TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING I NEEDED MY AIRBAG REPLACED BUT AFTER NOTIFYING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANY ACTIVE RECALLS AT THE PRESENT TIME. THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAKING NOISE FOR SOME TIME DESPITE ALSO BEING TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE SPECIFIC YEAR THAT I HAVE PURCHASED. LAST BUT NOT LEAST THERE IS A CONSTANT BATTLE WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAVE UPPER AND LOWER MOUNT BARS BUT THE RUBBER GIVES AWAY IN THE PART WHICH CAUSES A SWAY THAT MAKES YOU LOOSE CONTROL TRAVELING OVER 50MPH WITHOUT TOWING A LOAD. I HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO NOT USING THIS VEHICLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ALSO TO DATE THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN GIVEN A FULL OVERHALL AS OF LAST YEAR. AT THE TIME THERE WERE 120,000 MILES ON THE POWER TRAIN

MY 2004 DODGE RAM 3500 WILL GO OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE ON ITS OWN AND I WAS NOT TOLD THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK MY TRUCK WENT ON ITS OWN ONE DAY OVER 250 FEET AND DROVE INTO MY NEIGHBORS YARD. THE TRUCK PARKING PAWL WAS NOT COMPLETELY IN AS I WAS TOLD AND THIS TRUCK HAS THE ABILITY TO DO IT ON ITS OWN I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND A HAZARD TO MY HEALTH AS LONG WITH MY NEIGHBORS. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL SENT TO ME OR ANYTHING TOLD TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THIS FROM THE CHRYSLER DODGE AT THE DEALER I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO AND POSSIBLE HAZARDS THAT ARE LINKED TO THIS COULD YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK WITH ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM. *TT *TR

MY TRUCK HAS ISSUES WITH ALL THE ACTUATORS FOR HEATING AND COOLING. IT DOES IT RIGHT WHEN U START IT UP, AND ALSO WHILE YOUR DRIVING. I CAN'T SWITCH FAN MODES, I HAVE NO DEFROST SINCE THEY WON'T SWITCH. THE ONE ACTUATOR THAT MIGHT BE WORKING STAYS CLICKING. I KNOW THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS (K-17) THERE SAYING IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN,BUT CLEARLY IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AS THE RECALL.

MY 2012 DODGE RAM 1500 IS AFFECTED BY THE NHTSA RECALL 17V-821 (T79 MANUFACTURER RECALL) I HAVE HAD 2 INSTANCES OF MY TRUCK COMING OUT OF PARK IN THE LAST MONTH, I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS RECALL ONLINE, CHRYSLER/DODGE/RAM HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL AT ALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THE MAN I SPOKE TO SAID THERE IS NO FIX CURRENTLY AND IT COULD BE SEPTEMBER OR LATER BEFORE THERE IS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GIVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER OR HAVE THE DEALER BUY IT BACK AS I DONT FIND IT SAFE TO PARK THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE AS IT COULD ROLL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2017 I WAS AT WORK AT OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE WHEN I RECEIVED SEVERAL MESSAGES FROM THE PAPILLION FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE LA VISTA POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND MY APARTMENT STAFF HAD BEEN DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY RAM 2500, WHICH I HAD NOT DRIVEN IN OVER 10 DAYS, HAD CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD IN ITS PARKING SPOT NEAR MY APARTMENT BUILDING. MY FIRST THOUGHT AFTER BEING COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BY THE FACT THAT A LIGHTLY USED TRUCK THAT HADN'T EVEN BEEN DRIVEN COULD SPONTANEOUSLY CATCH ITSELF ON FIRE WAS THAT THANK GOODNESS THE TRUCK WAS PARKED OUTSIDE AND NOT IN MY GARAGE. WHEN I GOT TO MY TRUCK I SAW THAT THE FUSE BOX WAS MELTED AS WELL AS ALL THE WIRES LEADING TO AND FROM THE FUSE BOX. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A LOCAL RAM DEALERSHIP AND I CONTACTED RAM AND CHRYSLER SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS WHO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH ANY DETAILS OTHER THAN THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.
