ENGINE
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE RAM TRUCK IT WOULD SUDDENLY DIE, I WOULD NEED TO TURN THE IGNITION ALL THE WAY OFF AND IT WOULD RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM. I WORKED FOR THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY FOUND NO STORED CODES IN THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT FIVE TIMES AND EACH TIME NOTHING WAS FOUND. IT STOPPED AND HAS NOT RE-OCCURRED IN ALMOST 20,000 MILES. IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO A HIGH ENGINE REV FOR NO APPARENT REASON (LIKE I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL BUT I WAS NOT). EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELLERATE AND I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED OF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT NORMALLY. IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY AFTER RESTART. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN JEFFERSON WISCONSIN WHO CHECKED FOR CODES AND FOUND NOTHING STORED IN THE COMPUTER.

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.

STEERING
MANY REFER TO IT AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IT HAS DONE IT AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 75 MPH AND IT CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY. I AM NOT ONLY WORRIED FOR MY WELLNESS/LIFE BUT MY FAMILY MEMBERS AS WELL. THIS VEHICLE IS USED AS A DAILY DRIVER.

STEERING
I RECEIVED RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR AIR BAG AND STEERING LINKAGE REPLACEMENT. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL FIXES. I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE BOTH PARTS SO THE APPOINTMENT WAS SET FOR ABOUT 4-5 WEEKS LATER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS FIXED BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE RECALL ON THE STEERING LINKAGE. THEY STATED MY TRUCK HAD THE "OLD DODGE PART" SO THAT WAS NOT COVERED. THIS PART IF FAILS WILL CAUSE ME TO HAVE NO STEERING CONTROL. I HAD A CHRYSLER CERTIFIED MECHANIC LOOK AT THE STEERING PART ON MY TRUCK AND HE STATED IT WAS SO BAD HE WOULD BE SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SO EVEN THOUGH THE STEERING PART IS BAD TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS DODGE IS CLAIMING THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. WHY WOULD I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE?

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND BREAKING APART. I KNOW IF MANY DODGE RAM'S THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT COSMETIC AS DODGE CLAIMS BUT IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP, OR BOTH. THE CRACKS SEEM TO JUST APPEAR. I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING.

THIS VEHICLE QUALIFIES FOR THE BUY BACK PROGRAM BUT FCA IS ONLY OFFERING A TRADE-IN VALUE PLUS 10% OF THAT VALUE. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND THEY ARE ONLY OFFERING TO PURCHASE IT FOR $11,000 AS A BUY BACK AMOUNT. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW FOR $51,000 AND I DON'T NOT SEE HOW A $40,000 REDUCTION FOR DEPRECIATION IS ACCEPTABLE OR REASONABLE. I FEEL THEY ARE TRYING TO RIP ME OFF FOR THE SECOND TIME. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I COULD SELL THIS TRUCK ON THE OPEN MARKET FOR SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $23,000 AND $32,000 AND I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SLAP IN THE FACE.
