DRIVING TO WORK AND HIT BUMP ON FREEWAY AT 70MPH. TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY ON RIGHT SIDE FRONT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS OCCURRED. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT 102,000 AND SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS AT 141,000. IT IS KNOWN AS THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE". THE REPAIR THE FIRST TIME CONSISTED OF REPLACING THE FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS. THE REPAIR WAS DONE BY AN OFF-ROAD SHOP. TOMORROW (6/6/16), THE TRUCK GOES TO THE REPAIR SHOP FOR EVALUATION. THIS TIME WAS SCARY. THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO REDUCE SPEED RAPIDLY AND WAS LUCKY THAT IT WAS THE WEEKEND AND THERE WERE ONLY A FEW VEHICLES BEHIND ME.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, A NOISE AND VIBRATION OCCURRED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT OF THE REAR PINION BEARING HOUSING. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A SHOP AND THEY FOUND THAT THE PINION NUT WAS LOOSE, THE PINION BEARINGS WERE CHEWED UP, THE PINION GEAR WAS BENT, AND THE REAR END PINION BEARING HOUSING WAS SCARRED. VEHICLE REQUIRED A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. THIS OCCURRED AT 80,000 MILES. THERE ARE 17 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS ON THIS NHTSA WEBSITE ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THE 2006 MODEL. YET THERE IS RECALL #14V79600 WHICH COVERS ONLY 2005 AND 2009-2012 MODEL YEARS. WHY IS 2006 NOT COVERED WHEN THERE HAVE BEEN 17 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING ON THIS WEBSITE ALONE? PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR 2006 AS WELL.

TAKATA RECALL - I AM UNABLE TO GET THIS RECALL COMPLETED. I HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST FOR OVER 6 MONTHS, AND AM STILL BEING TOLD THAT THE DEALER IS NOT BEING PROVIDED WITH AN APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF UNITS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. I HAVE CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS JUST HOW IT IS. I AM UNDERSTANDABLY WORRIED THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THIS WILL CAUSE INJURY TO ME. I HAVE NOW RECEIVED AT LEAST 6 RECALL LETTERS, BUT STILL CANNOT GET THE RECALL COMPLETED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FAULTY TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE CREATES A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE CAN CHANGE FROM 2WD TO 4WD AT ANYTIME. A SITUATION LIKE THIS CAN CREATE A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SIGNIFICANT SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, TRYING TO TAKE A TURN WHILE THE DRIVER EXPECTS TO BE IN 2WD BUT THE VEHICLE IS IN 4WD WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO TAKE WIDER TURNS THAN NORMAL. THIS MAY LEAD TO THE VEHICLE ENTERING INTO THE PATH OF ENTERING ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION.
