SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
TRUCK WILL START, RUN, AND DRIVE. BUT WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING IT WILL DIE, LEAVING YOU WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. PUT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WILL START BACK UP. YOU CAN'T GUESS WHEN IT WILL DIE, OR HOW MANY TRIES IT WILL TAKE TO START AGAIN. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE IN MOTION, TURNING, GOING FAST OR SLOW, OR STATIONARY. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS IN ALL SITUATIONS.

STEERING, WHEELS
MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT THE RATE OF 45MPH-50MPH MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, I WAS PASSENGER, AND MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACK. ALL THE SUDDEN WE HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, NO BIGGER THAN YOUR AVERAGE POT HOLES AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BROKE OUT INTO AN ABRUPT SHAKE! IT WAS THROWING MY HUSBANDS AND MY BODY AROUND THE SHAKE WAS SO INTENSE THE STEERING WAS CONTROLLABLE BUT EXTREMELY HARD. IT FELT AS THOUGH OUR TIRES WERE FLYING RIGHT OFF THE VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND BRAKED AND THE VIOLENT SHAKE SEIZED AND WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND PARKED THE TRUCK. WE CHECK AND SHOOK ALL TIRES THEY WERE SECURE. WE LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK EVERYTHING SEEMED IN PLACE AND SECURE. ONCE WE GOT HOME I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND LEARNED OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" MOST DODGE TRUCKS HAVE BECAUSE OF THE "Y" STEERING BAR WHICH MOST YEARS HAVE A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE THEY INFORMED ME MY YEAR OF TRUCK DOESN'T HAVE THE RECALL. THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE ROLLOVERS AND ACCIDENTS. I REACHED OUT TO CHRYSTLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD FIX IT AND THEY INFORMED ME BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL THEY WOULDN'T. WE ARE TALKING PEOPLES, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD SAFETY! I DON'T SEE WHY THEY WOULDN'T WANT TO PAY TO FIX A STEERING BAR WHICH IS WHAT MAYBE $1000 BUT HAVE THE POSSIBILITY FOR LIVES TO BE LOST?

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 17V-821, MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: T79 RECALL DATE: DECEMBER 20, 2017. WHEN I CALLED MOPAR TODAY TO SEE WHAT THE STATUS IS THEY TOLD ME THE MANUFACTURER STILL DOES NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT PART AND ADDED ME TO A LIST TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT COMES IN (SEE ATTACHED LIVE ASSISTANCE EXCHANGE). THE SOLUTION IN THE INTERIM IS TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN WE USE THE PARKING BRAKE IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO WE STOPPED USING THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS LEAVES US WITH A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. WE ARE UNABLE TO USE OUR 5TH WHEEL BECAUSE WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WE WILL BE STUCK SOMEWHERE AND NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THIS RESOLUTION IS TAKING TOO LONG. I HAVE NOTED THE DATE THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE PARKING BRAKE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A/C EVAPORATOR COIL WENT BAD AND RELEASED THE FREON INSIDE THE VEHICLE SINCE THIS IS IN THE DASH AREA INSIDE OF THE TRUCK CAB. THE RELEASE WAS OVER TIME AND WAS JUST REPAIRED. REPLACEMENT OF THE EVAPORATOR COIL, NEW FREON, HEATER CORE (WAS SUGGESTED TO REPLACE DUE TO THE ACCESS AND EASE TO REPLACE AN ITEM THAT WOULD GO OUT NEXT MOST LIKELY) AND THE VALVE - A/C. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. TOTAL COST WAS JUST UNDER $2100.
