Radio in truck stays on while truck is off and the keys are not in the ignition for long periods of time. Makes a dinging sound when the door is opened when the truck is off and keys are out of the ignition. Doors won't lock with the key battery opener during hot temperatures outside. The truck is stationary during these times and has happened several times. Unknown.

Steering tie inner and outter rods, stabilizing bar and ball joints, recalled on exact same model but year 2008. Would not cover, cost us $1800 to repair last year. Today, gas tank strap rusted and gas tank dropped out, again recalled for same make and model 2008 to present, ours is 2007. Cost to repair $354.90 plus $75 tow. I can provide bills if necessary. Dodge should pay for these obvious manufacturing errors. Below is most recent of these recalls that miss our's by 1 year. A fire marshall happened to notice gas tank hanging minutes before getting on freeway. First, happened as left house and could not steer truck. Just lucky neither were on a freeway.

My pickup that is 14 years newer than another vehicle I own does not have heat on the floor. I choose feet on the selector and all the heat comes out of the defrost. I have researched this on the internet and found many other people and years of trucks with the same problem. When I talked to the dealership, they laughed and said that they fix at least one of those problems a week. Not to mention, at $1000 to fix it. But funny enough, the part only cost less than $20. The safety concern is that a person will not be able to defrost their windshield in the event that there parts fail at a time of need. I'm not going to give up on this issue, please think about the issue and consider a recall. Thank you

The blend door actuators that control where the heating or cooling is directed, or determining hot or cold, are faulty and fail at no particular time. This can cause no heat to defrost windows which ultimately will lead to vehicle accidents. The Dodge dealership I spoke to about the issue laughed at me and commented that they fix at least 2 trucks per week with this issue, costing approximately $1000. The part to fix the issue cost under $20 each, but the entire dash must be pulled out of the vehicle to perform the repairs. If you research this issue, like I have, you will see this issue has been happening since about 1996. I have filed a complaint before and I am going to continue to do so until someone holds Chrysler responsible for their actions. When the issue happened to me, I was driving in the Sierra Nevada mountains in a snow storm and could not see out the windshield, but my feet were real toasty. Not a lot of help when your windshield is covered in snow and ice. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Engine will cut off during driving. Stalls. I replaced battery and no one knows why it cuts off and stalls this has happened multiple times. Sometimes if you disconnect the battery it may start. Lock and unlock the remote control. Or just sat and wait or have it towed home. Midway driving it will shut off the engine for no reason. Doesn't matter if the fuel is full or low.
