I RECEIVED THE RECALL FOR THE FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEMS AND TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER. I BELIEVE IT WAS RECALL N64. DEALER REFUSED TO FIX TRUCK AS IT IS LIFTED AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DID IT, SAID IT DID NOT NEED NEW PARTS AS PARTS WERE REPLACED WHEN THEY LIFTED IT. WELL, IT DEATH WOBBLES IF YOU GO OVER 40 MPH AND WAS DOING IT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THEM. CANNOT USE FREEWAY, SURFACE STREETS ONLY WITH AFFECTS MILEAGE, IT MIGHT GET 8-9 MPG IF I AM LUCKY. THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS BUCKING. IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED TO STOP IT FROM SHAKING. THE FRONT TIRES ARE BEING EATEN FROM THE VIOLENT SHAKE. IN FACT IT DID IT ON A SURFACE STREET THE OTHER DAY. THE ROAD HAD BEEN REPAIRED AND AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO AVOID IT, I RAN OVER THE PATCH. IT DID IT AGAIN. A LADY BEHIND ME STOPPED TO SEE IF I WAS OK.

MAY 2018, PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND LEFT IT RUNNING TO GO IN TO GET SOMETHING. WE WERE IN AN RV PARK AT THE TIME. A MINUTE OR SO LATER, IT WENT IN REVERSE AND BACKED INTO A TRAILER CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH. GEARSHIFT SHOWEDIT WAS STILL IN 'P'. ALARM HAS SINCE BEEN PUT IN UNDER RECALL E17 AFTER WE REQUESTED IT. (HAD ASKED WHEN AIR BAGS WERE CHANGED OUT IN DECEMBER 2017, IF ANY OTHER RECALLS, AND WERE TOLD NO). A DODGE REP CAME ON JUNE 12, 2018 AND LOOKED AT THE TRUCK. AS OF 12/10/2018, WE HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF RESULTS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (LARRY H MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP AVONDALE, 10055 W PAPAGO FWY, AVONDALE, AZ 85323, (480) 865-3981) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY GASOLINE STARTED SPEWING UNDER PRESSURE FROM TOP OF FUEL PUMP, PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AWAY FROM OTHER VEHICLES AND WAITED FIVE TO TEN MINUTES BEFORE GASOLINE STOPPED SPRAYING OUT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME WHERE I COULD CHECK TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS ONLY A RUBBER HOSE AS I EXPECTED OR SOMETHING ELSE. I FOUND OUT IT WAS A FITTING AT TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH LOOKS LIKE METAL CONNECTOR WHERE THE GASOLINE WAS SPRAYING OUT OF A PIN HOLE, I LOST ABOUT 5 GALLONS OF GAS IN 14 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING.

VEHICLE JUST CAME OFF THE EXPRESSWAY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT STEERING BALL JOINT BROKE AS VEHICLE WAS BEING PARKED, THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED BY DODGE UNDER RECALL. THEY DID NOT WANT TO EXCEPT LIABILITY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE THEY REPLACED UNDER RECALL IS SHOWING A LOT OF PLAY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

WHEN I HIT A BUMP POT HOLE OR ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD MY VEHICLE GET S THE DREADED DEATH WOBBLE AND I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY REDUCE MY SPEED TO AROUND 30 MILES PER HOUR AND I'M AFRAI ITS GOING TO BREAK SOMETHING IN MY STEERING AND CAUSE A CRASH OR I'M GOING TO GET REAR ENDED WHICH HAS ALMOST HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME BECAUSE OF OTHER DRIVERS FOLLOWING TO CLOSE

