UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS 2ND OWNER FOR PAST 12 YRS VEHICLE WAS LIKE NEW, ABOUT 3YRS AGO IT DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO GLOVE BOX DOOR AND SINCE HAS CRACKED IN 2 OTHER AREAS FROM WINDSHIELD TO FRONT! THIS VEHICLE SITS UNDER COVER OF AN RV SHELTER WITH MY RV 90% OF IT'S EXISTENCE! I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED ANY RECALL TO TO CORRECT THIS FAULTY PRODUCT FOR THOUSANDS OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM! I.CANNOT BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT MADE CHRYSLER RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THIS INFERIOR PRODUCT AS THEY HAVE THE AIR BAGS. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY PRAY THAT YOU CAN USE YOUR POWER TO HOLD CHRYSLER TO STAND UP AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM!

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

VISIBILITY/WIPER
80 MILE DRIVE HOME IN RAIN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING! TRUCK HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. INTERMITTENT WIPER STOPS, STARTS, RUNS AT DIFFERENT PACES. COMPLETELY SCARY TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND CAN'T SEE THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS! THE COMPANY SHOULD REPLACE THIS AT NO COST. APPARENTLY THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RECALLED, BUT MY VIN WASN'T A PART OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE? A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT WON'T TAKE CARE OF A LOYAL CUSTOMER WITH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR THE SAFETY OF USING THE VEHICLE IS LIMITED BY WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHAT IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND I HAD BEEN KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY WIPERS DIDN'T WORK AND THE COMPANY NEW IT WAS AN ISSUE AND WOULDN'T FIX IT? VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS PROBLEM AND THE COMPANY'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 60 MPH, FOLLOWING THE LAW, RAIN STARTED COMING DOWN, WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK SO I COULD SEE THE ROAD. EXTREMELY UPSETTING AND SCARY TO BE IN THAT SITUATION. WOULD HATE FOR MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. SEMI TRUCKS WERE SPLASHING WATER ONTO MY WINDSHIELD AND I COULDN'T CLEAR THE WATER TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!!

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TIPM ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE HAVE CAUSE IT TO TURN OFF SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC AND MADE IT INOPERABLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED ME $1200 TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND AFTER DRIVING 2 MILES UP THE ROAD THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. AS I WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WAITING ON THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE I DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK RETAINING STRAP DETACHED FROM FRAME CROSS-MEMBER CAUSING FUEL TANK TO HANG UNSECURED UNDER VEHICLE CAUSING POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES! DODGE DEALERSHIP STATES FRAME STRUCTURE RUSTED DUE TO BAD DESIGN, MANUFACTURER FAILED TO DESIGN A MOISTURE DRAIN INTO THE BOXED FRAME WHICH CAUSED THE STRAP ATTACHMENT POINT TO GIVE AWAY. DEALER STATES NON-REPAIRABLE ** NON-DRIVEABLE! FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE IN RENDERING ANY TYPE OF RESOLUTION. NO CONCERN REGARDING POSSIBILITY OF HAVING FUEL TANK FALLING FROM VEHICLE. I MENTIONED LATER YEAR PRODUCTION OF SAME MODEL HAS A NEW DESIGNED CROSS-MEMBER. THIS SUBSTANTIATES A KNOWN FAILURE/DESIGN FLAW. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. A <7 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE A FRAME STRUCTURE RUST TO POINT OF RENDERING VEHICLE UNSAFE AND UNDRIVEABLE. PLEASE HELP! NEEDS ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE SUFFERS INJURY OR WORSE. ALSO NEED HELP MOTIVATING MANUFACTURER TO RIGHT A WRONG. PREFERRABLY NOT AT MY (CONSUMERS) EXPENSE.
