2012 Dodge RAM 3500 electrical complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 45 of 45, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving on the freeway at 50mph went to accelerate to pass a truck and nothing happened. Dead pedal, a big truck was coming up behind me and he had to hit the brakes as I was now in the left lane. He went to the right to avoid me. This has happened countless times. Dealer cannot figure out the problem, as no codes are set. They have replaced the apps, which is the gas pedal, the brake light switch, the ECM, the egr. None of these made a difference. Been back at least ten times for them to put truck on there computer, and no codes. They say, can't fix what they don't see. Dealer left the work order open for a long time so no evidence of all the come backs were recorded. Dealer is 40 miles away. Twice in one minute, one time only truck would not move from a stoplight. This only happened one time. I can make the truck do its dead pedal thing, but its out of warranty. It has something to do with the exhaust brake. It sounds like the brake is on, pumping the pedal does no good, just put it to the floor wait 3 or more seconds and will downshift and off we go. Like I said, when going to pass, moving into the left lane on a hill and nothing happens, just a little scary. I think it is a safety issue, it could create an accident. Rear ended..
In august 2012 the engine warning light came on. It was taken to dodge dealer numerous times for repair. They would reset saying chrysler would not allow repairs. In october the dodge dealer kept the vehicle until a week or so before christmas 2012. The engine warning light has stayed off. However within a few days of the vehicles return, I received a recall notice regarding the left tie rod ball stud....which could cause crash without warning. I immediately called the dodge dealer. He said chrysler was not supplying the repair parts. He put me on a list. I have called the dealer many times and he says I am at the top of the list for repairs but chrysler is only shipping one or two parts for the repairs per month.
Driver side control for power windows/power locks - smoldered, smoked and then started small fire. Lots of smoke - to the point we were sick from fumes. Doors and window power operation ceased. The entire control panel melted and need to be extinguished.

The consumer stated he was able to use it, with the hand control, but not the foot control. The brakes would become very hot from trying to stop the equipment trailer without the brake controller working properly. The consumer stated when the brakes overheated, it damaged other components. Also, the headlights would go out at random times while driving at night. There was an electrical burning smell emitting from the vehicle. *jb the consumer also stated the vehicle needed a new wiring harness and new axles. Updated 08/14/12
