SERVICE BRAKES
THE REAR HARD BRAKE LINE MOUNTED ON THE FRAME RAIL BEHIND THE FUEL TANK WAS SEVERELY RUSTED IN AN AREA ABOUT 4 INCHES LONG THAT COULD NOT EASILY BE VISUALLY INSPECTED (HIDDEN BEHIND THE FUEL TANK). THE HARD BRAKE LINE RUPTURED AT THE RUSTED AREA WHICH COMPROMISED 100% OF THE BRAKING POWER FROM THE PEDAL. SOME QUICK RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. MANY SUGGEST THIS WARRANTS A PRODUCT RECALL DUE TO THE DANGEROUS AND CRITICAL NATURE OF THE VEHICLE SUBSYSTEM IN QUESTION: BRAKES. I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE ... I HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A TRIP THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS IN TENNESSEE WITH A FULL LOAD IN THE TRUCK BED AND PULLING A MOTORCYCLE TRAILER. THE RUPTURE OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE I WAS AT A FULL STOP!

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2003 DODGE RAM IS FALLING APART. IT HAS TO MANY CRACKS TO COUNT AND PIECES ARE FALLING OFF THE DASH AND INTO MY LAP WHILE DRIVING. I AM SCARED THAT THESE CRACKED PIECES WILL FALL OFF AND PUNCTURE MY SKIN AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO MY HEALTH. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THEY TELL ME ITS TO BAD THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT IS TO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO REPLACE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTIONS WHEN I GET INJURED BY FLYING DEBRIS CREATED BY CHRYSLERS INFERIOR PRODUCT!

THE DASH IN MY 2003 DODGE RAM 3500 HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE TRUCK HAD 95,602 MILES AT THE TIME. LOW MILEAGE FOR THE MODEL BUT I ONLY LIVE 3 MILES FROM MY JOB. I USE A SUNSCREEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS NOT IN USE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS SUN DAMAGE. NOW LITTLE PIECES OF PLASTIC, FOAM AND FIBER LOOKING MATERIAL ARE BEING SPEWED FROM AIR VENTS. I THINK IT IS FROM THE DETERIORATION OF THE DASH. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THIS DASH AS THE DETERIORATION IS THROUGH NO FAULT OF MINE AS I HAVE GIVEN REASONABLE CARE TO THE TRUCK. I ALSO FEAR THAT IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, I OR MY PASSENGERS COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED BY THE DAMAGED DASH FLYING INTO SHRAPNEL.

NEARLY A YEAR AGO, I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM RAM OF A RECALL ON A REAR AXLE PINION NUT. THEY SAID THAT THE NUT COULD LOOSEN DUE TO UNDERSIZED PINION SHAFT SPLINES, POSSIBLY CAUSING THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE OR CAUSE THE DRIVE SHAFT TO SEPARATE, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN I CALLED A LOCAL DEALER IN REGARDS TO THE RECALL NOTICE, THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE REQUIRED PART TO REMEDY THE RECALL AND THAT THEY MAY RECEIVE THE PART IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014. I WAITED UNTIL OCTOBER TO CALL AND SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY STILL DIDN'T HAVE IT. NOW IN MAY 2015, I'VE RECEIVED BETWEEN 4-5 MORE NOTICES SINCE THE FIRST AND I TRIED TO GET THE PART FIXED OR REPLACED AND THE DEALER STILL DOESN'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I ASK YOU THEN NHTSA, WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT IN HAVING CAR MANUFACTURERS SEND NOTICES LIKE THESE OUT TELLING CONSUMERS TO GET THE PROBLEMS FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER WHEN THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE?! WHAT IS YOUR FIX TO FIX THE CAR MANUFACTURERS AND LOOK OUT FOR CONSUMERS AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY?!

I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART.IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS SINCE THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE THEN THEY SEND ANOTHER ONE AND STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS.WHAT GOOD IS A RECALL OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURE DOES NOT SUPPLY THE PARTS! I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM AND MADE A REPORT BEFORE ABOUT THE TRUCK NOT STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN.THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE STICKS AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.
