I was driving from Colorado to Indiana and all the sudden I heard a noise so I pulled over to the right side of the road. When a man came across the median and got a fire extinguisher from his truck and stated for me and my 3 dogs to get out because my truck was on fire. He stated that the driver shaft was on fire with flames by my gas tank.

Severe rust and corrosion on body and suspension parts. Started at around 10 years of age. Support for bed to frame shows severe corrosion making hauling unsafe. Water is able to enter the cab through corroded rocker panels causing mold. Also, electrical system malfunction in throttle body can cause no response from accelerator at intermittent times.

The headlamp on the driver's side went out while driving home. I replaced it with a new one. It would not work. I got a second bulb and tried to replace the light again. Still would not work. I took the truck to three different repair shops and none of them could fix it. I was told it might be the fuse box.

Airbags recall when to have it checki and the dash board broke apart like peanut brittle.

Just caught fire burned up common problem lots of fires

Tipm/fcm failure, intermittent turn signals/hazard lights. Turn on left turn signal right signal comes on, other times no signals at all. Problem occures wether in park, driving, with engine off. Extremely common issue that has not been addressed with replacements costing over $400.

First it was fuel light coming on then the engine light started coming on. Got that off then the blown light started coming on change all blown fuses and lights but light wouldn't go out and engine light came back on. Paid to fixed after 1 year it started up all over again.

Speedometer not working, abs and broke lights not working. Found a forum with hundreds of others having this same issue.

Turn signal, winshield wipers, and speed control has a mind of their own. Half the time not working the rest of the time the when signaling to turn right the right dont work then when signaling left the right side blinks instead of the left. The winshield wipers just randomly swipe sometimes when not even cranked and keys not even in the ignition.

Takata recall. I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. I am having issue finding mopar-oem bell crank part# 53032456 ae. If you go to the dealer in elk grove ca, they are on back order 270.

Tipm replaced in a 2004 ram 1500. Replaced defective totally integrated power module (tipm). Fuel pump wouldn't shut off, wipers turning on by themselves, both sides of my tail lights blacked out, no power. Found out the ground to the tail light relay in the tipm failed . Had to replace the tipm on 1-20-16 at a dodge dealer. All problems happened when the vehicle was either stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway or turning. I also received a ticket for no tail lights. Without tail lights caused by a faulty tipm it created the unsafe condition and caused a safety risk of getting into an accident

A malfunction in the under hood engine compartment caused a fire which destroyed the engine, front of the vehicle and severely damaged the interior. The vehicle was parked on my driveway and had not been started nor driven in over 24 hours up to the time the incident occurred.

2004 Dodge ram 1500 I've been complaining since the truck had 90000 miles on it about the headlights going out and not turning back on. I have been told it's the headlight module and I replaced it with a new aftermarket one but the trucks still doing the same thing. I was driving and the headlights went out and I couldn't see and hit a deer at 20mph on a back road . Police were not called because the damage was only the bumper . But if this doesn't get fixed someone could get hurt as without light you can't see to drive and the lights won't come back on. This is just like the ford recall I received for my car... *Tr

When stationary and no key in the ignition: the electronic automatic door locks disjunction. Sometimes, when the vehicle is not intentionally locked, the doors will lock on their own without a person pressing the lock button on the door or the key fob. At other times, when the door is locked then after returning to the vehicle at a later time, the doors will be unlocked. This happens on a fairly regular basis. This could be a real problem for theft of items in the vehicle. On occasion, when driving the...

The dash modual that controls the interior lights, dash lights, and interior signals no longer works. The guages work and the signals work but there are no lights. This poses a safety issue because you cannot see your speed, oil, temp, and battery guages. Im not sure when iy went bad, I got into my truck one night and none of my interior lights worked.

Faulty instrument cluster fails, shorts out causing door locks to constantly unlock cycle kill battery & electrical failure causing engine to die. I have read countless stories of others with the same problem in 2004-2005 dodge ram pickups. Dealership charges $1000 dollars to fix & admits it is a manufacturing defect but refuses to help. Fiat chrysler automobiles customer service also refuses to help.

Today I went to the dodge dealership so they could diagnose an electrical problem I was having in my truck. They told me that part # 56045112ae, 56051949ad need to be replaced. Which are the ignition switch and the ignition wire harness. Problems I was having were the power windows would not go up or down without the steering wheel all the way in the up position. The motor blowers for my a/c and heat would sometimes not work. And my air bag light was on in the cluster panel. They told me that the wires were...

My truck is a 2004 dodge ram 1500, that only has 77,965 miles. In the last month it has begin shutting off while driving, with the air on. After traveling for about 10 miles a red light flashes on then the check engine light comes on. When I wait for about a couple of minutes and start my truck back up the red light goes off but the check engine light same on until the next time I drive my truck. I looked up the code for this problem and realized that it was a clogged throttle body. I feel this should not be happened on a truck with less than 100,000 miles, especially when my truck has been in two recall in less than a month apart.
