UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE BOUGHT THIS PICKUP NEW FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN SAN JOSE ON CAPITAL EXPRESSWAY. THE PROBLEM, WHICH I BELIEVE CAN TURN DEADLY, IS THAT THE FUEL FILLER TUBE ON THE VEHICLE IS DROPPING BELOW THE ENTRY CAP. IT GETS PUSHED FURTHER DOWN EVERYTIME YOU FILL IT UP. SOMETIMES YOU CAN NOT GET THE GAS FILLER HOSE OUT OF THE TANK. IT ONCE TOOK THREE PEOPLE TO GET IT REMOVED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT TENDS TO LOOSEN THE NECK OF THE FILLER EVERY TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "YEAH, WE KNOW ABOUT THAT BUT THERE IS NO FIX" I WROTE TO FIAT AND THEY BLEW IT OFF. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE, YOU ARE MY LAST RESORT. I HAD A PICTURE BUT ITS TOO HARD TO SEE WHAT GOING ON, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S A HELP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHILE PUMPING IN GAS. YOU ARE REQUESTING A DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP.

STEERING
VEHICLE HAS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THE COMPUTER CONTROLLING THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED AT 92,000 MILES. PRETTY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE SIZE, WEIGHT & TIRES ON A BIG TRUCK LIKE THIS. I UNDERSTAND THAT AT 92,000 MILE THINGS FAIL BUT THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS STEERING IS DANGEROUS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID CAN'T HELP ME. IT HAPPENED WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLD HERE IN ATLANTA.

SUSPENSION
I LIVE IN INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINNESOTA AND OUR AREA RECENTLY SUSTAINED -30 BELOW FARENHEIT TEMPERATURES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. DURING THIS COLD WEATHER, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM QUIT WORKING AND I CURRENTLY HAVE NO SUSPENSION. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE AREA THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK WITH AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER MALE ON 1/2/18 THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2016 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVER HEADING DOWN HILL USED THE + AND - INDICATORS TO MANUALLY PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO 3RD GEAR. GOING APPROXIMATELY 60/70 MPH HEARD THE TRANSMISSION SLIP INTO 2ND GEAR AND THE RPM'S BEGAN TO INCREASE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE MANUAL BREAKING OF THE DRIVER. THE DRIVER TOOK THE NEXT EXIT PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL WHEN A TRANSMISSION SENSOR FLASHED. STILL WITH NO GAS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE DRIVER WHO WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK OFF THE EXIT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN TURNING BACK ON ENGINE CONTINUED THROTTLE AS IF IN FULL ACCELERATION. VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND TOWED TO VISTA AUTOGROUP IN SILVERTHORNE, CO. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FINDING A FAULTY ACCELERATION PEDAL SENSOR.

POWER TRAIN
TRUCK WONT GO INTO REVERSE WHEN TURNING THE ROTARY DIAL. THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. IF YOU TURN THE ROTARY DIAL TO THE THE R POSITION IT JUST SITS THERE LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. IN ORDER TO GET IT TO GO INTO REVERSE, YOU HAVE TO TURN THE DIAL BACK TO P, THEN TURN THE DIAL TO D AND THEN TURN IT BACK TO R. THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF YOU ARE ON AN INCLINE AND TURN IT TO R IT WILL ROLL FORWARD AND NOT GO INTO REVERSE.

I TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY DID AN INSPECTION ON THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE PINION NUT LOOSE AND LEAKING OIL. THEY SAID IT WAS SAFETY RECALL P77 AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. I LOOKED UP P77 RECALL AND IT DID NOT INCLUDE 2015 TRUCKS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MAN OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MULTIPLE TIMES NOW MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO START. AFTER JUMPING THE VEHICLE, IT WILL STAY RUNNING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT THERE FOR 3 DAYS. (PALMEN MOTORS KENOSHA, WI) THERE WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IN THE PROCESS, THEY CHARGED THE BATTERY. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, THE BATTERY WAS BACK DEAD AND THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE JUMPED TO START. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. (30,000 MILES)

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WE BOUGHT A 2017 RAM 1500 ON APRIL 29, 2017. ON DEC 20, 2017, WE TOOK OUR TRUCK TO CARMAN DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT WE NEEDED A WHOLE NEW WIPER UNIT (WIPER ASSEMBLY UNIT). THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY. WE HAD THE TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 8 MONTHS. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS PIECE OF STEEL WOULD BREAK AND NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS "BROKEN" AND IT'S NOT A DEFECT. AFTER SPENDING AN HOUR ON THE PHONE WITH CHRYSLER, THEY STILL REFUSE TO COVER THIS. I HAD TO PAY $390 FOR THIS NEW PART/INSTALLATION. IT'S BEYOND ME HOW THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A DEFECT AND WHY THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY.
