The software change that indicates that the parking gear is not properly engaged, goes off all the time. At the most inconvenient times. Like the middle of the night, at a quiet campground, when parking the truck. It seems that there is a better solution for the problem than sounding the horn. Maybe correct the problem. Also the horn goes off when backing the truck with the door open. I know it is supposed to do that with the "band aid fix" but when hooking up to trailers, it is often nice to leave the door open when backing.
2004 Dodge RAM 2500 electrical complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 47 of 47, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving on freeway engine stalled immediately without warning due to failure of the fuel lift pump. Had to purchase a dealer manufactured retrofit kit, which included a newly designed fuel lift pump and wiring harness.
The horn begins honking (unintended) when the vehicle is unoccupied, not locked, engine not running. Ignition key not in.
Upon having the truck at dealer b for warranty servicing,the dealership installed without my knowledge or consent the e17 out-of-park alarm, similar to recall the federal safety agency campaign 05v462000. The recall was for a computer flash to look for several things to occur simultaneously; 1) driver's side door opened, transmission was in reverse, and foot was off of brake. When these conditions occurred the horn started blowing and the lights start flashing. This was not an acceptable recall, and I didn't want it on my truck. On numerous occasions I needed to back up by having the driver's side door open to use the ground as a reference. This typically occurred when mirror or window views were blocked, or there was an object behind that could not be seen. When trying to back up to these objects the horn started blowing and lights started flashing. This resulted in bothering neighbors, coworkers, etc. It was an annoyance and it did not result in a safer vehicle. Chrysler needed to develop an alternate method for addressing the problem, if there was truly a problem needed to be addressed. Chrysler informed me that they were not willing to reverse the recall that it was in place. Also, they claimed that they were mandated to do the recall if I brought the truck in for service, and therefore claimed they had no duty to inform me beforehand. This was tantamount to tampering with my vehicle without my knowledge or consent. Does chrysler have the authority to perform this recall without my knowledge or consent? If so, from where do they derive this authority?*ak updated 04/18/07.
I am owner of a 2004 dodge durango. Vin # 1d4hb48n04fxxxxxx. On tuesday, september 12, 2006 my wife (lori m. Murphy) noticed that all interior lights would not go off once the vehicle was in gear. This problem persisted throughout that day and at 10:00 p.m. I tried to get the lights to turn off to no avail. The lights were still on this morning (9/13/06) when my wife took the vehicle to aurora chrysler plymouth in aurora ohio. On the way to the dealership she noticed an electrical burning smell. After arriving and waiting about 2 hours, she was told that a chip had burned out on the circuit board for the instrument panel. The service personnel indicated the part needed for repair would be $587.00. I would like to refer to the federal safety agency investigation # ea06015 to see if I have any recourse with daimlerchrysler for covering expenses for this repair.
Defective weathers tripping around front doors of my 2004.5 dodge ram truck. Dodge did not inform me of defective design and will not repair it at their expense (carbon monoxide inhalation danger). Electrical component and wiring harness defects, dealer has not notified me of defects, will not fix them under warranty,(fire hazard). Deceptive practices by dodge dealer (kari dodge , kalispell montana). Sold me a 7 year 70,000 mile warranty , specifically stating it was not similar to my previous warranty (insurance policy it turned out to be). I paid 1700 dollars for a warranty that does not cover what I was lead to believe it would.
