SWINGING KEYS IN IGNITION SHUT TRUCK OFF AT 60MPH, TROUBLE STEERING AND ALMOST PUT IT IN REVERSE AT SPEED WHILE SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL TO START ENGINE- SWERVED AND CAUSED HIGH SPEED SKID.

I WAS LEAVING WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED. I LEFT THE DRIVEWAY AND GOT ON THE ROAD AND ONCE I HIT ABOUT 35 OR SO MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SEIZE AND POPPED IN THE REAR. MY TRUCK THEN BEGAN TO BOUNCE IN THE BACK AND I HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I WAS VERY CONFUSED. I STARTED TO DRIVE AND TURN BACK TO THE STREET AND IT STARTED VIOLENTLY BOUNCING AGAIN SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO THEN HELPED ME FIGURE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WE TOOK IT APART AND FOUND CHUNKS OF METAL GEARS ALL OVER THE BOTTOM. I HAD TO HAVE IT REBUILT FOR $1800 TOTAL. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONFUSED AS TO HOW A REAR DIFF. COULD JUST GIVE OUT SO I LOOKED IT UP AND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR OR CLOSE TO IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD. SOME AT HIGHER, MORE DANGEROUS SPEEDS FOR SOMETHING THAT VITAL TO GIVE OUT. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN ABOUT THIS MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND HAVING THE SAME SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS PART THAT I HAD AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR IT. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED. THE TRUCK IS BARELY BROKEN IN AND I LOVE IT WHICH IS WHY I WAS HEARTBROKEN WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WANT A RECALL DONE TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHERS AND TO HELP THOSE THAT IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED TOO. I'M VERY UPSET THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I'M GLAD I WASN'T GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LIKE SOME OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I WANT THE W

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO SEIZE AND THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR KIT, THE SEAL DRIVE, THE PINION, THE SEAL AXLE, THE DRIVE SHAFT, AND THE CASE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,262. UPDATED 7/14/15*CN UPDATED 9/11/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V354000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I LIVE IN WISCONSIN WHERE WE EXPERIENCE EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES, AND WITH WINTER TEMPERATURES OFTEN BELOW ZERO, THE OCCUPANTS NEED TO BE WARM TO BE SAFE. THE SAFETY OF DRIVER AND FAMILIES DEPENDS ON THE PROPER WORKING ORDER OF HEATER IN THESE CONDITIONS. THE HEATER BLENDER DOOR IS APPARENTLY STUCK TO THE OPEN POSITION ALLOWING FRIDGE COLD OUTSIDE AIR TO BE BLOWN INTO THE CAB IN THE FOOT AREA. AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR TO OUR DESTINATION THE DRIVER AND THE OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT SEAT NO LONGER CAN FEEL THEIR FEET BECAUSE OF BEING SO COLD. "HOW CAN PROPER ACCELERATION AND BRAKING BE APPLIED WHEN THE OPERATORS FEET ARE FROZEN?". THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND A HEALTH HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE FROST BITE, BECAUSE THE COLD AIR CAN'T BE DIVERTED OR SHUT OFF. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN NUMEROUS MODELS AND YEARS OF DODGE VEHICLES. THE AVERAGE COST OF THE FIX IS 1000.00 TO 1500.00 BECAUSE THE DASH NEEDS TO BE PULLED OUT. I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH THIS ISSUE HAS GENERATED IN AUTO REPAIRS, DO TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. I EVEN SPOKE TO A PERSON WHILE WAITING AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS GETTING IT FIXED. THIS COSTLY/ COMMON REPAIR, IF NOT FIXED CAN EFFECT THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE OPERATORS GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. JUDGING BY THE COMMENTS ON-LINE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. THANKS *TR

