problem #3

It's a common problem yet they haven't recalled anything. It cost about $900 to fix the door flap from the quote I received. Along with that my dashboard is cracked in several places and that is a common thing I read on this site also.

Then there is the problem with the heads cracking around the valve seat dumping coolant into the chamber seizing the engine and bending rods as well. This was $8000 to fix out of my pocket. This is a common thing also. Mine happened 2000 approximate miles out of warranty go figure. Now the right rear window and door speaker stopped working, like really what next DODGE! Never again, never.

My defroster stops working and now I have to pay $935 to have my entire dash removed to replace a $200 part...Insane!!

Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 87,000 miles

Defroster doesn't work...safety hazard. Worse dash is cracked all up and it sounds by reading other complaints that Dodge won't fix the issue unless you replace the entire dash.
