SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT (LOW AND HIGH BEAMS) NOT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY.

THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OF A RECALL THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN TO REPLACE THE PARTS DEFECTIVE. SHE MADE ME AN APPOINTMENT TO RETURN AND HAVE IT DONE IN ABOUT A WEEK. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HER STATING THAT THE PARTS HAD NOT CAME IN. SHE HAD LAUGHED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET PARTS SHE HAD BEEN ORDERING. TOLD ME SHE WOULD CALL ME WHEN SHE GOT THEM IN. NEVER TELLING ME THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE RECALL. THAT IT WAS FATALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION FOR THE RECALL AND CALLED TO SEE WHAT WOULD BE DONE TO REMEDY IT. WAS GUARANTEED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT SINCE THEY COULD ONLY PUT ME IN ANOTHER VEHICLE IF THEY WERE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO KEEP IT OVERNIGHT. I HAD A WRECK THE FOLLOWING WEEK. LOST CONTROL COMING HOME EASTER. I AM 100% DISABLED AND HANDICAPPED FROM A DEBILITATING SPINAL DISEASE. I THOUGHT THE POWER STEERING WAS GOING OUT FROM A WRECK I HAD THE END OF DECEMBER. I HAD MY REPAIR WORK DONE AT THE SAME BODY SHOP. THEY ASSURED ME THE HOSES AND PUMP WERE REPLACED BUT IT DRIVES LIKE IT HAS NO POWER STEERING. KEEP IN MIND I'M A WIDOW TO AN ACTIVE DUTY HUSBAND I LOST. MOTHER OF 2. THE DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME SO I PUT MY TRUST INTO THEM. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT'S HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IT WILL NEVER BE RIGHT. I'M COMPLETELY DEVASTATED.

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE STARTINED REVVING VERY HIGH AND I HAD TO MAINTAIN MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE.TO NOT PLOW INTO TRAFFIC. I SWITCHED TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL AND PARK A FEW TIMES WHICH CAUSED LURCHING A LITTLE AS THE TRUCK WAS STILL REVVING HIGH AND I HAD TO KEEP BRAKE PRESSURE. I EVENTUALLY TURNED OFF MOTOR. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT DID SAME THING. TURNED OFF AGAIN AND IT WENT AWAY. DURING THIS TIME THE ENGINE INDICATOR WITH THE 'EXCLAMATION POINT' WAS LIT. I WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER WITH SAME SITUATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS TRYING TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN. THEY EVENTUALLY DECIDED IT WAS MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND REPLACED THAT (OF COURSE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). THIS SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED IT BUT WAS ABOUT $600 AND 2 WEEKS WITHOUT MY TRUCK. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE MOVING IT MAY HAVE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT CRASH.

STEERING WHEEL HARNESS.

VEHICLE WARRANTY FROM DODGE NOT HONORED DUE TO COMING FROM CANADA . YET AS I HAVE JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A RAM TRUCK FROM ROY ROBINSON CHEVROLET IN MARYSVILLE WA TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASED VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS PRESSED UNLESS PUMPED DODGE WOULD NOT COVER WARRENTY ON VEHICLE AND ROY ROBINSON PAID TO REPAIR MASTER CYLINDER. ITS BEEN 1 MOTH AND HALF AND FROM TIME TO TIME I STILL GET THE SENSATION OF NOT STOPPING UNLESS I PUMP BRAKE . NOW MASTER TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WONT GET OUT OF 5 THE GEAR . SO FOR A UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT NOW HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF BRAKES AND BEING 37500 MILES A NEWER VEHICLE WAS ALLOWED TO BE SOLD AT NEW VEHICLE PRICE. AND STILL DODGE CANNOT TELL ME WHY AFTER GOING THRU CUSTOMS AND DOT AND EPA . WHY THE WARRANTY CANT BE CONTINUED. IM SCARRED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT IM PAYING FOR WHEN IT IS UNSAFE WHAT ELSE WILL GO WRONG AND WHY ARE THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES ALLOWED IN USA.

MY TRUCK FUEL LIGHT CAME ON TRUCK SPUTTERED AND DIED IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. LUCKILY I WAS IN A GOOD SPOT TO PULL OVER AND STOP. I LIFTED THE HOOD AND COULD SMELL WIRES BURNING. I LIFTED THE FUSE BOX LID AND SEEN THE FUSES SMOKING SO I PULLED ONE FUSE THAT WAS THE STARTER SOLENOID FUSE.I WAS ON HIGHWAY WITH LOTS OF ROCK CUTS AND HILLS. TURNS OUT TO BE THE TIPM. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY .DEALERSHIP REPLACES IT FOR APP. 1400.00 AND IT STILL NEVER FIXED PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTICS . HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO END UP COSTING. I HAVE NO FUEL GAUGE, FRONT WINDOWS DON'T WORK , WIPERS WORK WHEN AND HOW THEY WANT, AIR CONDITIONING TURNS ON BY ITSELF, TEMPERATURE GAUGE SAYS ITS 56 DEGREES CELSIUS OUTSIDE. DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT THIS ONE. I THINK THIS COULD HAVE ENDED UP WORSE BUT I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY ON A TRUCK PULL OFF AT THE BOTTOM. I HAVE BOUGHT 5 NEW DODGE TRUCKS OVER THE YEARS AND HAD PLANNED TO BUY MORE TILL NOW. I HOPE I CAN GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK. TRADE IT IN REAL SOON.

