ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT QUIT WORKING. I WENT TO THE STORE TO REPLACE IT THINKING IT HAD BURNT OUT. WHEN I REPLACED THE LIGHT IT DID NOT WORK STILL AND THE OLD HEADLIGHT STILL HAD BOTH FILAMENTS PROVING IT WAS STILL GOOD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BOTH HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING ON ME WHEN I WAS OUT AT NIGHT DRIVING LESS THAN A 10TH OF A MILE FROM HOME. I MANAGED TO NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE CTM AND HEAD LIGHT SWITCH WERE BAD HOWEVER THE CTM WAS A "OBSOLETE" PART AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET ME ONE. AFTER THEY RELEASED MY TRUCK BACK TO ME TO DRIVE AS I PLEASE, I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE AN OLDER CTM FROM A 2003 4X4 AUTOMATIC DAKOTA 4.7L. NOW MY LIGHTS WORK AND I HAVE A "GUARANTEE" FROM THE EBAY SELLER THAT IT WILL WORK FOR 6 MONTHS. I HAVE A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND I CAN NOT TRUST MY HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT GO OUT AT ANY TIME SO I CAN NOT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT IN GOOD CONFIDENCE OR MORAL CONSCIENCE. THE DEALERSHIP LILITHIA DODGE OF ROSEBURG OREGON HAS RECORD OF MY TRUCK BEING IN THEIR POSSESSION FOR MULTIPLE DAYS BEFORE RELEASING IT BACK INTO MY POSSESSION WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING BUT A DIAGNOSTICS TEST.

AIR BAGS
FCA IS SEND MY A LETTER THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS YET WHEN I VISITED TWO DEALERSHIPS THIS MORNING I WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS, NOR COULD THEY ORDER THEM. A CALL TO THEIR CUSTOMERS SERVICE LINE THE REPRESENTATIVE SAYS PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT NO DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO GET THEM. IT SEEMS TO PART OF FCA CONTINUING SCRAM NOT TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLES. SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED. NEITHER FCA AND NHTSA SEEM TO CARE ABOUT SAFETY AT THIS TIME AND I WILL BELIEVE THIS UNTIL I SEE REPAIRS BEING MADE, AND NOT JUST MORE VEHICLES DUMPED ON THE AMERICAN CONSUMER!

AIR BAGS
DUE TO MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG BEING POTENTIALLY DEADLY I CANNOT TRADE OFF MY TRUCK FOR A FAIR MARKET VALUE. ALSO I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE FOR ANY PERSON OR PERSONS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I CONTACTED DODGE BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2016 AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS ON THE SAFETY OF ME VEHICLE AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THERE WOULD BE A FIX IN MARCH 2017. HOWEVER THERE IS STILL NO FIX AND I STILL CANNOT TRADE OFF MY TRUCK OR ALLOW PASSENGERS IN IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT BUILT BY DODGE BUT THEY NEED TO BE MORE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE RISK AND THE SITUATION THAT FAITHFUL CUSTOMERS ARE BEING PUT IN.
