UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OVER A PERIOD OF A FEW YEARS THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AND SMALL PIECES BREAKING OFF. RECENTLY THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A DEFECTIVE EVAPORATOR COIL WHICH IS UNDER THE DASH. WHEN THEY STARTED TO REMOVE THE DASH IT BROKE INTO SMALL PIECES. I WAS NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED A DASH COVER FROM AN ONLINE COMPANY. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS NOT A COSMETIC PROBLEM, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS SUPPORTED BY THIS DASH AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A LOT OF EXTRA WORK TO KEEP THE AIRBAG IN POSITION. IT COST ME AN EXTRA $400.00. THE NHTSA IS AWARE THAT THIS IS AN EXTENSIVE PROBLEM YET YOU REFUSE TO CONSIDER A RECALL BECAUSE YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE A COSMETIC ISSUE. ARE YOU AWARE THAT AN AIRBAG IS SUSPENDED FROM THIS DASH AND IF THE DASH CRUMBLES SO DOES THE AIRBAG AND VERY POSSIBLY WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VAN STARTING MAKING WHIRRING SOUND AND STARTING LOSE SPEED. WE HEARD A LOUD POP. A CAR BEEPED AND MY HUSBAND LOOKED IN THE SIDE MIRROR AND SAW FIRE COMING FROM UNDER THE VAN. WE QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND JUMPED OUT. THE FUEL LINE WAS LEAKING AND THE VAN ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WE TOTAL LOST THE VAN AND EVERYTHING IN IT. WE PURCHASED THE VAN FROM A LOCAL CHURCH WHICH NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT. IT WAS INSPECTED IN DECEMBER OF 2016 AND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN A FEW TIMES WITHOUT ANY COMPLICATIONS. WE HAD READ THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 1998 DODGE RAM 3500 TRUCKS WITH A 8.0L V-10 ENGINE OR A 5.9L V-8 HEAVTY DUTY GASOLINE ENGINE WHERE AN EXHAUST SYSTEM HEAT SHIELD ATTACHING SCREW IS TOOL CLOSE TO THE UNDERBODY FUEL LINE. THE LINE CAN RUB AGAINST THE SCREW, POSSIBLY CAUSING FUEL LEAKAGE. TO US, THE VAN HAS THE SAME ENGINE BUT THE SHELL/EXTERIOR IS A VAN INSTEAD OF A TRUCK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK GAS SHOOTS OUT THE FILLER HOLE. ITS NOT LIKE NORMAL VEHICLE WHEN THE GAS HANDLE CLICKS AND STOPS. ON MY DODGE RAM, THE GAS NOZZLE STOPS BUT AS SOON AS IT DOES GAS COME POURING OUT MY FILLER HOLE. THIS IS GOT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET IM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL DODGE HAS NOT COMPLETED THE RECALL REPAIR ON OUR DODGE RAM BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART & DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THE PART. WE ARE CONSTANTLY GETTING URGENT CALLS TELLING US TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER. OUR LOCAL DEALER TELLS US THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART & THEY TELL US THAT THEY WILL CALL US WHEN THEY HAVE THE PART. WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER IN AN EMAIL & THEY SAY THE SAME THING. MEANWHILE WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH FEAR, KNOWING THAT THIS DEFECTIVE PART HAS KILLED PEOPLE, IT IS SCARY. WE ARE REACHING OUT BECAUSE THIS IS WRONG & NO ONE ELSE SHOULD LOSE THEIR LIFE OR SUFFER INJURY. OUR LOCAL DODGE & CHRYSLER HAVE NOT OFFERED ANY OTHER REMEDY, YET THEY CONSTANTLY CALL TELLING US HOW URGENT THIS RECALL IS & HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR US TO GET IT REPAIRED. IT IS NONSENSE & IT IS NEGLIGENT ON THEIR PART. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ALL OF US WHO ARE FACING THIS GIGANTIC PROBLEM.

ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. HEAD OR HEAD GASKET AS IT IS BURNING LOTS OF WATER. FLOWS OUT OF TAILPIPES. SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MOTOR IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THERE IS NO CHEAP FIX. FROM SLUDGE TO OVERHEATING PROBLEMS THAT RUIN THE MOTOR THERE ARE FEW OPTIONS TO REPLACE OTHER THAN A REBUILT THAT HAS BEEN ALTERED TO CORRECT ALL SAID PROBLEMS. FAIRLY HIGH PRICED I MIGHT ADD. DODGE SHOULD CLAIM SOME RESPONSIBILITY AND HELP OUT RATHER THAN IGNORING THIS ISSUE. THIS ENGINE HAS FAILED TOO MANY TIMES THE SAME WAY TO BE COINCIDENCE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TRUCK IS DIFFICULT TO START UNLESS YOU WIGGLE THE KEY FOB, IT ALSO SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DUE TO THE KEY ISSUE. IF YOU ADJUST THE KEY, YOU CAN RESTART IT, CAN ALSO START IT BY PUTTING YOUR FINGER IN THE HOLE FOR THE KEY TO GO INTO WITH THE FOB NEXT TO IT. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN INITIALLY STARTING IT AND IF YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. WE HAVE REMOVED ALL KEYS FROM THE FOB BUT IT CONTINUES TO CUT THE TRUCK OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS A COMMON RECALL ON THE DODGE TOWN AND COUNTRY. I TALKED TO DODGE THIS MORNING AND THEY SAID OUR TRUCK WAS NOT AFFECTED AND WE COULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK ON 2010 DODGE RAM- THIS CAN DAMAGE PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE BAY. IT CAN ALSO BECOME A HEALTH HAZARD, AS THE EXHAUST FUMES CAN ENTER THE CAR'S CABIN. UPON DOING RESEARCH MANY DODGE OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME LEAK AND DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. MOST VEHICLES ONLY HAVE AROUND 50,000 MILES WHEN THE MANIFOLDS BREAK AND THE EXHAUST BEGINS TO LEAK.
