STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
THE TRUCK'S STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE TURNING AND THEN THE IGNITION WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE IGNITION HAS EVEN STOPPED WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND NOT TURNING. THIS IS A DEFINATE ROAD HAZARD AND CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WAS FINALLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG YET EACH TIME THEY HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND WE GET IT BACK IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME YOU TURN BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO DO IT. I DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURING ANYONE BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. WE ARE ALSO UNABLE TO FIND A PREVIOUS OWNER. THE NAMES ON THE TITLE HAVE BEEN CLEARED. HOW CAN THIS BE?? DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT WE CAN DO? HOW DO WE GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED? SOMEONE IS HIDING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING OURSELVES OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE YOU CAN HELP. SINCERELY, SHIRLEY GOODE

AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH MY DODGE RAM PICKUP. A MAN TURNED IN FRONT OF ME AND THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK HIT THE SIDE OF HIS CAR. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, AND I WAS MOVING AT A GOOD RATE OF SPEED (35-40 MPH). I DID CONTACT DODGE, BUT THEY ARE SITTING ON THEIR HANDS, AND ARE NOT SENDING OUT AN INVESTIGATION TEAM TO FIND OUT WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I WOULD LIKE FOR NHTSA TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION OF THEIR OWN. THE TRUCK HASN'T BEEN WORKED ON, BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS ANTSY TO GET THE TRUCK FIXED, SINCE I AM IN A RENTAL VEHICLE. IS THERE ANY WAY OF HAVING THE NHTSA COME OUT AND DO AN INVESTIGATION IN A TIMELY MATTER (WITHIN A WEEK (BY 11/10))?

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
TRUCK EXHIBITS SERIOUS PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING. BEEN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES, REPLACING ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM, SPENT $2000+ ON REPAIRS, PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS THEN COMES BACK. TRUCK CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN BECAUSE THE BRAKE PULL IS SO SERIOUS. HITTING THE BRAKES CAN MAKE THE TRUCK CHANGE LANES TO THE LEFT (ONCOMING TRAFFIC). CANNOT AFFORD TO DUMP MORE MONEY INTO REPAIRS FOR A PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT SEEM REPAIRABLE (OUT OF WARRANTY). SAW MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET OF SAME PROBLEM. DODGE MUST ISSUE A RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM MAKING LEMONS OUT OF 4-5 YEAR OLD TRUCKS. PLEASE HELP.
