STEERING
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH PULLING AND THE RIGHT TIE ROD CAME APART AND WE HEADED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THE DODGE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE LEFT TIE ROD IN TRUCKS OF OUR SAME YEAR AND MODEL WERE UNDER RECALL, BUT NOT OURS. WE HAD TO REPAIR IT ON OUR OWN. THE LEFT TIE ROD IS NOW BAD ON OURS BUT LUCKY WE WERE TOLD ABOUT IT DURING A TIRE ROTATION. DODGE SAYS THAT OUR TRUCK ISN'T COVERED EVEN THOUGH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL TRUCKS ARE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 7 DAYS AGO. I HAVE DISCOVERED A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT ONLY PRESENTS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. AT LOW SPEEDS IN, TURNING, OR WHILE MANEUVERING THROUGH TRAFFIC THE TRUCK WILL CHUG AND THEN DIE. LEAVING MY VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. IT HAPPENED TWICE AFTER FUELING FRIDAY, AND THEN AGAIN THREE TIMES AFTER FUELING TODAY. TWO OF THE THREE TIMES I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST IN A COLLISION BY UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS TURNING ONTO A SHARP ON RAMP TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY IT DIED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP AND NOT AT THE TOP WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC. AND THANKFULLY MY WIFE WASN'T DRIVING, BECAUSE WITHOUT POWER STEERING HER AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE LIKELY STRAIGHTENED OUT THE ON RAMP AND FOUND THEMSELVES AT THE BOTTOM OF A STEEP BANK. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION A COLLISION WOULD BE HIGHLY LIKELY WITH FATALITIES FOR SURE. THE PROBLEM LASTS FOR ABOUT THE FIST TEN TO FIFTEEN MILES OF DRIVING, AND DIES AT LOWER SPEEDS 0-25 MPH. I HAVE READ ABOUT NHTSA INVESTIGATIONS INTO OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES PRESENTING THE SAME ISSUES, AND WHERE THE WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THESE WARRANTIES MUST BE EXTENDED TO THE 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 AS WELL IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC AND KILLED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON A REMOTE ROAD IN AZ, SEVERAL THINGS ON MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACTIVATED ALL AT THE SAME TIME INCLUDING HORN HONKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HAZARD LIGHTS, DOME LIGHT, AND RADIO. THIS WAS EXTREMELY ALARMING BUT I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO A STOP AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF, THE VEHICLE NOT START AGAIN DESPITE HAVING PLENTY OF BATTERY POWER. FORTUNATELY, I HAD CELL PHONE RECEPTION AND WAS ABLE TO CALL AAA AND GET TOWED MORE THAN 80 MILES. THE REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN ISSUE WITH THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, WHICH IS ROUGHLY A $1,000 REPAIR. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE INVESTIGATIONS INTO DEFECTS OF THIS POWER MODULE AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS OF SOME DODGE VEHICLE MODELS. I WANT TO REGISTER THIS INCIDENT TO REINFORCE WHAT I FEEL IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN A VEHICLE CAN ACT LIKE IT IS "POSSESSED" WHILE DRIVING ALONG A ROAD.

STEERING
I RECEIVED RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR AIR BAG AND STEERING LINKAGE REPLACEMENT. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL FIXES. I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE BOTH PARTS SO THE APPOINTMENT WAS SET FOR ABOUT 4-5 WEEKS LATER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS FIXED BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE RECALL ON THE STEERING LINKAGE. THEY STATED MY TRUCK HAD THE "OLD DODGE PART" SO THAT WAS NOT COVERED. THIS PART IF FAILS WILL CAUSE ME TO HAVE NO STEERING CONTROL. I HAD A CHRYSLER CERTIFIED MECHANIC LOOK AT THE STEERING PART ON MY TRUCK AND HE STATED IT WAS SO BAD HE WOULD BE SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SO EVEN THOUGH THE STEERING PART IS BAD TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS DODGE IS CLAIMING THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. WHY WOULD I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE?
