WHEELS
THE WAY THESE RIMS ARE DESIGNED ARE VERY POOR. WATER GETS TRAPPED INSIDE THE RIM ROTS THEM OUT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN ALL IN A SUDDEN, THE PART OF THE RIM THAT HAS THE 8 HOLES WHERE YOU WOULD BOLT THE RIM TO THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE DRUM PART OF THE RIM, THE TIRE WENT FLAT, AND VEHICLE STOPPED. AND TO EVEN GET TO THE ACTUAL LUG NUTS, I HAD TO DESTROY THE CHROME FACE TO GET TO THEM BECAUSE THEY SHIFTED WHEN THE RIM SEPARATED FROM 8 BOLT PATTERN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY I DIDN'T CAUSE MYSELF OR ANYBODY ELSE ON THE ROAD ANY HARM OR EVEN DEATH. AFTER SEEING THAT, I REPLACED ALL 4 RIMS AND TIRES, A $1500 BILL I WASN'T PLANNING ON BUT GOT TO BE SAFE FOR MY SAKE AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TRUCK HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES BY COMPLETELY LOSING POWER ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE. DEALER CLAIMS TO HAVE "REPLACED" COMPUTER BUT CHRYSLER CORP CONFIRMS DEALER JUST "REFLASHED" COMPUTER. MULTIPLE RECALLS HAVE OCCURRED AND TRUCK WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALER BUT I KNOW THE OLD PARTS REMAIN IN PLACE! I CANNOT TRUST THIS DEALER TO DO ANYTHING THEY CLAIM TO DO, PROVEN BY COMPARING THE WRITTEN WORK ORDER WITH THE RECORDS AT CHYSLER CORPORATE. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, MY WIFE WILL NOT STEP FOOT ON IT AND AS I AM AN AMPUTEE EVERY TIME I GET STRANDED(3 TIMES SO FAR) I CANNOT WALK TO GET HELP. SO I AM AT THE MERCY OF AVAILABLE CELL PHONE SIGNAL OR JUST PRAY. THE DEALER HAD CONTINUALLY STALLED US ON REPAIRING THESE PROBLEMS UP UNTIL THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY FIGURED OUT THE "ACTUAL" PROBLEM AND COULD NOW FIX IT FOR A FEW THOUSAND!! DOLLARS. PLEASE HELP US- WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR SOME KIND OF JUSTICE FOR 6 YEARS! TRUCK HAS ONLY 24000 TOTAL,ACTUAL SCARY MILES ON IT. PAID CASH OF APPROX $50,000 AND ARE SO HURT AND DISGUSTED WITH OUR PURCHASE BUT MOST OUTRAGED BY THE TREATMENT AND LACK OF NORMAL HUMAN CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY OR OUR LIVES FOR THAT MATTER. LAST REMARK FROM DEALER OWNER TO US: "NOT MY PROBLEM TOUGH S..T" THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BECOME CHRYSLET CORPS PROBLEM AND WE WANT THE TIMELY RETURN OF OUR MONEY ASAP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE . THIS IS A NIGHTMARE AND HAS CAUSED US BOTH SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON THIS MODEL, AS WELL AS OTHERS WITHIN A CLOSE DATE RANGE, THE FORWARD CONTROL MODULE(FCM) SHUTS OFF THE HEADLIGHTS IF IT RECOGNIZES ANY DISRUPTION IN CURRENT OR GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 4 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS TURN ON MY BRIGHTS, WHICH IN TURN BLINDS OTHER DRIVERS. THE MODULE IS LOCATED OUTBOARD OF THE FUSE BOX, LOCATED ABOVE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. PRICE IS USUALLY AROUND $400 FOR PART, THEN I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO SOMEBODY TO HAVE IT KEYED TO MY COMPUTER FOR ANOTHER $100-200. THERE IS NO VARIABLE AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENS, SOMETIMES WHILE IN MOTION, SOMETIMES WHILE STATIONARY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE TRUCK WILL NOT POWER THE LEFT STOP LAMP OR SIGNAL LAMP ON ANY OF MY TRAILERS; HOWEVER, THE LEFT SIGNAL AND STOP LAMP ON THE TRUCK WORK PERFECTLY. DODGE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE TRUCK'S TIPM WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A FUSE FOR THAT PORTION OF THE TRAILER'S LIGHTING AND BURNED OUT INTERNALLY. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE TIPM WHICH COSTS $1026.00. DEALERSHIP ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH THEY HAVE SEEN BEFORE. THERE IS NOTHING TO INDICATE THAT THE TRAILER LAMPS AREN'T WORKING EXCEPT TO PHYSICALLY OBSERVE THEM. THIS TIPM ALSO CONTROLS NUMEROUS OTHER THINGS IN THE TRUCK AND INFO FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND INTERNET SEARCHES INDICATE THERE ARE MANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS OCCURRING DUE TO THEM MALFUNCTIONING. THESE ARE DEFECTIVE UNITS THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO MAKE A SIMPLE LIGHT FUNCTION, OR DEAL WITH A WORSE PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
WENT TO TAKE THE BUYBACK . WENT TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY OFFERED TO BUY MY VEHICLE FOR $16,000. THIS WAS JUST TO BUY IT TO RESELL. THEY SAID THE VALUE WAS $18,750 BUT THEY WERE BUYING IT TO RESELL AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BUYBACK. TOLD ME TO CONTACT FCA. CONTACTED FCA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD BUY IT BACK FOR $11,000. THAT WOULD BE ALL THE WOULD GIVE ME FOR IT. I HAVE THE PAPERS FROM THE LOCAL DEALER WHO MADE THE OFFER. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A UNFAIR RESALE OFFER PLUS AN ADDITIONAL 10% THAT THE OFFER WAS SUPPOSE TO BE.