ALL LIGHTS (HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, ETC.) COME ON WHILE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND TURN OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. ALSO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS RUN ALL THE TIME AND CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF. DRAINS BATTERY WHILE NOT RUNNING, THEN WILL NOT START. FACTORY TRAINED MECHANIC SAYS IT IS A "BAD TIPM" (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE), AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT ORDER A NEW TIPM AS DODGE DOES NOT MAKE THESE ANYMORE (VEHICLE IS 12 YEARS OLD). MY VEHICLE IS PRACTICALLY USELESS AND NOW VALUELESS, AS I CAN NOT GET NEEDED PARTS TO REPAIR. MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT AFTERMARKET PARTS (INCLUDING FAN CLUTCH FOR THIS VEHICLE) DOES NOT WORK WELL AND END UP NEEDING REPLACEMENT ALMOST AS SOON AS REPAIRS ARE DONE. THIS REALLY SUCKS THAT AN AMERICAN AUTO MANUFACTURER CAN FAIL TO MAKE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLES. I GUESS THEY NEED TO SELL A NEW ONE THAT BAD! NOT ANOTHER DODGE, FOR SURE

DRIVING ACCROSS THE KINGSTON RHINECLIFF BRIDGE AND HEARD CLUNKING AND SCRAPING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK BED. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND NOTICED THE GAS TANK STRAP HAD RUSTED AND FAILED LEAVING THE GAS TANK HANGING.

WHILE DRIVING, MY SEAT BELTS LOCK UP AND WILL NOT ALLOW ANY MOVEMENT - HOLDING THE OCCUPANT TIGHTLY TO THE BACK OF THE SEAT, INDUCING TREMENDOUS ANXIETY. WITH EACH MOVEMENT OF THE OCCUPANT, THE SEATBELT TIGHTENS. SEATBELT MUST BE UNBUCKLED TO RELEAVE PRESSURE.

WIPERS WORK FINE IN HIGH OR LOW POSITION BUT ARE SPORADIC AND OR STOP COMPLETELY IN THE INTERMITTENT POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN OPEN POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL DURING THE INCIDENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V821000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (MILTON RUBEN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 3508 WASHINGTON RD, AUGUSTA, GA 30907, (706) 863-6633) WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT DID NOT FOLLOW UP WITH A CALL BACK. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *BF CONSUMER STATED AIR BAG HAS BEEN FIXED UPDATED 8/14/18*JB

INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALER UPON NOTICE OF THE RECALL FOR TEKATA TK HOLDINGS AIR BAGS. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE. INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED IN THIS ACCIDENT,BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED IF OUR AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE OTHER DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT AT A HIGH SPEED DRIVING A 2007 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER. HER AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY JUST FINE. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION OF LAYTON PARKWAY AND MAIN STREET IN LAYTON, UTAH HAVING A GREEN ARROW AND THE RIGHT OF WAY PROCEEDED UPON VISUALIZING THE INTERSECTION FOR ALL TRAFFIC TO HAVE STOPPED, THIS OTHER DRIVER CAME OFF THE INTERSTATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BLOWING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND HITTING US HEAD ON. THE IMPACT COMPLETELY LIFTED MY TRUCK UP AND SPUN IT AROUND A FULL 180 DEGREES POINTING IT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. MY RATE OF SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE IMPACT WAS ONLY 5-10 MPH

BOTH REAR WHEEL WELLS ARE RUSTING OUT FROM INSIDE OUT. I KNOW THIS IS A OLD VEHICLE NOW BUT THIS SHOULD RUST FROM OUTSIDE IN. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF TRUCK SO IT DOESN'T RUST AWAY ON ME, THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE HAPPEN. RUST WILL EAT THRU SOON ENOUGH AND ROCKS WILL BE ABLE TO BE FLUNG OUT AT OTHER CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) AND 05V462000 (POWER TRAIN). WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE HORN BEGAN TO SOUND AND THE WARNING INDICATORS BEGAN TO FLICKER INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (B&B CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 125 GRANDVIEW AVENUE, HONESDALE, PA 18431), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT PRESENT PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS BEING INVESTIGATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 375,321.

