I HAD PUT MY 2012 RAM 1500 INTO PARK AND WALKED UP THE SIDEWALK, HAPPENED TO LOOK OUT AND IT WAS MOVING AND I RAN TO GET INTO IT TRYING TO STOP IT FROM HITTING OR CRASHING INTO SOMETHING. I DIDN'T GET TO IT IN TIME AND I GOT PINNED BETWEEN THE VEHICLE AND THE HOUSE CAUSING ME TO BREAK MY TAILBONE AND PELVIS IN TWO PLACES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND HAD SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THIS IS LIKE THE 4TH ONE HE HAS FIXED DO TO IT POPPING OUT OF GEAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE TRUCK STALLS AT IDLE OR LOW SPEEDS AFTER REFUELING. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE TRUCK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED AS I AM ENTERING OFF-RAMPS AND PROCEEDING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. THE PROBLEM IS THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VALVE IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT LIQUID FUEL FROM ENTERING THE CHARCOAL CANISTER/EMISSIONS SYSTEM. WHEN THE VALVE FAILS, LIQUID GAS CAN ENTER THE LINE AND FILL THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. AFTER REFUELING, THE PCM ON THE VEHICLE DETECTS A CHANGE IN FUEL LEVEL. THEN, WHEN THE ENGINE MEETS CERTAIN TEMPERATURE AND DRIVING CRITERIA, THE PCM ISSUES A PURGE COMMAND TO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER TO REMOVE THE STORED GAS VAPORS. IT?S AT THAT POINT THAT ALL THE LIQUID GAS IN THE LINE GETS SUCKED INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THE PCM EXPECTS TO SEE GAS VAPORS ENTERING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND IT IS PREPARED TO ADJUST AIR/FUEL MIXTURES TO COMPENSATE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT PREPARED TO SEE LIQUID GAS COMING INTO THE INTAKE. THAT?S WHAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. CHRYSLER DOES NOT SELL THE VAPOR/LIQUID VALVE AS A SEPARATE UNIT. ONCE THE TANK IS REPLACED AND THE CHARCOAL CANISTER PURGED, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL-KNOWN TO CHRYSLER ACROSS A BROAD RANGE OF VEHICLES, INCLUDING PICKUPS, MINIVANS AND SUVS. CHRYSLER SETTLED WITH COMPLAINANTS ON SOME MODELS AND YEARS BY AGREEING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO LIFETIME, BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OUTSIDE OF THOSE VEHICLES. I AM LOOKING AT A $1,300 REPAIR BILL FOR A KNOWN DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE PART, THE REPLACEMENT FOR WHICH CHRYSLER REFUSES TO SELL SEPARATE FROM THE GAS TANK ITSELF. I WOULD BE DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY PROVIDE. *TR

WHEELS
DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND TRUCK STARTED TO CHIME FOR A LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND FOUND THE VALVE STEM WAS INSIDE THE TIRE. I TOOK THE TIRE OFF THE RIM AND FOUND THE NUT THAT HOLDS THE TPS SENSOR IN THE TIRE OR THE VALVE STEM NUT WAS BROKE. I LOOKED AT THE OTHER TIRES ON MY TRUCK AND ALL OF THE NUTS ON THE TPS SENSORS ARE CRACKED. THIS NOW IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ROUGHLY A YEAR. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SERVICED AT A TIRE SHOP AND NOW IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I KNEW WHAT IT WAS RIGHT AWAY AND SERVICED IT MYSELF. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH IN THE CENTER LANE OF VERY HEAVY FREEWAY TRAFFIC WHEN MY TRUCKS 4-WHEEL LOW LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED TO FLASH AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER, MY TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND MADE A LOUD CRUNCHING GRINDING NOISE AND WITHIN SECONDS MY TRUCK HAD SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH. I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW IN A PANICKED STATE OF MIND NOT KNOWING WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED, I SOMEHOW WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, GOT MY TRUCK ACROSS THE LANES OFF TRAFFIC AND OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. MY TRUCK WAS NOW STUCK IN 4 WHEEL LOW. I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND 10 MILES HOME WITH THE TRUCK IN THIS CONDITION, DRIVING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH MY FLASHERS ON. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO MY DODGE DEALER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE TRUCK MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING IT TO SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL LOW. NUMEROUS TRIPS BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN, HAS MADE ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ABOUT DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON THE FREEWAY. TWO YEARS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. CHRYSLER SPECIALISTS SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. BESIDES BEING A HAZARD TO DRIVE IT IS COSTING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND THEY NEVER FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A WARRANTY ISSUE THAT THEY ARE REFUSING TO HONOR. THE COMPONENT THAT FAILED IS THE DRIVE TRAIN, THE TRANSFER CASE TO BE EXACT.

AFTER GETTING OFF WORK AROUND 11:30 P.M. I WENT TO GAS UP AT A CHEVRON STATION. I LEFT THE STATION AND WENT TO THE ATM. AFTER LEAVING THE ATM I GOT BACK INTO MY VEHICLE IT CRANKED, WENT DEAD AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN . I HAD THE TRUCK TOW TO A SHOP AND ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE VALVE FELL FROM THE ENGINE . NOW ACCORDING TO MECHANIC THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE ONLY MAJOR TROUBLE I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE IS GETTING SPARK PLUGS. IF THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THEN MY 2014 DODGE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED WILL DO THE SAME TIME. *TR

DURING IDLES OR STOPPING FOR INTERSECTIONS OR TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLS AND DIES MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER OR STOP. I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED SEVERAL TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED ON HILLS. THE MECHANICS I WHEN TO CAN'T FIND ANYTHING, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM STARTED ONCE AFTER RE FUELING AND NOW EVERY TIME I GET GAS IT DOES IT SEVERAL TIMES THEN RUNS ALRIGHT BUT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THERE IN NO WARNING WHEN I DIES AND ONE OF THESE TIMES I AM AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IT. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE WITH NO DECISIVE SOLUTION. *TR
