STEERING
I KNOW HAVE TWO RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK. FIRST ONE IS ABOUT 1.5 YEAR AGO AND STILL NOT FIXED STEERING. THE SECOND ONE IS THE AIR BAG AND CHRYSLER DOSE NOT HAVE PART FOR THAT WHAT IS THE MAX TIME FOR THE RECALLS? I THINK OVER A YEAR IS WAY TO LONG FOR A SAFETY RECALL.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2012, THE DASH BOARD HAS BEEN SO SEVERELY CRACKED THAT THERE ARE SHARP EDGES EXPOSED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A CARPET DASH COVER ON THE DASH. DIRECTLY ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG THE LIP OF THE DASH IS CRACKED FROM THE AIRBAG ALL THE WAY TO THE WINDSHIELD. I AM AFRAID OF THAT CRACKED PIECE BEING PROJECTED BY THE AIRBAG DURING AN ACCIDENT AND INJURING A PASSENGER. ALL OF THE CRACKS ARE STRAIGHT LINES, MOST RUNNING FRONT TO BACK. THIS INDICATES THAT IT WAS INFERIOR PLASTIC OR MANUFACTURING PROCESS THAT CAUSED THE PLASTIC TO CRACK THIS DIRECTION, OR THAT THE DASH IS NOT PROPERLY SUPPORTED UNDERNEATH. PLASTIC CRACKS FROM SUN DAMAGE TEND TO BE "SPIDER WEB" TYPE OF CRACKS....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF UPDATED 12/11/2015*JS

SERVICE BRAKES
BOTH BRAKE LINES BETWEEN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE ANTI LOCK CONTROLLER RUPTURED WHEN STOPPING FOR A LIGHT. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS ONLY SUCCESSFUL IN STOPPING USING TRAILER BRAKES.BOTH LINES LOOKED IN PERFECT CONDITION EXCEPT WHERE THEY RUPTURED UNDER A PLASTIC RETAINING CLIP THAT ENCASED THE LINES MAKING THEM NOT VISIBLE FOR INSPECTION. THE LINES COMING OUT OF THE CONTROLLER HAVE AN ANTI CORROSIVE COATING THE TWO GOING IN THAT RUPTURED DO NOT. I STILL HAVE THE OLD LINES AND PICTURES CAN BE SENT IF NEEDED. THE PLASTIC RETAINING CLIPS WERE LOST DURING THE ROADSIDE EMERGENCY REPAIR IN A THUNDER STORM.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
MULTIPLE BREAKS IN THE VENT PORTION OF THE DASH COVER WITH MISSING PIECES AND THE MAIN DASH COMPONENT IS COMPLETELY CRACKED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WITH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM ON, PIECES OF PLASTIC AND DETERIORATED INSULATION BLOWS FREELY IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. WITH THE DASH CONTINUING TO CRACK AND BREAK APART PIECES OF PLASTIC HAVE DROPPED BELOW THE DASH AND COULD POTENTIALLY COULD EXPOSE AND CAUSE WIRING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CRACKED DASH IS A DANGER TO THE EYES OF ANYONE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM CIRCULATING CONDITION AIR. I FEAR THAT THE DASH WILL ACT AS SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ...UPDATED 07/30/15 *BF
