ENGINE
WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 TO 65 MPH THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT ON THE DASH BEGINS TO FLASH, THE VEHICLES ENGINE BECOMES ERADIC, SOMETIMES IT DIES, OTHER TIMES IT REVS HARD AND WON'T CHANGE INTO ANOTHER GEAR, ALL CONTROL OF THE FUEL SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE LOST CAUSING A SERIOUS SITUATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS TO THE ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY, SOME DAYS YOU CAN DRIVE 70 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER DAYS IT WILL GO CRAZY AS DESCRIBED WHEN THE LIGHT FLASHES. WHEN THE VEHICLE DIES ON THE HIGHWAY, IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR STOP IT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 5 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND THE FIFTH BEING A DODGE SERVICE CENTER. THIS DODGE SERVICE CENTER HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 4 WEEKS ABOUT TO ENTER THE FIFTH WEEK AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE THROTTLE BODY WITH TPS SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR REPLACED TWICE, EGR VALVE REPLACED, PCV VALVE CLEANED AND INSPECTED, PCM REPLACED AND RE FLASHED, THE BATTERY REPLACED, ALTERNATOR REPLACED, ALL 4 O2 SENSORS REPLACED AND THE WIRING HARNESS AND ALL CONNECTORS TESTED AND INSPECTED. THE VEHICLE STILL IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT GAVE UP AND TOLD ME TO COME AND GET MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND GOT THEM INVOLVED, THEY'RE RESOURCE TECHNICIANS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOW FOR 2 WEEKS AND STILL NO ANSWERS AND I STILL HAVE NO VEHICLE.

MY TRUCK FUEL LIGHT CAME ON TRUCK SPUTTERED AND DIED IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. LUCKILY I WAS IN A GOOD SPOT TO PULL OVER AND STOP. I LIFTED THE HOOD AND COULD SMELL WIRES BURNING. I LIFTED THE FUSE BOX LID AND SEEN THE FUSES SMOKING SO I PULLED ONE FUSE THAT WAS THE STARTER SOLENOID FUSE.I WAS ON HIGHWAY WITH LOTS OF ROCK CUTS AND HILLS. TURNS OUT TO BE THE TIPM. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY .DEALERSHIP REPLACES IT FOR APP. 1400.00 AND IT STILL NEVER FIXED PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTICS . HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO END UP COSTING. I HAVE NO FUEL GAUGE, FRONT WINDOWS DON'T WORK , WIPERS WORK WHEN AND HOW THEY WANT, AIR CONDITIONING TURNS ON BY ITSELF, TEMPERATURE GAUGE SAYS ITS 56 DEGREES CELSIUS OUTSIDE. DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT THIS ONE. I THINK THIS COULD HAVE ENDED UP WORSE BUT I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY ON A TRUCK PULL OFF AT THE BOTTOM. I HAVE BOUGHT 5 NEW DODGE TRUCKS OVER THE YEARS AND HAD PLANNED TO BUY MORE TILL NOW. I HOPE I CAN GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK. TRADE IT IN REAL SOON.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IGNITION SWITCH IS SO LOOSE THAT IT GETS STUCK BETWEEN RUN AND THE OFF POSITION AND IT MAKES FOR VERY FATAL DRIVING SITUATIONS. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED, AND ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS "BUMPED" UP AND DOWN. THERE WAS A NEAR CRASH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IGNITION SWITCH IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT DODGE HAS RECALLED IN THEIR VANS, BUT IT ISN'T RECALLED IN MY RAM 3500 FOR SOME REASON. IT IS A FATAL FLAW THAT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. DODGE HAS A FILE OF THIS AND REFUSES TO PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THAT IT CAN CAUSE A FATAL CRASH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT FIRST MY TRUCK STARTED TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO ACTUALLY START. IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT ONLY RUN AT 200 RPM AND DIE OUT. THIS PROBLEM WAS SPORADIC AND SEEMED TO BE WORSE AFTER THE TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN STARTED FOR 12 HOURS. EVENTUALLY THE PROBLEM WENT FROM OCCASIONAL TO WEEKLY AND DAILY. THERE WAS NO DASH LIGHTS INDICATION AN ISSUE. MY TRUCK STALLED TWICE ON ME WHILE DRIVING TO WORK . EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED I WOULD SIT IN THE STREET, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND THAT I WAS NOT IN A TURN. WHEN THE VEHICLE DIED I WOULD LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO A MECHANIC. HE CHECKED IT AND SAW NO MAJOR ISSUES, STATING THAT ALL OF THE READINGS WERE NORMAL WHEN CHECKED. WE DECIDED TO CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS AND FLUSH THE FUEL SYSTEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. DROVE GREAT AFTER THE WORK. THE NEXT MORNING IT DID NOT START, BACK TO MECHANIC AGAIN, WAS TOLD TO LEAVE THE KEY TURNED TO ON POSITION TO HELP THE FUEL PUMP PRIME/ ALL READINGS WERE NORMAL. ISSUE PERSISTED. LEFT TRUCK AT MECHANIC THIRD TIME WHILE OUT OF TOWN FOR THE WEEK SO HE COULD TAKE READINGS AFTER THE TRUCK SAT, SINCE THAT WAS WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENED. AGAIN THE MECHANIC WAS NOT CONFIDENT OF WHAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE SINCE THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, IT WAS TAKING ME OVER 45 MINUTES TO START TRUCK EACH DAY, IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. THEN IM STARTED NOTICING MY BATTERY WAS DEAD ON MANY MORNINGS. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO HOW LONG I WAS CRANKING TO START, UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN I HAPPENED TO WALK BY MY TRUCK AND HEAR A HUMMING SOUND. I WENT UNDERNEATH AND COULD TELL IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I UNPLUGGED THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND THE HUMMING STOPPED. FOR NOW I JUST UNPLUG THE FUSE EVERY TIME I STOP TO KEEP THE PUMP FROM DRAWING DOWN MY BATTERY. CONTACTED LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $1200.OO TO REPLACE TIPM.

STEERING
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH PULLING AND THE RIGHT TIE ROD CAME APART AND WE HEADED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THE DODGE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE LEFT TIE ROD IN TRUCKS OF OUR SAME YEAR AND MODEL WERE UNDER RECALL, BUT NOT OURS. WE HAD TO REPAIR IT ON OUR OWN. THE LEFT TIE ROD IS NOW BAD ON OURS BUT LUCKY WE WERE TOLD ABOUT IT DURING A TIRE ROTATION. DODGE SAYS THAT OUR TRUCK ISN'T COVERED EVEN THOUGH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL TRUCKS ARE.

MY GREATEST FEAR IS THAT BECAUSE THE DASHBOARDS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE SO FRAGILE, IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS DURING AN ACCIDENT THE FRAGMENTS WOULD BE DEADLY. MY DASH IS ALREADY CRACKED AND TINY SHARDS BLOW THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN THE BLOWER IS ON. IT'S DANGEROUS AND THE DASHBOARD ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME WITH THESE VEHICLES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
