SERVICE BRAKES, STRUCTURE:BODY
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, THESE RUBBER BRAKE LINES ALMOST KILLED ME BARRELING THRU A DOWNHILL RED LIGHT. FIXED BAD PART,THEN HIT GUARD RAIL,DAMAGED FRONT GRILLE,BUMPER AND FENDER WHEN THE OTHER LINE POPPED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A NOTORIOUS PROBLEM WITH DODGE TRUCKS. I'M NOT AS ANGRY ABOUT THE FILLER NECK WHICH ROTTED AND FILED TANK W RUST CHUNKS,REPLACED FUEL PUMP. BUT I THINK MORE PPL NEED TO B AWARE OF THIS BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AND I MIGHT SCRAP IT BECAUSE IT'S PROBLEMS 120K MILE TRUCK I CAN'T EVEN GET 700$ FOR AFTER THE $ I'VE INVESTED TO KEEP IT SAFE. I THINK THE BRAKES NEED TO BE RECALLED WITH THESE TRUCKS. OWNERS LIKE ME JUST LET THEM SIT BECAUSE THEY ROSY SO EASY THEIR NOT WORTH FIXING ANYMORE, I REGULARLY MAINTENENCE MY VEHICLES,THESE ARE EXPENSIVE TO KEEP SAFE, THANK YOU. SCOTT KIMBALL.120K 98 RAM

THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN RECALLED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, DODGE DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE SAFETY RISKS INVOLVED INCLUDE "METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS."

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS TRUCK IS USED TO HAUL A CAMPER AND A CAR TRAILER FOR MY SHOW CARS. TODAY I STARTED TRUCK TO HOOKUP TO CAR TRAILER FOR THE FOURTH TIME TIME THIS YEAR. THIS TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEN IN THE WINTERS YET WHILE BACKING UP TO THE TRAILER I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO HAVE THE BRAKE PEDAL GO TO THE FLOOR. I FOUND THAT THE LINE GOING TO THE REAR IS RUSTED NEAR THE FUEL TANK AND SPRAYS BRAKE FLUID ONTO THE FUEL TANK. ALSO A LINE FOR THE FRONT BRAKES COMING DOWN FROM THE ABS UNIT FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE BRAKE FLUID SPRAYING EVERYWHERE. THIS CAUSED A COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. IT APPEARS THE OEM COATED ALL OTHER UNDER VEHICLE COMPONENTS YET LEFT THE BRAKE LINES RAW STEEL. I WRITE THIS AS A SEARCH TO WEB TO FIND THIS IS OCCURRING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS IF THIS HAPPEN TO ME AFTER HIT THE ROAD WITH 9,000 LBS OF TRAILER BEHIND ME WITH NO BRAKES EITHER MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE ON THE ROAD COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

STEERING
DEATHWOBBLE, TRAVELING DOWN INTERSTATE AND HIT A BUMP, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY AND GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP WAS TO HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN VERY FAST. WITH 18 WHEELERS ALL OVER THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO TERRIFIED OF DRIVING A VEHICLE IN MY LIFE! MY FAMILY WAS WITH ME. DODGE HAS COME OUT WITH AN "UPGRADE KIT AND NEW HEAVIER DUTY STEERING BOX" HMMMM...WONDER WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THERE IS NO QUICK FIX. I AM TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS, STEERING BOX, STEERING STABILIZER AND GET STIFFER SHOCKS AND OR SPRINGS. MEANWHILE, $5000.00 LATER, IT MAY WORK? MAYBE?

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING TRUCK, THROTTLE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING, ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND LIGHTENING BOLT COMES UP. CAR THEN LOSES ALL POWER AND IT DIES. NO NOTICE. VERY SCARY. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATALITY ACCIDENT SINCE THERE IS NO NOTICE AND IT JUST GOES FROM 60 - 0. DEALER HAS HAD THE TRUCK IN HALF A DOZEN TIMES AND STILL CANNOT FIX THE ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS GIVEN ME CASE MANAGER, BUT THEY CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT EITHER. THEY HAVE TRIED A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT IT IS NOT FIXING THE ISSUE. NOW DEALER SAYS THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS AND THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

I GOT RECALL P77 IN EARLY FEBRUARY 2015. AS OF JUNE 10TH 2015 I HAVE CALLED ALL THREE DODGE DEALERS AROUND ME AND NONE OF THEM HAVE PARTS AND NO TIME FRAME FOR PARTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL WHICH IF IT BREAK (MINE AS NOT YET) CAN BE DEADLY. I BELIEVE IN MY OPINION DODGE IS TAKING ITS TIME SINCE IT'S A TEN YEAR OLD VECHICLE
