STRUCTURE:BODY
WHEN MY VEHICLE WENT FOR INSPECTION THIS YEAR A HOLE AND CORROSION WAS DISCOVERED ON THE RIGHT SIDE BY THE REAR WHEEL IN THE CROSS MEMBER THAT CONNECTS THE RIGHT AND LEFT FRAME RAILS. THE FUEL TANK MOUNTING STRAP CONNECTS TO THE SAME CROSS MEMBER OF THE LEFT SIDE FRONT STRAP. I CALLED A DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. THEY SAID CORROSION WARRENTY WAS OUT. MY WIFE CALLED DODGE TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST ISSUE WITH CORROSION WE HAVE HAD. THE HOOD HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEN WE HAVE HAD LEAKS IN THE CAB AND OTHER ISSUES. THE TRUCK IS ONLY A 2012 AND IS NOT USED FOR CONSTRUCTION OR ABUSED. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND I TAKE CARE OF IT VERY WELL. INCLUDING HAVING IT DETAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS LOOKS LIKE IT IS A SPOT THAT WATER GETS IN AND LAYS THERE AND HAS NO WEEPING HOLE TO LET IT DRAIN OUT. IT IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT AND NOT NEGLECT .I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL RUST THROUGH AND BRAKE CAUSING SERIOUS FRAME DAMAGE AND POSSIBLY A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING

ENGINE
AFTER FILLING TRUCK, AND NOT TOPPING OFF, THE TRUCK ENGINE WILL "DIE" WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AFTER EVERY FILL-UP NOW. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THEN IT WILL RESTART. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT I HANDLE IT WELL. OUR DODGE CARAVAN DID THE SAME SAME THING IN 2016 AND DODGE REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, FILTER CANISTERS. IT CURED THE PROBLEM. I JUST CALLED DODGE AND THEY LOGGED MY PROBLEM BUT THAT WAS IT! ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT THROW A CODE BY THE WAY! CAN ANYONE HELP? THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, CITY STREET ETC. I HAVE A NEW ENGINE AND THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME AFTERWORDS. THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM ON TEST DRIVES.

ON 03/02/2018 ON OR ABOUT 3:15PM I WAS DRIVING MY PICKUP. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40MPH WHEN A HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM UNDER MY TRUCK MY REAR WHEELS THEN LOCKED UP AND I START SKIDDING OUT OF CONTROL.ONCE STOPED I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND SAW WHERE THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD SNAPPED AWAY FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I CALLED AAA AND WAS STUCK FOR MORE THAN THREE HOURS, BECAUSE THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS HANGING AND RESTING ON THE GROUND AND THE WHEELS HAD LOCKED UP.TWO ROLL BACK TOW TRUCKS WAS SENT OUT AT DIFFERENT TIMES TO MY LOCATION, BUT WAS UNABLE TO TOW ME BECAUSE OF THE WHEELS BEING LOCK. SO FINALLY AFTER A THREE HOUR WAIT A TOW TRUCK WITH A WHEEL LIFT WAS SEND OUT. THIS TRUCK WITH THE REAR WHEELS LOCKING UP IS VERY UNSAFE AND I WAS FEARFUL THAT I WAS ALMOST KILLED TODAY.
