STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE CRACKS AND PIECES FALL DOWN INTO AIR VENTS (MADE FROM CHEAP PLASTIC). IF AIR BAGS WERE TO DEPLOY THE DASH WOULD DESIGNATE CAUSING PREVENTABLE INJURIES IF CRACKING WAS NOT AN ISSUE.

AIR BAGS
I SPOKE TO MICKI AT NEWNAN PEACHTREE DODGE ON 2/23/15 AND 5/14/15 PERTAINING TO RECALL P78/NHTSA 14V-770 AIR BAG NOTICE. MY FIRST CONTACT ON 2/23, I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER HAS NOT RELEASED THE PARTS. MY SECOND CONTACT ON 5/14, I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE SHIPPED AND THE HARNESS FOR THE DEVICE WAS TOO SHORT. I WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW UP WITH THEM ON PARTS STATUS. THEY HAVE MADE NO PROGRESS IN THREE MONTHS AND I'M FOLLOWING THE PROTOCOL SET OUT IN THE ADVISORY. I CANNOT ALLOW MY SON TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE. I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THIS IS UP FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.

THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE CRACKED AFTER ABOUT 7 YEARS. A MONTH AGO, AS MY SON WAS DRIVING, A LARGE SECTION OF THE DASHBOARD POPPED OUT AND FLEW OFF THE DASHBOARD ONTO THE FLOOR. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL ON THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN PIECES START FLYING OFF WHILE DRIVING, I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I REALIZE ALL OLDER VEHICLES CAN HAVE CRACKED DASHBOARDS, BUT WHEN CRACKS LEAD TO PARTS POPPING OFF, SAFETY IS AN ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
REAR END FROZE, LOCKED UP, AND DRIVE SHAFT CAME OFF. THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS CURRENT RECALL P77 FOR 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. MY TRUCK SHOWS A MANUFACTURE DATE OF NOVEMBER 2003, WHEREAS THE P77 STARTS FOR TRUCKS MANUFACTURED BEGINNING JANUARY 2004. MY QUESTION IS WHAT DID DODGE DO DIFFERENT FROM NOVEMBER 2003 TO JANUARY 2004 ( 2 MONTHS), AND IF NOTHING , WHY ISN'T MY TRUCK NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, AND IF HER REAR LOCKED UP ON THE HIGHWAY, JUST A FEW MINUTES EARLIER, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A VERY POPULAR TRUCK, AND SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT!

AIR BAGS, STEERING, SUSPENSION
IN MARCH 2015 I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT MY TRUCK HAD A RECALL INVOLVING THE REAR AXLE. AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE, I STOPPED DRIVING MY TRUCK. IN ADDITION, WHILE SEARCHING MY VIN # ON YOUR SITE, I FOUND THAT MY TRUCK HAD ANOTHER RECALL. THIS RECALL INVOLVES THE AIR BAGS. MY TRUCK IS MY FAMILY'S ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. SINCE I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO BORROW MY PARENTS AND SIBLINGS VEHICLES. I EVEN HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TAKE THE BUS. I FEEL THAT THESE RECALLS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED ALREADY. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION? I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY FAMILY OR MYSELF AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NOT SAFE. THANK YOU.

THE DASH COVER HAS CRACKED IN HALF ON PASSENGER SIDE, DOWN THE MIDDLE. IT WAS NOT BROKEN THE PREVIOUS DAY. I DISCOVERED IT WHILE CLEANING THE DASH, IT CUT MY HAND ON THE SHARP EDGES. THE CRACK IS IN A VERY BAD PLACE, IT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER AND HAS EXPOSED SHARP EDGES WHERE A PERSON CAN EASILY CUT THEIR HANDS.
