POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS
SEVERE NOISE IN REAR PINION AREA, POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO REAR DIFFERENTIAL; FROM PREVIOUS PROBLEM WHEN REAR PINION NUT BACKED OFF CAUSING REAR PINION FLANGE & DRIVE LINE TO FALL OUT OF THE REAR END. THIS OCCURRED LESS THAN 300 MILES AFTER INCIDENT ASSOCIATED WITH CONFORMATION NUMBER 10763197. AS WELL AS I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS AT THE TIME OF FILING THE OTHER INCIDENT, WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD DUE TO A LOCKED DIFFERENTIAL, WE HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE TO GET IT SAFELY OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IF I HADN'T OF HAD HELP I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO A SAFE LOCATION TO WAIT UNTIL ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE ARRIVED. I HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROLLING THE ACCELERATION SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THE SAME PART ISSUES WERE ASSOCIATED WITH PRIOR AND LATTER YEAR RECALLS, 13V038000, 14V796000. I WAS LUCKY WITH MY SON TO HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IF THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OUT AT FASTER SPEEDS, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD CRASH TO MY VEHICLE, OR ANOTHER PERSON WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME IN THE SAME LANE DUE TO A LOOSE DRIVE SHAFT.

STEERING
I HAD RECALL N49 / NHTSA 13V-529 CONDUCTED ON MY VEHICLE, NOW THE STEERING WHEEL HAS MOVED FROM THE CENTER TO THE RIGHT. MY DIRECTION OF TRAVEL IS STRAIGHT, WHEN DRIVING, BUT THE TOP OF STEERING WHEEL IS NOW POINTED TO THE 2:00 PM. I ASKED THE LARRY H MILLER RAM IN UTAH, IF I COULD DO A BUY BACK AND THEY TOLD ME "NO YOUR VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE YOU HAD THE N49 DONE ON IT". WHEN I READ THE FCA V NHTSA IT DID NOT SAY THAT, IT SAID THEY "FCA" WILL DO A BUY BACK DUE TO THE CASE IN QUESTION.

AIR BAGS
THIS IS A FOLLOW UP EMAIL FOR ONE THAT I SENT BACK IN MAY OF 2015 . MY DODGE RAM STILL HAS NOT HAD THE AIR BAGS RECALL FIX DONE ON IT . IT NOW HAS BEEN ANOTHER 3 MONTHS SINCE I WAS TOLD THAT GREENBRIER DODGE IN CHESAPEAKE , VA. WOULD BE DOING THE REPAIR . I HAVE CALLED THEM TWICE TO CHECK ON MY STATUS . EACH TIME I AM TOLD THE SAME THING ; THE PARTS HAVE NOT COME IN YET . I FEEL THAT FCA IS STALLING ON THIS MATTER . I SENT A FOLLOW UP EMAIL TO CHRYSLER TODAY ALSO . I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOW PAST THE RIDICULOUS STAGE . NOTHING SHOULD TAKE THIS LONG TO GET RESOLVED . ANY PRESSURE YOU COULD PUT ON FCA WOULD BE APPRECIATED . I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FINED $105 MILLION DOLLARS FOR NOT DOING THE RECALL REPAIRS IN A TIMELY MANNER . MAYBE , A LARGER FINE WOULD GET THEIR ATTENTION . THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY RANT . I JUST WANT MY TRUCK FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS . THANKS AGAIN . *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECEIVED THE LETTER ABOUT THE RAM BUY BACK PROGRAM. THEY CLEARLY STATE FAIR MARKET VALUE BUT WHEN I GO TO THE WEB PAGE WWW.FCARECALL.COM IT CLEARLY IS ONLY OFFERING ME TRADE IN VALUE FOR MY TRUCK. FEEL FREE TO USE MY VIN AND TRY IT FOR YOURSELF, NOTE THAT THE PAGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IN CHROME AND YOU WILL NEED TO USE IE BROWSER...EVERY OPERATOR AT FCA CORRECTLY DEFINES THE DEFINITION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE BUT THEN WHEN WE DISCUSS THE BUY BACK PROGRAM THE DEFINITION CHANGES TO TRADE IN VALUE EVEN THOUGH THE LETTER CLEARLY STATES FAIR MARKET VALUE...VERY FRUSTRATING. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE...UPDATED 03/15/16 *BF

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ARRIVED AT LOWES, LEFT THE TRUCK RUNNING OUT FRONT OF THE STORE WHILE UNDLOADING RIDING MOWER TO RETURN. WHEN WE CAME BACK OUT VEHICLE HAD SHUT OFF AND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. LIFTED THE HOOD AND NOTED FUSE BOX SMOKING. JUMPED BACK IN TRUCK AND MADE SURE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND KEY OUT OF INGNITION. WHILE WAITING FOR FRIENDS TO TOWE THE TRUCK, WIPERS STARTED HORN AND ALARM STARTED THEN CAR STARTED UP AND TOOK OFF ACROSS THE PARKING LOT. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLE OR PERSONS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND WAS GOOD THING WE WAITED OUTSIDE FOR FRIENDS INSTEAD OF RETURNING INSIDE THE STORE. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO JUMP IN THE TRUCK, BUT WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION HE WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE THE TRUCK OR STEER THE TRUCK, SO BECAUSE IT WAS A MANUAL HE WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT OF GEAR AND APPLY EMERGENCY BRAKE. SADLY AFTER THIS OCCURRED I HAVE DISCOVERED EVEN MORE HORRIFIC INCIDENCES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO PEOPLE WHILE DRIVING LEAVING THEM WITHOUT STEERING OR BRAKES. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND STILL NO RECALL. I'VE EVEN SEEN THIS DESCRIBED AS A "COMMON OCCURANCE".......REALLY ! NO CRASH OR FATALITIES THIS TIME, BUT BY THE SOUND TOO MANY NEAR MISSES AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
I WAS JUST NOTIFIED FOR A PROBLEM WITH MY AIR BAG. I HAD ANOTHER RECALL ABOUT MY GAS FILLER TUBE, REPAIRED BY DODGE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT ANY OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH THE WHEEL BEARING. THIS PART FAILED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND I HAD IT REPLACED BUT NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL WHEEL BEARING PART THAT WAS GIVEN ME AT REPLACEMENT. WHAT IS GOING ON? IS MY FRONT END GOING TO FAIL WHILE MY FAMILY IS DRIVING IT? I ONLY HAVE 89,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER.

POWER TRAIN
AS I WAS LEAVING FROM A STOP SIGN, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE THEN LOST POWER AND CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION FOR 1 1/2 HOURS. THE REAR PINION BROKE AND MY REAR DRIVE SHAFT BROKE. A PIECE WAS SHEARED OFF AND MY REAR END GEARS ARE SHOT. THERE WAS RECALL WORK DONE ON THE PINION SEAL BUT THAT APPARENTLY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE REAR END WAS COMPLETELY SIEZED UP. I'M POSITIVE WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE GONNA TELL ME THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF THE RECALL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK FOR THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS I'VE HAD THE THING. I WILL NEVER AGAIN OWN A DODGE PRODUCT. MY KIDS WE'RE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I THANK GOD I WASN'T ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT COULD'VE BEEN A LOT WORSE. I CERTAINLY HOPE DODGE LOOKS INTO THIS AND FIXES THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.
