ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WIN MODUEL(WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE) VEHICLE HAS 90,000 MILES. WHEN KEY IS INSERTED INTO IGNITION AND TURNED TO THE START POSITION THE WIN MODULE FAILS TO MAKE A CIRCUIT INTERNALLY AND WILL NOT CRANK THE VEHICLE. THE FAULTY CONNECTIONS INSIDE WILL ALSO MOVE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF AT SOMETIMES A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKES,STEERING, LIGHTS, ETC. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. MY PERSONAL VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS REPEATEDLY WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN STARTING. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE BEING LAST NIGHT WHEN DRIVING 60MPH DOWN A RULE STAE HI-WAY WE LOST COMPLETE POWER!!! NO HEAD LIGHTS, NO ENGINE, NO POWER BREAKS, NO POWER STEERING, EVERYTHING WAS DEAD. THIS WAS VERY SCARY!!! WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HI-WAY AND TURN OFF THE KEY AND EVERYTHING POWERED BACK UP. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED A LOT WORSE!!! THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ON THIS ONE ALSO.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE BEHIND THE DASH OF MY TRUCK. TOOK IT IN TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND IT WAS THE ACTUATOR BEHIND MY HVAC THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL THE K17 THAT HAD BEEN DONE THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX THIS ISSUE APPARENTLY. AFTER TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND MAKING CALLS TO RAM THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULDN'T BE FIXED FOR FREE DUE TO THE FACT THE K17 WASN'T AN ACTUAL RECALL AND JUST A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION LETTER. THEY QUOTED ME AT $1500 DUE TO THE FACT THE DASH HAD TO BE REMOVED TO GET TO THIS ACTUATOR AND SUGGESTED I REPLACE ALL OF THEM IF I WAS GOING TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS WRONG AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SINCE THE MANUFACTURER TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS (60-70 MPH) MY TRUCK DROPS INTO 4TH GEAR WITHOUT NOTICE. IT THEN GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE AND YOU CAN'T SHIFT OUT OF 4TH GEAR UNTIL YOU PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON. I'VE NOTICED THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE SPARE TIRE IS LOCATED UNDER THE CAR AND HELD UP WITH A STEEL CABLE VIA A WINCH HOIST. OVER TIME THE STEEL CABLE SHEERED OFF SO AT ONE POINT RECENTLY I LOST THE SPARE TIRE WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS IT MAY HAVE DAMAGED A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME. I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING BEHIND ANOTHER PICKUP TRUCK AND SUDDENLY ITS SPARE TIRE FALLS OUT FROM UNDERNEATH IT. ATTACHED IS A PHOTO OF THE SPARE TIRE WINCH HOIST SHOWING THE SHEERED STEEL CABLE. THIS APPEARS NOT TO BE AN ISOLATED CASE AS CERTAINLY THERE ARE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AVAILABLE WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN EXACTLY I LOST THE SPARE TIRE, I DO KNOW THAT I CHECKED ITS AIR PRESSURE ABOUT 6 MONTHS BEFORE WRITING THIS REPORT, HENCE I AM PICKING BELOW TODAY'S DATE.
