TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A INTERIM NOTICE S43/NHTSA 16V-352 FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR ON 7/1/2016. IT STATED METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY/DEATH. ALSO STATED NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WHICH TELLS ME NO PASSENGERS IN OUR LARGEST 6 SEATER VEHICLE. 10/5/2016 I EMAILED MOPAR TO ADD TO "ON EMAIL LIST" FOR PARTS HOPING TO GET PROBLEM FIXED ASAP, NO RESPONSE. FEB. 17, 2017 I WENT TO LOCAL DEALER WHO ALSO LOOKED UP RECALL AND STATED STILL NO PARTS TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY. WHAT IS THE HOLD UP? MY 6 SEATER TRUCK GETS USED EVERYDAY, CAN YOU HELP!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TIPM REPLACED IN A 2004 RAM 1500. REPLACED DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). FUEL PUMP WOULDN'T SHUT OFF, WIPERS TURNING ON BY THEMSELVES, BOTH SIDES OF MY TAIL LIGHTS BLACKED OUT, NO POWER. FOUND OUT THE GROUND TO THE TAIL LIGHT RELAY IN THE TIPM FAILED . HAD TO REPLACE THE TIPM ON 1-20-16 AT A DODGE DEALER. ALL PROBLEMS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS EITHER STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY OR TURNING. I ALSO RECEIVED A TICKET FOR NO TAIL LIGHTS. WITHOUT TAIL LIGHTS CAUSED BY A FAULTY TIPM IT CREATED THE UNSAFE CONDITION AND CAUSED A SAFETY RISK OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT

SUSPENSION
IF I HIT A BUMP WHEN TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT CAUSES AN EXTREME WOBBLE THAT ONLY IMPROVES BY SLOWING DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT FEELS LIKE YOU COULD EASILY LOOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN THE GAS TANK ON THIS TRUCK IS FILLED TO CAPACITY, THE TRUCK WILL STALL WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE TRUCK CANNOT BE FILLED TO THE "FULL" MARK. IF IT IS IT WILL STALL WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT IS TO NOT FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY FULL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING AT ANY TIME ANY CONDITIONS TURNING OR STRAIT ROADS THE ECT LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE STEERING AND BRAKES INCLUDED. THE RPMS WILL JUMP UP HIGH THEN DROP SO LOW THE TRUCK WILL DIE OR IDLE REALLY ROUGH. RAMEYS CAN'T FIX IT LOCAL SERVICE STATIONS CAN'T FIX I'VE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BC OF THIS I'VE HAD A NEW THROTTLE BODY INSTALLED NO FIX 150$ THEN A NEW BELL CRANK ASSEMBLY 400$ STILL NO FIX I'VE SEARCHED AND CALLED EVERYONE WHO MIGHT HAVE AN IDEA DODGE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A RARE THING FROM WHAT I SEE ONLINE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY TRUCK WAS PARKED AT WORK AND AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED HOME AND I DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE NEXT DAY I LIFTED THE BED TO REPLACE IT AND I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE WHOLE TOP OF THE TANK'S LOCKING RING TANGS WERE ALL RUSTED AWAY AND THE PUMP WAS JUST SITTING IN THE TANK CROOKED. IF IT WAS FILLED FULL OR IN AN ACCIDENT FUEL WOULD'VE SLOOSHED OUT OF THE TANK. ON A ROLLOVER THE ENTIRE TANK WILL EMPTY.
