Problems with 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 EQUIPMENT

I was traveling north on highway 47 following a van and some other vehicles when all of a sudden everyone locked up and by the time i saw the vehicle in front of me hit the brakes i slammed on my brakes and slid into him damaging his rear panel doors and the front end of my truck. no airbag deployed either on the driver or passenger side of the truck that i was driving. it was raining at the time and the roads were saturated so stopping abruptly was out of the question still i tried, no one was injured in the crash however the very next day i experienced this very severe nose bleed that lasted about 15-20 non stop when it finally slowed to a trickle i went to the nearby hospital emergency room. we were traveling about 40-45 mph when the crash occurred and i'm curious as to why the bags didn't deploy. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. the contact was driving approximately 10 mph and attempting a turn when a portion of the cup holder fractured and caused the contact's drink to fall to the floor while the contact was driving. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer to see if the cup holder piece could be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 64,000.

I heard whine noise coming from my front wheel hubs on my 04 ram 1500 2wd with 73,724 miles in january of 2010. took to chrysler dealer and they confirmed hubs were loose and replace them both with aftermarket hubs part number 515072. 10 months later and approx 4000 miles on november 10, 2010 at 7 pm i was making a left hand turn in an empty lot going to an atm and felt and heard a pop then my right front end was on the asphalt. got out and found my wheel laying next to my truck with all lug nuts still in place. i inspected the damage and the wheel hub broke completely apart luckily i was going slow in a parking lot. my front right fender is damaged, the brake caliper snapped off the spindle and hub is in several pieces with roller bearings spread out over area that is just what i saw the may be more damage. called the dealer they sent a wrecker to get my truck and still waiting to see what is going to happen. they act like they don't now anything. *tr

While using a tire inflater the plugs into my cigarette lighter of my 2004 dodge ram 1500 the truck caught fire behind the dash. turns out the fuse did not blow heating the circuit until it started burning the plastic in the dash the fuse that was in the dash i purchased from harbor freight a couple of years ago i had not known there was a recall on the fuses. now what? *tr

2004 dodge ram 1500, v8, stalls when pressing brake and releasing, coming to a stop at an intersection. also stalls sometimes when moving at a low speed, has stalled two times while driving down the middle of the road. usually starts back up, there has been a couple times that it does not start up. last time i checked, it is very dangerous to have your vehicle stall while driving down the road, stopping at an intersection, or, going at a low speed. someone is going to be killed! and no one seems to know the fix to this. i have replaced the egr valve and the brake switch, neither have worked. dodge needs to own up and fix this problem. *tr

2004 dodge ram 1500 slt with hemi 5.7 engine - 61k miles. until now i have been very happy with the truck. it is a pleasure truck and has never hauled anything. i have done eveything to maintain the truck perfectly. i had the gsr valve replaced as the check engine light came on. ever since then the truck just quits and stalls and has left me in very dangerous condition. i am afraid to drive the truck now. when it stalls it will not start or even turn over and has to be towed - twice now in a week. after some time the truck starts and the mechanics have been unable to find anything wrong. this truck is dangerous and i am afraid to drive on any interstate. what can i do?? *tr

The turn signals, wipers, and high beams on my 04 dodge ram 1500 have been giving me issues for the last year. this started out as an intermittent problem and has gotten worse over time. at first it was just the turn signals. when i would signal left the right blinker would come on, or visa versa. then sometimes it would work fine, and other times it would not come on at all. it's gotten worse over time and now i am at the point where only when i signal left will the right signal come on; nothing else works. my hazard switch at one time would work the left signal, and the left clicker would work the right signal but now that does not work either. at this point my hazard switch and left clicker now only work the right blinker and i have no way to work the left. as for the high beams, sometimes i am un-able to disengage them which is very dangerous for on-coming traffic. at this point i do not risk it and just don't use them, which can be dangerous to myself at some times. the wipers have a mind of their own. sometimes when i have them on full speed/fast in heavy rain they will all of a sudden reduce to the lowest or middle setting. sometimes they will just not turn on at all. i almost got into a major accident because of this and now just avoid driving in the rain if at all possible. *tr

The right front wheel assembly broke free from vehicle while driving at 40mph nice straight road st 933 going from notre dame to niles michigan. the assembly rotor calipers lug nuts suspension and rim with tire. as the assembly rolled under the truck is caused me to go airborne this happened at 1:30pm on a beautiful day. 08/25/09. after the truck came to a stop i got out and could not believe what just happen. it was just a matter of minutes before the state police arrived. his first question was am i ok do i need medical attention. his second q uestion where is the other vehicle i told him there is none. question 2 where is the rest of the truck. i said i do not know. my insurance is bent on getting the truck auction off trying to recoup some of there money. i got on your homepage and found a recall notice campaign id number 04v221000 affecting 6183 vehicles. the truck sits at copart salvage case exp.0001961. i also called the manufacture they said it must have gotten lost in the mail. thew recall was in 2004 two months after purchase of the truck they offered no help. what is there was some traffic that day there would have been many deaths including myself. *tr