TAKATA AIRBAG I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE RECALL AND I WENT ON LINE SO THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE. AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE THE PART WAS AVAILABLE I CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN FOR 2 WEEKS. I DROPPED THE TRUCK OFF AT RON TONKIN DODGE IN MILWAUKIE OR. THEY CALLED AND NOTIFIED ME THAT THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED FOR ANOTHER MONTH. I LIVE 45 MILES AWAY AND MAKING ARRAIGNMENTS FOR A PICK UP RIDE TO AND FROM DEALER IS NOT EASY. WHY AM I GETTING LETTERS TELLING ME THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WHEN THEY ARE NOT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER ALMOST A YEAR FROM THE TIME I REGISTERED ON LINE UNTIL TODAY. I THOUGHT I HAD THE TRUCK SOLD WITH THE STIPULATION I HAD ALL RECALLS AND SERVICE UP TO DATE. THE BUYER DOES NOT WANT TO WAIT FOR A MONTH. THEY WILL BUY ANOTHER TRUCK. AFTER ALL THIS, I AM NOT HAPPY. I TRIED THE PHONE NUMBERS ON THE NOTIFICATION, I GET A VERY FAST BUSY SIGNAL. I HOPE NO ONE IS INJURED DURING THE WAIT.

TAKATA RECALL, WHILE LOOKING UP THE STATUS OF THE PASSENGER AB RECALL, I FOUND OUT THAT REPLACEMENT AB WERE AVAILABLE. I HAD NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AS I DID FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AB. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THAT REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE TO FIND OUT WHEN I COULD BRING MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE REPLACED I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY REPLACEMENTS IN STOCK, BUT THEY COULD ORDER ONE, THIS WAS ON 5/26/17. AFTER TWO WEEKS WENT BY WITHOUT GETTING A CALL THAT MY AB HAD COME IN, I CALLED THE DEALER ON 6/5/17, AND FOUND OUT THAT A RECALL AB PART HAD ARRIVED AND THAT THE DEALER DIDN'T THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT TO CALL & LET ME KNOW THAT THEY COULD FIX MY TRUCK. I HAD TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, NOT FOR THAT DAY OR THE NEXT DAY, BUT 3 DAYS LATER. SO ON 6/8/17, I FINALLY HAD A SERIOUS RECALL ITEM REPLACED, BUT IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE I FOLLOWED UP ON IT. THEN I HAD TO HAVE THE DEALER ORDER THE AB AND CALL TO FIND OUT WHY I HADN'T BEEN NOTIFIED WHEN THE PART CAME IN. FINAL STRAW WAS HAVING TO WAIT OVER THREE DAYS TO HAVE PART INSTALLED, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORKED IN THE DAY I CALLED. I FEEL THAT FCA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT A 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE NEEDING AN AIRBAG REPLACED THAT ENDANGERED NOT ONLY MY LIFE, BUT THE LIFE OF ANYONE THAT CHOOSE TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE FOR OVER 13 MONTHS. THAT TYPE OF DISREGARD FOR A PREVIOUS CUSTOMER IS DISGRACEFUL AND SHOWS A COMPLETE LACK OF CONCERN FOR ANYONE OWNING ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES. I'M REALLY WRITING TO LET YOU KNOW TH

FRONT END DEATH WOBBLE AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT 65 MPH

TAKATA RECALL DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR.

TAKATA INFLATOR: IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE I'VE RECEIVED OFFICIAL RECALL NOTIFICATION, FREQUENTLY INQUIRE, YET TOLD THERE ARE NO INFLATORS. I'M AN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER, AND UNDERSTAND THE HAZARD INVOLVED AND CAN ACT AS PROFESSIONAL WITNESS. WHY ISN'T NHTSA RESOLVING A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE? WHEN WILL THIS GET FIXED OR WHOM DO I SUE?

"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FROM A DEALER IN NASHVILLE TN THAT ALSO OWNED A DEALERSHIP IN FLORIDA. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WAS IN FLORIDA, BUT THE TRUCK HAD OVER 2600 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IN AUG 2005. HOW DO I KNOW WHAT GROUP MY VEHICLE IS IN SINCE IT WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO FLORIDA , THEN SOLD IN TN, AND NOW HAS BEEN IN MO SINCE 2008. I NOW HAVE OVER 216,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND I'M CONCERNED OVER HOW LONG I'M WAITING TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY (DEATH WOBBLE) WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BALL BEARINGS AND DAMPERS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.
