Vehicle warranty from Dodge not honored due to coming from Canada. Yet as I have just recently purchased a Ram truck from roy robinson Chevrolet in marysville wa two weeks after purchased vehicle would not stop when brake was pressed unless pumped Dodge would not cover warrenty on vehicle and roy robinson paid to repair master cylinder. Its been 1 moth and half and from time to time I still get the sensation of not stopping unless I pump brake. Now master transmission has issues wont get out of 5 the gear. So for a unsafe vehicle that now has been in an accident because of brakes and being 37500 miles a newer vehicle was allowed to be sold at new vehicle price. And still Dodge cannot tell me why after going thru customs and dot and epa. Why the warranty cant be continued. Im scarred to drive my truck that im paying for when it is unsafe what else will go wrong and why are these defective vehicles allowed in usa.

The ram1500 was being started and put in reverse then drive and it makes a grinding noise. Started getting worse and family members would notice the noise when leaving their homes. Then about 3 months ago (June 2015) we took it in to Dodge and they heard the problem and said they had contacted the engineers and just keep an eye on it. No fixing of any kind. Now every once in a while, as it shifts gears it clonks into gear. The transmission does not always shift properly. It stays in a gear longer than it should. You can hear the gears not properly shifting. The brakes on the truck dont seem to stop fast enough. Taking truck in for that next week.

I was driving home from work and the steering wheel started shaking and then the traction light came on. Before I could pull into a gas station the vehicle shut off on me. I turned the key and the car would not turnover. I had the vehicle towed to my house for the night and then to my mechanic the next morning. He could not diagnose the problem and that's when I had it towed to the dealer. It took them 2-3 days to diagnose the problem. What they found was a problem with the electrical system. This is how they stated it on the invoice: 29303 no start P0688 asd circuit fault, found fuse M19 blown- replaced and attempted to start- fuse blew again. Traced asd circuit. Found ignition coil #5 melted. Tested further, found #5 spark plugs fouled and circuit K16 shorted to ground. Replaced spark plugs, ignition insufficient ionization fault set dia as a PCM with internal driver fault caused by short, replaced and programmed PCM. This of course happened 5 days after my warranty expired, granted I did not even have 30,000 miles on the vehicle at the time.

While on my way to work traveling downtown in a busy and trafficky business district in which acceleration is vital, upon attempting to merge with traffic at general traffic speed the transmission stalls and I nearly get rammed from behind. Fortunately the driver behind me noticed it in time & though my vehicle did not completely stop, it stalled enough to have cause a serious accident. I had noticed the stalling before, but not so significant. I have talked with customer service at my dealership & they have scheduled me in for a service visit in the very near future. Having mechanical experience, I'm apt to believe that something is going awry in the power train. I just acquired the certified pre-owned vehicle a few months ago and it has less than 82000 miles. Hopefully my dealership will address the issue accordingly & fairly, guess I'll know soon enough.

When on A40 TO45 percent grade my truck transmission won't engage unless I rev to 2000 to 2500 RPM and when it does it bangs into gear. The dealership says they can not recreate the problem but it happens every time I put my boat in or take it out of the water.

The week of March 9th of this year, we took the truck in for transmission problem and wheel alignment to the local dealer: Frontier Dodge Chrysler Jeep 5801 spur 327 lubbock, tx 79424 the transmission was repaired. The service advisor told us that they will only fix the alignment after they receive the recall part# N49. Due to them having to realign it again after they repair N49. The steering wheel's position is off. The logo is tilted to the right. With that said, its now December and we have not received any calls from the dealer. They have not contacted us with any updates. We called in June and the service desk and were told that they didn't have our part yet. That was said even before we gave them our name. How did they know who they were talking to" after we identified the truck, they said that the part isn't in yet. The only reason that we are contacting you is due to the poor customer service that we received at the local Dodge dealer. And we understand that the recalls need to be done. The only problem is that its not getting don"T in a timely matter. The 2nd recall, with compartment fire, sounds like it could be a disaster. I don't even feel comfortable driving the truck especially having my family in it. I would really like a call or some sort of response to the above situation.

Vehicle was in automatic drive, not manual. All of a sudden the transmission dropped into 4th gear. I stopped, put the truck in park, and turned the vehicle off. Waited two minutes and turned the vehicle back on. Put the transmission into drive and it stayed in 4th gear and would not come out. Engine light did not come on until after vehicle was turned off and then back on. I disconnected the battery to try a reset and that did not work either. Computer reading stated shift solenoid malfunction. This occurred while driving on the highway with three kids in the truck.
