Pulling off a roadway making a right turn, truck stalled, cant turn steering wheel without the engine running! extremely dangerous!!! restarted it, very hard to start like it was out of time.after restart, drove about two miles, and the engine light came on and dinged the warning chime. Continued to flash engine light. Had the engine light code read and the problem is # 5 cylinder misfire. Worn lifter or camshaft.this issue should not happen on a truck with perfect maintenance! at 125,000 miles.

On 5/30/2017 we had the rear end replaced on my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 by the dealer in ocean NJ. I explained to them before the work was done that there was a recall on the pinion bearing that I just had done previously. I explained that was more than a coincidence that the rear end would happen to go and was not damaged before recall was discovered. They decided they I would have to pay for labor and they would pay for the parts, which cost me $1032 and they paid $727. This rear end problem was all over social media, blogs and forums about people having same issiue. I was also never told about buyback program that was announced, and when I asked dealer they said to me that the 2011 Dodge was not included in the program which was not true at all.

While in motion the vehicle started a loud growl noise, it was hesitant to advance, it felt like something was dragging from the back wheels and struggle to keep moving forward, I was driving around 40 miles per hour. I could stopped, park on a side street and had a mechanic come and check it. It was determined that the rear axle bearing clenched, the advice was not to drive the vehicle anymore as it represented a safety hazard.

Takata recall, I have received a letter in the mail stating I needed my airbag replaced but after notifying the service department I was told that I do not have any active recalls at the present time. The rear of my vehicle has been making noise for some time despite also being told there is no recall on the specific year that I have purchased. Last but not least there is a constant battle with the rear suspension of the vehicle. This particular vehicle have upper and lower mount bars but the rubber gives away in the part which causes a sway that makes you loose control traveling over 50mph without towing a load. I have been reduced to not using this vehicle on the expressway. Also to date the transmission has been given a full overhall as of last year. At the time there were 120,000 miles on the power train
