POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK WAS SUBJECTED TO RECALL P77 WHICH IS THE PINION NUT RECALL. I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE APPROXIMATELY A WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY (SPEED LIMIT IS 70MPH) TRAVELED ABOUT 5 MILES WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF THE TRUCK. I PROCEEDED TO GO AND TRAVELED ABOUT 1/2 MILE AT 25MPH WHEN THE PINION NUT CAME LOOSE CAUSING THE REAR END TO LOCK UP AND FISH TAIL. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS INJURED BUT SCARY NON THE LESS. IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! CHRYSLER PAID FOR ALL OF THE NECESSARY REPAIRS WHICH INCLUDED A COMPLETE HOUSING AND COMPLETE CARRIER INCLUDING RING AND PINION. WHAT CHRYSLER DIDN'T PAY FOR WAS A RENTAL CAR. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED ON MY OWN, BUT I DIDN'T. THERE WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE DO TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RENTAL AS WELL. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE 'BUMP' ASSOCIATED WITH AN OVERPASS EXPANSION JOINT ON HIGHWAY I-515 INDUCED 'DEATH WOBBLE' INTO THE TRUCK CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. THE LOSS OF CONTROL ALMOST CAUSED AN IMPACT WITH OTHER VEHICLES THAT WERE CLOSE. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURE WILL ASSIST IN CORRECTING THE ISSUE. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THAT INSTALL THE 'UPGRADED' LINKAGE PACKAGE CURES THIS MOST OF THE TIME (FOR $1,600.00). THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOW SAFETY ISSUE THAT NHTSA AND DODGE ARE DUCKING. DODGE UPGRADED THE LINKAGE IN 2009 AND TOTALLY REDESIGNED THE SYSTEM IN 2014. THE VEHICLE IS ALL ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. HELP. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
IN JULY 2014, TRAVELING ALONG A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, WE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE ROAD. SCARED THE ENTIRE FAMILY AS WE GOT OUT TO SEE IF WE HAD A TIRE FAILURE. NOTHING SEEMED OUT OF THE ORDINARY. CONTINUED ON THE VACATION AND HAD IT OCCUR 3-5 MORE TIMES WHILE IN THE TRUCK. WHILE ON VACATION, HAD THE STEERING DAMPER(STABILIZER) AND ROTATED THE TIRES BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. UPON RETURN HOME, TOOK IT TO A NON-CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AS THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER WAS 3 WEEKS OUT ON GETTING THE TRUCK IN. THEY REPLACED BOTH UPPER AND LOWER TIE RODS JOINTS, WHEEL BEARINGS AND ALIGNED THE VEHICLE. $2000 APPROXIMATE COST PLUS THE STEERING STABILIZER AND NO FIX. TOOK THE TRUCK ON ANOTHER EXTENDED TRIP ON 4/3 AND HAD IT OCCUR AGAIN. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER DEALER TODAY (4/6), THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK AND ADVISED ME TO BRING IT IN WHICH I WILL DO NEXT WEEK. IT STILL HAS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL OUT ON IT. ALL PREVIOUS RECALLS HAVE BEEN INSPECTED BY CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTERS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I FEAR THAT ALLOWING THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY DANGERS NOT ONLY ME AND MY FAMILY BUT OTHER MOTORISTS TRAVELING NEAR US. *TR
