RECALLED IN JULY FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR WHICH COULD RUPTURE AND LEAD TO METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THIS IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA AND MY HUSBAND USES THIS TRUCK TO BUILD SWIMMING POOLS-LOTS OF DRIVING. THIS DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE, CALLED TO GET ON THE "WAITING LIST" 7/14/15. CALLED AGAIN TODAY, THEY TOLD ME IT "COULD BE MONTHS TO A YEAR" BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 1-2 PARTS PER MONTH.

STEERING
I WAS COMING OUT OF THE HILLS AFTER A DAY OF HUNTING AND AS I MADE IT BACK TO TOWN LUCKLY GOING SLOWLY I TURNED THE CORNER AND MY DRIVER SIDE TIE ROD END BROKE. LEAVING MY TRUCK STRANDED IN A SMALL TOWN ABOUT 5 MILES FROM MY CAMP. TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL SHOP THE NEXT DAY CAUSE THIS HAPPEND ON A SUNDAY AND GOT IT FIXED. THE MECANIC AT THE LOCAL SHOP TOLD ME THIS WAS A RECALLED PART. SO AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM MY HUNTING TRIP I LOOKED IT UP AND IT IS A RECALLED PART ON MANY DODGE VEHICLES. WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED? IF THIS HAPPEND AT 65 MILES AN HOUR MY 4 KIDS PROBLEY WOULDENT HAVE A FATHER TODAY. I HAVE A RECITE FOR THE WORK DONE. NOT ONLY DO I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND COMPENSATION FOR MY TIME I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED OF ANY OHTER RECALLS. THIS DODGE OF MINE IS A PAVEMENT POUNDER. IT DRIVES FREEWAYS ONLY MOST OF THE YEAR AND ONLY A COUPLE WEEKS OUT OF THE YEAR DRIIVES MOUTAIN ROADS DURING HUNTING SEASON TO GET ME TO AND FROM MY LOCATIONS TO GET OUT AND HIKE BEHIND CLOSED GATES. IT HAULS NOTHING OTHER THAN A FEW ANIMALS AND A SMALL 19 FT TRAVEL TRAILER DURING HUNTING SEASON.

TIPM CONTROL UNIT IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT AND QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER INITIALLY SWITCHING FROM LOW TO HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT IF I TURNED THEM OFF AND THEN BACK ON THEY WOULD WORK AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THEY QUIT ALTOGETHER. CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK AND HAS SINCE ACCORDING TO THEM DISCONTINUED THE PART. I AM LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SOURCE TO REPAIR OR SOMEONE IS SELLING THEM AT THIS TIME. ALSO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON. ALSO LOW WASHER FLUID LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON AS IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SENSOR.

DODGE HAS HAD A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND HAS NEVER PROVIDED THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENT PARTS TO OUR LOCAL DEALER FOR CORRECTION. SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THEIR LACK OF PROGRESS AND FORCE THEM TO MAKE TIMELY COMPLIANCE AS MANDATED. UNCERTAIN AS TO THE DATE RECEIVED NOTICE, HOWEVER SEVERAL MONTHS HAVE PASSED.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NO INDICATORS OF ANY ISSUES TO THIS - WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65 AND 75 MPH THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SMOKE NOT ONLY OUT OF THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK BUT UNDERNEATH THE BODY AS WELL AS UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK, AND WE BEGAN TO SMELL FUEL. THE CEL LIGHT THEN COMES ON. WE HAD THE WHOLE FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AND A SMALL FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THIS IS REALLY NERVING SINCE DODGE/CHRYSLER AS WELL AS CUMMINS KNOWING THIS LINE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS NOT DONE A DARN THING ABOUT IT TO RECTIFY ANY COMPENSATION. I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I GUESS IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING REALLY HURT BUT YOUR ATTITUDE OF NOT WANTING RECALL SUCH A FIRE HAZARD! LOOK AT ALL THE FORUMS AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FUEL LINE! LINE TO 4TH INJECTOR NOW MAJOR REPAIR BECAUSE OF IT ALL THE FUEL LOST UNDER THE HOOD AND ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND FIREWALL!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STARTED DYING THEN TAKING BACK OFF, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED ODOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO WOULDNT COME BACK UP WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING, THEN THE ABS LIGHT THE CHECK ENGING LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT AND WASHER FLUID LIGHT ALL CAME ON AND I LOST POWER TO THE TAIL LIGHTS HEAD LIGHTS AND THE WINDOWS STARTED ROOLING UP AND DOWN BY THEM SELVES. WHEN I GOT HOME AND TURNED OFF THE TRUCK I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE TIPM AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THE TRAILER I WAS PULLING MUST OF HAD A SHORT AND THATS WHAT CAUSED IT. I TOLD THEM THAT I WASNT PULLING A TRAILER AND THEY CALLED ME A LIAR AND HUNG UP ON ME THE WINDOWS CONTINUED TO ROLL UP AND DOWN UNTILL THE BATT WAS DISCONNECTED. THE NEXT MORNING I THEN HOOKED THE BATTERY BACK UP AND IT ALL WORKED FINE. NO PROBLEM A COUPLE WEEKS LATER IT STARTED AGAIN FINALL FOUND A SHORT IN THE LIGHT CONTROL ON THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT REPLACED THE PART THAT HOLDS THE BULBS AND THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF. NOW IT HAS SINCE STARTED DOING IT ALL AGAIN BUT WILL NOT RESET ITSELF I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE TIPM WOULD RESET ITSELF FIVE TIMES THEN WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEH WAS NOT PULLING A TRAILER WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE ONLY TRAILER I PULL WITH IT HAS THE LIGHTING PACKAGE WORKING FINE ON ALL TRUCKS I HOOK IT TO BUT NOT THIS ONE. PLEASE GET THE DODGE COMPANY TO RECALL THESE PEICES OF JUNK IM TIRED OF PAYING 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A BUNCH OF PARTS TO FIND OUT ITS THEIR PIECE OF JUNK TIPM CAUSING ALL THE PROBLEMS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN SWITCHING ON A TURN SIGNAL, BOTH LIGHTS FLASH OR NOTHING HAPPENS. WIPERS FAIL OR WORK SPORADICALLY. WIPERS DON'T WORK WHEN I NEED THEM TO AND CAUSES ME TO NOT DRIVE IN THE RAIN. THE BLINKERS WORK HALF THE TIME AND ALMOST CAUSES SOMEONE TO HIT MY TRUCK BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS TURNING RIGHT WHEN I HAD THE BLINKER TO TURN LEFT.
