STRUCTURE:BODY
MY TAILGATE ON MY PICK-UP FALLS OPEN RANDOMLY. SUPPOSEDLY THE LOCK MECHANISM HAS A TAB THAT IS PRONE TO BREAK OFF WHEN THE TAILGATE LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE DOOR LOCKS. THIS CAUSES THE MECHANISM TO ENGAGE TO OPEN AND THE TAILGATE FALLS OPEN RANDOMLY. THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC IF I AM HAULING SOMETHING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TAILGATE FLIES OPEN SPILLING THE LOAD ON THE HIGHWAY. SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PARKING SENSORS GO OFF WITH NOTHING IN FRONT, WHEN WET. THERE WAS A STAR CLASS ON THIS. THEY EXCHANGED THE SENSORS LEFT TO RIGHT. THE ISSUE FOLLOWED THE SENSORS. DEALER WANTS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS, AS THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE IN SHOP. WHEN IT HAPPENS, I CAN'T GET TO SHOP. HAS BEEN IN SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES. NOW VEHICLE IS OUT OF REGULAR WARRANTY, BUT STILL ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

ENGINE
MAJOR OIL LEAK STARTED AT JUST UNDER 100K MILES ON THE TRUCK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR KNOWN ISSUES, WITCH I FOUND ONE ON CHRYSLER 3.6 MOTORS YEAR MODEL 2014 WITCH WAS OILCOOLER/HOUSING CRACKING. THIS IS THE ENGINE MY TRUCK HAS AS WELL. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE TRUCK OVER THIS WAS THE EXACT ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK. THE OIL LEAK IS LOCATED ON TOP OF THE ENGINE BETWEEN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND ENGINE BLOCK AND RUNS DOWN BACK OF ENGINE TO BOTTOM OF TRUCK. WITH THE AMOUNT OF ISSUES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND IN A MATTER OF MINUTES OF SEARCHING AND AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THAT PART HAD BEEN REDESIGNED BY THE DEALERSHIP I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.

THIS IS THE 7TH TIME NOW ITS AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND THEY CAN NOT TELL ME ANYTHING. I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM GETTING NO HELP WITH THIS SITUATION.
