The rear axle pinion nut on my truck is recalled causing major safety issue. Chrysler is refusing to do anything other than telling people to wait and they are ok to continue to drive the vehicle until it breaks. This is my only vehicle, and I need a safe vehicle for my family and me to be in. Youre putting our lives, and everyone elses at risk is 100%irresponsible of me and chrysler. Please help us consumers. My light came on service 4 wheel drive, esp traction control, I purchased an extended warranty which is what saved me, I am having electrical problems with the headlights, first the drivers side and now the passager side. I have called dodge dealer several times to schedule the service for the replacement. They do not have the part or don't know when the part will be there.

Head lights stop working, after inspection the connectors to the lights are malfunctioning , defective . During the 3 year warranty vehicle was taken to dealer to repair this but nothing was done to replace connectors , dealers claim that connectors were clean . Problem still exist and lights both go on an off, connectors are clean and no corrosion was found, connectors have to be replace in order to fix problem. If wiggle or squeeze by hands they worked evendo they are completely inserted with lock in place . This is a must do while on the road at night driver goes blind and can and it will cause an accident.

While driving down the road the head lights (low and high) will go off and come on. It is a safety hazard and needs to be addressed. I have replace the bulbs but it is still doing it. May be an issue with the harness please address the problem.

Deer ran into me. My headlights on my ram are so inferior that I couldn't see the deer. I don't think he could see me either. The headlights on the rams are so poor I have started looking on websites to see if others are having the same problems. I have found hundreds of other ram owners with the same complaint. We all have commented how we can drive with our brights on and never get flashed back. Apparently chrysler has corrected the problem on the 2013 model. (finally). Chrysler needs to recall the affected rams and fix the headlights before people are injured and killed, or should I say before more are injured and killed.

The doors that switch the air up to the windshield or to your feet or face started flapping back anfourth and then stuck ion blowing on your feet never switching again. Then before I could get back to the dealership to get fixed the whole HVAC system quit working all except the fan switch, it still blows on your feet. When the system quit it also stopped my automatic headlight on switch to quit. You can't defrost the windshield how is that not safe. The truck had about 50000 miles when these started happen.

Passenger side head lamp failure. Both high & low beam will randomly go off and working intermittently. Common problem posted among 2009+ dodge ram owners. Caused by faulty ground wiring.

Dashboard began cracking and caving in. Large and small pieces have fallen into the dash area. Soon after, I noticed that several times I have tried using my high beams, and will lose my headlamps, and the high beams don't come on either. Didn't think they were related but recently have heard and read of several other owners who have experienced the same problem with their dodge rams that have broken dashboards. Some have other electrical problems in the dash too. I also now have significant wind whistle coming from the front windshield unless I leave a window cracked or vent open when travelling highway speeds. Suspect it is from loss of structural rigidity due to collapsed dash.
