POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

AIR BAGS
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
