This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.

Steering components broke when turning the truck around, this happened 30 miles up a Forest service rd. while out sightseeing. Had to be towed a long way ($1200) for the towing. and the steering repair for $1150.00, if this would have happened at speed when we were towing our camper it would have been terrible. This truck has no off-road usage other than for snow. Head light low beam on the drivers side stopped working, traced the wire back to the TIPM and there is no power coming out for this wire. Reading up on this issue it seems to be a very standard problem in 2006 and above trucks. This should be a recall item as it can cause serious problems when driving at night or in bad weather. I have seen that the Tipm has been recalled on only certain models, this makes no sense to me. There were no warnings on either of these failures. The TIPM headlight problem is in the Dodge shop now trying to be resolved, the steering was repaired at another shop as we were out of town.
After having almost my entire front end redone which would be the second time since July I continued to hearing a consistent popping when turning or when going over uneven surface, wandering and jolting all over the hwy and nobody could seem to figure out why. Well I was driving down the hwy today going about 65 my truck started to vibrate I could feel the popping under my foot and something detached itself and came up n hit my windshield. The wandering and jolting are now almost impossible to drive the truck I believe this has caused me many more other problems and has costed me excessive amounts of money. It should be fixed along with the many other issues it may have caused
Check engine light has gone on intermittently. Have had it checked with no reason for the code. No sign that it was the engine harness. Contacted dealership and they explained they couldn't look at it for 3 weeks. Brought it to another mechanic and replaced computer. a week later it damaged that computer. I called dealership and they again advised there wad no way to have it towed in for at least 3 weeks. Only 1 diesel mechanic present. Had diagnostics run again and was diagnosed as engine wiring harness. Engine wire harness has damaged 5 computers. While driving vehicle, it suddenly cuts off, with warning lights on, power steering will not work. There is no warning to this happening. It has happened several times on the road, but would restart while still rolling. Now, there are no replacement wiring harness available to purchase. This is only a 2007.
when driving at 55 mph truck will just die. if I am at a stop sign truck will die. Anytime it dies you can not restart the truck for at least one hour. The last time it die I was in the left lane of Shaw Ave going east to a doctors appt. It die I am handicap so I just can't push it out of the way. luckily the Clovis Fire was a couple of cars back and push me and the truck to a safe place. The TIPM was DIAG at Clovis Dodge the problem. This is the third time since 02/20 then in 11/20 now 6/15/21 . It die 6/13/21 where we almost got hit waiting for the tow truck. Haz lights do not work when this happens. Some one is going to get hurt. TIPM maybe under warranty but a warranty is not going to keep someone SAFE.
