2005 Dodge 2500 Ram. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle ball joints, U joints and wheel bearing worn out and needed to be replaced. Also, the exhaust system rusted though and the right tie rod end fractured. The consumer recently received a recall notice, regarding the right front tie rod. However, when he called the about the recall, he was informed to send a copy of the invoice and Chrysler would pay for the previous repair. The consumer was then informed they would not pay for anything, unless mopar parts were used.
I purchased a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 cummins truck. There are horrible diesel oil fumes entering the cab from the engine compartment. I was first told by the dealer that it was due to the engine being new. After 15,000 miles I was told that they have an oil additive available to 'fix' the problem by making it smell better. My 9 month pregnant wife cannot ride with me. The fumes are horrible and are causing nausea, headaches, and possibly poisoning which I have no way to verify. The smell is so bad I am not sure what to do, but it is completely unacceptible and seemingly very dangerous and could be fatal in the winter months when the windows must be rolled up. I have researched this issue on several online forums and many people are having this issue with the 2003 and 2004 Dodge Ram cummins 2500 and 3500 trucks.
Consumer complained about fumes permeating the interior of the vehicle. The fumes were causing the occupants to suffer headaches, nausea, and drowsiness when the window was up.
