I TOLD THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING SHOWING ON THE COMPUTER! GLAD IT WAS NOT A BUSY INTERSECTION OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A WRECK. I WONDER IF THAT WOULD SHOW UP ON THE COMPUTER? I WAS JUST PULLING OUT OF THE CAR WASH, THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO CARS COMING AS I HAD TO TURN OF THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT FOR THE THROTTLE TO RECONNECT!!!

AT FULL REPLACEMENT PRICE.

I HAVE TALKED TO THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AT AUBURN HILLS, MI. AND WAS TOLD HE IS NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" TRUCK STALLS WHILE DRIVING. WAS SERVICED AT AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO STALL, CLAIMED IT WAS PCM MODULE, REPLACED, VERY COSTLY. STALLING BEGAN AGAIN, RETURNED TO DEALER, WAS CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD NOTHING WRONG. TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES IN STALLING. ONE EVENT WITH CHILDREN GOING DOWN A HILL AND LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE, COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS. RESEARCH ONLINE FINDING OUT COMMON ISSUE IN IGNITION SWITCH/MODULE. CONCERNED WHY DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO OVERLOOK THIS? I AM ALSO SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE UNNECESSARY SERVICES AND CHARGES TO THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING MY DODGE RAM 2012 HOME FROM THE GYM, MY TRUCK JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER 100 YARDS IT DIED AGAIN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. ALSO IT HAS PROBLEM STARTING EVERY NOW AND AGAIN. BROUGHT IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY SAID ITS THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH THEY SAID THE DODGES AROUND THIS YEAR ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THIS AND THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS ALL THE TIME. AFTER A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH IT WAS EASY TO SEE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
