Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2009-2012 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks currently, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. Exposure to environmental conditions such as water mixed with road salt may cause the front fuel tank strap frame "T-Slot" bracket to corrode, possibly causing the fuel tank to drop and make contact with the ground.
If the fuel tank were to drop and contact the ground, a fuel leak may result. Additionally, in the event of a crash, the fuel tank may not remain secured to the vehicle, possibly causing a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence in an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will bolt a bracket reinforcement to the frame, free of charge. The recall began May 2, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U04.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 10,000 lbs, 2011-2017 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, 2009-2017 Ram 1500 and 2010-2017 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, all equipped with a column shifter. Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI, and, as necessary, replace it, free of charge. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T79.

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Ram 1500 trucks manufactured from February 27, 2008, through June 30, 2009, and from December 1, 2009, through October 20, 2011; model year 2009-2011 Dodge Dakota trucks manufactured from February 27, 2007, through June 30, 2009, and from December 1, 2009, through September 30, 2011; model year 2009 Chrysler Aspen trucks manufactured from January 3, 2008, through December 18, 2008; and model year 2009 Dodge Durango trucks manufactured from January 3, 2008, through December 18, 2008. The rear axle pinion nut may loosen due to an undersized pinion spline that can allow relative motion between the nut and companion flange.
If the rear axle pinion nut loosens, the axle can lock up and cause a loss of vehicle control and/or a vehicle crash with little warning.
On November 7, 2013 Chrysler notified owners that dealers would install a pinion nut retainer, free of charge. In July 2015, and under a consent order with NHTSA, the company agreed to offer owners three options for remedying their vehicles: perform the original remedy, offer to repurchase the vehicle at the fair market value plus 10%, or offer an additional incentive offer towards the purchase of a new Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, or Fiat vehicle. Chrysler will notify owners of the new recall options in a letter expected to be mailed on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N08.

I HAVE HAD 2 BLOW OUTS (INSTANTANEOUS TIRE DEFLATIONS) IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND CONFIRMED ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS/VALVE STEMS (TPMS) CORRODING CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHERE THE VALVE STEM IS LOST AND THE TIRE DEFLATES. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED ON A FREEWAY. LUCKILY THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND PULL ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER. ON INSPECTION OF THE TIRE THE VALVE STEM WAS MISSING WITH A HOLE INTO THE TIRE. UNFORTUNATELY DESPITE THE DEALER BEING AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND COSTS $140 TO REPAIR. AS ABOVE, THIS IS THE 2ND EXACT FAILURE ON THE SAME VEHICLE. IT APPEARS I AM EXPECTED TO PAY OVER $500 TO GET THEM ALL CHANGED. IN THE MEANTIME I AM NOT ALLOWING MY WIFE OR FAMILY TO TRAVEL IN WHAT I NOW CONSIDER A DANGEROUS TRUCK. *TR

WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP IF YOU MOMENTARILY HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATE. WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BRAKE THE CAR BEGINS FORWARD THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND CAR SHUTS DOWN FROM 1 TO 10 SECONDS. IF YOU ARE PULLING INTO A BUSY ROAD WHERE YOU MIGHT MOMENTARILY SPIN THE ENGINE UP IN ORDER TO HAVE BETTER RESPONSE YOU ARE LEFT STUCK OUT IN THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. ALSO HAPPENS IF YOU ARE TOWING ON AN INCLINE AND YOU SPIN UP ENGINE BEFORE RELEASING FOOT BRAKE. YOU WOULD DO THIS IN ORDER TO NOT ROLL BACK. THEY SAID THE CODE SAYS YOU SHOULD NOT DRIVE WITH 2 FEAT. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD HAPPEN THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS. HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE HAS BECOME DEFECTIVE. IT WILL NO LONGER HOLD THE KEY FOB IN PLACE ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE KEY SIMPLY FALLS OUT BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO TURN OFF WHILE STILL IN GEAR NOW. ADDITIONALLY, SOMETIMES THE MODULE WILL NOT TURN, OR WILL NOT TURN COMPLETELY, WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED AND YOU ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT WON'T TURN COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL K08 ISSUED IN AUGUST 2010 ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES IN THE 2010 RAM TRUCKS BUT FOR SOME REASON IT DOES NOT COVER THE 2011 MODELS. DODGE HAS TOLD ME IT IS MY PROBLEM TO FIX AND NOT THEIR DEFECT. *TR

REAR AXLE PINION NUT N08/NHTSA ON 2/22/2014 AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT, EVEN AFTER I HAD SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AT 0720 ON 2/22/2014 AND WAS TOLD BY A [XXX] THAT THIS WAS USUALLY NOT AN ISSUE FOR RAM TRUCKS, THAT THEY WERE SHORT-STAFFED AND THAT THEY COULD NOT GET TO THE VEHICLE UNTIL NEXT WEEK, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR THE RECALL ISSUE. IT APPEARED THEY DID NOT WANT TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR, BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF THE REPAIR AS IT WAS A RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL NOW NEED TO BE GIVEN DIRECTION AS TO WHERE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR.

