ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR THE PAST WEEK MY ENGINE WAS DIFFICULT TO START. CRANKED FOR ABOUT 20 SECOND BEFORE STARTING. TODAY THE ENGINE CRANKED BUT FAILED TO START. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD AND CHECKING THE BATTERY I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX, TIPM, WHICH IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE BATTERY. I OPENED THE COVER TO THE TIPM AND NOTICED WHITE POWDER, ACID. THE NEGATIVE LEAD WHICH IS ALSO CONNECTED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIPM HAD WHITE POWDER RESIDUE ON THE CONNECTOR. I TRIED ONCE AGAIN TO START THE VEHICLE BUT ONLY CRANKED. THEN SOME SMOKE WAS OBSERVED COMING FROM THE TIPM. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND MADE SURE NOTHING WAS STILL BURNING. I READ ON LINE THAT TIPM FAILURE IS COMMON WITH MY VEHICLE AND OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS BUT A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED. THIS COULD HAVE TURNED INTO A SAFETY ISSUE IF MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CATCH FIRE. I HAVE TO SPEND $100 IN TOWING COST AND ~$800 TO REPAIR.

ENGINE
TRUCK HAS A 53 BLOCK WHICH HAS CRACKED BELOW THE #5 CYLINDER FREEZE PLUG AT 74,000 MILES. FIRST NOTICED OVERHEATING WITH LOSS OF COOLANT THAT DIDN'T GO ON THE GROUND, THEN FOUND 53 ON BLOCK AND FOUND CRACK. DODGE WILL NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OF THE 53 BLOCK EXISTS, AND HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT RUDE IN THEIR DENIALS AND LACK OF INFO. CUMMINS WILL AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS OFFERED NO SOLUTIONS FOR A PROBLEM CAUSED BY POOR BLOCK DESIGN. ESTIMATES TO FIX ARE ABOUT $9,000. WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A DODGE EXTENDED WARRANTY, HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE THE TRUCK TO OVERHEAT, WHICH COULD LEAVE DRIVER AND PASSENGER(S) STRANDED OR EVEN CAUSE A FIRE.

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
PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WILL LOCK / UNLOCK ONLY WITH KEY OR BY PULLING UP/PUSHING DOWN THE MANUAL LOCK CONTROLL IN THAT DOOR. IT CANNOT BE OPERATED WITH THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS IN EITHER THAT DOOR OR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, AND IT WILL NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE OTHER THREE DOORS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT BEGAN DOING THIS AFTER IT WAS ABOUT ONE YEAR OLD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO LOCK THIS DOOR FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE, FOR CHILDRENS SAFETY, OR TO KEEP SOMEBODY FROM ENTERING.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING DONE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DO THE REPAIR DUE TO THE CONDITION OF MY DASHBOARD MY DASHBOARD, LIKE MOST DODGE TRUCKS FROM THE SAME TIME PERIOD IS CRACKED SOMEWHAT SEVERELY. THIS IS NOT DUE TO ANYTHING I HAVE DONE, INSTEAD IT IS DUE TO THE PLASTIC SELECTED BY DODGE WHEN THEY BUILT THE ORIGINAL DASHBOARDS. THE DEALERSHIP DID ADVISE THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE DASHBOARD IN ORDER TO ALSO REPLACE THE INFLATOR, UNFORTUNATELY WITH LABOR AND MATERIAL THIS WAS GOING TO BE A $1600 COST. THE DASH WAS NOT RECALLED BECAUSE DODGE CONSIDERS IT A COSMETIC ISSUE, NOW UNFORTUNATELY IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT IS PREVENTING THE REPAIR.
