POWER TRAIN
ON JULY 21, 2015 WHILE DRIVING ON I-40 NEAR NEWPORT TN. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE THAT CAME FROM MY 2011 DODGE RAM 3500 TRUCK. AFTER THE LOUD NOISE THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES AT ALL. MY FRIEND, WHO WAS DRIVING AND HAS CDL, GENTLY PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SAFELY PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF I-40. ONCE THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP A FIRE ERUPTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. A TENNESSEE STATE TROOPER SOON ARRIVED AND CALLED FOR THE NEWPORT FIRE DEPT WHO ARRIVED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. AFTER THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT ONE OF THE FIREMEN NOTICED SMOKE IN THE CAB. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION HE FOUND A HOLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL IN THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. THAT WAS THE LOUD BANG. THEY ALSO NOTICED A LOT OF METAL HANGING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK AND CONCLUDED THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DODGE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS IN NEWPORT. IT WAS 5 WEEKS BEFORE THEY EVEN LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AND THEN THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE LIKE NOTHING HE HAD EVER SEEN. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE DRIVE SHAFT FAILURE CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION OF EVENTS, IN A MATTER OF SECONDS THE FRONT DRIVE AXLES, THE TRANSFER CASE FOR THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE, THE MAIN DRIVE SHAFT, THE TRANSMISSION, AND POSSIBLY THE REAR END WERE DESTROYED. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER ON AUG 27TH AND THEY HAD AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR LOOK INTO THE MATTER. HIS FINDINGS STATED THAT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FLEW APART IT CRUSHED THE BRAKE LINES AND ALSO THE FLUID HITTING THE HOT EXHAUST WAS HOW THE FIRE WAS STARTED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE FRONT DRIVE AXLES PENETRATED THE FLOORBOARD ALLOWING SMOKE INTO THE CABIN. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER ON SEPTEMBER 18TH THAT STATES THEY " RESPECTFULLY DECLINE ANY ASSISTANCE" IN THE MATTER. THE TRUCK REMAINS AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIR.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR LOCK AND INTERIOR LIGHT DOES STOPPED WORKING OVER A YEAR AGO. I FIGURED IT WAS A SELONOID OR A LOOSE CONNECTION IN THE DOOR SO I PUT IT OFF. JUST RECENTLY 10/11/2015 I TOOK THE TIME TO TAKE THE DOOR APART AND CHECK ALL THE CONNECTIONS. I HAD POWER TO THE SPEAKER AND WINDOW AND NOTHING TO THE LOCK AND INTERIOR LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. SO I THEN CHECKED FOR LOOSE CONNECTIONS EVERYTHING GOOD. I THEN CHECKED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE DOOR AND I HAD A GOOD CLEAN CONNECTION. I THEN PULLED BACK THE RUBBER WIRE LOOM BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE DOOR AND I FOUND 4 UNEVENLY CUT WIRES. I DID NOT FIX THEM I LEFT THE CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED. THIS IS COULD BE A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT TO MENTION POTENTIALLY DEADLY FIRE HAZARD. SOME HOW THE LOOM IS CUTTING THE WIRES AND COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY AND OR DEATH.

I RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES. I HAVE SPENT HOURS TRYING TO WORK WITH CHRYSLER TO FIND A DEALERSHIP THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX AND ALIGN MY TOW TRUCK. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A DEALERSHIP WITHIN 145 MILES OF MY HOME. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT, THEY HAVE SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS THAT SELL MY TYPE OF TOW TRUCK..BUT NONE ARE ABLE TO SERVICE AND ALIGN MY TOW TRUCK. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE ADVISE. [XXX].

RECALLED IN JULY FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR WHICH COULD RUPTURE AND LEAD TO METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THIS IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA AND MY HUSBAND USES THIS TRUCK TO BUILD SWIMMING POOLS-LOTS OF DRIVING. THIS DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE, CALLED TO GET ON THE "WAITING LIST" 7/14/15. CALLED AGAIN TODAY, THEY TOLD ME IT "COULD BE MONTHS TO A YEAR" BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 1-2 PARTS PER MONTH.

I HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN WITH CONTROLLING MY DODGE PICKUP. WHILE TOWING A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE, I HIT A BUMP ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE SWAYING OF THE TRAILER. BUT NOW BEING VERY SENSITIVE TO THE EVENT, 1) I'VE RECALLED THAT IT HAS HAPPENED PRIOR TO PULLING THE TRAILER AND 2) RECENTLY HAPPENED AGAIN; ALSO NOT TOWING A TRAILER. THE FEELING IS THOUGH ONCE THE BUMP IS IMPACTED, THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING ARM AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AN IMMEDIATE FEELING OF LOSS OF CONTROL. WHEN TOWING THE TRAILER, I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY ROUNDING A CURVE JUST APPROACH A BRIDGE/GUARD RAILS WHEN I HIT THE BUMP. FOLLOW-ON INCIDENT OCCURRED IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. WHILE THE SPEED WAS SLOWER ON THE CITY STREET, THE MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL FEELING WAS NOTICEABLE ENOUGH TO CATCH MY ATTENTION AND CAUSED CONCERN.

STEERING
TRUCK IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND I PULL A HORSE TRAILER. VERY AFRAID OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF TOTAL STEERING CONTROL IS LOST WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY HORSES. IT WOBBLES AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 AND OVER AND FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO JUMP OFF THE ROAD OR INTO ANOTHER LANE ON HIGHWAY. I REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. SEEN MANY POSTS WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES AS MYSELF. I JUST WANT THE PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED. IT ONLY HAS 144,000 MILES ON IT. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A DEATH FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED??

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE HAD THE SO CALLED " DEATH WOBBLE" 4 TIMES NOW ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND I'M WAITING TO TAKE IT AGAIN TODAY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE FIXED IT EACH TIME BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVEN'T. OUT OF THE BLUE AT 60 TO 65 MPH THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT UNTIL IT STOPS ON IT'S OWN. HITTING THE BRAKES, LETTING OFF THE GAS OR FLOORING IT (AS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO DO) WHEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT LAST TIME DOESN'T HELP. I AM SO AFRAID THAT SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO HAVE THEM BY BACK THE TRUCK BUT THEY SAID IT HAS HAD THE RECALL DONE ON IT SO IT'S NOT ELIGIBLE. WELL WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING THEN.
