MY DASH IS FALLING APART. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE BROKEN PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH WILL FLY AROUND PUTTING OUT AN EYE OR IMPALING SOMEONE. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE SAID THAT IT IS COSMETIC, I DISAGREE. IF IT WERE ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE NO CONCERN. THE PROBLEM IS, IT'S INSIDE WHERE PEOPLE RIDE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES FROM THE BROKEN DASH TO GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, SO BE IT. GENERAL MOTORS FOUND OUT ABOUT PROCRASTINATING ON KNOWN PROBLEMS.

ON AUGUST 29, 2016 I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE TRUCK ON A HIGHWAY WHEN MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE SUFFERED A COMPLETE TREAD SEPARATION. IT SEEMED TO JUST EXPLODE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, BUT A DAMAGE REPORT WAS FILLED OUT BY THE HIGHWAY PATROL. THIS WAS A MICHELIN LTX A/T2 TIRE WITH ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRES ARE 5 YEARS OLD.THESE TIRES ARE WARRANTIED FOR 60,000 MILES OR 6 YEARS. AFTER 20,000 MILES I HAD ONE OF THE TIRES REPLACED BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT SEPARATE, BUT THE OTHERS SEEMED ALRIGHT AT THAT TIME. I HAVE PROBABLY $2000 OR MORE WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. IT KNOCKED THE HEADLIGHT OUT, RIPPED OFF THE RUNNING BOARD, TORE OUT THE INNER FENDER, BENT THE FENDER AND PUT A DENT IN THE BOTTOM OF MY DOOR. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT MICHELIN, BUT WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.

TRAVELING IN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD AT 30 MPH AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD WHICH CAUSED UNCONTROLLABLE VIOLENT FEEDBACK FROM STEERING WHEEL AND FORCED MY VEHICLE INTO THE MEDIAN. I PURCHASED NEW SHOCKS AND DUAL STEERING STABILIZER TO POSSIBLY REMEDY THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I DROPPED VEHICLE AT GALEANA DODGE OF FT MYERS FLORIDA AFTER VIEWING MULTIPLE RECALLS PERTINENT TO MY SITUATION. THEY CALLED AND SAID THAT THE RECALL ONLY INCLUDES AN INSPECTION. EVEN AFTER MY EXPLANATION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE OVER 30 MPH BECAUSE OF REGULARLY OCCURRING "DEATH WOBBLE" I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO REGARDING THE MULTIPLE RECALLS. I FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE MANUFACTURER, THROUGH GALEANA DODGE, SHOULD REPLACE ALL THE FAULT PRONE STEERING COMPONENTS. THE DODGE RAM 2500 IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AWAITING MY PICKUP.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2004 DODGE 2500 PICKUP. THE RECALL IS DEALING WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. APPARENTLY THE AIRBAG INFLATOR "MAY RUPTURE AND RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". I CALLED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION NUMBER SO THAT I COULD BE PUT ONTO A LIST, SO THAT WHEN THE PARTS COME IN, I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TOO WORRIED, EXCEPT THE LAST TIME THEY SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE (MAY 2015) FOR THE DRIVERS AIRBAG, I STILL HAD NOT RECEIVED THE NOTICE THAT THE PARTS WERE IN. WHEN I CALLED, A PERSON SAID THAT SHE COULD SET UP THE FIRST RECALL REPAIR, BUT THE ARTS WEREN'T IN AND WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 2017. I SET UP THE APPOINTMENT. I AM PISSED OFF (NOT GOOD FOR ME). I HAVE HAD A VEHICLE WITH AIRBAG INFLATORS THAT "MAY RUPTURE AND RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH" AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T SEEM CONCERNED. AMERICA, WHEN DO WE STOP ACCEPTING MEDIOCRE FROM COMPANIES LIKE THIS? WHY IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? NHTSA, WHY IS THIS OKAY WITH YOU?

THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM HAS BROKEN, AS IF IT HAD BEEN CUT, DOWN THE MIDDLE. EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A FRIEND, I HAVE NEVER ABUSED THIS VEHICLE IN ANY FASHION. THE PERSON FROM WHOM I PURCHASED IT DID USE IT TO PULL A 5TH WHEEL RV. I WAS JSUT AMAZED BY THE WAY THE CONTROL ARM BROKE.

ON JUNE 8, 2016, MY VEHICLE /TRUCK WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE INDICATED DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL WORK. DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH ECU DUE TO BATTERY CHANGE, I REQUESTED A REFLASH OF THE ECU BE PERFORMED IN ORDER FOR VEHICLE TO PASS SMOG. I SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM DEALERSHIP STATING VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. UPON TAKING POSSESSION OF THE TRUCK I WAS ADVISED BY PHIL (SERVICE TECH) THAT REFLASH WAS PREFORMED AND ADDITIONAL UPDATES WERE PROGRAMMED INTO THE ECU. PRIOR TO LEAVING LOCATION, I WAS ADVISED THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED DURING THE ECU REFLASH. ON JUNE 11, 2016, I BEGAN DRIVING THE TRUCK PER IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERAL MOTORS "DRIVE CYCLE" PROCEDURES. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES INTO DRIVING VEHICLE, THE HEATING ELEMENT WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN THE DASH WHILE THE SEAT BELT CHIME SOUNDED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS WARNING LIGHT/SEAT BELT CHIME CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL CYCLES, EACH TIME THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATION LASTING SEVERAL MINUTES THEN GOING OFF ONLY TO SHOULD AGAIN MINUTES LATER. ON JUNE 21, 2016, I SPOKE TO PHIL (AUTONATION DODGE SERVICE TECH) WHO EXPLAINED NO WORK HAD BEEN DONE TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM SINCE JUNE, 16.

