STEERING, SUSPENSION
PERSONAL VEHICLE, ONE OF TWO, DROVE ON INTERSTATE 87. EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING ON THE FRONT END WHEN DRIVING OVER PAVEMENT TO BRIDGE TRANSITION ANGLED LEFT WHEEL FIRST, WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. STEERING WHEEL SHOCK VIOLENTLY FOR 4 TO 5 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON MY TRIP UP NORTH. I HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE, BUT NOT AS SEVERE. I BELIEVE THE PAVEMENT TO BRIDGE THEN BRIDGE TO PAVEMENT TRANSITION BEING ANGLED, AMPLITUDE THE SEVERITY OF THE FRONT END SHAKING. MY VEHICLE DID HAVE RECALL WORK ALREADY DONE, THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THOUGH I LOVE MY RAM, I WILL NOT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, WHITE KNUCKLED AT TIMES. I CONSIDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR DRIVING.

POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING SOUND FROM THE REAR AXLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. I SLOWED DOWN TO SEE IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEN I COULD SENSE THAT THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS SOMEHOW LAGGING WHILE ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. I DROVE AT ABOUT 40-60 MPH ALL DAY AND DECIDED TO DROP IT OFF AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. NEXT DAY, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE PERSON EXPLAINING THAT MY TRUCK'S DRIVE SHAFT FELL DOWN AS SOON AS HE TOOK IT OUT TO A TEST DRIVE ON INTERSTATE 10. HE TOLD ME THAT THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE GARAGE WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT GETTING DRAGGED ON THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER AND I BOTH HAD TO MAKE A NUMEROUS PHONE CALL TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE AGREED THAT IT WAS DUE TO A RECALL THAT I HAD NOT HAVE. CHRYSLER REP., AFTER 3 HOURS OF TALKING ON THE PHONE AND WAITING, AGREED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE REPAIR AND THE DEALERSHIP PUT THE DRIVE SHAFT, WHICH HAD BEEN DRAGGED ON THE GROUND FOR 1/4 MILE, BACK TO MY TRUCK WITHOUT REPLACING IT. EVER SINCE THEN, IT HAS BEEN MAKING A VERY ANNOYING "WHINING" SOUND FROM THE REAR AXLE AT LOW SPEED(10-40MPH) UNTIL TODAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY MISTAKE TO BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT THAT HAD SO MANY RECALLS AND PROBLEMS UNTIL I SAW A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE TALKING ABOUT CHRYSLER'S RECALL INCIDENT. TODAY, I REALIZED THAT THIS INCIDENT I HAD WAS NOT EVEN THE PART OF DODGE RAM'S RECALL. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY I10 IN HOUSTON IF I HAD TO DRIVE ANOTHER MILE ON THE DAY BEFORE I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP.

WE HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK BACK JUST AFTER WE PURCHASED IT NEW AND THEY PUT A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER IN AND THAT DIDN'T FIX THE VIBRATION. WE HAVE HAD IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT . WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH A FIX WE WERE BE CONTACTED. ITS STILL VIBRATING AND HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY FIXES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM TIPS FAILURE ... I DID THE RECOMMENDED 10,000 MILE FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT AND TURNED THE IGNITION KEY "ON-OFF" THREE TIMES WITHOUT STARTING THE VEHICLE AS OUTLINED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I NOW HAVE AT LEAST 10 WARNINGS ON MY VEHICLE: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BRAKES, TRAILER, WILL NOT START, NO AIR CONDITIONING, HEADLIGHTS STAY ON, ONLY DRIVER SIDE OF BRAKES WORK, DIESEL REGENERATION REQUIRED POWER WILL BE REDUCED.....ETC. LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM TIPS SHORT CIRCUITED. THEY SAY IT WILL COST AT LEAST $1,200.00. AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING WITH THE TIPS, THERE MUST BE A RECALL. IN FACT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN THE TIPS SORT CIRCUIT JUST BECAUSE THE OWNER WASHED THEIR VEHICLE AND WATER GOT INSIDE THE TIPS.

STEERING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE IN A PARKING LOT THE LEFT SIDE TIE ROD BROKE, WHICH I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN IN THE PARKING LOT AND NOT 2 MINUTES EARLIER WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT 75 MPH ON THE TOLL WAY. I HAD JUST RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, AND HAD NOT HAD TIME TO TAKE IN IN. ONCE THE TRUCK ARRIVED TO THE DEALERSHIP MAXWELL SUPER CENTER LOCATED IN AUSTIN TEXAS, THEY ARGUED WITH ME THAT THE TIE ROD THAT HAD BROKE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT. I LITERALLY HAD TO PROVE TO THEM ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY THAT THIS WAS THE TIE ROD UNDER THE RECALL AND THAT EVERYONE CONCERNED WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER RECALL ON MY TRUCK AS WELL THAT THEY WERE NOT YET PREPARED TO FIX AND THAT I WOULD BE PLACED ON A LIST AND CALLED ONCE THE NEEDED ITEMS WERE AVAILABLE TO MAKE SUCH REPAIRS, AND TO THIS DATE I HAVE YET TO HERE BACK ON THAT RECALL SO HOPEFULLY MY TRUCK DOESN'T CATCH FIRE UNTIL THEY GET AROUND TO NOTIFYING ME. THE SAD PART OF THIS WHOLE THING IS CHRYSLER WANTED ME OUT OF MY PREVIOUS TRUCK BECAUSE EVEN AFTER A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT THEY STILL COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUES AND MAKE IT SAFE AND RELIABLE THIS WAS ON A 06 DODGE RAM 2500 THAT WOULD GET 21 MPG VS THIS 2010 THAT GETS 14 MPG WHICH THEY SAY THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG, I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK IN 2 TIMES FOR A GASKET AROUND THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT THAT LEAKS IN THE RAIN THUS FILLING THE TRUCK UP WITH WATER ON THE INSIDE.

STEERING
I HAVE HAD TWO RECALLS FROM CHRYSLER ON THIS TRUCK AND THEY HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY PARTS TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE FIRST RECALL WAS N49 FROM NOV. 6TH 2013. YES, THAT'S 2013, OVER TWO TEARS AGO. THIS IS TO REPAIR A STEERING COMPONENT THAT COULD FAIL AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE A RECALL P65 FROM OCT. 7TH 2014. THIS IS TO REPAIR A FUEL COMPONENT THAT COULD FAIL AND CAUSE A FIRE IN THE VEHICLE. BOTH OF THESE ITEMS PRESENT SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES TO THE OPERATORS AND PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE UNRESPONSIVE AUTO MANUFACTURER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK, NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO DASH LIGHTS, COULD NOT EVEN PUT THE TRUCK IN ANOTHER GEAR TO TRY AND MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. I COULD TURN THE KEY TO ON BUT NOTHING WOULD WORK. WINDOWS, DASH LIGHTS. IT WAS AS IF THERE WAS NO BATTERY. WHEN I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE TRUCK TO CHECK THE BATTERY, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK AND THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP AND DROVE OK. THIS HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS EARLIER SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT WAS FIVE YEARS OLD. IT HAD THE SAME EXACT CONDITIONS AS BEFORE.
