I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE N08/NHTSA 13V-038, REAR AXLE PINION NUT NOTICE ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS AGO. I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS, SO I CALLED THE NUMBER GIVEN, 1-800-853-1403, TO ASK IF ANYTHING WAS BEING DONE ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD TO WAIT AND I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE TO GET THE TRUCK REPAIRED. IT HAS BEEN AT LEAST 2 MONTHS SINCE THEN, AND I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO TAKE MY TRUCK ANY DISTANCE, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS, BECAUSE THE RECALL SAID IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK ON DRIVER SIDE FAILED TO ENGAGE AT 15 MPH. THE PASSENGER SIDE DID ENGAGE. MANUALLY LOCKING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR RESULTED IN FAILURE TO UNLOCK WHEN VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCK DID SUCCESSFULLY UNLOCK. THE DOOR MOUNTED LOCKING BUTTON FAILED TO LOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BUT DID LOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR. WHEN MANUALLY LOCKED, THE DOOR MOUNTED LOCKING BUTTON FAILED TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCK WILL NOT OPERATE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK. DEALER SERVICE DEPT. SAYS THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND I MUST PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY TRUCK THAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED, IT WAS ALREADY NOT WORKING. THERE IS A KNOCKING UP UNDER THE DASHBOARD, AIR/HEAT ONLY COMES OUT VENTS IN DASH AND DEFROST, IT WILL NOT BLOW OUT OF OTHER VENTS SUCH AS FLOOR, ETC.. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO GET THE RECALL AND PROBLEM FIXED. OBVIOUSLY MY TRUCK WAS ALREADY FAULTY DUE TO THE RECALL ISSUE. WHEN I PICKED UP MY TRUCK, IT WAS STILL "KNOCKING" AND THE AIR/HEAT WAS NOT BLOWING OUT OF ALL VENTS. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS NOT FIXED AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY FIXED ONLY WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO AND I WOULD HAVE TO "PAY" TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED! THE PROBLEM OCCURRED "AS A RESULT" OF THE RECALL, AND I FEEL IT IS THERE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. THEN IN JULY 2013, I CALLED THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE A NEW RECALL FIXED (REAR AXLE PINION NUT-NHTSA 13V-038). THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND NEEDED TO ORDER IT AND TOLD ME THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN IT ARRIVED. TODAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2013, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS DEALERSHIP TO FIX MY REAR AXLE PINION NUT. I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE ONLY TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THIS DEALERSHIP IS TO FIX RECALLS AND THEY STILL FIND WAYS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME. FOR ALL OTHER NEEDS OF MY TRUCK I GO ELSEWHERE! JUST NEED SOME DIRECTION ON THE PINION NUT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED BEFORE IT STOPS WORKING AND RESULTS IN A CRASH. I

IN SPRING 2013 MY DODGE RAM TRUCK FAILED TO START. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A FAULTY SENSOR AND CHARGED OVER $600 FOR THE REPAIR. IN SEPTEMBER 2013 THE EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED. I WAS TRAVELLING AND WHEN I RETURNED TO MY TRUCK IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES I WAS ABLE TO GET MY TRUCK TO START. WHILE DRIVING IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS FLASHING AND ACTING VERY ERRATIC. THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN TOLD TO ME I HAD A FAULTY STARTER. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS "REPAIRED" THE DEALER LEFT JUST ABOUT EVERY NOTICE ON MY DASH FLASHING STATING THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT (UNLESS I WANTED TO PAY THEM MORE MONEY). WHILE IN THE WAITING ROOM I CHATTED WITH AT LEAST ONE OTHER CUSTOMER WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DODGE RAM TRUCKS ARE SIMPLY NOT STARTING BECAUSE OF A SENSOR AND THE DEALERS ARE MAKING A FORTUNE OFF THE CUSTOMERS. THIS SENSOR IS "FAULTY" AND DODGE NEEDS TO BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT OWNERS OF THE DODGE RAM ARE LEFT STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS.... *TR

HE DROVE IT HOME, AND ALL SEEMED TO BE WELL; BUT, IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS, T HE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ON. THE TRANSMISSION INCIDENT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT AN UNKNOWN PART BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BECOME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REATTACHED. ADDITIONALLY, THE RING GEAR AND BEARINGS WOULD ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, HE HAD RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V038000 (POWER TRAIN).

THE TPMS VALVE CORE HAS CORRODED AND CRACKED CAUSING A SLOW LOSS IN TIRE PRESSURE. THIS CONDITION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE RAPID TIRE DEFLATION AND CREATES THE SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF INJURY SHOULD THE TIRE AIR VALVE FAIL. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED A DESIGN CHANGE AS THEY KNOW THE AIR VALVES ARE DEFECTIVE. THE REPLACEMENT IS $75 OUT OF POCKET PER TIRE AT MY LOCAL SHOP. THE SERVICE MANAGER AND SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS ARE PLAGUED WITH COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS CONDITION WHICH AFFECTS A LARGE PORTION OF VEHICLES PRODUCED BY CHRYSLER. A LARGE OIL AND GAS COMPANY (EQT) HAS ORDERED ALL EMPLOYEES OPERATING AFFECTED VEHICLES TO HAVE THE AIR VALVES CHANGED REGARDLESS OF CONDITION. I, IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHERS WHOM I PERSONALLY KNOW WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECT FEEL THAT THE ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT POSSES THE RISK OF SERIOUS POTENTIAL INJURY SHOULD THE AIR VALVE FAIL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND ACTIVATED THE DEFROSTER SYSTEM HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT AWARE OF THE EXACT REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 11/13/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE BATTERY DRAINED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM, SO THEY RESET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SAID IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE FIXED.

RECALL N08/NHTSA 13V-038 'REAR AXLE PINION NUT' WAS ISSUED ABOUT APRIL, SAYING "A LOOSE PINION NUT COULD CAUSE THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE AND A SEPARATED DRIVESHAFT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. EITHER SITUATION COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING? I'VE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THE PART NEEDED IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME. I NEED MY VEHICLE, BUT AM SOMEWHAT AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT SEEMS LIKE AN EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO PROCURE THE PART IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. *JS

OUR 2009 DODGE RAM 1500 IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THE VEHICLE STARTS INTERMITTENTLY AND WILL/COULD STOP RUNNING/SHUTDOWN AT ANY TIME. WE HAVE HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS PARTICULAR PART IS ABOUT $650-800 TO REPLACE PLUS LABOR. THE ISSUE NOT ONLY COULD BE DANGEROUS IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START BUT IF IT DIES WHILE OPERATING. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT ONLY A LARGE ISSUE IN DODGE RAM, BUT ALSO IN NUMEROUS OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. SOME HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES SUCH AS WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE HORN BLOWING, LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. EVEN AFTER REMOVING THE KEY AND SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE, THE ISSUES WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE WIPERS CAN AND HAVE DECIDED TO NOT WORK, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A REAL HAZARD WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY, AS DOES THE AIR BAG LIGHT. NOT KNOWING IF THE AIR BAG WILL EVEN FUNCTION IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS AN ENORMOUS BACKORDER ON THE TIPM DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF VEHICLES REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD "UNOFFICIALLY" BY A SERVICE REP THAT THE REASON FOR THE BACKLOG IS ALSO DUE TO CHRYSLER CHANGING THE MANUFACTURER AND IN TURN, INCREASING THE PRICE OF THE PART. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF CHRYSLER, NOT THE OWNER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE MORE THAN APPRECIATED. *JS
