DRIVING ON THE ROAD WENT TO STOP LIGHT TRUCK DIED WHEN CAME TO COMPLETE STOP. STARTED UP AND THEN WENT TO STOP SIGN DOWN ROAD AND IT STARTED TO IDLE DOWN TO 250RPMS THE ENGINE CAUGHT AND IDLE BACK TO ABOUT 500RPMS. WENT TO GYM NEXT DAY WHILE BACKING IN TO PARKING SPOT GOING IDLE SPEED THE TRUCK IDLED LOW AND DIED. NOW IT IDLES ABOUT 250RPMS AND SOME TIMES TRUCK SHAKES HAD LICENSE MECHANIC CHANGE PLUGS AND WIRES FOR THE HEMMI MOTOR AND STILL DOES IT TODAY (04-27-20015). THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT IN PARK IT STAYS AT IDLE SOME TIMES ABOUT 500RPMS BUT DOES TEND TO GO TO 250RPMS. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM DICK POE DODGE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I GOT THERE THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS BECAUSE DODGE ONLY SEND 2 OR 3 OF THE PARTS. THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP CALLING. SO I CALLED THE 1-800 NUMBER TO DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL DICK POE TO GET ON A WAITING LIST. I CALLED DICK POE AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T DO THE WAITING LIST BECAUSE OF WHAT DODGE DID TO THEM LAST TIME. THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE ENOUGH PARTS FOR THE PEOPLE ON THE LIST. SO HERE AM DRIVING AROUND IN AN UNSAFE TRUCK AND I CAN'T GET HELP FROM THE FACTORY OR THE DEALER. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS PLACE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WHERE ACCIDENT HASN'T HAPPENED, BUT I NEED HELP. *TR

I HAD JUST MERGED ONTO A FREEWAY ON-RAMP WHEN,, W/O WARNING, THE TRUCK SHIMMIED AND SOUNDED A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH SENT IT SPINNING TOWARD THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. I HAD JUST COME OVER THE MOUNTAIN PASSES AND WAS LUCKY TO HAVE NOT HAD IT HAPPEN THERE. UPON GETTING OUT AND INSPECTING THE VEHICLE IT WAS OBVIOUS WHAT HAD HAPPENED: THE REAR SECTION OF DRIVE SHAFT WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND AND HAD DISCONNECTED ABRUPTLY FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I'VE HEARD THIS IS FAR FROM THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE14019) AND HENCE FEEL THE NEED TO ADD TO THE CATALOG OF REPORTS. *TR
