When raining the engine misfires to the point of stalling the engine and when hitting the gas the engine will big down when idleing for more that 10 minutes the engine idles rough and begins to putter and stahls out. The rear differential but came loose causing the pinion gear to shift which had resulted in a loud whirling sound when driving at any speed and gets louder when the faster the truck goes and also clunks when coming to a stop. When hitting the brake pedal the front passenger blinker/running light illuminates. Front driver side wheel bearing consistently fails after 8,000-20,000 miles causing a loud humming noise and causing me tons of money. Check engine light comes on telling me to check gas cap even though I've replace it twice now which leads me to believe there is a engineering defect and also through the code for misfire in cylinder 7 even though I've replaced the spark plugs and coils after the code was generated and it went if for about 4 weeks and came back on. I'm conclusion I believe chrysler is knowingly selling unsafe and, unreliable vehicles which end to costing the consumer thousands in repairs and time something we can't get back. This has been happening since 20,000-40,000 miles into owning the vehicle. My vehicle was manufactured 05/2005 but is titled as a 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt crew cab

Truck will idle at 100 rpms and every once in awhile it will stall out as I am rolling up to a stop light. The truck will cut off without warning. The truck will start back up with no issues after this happens but this seems that it could be a serious issue especially if you have no control when it stalls out at low rpms.

After filling gas tank in truck in the process of turning out of the parking lot on to a busy road the truck stalled out and would not start. Since then I have learned that in order to prevent this from happening anytime after filling the truck in the first few miles after driving if o plan to cove to a stop I must change gears in to neutral and rev the engine above 1500 RPM to keep it from dying. I feel that this is a serious safety issue with the risk of being run in to if the truck stalls turning on top a road.

2006 dodge ram 1500. Vehicle would shut down while driving. Engine would crank but not turn over. Mechanic had to tear into engine to find the problem. Rods bent, valve sticking, timing chain jump. Basically the engine was shot. Repair cost $3,000.00. It appears that a lot of other people have the same problem and it cannot be diagnosed without tearing into the engine. Also turn signal would blink opposite of where turning. Dodge needs to do something about this. These are safety issues! I would like to be reimbursed my costs. Mileage on vehicle: 158,000. Interesting enough, I have a 2001 dodge ram that has over 307,000 miles on it and never had this problem.

Suspension/brakes: front end wheel bearing vibration/rubbing noise. Replaced several sets of worn tires after spending $189.00 through firestone for lifetime alignments/tire balance/rotations the constant rubbing vibration noise have not alleviated. Brake rotors warped & replaced because of the issue with the pitman arm & front wheel bearings. Chrysler recall campaigns f05, g02, n62, the federal safety agency campaign 13v528000, 10e040000, 10e013000, 07v038000, 06v038000. Front wheel bearings still noisy, front end vibration still present & alignments constantly necessary. Service bulletins 08-004, 41, & 1900805 related to suspension steering part of this issue. Electrical: ignition key locking up & unable to turn the key to start the vehicle. Had to forcibly turn or wiggle the steering wheel, which is locked, in order to get the key to turn. Numerous occasions had to leave the vehicle & return in the future to attempt to turn the ignition key. Turn signal (service bulletin 08-002-12) flashes & intermittent wipers operate incorrectly. Sudden flashing back & forth of signals has almost caused car crashes on numerous occasions. Intermittent wipers stop suddenly at mid windshield point obstructing view. Both operated from the same left handle. Cruise control surges constantly when engaged. Numerous occasions surged suddenly on a hill or bridge almost causing loss of control. Tachometer shows anywhere from 0 to 250 RPM when stopped & has caused stalling of the engine. Operating the vehicle at speed (55mpm for instance), it only shows 1000rpm. During the period of ownership had to replace 3 batteries. This seems excessive for the age of the vehicle. Therefore, considering all the electrical related issues there must be a defect since all of these problems still exist. Service bulletin 5015 related to electrical systems are also parts of this issue.

Every time I fill fuel tank the engine starts stalling for up to and hour after. It now if it has more than a half of a tank, it not only stalls, but pushes raw gasoline out of the evap canaster. The truck is not safe to drive. The problem appears to be the same problem that chrysler has had with chrysler 300. It is malfunctioning shut off float that is allowing fuel to enter purge line. The float is part of the fuel tank and can only be fixed by replacing the $750.00 fuel tank.
