STEERING
THIS PAST JULY 2016 MY TRUCK DEVELOPED THE DODGE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. VERY SCARY! HEARD THERE WERE BUY BACKS AND RECALLS FOR THIS. I PHONED DODGE AND THEY SAID MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN EITHER. ENDED UP COSTING ME ABOUT 2000.00 TO HAVE THE WHOLE FRONT END REPLACED. THIS HAPPENS AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. COME ON DODGE HOW ABOUT SOME HELP.

AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL" I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING THE ISSUE OF THE AIRBAGS BEING DANGEROUS IN MY 2005 DODGE RAM PICKUP. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG IS AVAILABLE ( WHICH I WILL GET REPLACED) BUT THERE IS " NO REMEDY" FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALER THAT IT IS NOT A "DODGE ISSUE" REGARDING A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL A "REMEDY" CAN BE FOUND! THIS IS WHERE I DISAGREE! IF I AM CORRECT, DODGE BOUGHT THE ITEM FROM TAKATA TO PLACE IN THEIR VEHICLES. IF THE PART HAS A RECALL PLACED ON IT THEN IS A "DODGE PROBLEM"? AND SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FURNISHING A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THE UNSAFE PART HAS BEEN REPLACED? THIS VEHICLE IS MY EVERYDAY DRIVER /COMMUTER TO AND FROM WORK AND TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY TO SPORTS FUNCTIONS AND ANYTHING IN BETWEEN! I FIND IT UNEXCEPTABLE THAT DODGE HAS NOT TAKEN OWNERSHIP IN HELPING PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION SINCE THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE FACT THAT A VEHICLE THEY SELL DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY FIX FOR THE INDEFINITE FUTURE ( PER THE DEALER)! DODGE NEEDS TO DO ONE OF TWO THINGS, EITHER FURNISH A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR REPLACE MY VEHICLE ENTIRELY WITH AN ACCEPTABLE REPLACEMENT.

I DO NOT BELIEVE A SAFETY RECALL IS BEING HANDLED IN A TIMELY MANNER. A PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED THAT COULD CAUSE BODILY HARM OVER 3 MONTHS AGO AND THEY STILL HAVE NO REMEDY OR PARTS TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM.

2005 RAM 2500 4X4. KMC XD ROCKSTAR RIMS (20*10"), 37*12.5*20 NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER TIRES. I'VE HAD THE XD RIMS FOR 2 1/2 YEARS, NO PROBLEMS, ALL HIWAY MILES, NO OFF-ROADING. SITTING IN DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS, I NOTICED A FLAT TIRE, AFTER AIRING UP TO 50 PSI AS DESCRIBED ON DOOR JAM, I SPRAYED DOWN WITH SOAPY WATER LOOKING FOR LEAK, HUGE BUBBLE OCCURRED ON THE BASE OF THE RIM, CLEANED THE AREA AND FOUND A 3/4" CRACK LEAKING AIR. KMC WILL EVALUATE THE RIM FOR WARRANTY. I'VE SINCE READ MANY STORIES OF THE SAME WHEEL HAVING CRACKS.

TAKATA RECALL MY HUSBAND AND I ARE EXPECTING OUR FIRST CHILD IN ONE MONTH AND WERE TRYING TO TRADE IN MY 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 FOR AN SUV THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE OUR FAMILY AND BECAUSE OF THIS INCOMPLETE RECALL, NO DEALERSHIP WANTS TO BUY OUR CURRENT VEHICLE. ON TOP OF THAT, THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE OR CAN PROVIDE THE MATERIALS NEEDED TO FIX OUR TRUCK AND CLEAR THE RECALL. WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATOR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE HARM TO US AND OUR FUTURE CHILD. WE ARE HAVING TO HOLD ONTO THIS 2005 VEHICLE THAT POSES A DANGER TO OUR FAMILY BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER THAT WILL NOT GET THEIR STUFF TOGETHER AND ACT QUICK ENOUGH ON THE REPAIR. NO ONE CAN FIX THE RECALL RIGHT NOW AND HAVE NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR SO WE COULD BE STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK FOR MANY MORE YEARS TO COME. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS SO THAT DODGE WILL QUIT DRAGGING THEIR FEET AND TAKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE SERIOUSLY.
