AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM SRT 10 THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON & WHEN IT IS ON THE WINDOWS DO NOT WORK NOR DOES THE HEATED SEATS, OF HEAT CONTROLS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY TRUCK NEEDS A $900 PART CALLED THE TIPM COMPUTER MODULE. NOW LOOKING INTO THIS THAT PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON NEWER & OLDER UNITS IN MANY DIFFERENT MAKES & MODELS. HOWEVER CHRYSLER HAS YET TO ORDER A SILENT RECALL ON THIS MAYBE CAUSE IT IS ON SO MANY CHRYSLER VEHICLES & IS GOING TO COST THEM A LOT TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE.?? I BOUGHT MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALER ONLY 1.5 YRS AGO & WITH ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DEFECTIVE FAILING PART THAT MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

STEERING
THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO STEER FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS BEFORE HAVING IT REPAIRED AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON OCT 14, 2013. IT WOULD PULL ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER AND IT WOULD SHAKE AND BE UNCONTROLLABLE. THE DEALER SHIP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL PARTS WITH MOPAR STEERING LINKAGE UPDATED KIT. THIS COST ME $831.95 PARTS AND LABOR, PLUS $15.00 SHOP MATERIALS CHARGE. NOW THAT I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE NP62 / NHTSA 13V-528 FROM CHRYSLER IN JANUARY 2014 STATING THAT IF I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED PRIOR TO THE RECALL NOTICE TO SEND THE ORIGINAL RECEIPTS AND OR OTHER ADEQUATE PROOF OF PAYMENT TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS FOR REIMBURSEMENT : CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE, P.O.BOX 21-8007, AUBURN HILLS, MI 48321-8007 ATTENTION: REIMBURSEMENT. ONCE THEY RECEIVE AND VERIFY THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE SENT TO YOU WITHIN 60 DAYS. I DID THIS AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE MY MONEY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT A HIGHWAY TRUCK AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. *TR
