MY 2012 RAM 3500 IS SUBJECT TO THE BUYBACK COURT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. MY PROBLEM IS THAT I WISH TO PROCEED WITH THIS OPTION TO HAVE MY DEFECTIVE RAM SOLD TO THE BUYBACK BUT OVER THE LAST 15 MONTHS OF JUST TRYING TO PROCEED THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS 100% CORRUPT, CROOKED, FRAUD , CRIMINAL MISCONDUCT AND I WISH TO PROCEED NOW STILL UNABLE TO HAVE ANYONE HELP OR ASSIST WITH MY TRUCKS BUYBACK, YES IT'S STILL MY DAILY DRIVER AND I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THIS CLASS ACTION COURT SETTLEMENT IS AND WAS A TOTAL SCAM ,FAKE ,FRAUD , PRESS PLEASER YET CROOKED AREA PERIOD AND I AM SO SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT I CALLED EVERYONE FROM CRYSLER ,FIAT , DODGE ,RAM THE DEALERS EVERYONE AND ALL SAID SAME TO MY DESIRE TO PURSUE MY BUYBACK RIGHTS ( WE DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING OF HOW THIS WORKS OR HOW TO PROCEED WITH REPURCHASE . ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE I CALLED TO INCLUDE HE VERY NAMES LISTED UNDER THE SETTLEMENT AND ALL REMAIN UNKNOWLEDGED TO HOW THIS WORKS. TALK ABOUT MAJOR CORPORATE SCANDALS BUT MORE CRIMINAL INTENT IS WHY IS THERE NO ONE ANSWERING TO THE COURTS OR SETTLEMENT OF SATISFACTORY BUYBACKS ..? I KNOW WHY SADLY. TYPICAL GOVERNMENT,CORPORATE CORRUPTION!!! IT'S NOW FEBRUARY 2017 TWO YEARS FROM THE BUYBACK COURT ORDER AND WELL I STILL HAVE MY UNSAFE RAM 3500 WHICH NOW IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE YET HOW IRONIC NO ONE HAS A DAM CLUE OF HOW OR WHAT TO DO WITH THIS AGREEMENT. I PLAN TO TAKE THE WHOLE INVOLVED SYSTEM TO COURT TO ANNOUNCE WORLDWIDE OF THIS MAJOR CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD APROX A MILLION VICTIMS AS THEY ARE ALL TOSSED TO GUTTER THE DAY AFTER THE BIG PRESS ANNOUNCED THIS HUGE BUYBACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 3500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V739000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. AFTER HITTING AN ELEVATION BUMP WHERE A BRIDGE AND MAIN HIGHWAY JOIN THE STEERING IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SHIMMY VIOLENTLY. LOSS OF CONTROL WAS POSSIBLE. I BELIEVED I HAD A BLOWOUT OR STEERING LINKAGE FAILURE. I PUT ON THE 4 WAY FLASHERS AND MANAGED TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE SHIMMY DISCONTINUED AFTER I SLOWED BELOW 40 MPH.. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A DISASTROUS AND EVEN FATAL SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE IS SOMETIMES USED TO TOW A 5TH WHEEL RV. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE" INFORMATION I FOUND ON LINE. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND UNACCEPTABLE!! I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 3500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V739000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR THE WEEKEND IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ON MONDAY MORNING ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR WORK THE TRUCK STARTED CRANKING OVER. THE TRUCK WAS LOCKED AND THE KEYS WERE INSIDE MY HOUSE. BEING A STANDARD WHILE IT WAS CRANKING IT WAS HEADING IN REVERSE. NO VISUAL FLAMES WERE SEEN BUT HEAVY WHITE SMOKE WAS POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HAD TO USE MANUAL KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND PUT TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, I THEN ROLLED THE TRUCK DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN UNHOOKED THE 2 BATTERIES AND SMOKING STOPPED. AFTER THINGS CLEARED I COULD SEE BURNT/MELTED PLUG ENDS FROM WIRING HARNESS TO FUSE BOX. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR (6) WEEKS NOW. END OF WEEK 5 THEY GOT IT TO START UP BUT NOTHING ON THE COMPUTER PAST THE FIREWALL READS. TO DATE THEY HAVE REPLACED (3) WIRING HARNESSES, THE FUSE BOX AND A CLUSTER AND STILL AT A LOSS AT WHY COMPUTER WILL NOT READ ANYTHING. AS OF TODAY THE ENTIRE INTERIOR IS OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THEY ARE CHECKING EVERY CONNECTION, RELAY AND WHAT EVER ELSE THEY CAN TO GET IT FIXED. THERE WAS ALSO AN INSPECTOR THRU CHRYSLER CARE WHO INVESTIGATED IT BEFORE WORK WAS STARTED. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TO OPEN AN INSURANCE CLAIM. THANKS FOR THE HELP.
