STRUCTURE
THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A CRACK ON THE TOP, JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE GLOVE BOS. IT STARTED OUT AS ONLY A SMALL CRACK BUT IS OPENING UP. THE ENTIRE AREA FEELS VERY SOFT WHEN CLEANING IT, SO I ASSUME WITH MOST OF THE OTHER COMMENTS, ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL IT COMPLETELY FALLS APART. ALSO WHY HAS THERE BEEN NOTHING DONE WITH THE REAR FENDERS ON THE DODGE RAM 1500 P.U. THE FENDERS ON JUST ABOUT EVERY ONE I SEE ARE RUSTED OUT, WAS TOLD THEY USED A CHEAPER METAL FOR THOSE FENDERS. GLAD THEY USED JUNK, BIT DIDN'T CHARGE YOU THAT WAY. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD TAKE PRIDE IN THE VEHICLES. BOTH OF THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AS, PARTS BREAK AND FLY DURING ACCIDENTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON 23 JAN 14 I TOOK MY VEHICLE (2009 DODGE RAM 1500) TO THE DEALERSHIP (SAN ANTONIO DODGE_CHRYSLER_JEEP_RAM), BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING AND POPPING NOISE UNDER THE DASH WHENEVER THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS "MODE DOOR ACTUATORS DEFROST BLEND AND RECIRCULATION BROKEN" AND MADE THE REPAIR BY REMOVING AND REPLACING THE ACTUATORS. ON 6 FEB 15 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE HVAC CONTROL HEAD MODULE WAS UNRESPONSIVE; AIR WOULD BLOW ONLY FROM THE LOWER FLOOR VENTS, NOTHING FROM THE MID-LEVEL OR DEFROST VENTS. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IT WOULD BE 3 TO 4 DAYS AND COST $100.00 FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. . I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE; THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, PRINTED OUT THE RECALLS AND SERVICE BULLETINS PERTAINING TO THE PROBLEM AND CHARGED ME $44.05 FOR THEIR TROUBLE. THIS WAS THE FIRST I HAD HEARD OF THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K17 AND THE SAFETY RECALL J12?. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM THAT THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING IS THE SAME AS THOSE ADDRESSED IN THE NOTIFICATION AND RECALL. THEY REPLIED THAT I?D HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THAT DETERMINATION TO BE MADE.ON 9 FEB 15 I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY MADE THE REPAIR WHICH WAS TO ?REPLACE A/C CONTROL PANEL AND PROGRAM PANEL AND ACTUATORS TO WORK PROPERLY?. THIS IS THE EXACT REPAIR CALLED FOR IN THE J12 SAFETY RECALL; THEY JUST CHANGED THE NAME FROM HVAC CONTROL HEAD MODULE TO A/C CONTROL PANEL.AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED AND PAID FOR, I SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO CHRYSLER FOR REIMBURSEMENT REFERENCING BOTH THE? K17 NOTIFICATION? AND THE ?J12 RECALL?. THEY DENIED THE CLAIM STATING THAT THE RECALLS HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED SOMETIME IN 2010 AT A COST OF $22.00 AND $47.00 DURING SOME OTHER ROUTINE SERVICE. THE SERVICE REPAIR COST ON THE TWO OCCASIONS I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WAS $585.00 AND $444.10. *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
MY GIRLFRIEND USED THE BRAKES AND THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD ALLOW HER TO SLOW DOWN AND REGAIN CONTROL CAUSE IT KEPT KICKING THE PEDAL BACK WITH NO BRAKING CONTROL WHATSOEVER. SHE HIT A GUARD RAIL AND AS THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED A PIECE OF METAL INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSED APPROX A 1 1/2 INCH TEAR IN THE SIDE OF THE AIR BAG CAUSING TO NOT INFLATE AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO HER NECK SEVERALLY TO THE POINT WHERE SHE NEEDS SURGERY NOW TO HAVE CERVICAL VERTEBRAE FUSED TOGETHER AND EXTREME SHOULDER PAIN AND UNSURE OF THE CAUSE FOR THAT NOW. IF THIS AIR BAG WOULD NOT HAVE TORE AND WORKED PROPERLY SHE WOULD HAVE A SOAR FACE RIGHT NOW AND NOT NEEDING SURGERY. YES WE FULLY INTEND TO START MAKING INQUIRIES TO LAWYERS STARTING 3/2/2015 AND FIND A REMEDY BECAUSE WITH ALL THE AIR BAG PROBLEMS DODGE HAS HAD THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. *TR
