FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND NOW THE BATTERY IS DRAINING EASILY AND IT WILL NOT START UNLESS YOU SWITCH IT ON AND TAKE IT OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE FOR ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK IN PARK IT WILL START. I HAVE REVIEWED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER OWNERS. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER DEALER THAT IT MAY BE THE EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY BUT OTHERS WERE TOLD THAT TOO AND THEY STILL HAD THE SAME STARTING ISSUE AFTER PAYING A HUGE EXPENSE FOR THIS TYPE OF REPAIR.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE NOTICES REGARDING THIS RECALL STATE IT SHOULD "REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE AND WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME". WHO DEFINES "REASONABLE"? I RECEIVED THE MAILED NOTICE OF THIS S43/16V-352 ON MAY 24, 2016 AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE THE TRUCK ON SEVERAL TRIPS I WISHED TO TAKE BECAUSE OF THE UNCERTAIN SITUATION. MY TRUCK HAS SPENT ITS ENTIRE LIVE IN FLORIDA AND IS WITHIN THE TIME FRAME WHERE THEY STATE THE INFLATOR IS MOST LIKELY TO RUPTURE. I THINK WAITING OVER 6 MONTHS IS MORE THAN REASONABLE AND I WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST FCA FOR THIS LACK OF ACTION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING MY TRUCK, SO I JUMPED IT WITH A BOOSTER PACK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN AND WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN IT BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A FLASH FOR WCM THAT STATES FIXES INTERMITTENT START ISSUE AND REPROGRAMMED WCM. IT WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN AGAIN BEGAN HAVING ISSUES STARTING AGAIN. I READ ONLINE THAT IF I SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN TRY STARTING IT WILL WORK. THIS SEEMS TO WORK BUT IT IS ANNOYING AND I AM WORRIED IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED OR WORSE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

ENGINE
DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND MY ENGINE DIED. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE AND MY TRUCK CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE CRANKED, BUT WOULD NOT START. SOMEONE HELPED ME PUSH MY TRUCK OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANES (VERY RISKY FOR THEM AND FOR ME AS TRAFFIC WAS STILL MOVING, SWERVING AND CAUSING A BACK UP.) AFTER ABOUT TEN-FIFTEEN MINUTES, THE TRUCK STARTED AND I DROVE IT HOME. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND ON AND IT SEEMED OK. NEXT MORNING TRUCK WOULD NOT START, I SPRAYED STARTING FLUID IN AIR INTAKE AND IT TRIES TO START, SO I AM GUESSING FUEL PROBLEMS. TRUCK STARTED AFTER MUCH CRANKING, BUT DON'T TRUST IT, NOT SAFE TO GO ON FREEWAY AND CAUSE ANOTHER SCARY SITUATION. RESEARCH TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I DID NOT SUFFER ANY LOSSES, BUT MAY HAVE CAUSED OTHER ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE TRAFFIC BACK UP I CAUSED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TRUCK HAS QUIT FUNCTIONING 3 DIFFERENT TIMES (DAYS). ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND ENGINE. MOST TIMES IT IS STILL RUNNING BUT I CANNOT MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE. THE LAST TIME THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY AND I COULD NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE MADE REPAIRS BASED ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS WRONG, ONLY TO HAVE IT STOP EXACTLY THE SAME 4 OR 5 DAYS LATER. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS CONDENSER, OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND BATTERY CABLE, THE SECOND REPAIR WAS THE BRAIN. THIS THIRD TIME THEY HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND YESTERDAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM CODES WHEN ON COMPUTER. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT NOR SAFE TO DRIVE A TRUCK THAT JUST STOPS WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ON A WEBSITE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND HAVE FOUND 10 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH VERY SIMILAR VEHICLE PROBLEM. I AM LEAVING WORK EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS AND AM THANKFUL I AM NOT TRAVELING HOME DURING RUSH HOUR; I'D LIKELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE ALMOST $2000. AND STILL NO TRUCK. FIRST OCCURRENCE ABOUT 10NOV, 2ND OCCURRENCE ABOUT 16NOV, 3RD WAS 5DEC. *TR
