WIPER SYSTEM REFUSED TO OPERATE. WARMED UP THE VEHICLE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF, STILL NO OPERATION. SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED. THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS FROZEN SINCE VERY COLD WEATHER, BUT THE WIPERS DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO MOVE, THEY COULD BE MANUALLY MOVED A BIT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 09E001000 (STEERING)05V462000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 13V528000 (STEERING) HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT FOR TIME FOR REPAIR.

2005 DODGE 2500 CUMMINS ENGINE, 160,000 MILES, STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPG AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD ASSOCIATED WITH EVERYDAY DRIVING. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP TO GET IT COME OUT OF IT, WENT ANOTHER 30 MILES DID IT AGAIN. ABSOLUTELY A SCARY SITUATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND IM AM SURE IT WAS SCARY FOR PEOPLE BEHIND ME AS THEY SEEN MY TRUCK START SHAKING AND ME SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. DROVE TRUCK HOME AND HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" , A COMMON PROBLEM ON MODEL YEARS 2003 THRU 2008. FORUM WEBSITES HAVE HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON IT, FROM 20,000 MILES TO 250,000 MILES. CONTACTED DODGE DEALER AND THERE IS NO "RECALLS" OPEN ON MY TRUCK STEERING OTHER THAN H46 AND N62, NEITHER OF WHICH WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FUNNY THING IS, EVEN THOUGH DODGE "DOESN'T HAVE A PROBLEM" I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND WHERE I CAN ORDER THE SAME TYPE OF STEERING LINKAGE CURRENTLY ON MY TRUCK, IT TAKES ME TO THE NEW 2009 AND NEWER STYLE. A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WITH WINTER DRIVING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

THE OIL PAN HAS A SILVER DOLLAR SIZED RUST-THROUGH FORMING AT THE BOTTOM, REAR, RIGHT CORNER AND IS NOW LETTING OIL SEEP THROUGH. I DISCOVERED THIS WHEN I NOTICED A SMALL PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE TRUCK AND INSPECTED IT. LUCKILY, I CAUGHT THIS BEFORE IT CAUSED A MAJOR PROBLEM. HAD I NOT NOTICED THIS DEFECT AND IT FAILED WHILE DRIVING, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE BY ALLOWING OIL TO BLOW ON TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. ALTERNATIVELY, IT ALSO COULD HAVE ALLOWED 12 QUARTS OF OIL TO LEAK ON TO THE HIGHWAY, DESTROYED MY TURBO AND/OR ENGINE, OR CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN THE ENGINE SEIZED UP. DODGE INFORMS ME THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST IN EXCESS OF $1,400.00. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE OIL PAN SHOULD RUST THROUGH LIKE THIS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A CONDITION IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED. *TR

I HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK TO GET IT SERVICED BECAUSE THE STEERING FELT OFF AND WHEN I WOULD GO TO STOP IT SOUNDED LIKE METAL SHAKING. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE LEFT TIE ROD WAS CRACKED AND THE STEERING LINKAGE WAS JUST HANGING THERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON IT BEFORE I HAD PURCHASED THE TRUCK SO I CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS DEEMED THAT THE TRUCK DIDN'T HAVE THE "SPECIFIC RECALLED" PART. SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AROUND $3,000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON. THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM LISTED IN THE RECALL, "BECAUSE THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD MAY FRACTURE." IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MINE. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER GROUP THAT SINCE MY TRUCK HAD BEEN CHECKED FOR THE SPECIFIC PART BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT. THEY DID SAY TO KEEP ALL MY RECIEPTS IN CASE THERE IS A FUTURE RECALL ON THAT SPECIFIC PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THE TIE ROD, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

