STEERING
MY 2012 RAM 3500 IS SUBJECT TO THE BUYBACK COURT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. MY PROBLEM IS THAT I WISH TO PROCEED WITH THIS OPTION TO HAVE MY DEFECTIVE RAM SOLD TO THE BUYBACK BUT OVER THE LAST 15 MONTHS OF JUST TRYING TO PROCEED THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS 100% CORRUPT, CROOKED, FRAUD , CRIMINAL MISCONDUCT AND I WISH TO PROCEED NOW STILL UNABLE TO HAVE ANYONE HELP OR ASSIST WITH MY TRUCKS BUYBACK, YES IT'S STILL MY DAILY DRIVER AND I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THIS CLASS ACTION COURT SETTLEMENT IS AND WAS A TOTAL SCAM ,FAKE ,FRAUD , PRESS PLEASER YET CROOKED AREA PERIOD AND I AM SO SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT I CALLED EVERYONE FROM CRYSLER ,FIAT , DODGE ,RAM THE DEALERS EVERYONE AND ALL SAID SAME TO MY DESIRE TO PURSUE MY BUYBACK RIGHTS ( WE DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING OF HOW THIS WORKS OR HOW TO PROCEED WITH REPURCHASE . ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE I CALLED TO INCLUDE HE VERY NAMES LISTED UNDER THE SETTLEMENT AND ALL REMAIN UNKNOWLEDGED TO HOW THIS WORKS. TALK ABOUT MAJOR CORPORATE SCANDALS BUT MORE CRIMINAL INTENT IS WHY IS THERE NO ONE ANSWERING TO THE COURTS OR SETTLEMENT OF SATISFACTORY BUYBACKS ..? I KNOW WHY SADLY. TYPICAL GOVERNMENT,CORPORATE CORRUPTION!!! IT'S NOW FEBRUARY 2017 TWO YEARS FROM THE BUYBACK COURT ORDER AND WELL I STILL HAVE MY UNSAFE RAM 3500 WHICH NOW IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE YET HOW IRONIC NO ONE HAS A DAM CLUE OF HOW OR WHAT TO DO WITH THIS AGREEMENT. I PLAN TO TAKE THE WHOLE INVOLVED SYSTEM TO COURT TO ANNOUNCE WORLDWIDE OF THIS MAJOR CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD APROX A MILLION VICTIMS AS THEY ARE ALL TOSSED TO GUTTER THE DAY AFTER THE BIG PRESS ANNOUNCED THIS HUGE BUYBACK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE STARTED ACTING UP A FEW TIMES WHEN I WOULD GO TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER AND THEN STALL OUT. I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE, BUT CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN ICE AND SNOW PACKED ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT; LOST ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES LOCKED UP, LIGHTS SHUT OFF, AND I ALMOST ENDED UP REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME GOING 45 MPH. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE WIN MODULE NEEDED REPLACED ALONG WITH THE KEY FOB ($725) THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS A RECALL! IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO IT BEING MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK LESS THAN A YEAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN PLUGGING SOMETHING INTO DRIVER SIDE OUTLET, THE TRUCK STALLED. IF I WERE IN A SITUATION WITH MOVING TRAFFIC, THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, LITTLE BY LITTLE THE LOCKS AND WINDOW BUTTONS HAVE STARTED TO FAIL. IF I WERE IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEEDED TO QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE OR REMOVE MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY THREAT. ALSO, I PERSONALLY FEEL UNSAFE KNOWING THAT I COULD NOT QUICKLY LOCK MY DOORS OR SHUT MY WINDOWS IF I WERE BEING ATTACKED.

ENGINE
TRUCK HAS 84K MILES AND SUDDENLY HAS P0303 CODE FOR MISFIRE. IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO MECHANIC. SO FAR VALVE AND LIFTER HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXHISTS. MOST LIKELY A WORN DOWN CAM LOBE FROM THE BAD LIFTER, SO NOW IM WITHOUT A VEHICLEFOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS THAT I STILL OWE 20K ON. I CANT BELIEVE THE PARTS QUALITY AND ENGINEERING ARE SO POOR THAT THIS TRUCK DOESNT EVEN HAVE 90K ON IT. TO TOP IT OFF, THE MANUFACTURER HAS STATED THERE ARE THOUSANDS ON BACK ORDER WHICH TELLS ME THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I HAVE COME ACROSS MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS STATING THEY HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH SUCH LOW MILES AND IRONICALLY OUR TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. AFTER HITTING AN ELEVATION BUMP WHERE A BRIDGE AND MAIN HIGHWAY JOIN THE STEERING IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SHIMMY VIOLENTLY. LOSS OF CONTROL WAS POSSIBLE. I BELIEVED I HAD A BLOWOUT OR STEERING LINKAGE FAILURE. I PUT ON THE 4 WAY FLASHERS AND MANAGED TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE SHIMMY DISCONTINUED AFTER I SLOWED BELOW 40 MPH.. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A DISASTROUS AND EVEN FATAL SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE IS SOMETIMES USED TO TOW A 5TH WHEEL RV. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE" INFORMATION I FOUND ON LINE. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND UNACCEPTABLE!! I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT THE TIME.
