I WAS DRIVING PAST MY HOUSE, I PUT THE DRIVE TRAIN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL THE THROTTLE WENT WIDE OPEN. I TRIED TO STEER CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS BUT WHEN I HIT MY DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK WENT SIDEWAYS AND IT ROLLED DOWN A CULVERT AND ENDED UPSIDE DOWN. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DECLARED A "TOTAL LOSS". I SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS AND BRUISES BUT CAME OUT OK. I DOWNLOADED THE OBD2 DATA FROM THE COMPUTER AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND IT SHOWED CODE P0731 G PEND GEAR 1 INCORRECT RATIO???. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2008 RAM DATA. *TR

RECEIVED NOTICE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO, SAME STORY AS THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. DEALER STATES THAT THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS... NOT ENJOYING DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND THINKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION THAT WE'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS. HARD TO FATHOM WHY THEY EVEN BOTHERED TO SEND OUT NOTICE WITH NO ABILITY TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND REMEDY THE DEFECT. *TR

THE SEAT BEAT BUCKLE WILL HANG UP AND YOU CAN NOT UNBUCKLE THE SAFETY RESTRAINT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR I HIT A EXPANSION JOINT AS I WAS ON A SLIGHT LEFT TURN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ALMOST LOSING CONTROL UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO BELOW 30 MILES AN HOUR THEN THE SUSPENSION STABILIZED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MANY OCCASIONS SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT AND I HAVE LEARNED TO ANTICIPATE WHEN THIS MAY OCCUR AND EXPECT IT. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO HAVE SUSPENSION CHECK AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO PROBLEMS. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT I PUT A DUAL SHOCK ABSORBING STEERING STABILIZER ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS WAS DONE AND DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. *TR

THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN AN INCIDENT BUT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COMPLY WITH THIS SAFETY RECALL SINCE JANUARY 20, 2014 AND OUR DEALER DOES NOT YET HAVE THE PART FROM CHRYSLER TO REPAIR OUR TRUCK. WHY?? I BELIEVE THE DEALER TO BE HONEST IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN THE PARTS AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A DESIGNATED OPERATION TO PRODUCE AND PROVIDE THESE NEEDED SAFETY CORRECTIONS. *TR
