AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) HAS BEEN DANGEROUS. ALL FOUR WINDOWS WENT DOWN WHILE TRUCK WAS UNATTENDED AND LOCKED SEVERAL TIMES. WE REPLACED THE EXPENSIVE TIPM AND CAR STOPPED DOING THAT. A FEW MONTHS LATER, WE FOUND OUT THAT JUST ONE ELECTRICAL ITEM CAN CAUSE THE ENTIRE TIPM BURN OUT THAT AFFECTS ALMOST EVERYTHING IN THE CAR. FOR US IT WAS THE BACKUP CAMERA THAT HAD A SHORT. IT CAUSED AIR BAGS, SEAT BELT SAFETY, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, DEFROST/FAN, BACKUP CAMERA, LOCKS NOT TO WORK. DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE TIPM AGAIN. WE ALSO BELIEVE THE TIPM MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR TRANSMISSION LOCKING INTO GEAR.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. THE FCA AIR BAG RECALL IS A JOKE. THEY TAKE YOUR INFORMATION AND THEN SAY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. HOW ABOUT WE EXPECT REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS BEFORE YOU GET INJURED. NOT WE WILL NOTIFY YOU. HOW ABOUT PROVIDING SOME KIND OF UPDATE AFTER 6 MONTHS. THE GOVERNMENT LET THESE PEOPLE OFF WAY TO EASY. IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO TELL THE GOVERNMENT THAT WE WILL RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND THEN NEVER DO IT. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO BE SURE THAT THEY ARE FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH THESE REPAIRS? ARE THEY HOPING THAT THE OWNERS WILL JUST STOP ASKING FOR THE REPAIRS? THE PUBLIC SHOULD AT LEAST BE GIVEN AN UPDATE ON WHEN THEY THINK PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. THEIR RECALL SYSTEM DOES NOT EVEN PROVIDE YOU WITH A DOCUMENT TO PROVE THAT YOU EVER REQUESTED REPAIRS. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP BY MY HOUSE JUST PUT MY INFORMATION ON A PIECE OF PAPER AND THEN TOLD ME I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN A PART WAS AVAILABLE. HOW DOES THE DEALERSHIP OR FCA EVEN KNOW THAT THAT DEALERSHIP IS WAITING ON AN AIR BAG FOR MY VEHICLE? I HAD THE SAME RECALL ON MY FORD AND I WILL TELL YOU IT WAS TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND MY REPLACEMENT PARTS WAS MARKED URGENT IN THEIR SYSTEM AND IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF WITHIN DAYS NOT MONTHS.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE I HEARD OCCASIONAL SCRAPING NOISE AND HAD OTHER VEHICLES FLASH LIGHTS AT ME. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD IN THE 1ST SAFE AREA AND FOUND FRONT OF FUEL TANK HANGING DOWN APPROXIMATELY 8 INCHES AND THE FRONT RETAINING STRAP DISCONNECTED. I THOUGHT THE STRAP HAD DISCONNECTED BUT UPON FURTHER INSPECTION BY MY MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE FRAME WAS ROTTED THROUGH WHERE THE STRAP ATTACHES. MECHANIC STATES THAT I WAS LUCKY NOT TO LOSE THE TANK, POOR DESIGN AND THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A 6.5 YEAR OLD TRUCK. I CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. SUGGESTED I CONTACT CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY CANNOT HELP EVEN THOUGH OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. MY RAM 1500 IS MY EVERY DAY VEHICLE. I DO NOT USE IT FOR WORK OR PLOW WITH IT. TRUCK HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR. DESIGN NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WARRANTY FROM DODGE NOT HONORED DUE TO COMING FROM CANADA . YET AS I HAVE JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A RAM TRUCK FROM ROY ROBINSON CHEVROLET IN MARYSVILLE WA TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASED VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS PRESSED UNLESS PUMPED DODGE WOULD NOT COVER WARRENTY ON VEHICLE AND ROY ROBINSON PAID TO REPAIR MASTER CYLINDER. ITS BEEN 1 MOTH AND HALF AND FROM TIME TO TIME I STILL GET THE SENSATION OF NOT STOPPING UNLESS I PUMP BRAKE . NOW MASTER TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WONT GET OUT OF 5 THE GEAR . SO FOR A UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT NOW HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF BRAKES AND BEING 37500 MILES A NEWER VEHICLE WAS ALLOWED TO BE SOLD AT NEW VEHICLE PRICE. AND STILL DODGE CANNOT TELL ME WHY AFTER GOING THRU CUSTOMS AND DOT AND EPA . WHY THE WARRANTY CANT BE CONTINUED. IM SCARRED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT IM PAYING FOR WHEN IT IS UNSAFE WHAT ELSE WILL GO WRONG AND WHY ARE THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES ALLOWED IN USA.
