I WAS TOWING A 5TH WHEEL AND THE CHECK ENG. LIGHT COME ON AND THE TRUCK STALLED WHENT FROM 60MPH. TO 30 MPH. I STOPED FOR THE NIGHT IN THE MORNING I GOT IT TO HOLIDAY DODGE IN AUSTIN MN. AND WAS TOLD THE A CODE OF P0087 WAS ON AND IT WAS A LOW FUEL RAIL PERSSURE. BUT THE PART NEED WAS ON BACK ORDER AND NO DODGE SHOPE HAD ONE IT WOULD TAKE 4 TO 6 WEEKS TO GET ONE. AFTER THIS REPAIR WAS DONE IT HAS BEEN INTO DODGE 8 TIME FOR THE SAME THING AND HAS COST ME A LOT. BUT I STELL DON'T HAVE A SEFE TRUCK. ITS NOT SAFE DO TO THE TRUCK RUNING AT 60MPH THEN DROPING TO 30MPH OR NOT RUNING AT ALL. TOWING A TRAILER AND THE ENG. STOPS ON THE INTERSTATE TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK AND TRAILER OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER IS NOT SAFE.

IN DECEMBER, I RECEIVED THE P65 FUEL HEATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR RECALL WHICH WARNS OF A FUEL LEAK AND RISK OF FIRE. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS AND AVOID THE FIRE RISK. IF CHRYSLER CAN COME UP WITH THE PARTS TO SUPPLY THEIR PRODUCTION LINES, WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER COME UP WITH THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL? BASED ON THIS RECALL AND OTHER CHRYSLER RECALLS, THE DELAYS PROCURING RECALL PARTS WHILE SUPPLYING PRODUCTION LINE PARTS APPEARS TO BE A DELIBERATE STRATEGY BY CHRYSLER TO DELAY OR AVOID THE EXPENSE OF IMPLEMENTING RECALLS. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10-15 TIMES AT SLOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHEN THE TRUCK WAS IN FOR SERVICE. ONLY HAVE MY HOUSE KEY & TRUCK KEYS ON KEY RING. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MPH ON A UNLIT, CURVEY, BUMPY ROAD IGNITION SHUT OFF LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING LIGHTS & I KNOW THAT THE KEY DID NOT HIT MY LEG BECAUSE THE KEYS WERE FLIPPED ON TOP OF THE IGNITION KEY(GENERALLY DO THIS ALL THE TIME).

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OUR FOR OVER 6 MONTHS FOR THE LEFT TIE ROD. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTED FAILURE OF THIS UNIT LEADING TO LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I TRIED TO SCHEDULE A RECALL APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER, TOWBIN DODGE TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED UNDER THIS RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NUMBER 42 ON THE LIST 6 MONTHS AGO!! I AM NOW NUMBER 24. THE PACE OF REPLACEMENT IS CRIMINAL. THERE IS NO REASON THIS CAN'T BE DONE FASTER SPECIFICALLY WITH SUCH A CRITICAL STEERING COMPONENT... *TR

MY DRIVER WAS TRAVELING AT 80 MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL WHEN HE STARTED TO NOTICE A VIBRATION FROM THE TRUCK THAT WAS SHAKING THE MIRRORS. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL AND STARTED TO DECELERATE. AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH A LARGE BANG WAS HEARD FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WAS LIFTED OFF OF THE PAVEMENT. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE TURNED SLIGHTLY SIDEWAYS WHEN IT CAME BACK DOWN INTO CONTACT WITH THE PAVEMENT WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH! THANKFULLY MY DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT BUT WHEN HE PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HE WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY BRING IT TO A STOP. PARTS FROM THE TRUCK HAD BEEN STREWN DOWN THE INTERSTATE OVER APPROXIMATELY 200 YDS. THERE WAS A VEHICLE TRAVELING BEHIND MY DRIVER AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT BUT LUCKILY THEY WERE FAR ENOUGH BEHIND THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTIONS TO AVOID ANY FLYING DEBRIS. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR AFTER INCIDENT ACCIDENTS THAT OCCURRED THOUGH I WOULD ATTRIBUTE THIS TO THE ALERT AND RESPONSIVE DRIVING OF BOTH MY DRIVER AND THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE BEHIND HIM. HAD THERE BEEN A VEHICLE DIRECTLY BEHIND OR TO THE SIDE OF HIM THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT POSSIBLY RESULTING IN INJURIES OR DEATH. THIS VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DODGE RAM DEALER WHERE WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT WAS THE PART THAT FAILED. WE WERE INFORMED BY DEALER PERSONNEL THAT THIS DRIVE SHAFT HA

WHEN I ASKED DEALER ABOUT THIS RECALL, THE DEALER (SERVICE) CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT GET THE PART FROM MANUFACTURER. CAN YOU SEND THE PART TO ME AND I CAN TAKE IT OVER TO HAVE FIXED. I LIVE AND DRIVE IN ALASKA AND IF THIS IS AN ISSUE THEN I AM KIND OF SCARED. RECALL ID (?) N49/NHTSA 12V-529 SPECIFIC: CG203138 N49 *TR

