SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE GOING ON VACATION PULLING OUR 28' TRAVEL TRAILER WITH OUR 2009 DODGE 2500. THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP ON THE FREEWAY, ALMOST CAUSING US TO ALMOST GO INTO THE DITCH. WE SAFELY PULLED ON TO A SIDE ROAD, AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE SMOKING AND VERY HOT. AFTER BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RUBBER BRAKE LINES HAD FAILED [COLLAPSING]. IT WAS INSPECTED, AND FOUND THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL, AND THE FRONT BRAKES HAD LOCKED UP ON THE CALIPERS. THE DEALER INFORMED US THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING TO SOME 2009 DODGE 2500 SERVICE BRAKES. THE TRUCK HAS 85,250 MILES ON IT AND IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WITH US THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER DODGE. OUR TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS AND COSTS WILL BE OVER $1000.00 TO REPAIR IT.

THE DASHBOARD IS FALLING APART. THERE ARE NUMEROUS CRACKS AND SEVERAL PIECES HAVE BROKEN OFF OF IT. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER MOTOR COMPANY. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. THEY WILL NOT RECALL THE DASHBOARDS ON ANY RAM PICKUP EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 20 YEARS. IF A PIECE COMES OFF THE DASH AND HITS YOU IN THE FACE, IT COULD CAUSE YOU TO SWERVE YOU TRUCK AND CRASH. THERE IN LIES THE POSSIBILITY FOR BODILY INJURY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRUCK RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON, ONCE YOU GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD YOU TURN TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT MAY RUN FINE FOR DAYS OR A HALF MILE. THIS CAN HAPPEN GOING 65MPH DOWN THE TURNPIKE OR STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN TOWN. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WITH 28K AND THIS ISSUE STARTED AROUND 32K. HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD "DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM". MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE HER AND MY SON NEARLY GOT KILLED WHEN IT SHUT OFF GOING THRU AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE READ UP ON THIS ON MANY FORUMS AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. YOU IN FACT HAD DONE A RECALL CAMPAIGN # PE05027 BACK IN 05. THERE ARE OTHER MODELS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE LOOSING THEIR LIFE FOR THIS TO GET CORRECTED. MAKE A PAYMENT OF 400.00 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A TRUCK THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!

ENGINE
MY 05 DODGE RAM HAS BEEN STALLING IN TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEEDS REGULARLY OF LATE. IT ALSO HAPPENED RECENTLY WHILE PARKED FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT OCASIONALLY (1 FAILURE OUT OF 7) GIVES AN ERROR CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH READS AS A BAD CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I HAVE PUT 3 ON IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. IT STARTED AS INTERMITENT AND HAS BECOME A STEADY ISSUE. TRUCK HAS NEVER RUN HOT, NO NOISES FROM ENGINE TO INDICATE A BAD BEARING OR MIS ALIGNEMENT. WHEEL TEETH ARE NOT BROKEN OR WORN AND THERE IS NOT BUILDUP OF FLAKES OR SHAVINGS ANYWHERE THAT WOULD BE CAUSING A FUALTY SIGNAL. WIRING RINGS OUT AS GOOD. REPLACING THE SENSOR WAS ALLOWING NORMAL OPERATION FOR A SHORT PERIOD BUT IT IS RE-OCCURING AT A FASTER RATE EACH TIME. TRUCK DOES, SO FAR, CONTINUE TO RESART ALMOST IMEDIATELY BUT STILL PRESENTS CONSIDERABLE RISK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THIS WAS LOOKED AT PREVIOUSLY AND TSB 18-013-05 WAS RELEASED AS A "FIX." IT HAS NOT BEEN A SUCCESSFUL FIX AS THE ISSUES CONTINUE TO RE-OCCUR WITH WHAT APEARS TO BE A FAIRLY ALARMING RATE. TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 160,750 MILES ON IT. THE LAST 3 SENSORS WERE INSTALLED IN 2 YEARS AND LESS THAN 20,000 MILES.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2004 DODGE 2500 PICKUP. THE RECALL IS DEALING WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. APPARENTLY THE AIRBAG INFLATOR "MAY RUPTURE AND RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". I CALLED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION NUMBER SO THAT I COULD BE PUT ONTO A LIST, SO THAT WHEN THE PARTS COME IN, I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TOO WORRIED, EXCEPT THE LAST TIME THEY SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE (MAY 2015) FOR THE DRIVERS AIRBAG, I STILL HAD NOT RECEIVED THE NOTICE THAT THE PARTS WERE IN. WHEN I CALLED, A PERSON SAID THAT SHE COULD SET UP THE FIRST RECALL REPAIR, BUT THE ARTS WEREN'T IN AND WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 2017. I SET UP THE APPOINTMENT. I AM PISSED OFF (NOT GOOD FOR ME). I HAVE HAD A VEHICLE WITH AIRBAG INFLATORS THAT "MAY RUPTURE AND RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH" AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T SEEM CONCERNED. AMERICA, WHEN DO WE STOP ACCEPTING MEDIOCRE FROM COMPANIES LIKE THIS? WHY IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? NHTSA, WHY IS THIS OKAY WITH YOU?