I CONTACTED CHRYSLER 3 TIMES AND NO ONE WANTED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT ,THERES NO FRAME OR EXTERNAL DAMAGES CAUSED TO THE VEHICLE , THIS SHOULDN'T OF HAPPENED , I WAS DRIVING NORMAL AND THE AIRBAGS SHOT OUT OF NOWHERE BRUISING MY ARM AND AROUND MY COLLAR. I DRIVING THE CAR THE WAY IT IS WITH NO HORN , SEATBELTS LOCKED, AND BAGS EXPOSED. I HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING TO WORK SO IM FORCED TO DRIVE LIKE THIS , I NEED THIS TO BE ADRESSED BECAUSE THIS IS PUTTING ME AND WHO EVER SITS IN MY CAR IN DANGER BECAUSE CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE ACTION ,I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IF THIS IS SOMETHIMG THAT COMES DEFECTIVE FROM FACTORY. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT AND GAS CAP LIGHT KEEP COMING ON. REPLACED GAS CAP. LIGHT STILL COMING ON. INDEPENDENT GARAGE SAYS THERE IS AN AIR LEAK IN LINE. APPEARS TO BE A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH FUEL LINES ON THIS MODEL THAT LEAK BECAUSE THEY RUB ON HOUSING AND NOT INSTALL PROPER BY MANUFACTURER. LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT WILL BE 1,100 TO 1,400 TO FIX FUEL LINES. *TR

ARRIVED AT WORK AND PARKED VEHICLE A LITTLE AFTER 6:00AM. WENT ON MY BUS RUN AND AT ABOUT 7:45AM I RECEIVED A CALL TO RETURN TO THE TRANSPORTATION CENTER. WHEN I ARRIVED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS THERE ALONG WITH THE SHERIFFS, THAT'S WHEN I SAW MY TRUCK. AT THIS POINT THE FIRE WAS OUT AND MY TRUCKS ENGINE DEPARTMENT WAS TOTALLY GONE. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS LEFT WAS THE BLOCK. I INFORMED MY INSURANCE COMPANY WHO WAS VERY QUICK AND WHOM I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH. I ALSO MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO CHRYSLER CORP., TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS TOLD ME THEY WERE TAKING NOTES AND WOULD CALL ME BACK THE NEXT DAY OR SO AND NEVER HEARD FROM THEM. TODAY I TALKED TO SOMEONE IN THE LEGAL DEPT. AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WERE NOT LIABLE FOR ANYTHING. I AM VERY GLAD IT WAS NOT PARKED IN MY GARAGE AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE OR THAT I WAS DRIVING IT. I AM IN THE MARKET FOR ANOTHER TRUCK BUT HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT ANOTHER DODGE. I WAS LOOKING FOR A LITTLE REASSURANCE FROM CHRYSLER BUT AS YOU CAN SEE I RECEIVED VERY LITTLE TO NONE. *JS

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, GAS SHOOTS OUT THE TOP WHEN FULL. HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION. RECENTLY TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE AND A GASCAP WARNING LIGHT AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP SAID THE FUEL INLET VALVE WAS LEAKING AT A WELD SEAM. COST OF REPAIR IS $1240.00. WHEN THIS OCCURS ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GASOLINE SPEWS ONTO THE CEMENT WHICH AT TIMES IN PHOENIX REACHES 120 DEGREES.PLUS. NOT TO MENTION THIS COULD GET ON ME, IN MY EYES OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE VICINITY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES IN SIMILAR YEARS WITH THE SIMILAR ENGINE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE; SUCH AS THE 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 4.7L V-8 ENGINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MPH I LET OFF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED TO LUNGE FORWARD THEN STOP THEN CONTINUED TO LUNGE FORWARD IT REPEATED THIS PROCESS FOR A WHILE. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS IT WAS FINE ONLY WHEN I LET OFF IT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WENT TO AUTOZONE HAD THE CODE REED. THE MAP SENSOR WAS BAD SO I REPLACED IT MYSELF. A WEEK LATER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING, ONLY THIS TIME AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AS WELL AS THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED BUT IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WENT DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 1/2 A MILE WHEN HE DIED AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT. HAD IT TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE MAP SENSOR WAS ONCE AGAIN BAD. THEY REPLACED THE MAP SENSOR THIS TIME AND EVERYTHING WAS WELL FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. WHEN ONCE AGAIN THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN THE FAULT CODE WAS THE MAP SENSOR. UPON THEM DIGGING FURTHER THEY FOUND THE PCM WAS ACTUALLY SHORTING OUT THE MAP SENSOR. SO THEY REPLACED THE PCM. THE NEW ONE CAME IN AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPROGRAM IT. THEY CONTACTED DAIMLER-CHYRSLER WHO SENT THEM ANOTHER PCM THEY RECEIVED THAT ONE AND STILL ARE UNABLE TO REPROGRAM THE PCM. SO THAT'S 3 MAP SENSOR'S AND NOW 2 PCM'S. *TR

