Recall that the dealer would not fix.
Veh involved in minor accident. Rear window shattered into long shards of glass instead of small square pieces like safety glass usually break into.
Drivers side power lock actuator failure. . . . . . . . . . . . Seems to be a common problem.
There is some kind of front-end vibration or wobble that starts at about 40 mph through 44 mph. I can't detect it above that speed. It can be felt through the steering wheel. I have had the tires balanced and rebalanced. The vibration is not affected, and remains the same. I have read of a recall that addresses front-end steering problems regarding the left-front tie rod ball joint . I can't find if this applies to the condition on my truck, but it may be possible. I just want to go on record that this truck has a vibration condition in the front end that at this time is not diagnosed.
Driving down highway car in front was slow when I passed car fan cut my wire on clutchfan engin light came on got home a few minites after look under hood seen wire was cut this is the 2nd time this happened in 2 days.
I was passing a truck on the highway and when I pushed the throttle to the floor to kick in passing gear,the throttle stuck to the floor and would not release. I kept hitting the pedal but it would not release. I was lucky enough to have a semi clear road ahead of me or it would have been disastrous. I had it towed to a dealership and they could not locate the problem. I took it to a second dealership and was in contact with Chrysler corp. And opened up a case, case # 18964704 and have been in contact with brandon but nothing has been resolved. This problem happened on sept. 16, 2009. I did an internet search and found listings of the same problem. I feel this is a serious problem and should be reported. I am looking at trading in the truck at this time because it is such a safety issue. I have only driven the truck 2 times since the incident. Once to the dealership and one time to work. Please help. Chrysler is not returning my phone calls anymore.
: the contact stated while in reverse with the driver side door open and wearing the seat belt the out-of park alarm sounded. The out-of park alarm was installed on the vehicle under NHTSA recall # 05v462000. When contacting the manufacturer it was determined the out-of park alarm should not sound when the seat belt is being worn.
