STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE PASSENGER TRACK BAR MOUNT AND SHOCK MOUNT HAS FRACTURES IN THE WELDS TO THE AXLE HOUSING. THE SHOCK BRACKET UNDERNEATH WEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSENGER SHOCK BOLTS IN IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND THE BOTTOM OF THE SHOCK IS JUST FLOATING WITH NO STABILITY. THIS IS A FACTORY WELD AND THE 2013-2014S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT ARE THE ONLY ONES WITH AN OFFICIAL RECALL. IT'S BEEN REPORTED ON MANY PREVIOUS YEARS AND CHRYSLER/DODGE WILL NOT FIX IT. I AM UNABLE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE THE SHOCK BOLT AS IT IS BLOCKED BY THE TRACK BAR MOUNT, BUT I DID GET THE TRACK BAR MOUNT CLEARLY WITH THE MAJOR FRACTURES. THERE ARE MORE ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AXLE HOUSING. THIS CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF IT COMPLETELY FAILS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE / AS I WAS COMING DOWN ON RAMP TO I-205 AFTER LEAVING HANNAH DODGE AS SPEED REACHED 55 I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN PAVE AND TRUCK SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY I HAD TO HIT BRAKES AS VEHICLE PULLED LEFT THEN RIGHT TO SHOULDER WHERE I CAME TO A STOP. THIS FIRST HAPPENED AS I REACHED 164TH AND HWY. 14 AT 64 MPH AND HIT ASPHALT PATCH ON OVERPASS AND WAS STEERING TO THE LEFT LANE WHEN TRUCK STARTED SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY AND PULLING TO RIGHT AS I HIT BRAKES. LUCKILY ON BOTH OCCASIONS NO TRAFFIC WAS TO MY RIGHT OR BEHIND ME OR I'M SURE AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I PURCHASED 4 NEW VEE RUBBER TIRES ON 12/5/15. SINCE THE PURCHASE I HAVE PUT LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRES AND HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED TWO COMPLETE BLOWOUTS IN WHICH THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRES APPEARS TO HAVE DISINTEGRATED WHILE DRIVING. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR AT A SPEED OVER 45 MPH I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH MAY HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURY IF NOT DEATH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLES ENGINE TO STALL AT 75MPH ON FREEWAY. CONDITION RESULTED IN A "NO-START" SCENARIO. BECAUSE OF THIS FAILED TIPM, THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER HAS NO POWER, RESULTING IN AN INABILITY TO DIAGNOSE WITH OBDII SCAN TOOLS. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A POSSIBLY FATAL ACCIDENT, AS THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT 75MPH ON A MAJOR FREEWAY WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE LOST. THESE PARTS ARE PRONE TO FAILING, BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. AN AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE AT THE PRICE OF APPROX. $600, BUT THESE PARTS ARE SPECIAL ORDER, AND TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO RECEIVE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2007 DODGE 2500 TRUCK WITH A 5.9 DIESEL HAS EXPERIENCED, WHAT HAS BEEN WIDELY KNOWN AS, DEATH WOBBLE. I WOULD DESCRIBE THIS AS AN UNCONTROLLABLE LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP OR (MORE ESPECIALLY) AN UNEVEN CHANGE IN THE ROADWAY LIKE WHEN GOING OVER OVERPASSES OR BRIDGES. THIS IS PREVALENT ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH PLUS. MY TRUCK CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED. THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND STEERING SHAKES AND THE ONLY WAY TO STAY ALIVE IS TO BRAKE HEAVILY UNTIL IT STOPS, USUALLY AT 30 TO 40 MPH. THIS IS NOT SAFE IN ANY WAY, BUT ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK HAS HAD THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID OFF THE RECORD, "SORRY, WE KNOW IT HAPPENS, BUT WE HAVE NO SOLUTION." DEATH WOBBLE...EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT. NOT GONNA FIX IT. HHMMMMM.
