I WAS JUST MADE AWARE OF THE NEW BUY BACK RECALL AND FINE, ON SIMILAR DODGE RAM TRUCKS LIKE MINE. THE RECALL SHOW 2004 DODGE RAM 2600, 3600, BUT NOT MY 1600. THE REASON FOR THE BUY BACK WITH THE OTHER TWO MODELS JUST ALSO HAPPENED TO MY 1600. IT IS ALSO ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHERS. I WOULD LIKE MY INCLUDED IN THE BUY BACK AND GET RID OF THIS LEMON. MY VIN # DOES NOT SHOW ANYTHING BUT AN AIRBAG ISSUE, THAT I NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON. VIN # IS: [XXX]. THANK YOU, I STILL OWE OVER EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE VEHICLE WHICH IS ABOUT KELLY BLUE BOOK PRICE HERE IN HAWAII. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I CONTACTED DEALER IN FEBRUARY 2015 ABOUT THE RECALL R25-NHTSA-15V-313 AND ITS NOW JULY 2015 AND THEY SAY THEY CN ONLY DO 1 OR 2 TRUCKS A MONTH AND I AM NUMBER 35 ON THE LIST SO AT THIS RATE IT MAY TAKE 2 YEARS TO GET THE TRUCK FIXED UNDER THE RECALL

AS STATED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT INTERSECTION OF DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF YOU RIDE THE BRAKE AND GAS, YOU CAN KEEP FROM STALLING. THIS INCIDENT STARTED TO HAPPEN AFTER A SMELL OF GAS VAPOR SMELL AFTER FILLING TANK. RESEARCHED STALLING AND GAS SMELL, WAS LED TO OTHER SCALP NOTICE FOR HEMI GAS TANK DUE TO ETHANOL GAS CAUSING THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK TO EXPAND AND NOT CLOSE. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK YOU GET LIQUID GAS IN THE PURGE VAPOR CANISTER AND LINE. THIS GIVING YOU THE GAS SMELL UPON FILLING. I HAVE STOPPED FILLING THE TANK PAST 3/4 AND HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE. KIND OF DISAPPOINTED THAT OTHER HEMI MODELS GAS TANKS WERE RECALLED, BUT NOT THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

POPPING AND GRINDING IN REAR END POPPING IN THE CV AXLE FRONT TIRES LEANING IN AND WEARING ON INSIDE WITH NEW TIRES AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT HAVE ADDED NEW CALIPERS ROTORS BRAKES 2 NEW CV AXLES AND THE PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED

I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OR MILEAGE AS THE FIRST FAILURE'S WERE LOW IN FREQUENCY. THE TRUCK DIES AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. YOU CAN BE UP TO SPEED BUT NORMALLY HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER FILL UP AND ENTERING TRAFFIC. NO TROUBLE LIGHTS ARE SHOWING ON THE DASH AND TRUCK NORMALLY STARTS BACK UP FAIRLY EASILY, ALTHOUGH SOUNDS FLOODED. NOW THE TRUCK DOES THIS AT ALMOST EVERY FILL UP. NO CODE DIAGNOSTICS ARE SHOWING. I HAVE REPLACED THE EGR AND SPARK PLUGS, NO CHANGE.
