AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL TODAY AND WHEN I CALLED STAR DODGE DEALERSHIP (MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP), THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM CHRYSLER YET AND TO CALL BACK IN A FEW WEEKS. IS THERE A DATE/TIME WHEN CHRYSLER IS GOING TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN ABILENE, TX STAR DODGE DEALERSHIP? OR DO I NEED TO GO TO ANOTHER TOWN? THANK YOU.

ENGINE
I STOPPED IN A SHOPPING CENTER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER A SHORT WHILE I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER, IT WAS COMPLETELY SILENT. AFTER A SHORT WHILE I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE DODGE PEOPLE IN TUCSON SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG OR THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I DISCOVERED IN OLD DATA ONLINE THERE WAS A BULLETIN COVERING "NO ENGINE CRANK OR NO ENGINE START DUE TO ELECTRONIC LOCK-UP OF THE WCM/SKREEM". THIS HAS OCCURRED PERIODICALLY ABOUT EVERY SIX MONTHS REQUIRING ME TO REMOVE THE IOD FUSE WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH WAITING THIRTY SECONDS AND RE-INSTALLING THE IOD FUSE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
LOADED AT 18000 LBS GVW WHILE TOWING A TANDEM AXLE TRAILER THE VEHICLE DIED. UPON LOSING ALL ELECTRICAL POWER THE ENGINE DIED CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED BRAKES AND POWER ASSISTED STEERING. FORTUNATELY THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WAS AROUND 5 MPH. I'M 6 FOOT TALL AND OVER 200 LBS AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE PARKING AREA. UPON LEAVING THE VEHICLE I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED ELECTRONICS BURNING. I OPENED THE HOOD AND IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECTED THE POSITIVE POST OF THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). I THEN REMOVED THE TIPM TO FIND A HOLE BURNT THROUGH THE SIDE AND THE CIRCUIT BOARD COVERED WITH BLACK SOOT. I HAD THE VEHICLE AND TRAILER TOWED TO CORBIN KY WHERE THERE WERE NO DODGE DEALERS WILLING TO WORK ON A VEHICLE OF THIS SIZE. NOR WOULD THEY STORE THE TRAILER FOR ME WHILE CONDUCTING THE REPAIR. I CHOOSE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE AND TRAILER TOWED OVER 600 MILES TO MY HOME IN MICHIGAN. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER WHOM TOOK THE VIN NUMBER TO ORDER AN NEW ONE. AFTER OVER 2 WEEKS WAITING ON THE TIPM (WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE REMANUFACTURED) THE TRUCK IS STILL NOT OPERABLE. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS WITH A LOADED VEHICLE I LIKELY WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED THIS INCIDENT. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING I HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTING ON THE TRUCK. THE LOW BEAM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD BE INOPERABLE WHILE THE DRIVERS HIGH BEAM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WOULD WORK. ALSO, THE TAILLIGHTS WOULD STOP WORKING ON ONE SIDE AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD FLASH QUICKLY. NOT SEEING THIS AS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE I SIMPLY TOOK IT THE DEALER TO REFLASH THE TIPM. AFTER GETTING IT BACK WITH HALF THE LIGHTS INOPERABLE, THE AC DIDN'T WORK ANYMORE. NOW THE VEHICLE IS WORTHLESS AND ALL SENSE OF SECURITY AND SAFETY IS GONE. I CAN NO LONGER CONFIDENTLY TAKE MY FAMILY ANYWHERE IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT MY TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAGS AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. 4 MONTHS LATER THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. I HAVE READ ALL KINDS OF THINGS AND THEY MAKE IT SOUND LIKE IT IS NOT SAFE BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO TELL MY WIFE AND 2 YEAR OLD SON. THE DEALERS SAY THEY ARE NOT OFFERING LOANER OR RENTAL CARS SO I HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. MY DEALER DID SAY TO TRY TO LIMIT THE DRIVING UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN WHICH COULD BE A YEAR YET. HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO DO THAT? I REALLY THINK THEY NEED TO BE PROVIDING LOANERS TO THE VEHICLES THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG IS AFFECTED. I AM REALLY HOPING I AM NOT IN A ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUS AS THERE HAS BEEN PEOPLE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND KILLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN I TURN ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL, EITHER IT WONT TURN ON AT ALL, OR THE RIGHT SIDE TURN SIGNAL TURNS ON. ALSO MY HAZARD LIGHTS DOES NOT WORK, WHEN I TURN ON MY HAZARDS ONLY THE LEFT ARROW TURNS ON . NOT THE RIGHT. THIS IS A HAZARD SINCE IF I HAPPEN TO BE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT I NEED MY HAZARDS FOR OTHER CARS TO SEE MY VEHICLE AND NOT HIT ME. OR WHEN TURNING I NEED PEOPLE TO KNOW WHICH WAY I AM GOING. *TR

SUSPENSION
WE WERE HEADING OUT OF STATE ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING FEROCIOUSLY. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND HE SLOWED DOWN. WHEN HE SLOWED DOWN FROM 65 TO AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR THE SHAKING STOPPED. AS HE STARTED TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN IT STARTED AGAIN. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT IT FELT AS THE TRUCK WOULD FLIP. AS WE WERE TRYING TO FIND AN EXIT TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE WE CROSSED A BRIDGE WHICH WAS UNEVEN AND CAUSED THE SHAKING TO BEGIN AGAIN. AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT MY HUSBAND GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AND LOOKED UNDER IT EXPECTING TO FIND SOMETHING BROKEN OR WORN BUT HE COULD FIND NOTHING THAT LOOKED WRONG. WHILE HEADING BACK HOME IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES EITHER WHEN HE GOT UP TO A CERTAIN SPEED OR HIT AN UNEVEN PLACE IN THE ROAD. THE SHAKE WAS FRIGHTENING AND IT MADE THE TRUCK HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL TO THE POINT IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FLIP. IT WAS A TRUE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. AFTER 3 MONTHS AND 2 TIMES IN THE SHOP WITH VARIOUS FRONT-END PARTS REPLACED AND OVER $1000.00 SPENT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. WE ARE GETTING READY TO PUT IT BACK IN THE SHOP FOR A THIRD TIME ON THE 6TH OF APRIL, 2015. WE LOVE OUR TRUCK BUT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF IT DURING OUR EVERYDAY USE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRUCK BEGAN STALLING WITH ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AT RANDOM: WHILE DRIVING, AT STOP LIGHTS, ETC. TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME. DIAGNOSED AS A BAD FUEL PUMP. FUEL PUMP REPLACED WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN BEHAVIOR. DIAGNOSED AS INTERMITTENT RANDOM NO ELECTRICAL POWER TO FUEL PUMP MODULE CAUSED BY MALFUNCTIONING TIPM. REPLACEMENT IS $900-$1100. TOLD THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH CHRYSLER/DODGE TIPMS, WITH NO GUARANTEE OF NON-RECURRENCE. TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO A SHUT DOWN OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WHILE DRIVING DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT WAS HUGE. DODGE DEALER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM WITH TIPMS, BUT THEIR MECHANIC HAS COMMUNICATED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH TIPMS, THAT THEY HAVE THE PART ON BACK-ORDER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE TIPM PROBLEM AND DODGE'S COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE REPLACEMENT/PROGRAMMING OF THESE MODULES, HOLDING OWNERS HOSTAGE. *TR
