AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALLS. ON 10/05/2016 TOOK MY 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 INTO GERRY WOOD AUTO GROUP, SALISBURY, NC, TO REPLACE A RECALLED AIR BAG ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL WORK. 10/07/2026 VEHICLE WAS RETURN ED TO ME. 10/05 1017 TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO GERRY WOOD BECAUSE THE WARNING AIRINF AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. A CHECK FOUND THE SQUIB CIRCUIT AND AIR BAG SHORTED. 10/09/2017 RETURNED MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND 10/10/2017 THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME. I WAS TOLD IF THE CONDITION CONTINUED THE SHOP WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC). I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ORC. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ORC UNTIL THE MECHANICS REPLACED THE AIR BAG. ANY PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG THAT WERE NOT A PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE MECHANICS REPLACING THE PART SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GERRY WOOD DEALERSHIP. PLEASE ADIVISE HUBER R. IJAMES [email protected]

STEERING
I WAS TOLD THE CLOCK SPRING WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CLICKING NOISE. WHEN THE TECH GOT INTO THE STEERING TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM IF THE STEERING COLUMN SHOULD LOCK UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND MAKE MY TRUCK SAFE AGAIN WAS TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE STALLS AFTER A GAS FILL-UP. I START MY TRUCK AFTER FILLING UP AT THE PUMP. PULL OUT OF THE STATION, GO A LITTLE WAYS DOWN THE ROAD, STOP AT A STOPLIGHT. SIT AT IDLE FOR MAYBE 30 SECONDS & THE TRUCK DIES. THE TRUCK ONLY DOES THIS AFTER FILLUPS. NO CHECK ENGINE. NO CODES. LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSTANTLY AFTER EVERY FILL UP. THE TRUCK RUNS FINE AFTERWARDS.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
SPEED ABOUT 20 MPH WITH NO THROTTLE, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. A FEW SECONDS LATER THE STEERING AND BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. IF THE STEERING AND BRAKES DID NOT START WORKING AGAIN THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER MOTORIST.THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE TIPPIN WENT OUT. STATIONARY AS WOULD NOT START. TOOK TO SHOP, SHOP OWNER SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS IN OTHER DODGE RAMS(RECENTLY AS TWO WEEKS BEFORE WE BROUGHT OURS IN), WAS TOLD THAT SEVERAL MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM(DODGE CARAVAN, JEEP CHEROKEE, AND THE DODGE DURANGO) BUT THE DODGE RAM IS NOT INCLUDED. HE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE USING THE FIX THAT WAS USED ON ALL THE OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES. GAVE US INFO ON WHERE HE FOUND THE FIX WHICH IN TURN OPENED OUR EYES THAT HEY THERE OR LOTS OF THESE FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAYS OUT THERE. WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD, YES THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS AS WELL AND TO SAVE OUR RECEIPTS JUST IN CASE IT WAS ADDED BUT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AT THIS TIME AND THERE WERE NO PLANS THAT THEY NEW OF FOR IT TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. TALKED TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT THE ONES WHO ADDS CARS TO THE RECALL THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR US EITHER. CBWPR091AA WAS THE REPLACEMENT NUMBER FOR THE PART GIVEN TO THE SHOP OWNER FROM MOPAR. JUST WANTED TO PASS THIS ALONG SINCE SEVERAL OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS SAME RECALL AND WE LIVE IN A CITY OF AROUND 10,000 SO IF SEVERAL PEOPLE IN OUR CITY HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR DODGE RAMS, THEN SURELY THERE AT TONS MORE OUT THERE.
