIECE IS HELD TOGETHER BY RUBBER. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE I WAS TOWING A TRAILER WHEN IT BROKE LEAVING ME STUCK IN 6TH GEAR UNABLE TO MOVE THE TRUCK OR PUT INTO NEUTRAL UNTIL I TOOK THE CONSOLE APART AND SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL FROM THE TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK IF I WASNT IN A LOW TRAFFIC AREA. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE EXACT SHIFTER THAT I HAD BUT THE RECALL ONLY APPLIED TO 2015-2016 TRUCKS. THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A FAULTY PRODUCT IN MORE THAN A FEW TRUCKS BUT ONLY...