MY VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL N49/NHTSA 13V-529 RE: LEFT TIE ROD. I RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL QUITE SOME TIME AGO. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, LITHIA DODGE OF MISSOULA, MT AND GOT ON "THE LIST" OF PERSONS WHO ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME RECALL BUT WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR PARTS. I THINK I GOT ON THE LIST IN DECEMBER. I HAVE FOLLOWED UP ONCE OR TWICE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON PARTS FROM DODGE TO SATISFY THIS RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND TELL ME WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE. THANK YOU. *TR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW AND WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE TIE ROD ENDS. AFTER LEARNING OF THE RECALL I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER ONLY TO DISCOVER THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AND I AM APPROXIMATELY NUMBER 800 ON THE WAITING LIST. THIS RECALL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE FORCED TO QUIT DRAGGING THEIR FEET AND GET THE NECESSARY PARTS TO THE LOCAL DEALERS FOR INSTALLATION. IT DOESN'T TAKE THIS LONG FOR THEM TO BUILD THOUSANDS OF COMPLETE VEHICLES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 50MPH WENT TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A TRUCK AND NOTHING HAPPENED. DEAD PEDAL, A BIG TRUCK WAS COMING UP BEHIND ME AND HE HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES AS I WAS NOW IN THE LEFT LANE. HE WENT TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES. DEALER CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, AS NO CODES ARE SET. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE APPS, WHICH IS THE GAS PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, THE ECM, THE EGR. NONE OF THESE MADE A DIFFERENCE. BEEN BACK AT LEAST TEN TIMES FOR THEM TO PUT TRUCK ON THERE COMPUTER, AND NO CODES. THEY SAY, CAN'T FIX WHAT THEY DON'T SEE. DEALER LEFT THE WORK ORDER OPEN FOR A LONG TIME SO NO EVIDENCE OF ALL THE COME BACKS WERE RECORDED. DEALER IS 40 MILES AWAY. TWICE IN ONE MINUTE, ONE TIME ONLY TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE FROM A STOPLIGHT. THIS ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME. I CAN MAKE THE TRUCK DO ITS DEAD PEDAL THING, BUT ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE EXHAUST BRAKE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKE IS ON, PUMPING THE PEDAL DOES NO GOOD, JUST PUT IT TO THE FLOOR WAIT 3 OR MORE SECONDS AND WILL DOWNSHIFT AND OFF WE GO. LIKE I SAID, WHEN GOING TO PASS, MOVING INTO THE LEFT LANE ON A HILL AND NOTHING HAPPENS, JUST A LITTLE SCARY. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT COULD CREATE AN ACCIDENT. REAR ENDED.. *TR

TRAVELING CLOSE TO MAX LEGAL HIGHWAY SPEED FOR THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I WAS TRAVELING ON. FELT AND SOUNDED LIKE TWO FRONT TIRES BLEW AND WAS TRAVELING ON THE RIMS (SPARKS AND SOUNDS AND RESPONSIVENESS ON VEHICLE). PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT DRIVELINE GOING INTO THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAD SEPARATED. IT WAS STILL ATTACHED TO THE TRANSFER CASE IN THE REAR. THE UNIVERSAL JOINT AND APPROXIMATELY ONE FOOT OF DRIVE SHAFT WAS CHERRY RED. BEARING RACE WAS FOUND ON SIDE OF ROAD AND HAD STARTED A SMALL FIRE (WAS PUT OUT BY DRIVER).

UP TO ACCIDENT ALL APPEARED NORMAL EXCEPT FOR A SLIGHT INTERMITTENT INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM (200-300 RPM) ABOUT 5 MILES PRIOR, ONCE WHILE CLIMBING A HILL EASTBOUND OUT OF SPOKANE ON INTERSTATE, AND JUST BEFORE FAILURE OF VEHICLE. VEHICLE AND BOTH RECOVERED PARTS AT DODGE DEALERSHIP IN KENNEWICK WA. INCIDENT REPORTED TO DODGE. DAMAGE TO HIGHWAY OBSERVED TO BE A GOUGE (2-3' LONG APPROX 2" MAX DEEP) OUT OF PAVED SHOULDER OF INTERSTATE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY 97 CLOSE TO PRINCE GEORGE, CANADA,I HEARD A LOUD SCRATCHING SOUND WHICH I THOUGHT TO BE WORN OUT BRAKE PADS. IT WAS SUNDAY EVENING AND ALL DEALERS WHERE CLOSED. WHEN I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING(I SPENT THE NIGHT IN TOWN) THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME BECAUSE THEY WERE BOOKED. SO I WENT TO A GARAGE WHO COULD TAKE ME IN. I WAS TOLD THE BRAKE PADS WHERE NOT TO BAD BUT THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS RIPPED OUT OF THE CASING AT THE CENTRE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID I HAD TO WAIT TILL THEY COULD LOOK AT IT NEXT DAY(DAY 2). AND EVEN IF IT WOULD TAKE ANOTHER DAY. I THEN TOLD THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO FIX IT UP SINCE I HAD TO LITTLE KIDS ALREADY WAITING TO GET HOME. CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME THAT I FOLLOW THEIR GUIDELINES OR THEY WOULD NOT GIVE BACK ANY MONEY. THERE I AM WITH A $85000 VEHICLE AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR $4000 AND THEY WOULD REFUSE TO HELP ME RATHER LET ME AND MY FAMILY WAIT FOR TWO DAYS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS A RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED AT THE FRONT END BUT THEY HAVE ACCORDING TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER BEEN ABLE TO GET THE PARTS IN. BY NOW BOTH FRONT BALL JOINTS ARE LOOSE AND THE FRONT END IS SHAKEN EVEN HERE THEY HAD NO ANSWER FOR THE 14 MONTH DELAY. *TR

WE'LL CALL YOU IF AND WHEN WE GET SOMETHING, BUT IT COULD BE ANOTHER YEAR." I HAVE PUT 14000 MILES ON THE TRUCK IN ALL SORTS OF SITUATIONS THAT COULD RESULT IN A FAILURE AND DRIVE AT LEAST 100 MILES A DAY. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFFILIATED WITH THIS RECALL IS ABYSMAL AT BEST. THE RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER HAS BEEN OF NO ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE REPAIRS HANDLED. *TR
