STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING IN MY TRUCK WITH MY FRIEND ON SR 101. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 60 MPH. WE WENT AROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD OVER A CONCRETE BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT WHERE THE PAVEMENT CHANGED LEVELS. THE TRUCK JUMPED AND BEGAN VIOLENTLY VIBRATING AND FORCED ME INTO PASSENGER SIDE GUARD RAIL OF THE BRIDGE. THE VIBRATING CONTINUED UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROX 10 MPH. THE PROBLEM I THOUGHT WAS FIXED WITH NEW STEERING STABILIZER AND SHOCKS, A.K.A. THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WITH SKEPTICISM. HE KNEW OF NO RECALLS AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY RIDING IN THE TRUCK. I HAVE ESCAPED INJURY TO THIS POINT. THIS IS MY 1ST POSTING. PLEASE HELP. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A GRINDING SOUND, THEN STARTED JERKING RIGHT BEFORE IT ABRUPTLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. UPON GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRUCK AND HANGING DOWN ON THE ROAD. WE THEN TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH IT OFF OF THE MAIN ROAD WE WERE ON TO A SAFER SIDE ROAD. THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, IT HAS CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS PART OF THE SAFETY RECALL THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY DODGE. *TR

CHRYSLER SENT ME A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE N08/NHTSA 13V-038 IN APRIL OF 2013. THIS IS FOR TRUCKS WITH A 9.28" REAR AXLE IT STATES THAT THE PINION NUT MAY BE BUILT WITHOUT AN ADHESIVE PATCH ON THE PINION THREADS. THE LACK OF THIS ADHESIVE PATCH COULD ALLOW THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT TO LOOSEN AND/OR THE REAR DRIVESHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE REAR AXLE. A LOOSE PINION NUT COULD CAUSE THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE AND A SEPARATED DRIVESHAFT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. EITHER SITUATION COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATES THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT INFORMED THEM OF THE FIX NOT SUPPLIED THE PARTS. THEY ALSO STATED THAT CHRYSLER WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO. I WAITED A WHILE AND CALLED CHRYSLER IN MAY AND THEY HAD ME BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN INSPECTION AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED TIGHT AT THIS POINT TO WAIT FOR CHRYSLER TO COME UP WITH THE FIX AND CONTACT ME. TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME. *TR

ENGINE, STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FROM STATEMENT OF OPERATOR "WHILE PERFORMING ROAD MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES I WAS DRIVING UP A GRADE AT LOW SPEED WHILE IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND IN LOW GEAR. THE FIRST INDICATION OF A PROBLEM WAS A SUDDEN BURST OF SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD ACCOMPANIED BY THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT COMING ON. I TRIPPED THE HOOD RELEASE, WENT TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO OPEN THE HOOD. THE SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT PREVENTED ME FROM SAFELY LOCATING THE HOOD RELEASE. I THEN RETRIEVED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER FROM THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED IT THE BEST I COULD TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER EMPLOYEE RETRIEVED AN ADDITIONAL 2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS FROM ANOTHER FOREST SERVICE TRUCK AND APPLIED THEIR CONTENTS IN A SIMILAR FASHION. THE APPLICATION WAS INSUFFICIENT TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. OVER THE SUBSEQUENT HALF HOUR TO 45 MINUTES THE VEHICLE BECAME FULLY ENGULFED IN FIRE. THE SECOND OPERATOR SAID WHEN HE SEEN THE SMOKE HE RAN UP TO THE FRONT SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND COULD SEE FLAMES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND AT THAT TIME THEY TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE USING 3 5ABC FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. AFTER DEPLETING THE EXTINGUISHERS THEY MOVED BACK AND UNHOOKED THE ROCK RAKE THEY WERE PULLING AND WAITED FOR THE FIRE RESPONSE TO ARRIVE AT WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED. *TR