CUSTOMER IS FRIGHTENED THAT HE WILL LOOSE HIS LIFE DRIVING HIS TRUCK DUE TO ADMINISTRATOR ROSEKIND'S TESTIMONY REGARDING TIRE SAFETY. THE CONSUMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT ADMINISTRATOR ROSEKIND INDICATED IN HIS TESTIMONY THAT THE RECALL SYSTEM IS BROKEN. CONSUMER WANTS THE SYSTEM FIXED FOR ALL AMERICANS. NHTSA HAS A DUTY AND OBLIGATION TO INVESTIGATE THE DEATHS DUE TO TIRE MALFUNCTIONS. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO BE REASSURED THAT THE RECALL SYSTEM IS CORRECTED AND AT THIS TIME IT IS NOT.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE THAT A STEERING WHEEL HARNESS COULD RUB AND DEPLOY THE AIRBAG AT ANY TIME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO HOLLYWOOD CHRYSLER HOLLYWOOD FL AND THEY REPAIRED AND RETURNED. WHEN I ARRIVED AND FOR THE PRECEDING MONTHS PRIOR MY "FUEL ECONOMY DISPLAY" INDICATED MY AVERAGE MILEAGE WAS 15.8 GALLONS PER MILE REASONABLY WITHIN THE SPECS FOR THIS VEHICLE. FOLLOWING THE WIRING HARNESS REPAIR THE DISPLAY NOW (AND FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS ) REPORTS 11.8 MPG. SOMEHOW THE REPAIR ALTERED THE FUEL USAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER CHECKED AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT MY MILEAGE HAS GONE FROM 15.8 TO 11.8. I'M NOT DRIVING DIFFERENTLY. I'M LOSING 30% OF MY GAS AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNDER ADVERTISED SPECS OF 14/20 MPG THERE IS AN ISSUE THEY DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS. CAN THE NHTSA CONTACT OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS REPAIR AND VERIFY? CAN YOU HELP? THANKS

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL; #R36/NHTSA 15V-459. I CALLED PETERSON'S STAMPEDE DODGE IN NAMPA, ID. I SPOKE TO JEN IN SERVICE 208-475-2955. I WAS TOLD THAT 1500 VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. I COULD BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST OF 229 CUSTOMERS, AND WOULD BE CALLED WHEN I COULD BRING THE TRUCK IN. NO ESTIMATED TIME FRAME COULD BE GIVEN. HOWEVER, IF I WANTED TO SCHEDULE AN OIL CHANGE, I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT, AND THE RECALL REPAIR COULD BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE DEALER OIL CHANGE (NORMALLY DO THIS MYSELF) JUST TO JUMP THE LIST FOR A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL. I ALSO DON'T THINK IT IS RIGHT FOR OTHERS TO JUMP AHEAD OF ME BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO HAVE THE DEALER CHANGE THEIR OIL. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LEGAL TO ME.

PURCHASE A BRAND NEW TRUCK IN 2012. TIRES INSTALLED ON TRUCK WERE FROM 2010. HAD TO REPLACE TIRES TO TO OLD AGE. TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND THE TIRES WERE ALREADY 5 YEARS OLD AND STARTED DRY ROTTING. DEALER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHER VEHICLES ARE OR WERE LIKE THIS. ITS A GOOD THING THEY DID NOT BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. INCLUDED IS MY RECEIPT WITH OLD AND NEW TIRES WITH DOT NUMBERS AND DATE CODES.

I HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN WITH CONTROLLING MY DODGE PICKUP. WHILE TOWING A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE, I HIT A BUMP ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE SWAYING OF THE TRAILER. BUT NOW BEING VERY SENSITIVE TO THE EVENT, 1) I'VE RECALLED THAT IT HAS HAPPENED PRIOR TO PULLING THE TRAILER AND 2) RECENTLY HAPPENED AGAIN; ALSO NOT TOWING A TRAILER. THE FEELING IS THOUGH ONCE THE BUMP IS IMPACTED, THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING ARM AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AN IMMEDIATE FEELING OF LOSS OF CONTROL. WHEN TOWING THE TRAILER, I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY ROUNDING A CURVE JUST APPROACH A BRIDGE/GUARD RAILS WHEN I HIT THE BUMP. FOLLOW-ON INCIDENT OCCURRED IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. WHILE THE SPEED WAS SLOWER ON THE CITY STREET, THE MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL FEELING WAS NOTICEABLE ENOUGH TO CATCH MY ATTENTION AND CAUSED CONCERN.
