FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY GASOLINE STARTED SPEWING UNDER PRESSURE FROM TOP OF FUEL PUMP, PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AWAY FROM OTHER VEHICLES AND WAITED FIVE TO TEN MINUTES BEFORE GASOLINE STOPPED SPRAYING OUT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME WHERE I COULD CHECK TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS ONLY A RUBBER HOSE AS I EXPECTED OR SOMETHING ELSE. I FOUND OUT IT WAS A FITTING AT TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH LOOKS LIKE METAL CONNECTOR WHERE THE GASOLINE WAS SPRAYING OUT OF A PIN HOLE, I LOST ABOUT 5 GALLONS OF GAS IN 14 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ALL LIGHTS (HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, ETC.) COME ON WHILE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND TURN OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. ALSO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS RUN ALL THE TIME AND CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF. DRAINS BATTERY WHILE NOT RUNNING, THEN WILL NOT START. FACTORY TRAINED MECHANIC SAYS IT IS A "BAD TIPM" (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE), AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT ORDER A NEW TIPM AS DODGE DOES NOT MAKE THESE ANYMORE (VEHICLE IS 12 YEARS OLD). MY VEHICLE IS PRACTICALLY USELESS AND NOW VALUELESS, AS I CAN NOT GET NEEDED PARTS TO REPAIR. MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT AFTERMARKET PARTS (INCLUDING FAN CLUTCH FOR THIS VEHICLE) DOES NOT WORK WELL AND END UP NEEDING REPLACEMENT ALMOST AS SOON AS REPAIRS ARE DONE. THIS REALLY SUCKS THAT AN AMERICAN AUTO MANUFACTURER CAN FAIL TO MAKE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLES. I GUESS THEY NEED TO SELL A NEW ONE THAT BAD! NOT ANOTHER DODGE, FOR SURE

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON AN ON-RAMP TO ENTER THE FREEWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE RPMS CLIMBED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF AT THIS TIME. I TRIED TURNING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE'S RPMS AND SPEED ROLLED BACK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND I DIDN'T NOTICE IF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON OR OFF. THE TRUCK DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT. APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK LATER, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE @ 70MPH. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF. I PULLED INTO THE PASSING LANE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED AND THE PEDAL SEEMED TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES, BUT COULD NOT DISENGAGE IT. I TRIED TURNING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF, BUT THAT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE PEDAL EITHER. I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKES AT THIS TIME, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED ACCELERATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE, BUT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED RED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS LIGHT. I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL (RPMS STILL HIGH) AND STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. THE ENGINE STARTED IDLING DOWN.

WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECENTLY HAD A INVESTIGATOR INSPECT MY VEHICLE THAT BROKE THE RIGHT REAR AXLE. CHRYSLER GOT BACK TO ME AND CLAIMED THE BREAK WAS NOT FROM THERE RECALL. CHRYSLER AVOIDED MY WHOLE COMPLAINT OF DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. I WAS NOT RELYING ON RECALLS BUT THE MATERIAL IS NOT RIGHT. I HAD A COUPLE OF PROFESSIONAL WELDERS LOOK AT THE AXLE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BREAK WAS ON A WELD, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE STRONGEST POINT AND THAT THE MATERIAL LOOKS POROUS. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A CLAIM ON THIS MATTER, WHICH TOTALED MY TRUCK DUE TO THE AXLE BREAKING. SEE ALSO 11031993
