POWER TRAIN
WE HAD THE EXACT THING HAPPEN TO US. WE WHERE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD BANG. THE REAR END OF OUR TRUCK WENT OUT. WE WHERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERES AND HAD TO BE TOWED ABOUT 150 MILES. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM "FRIDAY'S RECALL MARKS THE THIRD TIME CHRYSLER HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THE DODGE RAM'S REAR AXLE." HOWEVER WHEN WE PUT OUR VIN NUMBER INTO THE SYSTEM IT STATES OUR TRUCK IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. HOW DO WE REPLACE THIS? IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IF WE BUY A REPLACEMENT PART HOW DO WE FIND A GOOD REAR AXLE, WHEN THEY WHERE ALL RECALLED? DODGE SHOULD WIDEN THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL THE TRUCKS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM...

TAKATA RECALL. I AM WRITING TO RELATE MY EXPERIENCES IN ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALL SERVICE WORK, REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALLS, PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALLS ARE REFERRED TO AS P78 (DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG) AND R25 (PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG). OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS I HAVE TRIED ON MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES, TO ARRANGE THIS SERVICE RECALL WORK VIA DEALERSHIPS DIRECTLY AND WITH THE FCA US RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER - DURING WHICH BOTH THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE EXPRESSED THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA ON EITHER PART AVAILABILITY ETA OR WHEN THE SERVICE RECALL WORK COULD BE PERFORMED. INITIALLY I ATTEMPTED PERSONALLY CALLING DEALERSHIPS, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN SECURING AN APPOINTMENT DUE TO DEALERSHIPS EITHER NOT RESPONDING OR DEALERSHIPS HAVING NO IDEA ON PART AVAILABILITY OR WHEN RECALL SERVICE COULD BE MADE. I THEN ATTEMPTED CALLING THE FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES) RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WITH AN FCA REP, MYSELF AND A DEALERSHIP ALL ON THE SAME CALL, THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED PARTS AND APPOINTMENT. AFTER APPOINTMENT THE P78 RECALL FIX HAD NOT BEEN DONE - MARKED NO PARTS NO ETA. I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE AGAIN, AND AFTER ALMOST AN HOUR OF MYSELF AND THE FCA REP TOGETHER CALLING DEALERSHIPS, ALL THE DEALERSHIPS AGAIN EXPRESSED THEY HAD NO IDEA ON WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND NO IDEA WHEN THE SERVICE RECALL COULD BE PERFORMED. I APOLOGIZE IF THIS IS THE INCORRECT FORUM (WEBSITE SUGGESTED BY FCA) TO RELATE THESE FCA AND DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCES. I APPRECIATE THIS IS A HUGE RECALL AFFECTING MILLIONS OF VEHICLE AND VEHICLE OWNERS. I THOUGHT IT MAYBE WORTHWHILE TO RELATE MY EXPERIENCES OF BOTH THE FCA AND THE DEALERSHIPS, REPEATEDLY CONVEYING THEY HAVE NO IDEA ON PARTS ETA AND NO IDEA AS TO WHEN THE SERVICE RECALL WORK COULD BE DONE. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER BLOWER IN MY TRUCK HAS BEEN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, BUT GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT RARELY WORKS NOW. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP A FEW WEEKS AGO, BUT THE SYSTEM HAPPENED TO WORK THAT DAY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. HOWEVER, I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE CAUSE IS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH/WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR WHICH ACTUALLY MELTS FROM THE HEAT CAUSED BY IMPROPER WIRE GAUGE/DESIGN. THIS INFORMATION CAN BE READILY FOUND ON DODGE TRUCK FORUMS BY DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON EARLIER MODEL YEARS (SAFETY RECALL #875 ACCORDING TO ONE SITE) BUT NONE THAT I COULD FIND FOR MY MODEL YEAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED BY FROST OR FOGGING OF THE WINDSHIELD SINCE THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER WILL NOT WORK. MOREOVER, FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S HEATER COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN VERY COLD WEATHER--ESPECIALLY IN REMOTE LOCATIONS. IT MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE FOR THE OVERHEATED/MELTED CONNECTORS/COMPONENTS TO CAUSE A FIRE OR TO MANIFEST OTHER FAILURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH (UNCOMMANDED ENGINE CUTOFF, ETC.). THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE. *TR
