STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
DODGE RAM 2008 QUAD CAB 1500 SERIES. AT THE TIME I CALLED INTO DODGE I HAD ROUGHLY 60 THOUSAND MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED DODGE IN 2014 AND THEY TOLD ME ALTHOUGH THAT WAS THE MODEL AND SERIES THAT WAS PART OF A RECALL THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL . THE PROBLEMS I HAD ENDURED WERE SWAYING OF THE TRUCK ALMOST TO THE EXTENT WHERE THE TIRE FELT LIKE IT WAS WOBBLING AND THE TRUCK SHAKING WHEN I EXCELLERATED OVER 50 MPHS . IT WAS AT THAT TIME WHEN I TOOK A ROAD TRIP FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2014 WHEN THIS STARTED GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I PRETTY MUCH HAD TO DRIVE 40 MILES AN HOUR THE I75 FREEWAY BECAUSE THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FLIP OVER WHEN I WAS EXCELLERATING. IT WAS RIGHT THERE AFTER THAT I CONTACTED DODGE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT AND THEY TOLD ME ALTHOUGH I HAD THE YEAR AND MAKE OF THE RAM BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY RECALL. SO THERE AFTER I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIE RODS AND THE SWAY BAR AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND ALSO REPLACE MY TIRES NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT WHICH WERE NEW FROM THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2011. MY BIGGEST FEAR WAS THE VEHICLE THAT WAS THE SAFEST OF THE 2 MY FAMILY OWNS WAS NOW A RISK TO MY CHILDREN,MY SPOUSE AND I. I ALSO HAD FELLOW VACATIONERS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME WHICH WITNESSED THE VEHICLE SHAKING OBSESSIVELY WHEN WE WERE ACCELERATING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HORNS BEGAN HONKING RANDOMLY WHEN THE TRUCK WAS OFF AND NO ONE WAS IN IT OR WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. AT ONE TIME THEY BEGAN HONKING WHILE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING PANIC TO THE SURROUNDING TRAVELERS. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THEM WHICH NOW POSES A SAFETY RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. DEALER SAYS IT IS THE TIPM WHICH CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND HAS IT SHE RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME CONFIGURATION AS MY TRUCK. NOW THE TRUCK HAS TO BE INSPECTED FOR SAFETY TO KEEP THE LICENSE PLATES CORRECT AND IT WILL NOT PASS WITHOUT PERFORMING A $1200 REPAIR ON A PART THAT IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, THE FUEL PUMPS STOPPED WORKING AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE POME BUT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE PUMP IN FACT IT WAS THE TIPM BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THE TRUCK WAS THEM OUT OF WARRANTY IT WAS UP TO ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.
