DESPERATE FOR HELP I WENT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND I LEARNED THE FRAME WAS NOT ROTTED BUT THE BRACKET ON THE FRAME HAD ROTTED AWAY. THIS MECHANIC WELDED EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER AND I PAID HIM $400 OUT OF MY POCKET, AFTER READING SOME DODGE RAM FORUMS I LEARNED I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, LUCKILY FOR ME NOTHING BAD HAPPENED I WAS ONLY GOING 20 MPH ON A LOCAL ROAD , GAS TANK HAD JUST BEEN FILLED AND HOLDS 32 GALLONS OF FUEL , JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THIS SO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE WITH A WORSE OUTCOMES,

I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION IN MY SUBDIVISION TO LET SOME KIDS CROSS THE STREET. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE SLOWED DOWN LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE AND THEN SPED UP. THE CAR STARTED TO LURCH FORWARD. I PUSHED THE BRAKE DOWN THE REST OF THE WAY TO KEEP THE CAR FROM RUNNING OVER THE KIDS.

ABS LIGHT WONT EVEN FLASH OR GIVE WARNING AND TRUCK SLID A BIT. NO ACCIDENTS TO REPORT, YET. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER BRAKING WHEN THE NEEDLE DIPS BELOW 20 MILES PER HOUR. THATS WHY I GIVE PLENTY OF SPACE BETWEEN CARS WHEN APPROACHING A LIGHT JUST IN CASE THE TRUCK SLIDES. I HAVE COMPLAINED BUT DODGE KEEPS TELLING ME MY VIN NUMBER HAS NO RECALL FOR MY ABS ECU. THERE IS A RECALL FOR ABS ECU BUT NOT ON MY VIN NUMBER BUT I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE ABS RECALL. SO THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. YOU CAN FEEL THE BRAKES LOCK UP WHEN IT DOES IT. IM ALSO HAVING A PROBEM WITH MY IGNITION SWITH. AT TIMES IT WILL DO A NO START. THAT IS ALSO ON THE RECALL LIST BUT I WAS TOLD AGAIN MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T ON THE LIST BUT I HAVE THESE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE RECALL. NO ONE WILL REPLACE THESE ITEMS IF YOUR VIN NUMBER ISN'T ON THE LIST EVEN IF YOUR VEHICLE IS HAVING THE PROBLEMS REPORTED FOR THE RECALL. WHEN SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS THEN WHO WILL BE TO BLAME. MY VIN NUMBER WAS RECALLED JUST FOR AIRBAGS ONLY. THESE PROBLEMS NEED TO BE FIXED ASAP BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES MAY RESLT.

I LEASED MY CAR 2018 DODGE DURANGO , I HAD IT FOR A WEEK AND A HALF AND THEN IT STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. THE SCREEN ON MY CAR HAS BEEN REBOOTING FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW LEAVING ME WITH NO RADIO, GPS, BACK UP CAMERA, AND ALL OTHER EMERGENCY FUNXTIONS THAT COME WITH WITH SYSTEM. I GOT THE CAR BECAUSE OF ITS RADIO AND SYSTEM. NOW I HAVE A $50,000 CAR AND I CANT DRIVE IT BUT I STILL HAVE TO PAY AT THE END OF THE MONTH. THAT IS NOT RIGHT AND I NEED SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE FRAME IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FRAME BEGINNING AT THE TRAC BAR BRACKET. THIS MAKES STEERING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE STEERING HARDWARE BINDS. THERE WAS A RECALL (RCRIT-15V541-5721) FOR TRAC BAR BRACKET WELD FAILURES FOR VEHICLES FROM 2012 THROUGH 2014. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RELATED ISSUE THAT SERIOUSLY AFFECTS SAFETY. I'VE ATTACHED FIVE PICTURES.
