UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. WHEN I RECIEVED THE NOTICE IN THE SPRING OF 2015, I WENT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER TO GET ON SOME KIND OF "LIST". THEY LOOKED AT THE RECALL NOTICE, TOLD ME THEY WOULD TAKE MY NAME AND PHONE NUMBER AND CALL ME WHEN THEY HAD PARTS. I DID EXPECT SOME WAIT TIME DUE TO THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES AFFECTED, BUT I HAVE HAD NO CONTACT FROM ANYONE SINCE THAT TIME. NOW I HAVE ANOTHER NOTIFICATION; I'M NOT INCLINED TO WASTE MY TIME GOING TO THIS DEALER AGAIN. I EXPECT THEM TO CONTACT ME.

STEERING
THIS TRUCK HAS HAD ISSUES WITH STEERING SINCE ABOUT 10,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD THE PREVIOUS STEERING RELATED RECALL (13V529000) FIXED YET THE STEERING STILL DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. I HAD BROUGHT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. LAST SUNDAY I TURNED ON TO A TWO LANE ROAD AND AT A CRUISING SPEED OF ABOUT 35 MPH MY STABILITY CONTROL STARTED GOING CRAZY. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, A LOUD POP. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON WHEN I REALIZED THE CAR WAS NOT REACTING TO MY TURNING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ON A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVE AND VEERING INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE WITHOUT STEERING AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES JUST BEFORE HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AVOIDED A HEAD-ON COLLISION ONLY BY CHANCE THAT THERE WASN'T A VEHICLE COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION. WITH THE KNOWN STEERING ISSUES OF THE TRUCK I AM NERVOUS THE EXISTING RECALL DIDN'T PROPERLY FIX THE TRUCK'S STEERING PROBLEMS. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RELATED TO THE STEERING RECALLS. I HAD A BROKEN DRAG LINK TERMINAL AND PITTMAN ARM (NEITHER UNDER WARRANTY). MY TRUCK HAS 70,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON-ROAD ONLY AND UNDER NORMAL TO LIGHT CONDITIONS FOR ALL THE MILES. IN MY OPINION THESE CRITICAL COMPONENTS SHOULD NEVER BREAK ESPECIALLY AT ONLY 70K MILES ON A SUPPOSEDLY HEAVY DUTY TRUCK. WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, THIS EVENT COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH MUCH WORSE. WE ARE THANKFUL.

HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. EVEN ON BRIGHT LIGHTS, THEY ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. IN SPEAKING WITH OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS, THEY, TOO HAVE SEEN A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT FROM THE REDISIGNED HEADLIGHTS. CANNOT HARDLY SEE 20 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK AT NIGHT.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
ON SAT. 11/21/15 I WAS DRIVING EAST ON I-80 AT MARTIS VALLEY IN TRUCKEE, CA. SUDDENLY, I FELT A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. AS I SLOWED TO MERGE INTO THE RIGHT LANE, SO THAT I COULD PULL OVER, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLOWS TO PIECES, MY TRUCK LUNGES INTO THE RIGHT LANE, NARROWLY MISSING A SUBARU, AND I FINALLY GET SAFELY PULLED OVER. THE TIRES, BFG KO2 ALL TERRAIN, ARE BRAND NEW, LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THEM. COST ME $2200.00, BOUGHT THEM 2 WEEKS EARLIER FROM DISCOUNT TIRE IN RENO, NV. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO BFG TIRES, I HAVE FOUND OVER 150 COMPLAINTS, JUST IN THE PAST SIX MOS., OF EITHER THE SAME BLOWOUT THAT HAPPENED TO ME, OR THE TREAD OF THE TIRE PEELING OFF COMPLETELY. SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE COMPARED TO THE DAMAGE THAT MY TRUCK ENDURED. THIS MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TIRES BEING ON 3/4 AND 1 TON TRUCKS, AS THE CYCLE OF "MOST" OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THESE VEHICLES. BFG THEN TELLS THE CONSUMER THAT THEY NEED THE TIRE TO DETERMINE WHY THE TIRE FAILED. THEN AFTER THEY GET THE TIRE THEY DENY THE CONSUMERS CLAIM, AND TELL THEM THAT THE TIRE FAILED BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THE CONSUMER HAD DONE, I.E. LOW TIRE PRESSURE, STRUCK SOMETHING, ECT... SEEMS TO BE THE SAME STORY OVER AND OVER. I HAVE NEW TIRES ON ORDER, SOME NITTO'S. NEVER TRIED THEM, BUT I HAVE A LOT OF BUDDIES THAT RUN THEM. I HOPE THAT THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEBODY CAUSES A BAD ACCIDENT. I HAVE THE SHREDDED TIRE THAT I WAS HOPING TO SEND TO YOU GUYS TO SEE IF YOU COULD DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE BLOWOUT. THANK YOU *TR
