ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR DOOR WIRING HARNESS: WIRES BREAK INSIDE OF RUBBER HOUSING CAUSING TOTAL WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK FAILURE. THE EXPOSED WIRES COULD ARC AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THE METAL RESULTING IN A FIRE. IF CHILD LOCKS ARE ENGAGED OR IF THE DOOR IS LOCKED YOU ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COULD RESULT IN THE REAR PASSENGERS BECOMING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT FIRST THE VEHICLE WAS NOT STARTING IMMEDIATELY WHEN TURNING THE KEY, THEN I HEARD A BUZZING SOUND COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK MY HUSBAND HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR IT TO STOP. WE TOOK IT IN TO THE SERVICE DEPT AT A DODGE DEALER AND AT THE TIME THEY COULD NOT VERIFY PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT AND NOTE WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I DROVE IT A FEW MORE TIMES AND WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD DIE MORE FREQUENTLY WITH THE ON HILLS, FROM A STOP SIGN, AND ON STRAIGHT AWAYS, ONCE THE STEERING FROZE. THERE WERE FEW DAYS OF THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING AT ALL. A VEHICLE OWNER SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THEIR TRUCK, WHICH I AM. A MONTH LATER I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPT AND THEY HEARD THE BUZZING SOUND AND THEN WAS ABLE TO VERIFY THAT IT WAS THE TIPM . I HAVE NOTICED OTHER OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. HERE I HAVE A VEHICLE, MIND YOU WHICH I JUST PURCHASED LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO AND I AM HAVING THESE MAJOR ISSUES. BUT THE WORST PART IS IT WILL COST $1600.00 TO REPAIR AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. NO ONE SHOULD PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS ESPECIALLY IF IT COULD RESULT IN BODILY HARM OR DEATH. SOMEONE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM.

WHEELS
THE SPARE TIRE CABLE SNAPPED QUITE POSSIBLY CAUSING MY SPARE TIRE TO FALL OUT ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE OR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I LAST CHECKED THE SPARE TIRE IN NOV 2015 AND NOTICED IT GONE IN APRIL 2016. ALL THAT REMAINS IS A SPLINTERED CABLE. IN TALKING TO PEOPLE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS THEY TELL ME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IN MY CASE IF IT DID INDEED FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT NO ONE GOT HURT. I DO NOT KNOW IF NEWER VEHICLES ARE STILL EQUIPPED WITH THESE CABLES. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF SECONDARY SYSTEM TO PREVENT THE TIRE FROM FALLING OUT SHOULD THE CABLE SNAP AS I HAVE NOW COME TO UNDERSTAND TO BE A FAIRLY FREQUENT OCCURRENCE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS RIDING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY RAM 2500 PICKUP ON A COLD SNOWY DAY IN CENTRAL NY WHEN MY DEFROSTER JUST STOPPED WORKING. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD NEARLY DRIVING INTO A DITCH BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO SEE. THE WINDSHIELD WAS COMPLETELY FOGGED OVER. I MADE IT HOME STOPPING EVERY MILE TO WIPE THE WINDSHIELD SO I COULD SEE. IWAS TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND AN EXPENSIVE FIX. HOW IS A RECALL NOT DONE ON THESE TRUCKS? IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS!!! I AM LOOKING INTO FILING CHARGES AGAINST DODGE FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THEY NOW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THEM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED LAST NOVEMBER. THE FACTORY WINDSHIELD IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH AT NIGHT, AND IF WE'RE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT, WHAT LITTLE VISIBILITY THERE IS. IS LIMITED TO LESS THAN 50 FEET. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN COOS BAY, OREGON SAYS THAT IT'S A FACTORY-INSTALLED WINDSHIELD AND DECLINES TO TAKE ANY FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY. THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT REQUIRES OUR USING THE HIGH BEAMS (WHEN SAFE FOR ONCOMING DRIVERS -- NOT A GOOD MIX.) THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN COOS BAY, OREGON INVESTIGATED THE HEADLIGHTS WITH A VISUAL CHECK, AND SAID THEY'RE "OKAY."

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
THE TRANSFER CASE OF THE TRUCK BROKE SUDDENLY AND SINCE I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MILES, THE ROTATION OF THE METAL PARTS KEEP GOING AND BROKE MAYOR PARTS UNDER THE RUCKS SUCH AS TRANSMITION, SUSPENSION, OIL LINES, DIESEL LINES, AND MUCH AND MUCH MORE EVEN MADE A HOLE UNDER THE CABIN. THE PART UNDER THE TRUCK JUST LOOK LIKE SOMETHING EXPLODED BECAUSE THE DAMAGE IS TOO BIG. EVEN BEYOND REPAIR FOR ME.
