POWER STEERING RETURN LINE BLEW DURING START OF VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER STEERING CONTROL

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING I NEEDED MY AIRBAG REPLACED BUT AFTER NOTIFYING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANY ACTIVE RECALLS AT THE PRESENT TIME. THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAKING NOISE FOR SOME TIME DESPITE ALSO BEING TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE SPECIFIC YEAR THAT I HAVE PURCHASED. LAST BUT NOT LEAST THERE IS A CONSTANT BATTLE WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAVE UPPER AND LOWER MOUNT BARS BUT THE RUBBER GIVES AWAY IN THE PART WHICH CAUSES A SWAY THAT MAKES YOU LOOSE CONTROL TRAVELING OVER 50MPH WITHOUT TOWING A LOAD. I HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO NOT USING THIS VEHICLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ALSO TO DATE THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN GIVEN A FULL OVERHALL AS OF LAST YEAR. AT THE TIME THERE WERE 120,000 MILES ON THE POWER TRAIN

COMPUTER CONTROL OF HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR AND DASH LIGHTING, AND POSSIBLY THE ABS SYSTEM AND THE INTERMITTENT WIPER CONTROL ARE AFFECTED. WITHOUT WARNING THESE SYSTEMS EITHER FAILED OR BECAME ERRATIC. VEHICLE EXHIBITS THESE MALFUNCTIONS BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, AND AT ALL SPEEDS. IT IS APPARENTLY NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE, AS PER INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. THE (TEMPORARY?) FIX IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR 15+ MINUTES, POSSIBLE CAUSE: THE COMPUTER CONNECTORS.

MY 2004 DODGE RAM 3500 WILL GO OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE ON ITS OWN AND I WAS NOT TOLD THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK MY TRUCK WENT ON ITS OWN ONE DAY OVER 250 FEET AND DROVE INTO MY NEIGHBORS YARD. THE TRUCK PARKING PAWL WAS NOT COMPLETELY IN AS I WAS TOLD AND THIS TRUCK HAS THE ABILITY TO DO IT ON ITS OWN I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND A HAZARD TO MY HEALTH AS LONG WITH MY NEIGHBORS. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL SENT TO ME OR ANYTHING TOLD TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THIS FROM THE CHRYSLER DODGE AT THE DEALER I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO AND POSSIBLE HAZARDS THAT ARE LINKED TO THIS COULD YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK WITH ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM. *TT *TR

VEHICLE OFTEN STALLS SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH EVERY FILL-UP, BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT.
