POWER TRAIN
I WAS LEAVING WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED. I LEFT THE DRIVEWAY AND GOT ON THE ROAD AND ONCE I HIT ABOUT 35 OR SO MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SEIZE AND POPPED IN THE REAR. MY TRUCK THEN BEGAN TO BOUNCE IN THE BACK AND I HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I WAS VERY CONFUSED. I STARTED TO DRIVE AND TURN BACK TO THE STREET AND IT STARTED VIOLENTLY BOUNCING AGAIN SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO THEN HELPED ME FIGURE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WE TOOK IT APART AND FOUND CHUNKS OF METAL GEARS ALL OVER THE BOTTOM. I HAD TO HAVE IT REBUILT FOR $1800 TOTAL. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONFUSED AS TO HOW A REAR DIFF. COULD JUST GIVE OUT SO I LOOKED IT UP AND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR OR CLOSE TO IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD. SOME AT HIGHER, MORE DANGEROUS SPEEDS FOR SOMETHING THAT VITAL TO GIVE OUT. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN ABOUT THIS MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND HAVING THE SAME SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS PART THAT I HAD AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR IT. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED. THE TRUCK IS BARELY BROKEN IN AND I LOVE IT WHICH IS WHY I WAS HEARTBROKEN WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WANT A RECALL DONE TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHERS AND TO HELP THOSE THAT IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED TOO. I'M VERY UPSET THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I'M GLAD I WASN'T GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LIKE SOME OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I WANT THE WHOLE PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE I HEARD IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVELINE AS WELL AND IF THAT SHATTERS LIKE THE REAR DIFF THEN I HOPE I'M AS LUCKY THE FIRST TIME. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAB VIA THE HEATER-A/C FRESH AIR INTAKE. DOES NOT DO THIS WHEN THE "RECIRCULATION" MODE IS USED. I'VE HAD AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THREE DIFFERENT DODGE DEALER SHOPS CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST THREE SHOPS COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE LAST SHOP SAID THERE WAS A SMALL LEAK IN THE EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY. I HAD DEALERSHIP SHOP (LITHIA DODGE OF ROSEBURG,OR) REPLACE THE EGR VALVE/COOLER ASSEMBLY (AT A COST OF $1,068.84). THIS DID NOT CURE OR REDUCE THE PROBLEM. MY FEELING IS SINCE THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SMOG SYSTEM-MOST LIKELY THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER OPERATION. I DO KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS YEAR DIESEL TRUCK PROBLEM. IS THERE A CURE??? ALSO, THE TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE ANY BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE. I HAVE ALWAYS USED THE CORRECT OIL AND FUEL IN THIS VEHICLE. ALL UPDATES ARE CURRENT ACCORDING TO DODGE DEALER. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
I LIVE IN WISCONSIN WHERE WE EXPERIENCE EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES, AND WITH WINTER TEMPERATURES OFTEN BELOW ZERO, THE OCCUPANTS NEED TO BE WARM TO BE SAFE. THE SAFETY OF DRIVER AND FAMILIES DEPENDS ON THE PROPER WORKING ORDER OF HEATER IN THESE CONDITIONS. THE HEATER BLENDER DOOR IS APPARENTLY STUCK TO THE OPEN POSITION ALLOWING FRIDGE COLD OUTSIDE AIR TO BE BLOWN INTO THE CAB IN THE FOOT AREA. AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR TO OUR DESTINATION THE DRIVER AND THE OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT SEAT NO LONGER CAN FEEL THEIR FEET BECAUSE OF BEING SO COLD. "HOW CAN PROPER ACCELERATION AND BRAKING BE APPLIED WHEN THE OPERATORS FEET ARE FROZEN?". THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND A HEALTH HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE FROST BITE, BECAUSE THE COLD AIR CAN'T BE DIVERTED OR SHUT OFF. