ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND ONLY USE FOR 6 WEEKS A YEAR AT OUR VACATION HOME. I HAVE HAD STEERING/ENGINE[INJECTORS]/DRIVELINE ISSUES BUT BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE TIPM. I MADE THE MISTAKE AND PLUGGED IN THE BOAT TRAILER AND THEN THE LEFT LOW BEAM WENT OUT. TOOK TO DEALER FOR A REFLASH AND THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE THE HEADLIGHTS WORK BUT NOW HAVE THE TURN SIGNAL ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME I NEED ANOTHER TIPM SO SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT 1 ALREADY[OFF WARRANTY] I AM HOPING WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS, FIAT/RAM WILL ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE? I TURN LEFT AND THE RIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON???I WOULD RATHER HAVE NO LOW BEAM THAN THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER OWN A FIAT VEHICLE DUE TO MY PAST AND CURRENT ISSUES WITH THE TIPM IN THIS 2006 DODGE RAM [MADE IN MEXICO] 2500 LARAMIE WITH A 5.9 CUMMINS....

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT RESONANT OSCILLATION UPON HITTING A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WAS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 35 MPH, ONCE THE RESONANT OSCILLATION OCCURS. I'VE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP LOCALLY, AND THEY HAVE REPLACED ALMOST EVERY FRONT END COMPONENT AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR SEVEN MONTHS DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS, AND IT STILL HAS THE ISSUE. I CANNOT LET MY CHILDREN DRIVE IT, I CANNOT, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, SELL IT. I'M AT A LOSS AS TO A PATH FORWARD.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD IN THESE VEHICLES BEGINS TO CRACK OVER TIME DUE TO DEFECTIVE PLASTIC MATERIAL. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE DUE TO THE FACT IT CAN CRACK WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND PIECES OF THE PLASTIC CAN SHOOT INTO THE CAB AND INJURE ANY PASSENGERS. DOGE NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS EVEN THOUGH SOME MODELS ARE OLDER VERSIONS
