ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I LOSE POWER AND THE TRUCK DIES. WHEN THAT HAPPENS I LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY.THIS HAPPENS OFTEN AND AT ANYTIME NO MATTER IF I'M ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. IT SEEMS TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON MY IGNITION AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 RAM 2500 CUMMINS DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70-75 MPH. THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY MULTIPLE VIOLENT SOUNDS COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE JUST BELOW MY FEET. THE FLOOR BOARD BELOW MY FEET WAS PUSHED UPWARD NEARLY 1 FOOT FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS SLAMMING INTO THE CAB UNTIL I COULD GET PULLED OVER. THE DRIVETRAIN NEARLY PENETRATED INTO THE CAB. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK THE TRANSFER CASE HAD EXPLODED LEAVING METAL COMPONENTS ALL OVER THE INTERSTATE. THE EXPLOSION HAS CAUSED FROM EARLY ESTIMATES 15-25K IN DAMAGES. THE TRANSFER CASE, TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFTS, BRAKE LINES, WIRING HARNESSES, EMISSIONS COMPONENTS AMONG OTHER PARTS ARE COMPLETELY RUINED. THE TRUCK MAY BE TOTALED. THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER ISN'T BEING VERY HELPFUL. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE CASE NEXT TIME.

SUSPENSION
"07" MEGA CAB 4X4 HAS THE WELL KNOWN "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE. WHEN TRAVELING OVER 55 AND HIT BUMPS, POTHOLES, OR BRIDGE JOINTS THE CONDITION STARTS AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL SLOWED TO LESS THAN 20 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. HAVE SPENT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX TO NO AVAIL. TRUCK ONLY HAD 52500 MILES WHEN THIS STARTED. I HAVE REPLACED STEERING SYSTEM WITH "NEW IMPROVED" VERSION, REPLACED SHOCKS, TRACK BAR BUSHINGS, STEERING STABILIZER, STEERING GEAR BOX STABILIZER, TIRES. TRUCK HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 800 MILES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS DUE TO THE PROBLEM AND ONLY DRIVEN THAT FAR BECAUSE WHEN IT STARTED I WAS 500 MILES FROM HOME. COUPLE THIS WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL THAT SAID DO NOT DRIVE UNTIL REPLACED AND IT TOOK A YEAR TO GET PARTS. TO SAY I AM NOT HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IS VERY SERIOUS AND AFTER THINKING I HAD IT FIXED IT NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR WRECK ON A 4 LANE INTERSTATE WHILE PULLING A 26' TRAILER LOADED WITH ATV'S, RUNNING 65 MPH AND RAN OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT AT A BRIDGE. I CLEARED ALL 4 LANES TRYING TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL, EVERYONE WAS GOING IN ALL DIRECTIONS TO GET AWAY FROM ME. THANK GOD IT NEVER CAUSED ANY DAMAGE TO ANYONE'S VEHICLES, ONLY OUR NERVES AND UNDERWEAR. THIS IS WAY MORE SERIOUS THAN ANY EMISSIONS SCAM.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD AND RELATED UNDERPINNINGS AND SUPORT STRUCTURE FOR EVERYTHING FROM PASSENGER AIRBAG,RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROL AND VENTS, HEADLIGHT, MIRROR DEFROSTER, GAUGE POD, ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC PLUG, ETC. BEGAN DISINTEGRATING IN LARGE SHARP PIECES WHILE DRIVING. THESE PIECES CUT WIRING AND FLES FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING AND ARE DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS IN MULTIPLE WAYS WORSE IF IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO REMOVE RADIO, AND DISABLE AIRBAGS FOR SAFETY. REPLACEMENT PARTS ALONE ARE POTENTIALLY IN THE THOUSANDS, NOT INCLUDING LABOR AND WIRING HARNESS REPAIRS.
