I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL; #R36/NHTSA 15V-459. I CALLED PETERSON'S STAMPEDE DODGE IN NAMPA, ID. I SPOKE TO JEN IN SERVICE 208-475-2955. I WAS TOLD THAT 1500 VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. I COULD BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST OF 229 CUSTOMERS, AND WOULD BE CALLED WHEN I COULD BRING THE TRUCK IN. NO ESTIMATED TIME FRAME COULD BE GIVEN. HOWEVER, IF I WANTED TO SCHEDULE AN OIL CHANGE, I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT, AND THE RECALL REPAIR COULD BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE DEALER OIL CHANGE (NORMALLY DO THIS MYSELF) JUST TO JUMP THE LIST FOR A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL. I ALSO DON'T THINK IT IS RIGHT FOR OTHERS TO JUMP AHEAD OF ME BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO HAVE THE DEALER CHANGE THEIR OIL. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LEGAL TO ME.

PURCHASE A BRAND NEW TRUCK IN 2012. TIRES INSTALLED ON TRUCK WERE FROM 2010. HAD TO REPLACE TIRES TO TO OLD AGE. TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND THE TIRES WERE ALREADY 5 YEARS OLD AND STARTED DRY ROTTING. DEALER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHER VEHICLES ARE OR WERE LIKE THIS. ITS A GOOD THING THEY DID NOT BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. INCLUDED IS MY RECEIPT WITH OLD AND NEW TIRES WITH DOT NUMBERS AND DATE CODES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN WITH CONTROLLING MY DODGE PICKUP. WHILE TOWING A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE, I HIT A BUMP ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE SWAYING OF THE TRAILER. BUT NOW BEING VERY SENSITIVE TO THE EVENT, 1) I'VE RECALLED THAT IT HAS HAPPENED PRIOR TO PULLING THE TRAILER AND 2) RECENTLY HAPPENED AGAIN; ALSO NOT TOWING A TRAILER. THE FEELING IS THOUGH ONCE THE BUMP IS IMPACTED, THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING ARM AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AN IMMEDIATE FEELING OF LOSS OF CONTROL. WHEN TOWING THE TRAILER, I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY ROUNDING A CURVE JUST APPROACH A BRIDGE/GUARD RAILS WHEN I HIT THE BUMP. FOLLOW-ON INCIDENT OCCURRED IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. WHILE THE SPEED WAS SLOWER ON THE CITY STREET, THE MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL FEELING WAS NOTICEABLE ENOUGH TO CATCH MY ATTENTION AND CAUSED CONCERN.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE HAD THE SO CALLED " DEATH WOBBLE" 4 TIMES NOW ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND I'M WAITING TO TAKE IT AGAIN TODAY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE FIXED IT EACH TIME BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVEN'T. OUT OF THE BLUE AT 60 TO 65 MPH THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT UNTIL IT STOPS ON IT'S OWN. HITTING THE BRAKES, LETTING OFF THE GAS OR FLOORING IT (AS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO DO) WHEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT LAST TIME DOESN'T HELP. I AM SO AFRAID THAT SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO HAVE THEM BY BACK THE TRUCK BUT THEY SAID IT HAS HAD THE RECALL DONE ON IT SO IT'S NOT ELIGIBLE. WELL WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING THEN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON OCTOBER 1 2015 AT 6:45 IN THE MORNING OUR RAM 5500 WAS BACKED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE DRIVER NOTICED SMOKE AND OPENED THE HOOD. THERE WAS A FIRE. HE USED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT IT OUT AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED. I CONTACTED DODGE AND WASN'T INFORMED THAT I WOULD HEAR FROM AN INVESTIGATOR FROM DODGE THAT WAS GOING TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK. I WAS TOLD THEY WANTED TO INVESTIGATE WHY THE FIRE HAPPENED. AFTER MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS PLACED TO DODGE I WAS GETTING NO ANSWERS. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HEAR BACK IN 24 TO 48 HOURS. I DID NOT HEAR BACK AT ALL IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS. I THEN GOT THE TRUCK FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I OPERATE A SMALL BUSINESS AND HAD TO HAVE THIS TRUCK RUNNING. THE AUTO SHOP REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AS THAT WAS BURNT AND APPEARED TO BE THE PROBLEM. I'VE STILL YET TO HEAR FROM DODGE ON THEIR RESPONSE. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES. ON AN ADDITIONAL NOTE IT QUALIFIED FOR THE FEDERALLY MANDATED BUY BACK, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RESPONSIVE TO PHONE CALLS CONCERNING THAT AS WELL.
