Hash shifting during acceleration and deceleration and aggressive braking during decelerating...was only doing this during acceleration in the beginning but now does it all the time . This has not left me stranded yet but, I feel like this is going to be a major problem if this problem does not get remedied soon . Started doing this about a month ago or so..

ON 11/25/19 ABOUT 3 AM THE HORN GOT STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND NOTHING WAS LABELED IN THE FUSE BOX OR MANUAL (BOOK) WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 40,012 MILES, I'M TOTALLY SURPRISED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND I WAS CONSIDERING BUYING ANOTHER DODGE RAM TRUCK!!!! TRACK WAS PARKED

MY 2011 MEGA CAB 3500 WAS PURCHASED IN NOV OF 2018 WITH ONLY APPROX. 110K MILES ON ODOMETER. AFTER A SHORT WHILE OF DRIVING, A VIBRATION STARTED GETTING WORSE UP UNTIL I TOOK TO A DEALER AT APPROX. 114K FOR A CHECK ON TOE & ALIGNMENT. IT ENDED UP BEING A TOTAL REPAIR OF UPPER & LOWER U-JOINTS & BALL JOINTS. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE DRIVER'S MIRROR-HAD SHORT, WIRING HARNESS ON PASSENGER HEADLIGHT-HAD SHORT, TRANSMISSION SHIFTER SEAL LEAKED, NEW PINION GEAR & SEAL, & FEW OTHER ITEMS ALSO. IT SEEMS LIKE A DIESEL THAT HAS JUST STARTED BREAKING IN WAS FALLING APART ON ME BEFORE IT'S TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY, ABOUT 4 MONTHS OR SO AFTER I MADE THE PURCHASE, I HAD TO FORK OUT A !!HEAP!! OF $$$$$ FOR REPAIRS THAT I COULDN'T RECOVER. FUNNY THING IS, BEFORE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, ANOTHER GENTLEMAN TOLD ME THESE YEARS OF DODGE TRUCKS HE HAD HEARD THEY WERE HAVING A LOT OF FRONT END TROUBLE. I'M SHOCKED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. IT SURE WOULD BE NICE TO BE REIMBURSED.

TWO ISSUES: 1: KNOCKING SOUND WHEN TURNING AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS. I'VE REPLACED BUSHINGS, LINKAGES, BALL JOINTS, AND NOTHING HELPED. I REPLACED WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES AND THE KNOCKING IS REDUCED, BUT NOT FIXED. SHOP OWNERS THAT DRIVE THE SAME TRUCK SAY THEY'VE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THEIR OWN VEHICLES AND CAN'T PINPOINT THE FRONT END NOISES EITHER. 2:VIBRATION UNDER THE VEHICLE, FROM THE TRANSFER CASE, THROUGH THE DRIVE SHAFT, TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. DIESEL SHOP SAYS IT'S A COMMON ISSUE FOR THE SEALS TO GET WORN OUT DUE TO IMBALANCED DRIVE SHAFT. HOWEVER, THE DRIVE SHAFT DIDN'T LOSE ANY WEIGHTS AND WAS FINE FOR THE FIST 90,000 MILES. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH DODGE ADAM 2500 AND 3500, ACCORDING TO THE SHOP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES, SO I HAD THEM REPLACED AND KEPT GOING TO DIFFERENT SHOPS, THINKING THAT SOME MAY BE BETTER AT BALANCING THAN OTHERS. THERE'S A DEFINITE VIBRATION BETWEEN 45-55 MPH AND THEN IT'S REALLY BAD AT 69-75+ MPH. IT'S BEEN GETTING WORSE FOR

I PURCHASED A VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2014. THE MILES WAS ADVERTISED AS 81,000. THE TITLE AND ALL OF THE PAPERWORK SHOWS 81,000. THE TITLE DOES NOT SHOW TRUE MILES UNKNOWN OR IT DOES NOT SHOW NOT ACTUAL MILES. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN COVINGTON, GA RAN A CARFAX REPORT OF THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2017 AND IT HAD DISCREPANCIES OF MILEAGE ROLLBACK. BASED ON CARFAX AND THE CALCULATIONS THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 330,000 PLUS MILES ON IT. I CAN NOT SELL THE TRUCK. I CAN NOT TRADE IT IN BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ROLLBACK. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I JUST FOUND OUT IN MAY 2017. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE OWNER WOULD NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE OWNER HAD ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES TO TELL ME THAT HE WILL NOT BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS AGAINST FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

HIGH BEAM AND OR LOW BEAM LIGHTS QUIT OR GO OFF FROM TIME TO TIME. DEALER SAID ITS A "TIPM" COMPUTER. AT A COST OF OVER $800.00 TO REPLACE OR $100.00 TO FLASH THE COMPUTER TO REPAIR? CAN ONLY BE FLASHED 3 - 4 TIMES BEFORE IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. ALL THE WIRING AND CONNECTIONS ARE GOOD. DEALER SAID IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF A FAULTY BULB AND BURNED OUT THE "TIPM" ? I DONT KNOW, BUT SOUNDS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS. IF LEFT UNCHECKED / REPAIRED IT WILL SLOWLY DISABLE ALL THE HEAD LIGHTS HIGH AND LOW, PLUS THE DAY TIME AND FOG LIGHTS. NOT FOR SURE WHEN IT STARTED AS I HAD JUST BOUGHT IT FROM A INDIVIDUAL, AND ONLY NOTICED IT WHEN SWITCHING FROM HIGH TO LOW BEAMS. THE TRUCK HAS 130,000 MILES. THEY SAY THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN TRAILER WIRES WERE INCORRECTLY ADDED? AGAIN THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE DODGES PULLING TRUCK BUT WITH NO $2.00 FUSES TO REPLACE, JUST AN $ 800.00 FIX? REALLY DODGE??

DEATH WOBBLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 50/60 MILES I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK SHAKES OUT OF CONTROL. THE TRUCK DOESN'T STOP SHAKING UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TIL ABOUT 30. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS, JUST TODAY I HIT A BUMP GOING ACROSS A BRIDGE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING DANGEROUSLY AND ANOTHER TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND ON THE SIDE OF ME. THE VEHILE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF ME HAD TO HIT THE SHOULDER BECAUSE WHILE MY TRUCK WAS SHAKING THE TRUCK WAS GOING IN THAT PERSONS LANE. I WAS SCARED OUT OF MY MIND, IT SEEMED THAT THE TRUCK JUST WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN WHILE I WAS ON MY BREAKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THESE TRUCKS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED CORRECTLY BEFORE A LIFE IS LOST OR SOMEONE HURT BADLY BECAUSE OF A FAULTY VEHICLE BY CHRYSLER/DODGE
