This is my second complaint regarding dash board. The dash started cracking with just 30,000 miles on truck, when I put in compliant to the federal safety agency. Now 109,000 the electrical, air bags, computer harness wiring are exposed with a intermittent stalling and a guessing game from authorized dodge dealers as to what might be the issues. "undetermined electrical shorts from cracked dash a possibility" "ABS service light stays on, also "undetermined by dealer", "can't track code" "don't drive as airbag might deploy because dash has dash debris from cracks" plus hearing "refuse to service unless replace the dashboard" all these quotes when trying to take to get the truck fixed. Main computer harness intermittent "no bus" can't find shorts! Stalls out on freeway. The glove box even hangs on only one side. Unsafe if airbags deploy. Splintering of remains chards of faulty dashboard plastic, stall on fast lane of 14 freeway in ca had to coast to right side with no power steering lucky the brakes worked and the traffic was light. Short in wire due to exposed dash board.

Fuel injector pump stopped working and from all of information I found it seemed to me it should have been a recall. We had a accident in 2005 from the stalling of the pump, and was told by the body shop it was the cause of the wreck. We have spent money on sensors trying to repair to finally be told that the vp-44 code was the fuel injector pump, and will need to be replace and that certain companies have made a special part to repair this and could prevent this from happening. Why can't dodge repair? Does it take someone to die just to get something repair right, which should have been done during the making of the product?

Towing a 6000 lbs trailer up hill when fuel injection pump stalled caused truck to stop. Word is that its not a recall, but should be. Happens a to a lot of dodge trucks. Luckily there was a shoulder to pull off to. Lucky us we were not going down hill!!!

Dodge ram lift pump failures failure of fuel system fuel oil transfer pump (lift pump) leads to immediate engine stalling. When towing (as which truck is designed for), upon engine shutdown at hwy speeds, immediate loss of power brake and steering performance. This leads to loss of control of trailer and/or load. Property damage and fatalities would be dependent upon drivers experience level while towing. Mfg (damilerchysler) knows of the problem, in some cases will replace pump dependent upon detailed proof from vehicle owner. Not all dealers following company policy and is will actually flat refuse to address that a problem exists, even though the mfc has issued a tech service bulletin (tsb).
