I visited my local Dodge dealership for airbag recalls for my 2005 Dodge Ram in December 2022. In October 2023 I noticed a leak in the rear differential. When looking into the recalls for my Vin the differential pin was mentioned on there but never to me as I thought it was just the airbags. The part has been fixed by a mechanic shop (I paid for) but, did dodge complete the inspection or just checked complete to include airbags recall (complete)?

Had taken my vehicle in for the recall they said it was fine , after wards two months later my front right break locked up. But now my rear end that was supposed to been fixed from recall vut now it is making loud noise
I was driving on a highway when all of a sudden I heard what I thought to be a blow out (tire) ,as I pulled over on shoulder with difficulty I looked in mirror and saw a part has fallen off, later retrieved with tow truck driver, part being a driveshaft. Rear end had seized as I maneuvered my veh. As far on shoulder as possible, I feel fortunate for outcome of incident. I had gotten a tow to my resident now not sure what my next step is to do, any advise would be helpful. Thank you
Rear differential failure. Right rear drive shaft gets loose and makes continual noise.
While driving the vehicle came to a complete stop. It felt like someone had hit me from the back. When I got off to look I saw that no one had crashed into me. A bystander says that my drive shaft is on the floor. Had to call a tow truck to take home. Went to a dodge dealer about the issue and stated that there was a recall on it. He said that the vehicle was taken to dealership 5 years ago. The problem was previously fixed. They can't do anything about it. I looked up some information and found that this has happened again to other drivers. All owners stated that issues were never resolved. My dad owns a 1999 dodge 1500 and the drive shaft has never fallen off.

The vehicle will intermittently stall when stopping or stopped at a traffic light or stop sign. It can be immediately restarted. It will also intermittently flash a check engine light with chime while driving down the road. This has been an ongoing problem since purchased in 2008. It happens with cold or warm engine. It may happen once a week, once a month, or several times in one day. Usually more frequently when the air temperature is below 65 degrees. There are no codes stored and no check engine light displayed (other than the intermittent light & chime).. The dealership says there are no tsb's covering my engine/transmission. There are hundred of similar complaints online with owners 4.7 engines in other dodge & jeep products. Many people have spent well over $1,000 on this problem and not solved it. We recently moved from a rural area to a large city. Dealing with this problem in heavy traffic is very stressful. We recently started transporting a baby in this vehicle and the impatience of other cars waiting for us to restart ours leads to other vehicles to take aggressive actions which will eventually lead to an accident.
Dealer advises that chrysler is declining to perform p77 recall, citing lack of availability of parts. Chrysler has made a verbal offer to purchase this vehicle which is less than my assessment of the vehicles worth. They have now told me that I must come and collect my truck from the dealership (after them having the vehicle from 12/31) today and they are declining to perform the recall service.

This truck had a p 77 recall done and suposedly was fixed in april 2016 and in sept 2018 I start hearing a noise in the rearend and found out these trucks have rearend issues so took it to findlay dodge in wilsonville oregon .they claimed problem nothing to do with recall fix , so I took the truck to another place to have fixed , which they then found out, that the pinion set was way too tight causing the bearing failure and metal in case.I paid to have rearend rebuilt.I feel this problem should havebeen fixed by the dealership/manufacturer and happened because the orgina recall and the fix was done wrong (too tight) causing the bearing failure.

I was driving on the highway, slowing down to get off the exit, doing approximately 40-45 MPH. I my passenger and I heard some strange noises in the rear and then suddenly the rear wheels locked up, causing the truck to bounce around violently. I bought the truck in december of 2016, this incident happened mid november 2017. Upon doing some research I found the recall, and followed up with some calls to dealers. This issue was supposedly resolved in march 2016 in plymouth, massachusetts, I purchased the vehicle in lewistown pennsylvania. My truck is currently sitting at a dealership where it has been since december 14, and they tell me it might not get in the shop until after the new year. I contacted dodge, they tell me they can not help me until after a diagnostic. I am reaching out to you in the event they deny my claim under the recall warranty. The shop manager at the local dealership tells me even with a diagnosis he can't say for certain the recall was repaired properly or not, which would leave me with a huge bill for something I believe is their fault for not using proper parts or not repairing the part properly under a recall warranty.
