POWER TRAIN
THE DRIVE TRAIN FELL OFF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHILE TRAVELING 45 MPH. WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A FULL STOP BUT THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL ONTO THE STREET. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT P77 AND P81 AND WANTED THE CAR TOED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER. CHRYSLER CREATED A CASE # 26914713 AND NANCY (BADGE NG787) TOOK MY REPORT. I PAID TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM CHRYSLER ON THIS CASE NUMBER OR ANY REMEDY THEY PALN. PLEASE ADVISE, AS I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS MY TRUCK COMPLETLY SHUT OFF, I LOST POWER TO EVERYTHING, INCLUDING POWER STEERING. I HAD PREVIOUS HAD MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR PROBLEMS WITH MY FUEL PUMP STAYING ON AND LEARNED IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) WHICH CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND HAS RECALLS FOR SOME VEHICLES IN CERTIN STATES. THE SYMTOMS MY TRUCK IS HAVING IS THE SAME LISTED IN MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS, IE. VEHICLES RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF, FUEL PUMP STAYING ON AND DRAINING THE BATTERIES, AIR BAGS RANDOMLY DEPLOYING. AFTER RESEARCHING MULTIPLE FOURMS AND WEBSITE I FOUND ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO FAULTY PARTS AND EQUIPMENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED TRUCK AROUND MARCH 1, 2014 WITH 48415 MILES, ON MARCH 14,2014 WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE WITH A 4 HORSE TRAILER IN TOW WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, VEHICLE SHUTTERED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE STARTED TO PULL OVER THEN WE REGAINED POWER. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE PURCHASED IT FROM WHEN WE GOT TO OUR DESTINATION, THEY TOLD US TO POWER OFF FOR 15 MINUTES AND RESTART WITH THE REMOTE STARTER, THIS TOOK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED ON MAY 1, 2015, INTERSTATE WITH HORSE TRAILER IN TOW AGAIN. THIS TIME WE NOTICED THE FUEL DROPPED AND THE FUEL MILAGE INDICATOR STARTED FLICKERING, WE LET OFF THE FUEL PEDDLE AND REPRESSED REGAINING POWER, ABOUT 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE SHUTTER WAS HARDER, WE HAD TO TAP THE FUEL PEDDLE 2 TIME TO REGAIN POWER. WE NOTICE THE MILETOEMPTY WENT FROM 90 TO 60 WHEN IT HAPPENED. BOTH OCCASIONS WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING FOR ABOUT 100 MILES WITH ABOUT 30 OR 40 MILES BEING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70-75 MILE PER HOUR, WHEN THE PROBLEM ACCURED. BOTH TIMES WE COMPLETED OUR ROUND TRIP OF 600 MILES WITH WORRY!!!
