MY TRUCK HAS QUIT FUNCTIONING 3 DIFFERENT TIMES (DAYS). ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND ENGINE. MOST TIMES IT IS STILL RUNNING BUT I CANNOT MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE. THE LAST TIME THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY AND I COULD NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE MADE REPAIRS BASED ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS WRONG, ONLY TO HAVE IT STOP EXACTLY THE SAME 4 OR 5 DAYS LATER. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS CONDENSER, OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND BATTERY CABLE, THE SECOND REPAIR WAS THE BRAIN. THIS THIRD TIME THEY HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND YESTERDAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM CODES WHEN ON COMPUTER. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT NOR SAFE TO DRIVE A TRUCK THAT JUST STOPS WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ON A WEBSITE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND HAVE FOUND 10 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH VERY SIMILAR VEHICLE PROBLEM. I AM LEAVING WORK EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS AND AM THANKFUL I AM NOT TRAVELING HOME DURING RUSH HOUR; I'D LIKELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE ALMOST $2000. AND STILL NO TRUCK. FIRST OCCURRENCE ABOUT 10NOV, 2ND OCCURRENCE ABOUT 16NOV, 3RD WAS 5DEC. *TR

65 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY. MY JOB IS LOCATED 60 MILES FROM HOME, ONE WAY, ALL HIGHWAY MILES. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER RIDING WITH ME. IF I SLOW DOWN I CAN USUALLY REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, ONE DAY WE MAY END UP IN DITCH. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK HOPING FOR A RELIABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I, WHICH I DON'T FEEL I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED! I AM TERRIFIED FOR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, STEERING MAY GO OUT, AND I CAN'T MISS WORK DUE TO DODGE MISTAKES! WE HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 2MONTHS. SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS!

IF I GET A LITTLE BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY I LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL, ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEARS. BUT LATELY IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY STEERING BOX AND WHEELS MAINLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE LIKE IF I'M DRAGGING SOMETHING AND AS IF MY STEERING IS FALLING APART. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR CONCERN THAT I RECENTLY STOPPED DRIVING IT. *TR

TAKATA RECALL REPLACEMENT NOT AVAILABLE PER DEALER; I REQUESTED PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG BE DISCONNECTED AND DEALER REFUSED; NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE DEALERS TO DISCONNECT WHEN IT IS KNOWN THESE BAGS CAN KILL YOU UNTIL REPLACEMENTS ARE PROVIDED; ALSO I HAVE 3 SPOTS OF RUST ON MY HOOD AND ONE WHERE RUSTED ALL THE WAY THREW METAL
