ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. CHRYSLER IN PROCESS OF REPLACING ENGINE THAT WAS REPAIRED AT 1OI MILES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION HAS STUCK IN EITHER 3RD OR 5TH GEAR AND WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT OR UPSHIFT - SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAS DONE THIS. HAVE A VIDEO PROVING SHIFTING FAULTS. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS EITHER IDLING OR IN MOTION FOR THE ENGINE FAILURES AND WAS IN MOTION IN BOTH INSTANCES WHEN WITH THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SEVERAL DEALER RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE VEHICLE THAT DID NOT INVOLVE EITHER OF THE ABOVE. WINDOW CLIPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THEY EITHER BREAK OR COME OFF AND HAVE TO BE REPAIRED WITH NEW CLIPS EACH TIME. IF THEY ARE NOT REPLACED, THERE IS A RISK THAT THE WINDOW WILL CRASH INSIDE THE DOOR IF ATTEMPT IS MADE TO ROLL DOWN OR ROLL UP THE POWER WINDOW. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALERSHIP SHOP FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT; DOCUMENTATION IS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR THIS INSTANCE BUT CAN BE PROVIDED WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING KNOB PERIODICALLY WILL NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO OBTAIN A GEAR AND MOVING THE VEHICLE IS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE A FORWARD OR REVERSE GEAR IS SUCCESSFUL. THIS HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIME AND THE LAST TIME I WAS MAKING A U TURN ON A NARROW DIRT ROAD WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I COULD NOT OBTAIN ANY GEAR. ANOTHER VEHICLE APPROACHED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE A COLLISION OCCURRED. NOTE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ENGINE CHECK, TRACTION CONTROL, ANTI-SKID LIGHTS COMES ON WITH A MESSAGE THROTTLE CONTROL REQUIRES SERVICE. THE ENGINE LOSSES ALL POWER OR STALLS MAKING VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, STOP AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE CONTROL WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON , IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE TRUCK SITS FOR A DAY OR TWO ALL PROBLEMS CLEAR. 4-23-2019 IS MY THIRD INCIDENT IN 4 MONTHS.

AIR BAGS
MY SON HAD A 2016 RAM 1500 AND WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION DRIVING APPROX 40 MPH. THANKFULLY HE WAS OKAY. I SAW THE REPORT THIS EVENING ABOUT NEW AIR BAG RECALLS AND WANT YOU TO KNOW HIS AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE WHEN HE CRASHED. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE WERE SHOCKED. I QUESTIONED STATE FARM, THE PALM BEACH COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE AND THE STATE FARM BODY SHOP. MY QUESTION TO ALL OF THEM WAS WHO WOULD BRING THIS ISSUE TO THE PROPER GOV'T AUTHORITIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED SO I NO LONGER HAVE THE VIN. I AM SURE WE CAN GET THE VIN FROM STATE FARM. THE ACCIDENT WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO, SO I AM SURE YOU CAN STILL GET YOUR HANDS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DATE BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE BACK OUT MY GARAGE, ALL THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING AND THE DASH STARTED DISPLAYING SERVICE TRACTION, SERVICE ELECTRICAL, SERVICE SHIFTER. AUTO PARK DISABLED. THE WIPERS WOULD COME ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN IN THE OFF POSITION. SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND THERE WAS MORE. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING AND CONTINUED TO FLASH EVEN WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. I DISCONNECTED WIRES FROM BATTERY TERMINAL TO KILL POWER SO THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY OFF. POWER DOORS WOULD LOCK OR UNLOCK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES INSIDE AT 50+MPH AND DOES NOT GO AWAY THE FASTER YOU DRIVE. THE SHAKE STARTED WITH FACTORY TIRES AND SINCE PUTTING NEW TIRES ON THE VEHICLE THE SHAKES CONTINUE, FEELS LIKE A DRIVE LINE VIBRATION OR SOMETHING IN THE REAR END.. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY BLAMED THE NEW TIRES AND WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE FURTHER BUT THE SHAKE WAS THERE PRIOR TO THE NEW TIRES AT THE SAME SPEEDS, I'VE HAD THE NEW TIRES ROAD FORCED BALANCED 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE COMPANY SAID MY TIRES ARE OK. LIFTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE UP MYSELF AND PUTTING INTO DRIVE THE RIGHT REAR LOOKS AS IF THERE IS A WOBBLE FROM THE AXLE SHAFT AND LOTS OF NOISE FROM REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS FOR JULY 2015 ON ABOUT IMPROPER HEAT TREATMENT BUT MY BUILD DATE WAS MAY 2015 AND THINK THAT THIS TRUCK IS AFFECTED AS WELL. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN BECAUSE THOSE AXLES THAT WERE DEFECTIVE HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF BREAKING WHILE DRIVING AND SEEMS UNSAFE WHEN YOUR TRANSPORTING FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE.