Have had problem with abs light coming on, and more frequently engine coming to a stall when stopping, believed to being brought on by rapid stopping with abs system activating. have had problem "fixed" twice already -- moisture in c.a.b wiring, water damage several inches into harness with subsequent corrosion, currently in shop being fixed for the 3rd time. ..the engine stalling just started happening within the last 2 months however. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 dodge ram 1500. the contact stated that the door label has incorrect tire information. when the vehicle was taken to the mechanic, they did not know how much air to put in the tire due to the incorrect label. the label reads p245/20r17, but should read p27560/r20. this issue is similar to nhtsa recall # 04v221000 (equipment:other:labels). daimler chrysler stated that nothing could be done. the current mileage is 50,000 and failure mileage was 45,000. updated 02-01-08. *kb

At around 8:00 am on october 12, 2006, there was a spontaneous combustion from the driver's dashboard of my 2004 dodge durango while it was parked in the garage (not even turned on). this incident nearly burned our condo unit which was above the garage and endangered my wife and kids who were still sleeping. luckily, my wife awoke and called 911 (incident report #2006-6223247-000 ccfd clark county). after several communications with chrysler dodge, they sent an "investigator" only after 4 days to take pictures; they sent us a letter saying it was not a factory defect and they were not responsible for the damage. when asked what could have been the possible cause -they said they didn't know (?!?). we then consulted and asked help from the dealership (integrity dodge, lv,nv -since we got the vehicle only a year ago and is still under warranty and that it was our only car) they said the same thing and insist we contact our insurance. we asked them why we should use our insurance when there was no accident because the car was just sitting in the garage? besides, if the insurance company were to reimburse us it would be very much below what we owe our bank and would also charge us a deductible. honestly, my family is having such a hard time with what happened and especially when we are also a little tight on our finances since my wife is not working because she is taking care of our 8 year-old daughter and 6 month-old baby; and i just started on a new job. as of now we can't afford fancy lawyers or hire private investigators to scrutinize the cause of the fire -so we don't have anybody on our side. hoping you can help us and thank you very much for your time. *nm

I was driving my truck when i had a flat tire and was stranded. i put my spare tire on and drover to my house. i then had a inspection of the tires to find the front tires were showing signs of underinflation and wear on the outer edges. the rear tires including the one that went flat were showing signs of overinflation, wear in the middle of the tire. i called daimler chrysler customer support on two occasions(case #14711417) and informed them that the tire inflation label in the door jam on the driver side of the vehicle, the same on the dealer and handbook refer you for quick reference. it stated the vehicle came with p245/70r17, as per the vehicle information report from the dealer states that the vehicle came with p275/60r20. the p275/60r20 size wheels are currently on the vehicle and came with them from the factory. daimler chrysler does not want to pay for the tires and the vehicle is still under warranty. they state that its goodyears responsibility to replace the tires, when they installed the wrong tire pressures label on the vehicle. *nm

Two years ago i totaled a dodge ram 1500 srt-10. only days before the wreck that could have taken my life, i purchased new tires for that vehicle. laden with company supplies, the rear end of the vehicle suddenly spun out of control at 65 mph. i flipped 8 times, landing on the roof 3 times and was lucky to walk away. as i mentioned, it has been two years since this accident. why is it now i become, by my own merits,aware of the nhtsa recall affecting that exact issue. the failure of the responsible company to notify me of this document recall, however slight, could have cost me my life. the ensuing financial repercussions from that accident will never be remedied. i was found at fault for the accident and it makes me furious and sad that no one ever mentioned the possibility of my innocence within this information. *tr

My dodge ram with the 5.7 (hemi) engine stalls without warning. examples include stop lights, and driving conditions ranging from 20-65mph. dodge serviced the vehicle but the problem still remains. the most recent event was 5/18/05. i am awaiting word on the current condition of my truck from the dealership...rem

My 2004 dodge ram 1500 w/5.7 hemi has stalled on me twice for no apparent reason. for some reason, i had a hard time getting it to start prior to it stalling on both occassions.

Warped rotors at 9,000 and the front end jumps all over the road making it very dangerous to steer, the dealer resurfaced rotors and then at 13,000 miles it is happening again. we have complain several times about this and got no wear. now that our warranty is up i guess we get stuck replacing the rotors after paying 35,000.00 for our dodge, we are looking for a smaller suv also and will probably not buy another dodge, chrysler,product again. never had this problem with our tahoe @ over 60,000 miles.i think this is unfair to consumers! please help investagate this matter. p.s. i seen a adv.for dodge 2500 and it said largest brakes in class that is a joke!*ak

Consumer purchased material that was not indicated on the door or window sticker telling the consumer the correct tires. also, tire pressure was not correct for this vehicle. consumer contacted the manufacturer, and was told that was the way we do it. *ak
