RAKATA RECALL. DOES NOT WANT CRANK TURNS OVER BUT WILL NOT CRANK SETTING STILL RE SET THE COMPUTER WILL CRANK SOME TIMES 107784 MILES

THE MEMORY SEAT "FRAME" HAS CRACKED AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUE DOES NOT ALLOW THE SEAT TO AUTO OR SELF ADJUST. CURRENTLY CRACKED PARTS AND PHOTO OF SAME ARE UNKNOWN UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP GETS TO REPAIRING THE ISSUE.....WHICH IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS AGE AND MILEAGE. REPORTED ON AUGUST 2, 2017.

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER (SHUT OFF/STALLED) WHILE IN MOTION ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS; 1ST TIME VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 80MPH ON FREEWAY; BRAKES AND STEERING LOST POWER FUNCTION MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PULL OVER TO EMERGENCY SHOULDER AND AVOID POSSIBLE COLLISION; EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION; 2ND TIME VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING FROM STOP TO APPROXIMATELY 20MPH ON CITY STREET THEN LOST ALL POWER, HAD TO COAST VEHICLE ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER OUT OF BUS LANE; VEHICLE WAS NOT OUT OF GAS, NO MALFUNCTION INDICATORS WERE ON, VEHICLE WILL NOT START (AS IF FUEL PUMP FAILED) TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OR ANY SPEED AND LOSING ALL POWER IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. ADDING THAT MOST PROBABLY TOW TRAILERS, ETC...MAKES THIS EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS. ALSO, WE ARE IN AZ WITH EXTREME HEAT, TRAVELING WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN, AND TO BE RANDOMLY STRANDED WITH ZERO POWER CAUSES ADDITIONAL LIFE THREATENING HAZARDS I PERSONALLY REQUEST, AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FINDING AN ALARMING AMOUNT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND THOSE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY WAY OF REQUIRED RECALL AND RESOLUTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. ALSO, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO FUNCTION AGAIN AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (ACADEMY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT 5080 ACADEMY LN, BESSEMER, AL 35022, (205) 545-8052) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

ITS A SIN AND A SHAME THAT THESE BRIGHT MINDS WENT AWAY FROM THE STANDARD I PIECE RELAY IN THE FUSE BOX TO THIS COMPUTER MESS EVERY MORNING I GO TO WORK AT 4 AM AND I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ON AND LET IT SIT FOR 10 TO 15 MIN BEFORE IT WILL START AND THEN DURING THE DAY IF I LET IT SIT FOR MORE THAT AN 1 HR I HAVE TO LET IT SIT ANOTHER 15 MIN BEFORE I CAN START THE TRUCK I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL DODGE/CHRYSLER OWNER SINCE 1999 AND UNTIL NOW HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY UNTIL NOW IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FIX IT AT NO CHARGE THATS THE WAY A REAL MANUFACTURER KEEPS ITS CUSTOMERS HAPPY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE. FOR A WHILE TRUCK WOULD JUST LOSE POWER AND JERK AT HIGH SPEED. ONCE IT DIED COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING AT A MODERATE SPEED. EVENTUALLY IT JUST WOULDN'T START AT ALL. PURCHASED THE EXTERNAL RELAY KIT AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. SINCE THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TIPM IN MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES, I'M ANNOYED THAT THIS WASN'T PART OF A RECALL. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE DANGER OF A VEHICLE TURNING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION.

"TAKATA RECALL " FIRST BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2015. 2ND DAY I HAD IT ALMOST COUGHT ON FIRE 78000 MILES SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY. 2017 99000 MILES LIFTERS ARE TICKING AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO START IT FREAKS OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IF YOU TRY AND START IT ALL THE LIGHTS FLASH THEN IT'S GOOD FOR A MONTH

I HAVE A LOUD WHINING AN NOW IS A LOUD GROWLING IN DIFFERENTIAL OR REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AT ALL SPEEDS. I SAW ON THE INTERNET WHERE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2009 THRU 2012 DODGE RAM TRUCKS 1500 SERIES. SUPPOSEDLY CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED THESE TRUCKS BUT TWO CALLS TO CHRYSLER TODAY APRIL 13, 2017 THEY ADVISED ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON REAR WHEEL BEARINGS OR DIFFERENTIALS. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A LOCK UP OF THE REAR GEARS AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AT ANY SPEED. PLEASE CHECK AND ADVISE ME AT EMAIL [XXX] OR PHONE [XXX] I HAVE PARKED THE TRUCK UNTIL I HEAR FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT AS I DO NOT WANT TO HURT ANYONE.