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN NUMEROUS MODELS AND YEARS OF DODGE VEHICLES. THE AVERAGE COST OF THE FIX IS 1000.00 TO 1500.00 BECAUSE THE DASH NEEDS TO BE PULLED OUT. I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH THIS ISSUE HAS GENERATED IN AUTO REPAIRS, DO TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. I EVEN SPOKE TO A PERSON WHILE WAITING AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS GETTING IT FIXED. THIS COSTLY/ COMMON REPAIR, IF NOT FIXED CAN EFFECT THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE OPERATORS GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. JUDGING BY THE COMMENTS ON-LINE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

STEERING
MY SON ([XXX]) WAS DRIVING ALONG KING COLLEGE ROAD, BRISTOL,TENNESSEE AT ABOUT 8:55PM ON DECEMBER 4, 2014 MY VEHICLE BECAME UNSTEERABLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE ROD APPARENTLY BROKE AND HE WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT HE HAD TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. COME TO FIND OUT IT APPEARS SOMEONE ERRONEOUSLY LISTED THE VEHICLE IN THE SYSTEM AS BEING REPAIRED AND IT WAS NEVER REPAIRED. I BELIEVE SOMEONE LISTED IT SO CHRYSLER WOULD NOT HAVE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND IT COULD HAVE COST MY SON'S LIFE WHEN THE TIRE ROD BROKE. I AM REQUESTING THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE CONDUCTED TO SEE WHO ERRONEOUSLY LISTED THE VEHICLE AS BEING REPAIRED. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING
THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM MORE THAN LIKELY BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE A RECALL AND MUCH MONEY TO SPEND. I HAVE ALSO ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE MAINTAINED THE SAME POSITION AS CHRYSLER. UPON RESEARCHING THE NET MANY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS; AT SPEEDS OF 55 TO 70 MPH, UPON HITTING NORMAL POT HOLES (NORMAL FOR CALIF POT HOLES) THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS IS SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WHERE THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW TO ABOUT 30. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY IT HAPPENS MAINLY ON THE FREEWAY. MY LATEST EPISODE HAPPENED ON A PORTION OF A HIGHWAY WITH A CURVE TO THE RIGHT. AFTER THE WOBBLE STARTED DUE TO CENTRIFICAL FORCE THE TRUCK "DANCED" INTO THE ONCOMING LANE AND ON TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE SAME LANE. IN AN EFFORT TO SLOW THE TRUCK I WAS NOW ON GRAVEL/DIRT SLIDING SIDE WAYS. CAME TO A STOP AND SAT TO COLLECT MYSELF. RESUMED MY TRAVEL SLOWING TO 40 MPH AT ANY AND EVERY CURVE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE ON ANY FREEWAY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I AM NOT ALONE. SIMPLY LOG ON TO THE NET AND TYPE IN DEATH WOBBLE. YOU WILL DISCOVER HOW PREVALENT THIS PROBLEM IS. CAN YOU FOLKS HELP? *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL PERFECTLY AND IN MOST CASES MAINTENANCE DONE BEFORE REQUIRED. ON THE DATE ABOVE I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. SINCE I WAS 2 HOURS FROM HOME I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THEIR REPAIR ORDER INDICATES THAT ALL 6 INJECTORS, THE DPF, CRANKCASE BREATHER FILTER, THERMOSTAT, OX SENSOR AND 2 TEMP SENSORS MUST BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT INCLUDING ALL FILTERS, AIR AND FUEL AND OIL CHANGED AND FILTER. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT ALL THIS WORK WILL COST ME $7500. THIS TRUCK HAS TOO LITTLE MILEAGE TO NEED ALL THIS WORK. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAST TRUCK I WOULD OWN FIGURING THE CUMMINS ENGINE'S REPUTATION. INTERESTED IN WHETHER THIS TRUCK IS AN ABERRATION OR IS IT SIMILAR TO TRUCKS WITH THE FIRST CLEAN BURNING ENGINE? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE LIGHT AND GAS CAP LIGHT KEEP COMING ON. REPLACED GAS CAP. LIGHT STILL COMING ON. INDEPENDENT GARAGE SAYS THERE IS AN AIR LEAK IN LINE. APPEARS TO BE A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH FUEL LINES ON THIS MODEL THAT LEAK BECAUSE THEY RUB ON HOUSING AND NOT INSTALL PROPER BY MANUFACTURER. LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT WILL BE 1,100 TO 1,400 TO FIX FUEL LINES. *TR