I CURRENTLY RETAIN VOICE MESSAGE FRO ADRIAN, ALL RECEIPTS/INVOICES, CELLPHONE VIDEO OF INDICATOR LIGHT/SEAT BELT ALARM SOUNDING, AS AS ALL CALL LOGS.

A FEW YEARS AGO THE DASH STARTED CRACKING. THE DASH IS MADE OF A HARD PLASTIC ABOUT 1/4" THICK. THE CRACKS GENERALLY RUN FROM FRONT TO BACK NOT SIDEWAYS. I KEPT THINKING IF I WAS TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT THOSE CRACKS AND SHARDS OF THICK PLASTIC WOULD SEVERLY CUT ME UP. LAST SUMMER I DUCT TAPED ALL THE CRACKS. JUST RECENTLY I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR AIR BAG RECALL, NOW THE DASH IS IN WORSE SHAPE. THEY TOLD ME AT THE DEALER (LITHIUM DODGE OF BRYAN, TEXAS) THAT DOING THE RECALL MORE CRACKING WOULD OCCUR. THEY SAID MOST DODGE TRUCKS HAVE THIS CRACKING DASH PROBLEM. MY OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS WHICH ARE MUCH OLDER DONT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I THINK DODGE SHOULD REPLACE THE DASH. I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THE RECALL IF I HAD KNOWN THEY WOULD MAKE THE DASH CRACKING MUCH WORSE.

I WAS DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, ON A BACK ROAD, GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. I HIT A BUMP, THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTED BOUNCING UNCONTROLLABLY. LIKE IT WAS HIT WITH A JACK HAMMER! I ENDED UP OFF THE ROAD! AS I GOT OUT AND WAS LOOKING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, A GUY STOPPED BEHIND ME. HE GOT OUT, AND SAID HE HAS THE SAME TRUCK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HE'S NEVER SEEN IT HAPPEN BEFORE, ONLY EXPERIENCED IT FIRST HAND. HE SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THE WHEELS WERE GOING DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS! I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG THO. THE LUG NUTS AND EVERYTHING WERE TIGHT.IT EVEN PASSED INSPECTION THIS MORNING! I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SAID TO START ONLINE HERE TO DOCUMENT THE COMPLAINTS.

THE LEAF SPRIMG ASSEMBLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE REAR BROKE AWAY FROM THE FRAME. BEING THAT I AM RETIRED AND THIS IS MY PERSONAL VEHICLE I DONT PUT TO MANY HEAVY LOADS ON IT. I DO HAVE A TRAVEL TRAILER AND A BOAT . I HAVE NEVER PULLED THEM TOGETHER NOR DO I USE THEM ALL THE TIME FROM OCCASSION I GO CAMPING. I DO FISH A MORETHAN I CAMP BUT THE WAIT OF EITHER IS RELITIVELY THE SAME. I HAD MY FAMILY WITH ME WHEN THE LEAF SPRING BROKE. I HAVE 5 TRUCKS, I HAVE DONE THE SAME THINGS WITH ALL OF THEM AND NEVER HAD A LEAF SPRING BRAK FROM THE VEHICLE. AS I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER HE TOLD ME HE HAS ONLY SEEN THIS ONCE IN HIS 20 YEARS OF WORKING ON TRUCKS. I DO BELIVE THAT THIS IS AN AREA OF CONCERN..

MY TRUCK HAS DEATH WOBBLE.

IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND THERE ISN'T A SURE FIRE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT MY TRUCK AND THEY ALL HAVE A DIFFERENT IDEA OF HOW TO FIX IT.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM WRITING TO RELATE MY EXPERIENCES IN ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALL SERVICE WORK, REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALLS, PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALLS ARE REFERRED TO AS P78 (DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG) AND R25 (PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG). OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS I HAVE TRIED ON MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES, TO ARRANGE THIS SERVICE RECALL WORK VIA DEALERSHIPS DIRECTLY AND WITH THE FCA US RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER - DURING WHICH BOTH THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE EXPRESSED THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA ON EITHER PART AVAILABILITY ETA OR WHEN THE SERVICE RECALL WORK COULD BE PERFORMED. INITIALLY I ATTEMPTED PERSONALLY CALLING DEALERSHIPS, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN SECURING AN APPOINTMENT DUE TO DEALERSHIPS EITHER NOT RESPONDING OR DEALERSHIPS HAVING NO IDEA ON PART AVAILABILITY OR WHEN RECALL SERVICE COULD BE MADE. I THEN ATTEMPTED CALLING THE FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES) RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WITH AN FCA REP, MYSELF AND A DEALERSHIP ALL ON THE SAME CALL, THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED PARTS AND APPOINTMENT. AFTER APPOINTMENT THE P78 RECALL FIX HAD NOT BEEN DONE - MARKED NO PARTS NO ETA. I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE AGAIN, AND AFTER ALMOST AN HOUR OF MYSELF AND THE FCA REP TOGETHER CALLING DEALERSHIPS, ALL THE DEALERSHIPS AGAIN EXPRESSED THEY HAD NO IDEA ON WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND NO IDEA WHEN THE SERVICE RECALL COULD BE PERFORMED. I APOLOGIZE IF THIS IS THE INCORRECT FORUM (WEBSITE SUGGESTED BY FCA) TO R
