TRYING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO GET LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE FRONT AND PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATORS PER RECALLS 14V-770 AND 15V-313. DEALER INSISTS THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. CALLED DODGE RECALL RESOLUTION TEAM ON TWO OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO SCHEDULE SERVICE WITH THIS DEALERSHIP. RECALLS ARE USELESS IF DEALERSHIPS REFUSE OR DELAY REPAIRS. WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE IS AVAILABLE OR WHAT NEXT STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN.

ENGINE
MY 2004 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL PICK UP TRUCK SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND STALLS WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND ENTERING HIGHWAY. FIRST OCCURRENCE ENTERING HIGHWAY TRUCK RESTARTED AND CONTINUED TO RUN. 2ND OCCURRENCE NEXT DAY ON HIGHWAY TRUCK RESTARTED BUT TRAVELLED SHORT DISTANCE AND STALLED AGAIN IN THE ROAD. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED BATTERIES AND BATTERY WIRING AND TRUCK STARTED, BUT WHEN TEST DRIVEN BY DEALER THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. DEALER NOW BELIEVES FUEL PUMP OR "MODULE" MAY BE CAUSE BUT IS HAVING TROUBLE TESTING DUE TO MANUFACTURER CHANGE IN WIRING. DEALER REPORTS THAT CHRYSLER MADE A MID YEAR FUEL PUMP "MODIFICATION" TO 2004 MODELS WHILE IN PRODUCTION AT CHRYSLER AND THAT WHILE WIRING IS SIMILAR TO 2005 YEAR, THE COLOR CODING USED ON THE MODIFICATION DOES NOT MATCH THE 2004 OR 2005 COLOR CODING. DEALER HAS REQUESTED WIRING SCHEMATIC FROM CHRYSLER FOR THE 2004 MODIFICATION BUT TO DATE CHRYSLER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON ROAD SINCE STALLING CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE REMAINS IN SHOP AT CHRYSLER DEALER WITH PROBLEM UNSOLVED. ALL MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DONE BY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS. NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH FUEL SYSTEM OR STALLING.

STEERING, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 65MPH AND SUDDENLY THE TRUCK AND STEERING BEGAN VIBRATING AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY UNTIL I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. IT FELT LIKE ALL FOUR TIRES HAD BLOWN OUT. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAD NEVER HEARD THIS AND HE ALSO SAID TO CHANGE THE STEERING DAMPENER, WHICH I DID. THIS VIOLENT VIBRATION HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS SINCE THE STABLIZER SHOCK WAS REPLACED. I WILL NOT DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY ANY LONGER WITH MY TRUCK DUE TO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY/STERRING/SUSPENSION ISSUE THAT VERY EASILY COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM/DEATH DUE TO POSSIBLE ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN
THE REAR AXLE BROKE ON THIS TRUCK AND I MADE THE REPORT ON YOUR WEBSITE BACK IN 2004 AND I ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SENT SOMEONE TO CHECK THE TRUCK AND THESE GUY SAID TO ME AND MY MOTHER THAT WE WERE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.I KEPT CALLING CHRYSLER REQUESTING A COPY OF THE REPORT MADE BY THIS PERSON AND THEY HAVE IGNORED ME TILL NOW. THIS IS THE REASON WHY I REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO YOUR OFFICE BECAUSE THE "ACCIDENT REPORT" IS VERY CLEAR WHAT BROKE IN THIS TRUCK. IF YOU LOOK AT MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT YOU WILL READ ABOUT THE LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE AN HOUR PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER ASKING OVER AND OVER FOR A COPY OF THE REPORT AND THEY KEEP DENYING IT, AND THIS IS WHAT I NEED YOUR OFFICE TO HELP ME OBTAIN FROM THEM. YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTED PRIOR THE RECALL ON THE 2005 TRUCKS.WHENEVER CHRYSLER WRITES TO ME THEY WRITE ABOUT "AIR BAGS" COMPLETELY IGNORING THE REQUEST SO TO ME IS VERY CLEAR THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING. I KNOW THE TRUCK WAS FIXED AND SOLD TO SOMEONE NAMED "PEDRO OSAGA". MY INSURANCE PAID OFF THE TRUCK TO THE RENTAL COMPANY AND MY MOTHER AND I INCURRED LOTS OF INJURIES FROM THIS ACCIDENT AND IT MAKES ME SICK THAT THIS MANUFACTURE CONTINUES TO HIDE THE TRUTH FROM ME. PLEASE I'M ASKING AGAIN TO HELP ME OBTAIN THE REPORT MADE ABOUT THIS TRUCK REGARDING THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT FROM CHRYSLER. SORRY I CAN'T UPLOAD THE ACCIDENT REPORT, BUT IF YOU NEED IT I WILL SEND YOU A COPY OR MAYBE BY THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO SEND IT VIA EMAIL.