IGNITION TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING, KEYS WERE SWINGING AND SHUT OFF CAR. STEERING AND BRAKE LOSS, ALMOST CRASHED, HAD TO MOVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE ROLLING AND START UP, THEN SLAM INTO DRIVE WHILE MOVING TO AVOID CRASH ON INTERSTATE 880 THROUGH SAN JOSE

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED AND HIT JOINT IN ROAD, STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. A SEARCH OF THE WEB DESCRIBES WHAT IS CALLED A "DEATH WOBBLE." THIS VEHICLE HAS THIS CONDITION. EVERYTHING IN FRONT END CHECKS OUT FINE. STOCK TRUCK. THIS HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A WEEK. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE TRUCK. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM NIGHT SCHOOL ON A LOCAL, RURAL HIGHWAY, CROSS TRAFFIC HAS STOP SIGNS... I WAS NORTHBOUND AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 55MPH. A 2008 TOYOTA 4RUNNER WAS WAITING ON A CROSS STREET TO GO WESTBOUND, SAID CAR ABRUPTLY ATTEMPTED TO CROSS INFRONT OF ME. I MANAGED TO GET MY FOOT TO THE BRAKES THE INSTANT BEFORE IMPACT, ESTIMATED SPEED AT IMPACT WAS 50MPH. NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. MY TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I "T-BONED" THE 4RUNNER IN THE DRIVER DOOR, IT WAS SENT ROLLING, COMING TO A REST ON ITS DRIVER SIDE 25 FEET IN FRONT OF MY RAM 1500 ABOUT 60 FEET WEST OF THE ROADWAY. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY? WHY DIDN'T MY LAWYERS SUE CHRYSLER? I HAD A SEVERE CHEST CONTUSION FROM MY SEATBELT, STRAINED BACK, MY LEFT ARM WAS JAMMED FROM FINGER TIPS TO SHOULDER AND I HAD A FRACTURE AND STRAIN IN MY HAND/WRIST THAT REQUIRED WEEKS OF REHAB. ITS 3 1/2 YEARS LATER AND I STILL HAVE DAILY PAIN AND STIFFNESS. *TR

SAFETY RECALL NOTICE N62/ NHTSA 13V-528 - LEFT TIE ROD. AFTER GOING TO CHRYSLER FOR A REPLACEMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE 52 WEEKS BEFORE THE DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL RECEIVE THE PART FOR REPLACEMENT.

