FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER YOU FUEL UP THE VEHICLE WILL SHORTLY STALL SEVERAL TIMES AFTERWARDS. LEAVING YOU WITH NO POWER STEERING. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS IS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES ON PUBLIC ROADS AND EVEN HIGHWAYS. I WOULD HAVE ALMOST CRASHED IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THAT I HAD LOST POWER STEERING. I HAVE ALSO HEARD COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO SAY THE SAME ABOUT THERE DODGE PICKUP OF SIMILAR YEAR. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A BIG CONCERN, AND I SHOULD BE DOING MORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. AFTER HITTING AN ELEVATION BUMP WHERE A BRIDGE AND MAIN HIGHWAY JOIN THE STEERING IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SHIMMY VIOLENTLY. LOSS OF CONTROL WAS POSSIBLE. I BELIEVED I HAD A BLOWOUT OR STEERING LINKAGE FAILURE. I PUT ON THE 4 WAY FLASHERS AND MANAGED TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE SHIMMY DISCONTINUED AFTER I SLOWED BELOW 40 MPH.. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A DISASTROUS AND EVEN FATAL SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE IS SOMETIMES USED TO TOW A 5TH WHEEL RV. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE" INFORMATION I FOUND ON LINE. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND UNACCEPTABLE!! I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT THE TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS I WAS TRAVELING THE HIGHWAY, MY ENGINE STARTING SMOKING. I WAS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS COMING UP ON A SERVICE CENTER/GROCERY STORE IN IDAHO. THERE WAS INDICATION ON MY DASH INSTRUMENTS THAT MY TRUCK WAS OPERATING ABNORMALLY, OTHER THAN THE SMOKE SIFTING THROUGH THE HOOD. UPON MY PULLING OVER ONTO THE THE SIDE, I OPENED THE HOOD WITH USED OF HEAVY GLOVES AND A TOWEL AND CHECKED TO SEE IF RADIATOR HAD FLUID AS THE INDICATOR LIGHT HAD READ NORMAL. AS EXPECTED, COOLANT SPEWED OUT. I IMMEDIATELY CLOSED IT AND WAITED FOR IT TOBE TOWED INTO IDAHO FALLS TO BE CHECKED BY A SHOP THAT I WAS FAMILIAR WITH.

TAKATA RECALL COMPLAINT RECALL NUMBER R26 / NHTSA 15V-312 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE RECALLED PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE SERVICE ADVISORS THAT DODGE WILL REPLACE ANY PARTS THAT ARE BROKEN FREE OF CHARGE DURING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INFLATORS. WELL THAT WAS A LIE, AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DASHBOARD ON THIS SAME 2003 RAM 2500 MODEL HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT CRACKING AND LITERALLY BREAKING APART DUE IT BECOMING BRITTLE. MINE HAS 5 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT IS BLOWING BROKEN PIECES OUT THE VENTS INTO MY FACE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARDS. WELL THEN THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL CRACK AND BREAK INTO PIECES DURING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY TAKATA INFLATOR AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AND OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS THAT WILL BREAK APART DURING THE REPLACEMENT SO I DECLINED THE REPAIR. THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKS ALREADY THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE PARTS THAT WOULD BREAK DURING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INFLATOR. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. SO NOW EVERY TIME MY WIFE IS A PASSENGER IN THE TRUCK I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HER GETTING INJURED WORSE IN AN ACCIDENT DUE THE FAULTY INFLATOR. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE THAT DODGE INSTALLED CHEAP PLASTIC DASHBOARDS AND NOW I HAVE A DEFECTIVE INFLATOR THAT CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITH OUT COSTING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. I THINK DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR EVERYTHING SINCE THEY USED FAULTY PARTS AND THE RECALL REPAIRS SHOULD NOT COST ME ANYTHING TO GET IT FIXED NO MATTER HOW MANY PARTS THEY HAVE TO REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE ATTACHED IS THE REPAIR TICKET I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
TRUCK SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. COULDN'T STEER, COULDN'T TURN, COULD BARELY STOP. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROTARY WITH MY 7 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. MOST LIKELY THE TIPM WAS THE CAUSE BECAUSE IT STARTED RIGHT UP AFTERWARDS. NO SIGNS OR WARNINGS OCCURRED BEFORE ISSUE HAPPENED. *TR

MY INFORMATION AND A SHORT STORY FOLLOWS: IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE QUICK THINKING AND FAST REFLEXES OF MY WIFE, WHEN THE TRUCK STOPPED RUNNING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A MAJOR FREEWAY, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. AS IT TURNED OUT SHE WAS ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHICH WAS NO SIMPLE FEAT CONSIDERING THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING AND NO POWER BRAKES. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO MY DEALER WHEN WE GOT HOME AND IT TOOK THEM 6 DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE DIAGNOSES IT TOOK ANOTHER 2 DAYS TO GET THE PART AND TO INSTALL IT. ALL I WANT IS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF THE TIPM MODULE AND THE INSTALLATION FEE. THE RECEIPT AND ITEMIZED WORK LIST ARE ATTACHED TO THIS EMAIL.
