TAKATA RECALL- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, LATE 2015. RECEIVED NOTICE THAT PART WAS AVAILABLE AUGUST 2016. I ONLY USED THE VEHICLE FOR LIMITED USE WHILE WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. WHEN I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED, THEY TOLD ME THEY CHECKED THE PART NUMBER ON MY AIRBAG AND IT'S GOOD, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE REPLACED. SO I LOST THE USE OF MY VEHICLE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS BECAUSE A RECALL SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ISSUED OR IS IT THAT CHRYSLER DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND THE 15 MINUTES TO CHECK THE PART NUMBER WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST AROSE?

STEERING
WHILE HAVING OTHER RECALLS FIXED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING BOX WAS LEAKING AND MAKING NOISE WHILE TURNING. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THERE WERE NO REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE. THE STEERING COULD FAIL ANYTIME. CHRYSLER /DODGE SHOULD BE FIXING THIS ISSUE AS I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. VEHICLE HAS 80,000. MILES ON IT.

MY DASH IS FALLING APART. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE BROKEN PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH WILL FLY AROUND PUTTING OUT AN EYE OR IMPALING SOMEONE. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE SAID THAT IT IS COSMETIC, I DISAGREE. IF IT WERE ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE NO CONCERN. THE PROBLEM IS, IT'S INSIDE WHERE PEOPLE RIDE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES FROM THE BROKEN DASH TO GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, SO BE IT. GENERAL MOTORS FOUND OUT ABOUT PROCRASTINATING ON KNOWN PROBLEMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE TIPM OUR DODGE TRUCK IS FAULTY. IT HAS ISSUES STARTING, THE LIGHTS WILL STOP WORKING, THE LIGHTS ON DASH COME ON, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE OIL JUST DISAPPEARING, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW THAT SEVERAL VEHICLES UNDER CHRYSLER AND DODGE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH FAULTY TIPM AND THERE WAS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT,BUT THE NHTSA FELT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH OF AN ISSUE WITH THE DODGE RAMS TO PUSH FOR A RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE PUSHED FOR A RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING IN A LOT OF RAMS AND THEY ARE PASSED THE WARRANTY AND WHEN YOU PURCHASE A NEW WARRANTY THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. ALL EXPENSES ARE PAID OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER AND DODGE HAVE BEEN AWARE OF FOR YEARS. OUR DODGE RAM HAS BEEN AT THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH ISSUES AND THEY DID NOT TELL US ONCE ABOUT THE TIPM ISSUES. WE HAD TO FIGURE IT OUT OURSELVES WITH INTERNET RESEARCH. A CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE PAYING CLOSE TO OR OVER $2,000 OUT OF POCKET TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY NEW WAS A DEFECT OR FAULTY. SEVERAL MILLION DODGE RAM OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE REPORTED IT ACCORDING TO THE PUBLICATION OF THE NHTSA. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CUSTOMERS ARE BEING PUNISHED TO PROTECT THE MANUFACTURER'S MISTAKES. OUR DODGE HAS SPENT MORE TIME IN THE SHOP IN THE PAST YEAR THEN WITH US. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS.

ENGINE
ON 9/9/2016 MY WIFE ENTERED OUR GARAGE TO GET SOMETHING AND FOUND THE GARAGE FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES DUE TO MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 ENGINE RUNNING. OBVIOUSLY, IT WAS PARKED WITHOUT ANYONE IN IT. HOWEVER, NO ONE HAD THE KEYS IN THEIR HANDS AND THERE WAS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. IT RANDOMLY STARTED ON IT'S OWN. I FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE ABOUT IT RANDOMLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS, AND IT RANDOMLY HAVING ALL LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS ONE, A RANDOM START WHEN PARKED IN A GARAGE COULD TURN FATAL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 IS CRACKED AND BROKEN. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE TRUCKS AND AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT COVERS ARE AVAILABLE. THE BROKEN DASH CAN BE A HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND CAUSES ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH HEATING THE VEHICLE/DEFROSTING WINDOWS SINCE THE VENTS NO LONGER FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE HOLE ALSO ALLOWS MOISTURE IN HUMID ENVIRONMENTS TO READILY GAIN ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF DODGE WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND OFFER ASSISTANCE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE STILL HAS LOW MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH IT IS AN OLDER MODEL. THE PROBLEM STARTED AS CRACKS AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH TIME.
