ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ENGINE STALLS AND CUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'VE HAD IT AT 4 DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR SHOPS INCLUDING 3 WEEKS AT LANDMARK DODGE AND NO ONE CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT. I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND CYLINDERS REPLACED. IT'S CRAZY ANDD VERY FRUSTRATING THAT DODGE CAN'T FIX THEIR OWN PRODUCT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON 12/11/18 MY WIFE PICKED-UP THE KIDS FROM THEIR SCHOOL. AT ABOUT 14:25 MY WIFE HAD ARRIVED HOME AND HAD NOTICED THERE WAS A BURNT RUBBER (ACRID) SMELL SHE THOUGHT CAME FROM THE LEFT FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS SMELL STARTED WHILE DRIVING. THE ROUND-TRIP TO SCHOOL IS ABOUT 20 MILES AND TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES EACH WAY. MY WIFE SAID SHE TRIED TO IDENTIFY WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM AFTER CLEARING THE CAR BUT COULD NOT PINPOINT IT. NO SMOKE OF ANY KIND WAS SEEN. SHE WENT BACK INSIDE AFTER FAILING TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL. THE NEIGHBOR CALLED TO SAY HER CAR WAS ON FIRE SHORTLY THEREAFTER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND HAD BEEN STANDING FOR AROUND 10 MINUTES WHEN THE FIRE WAS REPORTED BY THE NEIGHBOR, AT WHICH TIME BIG FLAMES WERE VISIBLE AND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FD ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AT 14:43. BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, DASHBOARD AND FRONT ROW SEAT AREAS WERE ALL FULLY INVOLVED IN THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OR SOURCE OF THE FIRE EXACTLY OTHER THAN TO SAY IT STARTED IN THE FRONT LEFT OF THE CAR, LIKELY FROM WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE WITH THE ENGINE METAL FUSED AND THE INTERIOR FULLY BURNT AWAY AND DESTROYED. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED AND WE'VE HAD IT SERVICED BY TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES THIS YEAR ALONE AND IT HAS BEEN SERVICED BY A DODGE-AUTHORIZED DEALER ANNUALLY PER THE SCHEDULE. MOST RECENTLY IN JULY, AUGUST AND NOVEMBER 2018. THE LAST VISIT WAS TO A LOCAL GARAGE TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED (ON 11/26/18). LOCAL FD AND PD ATTENDED AND INCIDENT REPORTS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2012 RAM 1500 WAS REPAIRED ON 11/09/2018 DUE TO 18V160000 FRAME BRACKET ISSUE.. A FEW DAYS AFTER RECALL ACTION OCCURRED THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON SIGNIFYING THE GAS CAP WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER TECH CHECKED AND SAID THERE WAS A SMALL EVAPORATION LEAK BUT THE GAS CAP SEEMED TO BE SEALING OK. DEALER TECH RESET THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT. WEEK LATER LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP AND REPLACED OLD ONE. RESET THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT. MESSAGE NOW BACK AND I GET NO RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SUPPORT. IF THIS IS AN EVAPORATION LEAK IN THIS FUEL SYSTEM I WOULD BELIEVE THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENT ISSUE. HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS RECALL PERFORMED AND FACE THE SAME ISSUE?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE EMISSIONS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS A OVERLAY WIRING HARNESS THAT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE UPGRADED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 67000 MILES ON IT AND THIS ITEM HELPS CONTROL THE DIESELS EMISIONES. IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE FACTORY FOR THE 100,000 MILES AS STATED. UPON CONTACTING FCA THEY REFUSED TO HELP IN ANY WAY TO COVER COST OF REPAIRS. THIS REPAIR IS HAPPENING ON MULTIPLE DIESEL RAMS . I ONLY ASK THAT FCA BE HELD RESPONSIBILITY FOR VEHICLES THAT PRODUCE AND SELL

I'M WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE IS DEFECTIVE AS THE STRANGEST NOISE IS COMING FROM BEHIND THE DASH LIKE A RUBBER BAND IS TIGHTENING AND THEN CLICKING ON AND OFF. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I'VE ALSO HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR THE STEERING BEFORE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN RIGHT. NOW THE HOOD WILL NOT SHUT RIGHT. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A LEMON. I FIGHT TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 36,000 MILES ON IT. I'M WONDERING WHAT RECALLS I'VE MISSED SO I'M CHECKING. THANK YOU.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
MY TRUCK IS ONLY USED FOR TOWING A FIFTH WHEEL, THUS THE LOW MILEAGE. ON A TRIP, THE TRUCK STALLED WITH NO WARNING ON THE FREEWAY, LOST POWER, POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING IN THE 2ND FROM RIGHT LANE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL IT OVER AND STOP, IN AN UNSAFE AREA. 4 HRS LATER A TOW FOR TRUCK AND 5TH WHEEL WAS ARRANGED. THE TACOMA DODGE DEALER REPLACED THE LIFT FUEL PUMP WITH AN IN TANK LIFT FUEL PUMP. APPARENTLY THE BLOCK MOUNTED PUMP "ALWAYS FAILS AROUND 70K MILES", WHICH IS WHAT MY TRUCK HAS LOGGED. THE HEAT KILLS THE PUMP. I PAID $2106.47 FOR THE REPAIR. THE NEW PUMP FAILED IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OR 2K MILES. THE EVERETT DWAYNE LANE DEALER HAS THE TRUCK NOW FOR TWO WEEKS, AND CANNOT GET THE WARRANTED PUMP REPLACED FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS DUE TO BACK ORDER FROM MOPAR. I BELIEVE THE PUMP TO BE A DEFECT CAUSING EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD, AS NO WARNING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE AFFECTED. SENIORS OFTEN DRIVE RV'S, MANY WOULD NOT BE ABLE PHYSICALLY TO HANDLE THE RIG WITH THIS FAILURE. EVENTUALLY A DEATH WILL OCCUR, AND PROBABLY MANY ALREADY HAVE THAT I AM UNWARE OF. RECALL SHOULD BE IMMEDIATE. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CW *TR
