SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE IN MOTION MY FOOT BRAKE DOES NOT SEND ENOUGH VOLTAGE TO THE ELECTRIC BRAKES ON MY TOY HAULER 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. I HAVE TO USE THE HAND BRAKE LEVER TO SAFELY STOP THE TRAILER.. WHILE STOPPED MY FOOT BRAKE SENDS 3.4 VOLTS TO THE TRAILER WHILE THE HAND BRAKE SENDS 12 VOLTS (THE GAIN IS TURNED TO ITS HIGHEST). WITH THE IGNITION OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE TRUCK TO DO NOT ACTIVATE WITH THE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL. MY LOCAL RAM DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, NOR HAVE THEY HEARD FROM CHRYSLER. THE APPOINTMENT WIT THE RAM DEALER WAS ON JULY 10, 2019.

ENGINE
LOUD TICKING NOISE CAUSED BY LIFTER/CAMSHAFT MALFUNCTION. TRUCK LOSES POWER. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, TRUCK STARTED MISFIRING (CYLINDER 3). HAD TO PUT ON HAZARD FLASHERS AND DRIVE AT SEVERELY REDUCED SPEEDS FOR 125 MILES TO GET HOME. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE HEMI ENGINE. CANNOT GET LIFTERS DUE TO SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUES. IF YOU CAN FIND LIFTERS, THE PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS. DODGE DEALER.STATES THERE ARE MORE THAN 10,000 LIFTERS ON BACK ORDER. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE. WE MAY HAVE TO LET OUR TRUCK GO BACK TO THE BANK AS WE CANNOT DRIVE IT BUT STILL OWE 20K!!! PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF THOUSANDS OF AFFECTED DODGE OWNERS, DO SOMETHING!!!

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
TAKARA INFLATORS APRIL 28TH 2019 WE TOOK OUR TRUCK TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALLS FIXED AS THEY REQUESTED. MAINLY THE AIRBAGS AND THEY DID A 28 POINT INSPECTION. JULY 1ST 2019 SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND AND THEY WERE INVOLVED IN A BAD ACCIDENT. THE AIRBAGS NEVER WENT OFF. MY HUSBAND HIT THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD THERE'S A BRUISE AND MARK ON HIS CHEST AND THE SHAPE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT ALSO MESSED UP THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE GEAR SELECTOR. THE TRUCK IS TOTALED THE FRAME IS BENT THE SUSPENSIONS RIPPED OFF BUT WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. INSURANCE IS BEING A PAIN. DODGE SAID THEY'D SEND OUT AN INVESTIGATOR SO FAR NO ONE SHOWED UP. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
