EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS WILL UNEXPECTEDLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND WAS OK FOR ABOUT A WEEK, BUT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. SOMETIMES IF HOOD IS SLAMMED, LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOT A CONNECTION/ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS. MANY OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM. RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED ALREADY.

SUSPENSION
THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM HAS BROKEN, AS IF IT HAD BEEN CUT, DOWN THE MIDDLE. EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A FRIEND, I HAVE NEVER ABUSED THIS VEHICLE IN ANY FASHION. THE PERSON FROM WHOM I PURCHASED IT DID USE IT TO PULL A 5TH WHEEL RV. I WAS JSUT AMAZED BY THE WAY THE CONTROL ARM BROKE.

AIR BAGS, STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH, I HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE FREEWAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY,STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPPED WAS I HAD TO REDUCE MY SPEED TO COMPLETE STOP , THE PROBLEM WAS I WAS TOWING A 16' TRAILER WITH A 4000 LB LOAD ON IT, I WAS IN FRONT OF A SEMI TRUCK WITH A FULL LOAD, IT WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. . IT HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 MPH ON FREEWAY NEXT DAY WITHOUT THE TRAILER I HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROADWAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPPED WAS I HAD TO REDUCE MY SPEED AND STOP. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY THIS HAPPENING TO THEM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN USING MY TURN SIGNALS (MAINLY LEFT SIGNAL) THE OPPOSITE TURN SIGNAL COMES ON INDICATING I AM TURNING RIGHT INSTEAD OF LEFT. SEVERAL INSTANCES I HAVE COME CLOSE TO A NEAR ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM, BUT VERY INTERMITTENT. RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE STATES THAT THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE TURN SIGNALS WORKING IMPROPERLY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS THAT I KNOW OF.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL YEARS NOW BUT AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION. I WAS DRIVING MY PICK-UP IN TOWN WHEN I LOST MY GAUGE LIGHTS AND I NOTICED AT THE SAME TIME I LOST ALL MY MAKER LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER AND FOUND A BLOWN FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. RIGHT AWAY IT BLEW AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT ALSO BLEW THE CERCIT IN THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, WICHATA LEFT ME NO CHOICE BUT TO BYPASS THE CURCIT AND GET POWER TO MY LIGHTS FORM ANOTHER SOURCE. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE TIPM IS $850 THAT DON'T INCLUDE THE COST OF REPLACING IT AND THEN PROGRAMING IT TI THE VEHICLE. SO I DECIDED I WASN'T GOING TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR SOMETHING THAT I HAD ALREADY FIXED BY BYPASSING THE PROBLEM. THEN A FEW YEARS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AROUND 65 MPH AT NIGHT WHEN I LOST MY HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS UPON FURTHER DIAGNOSIS I FOUND IT TO BE THE TIPM AT FAULT AGAIN. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ABOUT IT AND THEY TOLD ME IT TOO WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. SO I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER ABOUT BOTH ISSUES AND TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. SO I LET IT GO WITHOUT PRESSING THE ISSUE ANY FURTHER. AS TO MY KNOWLEDGE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. BUT AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM, THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND BITE THE BULLET AND FIX THE PROBLEMS. DUE TO THESE ISSUES BEING MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEMS. (I.E. LOSS OF WIPERS, LOSS OF LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, AND TURN SIGNAL FLASHING THE WRONG WAY)
