I received recalls on my vehicle for air bag and steering linkage replacement. When I contacted the dealer to set up the appointment for the recall fixes. I was told they did not have both parts so the appointment was set for about 4-5 weeks later. When the vehicle was taken to the dealership the air bag recall was fixed but they refused to fix the recall on the steering linkage. They stated my truck had the "old Dodge part" so that was not covered. This part if fails will cause me to have no steering control. I had a Chrysler certified mechanic look at the steering part on my truck and he stated it was so bad he would be scared to drive the vehicle. So even though the steering part is bad to the point of being dangerous Dodge is claiming this is not covered under the recall. Why would I receive a recall notice?.

This is in reference to the fca buy back program. According to the consent order I read fca is supposed to be giving us the purchased price plus 10% minus depreciation. The price fca gave me is trade in value plus 10%. I have never been able to purchase a vehicle for trade in price, why should they be able to? this is not a punishment for them it is a punishment for me. I have tried to get my truck repaired just to be told they did not have parts available. Now they want to give me thousands less than what I could have sold it for outright to someone, but now the price of these truck are going down because of all of this in the news.

I had received a recall notice n62/ NHTSA 13v-528. I called dealer numerous times to set up an appointment to have the vehicle checked. The dealer stated that I was on a waiting list for the part. It has been a few years and numerous calls later and the vehicle part still has not been checked and or repaired.

I just wanted to add to the recent recall information you are investigating with the ram trucks. Our 2003 Ram 3500 4x4 has had what is know by Dodge truck owners as the "death wobble" for many years. We have sunk countless amounts of money and time in it trying to fix it. It is very serious and scary as the truck vibrates uncontrollably after hitting a pothole/tracks or similar road obstacles. There is nothing you can do except slow down and ride it out. We were so happy when we received a recall/part fix notice a few years back to have it worked on but upon taking it to the dealer we were told that nothing was wrong. I can tell you with complete certainty that was not the case, it has still done it since then. We think we have it fixed now but only time will tell but it was very upsetting that all the year trucks with this problem were not considered especially when this is a very well documented issue with additional year models.

The upper steering hose inner plastic tube becomes loose or breaks and lodges into the metal fitting which causes a loud hissing noise under the sterring wheel. Because it is also connected to the brakes, the pedal becomes unsafely soft. Dodge/ram needs to recall this as it a known issue all over the internet and becomes a real danger when braking hard or towing.

Loaded at 18000 lbs gvw while towing a tandem axle trailer the vehicle died. Upon losing all electrical power the engine died causing the loss of power assisted brakes and power assisted steering. Fortunately the speed of the vehicle was around 5 mph. I'm 6 foot tall and over 200 lbs and I was unable to steer the vehicle to the side of the parking area. Upon leaving the vehicle I immediately smelled electronics burning. I opened the hood and immediately disconnected the positive post of the totally integrated power module (tipm). I then removed the tipm to find a hole burnt through the side and the circuit board covered with black soot. I had the vehicle and trailer towed to corbin ky where there were no Dodge dealers willing to work on a vehicle of this size. Nor would they store the trailer for me while conducting the repair. I choose to have the vehicle and trailer towed over 600 miles to my home in michigan. I called my local dealer whom took the VIN number to order an new one. After over 2 weeks waiting on the tipm (which turned out to be remanufactured) the truck is still not operable. If I had been travelling at interstate speeds with a loaded vehicle I likely would not have survived this incident. Prior to this happening I had many issues with the lighting on the truck. The low beam on the passenger side would be inoperable while the drivers high beam is the only one that would work. Also, the taillights would stop working on one side and the turn signals would flash quickly. Not seeing this as a huge safety issue I simply took it the dealer to reflash the tipm. After getting it back with half the lights inoperable, the ac didn't work anymore. Now the vehicle is worthless and all sense of security and safety is gone. I can no longer confidently take my family anywhere in this vehicle.
