THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND EVERYTIME WE HAVE TRIED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER WE ARE TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET. THIS TRUCK IS A RESPONSE/COMMAND VEHICLE FOR OUR FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT AND IS DRIVEN BY THE FIRE CHIEF. HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO WAIT. CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT US AGAIN BY MAIL, WITH A FOLLOW-UP RECALL NOTICE, WHEN THE REMEDY PART IS AVAILABLE. WILL IT EVER BE READY? RECALL # P65 / NHTSA 14V - 635. *TR

TRUCK KEEPS STALLING IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. THE TRUCK WILL ONLY RUN GOOD IF ITS IN NEUTRAL. THE RPMS JUST DROP SUDDENLY, BUT THE TRUCK IS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. TRUCK ALSO HAS HAD THROTTLE BODY REPLACED ALONG WITH O2 SENSORS. THE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD FLASH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2001 DODGE RAM IN 2006 WITH JUST A SMALL CRACK OR TWO IN THE DASH. BY 2008 THE SMALL CRACKS TURNED INTO LARGE CRACKS AND THEN THE FIRST PART OVER THE RADIO AREA AS SHOWN IN PICTURE FELL IN! AT THE TIME I HAD PLACED SOME ITEMS ON THE DASH AND HAD THOUGHT THAT CAUSED IT BUT WHEN I STARTED TO CLEAN IT UP MORE STARTED TO JUST BREAK OFF SO I DIDN'T MESS WITH IT AGAIN! I CONTACTED BARRETT DODGE IN ATHENS GA A WEEK LATER AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPORTMENT. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALLS AND TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO OTHER THAN CHARGE ME A CRAZY PRICE TO REPLACE IT FOR MY AND THEN IF A RECALL EVER DID HAPPEN THEY SAID I WOULD PROBABLY GET BACK AT LEAST HALF OF MY REPAIR COST! THAT STILL MEANT I WOULD HAVE PAID HUNDREDS FOR THE REPAIR SO I DIDN'T DO IT. THE MAIN REASON IM LOOKING INTO THIS AGAIN NOW IN 2015 IS BECAUSE YESTERDAY MY 8 YEAR OLD SON WAS PLAYING IN THE TRUCK WHILE I WAS WORKING ON IT AND HE WENT TO GET A TOY OFF THE DASH AND HIS ARM WENT THROUGH THE DASH AND CUT HIM LEAVING ABOUT A 1 INCH LONG CUT IN HIS ARM! THIS IS NOW WHY IM NOW 7 YEARS LATER SURPRISED THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT DODGE HAS NOT STEPPED UP NOR HAVE THEY BEEN MADE TO STEP UP AND HELP FIX THIS ISSUE! DOES SOMEBODY'S CHILD HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR GOD FORBID DIE FROM A INJURY CAUSED BY THE SHAPE PIECES OF THIS DASH BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS! IM NOW LOOKING INTO GETTING THIS DASH REPAIRED MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY! I REALLY HAVE NOT BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE COSMETIC LOOK THAT DODGE HAS BEEN HIDING BEHIND FOR THEIR REASON TO NOT FIX THIS ISSUE! BUT I WILL BE DAMMED IF IM GOING TO LET THIS POORLY DESIGNED DODGE DASH HURT MY FAMILY AGAIN! *TR

CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL P65/NHTSA 14V-635 I WAS SENT THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN DECEMBER OF 2014. AS OF APRIL 2015, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. 5 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT OUT, AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS CRITICAL SAFETY RECALL, WHICH IF NOT FIXED, COULD CAUSE AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A DATE AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER IS NOT ACTING IN GOOD FAITH TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

AIRBAG RECALL PROBLEM: I CONTACTED MY DODGE DEALERSHIP ON 2/23/15, AS INSTRUCTED BY A LETTER THAT I RECEIVED FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC, IN REFERENCE TO AN AIRBAG RECALL. THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART(S) AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME, AND THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK IN APPROXIMATELY 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS WHEN THEY EXPECTED TO HAVE THE PARTS AND WOULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME AT THAT TIME. THEY DID NOT CALL BACK. I CALLED THE FCA US RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER ON 3/17/15. THEY APOLOGIZED THAT MY CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOT BEEN RETURNED AND INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE ACTUALLY 2 AIRBAG RECALLS; HOWEVER, THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE, AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK WHEN THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. IT'S GOING ON 2 MONTHS SINCE MY 1ST PHONE CALL TO CHRYSLER, AND I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED A PHONE CALL IN REFERENCE TO THE STATUS OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS! *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKING - VEHICLE IS ALWAYS COVERED OR GARAGED OR UNDER A COVERED PARKING SPOT. DASH STARTED CRACKING AROUND MAY 2010 WHILE LIVING IN OKLAHOMA AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. PIECES HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN INTO THE VENTS, AND WHEN THE DEFROST IS TURNED ON OR WHEN THE AC IS TURNED ON, SMALL TO MEDIUM PIECES FLY OUT AND CAN HIT SOMEONE, MYSELF OR FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IN THE EYE. AND IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED, PIECES COULD BREAK OFF AND DO MORE INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. I HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE FOREHEAD WITH PIECES ALREADY. *TR

I HAD JUST MERGED ONTO A FREEWAY ON-RAMP WHEN,, W/O WARNING, THE TRUCK SHIMMIED AND SOUNDED A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH SENT IT SPINNING TOWARD THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. I HAD JUST COME OVER THE MOUNTAIN PASSES AND WAS LUCKY TO HAVE NOT HAD IT HAPPEN THERE. UPON GETTING OUT AND INSPECTING THE VEHICLE IT WAS OBVIOUS WHAT HAD HAPPENED: THE REAR SECTION OF DRIVE SHAFT WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND AND HAD DISCONNECTED ABRUPTLY FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I'VE HEARD THIS IS FAR FROM THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE14019) AND HENCE FEEL THE NEED TO ADD TO THE CATALOG OF REPORTS. *TR

AT THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY OF 2015 I RECEIVED AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" LETTER WITH A P78 NOTIFICATION CODE. I HAVE CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED EACH TIME THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPAIR THE RECALL ISSUE. SO I DRIVE AROUND IN AN UNSAFE TRUCK??? CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AND WAS INFORMED THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR ARRIVAL OF PARTS REQUIRED TO MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE!! OTHER ISSUE IS THAT SAME VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD SPLINTERED AND FELL APART, FORCING ME TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I SENT CHRYSLER A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD (DID NOT CHARGE FOR LABOR, JUST DASHBOARD), IN THE AMOUNT OF $295.68 -- AND THEY REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT!!! IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT THESE DASHBOARDS FALL APART -- YET THEY REFUSE TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY, SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. A DASHBOARD THAT SPLINTERS AND CRACKS, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE??? I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THE DASHBOARD FALLS APART BECAUSE OF "ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES" (I.E. HUMIDITY, AIR). JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW POORLY MADE THESE DASHBOARDS ARE!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR
