THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AT MANY DODGE DEALERS. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THIS TRUCK DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE PART. WHEN I TURN TO THE RIGHT I FEEL IT POPPING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DON DAVIS THAT THIS IS THE SYMPTOM. THEY SAID THAT THEY REPLACED THE TIE RODS ON 2 VEHICLES THAT HAD JUST BROKEN. NOW, I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK UNTIL I GET THIS CORRECTED.

FAILURE OF CLUTCH/STARTER INTERLOCK SWITCH, VEHICLE WILL START WITH CLUTCH OUT. *TR

WHEN PULLIN GOUT INTO THE TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE'S RPM'S WAS RACE OFF AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BUCK AND NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WHILE IN A MOVING MOTION. WE HAD TO LITERALLY PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT WOULD JUMP INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THE SOLENOID WAS REPLACED. *TR

WOW ANOTHER TRIP TO THE TRANSMISSION PLACE.... THIS IS BEGINNING TO GET RIDICULOUS. WE ARE AT THE TRANSMISSION PLACE AGAIN. THE HESITATION WHILE IN MOTION TO GET INTO TRAFFIC OR WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT WE ARE LITERALLY SHOVING OUR FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARD WHILE THE TRUCK IS TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT WANTS TO SHIFT1-2. WE LHAD TO LIMP HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP AND TAKE IT BACK TO OUR TRANSMISSION PLACE WE HAD JUST REBUILT IT 8 MONTHS AGO FOR THE SAME REASON WE TOOK IT TO HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE KNOW FOR A FACT WHAT PARTS WERE USED TO REBUILD THE TRANNY, AND WE SHOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, ONLY FOR THEM TO SAY OH WHEN YOU HAVE CHANGED OUT YOUR BATTERIES OR SUCH THE ELECTRICAL COULD ALSO MESS WITH THE GOVERNOR OR THE SOLENOID. WELL LET'S JUST SAY WE HAVE NOT CHANGED BATTERIES NOR HAVE WE TOWED ANYTHING IN THE LAST 16 MONTHS. DODGE NEEDS TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS BECOMING VERY COSTLY AS WELL AS AN ENDANGERMENT WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK BEGINS TO BUCK AND WANTING TO SHIFT THE GEARS AT THE WRONG TIME AND US LOSE CONTROL WHILE STOPPED OR WHILE DRIVING IT DECADES TO SHIFT FINALLY. WE CANNOT AFFORD FOR OUR CHILDREN TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF IT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BECOME AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANNY. *TR

WE HAD THE SAME ISSUE HAPPEN AGAIN. ACCELERATING TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC AND YET AGAIN THE TRUCK BEGINS TO BUCK AND ACT ALL WACKY... THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT WHEN TRYING TO MANEUVER IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC AND AVOID GETTING REAR ENDED OR T-BONED BECAUSE OF THE DELAY IN THE TRUCK TRYING TO SHIFT INTO THE APPROPRIATE GEARS. THIS TIME WE HAD TO REPLACE AND REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION, I DON'T LIKE SHELLING OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY WHEN DODGE IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO RECALL THE VEHICLES WHICH THEY ARE AWARE OF WITH THE SOLENOID ISSUES EITHER GETTING STUCK OPEN OR CLOSED AND MAKING THE REPAIRS, MAKING IT VERY COSTLY TO THE CONSUMER. WE ARE VERY LUCKY WE DID NOT GET REAR ENDED OR T-BONED WHILE TRAVELING A DISTANCE AND LIMP BACK TO OUR HOUSE AND CONCERNED FOR OUR FAMILY WHILE IN THIS VEHICLE. VERY ANGRY CONSUMER WITH DODGE FOR NOT WANTING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PREVIOUS VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED, SO THEY CHANGE THE PARTS TO ENHANCE THE TRANSMISSION TO A SELF GREASING SOLENOID AND INSIDE PARTS TO AVOID THIS COSTLY REPAIR TO THEMSELVES. *TR

CLUTCH PEDAL WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH AFTER EXTENDED VEHICLE OPERATION, PARTICULARLY IN HOT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE 2009; AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING (WITH OR WITHOUT TOWING, USUALLY IN WARMER TEMPERATURES) THE CLUTCH PEDAL CANNOT BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH FROM THE FLYWHEEL. THE FIRST INCIDENT, IN 2009, OCCURRED AFTER I STOPPED MY TRUCK FOR FUEL, AND RESULTED IN VEHICLE MOVEMENT DURING ENGINE CRANKING WHEN I FORCED THE CLUTCH PEDAL DOWN FAR ENOUGH TO ENGAGE THE CLUTCH POSITION SWITCH TO ALLOW CRANKING. THE ISSUE BECAME REPEATABLE ENOUGH THAT I REPLACED THE ENTIRE CLUTCH SYSTEM (MASTER CYLINDER, HYDRAULIC TUBING, AND SLAVE CYLINDER) IN 2013 WITH THE OE PARTS, AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR WITH THE REPLACEMENT SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH AND TRAVELED OVER A ROAD BUMP, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT THEN LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OUTER TIE ROD WAS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES.

THE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY BROKE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT IN 2013, COMPLAINT #10507531, BECAUSE CHRYSLER STATED THAT OUR MANUFACTURE DATE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2006 RECALL. THE RECALL HAS SINCE BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY MANUFACTURE DATE. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE RECALL IS FOR MOPAR TIE RODS ONLY, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT FAIL 2 TIMES FOR IT TO BE COVERED UNDER RECALL. I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THE TRUCK AND CANNOT VERIFY HOW MANY TIMES THE TIE RODS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE FAILED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. ALSO, SINCE THE REPAIR WAS DONE PRIOR TO NOTIFICATION OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL, THE FAILED PART WAS NOT KEPT TO SEE THE MANUFACTURER. ALL I DO KNOW IS THAT THE TIE ROD DID FAIL AND THE STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT ON THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A DIESEL MODEL TRUCK THAT IS GOOD FOR 250,000 TO 350,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. CHRYSLER IS DENYING MY CLAIM UNDER THE RECALL AND TOLD ME TO HAVE A NICE DAY. I AM NOT SATISFIED AND DO NOT FEEL THIS IS JUSTIFIABLE. IF THEIR INTENT IS TO BLAME THE NUMEROUS TIE ROD FAILURES ON A PARTICULAR BRAND OF PART, IT DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY MY TIE ROD FAILED IF IT HAD THEIR PART. I ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE SHOULD BE INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE N62/NHTSA 13V-528 REGARDING THE STEERING LINKAGE. I HAD A FAILURE OF THE LINKAGE IN 2011 AND IT WAS REPAIRED, BUT WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE HIM CHECK TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AFTER INSPECTION HE STATED "YES". I WAS PUT ON A LONG LIST AND WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE JUNE BEFORE THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED DUE TO UNAVAILABILITY OF PARTS FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE FOR THIS LONG WITH THE POTENTIAL THAT THE DEFECT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING."

I HAVE CALLED AND VISITED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALER (LIBERTY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM- PATASKALA, OHIO) IN OHIO TO TRY AND GET MY TRUCK FIXED DUE TO THE RECALL. I HAVE HEARD EXCUSES FROM- WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS YET, WE WILL CALL YOU IN 3-4 WEEKS WHEN WE HAVE PARTS (NO CALL BACK), OUR SERVICE SUPERVISOR IS NOT IN RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL HAVE TO COME BACK (WENT BACK A DAY LATER, THEY ARE IN MEETINGS ALL DAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO SPEAK WITH THEM ABOUT THE RECALL), CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID WE STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS WE WILL CALL YOU BACK (NO CALL BACK, KEEP IN MIND THIS WAS 6 WEEKS AFTER THE ORIGINAL CALL DATE), THIS PAST WEEK I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID LET ME CHECK WITH OUR PARTS DEPARTMENT AND WE WILL GIVE YOU A CALL BACK THIS AFTERNOON(NO CALL BACK). THEY HAVE HAD PLENTY OF OPPURTUNITIES TO ATLEAST BE CURTIOUS AND GIVE ME A CALL BACK TO UPDATE, LET ALONE FIX THE RECALL. I HAVE EVEN TOLD THEM MY FRONT TIRES HAVE EXTREME ABNORMAL WEAR ON THE INSIDES, AND THEY'RE RESPONSE WAS, WE WILL HAVE OUR SERVICE MANAGER CALL YOU BACK(NO CALL BACK). I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS AS WE HAVE A 6 WEEK OLD BABY AND WE WILL NOT USE THE TRUCK TO TRANSPORT HER ANYWHERE DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERN, SO WE HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO TAKE HER TO APPOINTMENTS, ETC. I WOULD LILKE MY TRUCK FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU *TR

HAULING A GOOSE NECK TRAILER EMPTY TO NEW MEXICO, SUDDENLY THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY IN THE FAMOUS "DEATH WOBBLE" OF THESE VEHICLES. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND THE WHOLE FRONT END NEED TO BE "UPDATED" TO THE BIGGER BEEFIER SUSPENSION. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT CHRYSLER HAS CREATED A WHOLE KIT FOR DOING THIS UPGRADE. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT CONSIDER IN NEED OF THE RECALL REPLACEMENT JUST FOUR WEEKS PRIOR. THE SERVICE WRITER STRONGLY SUGGESTED I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN FOR A FULL INSPECTION OF THE FRONT END BUT NEVER TOLD ME WHILE INSPECTING HE KNEW THE FRONT END WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT NHTSA HAS STEPPED ON THE END OF ITS PECKER LIMITING THE RECALL TO ONE STYLE OF FRONT END ROD. THIS IS AN ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS DEFECT OF THE TRUCK. WORSE IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. NHTSA NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL DODGE TRUCKS WITHOUT THE BEEFIER FRONT END SUSPENSION. *TR