WIPERS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. THEY WILL ACTIVATE RANDOMLY WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE REMOTE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE INTERMITTENT SETTINGS, THE WIPERS MAY OR MAY NOT MOVE. IF THEY MOVE, THEY MAY MOVE ONCE OR MULTIPLE TIMES. IF THEY DO NOT MOVE AT ALL, SWITCH HAS TO BE SET TO SLOW/FAST CONTINUOUS SETTING. HAVE REPLACED MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH, FORWARD CONTROL MODULE, AND WIPER MOTOR. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND WILL STOP SPORADICALLY DURING THE CYCLE. IN DELAY MODE THE WIPERS MAY OR MAY NOT OPERATE AND MAY DELAY THEN CONTINUOUSLY WIPE OR JUST NOT WORK AT ALL. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING DUE TO VISIBILITY AND THE NEED TO KEEP LOOKING DOWN AT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL. RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT APPEARS DODGE HASN'T RESOLVED. *TR

ON PA 81 HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH. THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE BUT WAS NOT THE CASE. AFTER LOOKING ON THE WEB "YOU TUBE" AND ASKING PEOPLE I FOUND THAT I HAD A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND THE KIDS IN THE BACK THOUGH WE WERE GOING TO CRASH AS DID I. THIS DEATH WOBBLE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A CRASH. *TR

THE STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS GONE OUT TWICE ON MY TRUCK, ONCE AT ABOUT 85,000 AND ONCE AT 158000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME THE STEERING LOCKED TURNING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, THE SECOND TIME ONLY TURN TO THE LEFT. PRECEDING THESE OCCURRENCES, WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND GOING OVER A BUMP THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY (DEATH SHAKE), AND TO CONTROL THE TRUCK I HAD TO BREAK SHARPLY. THE THIRD STEERING ASSEMBLY THAT WAS JUST INSTALLED AT A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP, WITHIN A COUPLE OF MILES, THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS - TWO DIFFERENT VIBRATION - ONE LIKE THE TIRES ARE OUT OF BALANCE, THE OTHER IS A RAPID VIBRATION THAT YOU FEEL THRU THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE MONTH PRECEDING THE STEERING FAILURE. I HAD THE BALANCE OF THE TIRES CHECKED, THEY WERE FINE, BUT THE VIBRATION PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. I LOOKS LIKE ALL THREE STEERING ASSEMBLIES ARE BAD - I HAVE CHECKED WITH A REPUTABLE MECHANIC, AND THEY STATED THAT THE FACTORY STEERING ASSEMBLIES ARE NO GOOD FOR THIS TRUCK. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS PROVIDED NO HELP OR RESOLUTIONS, AND I HAVE EVEN REQUESTED THAT THEY CONTACT THE FACTORY FOR RESOLUTIONS, BUT HAVE DECLINED TO HELP. THE LAST CONVERSATION THEY SAID IT WAS A BALANCING ISSUE - THIS WAS FOUND OUT NOT TO BE TRUE. *TR

RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL N62/NHTSA 13V-528 IN DEC 2013, DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL MAR 2014 DO TO ALL OF THE BAD WINTER WEATHER. THEY SAID I HAD THE SUSPECT TIE ROD AND WOULD BE PUT ON THE LIST FOR THE REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD I WAS # 70 ON THE LIST. I HAVE SINCE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND AM TOLD EACH TIME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS FROM CHRYSLER AND THAT CHRYSLER ONLY SENDS THEM A FEW PARTS AT A TIME. LOOKS LIKE I WILL NEVER GET THIS ITEM REPAIRED? *TR

I WAS SENT A RECALL NOTICE ON POSSIBLE FAULTY STEERING LINKAGE I CALLED FIRST TIME 4/23/14 TO SCHEDULE APPT. WAS TOLD BY PARTS MANAGER AT MOUNT AIRY DODGE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER WILL BE IN TOUCH. SAID I WAS #30 ON LIST, IN MEAN TIME RECEIVE SECOND RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE I CALL AGAIN ON 8/26/14 STILL ON WAITING LIST WAS TOLD POSSIBILITY IN TWO WEEKS THEY WILL CALL ME. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN DODGE TO SEND OUT RECALLS BUT HAVE NO REPLACEMENTS PARTS! HOW LONG WOULD YOU WAIT? *TR

