We had our vehicle serviced at the Olathe Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram service center between the dates of May 26, 2024 through June 27th, 2024 on 3 separate occasions due to following. Received truck back on June 17th with a blown air suspension after confirming that the air suspension was filled firm when brought the truck in due to an email received for a recall and when driving the vehicle, the power steering kicked in due to the battery terminal not being secured properly (confirmed by AAA technician). No vehicle lights were turned on during this. Returned truck on June 25th, 2024, received truck on June 26th, 2024 where diesel gas was spewing from my truck sitting idol in my driveway after driving it straight home from the service center. Returned on June 27th, 2024 at 7:00 AM CST after being told by the Dodge technicians that I should've drove the truck to them and that diesel has a burning point of over 1,000 degrees. They towed my truck to the shop after I refused. Received my truck at 2:30 PM EST the same day for my road trip that had been scheduled for 6 months. On July 6th, 2024, when driving my truck 4 of the 5 lug nuts broke off completely in which the tire flew off of my truck and caused a singular car accident and damage to my vehicle. We could've been seriously injured due to where we were on the road. I had additional injury to my lower back during the accident incident. We had the vehicle inspected by the California local police department as well as the licensed technician who confirmed that this was negligence by the service center who serviced my truck less than 2 weeks prior. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the General Attorney due to not receiving any response from Dodge regarding this matter.

Instrument cluster flickers and fades. Impacts sensors - air pressure monitors alarms come on even though there is no issue with the air pressure monitors, having 2 different shops check on them and advising that they dont need replacing and that the sensors are good. Also triggered an alert that the car was not in drive - even though it was in drive. The truck would no go - I had to ashift back to park, turn the truck off and restart it also impacts in cabin lighting - it turns off and while driving it will turn on. This is a serious safety issue and there is no recall for it. Shop is unwilling to investigate and offers solution of replacing the whole instrument cluster which is over $1000 usd for the part alone. This issue is ongoing - and it seems to be impacting many many trucks.

Purchased this 2014 dodge ram 1500 double cab from fremont toyota in 11/2019. Own 2/24/2020 I took the vehicle in to have a flat fixed at firestorn tire store a sales representative went out to inspect the tire and said it showed signs of dry rotten. And look at the rest of tires and said they will need to be replaced. Then I took the car back to dealership and spoke with a sales manager, he said he would pass the message to appropriate person. The receptionist took my number a gave me the general manager number, who I called and he said unfortunately a 30 day warranty own used vehicle after I explained what was going, telling him, I never had to replace tires own previous card with in 2 1/2 months. No response. His name is [xxx], phone number [xxx]. I was also told by a shop manager that I should have inspected the vehicle my self. I told him thats not my job. He was very rude and unprofessional. I don't have 800.00 to 900 dollars. And I am a disabled veteran and need to go to hospital own a monthly base to have my blood checked because I am own warfarin a blood thinner medication. With tires that are deteriorating I can't do that. Are they allowed to sale a vehicle with 6 year old tires own it.

8/18/18 at about 1:15 pm while traveling south on us 220 in the left lane in the city of williamsport pa during a cloudy but dry day at 55 MPH, the right front tire blew out for no apparent reason which disabled my vehicle and did approximately $4500 damage. Fortunately, there were no injuries. The tire was a goodyear wrangler sr-a size 275-60-20. The tire was approximately 1 year old with 8/32 tread remaining at time of the blow out. I did not hit anything to cause the blowout. After the blow out, I pulled over the left side of the highway in the median to inspect the damage. I then limped the truck back to the right side of the road and into the grass to get to a safe location for me and my family. At that point, I proceeded to remove the tire and install the spare at which point it then started raining. I believe the safety risk was the goodyear tire. The tire has been sent to goodyear to examine. They stated there was no factory defect, however, they refused to send me a copy of their report despite numerous requests. I still have the tire in my possession. Goodyear also refused to provide any kind of warranty coverage despite the fact the blow out occurred within the warranty period and mileage. I do have a dash cam video of the blow out however it is in .mov format I was not able to upload it - I can provide a cd upon request. More information is available than what I was able to provide in this complaint.

Dodge ram steering recall alert- this same situation happened to me in my model 2014 dodge ram 1500 big horn. Recall needs to be extended the nut holding the steering knuckle and right control arm separated while driving. I felt a huge pop and jerk of the steering wheel. Luckily I was traveling at a low rate of speed. I took to suncoast dodge dealer immediately, he said I was lucky I could if I was on the freeway which I was shortly before. He said he has never seen a nut fall off before, but it did and, could rolled and caused serious accident. I was charged for repair and picked up truck today 2/5 then saw recall for this exact situation released today by chrysler fiat, but my vehicle was not included.

When I took my truck in for routine maintenance service and tire rotation, I was told that all 4 goodyear wrangler sr-a dot m5ynjb1r0314 need to be replaced and they were not rotated because of tiny cracks in the sidewalls all the way around each tire. The tread is still like new and only 13,158 miles. These tires were on my new truck when I purchased it. Just to compare: my 2005 ram still had the original tires on it with only slight wear on tread when I traded it in 9 years later.
