THIS IS A RECALL #P77/NHTSA 14V-796 I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO HURLEY CHRYSLER, 2173 S. WOODLAND DR, DELAND, FLORIDA 32720 - PHONE NUMBER 1-386-736-3000. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN FOR THE RECALL. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH AND NOTHING FROM THEM. THEY WERE KIND OF NONCHALANT ABOUT IT; LIKE I WAS BOTHERING THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO IT. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I WILL BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND THE RPMS WILL DROP TOO LOW (EVEN WHEN GIVING THE TRUCK GAS) AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED GOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, DURING TURNS, AND ALSO WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE DOES RESTART IMMEDIATELY, THOUGH WHEN I AM DRIVING I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART IT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAD THE FUEL INTAKE CLEANED THINKING THAT MIGHT BE THE ISSUE. *TR

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE WHICH IS NOT DATED AND CALLED BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND WILL CONTACT US WHEN THEY DO. THIS RECALL CAN CAUSE INJURY AND/OR DEATH AND I AM EXPECTED TO DRIVE AND IT, IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL TO CHRYSLER DODGE. THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE MONEY AND NEW VEHICLES BUT ALLOW THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE UNSAFE VEHICLES. THERE WAS NOT AN ESTIMATED FOLLOW UP GIVEN TO US ON THIS PROBLEM. BEFORE A RECALL IS EVEN DONE THERE ARE INJURIES OR DEATH WHICH START THIS PROCESS AND WE FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN. IS THIS LEGAL OR EVEN MORAL? IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY I FEEL CHRYSLER AND OR YOUR DEPARTMENT SHOULD BE 100% LIABLE. I EXPECT A RESPONSE IMMEDIATELY DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS MATTER. I WILL ALSO FOLLOW UP. THANK YOU, SEE CONTACT INFORMATION BELOW. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING FROM DETROIT AIRPORT EAST ON HIGHWAY 94 WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE LIKE HELL AND I THOUGHT I HAD TWO FLAT TIRES IN THE FRONT. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK BECOME UN STEERABLE AND STARTED TO TURN SIDEWAYS WITH TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC COMING AT ME. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY RIDE. I PULLED OVER AFTER I DOWNSHIFTED AND THE SHAKING STOPPED BUT THERE WAS NOTHING FLAT OR LOOSE THAT I COULD SEE SEVERAL OTHER DRIVERS STOPPED TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I CALLED A LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I MOST HAVE BAD BRAKE ROTORS. I HAVE CHANGED THE ROTORS ON ALL 4 WHEELS THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS THE SHOCKS THE FRONT STABILIZER SHOCK AND NEW BRAKE PADS ON ALL 4 WHEELS STILL SHAKES JUST AS BAD .I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS AND I WANT A FIX OR I WILL BUY A NEW FORD TRUCK. THE BAD PART OF THIS, IS THAT I RETIRED AFTER 44YEARS WITH CHRYSLER. *TR

2 LARGE CRACKS IN DASH, IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL AND PASSENGER SIDE, I HAVE BIG CONCERN THAT IN AN ACCIDENT WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DASH DISINTEGRATION WILL OCCUR, RESULTING IN INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. VARIOUS REPORTS ONLINE WHERE DODGE IS NOT WARRANTING DASHBOARDS AND DEALERS ARE NOT DOING AIRBAG RECALL WORK BECAUSE DASHBOARDS ARE FALLING APART DURING WORK. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK, BLOWER EMITS AIR (COLD) BUT ONLY TO FLOOR. LOUD POPPING NOISE FROM AIR BOX, FOUND ACTUATORS WERE MALFUNCTIONING. NEARLY CAUSED COLLISION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR RECALL STATUS AND THEY CLAIMED TRUCK WAS UNDER THIS RECALL, HOWEVER TRUCK HAD BEEN INSPECTED AND FOUND TO HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH REGARDS TO AIR BOX ACTUATORS. I SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND OUT FROM A NAMELESS DODGE TECHNICIAN THAT THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO ENGAGE AIR SYSTEMS FOR THE INSPECTION AND IF NO APPARENT MALFUNCTION IS FOUND THEY WERE TO PASS THE RECALL AND WRITE IT OFF. I AM OUTRAGED THAT YET ANOTHER CORPORATE ENTITY IS PREYING ON AMERICAN CONSUMERS AND GETTING BY WITH IT, WHILE CLAIMING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND IT'S ENGINEERING. I ASKED CHRYSLER WHAT REPAIR WAS NEEDED. THEY REPLIED" AIR BOX CIRCULATION DOORS BAD. WOULD NEED BOX REMOVED AND REPLACE 5 ACTUATORS AND DOORS. COST WOULD BE $800 TO $1000 DOLLARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE 3/4 OF THE YEAR. I NOW HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY DODGE OF ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY TRUCK REGARDING THE AXLE PINION NUT. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL WILL RECEIVE THE SAME ATTENTION THEY GAVE TO MY AIR BOX ISSUE AND THEREFORE AM ATTEMPTING TO TAKE ACTION WITH THIS COMPLAINT. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE THESE CORPORATE PENNY PINCHING SOBS STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR POOR ENGINEERING!!!! *TR
