While moving to south carolina I noticed that something was hanging, a wire or some typ if line, as I crawled under the truck, I found that it was the fuel tank strap. The strap had pulled out from the frame that was corroded. I have always washed the under carriage coming from massachussetts and the road salt. At the present time I am using a tie down strap to secure in place. Searching the internet, I found that there is some type of recall but never recieved anything in writting.
Tailgate does not latch properly. Falls open randomly.
The tailgate recall was supposed to have been fixed, but it didn't work. The tailgate has dropped down at least 4 or 5 times since the supposed recall repair. The last time, it hit the jack on the trailer I was pulling and did quite a bit of damage to the tailgate. I have already submitted this information to Mopar around the 15th and was told I would be contacted within 1 business day, but was not contacted. I have uploaded pictures showing the damage. I have not contacted the insurance company yet.
Front Fuel tank strap ripped out of the frame do to corrosion causing the front of the gas tank to drop almost 6 inches. I live in New York and read that the same issue has occurred on the Ram 1500 from 2009 to 2012
The tailgate fell open while I was driving December 1, 2021. I had closed the tailgate before pulling onto the roadway. I noticed a thump & stopped to check what had caused the noise. This had happened several weeks before & I thought maybe I had not closed the tailgate properly. This problem was supposed to have been fixed in a previous recall. Why would this happen again?
I had safety recall u74 done in july 2018 , in my tailgate . The problem is doing the same thing again. And I was told by chrysler that it is out of warranty. My issue is how is a safety recall out of warranty and tat I have to fix on my own now ? I am so upset at the treatment . This should be covered again.
Due to a faulty brake lamp/cargo lamp, water leaked in and caused damaged to the headliner and made upper brake lamp/cargo lamp inoperable. $2400 to repair headliner and lamp. Vehicle was stationary when water entered into my truck causing damage
The truck was started and moved from one side of the driveway and moved to the other side of the driveway. The truck was turned off after being moved. About 20 minutes after the truck was turned off it was found on fire. The truck was completely engulfed at that point and had also caught the front of the garage on fire. The truck was a complete loss and the front of the garage had significant damage.*dt
Unable to open the drivers door from the inside. Cheap design cable at the handle broke. Very common problem. This is a safety concern not being able to get out in the event of a wreck or fire. I was just trying to get out after parking. No trama or damage.
