I have had nothing wrong with my 05 Hemi. Well if you do not count the door seals and a aftermarket gas cap (not DCs fault)

The Dodge has been the best one of the last four. The others were Fords. My last ford blew a transmision at 70,000 it had lots of front brake problems The one before that had lots of brake problems ,all in the front the Ford before that had lots of transmission problems Four trannys in one month .I'm not a hard driver I just wanted it to go forward once in a while.

Crappy Dodge dealer ( Tower Chrysler Calgary ) My 06 2500 4x4 hemi 5.7, 6sp no issues and I work it every day, I wish Dodge could use a better quality paint and thier are minor nit pick's I have with the truck, that I will improve on as my payments decrease.

Is the rattling sound coming from the back end?? My 03 was doing it when I bought it a yr ago. every bump i hit the thing rattled. I just chalked it up to being a big truck. I ended up getting the rear end replaced and the rattle went away. I'm not sure if it had something to do with the entire axle or diff. But it's gone.

well, it seems to me that it coming from where the bed is connected to the cab... yeah. a rattling sound. see, i just got my truck a month ago tomorrow. hm... ill check the dealer then. ill find out and let you know what the problem is so next time you hear about it youll know too!

I am curious to see why everyone I know is having front end issues. I just heard from a friend today that all 3 of his dodges have to have the front ends repaired...2-1500s and a 2500. They all have about 50k miles on em. I understand that vehicles will always have problems, if they didn't dealers and mechanics would make no money, but if it is a poorly engineered part I think Dodge should re-engineer the part and offer them as a recall.

The front end issues might have something to do with the truck really being too heavy for IFS... Should have a solid axel... but I digress...
Can't complain about the ride though!
My 03 got front-end work done very early in its life, and gave me MANY happy miles thereafter...

I bought my 06' Night Runner 5 months ago. I had a bad vibration at 65 mph after I had the tires rotated for the 1st time. I took it to the dealer and they told me from their roadforce test that all the tires were bad. Then they proceeded to tell me that I needed to take it to Goodyear for them to replace the tires. Well I got the run around and I took it back to the dealer. They suggest I call Goodyear to get it fixed. I did and I took it and they damaged my chrome cladd wheels. The dealer also screwed up one of my wheels and so they ordered a new one and screwed it up as well. The service department treated me like crap and they told me that there is nothing that they can do about it.

Does anyone have any suggestions or have you had a similar problem?
