HORN SIGNALS AT WILL WITHOUT NOTICE AND EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF WITH KEYS REMOVED. CAUSES GREAT AND FRIGHTENING REACTION OF THIS DRIVER AS WELL AS THOSE AROUND ME.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
IN DRIVING RAIN, AND ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO REPEATEDLY TURN THEM ON IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE RAIN FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY DEFECT AND FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER, BUT ITS CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON, DENNIS, REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL, CLAIMING THE VIN WASN'T INCLUDED. HE ALSO, MAGNANIMOUSLY, OFFERED TO "REIMBURSE" FOR THE EXPENSE "IF THE RECALL IS EXPANDED." UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE AND OBVIOUS, BLATANT LACK OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY, AND ESPECIALLY FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH IT KNOWS HAS THIS VERY DEFECT.

WHEELS
ON 04-02-2015 I EXPERIENCED A RAPID LOSS IN PRESSURE AND A FLAT REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH IN RAINY CONDITIONS. I FOUND THAT THE VALVE STEM WAS MISSING WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THE TIRE. I BROUGHT THE TIRE TO A CHAIN TIRE STORE AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE VALVE STEM NUT HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE FAILURE. I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE BOTH REAR TIRES BECAUSE THE SHORT DISTANCE DRIVEN TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC DESTROYED THE FLAT TIRE. THE OTHER NUTS WERE EXAMINED AT THAT TIME AND CORROSION WAS NOTED BUT NO CRACKS WERE OBSERVED. IT IS NOW 10-29-2015 AND I'M NOTICING THAT ONE OF THE OTHER VALVE STEMS IS CRACKED ON THE OLDER TIRES. I NEED TO HAVE THE STEM REPLACED BEFORE IT FAILS CATASTROPHICALLY. I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING A TPMS FAILURE BUT DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS RELATED. THE TIRE REPAIR COST $400+ AND IN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ALL TOO COMMON PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER FURTHER AND DETERMINE IF A RECALL IS NECESSARY.

WHEELS
BOTH FRONT TIRES ARE EXHIBITING BUBBLED SIDEWALLS ON THE LT235/85R16 TIRES SUGGESTING EARLY STAGES OF TREAD SEPARATION FROM CARCASS. DRIVER'S SIDE LOOKS TO BE OUT OF ROUND AS WELL. LOT NUMBERS ARE IDENTICAL ELW0408. NO ACCIDENT AS YET, BUT APPEARANCE IS WORRISOME BASED ON LISTED FAILURES IN IN THE NHTSA DATABASE. AFTER THE RECENT REPORTS ON THE POOR TRACKING OF TIRE FAILURES AND LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY, I BELIEVE THIS REPORT IS RELEVANT AND PERTINENT TO PUBLIC SAFETY.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS PART OF THE PINION RECALL AND WAS REPAIRED 11/15/2013. RECENTLY THE DRIVING OF THE TRUCK CAUSED NOISE AND OBVIOUS DIFFERENTIAL ISSUE. THE ENTIRE GEAR KIT AND DIFFERNTIAL NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO IT BEING STRIPPED. OUT OF POCKED $3000. RECALL STATED SINCE THE PINION WAS REPLACED IT IS UP TO US TO FIX. THE DIFFERENTIAL RECALL "DID NOT IMPACT" THIS VEHICLE YET I SUSPECT IT SHOULD. THE DODGE HOTLINE STATES THAT AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER THUS IT IS NOTHING THEY WILL ACT ON. I SUSPECT THE ARE LINKED THUS EXPECT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER RECALL FOR THESE WITHIN THIS LOT NUMBER. TOO COINCIDENTIAL THAT ONLY SOME AND NOT ALL ARE PART OF THIS RECALL.
