ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR THE PAST WEEK MY ENGINE WAS DIFFICULT TO START. CRANKED FOR ABOUT 20 SECOND BEFORE STARTING. TODAY THE ENGINE CRANKED BUT FAILED TO START. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD AND CHECKING THE BATTERY I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX, TIPM, WHICH IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE BATTERY. I OPENED THE COVER TO THE TIPM AND NOTICED WHITE POWDER, ACID. THE NEGATIVE LEAD WHICH IS ALSO CONNECTED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIPM HAD WHITE POWDER RESIDUE ON THE CONNECTOR. I TRIED ONCE AGAIN TO START THE VEHICLE BUT ONLY CRANKED. THEN SOME SMOKE WAS OBSERVED COMING FROM THE TIPM. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND MADE SURE NOTHING WAS STILL BURNING. I READ ON LINE THAT TIPM FAILURE IS COMMON WITH MY VEHICLE AND OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS BUT A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED. THIS COULD HAVE TURNED INTO A SAFETY ISSUE IF MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CATCH FIRE. I HAVE TO SPEND $100 IN TOWING COST AND ~$800 TO REPAIR.

WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH (NORMALLY 55 AS IT IS A DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR) DOWN A MAIN HIGHWAY IN MY AREA, WHERE THERE WAS ON-GOING ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND FELT A SLIGHT "SHIMMY" AND THEN A DRIFTING, SIMILAR TO HYDROPLANING. I EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY, ONTO MY PRE-PLANNED EXIT AND DROVE ANOTHER MILE OR SO. I WAS THEN GOING AROUND A TRAFFIC CIRCLE (IN A BEARING CURVE TO THE LEFT), AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MPH, AND BEGAN TO FEEL A HARD "SHIMMY". WITHIN SECONDS, IT PROGRESSED TO A LURCHING AND SHAKING...AS I WATCHED MY REAR DRIVERS-SIDE WHEEL AND TIRE SPIN AROUND IN THE ROAD/TRAFFIC CIRCLE BEHIND ME. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE OF MY TRUCK WAS SITTING ON THE ROTOR. THE TIRE WAS APPROX 25-30 FEET BEHIND ME, AND ALL 5 LUGS WERE FOUND AT THE LOCATION THAT I ENTERED THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE.

STEERING
TWO YEARS AGO, WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED ON A CITY STREET, THE RIGHT TIE-ROD BALL JOINT BROKE AND THE TIE ROD DROPPED AND WEDGED INTO THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. BROUGHT ME TO AN ABRUPT STOP AND SWERVED THE TRUCK INTO THE CURB. AT THE TIME, I WAS NOT AWARE OF A RECALL. I FIXED IT. SINCE THEN, THE FRONT TRANSMISSION BLEW UP. I REPLACED THE WHOLE FRONT END. THE RIGHT TIE-ROD BROKE ON THE NEW FRONT END. I FIXED IT AGAIN. THE OTHER DAY, THE RIGHT WHEEL BEARING SEIZED AND THE BRAKES FAILED. I WAS TRAVELLING AT 65 MPH TOWING A FLATBED TRAILER. BRINGING IT TO A STOP PROVIDED ME WITH SOME MAALOX MOMENTS. I'VE HAD ENOUGH AND AM GETTING RID OF THIS TRUCK BEFORE IT KILLS ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
(SAFETY) WHEN USING LEFT TURN SIGNAL, RIGHT SIGNAL BLINKS OR NONE AT ALL. I HAVE HAD OTHER MOTORIST THINK I WAS TURNING RIGHT AND GO AROUND ME AS I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE MY TURN LEFT . I THINK NHTSA NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS ! BECAUSE MOTORIST CAN BE ISSUED A TICKET FOR IMPROPER LANE CHANGE OR AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.
