ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE OPERATING MY TRUCK IN NORMAL USAGE, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO LOSS POWER, SHAKE VIOLENTLY, AND EMIT A KNOCKING/CLACKING SOUND. THE TRUCK DISPLAYED A MIL CODE P0304 FOR A MISFIRE, ONE THAT WAS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE, NEGLIGENTLY ENGINEERED POWERTRAIN COMPONENTS. CAMSHAFT AND VALVE LIFTER FAILURES ARE KNOWN ISSUES ON THIS VEHICLE ACROSS MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS. THE MOMENT WHEN THEY MANIFEST CAN CAUSE DRIVER DISTRACTION AT THE LEAST, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AT WORST. FCA SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO COVER REPAIRS/REIMBURSE THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED VEHICLE FAILURE. THE PARTS ALONE WILL COST NEARLY $1800, WITH LABOR COSTS EXPECTED TO AT LEAST DOUBLE THAT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WIN MODULES AND/OR IGNITION SWITCH RANDOMLY TURNS ENGINE OFF AND ALL ELECTRONICS INCLUDING TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLS. VEHICLE LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. LOSS OF TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLS. I WAS DRIVING PULLING A 10,000LBS. TRAILER AND TRUCK WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING AROUND PEDESTRIANS, AND NO TRAFFIC, OR DRIVING INTO A CITY RUSH HOUR LIKE I USUALLY AM. NOW I DON'T PULL A TRAILER ANYMORE WITH THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I'M SCARED OF SMASHING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. A LOT OF PEOPLE USE THESE TRUCKS AS COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND TOWING AND THIS NEEDS ADDRESSES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *DT*JB *DT*JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING THE TRUCK, FUEL OVERFLOWS AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL OUT ONTO THE TRUCK AND GROUND. THE AMOUNT IS SIGNIFICANT AND LEAVES A POOL OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY GAS STATION, AT ANY PUMP REGARDLESS OF TIME OF DAY OR SEASON. THE PICTURES I ATTACHED ARE EXAMPLES I FOUND ON LINE THAT ILLUSTRATE THE ISSUE EXACTLY AS I EXPERIENCE IT.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
NOVEMBER 2018, ON A HIGHWAY, HIT A BUMP, AND THE SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG LIGHTS CAME ON, THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT WAS UNFASTENED, EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT BELT WAS SECURELY FASTENED, AND THE SEAT BELT CHIME RANG CONTINUOUSLY. ABOUT 100 MILES LATER, I HIT ANOTHER BUMP AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE TRUCK STAYED FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. IN JANUARY 2019, AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND FASTENING THE SEAT BELT, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME BACK ON, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE SEAT BELT MESSAGE SAYS THAT IT IS NOT FASTENED AND IT CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON FEBRUARY 20, 2019. THEY FOUND A CODE "U0151 OCR MODULE LOST COMMUNICATION" AND TOLD ME THE OCR MODULE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT IT IS ON BACK ORDER. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT EVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 73,000 MILES ON IT. I AM UPLOADING SEVERAL PICTURES. THE FIRST IS THE DASHBOARD SHOWING THE LIGHTS ON AND SEATBELT UNFASTENED MESSAGE EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SEATBELT FASTENED. THE SECOND IS A PICTURE OF THE OCR MODULE WHICH I LOOKED AT TO MAKE SURE IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY LOOSE WIRES. AND THE THIRD IS THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP.
