THE SPARE TIRE HOIST CAN BECOME INOPERABLE, NOT ALLOWING YOU TO RAISE NOR LOWER THE SPARE TIRE. HOWEVER, OVER TIME, THE CABLE BEGINS TO SLOWLY LOWER THE SPARE TO WHICH THE SPARE BEGINS TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. EVENTUALLY, THE CABLE GIVES WAY AND BREAKS, ALLOWING THE TIRE TO FALL OFF. IN MY CASE, I HAD NEVER BEEN ABLE TO RAISE OR LOWER MY SPARE TIRE, NOR HAD THE DODGE DEALERSHIP OR ANY ALTERNATE PLACES THAT REPLACE TIRES. IT WAS ALMOST 9 YEARS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE SPARE TIRE HAD LOWERED AND WAS ROCKING BACK AND FORTH, HOWEVER, THE HOIST WAS STILL INOPERABLE, AND THE TIRE HAD NOT LOWERED ENOUGH TO ACCESS THE MOUNTING BOLTS FOR THE HOIST NOR TO CUT THE CABLE. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WHEN I NOTICED ALL THE CARS BEHIND ME SWERVING EVERY WHICH DIRECTION.....AND THEN I NOTICED A TIRE BOUNCING ON THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF THEM. I HAD MY SUSPICION SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO CHECK ON MY SPARE JUST TO FIND THAT IT AND PART OF MY HOIST WERE MISSING. LUCKILY, NOBODY GOT HURT AS RUSH HOUR WAS JUST UNDER WAY SO THE NUMBER OF CARS ON THE ROAD WAS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN NORMAL. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE OWNED THIS TRUCK, I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO USE MY SPARE (AND I'VE HAD A FAIR SHARE OF FLATS BUT HAVE LUCKILY BEEN CLOSE ENOUGH TO FRIENDS OR FAMILY THAT COULD HELP). ON EVERY INSTANCE WHERE I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THEY MERELY TOLD ME I COULD PAY THEM TO FIX IT. WHY SHOULD I PAY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT NEVER WORKED FROM THE MOMENT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED?

FIAT/DODGE IS REFUSING TO HONOR THEIR COURT ORDER AND BUY MY RECALLED TRUCK BACK AT FAIR MARKET VALUE PLUS 10% OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE. INSTEAD I WAS OFFERED TRADE IN PLUS 10% OF THAT. I WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM TRYING TO MAKE A DOLLAR OFF OF THEIR MISTAKE. THEY ARE PUTTING MY FAMILIES SAFETY AT RISK EVERY DAY THEY PLAY THIS LOWBALL GAME.

THIS WAS MY FATHERS TRUCK. I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY WHEN HE PURCHASED IT. UPON HIS DEATH, I BEGAN DRIVING THE TRUCK. IT WAS STILL BRAND NEW, BY APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS. IN ONE INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING IN SATICOY, SOUTH ON THE 118 BEFORE GOING OVER THE BRIDGE. AS I GOT A YELLOW LIGHT, I SLOWED DOWN AND THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY STALLED AND HAD NO ABILITY TO STEER. I WAS IN THE TRUCK, WITH MY MOTHER, AT AN INTERSECTION AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OUR LIVES WERE IN DANGER DUE TO TRAFFIC. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, I RESUMED TO MY DESTINATION. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I ARRIVED TO WHO IS NOW MY SISTER IN LAWS HOUSE, LOCATED IN SIMON WAY. IN THAT EVENING IT WAS MY TURN TO DRIVE TO OXNARD COLLEGE. AS I PULLED OUT OF HER DRIVEWAY, THE TRUCK AGAIN STALLED. I HAD TO RESTART IT AGAIN AND DECIDED THAT WE WOULD GO TO SCHOOL IN HER VEHICLE. THESE TWO INCIDENCES ARE JUST A COUPLE OF MANY BAD EARLY ON EXPERIENCES WITH THE 2005 DODGE RAM TRUCK I HAD AND WOULD GO TO YOU GUYS AND COMPLAIN, AND YOU GUYS NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE NOTHING EVER RESULTED IN YOUR DIAGNOSTIC AND WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU GUYS WHEN ON ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS IN YOUR POSSESSION. ATTACHED SEE EXHIBIT 1 WHICH SHOWS OF A VEHICLE RENTAL ON 12/06/06 WHEN THE DODGE TRUCK WAS IN YOUR POSSESSION. I PRECISELY RECALL WHY I HAD THE STRATUS RENTAL AND IT WAS BECAUSE CROWN DODGE HAD MY TRUCK, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. CROWN DODGE WAS BILLED FOR THE RENTAL. WELL, CROWN DODGE INSPECTED THE TRUCK, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. EXHIBIT 2 DEMONSTRATES ANOTHER TIME THAT I COMPLAINED BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. TO DATE, THE DODGE RAM TRUCK 1500 CONTINUES TO STALL. MY HUSBAND USES THIS VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK. AT TIMES HE USES THIS VEHICLE TO TAKE OUR CHILDREN OUT AND I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THIS.
