Dodge has issued a recall from October 7 2014 for recal p65 / nhtsa14v-635 stating that the diesel fuel heater may overheat leak diesel and cause smoke under the hood or catch fire. After having service at the dealer they stated they have no fix yet or parts for this safety issue which may cause a fire, here are their words from their website under recall status for my VIN incomplete but repair parts are not available. This is the second safety issue where Dodge ram has had a safety issue but no parts the first was the left tie rod where they had no parts available. Why are they allowed to issue safety recalls and have no parts to fix issues that could cause the vehicle to catch on fire or smoke this places people on the road at risk.

Recall p65, received notice in oct. 2014, contacted Dodge day letter was received. Asked if vehicle was safe to drive at which time they stated "we can not tell you if your vehicle is safe or not", asked to schedule service and informed no parts at this time. . . Fast forward 5 months. . On the Dodge website it clearly states my vehicle must be inspected for fuel leak on this recall. . . So I call Dodge and once again I'm told no parts yet, they don't even know what parts are needed, so I once again asked if the vehicle was safe to drive and that I won't have an engine fire and received the same response as last time. . . I asked if at least my vehicle can be inspected to see if it has a fuel leak so I k ow if it's safe to drive and the response was no, since no parts, "its a liability issue if they inspect and don't have parts". . . . . Nor will they provide a rental and guess what if it catches fire they won't pay for it. . . I didn't spend over 50k to have a lawn decoration, I bought the vehicle to drive!.

While driving on the highway traffic ahead was coming to a stop because of a truck making a left hand turn I applied the brakes and the engine continued to stay at the same speed. I avoided an accident by shifting into neutral and noticed that the engine was running at 1,800 rpm. I then put the truck into drive with the brakes applied and it started to downshift the transmission very hard. This occurred several other times as I drove home. I took the truck to the dealer the next morning and had it serviced for a recall and the problem of a stuck throttle which I thought to be the problem. I was called back to pick up the truck on 1/10/2014 and immediately had the same problem later that day. I took the trick back to the dealer on 1/13/2014 and have yet to receive an answer to the problem only that they can not find a problem with it. This concerns me very much as this condition could and will in the future cause an accident,injury or death should it occur again.
