Driver side rear passenger interior door lock and interior light does stopped working over a year ago. i figured it was a selonoid or a loose connection in the door so i put it off. just recently 10/11/2015 i took the time to take the door apart and check all the connections. i had power to the speaker and window and nothing to the lock and interior light doesn't come on when the door is open. so i then checked for loose connections everything good. i then checked the connection between the cab and the door and i had a good clean connection. i then pulled back the rubber wire loom between the cab and the door and i found 4 unevenly cut wires. i did not fix them i left the connector disconnected. this is could be a extremely dangerous not to mention potentially deadly fire hazard. some how the loom is cutting the wires and could result in severe injury and or death.
The whole truck began shaking so violently, i thought i may loose control, or the truck would not stay upright. the shaking continued until i stopped on the shoulder. a careful inspection revealed no evidence of loose parts. i drove another 30 minutes (5 on freeway, 25 on surface roads) without another incident. baffling. i have driven this diesel truck in many conditions and on many surfaces with this truck. vibrations have been strong sometimes in the past, set off by "wash-boards" in the pavement...seem to be worse in the "tractor trailer/slow" lanes. but this event was 2-3 x the intensity. *tr
The driver's side floor mat keeps coming unhooked from the hooking device installed in the carpet. the floormat and the hooking device were both replaced at approx. 7000 mile because of this problem. it has now become a problem again and the dealer advises that chrysler will not correct the problem again. i have contacted chrysler by e-mail and they want me to go to another dealer and see if they will correct it. the next closest dealer is 28 miles away and my truck gets about 14 mi. per gal. i feel like chrysler is giving me the run around. my 2009 ram 2500 only has 12,400 miles on it. why can't chrysler take care of this problem rather than trying to make another dealer take care of it? *tr
