I HAVE TRIED ON MANY TIMES TOO ARRIGO DODGE IN WEST PALM BEACH ,FLORIDA TOO COMPLETE THE SAFETY RECALL .THEY HAVE REFUSED TOO ADDRESS THE ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK . I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DODGE MOTOR DIVISION MORE TIMES THAN A FEW ,THEY TURN A BLIND-EYE TO THE DEALERSHIP . THIS TRUCK WAS A LEMON FROM THE SHOW-ROOM FLOOR ,I HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER , EMISSIONS SYSTEM ,FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM , WIRING HARNESS , AND MANY MORE REPAIRS .THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS VERY DANGEROUS ,SOMEONE IS GOING TOO GET A SERIOUS INJURY FROM THIS ISSUE. THE TRUCK ALSO SUFFERS FROM SUDDEN ACCELERATION , AT ANY GIVEN TIME . I HAVE CALLED THE CHRYSLER REP COUNTLESS TIMES , AND THEY HAVE A CARE LESS ATTITUDE ,I VOICED MY OPINION ON THE CHAT LINE ,AND...THEY WERE QUITE AMUSED AT THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH OR INJURY . I WANT A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION OF THE DEALERSHIP ,THE FACTORY , AND BRING IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ON THESE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES ! PLEASE DO SOMETHING SOON , THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH !

POWER TRAIN
WHILE IN REVERSE THE TRUCK MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS GRABBING THE ROTOR. THE CALIPER WAS CHANGED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP IT COULD BE THE DRIVE LINE REAR-END PINION NUT BACKING OFF THE BOLT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, EITHER WAY THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN BACKING UP SLOWLY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED MY TRUCK UP. THEN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT INTO A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. LIKE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO STEEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD AND EVEN WITH THAT THE 5.7 HEMI WAS A LOT OF POWER TO STOP. I AVOIDED HITTING A CONCRETE WALL AND A SIDE OF A HOUSE. LUCKILY I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. IT COULD OF ENDED VERY BADLY. I NOW AM NOT GOING TO USE THE TRUCK UNTIL I FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. I HAVE CALLED DODGE CORPORATION AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING OR NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THEY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY EVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING HAPPENING. I ADVISED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT GOOGLE AND TYPE IN DODGE RAM SUDDEN ACCELERATION. UPON MY OWN RESEARCH A NUMBER OF DODGE MECHANICS HAVE SAID THE FOLLOWING. 1. FLOOR MAT WAS STUCK UNDER PEDAL 2. TPS SENSOR 3. IAC SENSOR 5. THROTTLE BODY ONE OR ALL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IN CONCLUSION I WOULD HOPE THAT DODGE LOOKS AND ADDRESS THIS MATTER BEFORE IT'S TO LATE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. GOT A NOTICE SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT THE WERE FINE THEN, NOT NOW. APPARENTLY THE X42 MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH HAS NOW GONE BAD. I HAVE 105,000 MILES ON TRUCK WHICH IS STILL WITHIN THE MILEAGE RANGE FOR COVERAGE. WOULD LIKE DODGE TO REPLACE THIS PART AT NO CHARGE FOR ME IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
JUST THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WENT TO GO TO THE STORE MY LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS CAME ON BUT WHEN I WENT TO GO HOME, I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON AND I HAD TO TAKE BACK STREETS WITH ONLY MY PARKING LIGHTS. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE TRUCKS AND AUTOS FOR MANY YEARS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $1000.00 FOR A COMPUTER BOARD WHEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE. AFTER LOOKING ON - LINE, I FUND THAT MANY OF DODGE'S MODELS BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS IT NOT TIME FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO FORCE DODGE TO RECALL ALL THESE MODELS AND YEARS! IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN THE LIGHTS STOP WORKING AT NIGHT WHEN THE AUTO IS BEING DRIVEN. MY LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT COME BACK ON WHEN I RETURNED TO THE TRUCK TO GO HOME SO I WAS NOT DRIVING THE TRUCK BUT NEEDED TO AND THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON WHEN I STARTED IT.

ENGINE
TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP BC MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & STARTED TO BLINK & DING. BARELY MADE IT THERE & SO THEY CHECKED IT & SAID THE ROCKER ARM NEEDS REPLACING. SO THEY ORDERED IT & SAID ITS ON BACK ORDER & THAT THERE WERE 600 AHEAD OF ME. IF IT'S SO MANY THAT NEED THIS PART, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 3 1/2 WEEKS & STILL I DON'T HAVE MY TRUCK.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY AT A SPEED APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRUCK FLASHED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT A COUPLE TIMES AND CHIMED, THEN I LOST ALL POWER. THE POWER STEERING WAS DISABLED, AND I HAD TO MANUALLY GUIDE THE TRUCK OFF THE ROADWAY INTO A PRIVATE DRIVE AND CALL FOR A TOW. I WAS TOLD BY A SHOP THAT THE VALVE SEAT OF CYLINDER 1 FAILED AND BROKE APART INSIDE THE CYLINDER AND DAMAGED THE CYLINDER WHILE ALLOWING OIL INTO THE CYLINDER AS WELL. I AM TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I AM WAITING FOR THE SHOP'S DIAGNOSIS DOCUMENTATION.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROADWAY IN CONCORD, NC, WITH NO WARNING, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND SEIZED, LOCKING UP THE REAR WHEELS AND SHEARING THE DRIVESHAFT, AND SLAMMING ME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP CURRENTLY EVALUATING THE PROBLEM HAS STATED "THE PINION NUT CAME OFF AND DROPPED INTO THE GEARS". THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR ON 2005 RAM 1500 PICKUPS, BUT NOT THE 2004 MODELS.