Vehicle speed control, Jan 29, 2014
I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE, MOVING VERY SLOW (BECAUSE OF OUR OUTSIDE CATS) WITH VERY SLIGHT PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR, JUST ENOUGH TO START TO MOVE THE TRUCK BACKWARDS DOWN THE INCLINE OUT OF MY GARAGE. IMMEDIATELY, THE ENGINE REVVED AND STARTED RACING. THE TRUCK PICKED UP SPEED DRAMATICALLY AND I SLAMMED MY RIGHT FOOT DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, NOT SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE BRAKES HOWLED AND VIBRATED, TOTALLY FAILING TO STOP THE TRUCK. I LIFTED MY FOOT AND THEN REAPPLIED BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE WITHOUT THINKING. BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND TRUCK SLOWED VERY LITTLE, ENGINE STILL REVVING. I THEN PULLED THE HANDLE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND APPLIED IT TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE ENGINE WAS STILL SPEEDING UP AND I PUT IT IN PARK, IMMEDIATELY TURNING THE KEY TO KILL THE TRUCK. I DIDN'T THINK TO LOOK AT THE RPMS, BUT THEY HAD TO BE HIGH. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS INTERFERING WITH THE GAS PEDAL. NOTHING WAS, MY MAT THAT I'VE HAD IN IT FOR 2 YEARS LAYS FAR TO THE LEFT OF IT. THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED TO BE IN NORMAL POSITION. I AM TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER WORK TODAY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED HERE AND THE RANDOMNESS OF THIS. IT WAS LIKE THE TRUCK HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN AND JUST TRIED TO TAKE OFF. AFTER READING EVERYTHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE, I'M NOT SURE I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK. I BOUGHT IT NEW WITH 19 MILES ON IT. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH THE DODGE TRUCKS CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. *TR

I RECEIVED MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND MY SECOND ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALERSHIP ,PREVIOUSLY MIKE OLSEN DODGE AND CURRENTLY YAKIMA DODGE, AND HAVE BEEN PUT ON A WAITING LIST. THEY STATE THAT THEY ONLY GET PARTS TO FIX 1 VEHICLE AT A TIME THAT THEN HAS TO BE VERIFIED BEFORE THEY CAN FIX ANOTHER ONE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT THE REAR AXLE CAN DISENGAGE AND LEAD TO AN UNCONTROLLABLE ACCIDENT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN SUCH INCIDENT CLOSE TO TOWN BUT WITH NO INJURIES. THE NOTICES ARE IDENTIFIED AS SAFETY RECALL N08/NHTSA 13V-038. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY SAFETY WHEN I DRIVE. *TR

MY RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL AND MY BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE TIPM OR A FANCY FUSE BOX . MY COMPLAINT IS THAT CHRYSLER IS AT FAULT FOR THIS DEFECT WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE LACK OF LIGHT SIGNALS. THEY NEED TO IDENTIFY AN IMMEDIATE AND A ROBUST FIX TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS IN MY OTHER VEHICLES AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LIGHT SIGNALS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 50 YEARS . ANY INVESTIGATION AND FOLLOW UP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY, ALL FOUR OF THEM. WE NOTICED THIS AT 20000 MILES!! WE NOTICED NOISE COMING FROM THE TRUCK AND WHEN THE DEALERSHIP TOOK THE TRUCK FOR ROAD INSPECTION THEY SAID IS THE TIRES. AND OF COURSE, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE, THAT I HAVE TO GO WITH GOODYEAR CO. AND MAKE A CLAIM. WE USED THE TRUCK TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK ONLY! WE DO NOT TAKE THE TRUCK OFF ROAD OR EVEN TO OUR NEIGHBOR COUNTRY (MEXICO) BECAUSE OF ROAD CONDITIONS THERE.THE TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY AND MAKE THIS TERRIBLE NOISE WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ? WE TAKE THE TRUCK EVERY 3000 MILES FOR OIL CHANGE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WILL RECOMMEND TIRE ROTATION AT 6000 MILES OR SO, WE DO AS THEY RECOMMEND, BUT NOW, NO ONE IS HELPING OUT! HOW COME THEY DID NOT NOTICE THIS EARLY WEAR IN OUR TIRES?. *TR
