ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
IN SEPTEMBER 2015 MY TRUCK ENGINE SHUT OFF ON I-20 W AFTER A HARD BRAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE APPROACHING A TRAILER WITH A WIDE LOAD ON A BRIDGE OVERPASS. I WAS THE LEAD VEHICLE AND HAD THE LEFT LANE MOMENTARILY BLOCKED UNTIL I COULD RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK, IT TOOK TWO ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THEN, IN DECEMBER 2015 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE CITY AFTER A MODERATE STOP AT A RED LIGHT, AGAIN HOLDING UP TRAFFIC UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT ONE TENTH MILE THE ENGINE QUIT AGAIN AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS A HARD BREAK SITUATION TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT BUT THE SECOND TWO SHUTDOWNS HAPPENED WITH LIGHT BREAKING WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE ENGINE HAD TO BE RESTARTED, IT REQUIRED A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT WOULD ENGAGE AND THEN RAN ROUGH FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE SMOOTHING OUT. EACH INSTANCE WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE FIRST TIME AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70MPH AND THE LAST TWO AT 30 OR 40 CITY MPH. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS SINCE THE LAST TIME BUT I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO LIGHTLY APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN POSSIBLE. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SO THAT PROMPTED ME TO FILE THIS REPORT. I FEEL THE PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH A ENGINE ELECTRONIC CONTROL OF SOME SORT OR OTHER. THE ENGINE IS THE VERIABLE 5.7L HEMI. MY WIFE HAS BEEN SO UPSET WITH THIS HAPPENING, SHE REFUSES TO RIDE IN MY TRUCK ANYMORE. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, MOSTLY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW TRUCK. BUT, I DON'T WANT TO TRADE UNTIL I FIND OUT IF THIS PROBLEM IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER I HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL.

AIR BAGS
IN OCTOBER 2015, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA), REGARDING THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER AIRBAGS. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED WINDWARD DODGE, KANEOHE, HAWAII, TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE PARTS WERE ON A LARGE BACKORDER AND HE WOULD CONTACT ME ONCE THE PARTS ARRIVED. SINCE THEN, I RECEIVED FOUR MORE SAFETY RECALL NOTICES REGARDING THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER AIR BAGS. I CALLED WINDWARD DODGE SEVERAL TIMES TO FOLLOW-UP ON PARTS AVAILABILITY, LEFT MESSAGES FOR A CALL BACK WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL IN NOVEMBER 2015 FROM FCA ALERTING ME OF SAID SAFETY RECALL. I INFORMED FCA THAT I HAVE TAKEN THE STEPS TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR, BUT STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD BY THE FCA REP THAT THEY WILL CONTACT WINDWARD DODGE AND I SHOULD BE EXPECTING A CALL FROM THEM. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A PHONE CALL TO DATE. IT IS NOW MONDAY, 11 JAN 16. IF THIS IS SUCH AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" LIKE THE NOTICE SAYS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, THEN WHY IS FCA AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS NOT ACTING WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY TO GET THESE REPAIRS DONE. APPRECIATE THE ASSIST! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEMS AND PINION NUT RECALL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IN APRIL 2013, THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK LOCKED UP AND THE CONSUMER ENDED UP IN A DITCH, DAMAGING THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUCK. WHEN THE CONSUMER EXITED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE DRIVE SHAFT NEXT TO THE VEHICLE, HALF ON THE PAVEMENT AND HALF IN THE DITCH. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND IT WAS EVENTUALLY FIXED. IN MARCH 2015, HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE HEARD A BANGING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED, HE LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE DRIVE SHAFT ON THE PAVEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE CONSUMER THEN LEARNED OF THE RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM HE EXPERIENCED TWICE. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED IN 2013, IT NO LONGER QUALIFIES FOR THE RECALL. *JB
