STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND WITHIN A WEEK THE KEY WOULDN'T GO INTO THE IGNITION AND ONCE IN WOULDN'T COME BACK OUT. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY LOCKING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL NOW DOESN'T GO OFF AND WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT OFF MY SELF THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ACTIVATES! THIS WENT ON BACK AND FORTH A GOOD EIGHT TIMES BEFORE BOTH SHUT OFF. MY FRONT HEADLIGHTS (MOSTLY RIGHT BUT CANNOT REALLY SEE THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING) THE LIGHTS SHAKES AND BOUNCES WHEN I GO OVER ANYTHING UNEVEN. UPON COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP THE TRUCK PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO THE GRASS. THIS VEHICLE JUST DOESN'T DRIVE RIGHT. THE WHOLE FRONT END SEEMS LOOSE. I CANNOT DRIVE OVER 50 OR THE REAR END COMES OFF THE GROUND WHEN I BRAKE TO MAKE MY TURN. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THIS EVENING. MY DEALER 30 DAY WARRANTY EXPIRES TOMORROW. THE 3 YEAR 36000 MANUFACTURER WARRANTY IS UP SINCE THREE YEARS ARE GONE - ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 31864 MILES NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE REPAIRS WHILE STILL FINANCED. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF FOUR AND ALWAYS HAVE MY FOUR YEAR OLD IN THE TRUCK. IT'S TO THE POINT I NO LONGER TRUST DRIVING THIS TRUCK. *TR

AIR BAGS
BACK IN JAN . , I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2003 RAM1500 ABOUT THE DRIVER AIRBAG . I THINK IT WAS NOTICE P40 . I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO MY DEALER , SOUTHERN CHRYSLER JEEP RAM AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO ORDER THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE . I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES CHECKING ON THE ISSUE AND EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A PARTS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER CAN'T GET THE PARTS . IT IS NOW MAY 5TH AND STILL NO FIX . I THINK THAT THE DEALERSHIP AND MAYBE CHRYSLER , THINK THAT I WILL JUST FORGET ABOUT THE ISSUE . I PROMISE THAT I WILL NOT FORGET . IN MARCH , I RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG . I THINK THAT RECALL NOTICE IS P78 . I AM NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH THIS DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER . I THINK 4 MONTHS IS PLENTY OF TIME TO GET THE NECESSARY PARTS IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM . IT SOUNDS LIKE I AM BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND STALL . GOD FORBID THAT EITHER AIRBAG SYSTEM SHOULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE ME INJURY OR POSSIBLY DEATH . I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO CHRYSLER TODAY WITH THE SAME INFORMATION THAT I AM SENDING YOU . I DO NOT LIKE RIDING AROUND IN A TRUCK THAT MAY HAVE THE AIRBAGS EXPLODE AND CAUSE ME INJURY OR DEATH . I JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO YOUR ATTENTION IN HOPES THAT , WITH YOUR HELP , THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED . [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE GOING DOWN INTERSTATE MY ABS, SERVICE 4WD, ESP TRACTION CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT SAME TIME. WHEN IT HAPPENED IT HAPPENED IT KNOCKED MY CRUISE OFF AND SLOWING DOWN. I GOT BACK ON THE GAS AND STARTED TO SPEED UP THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY GAS BECAME MY BRAKE IT LOCKED ALL 4 TIRES UP AT HIGH SPEED. I WAS VERY LUCKY NO ONE WAS REAL CLOSE TO ME. I MADE IT TO SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND CHECK IT OUT AND NO MATTER WHAT I DID I COULDN'T GET IT BACK GOING CORRECTLY. AT FIRST IT WOULD DO RIGHT AND GET UP TO 30MPH AND EASE ON GAS LITTLE BIT AND IT WOULD START BREAKING WHEN TOUCHING GAS. HAS TO HAVE IT TOWED. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I WAS REAL LUCKY NOT TO WRECK. I HOME THIS PROBLEM CAN GET RESOLVED. *TR

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS PREPARING TO PARK, MY TRUCK ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN JUMPING OVER A CONCRETE STOPPER AND INTO A LARGE METAL POLE IN FRONT OF A BUSINESS. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF MY TRUCK CAVED IN, THE HOOD, THE GRILL AND THE BUMPER CRUMPLED AND THE AIR BAG (WHICH SHOULD HAVE) DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX IT AND FILED A CRIMINAL NO TRESPASS AGAINST ME SO I CAN'T GO ON THE LOT OR TRY TO TALK TO THE SALESMAN. THE POLICE OFFICERS WHO RESPONDED CHECKED ME OVER, SAID IT WAS AN 'AT FAULT' ACCIDENT BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL AND GAVE ME A 'CRASH BUREAU FORM' TO FILL OUT, WHICH I DID. MY ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWED RECALLS ON BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND THE AIR BAGS. PLEASE HELP ME. MY INSURANCE IS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO THE FACT IT WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE AUTO PARTS AND THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT, WHICH THEY WON'T. I AM A FIFTY YEAR OLD DISABLED FEMALE AND MY TRUCK IS MY LIFELINE. I DO NOT HAVE THE $7,000.00 THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY TO FIX THE TRUCK I JUST BOUGHT (STILL DOESN'T HAVE PLATES ON IT YET) AND PAID $10,000.00 FOR. I BOUGHT IT FROM BENNY BOYD IN MARBLE FALLS, TEXAS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FILL FUEL TANK THE ENGINE STARTS STALLING FOR UP TO AND HOUR AFTER. IT NOW IF IT HAS MORE THAN A HALF OF A TANK, IT NOT ONLY STALLS, BUT PUSHES RAW GASOLINE OUT OF THE EVAP CANASTER. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD WITH CHRYSLER 300. IT IS MALFUNCTIONING SHUT OFF FLOAT THAT IS ALLOWING FUEL TO ENTER PURGE LINE. THE FLOAT IS PART OF THE FUEL TANK AND CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE $750.00 FUEL TANK. *TR