RECALL NOTICE N62/NHTSA 13V-528 (LEFT TIE ROD). I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RECALL NOTICED RESOLVED FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT RELEASE THE PART TO THE DEALER. WHY SEND A RECALL NOTICE IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE PART? I AM FEARFUL FOR MY AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY WHICH SEEMS TO BE A CONTRADICTION TO CHRYSLER'S COMMENTS STATING "WE ARE SINCERELY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY". IF THEY WERE CONCERNED THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PART IN A TIMELY MANOR. *TR

I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING RECALL NOTICE IN JANUARY OF 2014. "DURING A PRIOR SERVICE APPOINTMENT, A MOPAR SERVICE PARTS STEERING LINKAGE MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON YOUR TRUCK. THE DRAG LINK INNER JOINT MAY FRACTURE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE STEERING DAMPER BRACKET AT THE TIE ROD TUBE MAY LOOSEN. THIS COULD ALLOW THE BRACKET TO SLIDE ON THE TUBE AND MAY CAUSE INCREASED VEHICLE TURNING RADIUS." AFTER I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THE PARTS WERE BACKORDERED AND THEY ADDED ME TO THEIR LIST. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED I CALL THEM TO CHECK ON THE PART IF I DIDN'T HEAR FROM THEM. I HAVE RECEIVED TO ADDITIONAL RECALL NOTICES ON THIS MATTER SINCE THEN. I HAVE TRIED TO CALL THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND CAN NOT GET THROUGH TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SO I CALLED CHRYSLERS RECALL PHONE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD FLAG MY ACCOUNT AND CONTACT THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM CALL ME WHICH HASN'T HAPPENED EITHER.

I RECEIVE AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL # N62 / NHTSA 13V-528 FROM CHRYSLER CORP. FOR THE DODGE TRUCK LISTED ABOVE. THIS RECALL WAS SENT TO ME LAST NOVEMBER OF 2013. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY TUTTLE DODGE IN TUSTIN, CA. THIS IS THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2055. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THIS VEHICLE NEED THE SAFETY REPAIR AND SAID THAT CHRYSLER WOULD INFORM MW WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVE AT THEIR DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN MAKE THE SAFETY REPAIRS. I HAVE CHECK WITH TUTTLE DODGE EVERY MONTH SINCE AND WAS TOLD THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THIS REPAIR IS TO THE LEFT TIE ROD, AND IF IT BREAKS THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE NO STEERING. THIS WOULD RESULT IN 10,000 POUND TRUCK RUNNING COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL WITH UNDERSTANDABLE DISASTROUS RESULTS. I WANT SOME HELP GETTING THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED TO A SAFE CONDITION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD SON TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45-50MPH AND THERE WAS A SPOT IN THE ROAD THAT WE RAN OVER WHICH WAS A REPAIR SO IT WAS RAISED UP A BIT FROM LEVEL. AFTER RUNNING OVER THE REPAIR THE INFAMOUS DODGE DEATH WOBBLED STARTED. ONCE THE SHAKING STARTED I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SLOWING DOWN BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR US THE DEATH WOBBLE SHEARED THE TIE ROD END THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE PITMAN ARM COMPLETELY OFF OF THE TRUCK SO I HAD NO STEERING CONTROL OVER THE TRUCK AND WE FLEW IN TO THE NEXT LANE AND WOUND UP ON THE SHOULDER HITTING THE CURB. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS THAT A MANUFACTURER WOULD ALLOW THIS ISSUE TO PERSIST FOR YEARS. DODGE HAD THIS ISSUE STARTING WITH 2003 TRUCKS. I HAVE SPEND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND DODGE ALWAYS SAYS "WELL MAYBE IT IS THIS" AND WANTS MORE MONEY. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR [XXX] PRODUCT. IT ALMOST KILLED MY SON AND I. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
