STEERING, SUSPENSION
THERE IS EXTENSIVE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY TRUCK AND MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON AND RECOGNIZED PROBLEM BY DODGE/CHRYSLER FOR THEIR DODGE RAM LINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND AN IDENTIFIED DESIGN FLAW. IT OBVIOUSLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TO NEARLY STOP THE TRUCK TO CALM THE SHAKING.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 2015 I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR MY DODGE RAM 1500. THIS RECALL GAVE ME A BUYBACK OPTION ON OCTOBER 1ST WHICH STATED I WOULD RECEIVE FAIR MARKET VALUE + 10%. I COMPLETED A KELLYS BLUE BOOK APPRAISAL FOR MY VEHICLE AS DIRECTED BY THE FCA WHICH GAVE ME A VALUE OF 21,500 (TRADE IN VALUE). I CONTACTED FCA AND ASSURED ME THAT I WOULD RECEIVE FAIR MARKET VALUE WHICH THEY STATED WOULD BE HIGHRLER THAN TRADE IN VALUE (21,500) AND LESS THAN RETAIL. I AGAIN ACCESSED KELLYS BLUE BOOK WHICH THE FCA STATED THEY WOULD USE AT IT PROVED ME WITH A FAIR MARKET VALUE OF 25,500. ON OCTOBER 1ST I PROCEEDED TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP (BAXTER DODGE) IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA FOR THE THIRD PARTY APPRAISAL AS DIRECTED BY THE FCA AFTER CONTACTING SEVERAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS WHICH HAD NO INFORMATION ON THE RECALL OR BUYBACK OPTION. AFTER WAITING SEVERAL HOURS FOR A THIRD PARTY APPRAISER TO ARRIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD BE THE DEALERSHIP THAT I COULD ONLY DO THE BUYBACK OPTION IF I BOUGHT ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THEM. AFTER SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL CLOSING HOURS, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NEED ANOTHER 24 HOURS TO ENTER MY TRUCKS INFORMATION INTO THE COMPUTER TO GET THE APPRAISAL VALUE. AFTER 36 HOURS HAD PAST I RECONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO DUE TO NO ONE CONTACTING ME AS I WAS INFORMED THEY WOULD. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD AN APPRAISAL AND QUOTED ME AT 16,000/INCLUDING THE 10% (15,500) UNDER FAIR MARKET VALUE. I CONTACTED THE FCA AND INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS NOT RECEIVING WHAT THE RECALL STATED I WOULD IF I CHOSE THE BUYBACK OPTION. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I AM CONTACTING YOU DO TO THE FCA FAILING TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES THE NHTSA SET FOR THEM IN REFERENCE TO THE SAFETY RECALL BUYBACK OPTION. I RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION PROMISING ME FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR MY VEHICLE + 10% AND THE END RESULT WAS NOTHING EVEN CLOSE TO FAIR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
WE WERE MADE AWARE OF THE THREE (3) RECALLS AND POSSIBLE BUYBACK ON OUR 2011 DODGE RAM 3500 TRUCK BY "WORD OF MOUTH"! WE WERE NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT THE RECALLS OR THE CONSENT ORDER-----WE ACCIDENTALLY FOUND OUT! WE HAVE HAD SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TWICE, ONCE WHILE REFUELING AND ONCE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION. WE HAVE NOTICED A BAD AND DANGEROUS VIBRATION FROM THE STEERING! EVEN THOUGH WE CONTACTED FCA REGARDING THESE PROBLEMS, AND MY REQUEST FOR A COPY OF THE BUYBACK LETTER, I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING EXCEPT COPIES OF THE THREE (3) RECALLS, WITH N49 BEING NOTED AS THE MOST DANGEROUS! FCA PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH THE FCA RESOLUTION CENTER, WHICH IS A 3RD PARTY VENDOR FOR FCA, AND THEY ARE GIVING ME THE "RUN A ROUND"! TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE THERE HAVE GIVEN ME TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF "THINGS" THEY WILL NEED IN ORDER TO MAKE AN OFFER ON OUR AFFECTED TRUCK. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO GET ANY KIND OF BUYBACK ON OUR VEHICLE. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT FCA HAS NO INTENTION OF BUYING BACK THESE VEHICLES! I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH FCA SINCE JULY 28TH, TO NO AVAIL!

STEERING
I WAS COMING OUT OF THE HILLS AFTER A DAY OF HUNTING AND AS I MADE IT BACK TO TOWN LUCKLY GOING SLOWLY I TURNED THE CORNER AND MY DRIVER SIDE TIE ROD END BROKE. LEAVING MY TRUCK STRANDED IN A SMALL TOWN ABOUT 5 MILES FROM MY CAMP. TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL SHOP THE NEXT DAY CAUSE THIS HAPPEND ON A SUNDAY AND GOT IT FIXED. THE MECANIC AT THE LOCAL SHOP TOLD ME THIS WAS A RECALLED PART. SO AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM MY HUNTING TRIP I LOOKED IT UP AND IT IS A RECALLED PART ON MANY DODGE VEHICLES. WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED? IF THIS HAPPEND AT 65 MILES AN HOUR MY 4 KIDS PROBLEY WOULDENT HAVE A FATHER TODAY. I HAVE A RECITE FOR THE WORK DONE. NOT ONLY DO I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND COMPENSATION FOR MY TIME I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED OF ANY OHTER RECALLS. THIS DODGE OF MINE IS A PAVEMENT POUNDER. IT DRIVES FREEWAYS ONLY MOST OF THE YEAR AND ONLY A COUPLE WEEKS OUT OF THE YEAR DRIIVES MOUTAIN ROADS DURING HUNTING SEASON TO GET ME TO AND FROM MY LOCATIONS TO GET OUT AND HIKE BEHIND CLOSED GATES. IT HAULS NOTHING OTHER THAN A FEW ANIMALS AND A SMALL 19 FT TRAVEL TRAILER DURING HUNTING SEASON.
