I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 7 DAYS AGO. I HAVE DISCOVERED A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT ONLY PRESENTS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. AT LOW SPEEDS IN, TURNING, OR WHILE MANEUVERING THROUGH TRAFFIC THE TRUCK WILL CHUG AND THEN DIE. LEAVING MY VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. IT HAPPENED TWICE AFTER FUELING FRIDAY, AND THEN AGAIN THREE TIMES AFTER FUELING TODAY. TWO OF THE THREE TIMES I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST IN A COLLISION BY UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS TURNING ONTO A SHARP ON RAMP TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY IT DIED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP AND NOT AT THE TOP WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC. AND THANKFULLY MY WIFE WASN'T DRIVING, BECAUSE WITHOUT POWER STEERING HER AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE LIKELY STRAIGHTENED OUT THE ON RAMP AND FOUND THEMSELVES AT THE BOTTOM OF A STEEP BANK. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION A COLLISION WOULD BE HIGHLY LIKELY WITH FATALITIES FOR SURE. THE PROBLEM LASTS FOR ABOUT THE FIST TEN TO FIFTEEN MILES OF DRIVING, AND DIES AT LOWER SPEEDS 0-25 MPH. I HAVE READ ABOUT NHTSA INVESTIGATIONS INTO OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES PRESENTING THE SAME ISSUES, AND WHERE THE WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THESE WARRANTIES MUST BE EXTENDED TO THE 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 AS WELL IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC AND KILLED.

TAKATA RECALL GOT RECALL NOTICE 1 YEAR AGO. DEALER STILL UNABLE TO REPAIR. TRUCK SPENT FROM NEW UNTIL 2014 IN SOUTHERN CLIMATE, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES AIR BAG DANGEROUS. DON'T LIKE DRIVING AROUND WITH POTENTIAL BOMB AT MY CHEST.

WHEN KEY IS HIT (SUCH AS WITH KNEE) ENGINE WILL TURN OFF. SAME AS GM PROBLEM. WHEN BROUGHT TO ATTENTION OF DEALER, WAS TOLD THEY COULD REPLACE IGNITION SWITCH AT MY EXPENSE.