I NOTICED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ISSUED CASE NUMBER. VEHICLE IS AT DEALERSHIP SERVICE AT THIS POINT AND I AM WAITING FOR RESPONSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V528000 (STEERING) BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THE DEALER WAS ONLY RECEIVING ONE PART PER WEEK.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE TIME FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THIS IS A MEGACAB (SOLID FRONT AXLE) AND THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING SO BAD THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. ONLY REASON IT DID NOT CAUSE A CRASH WAS BECAUSE THE CARS NEXT TO ME WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY WAY FAST ENOUGH. I REPLACED THE TRACK BAR BUSHINGS, THE STEERING DAMPER, ALIGNED THE FRONT END AND INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET STEERING BOX BRACE. THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES AND I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT IS WAY TOO UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON PUBLIC ROADS. I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS NICK NAMED DODGE DEATH WOBBLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING HOME A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED HARD LEFT WHILE THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SLIDING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I CORRECTED THE WHEEL BUT IT WAS SO LOOSE THAT WE FISH TAILED THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIOLENTLY WHIPPING BACK AND FORTH AS I TRIED DESPERATELY TO GAIN CONTROL. FINALLY THE TRUCK STRAIGHTENED OUT AND SEEMED TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AFTER THE NEAR CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK AND IT STARTED SCREECHING LIKE DRAGGING METAL UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. I GOT OUT TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS DRAGGING FROM THE TRUCK, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I MADE IT HOME BUT IT WAS SCREECHING OFF AND ON. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I JACKED THE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND TO CHECK UNDER THE CAR I FOUND THAT THE WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND I SOON FOUND TWO RECALLS FOR MY TRUCK. THE FIRST RECALL WAS A FAULTY LEFT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY AND ANOTHER WAS AN UNRELIABLE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT PART OF ANY OF THE RECALLS. I VERIFIED THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON BOTH RECALL LISTS AND SHE AGREE WHILE EXPLAINING EVERY VEHICLE IN THAT PARTICULAR PRODUCTION WASN'T RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN EARLY JANUARY 2014, HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V528000 (STEERING ).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND HEARD AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING NOISE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS ALSO FLUID LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE CONTACT GEAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHEN AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS RUBBING AND KNOCKING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED FROM DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATED HEAVY. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POPPED DOWN TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN RAPID ACCELERATION AND SPEED GAIN. I STOMPED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND IT POPPED BACK UP ALLOWING ME TO REGAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. ONCE ON OPEN ROAD I PUSHED ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO FLOOR AND IT STUCK AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN IT POPPED UP WHEN I TAPPED IT WITH MY FOOT. AFTER THAT I MADE SURE I DID NOT GO TO THE FLOOR AGAIN UNTIL THE OTHER DAY. I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC UPHILL WHEN A CAR SEEMED TO BE COMING A LITTLE FAST CAUSED ME TO ACCELERATE TO NEAR FLOOR. AT THAT POINT THE ACCELERATOR POPPED DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT WOULD NOT POP BACK UP WHEN I TAPPED IT WITH MY FOOT. IT RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO CROSS INTO THE ONCOMING LANE TO AVOID RAMMING INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHICH WAS TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT. MY HEMI REACHED 80+ M.P.H. IN A SHORT DISTANCE IN A 45 M.P.H. ZONE. I FINALLY FORCED THE PEDAL UP WITH MY TOE UNDER IT. THIS SCARED ME ENOUGH TO INVESTIGATE AND CALL CHRYSLER. THEY FIRST SAID THE FLOOR MAT WAS THE CAUSE. I CONTINUED TO PERSUADE THEM AND THEY NOW ARE OPENING AN INVESTIGATIVE CASE. IN THE MEANTIME I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT CAREFULLY. IT IS MY SELF-EMPLOYED WORK TRUCK TOO, AND WHEN IT SITS I DO NOT GET PAID. I TRIED PLACING IN PARK AND PUSHING TO FLOOR WITHOUT FLOOR MAT, AND PEDAL STILL POPS DOWN AND STICKS FULL THROTTLE. FOUND CASES ON INTERNET OF DEATHS RELATED TO THIS AND YOUTUBE V

PLEASE SEE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE08059. THIS ACTION DID NOT INCLUDE ENOUGH OF THE VEHICLE POPULATION!! THE MODEL YEAR 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 VEHICLES ARE ALSO IMPACTED BY THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THE 2006 MODEL WHICH IS LISTED ON ACTION PE08059. MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS VERIFY THAT THE VEHICLE POPULATION IS GREATER THAN JUST 2006 MODELS. CHRYSLER MUST IMPLEMENT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON 2007 VEHICLES AS WELL. WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED, THE VEHICLE SIGNALS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. THE PROBLEM RESULTS IN NEAR CRASH AS OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO TURN OUT OF THEIR PATH BUT REALLY INTEND ON TURNING INTO THEIR PATH. *TR

WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED TO THE TOP, FUEL LEAKS OUT OF THE TOP OF THE TANK. TRUCK ALWAYS SMELLS LIKE GAS BUT ONLY LEAKS WHEN FILLED PAST 25 GALLONS (30 GALLON TANK) I JUST PURCHASED THE TRUCK USED BUT HAVE SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON THE INTERSTATE 64 IN RICHMOND VA, I EXPERIENCED THE SO CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" AFTER GOING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. IT STOPPED ONCE THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO APPROX. 45 MPH.
