POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SHOPPING CENTER ACCESS ROAD AT 15-20 MPH, THE DRIVE SHAFT SEPARATED FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WITHOUT WARNING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEAKED OUT COMPLETELY. THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. THANK GOD I WASN'T TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2005 MODEL YEARS (DODGE RAM 1500 RECALL 14V796000) AS WELL AS 2009-2010 MODEL YEARS (THIS IS AN EXPANSION OF A PREVIOUS RECALL, NHTSA NUMBER 12V474000, CHRYSLER NUMBER M34.CHRYSLER'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS N08). I FEEL ALL MODELS FROM 2005 THROUGH 2010 AND EVEN 2011 SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

SEAT BELTS
THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR JAMS AND DOES NOT KEEP THE UPPER SECTION OF THE SEAT BELT TIGHT AGAINST THE DRIVER'S CHEST. WHEN MOVING AROUND DURING NORMAL DRIVING THIS CAUSES MULTIPLE INCHES OF SLACK TO DEVELOP AND THE DRIVER NEEDS TO MANUALLY PULL OUT ON THE SEAT BELT AND FEED IT BACK TO REMOVE THE SLACK. THE UPPER MOUNTING LOOP AND THE SEATBELT ITSELF ARE CLEAN AND NOT DAMAGED.

AIR BAGS, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED NHTSA RECALL ID 14V-795-BROKEN SPRINGS IN CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. NEVER NOTIFIED OF NHTSA RECALL ID 13V-528-FAULTY LEFT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY. THE LEFT SIDE DOES MAKE A CLUNKING SOUND. I WAS JUST NOTIFIED (LATE) OF NHTSA RECALL ID 15V-313- FAULTY AIR BAGS. IT'S BEEN A MONTH, I WAS INFORMED THEY HAD NO PARTS AND I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL NOTIFIED AGAIN WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MY SON AND HIS CHILDREN RIDE IN MY TRUCK WITH SUCH A GREAT HAZARD AND I'M TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THEY HAVE PARTS? I CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT NOR CAN I AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE I OWN THIS ONE. I WORK FOR A NON-PROFIT COMPANY AND HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES. WHAT ABOUT THE RECALLS I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF? I WOULD LIKE FCA TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK.

STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKES FAILED COULD NOT STEER CORRECTLY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK SLAMMING INTO AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. IT FELT LIKE I WAS STEERING TO GO STRAIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL JUST TURNED ON ITS OWN. NOW I HAVE A $2800 BILL TO PAY THE BODY SHOP AND I NEED TO GET MY STEERING BOX REPLACED. I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH THAT. AND MOST IMPORTANT I NEED THESE RECALLS DONE ONCE I GET MY TRUCK OUT OF THE BODY SHOP. MY ONLY REQUEST IS THAT WHEN I BRING IT IN TO THE DEALER I WOULD LIKE THEM TO ALSO FIX MY STEERING BOX AT NO CHARGE.

STEERING
NOV. 2012 I BOUGHT MY 2007 DODGE RAM TRUCK 2500 FOR $21,000 SOON AFTER, WE REALIZED IT HAD SOME FRONT END PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT FOR A FRONT END ALIGNMENT THE FOLLOWING MONTH - WHICH DID NOT IMPROVE THE FRONT END STEERING LOOSENESS, VIBRATION AND "CLUNKING". I TOOK IT INTO A LARGE, LOCAL TIRE/ FRONT END SERVICE BUSINESS FOR AN EVALUATION. THE FIRST THING THEY TOLD ME IS WHAT EVERYONE WAS TELLING ME, " THESE DODGE TRUCKS ARE KNOWN FOR BAD FRONT ENDS". THEY DID HOWEVER, THEN TELL ME THAT THE TRUCK WOULD NEED ALMOST $1,000 WORTH OF WORK TO MAKE IT RIGHT. I DID NOT HAVE THEM DO THE REPAIRS BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD IT, I HAD BEEN TOLD BY SO MANY THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR DODGE TRUCKS AND I THOUGHT I SHOULD GET ANOTHER OPINION LATER. THE TRUCK HAS THREE OPEN SAFETY RECALLS ON IT. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP SO THE SERVICE WRITER COULD LOOK AT THE FRONT END (CAME OUT TO THE PARKING LOT AND LOOKED AT IT) SHE SAID THAT IT DID NEED STEERING RECALL REPAIRS. I ASKED THAT PARTS BE ORDERED FOR THAT, PLUS AIRBAG FOR THE THIRD RECALL. SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PARTS, "THE MANUFACTURER ONLY SENDS US A FEW PARTS A MONTH SO WHOEVER IS ON THE TOP OF THE LIST WILL GET A CALL WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE". I LEFT MY NAME/NUMBER. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IT HAD 64,650 MILES AND NOW, THREE YEARS LATER ONLY 67,900. I DRIVE IT ONLY LOCALLY BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST IT, THE STEERING IS UNPREDICTABLE, LOOSE, CLUNKY AND HAS TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE WHEEL. WHEN GETTING UP TO 50 MPH OR SO, IT VIBRATES ALSO. I WANT THIS TRUCK TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CHRYSLER/DODGE BUY BACK PLAN OR THE CLASS ACTION SUITE BROUGHT BY THE OWNER OF A 2007 DODGE RAM 3500 FOR THE "DEATH SHAKE" AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
