I purchased my truck in may 2006, since I bought the truck it has had a vibration on start ie from stop when I start moving the truck has a vibration. I am now on the third rear drive shaft assembly in my truck at 65k miles. Also have had to replace a blown front hub that separated at 60k miles with no previous problems or warning. Have had over 3k worth of electrical work done at dealership including PCM, wiring harness, fca, injection pump and so forth and so on. Still have tons of electrical issues with truck. And now at 66k miles the fuel sending unit has gone out for the second time.
2004 Dodge RAM 3500 electrical complaints

2004 dodge ram 3500. Out of park. Vehicle does not go all the way into park, and the vehicle will roll away when you get out. We had a recall on this problem only to now have the horn blair when you are backing up and you have the door open to gage the distance. This startled my husband when backing into a very close garage space, making him hit the accelerator and smash into the side of the garage. We have been told by dodge it is not a problem with the vehicle it is with the operators of the vehicle. But only the operators of 2004 and 2005 ram 2500 and 3500 trucks???????? Not 1500 or any other trucks. It is amazing to me that only owners of 2004 & 2005 dodge ram 2500 and 3500 trucks are idiots.
The fix for the park/reverse issue on the dodge trucks is a joke. The lights blinking and horn blowing is not a fix at all. The transmission needs to be fixed right or some sort of audible alarm needs to be installed versus the horn blowing and waking up the whole neighborhood each time the door is opened when I need to back up. *jb updated
Removed key from ignition on 6 occasions over 2 days and engine continued to run.
Abs light came on. Air conditioner went off and on. Went to stop at an intersection , and heard a pop, and brakes went to the floor. Finally stopped with emergency brake. A man came running saying get out that it was on fire. Called the fire dept. This is a new truck with 8,000 miles on it. We are waiting for a rep from chrysler to investigate. They would not even put us in a rental until they got to it. We could have been killed or killed someone else. We purchased this vehicle out of town at brubaker but had to have it towed to a local dealership.
