POWER TRAIN
SHIFTING ON ITS OWN. MY TRUCK HAS 75,186 MILES ON IT AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. FOR THE PAST 10,000 MILES OR SO, IT HAS BEEN SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND LO 4X4 RANDOMLY BY ITSELF WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERACTION. EVEN SITTING PARKED YOU COULD HEAR IT CYCLING AND SHIFTING ELECTRONICALLY IN AND OUT OF 4X4. I RECENTLY PARKED IT IN A GRASS FIELD NEAR A POND AND LEFT IT - WAS WORKING FINE WHEN I PULLED IN. CAME BACK ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, GOT IN, STARTED IT AND TRIED TO GO... NOTHING AT ALL. IT HAD SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL (RED "N" LIGHTED) AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR FORWARD OR REVERSE. ROLLED FREELY NOW BOTH DIRECTIONS. HAD TO GET IT TOWED OUT OF THE FIELD AND UP TO THE ROADWAY AND THEN ANOTHER COMPANY TO COME LOAD IT AND TOW IT TO THE SHOP. SEARCHED ONLINE - THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR INSTANCES ABOUT THIS VEHICLE SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEARS RANDOMLY ON ITS OWN. WHY HASN'T THIS ELECTRONIC SHIFTING MECHANISM BEEN RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED? MY TRUCK EASILY ROLLED REGARDLESS OF THE SHIFTING POSITION. JUST LUCKY I WAS ON FLAT LAND IN A FIELD AT THIS TIME AND NOT ON A SLOPING STREET - HORRIBLE TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED LAST WEEK WHEN I PARKED IN THE SLOPING PARKING LOT AT TEH SCHOOL ABOVE THE FOOTBALL CROWD AT THE GAME BELOW. TOO TERRIBLE TO IMAGINE IF IT WOULD HAVE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF AT THAT TIME.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED NOTICE S43 / NHTSA 16V-352 ON JULY 18, 2016. IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. THIS IMPOSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO ANY FRONT SEAT PASSENGER THAT AN INFLATOR RUPTURE COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED THAT SINCE I LIVE IN AN AREA WITH HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME THAT THE AT RISK CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR. WHAT CAN THE DOT DO TO SEE THAT THESE PARTS ARE EXPEDITED FOR THOSE OF US LIVING ON THE TEXAS GULF COAST? *TR

TAKATA RECALL I AM UPSET AT THE WAY THESE TAKATA RECALLS ARE BEING HANDLED BY DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTURER. NEITHER DEALER OR MANUFACTURER SEEM TO HAVE A HANDLE ON WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE, DISSEMINATING PROPER INFORMATION TO CUSTOMERS, ETC. I JUST RETURNED FROM WASTING THIS MORNING AT A DODGE DEALER BECAUSE I SCHEDULED THE WORK, AND WHEN I GOT THERE WAS TOLD NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN I SCHEDULED THE WORK. I LIVE 45 MINUTES ONE WAY, SO IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE THESE USELESS TRIPS. I THINK MUCH PRESSURE SHOULD BE EXERTED ON MANUFACTURERS TO DIVERT AIRBAGS TO RECALLS, AND PULL THE AIRBAGS AWAY FROM NEW CAR PRODUCTION UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THERE SHOULD ALSO BE ONE PERSON IN CHARGE OF AIRBAG RECALLS AT EACH DEALERSHIP TO COORDINATE THE FLOW OF INFORMATION, SCHEDULING, PARTS, ETC. AND TAKATA SHOULD PAY THE BILL FOR THESE PERSONS. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON OCTOBER 5, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:45 P.M., L ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AT A SPEED OF 55 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRUCK ACCELERATED TO A SPEED OF 60 MILES AND HIGHER. I TESTED THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM TWICE MORE AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THE VEHICLE NEVER SLOWED DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS ON DAM NECK ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A CITY STREET. AFTER THIS OCCURRED MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH CLEARLY INDICATES A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. I THINK THERE MAY BE OTHER VEHICLES THAT COULD HAVE THIS SAME MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH.

SIGNED UP FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL ON JULY 22, 2016. I HAVE WAITED OVER TWO AND A HALF MONTHS TO BE NOTIFIED TO BRING MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE AIRBAG REPLACED. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS TO 1-800-853-1403, ONLY TO HAVE BEEN HUNG UP ON. THEY LEAVE ME AND MY PASSENGER IN DANGER. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I'M WORRIED EACH TIME I HAVE TO USE IT THAT HOPE THE AIRBAG DOES NOT EXPLODE. I NEED MY TRUCK AND NEED THEM TO REPAIR IT CAUSE THEY CREATED THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET MY TRUCK AIRBAG REPLACED, I THINK I HAVE GIVEN THEM MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME.
