SEAT BELT WOULD NOT UNBUCKLE WHEN WE STOPPED THE TRUCK WIGGLED OUT BEFORE IT TIGHTENED UP AND NOW IT IS PERMANENTLY BUCKLED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMEONE IS IN AN ACCIDENT AND CAN'T UNBUCKLE IT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES I HAVE SEE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V312000 (AIR BAGS); 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.

MY 2015 CHARGER IS HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES. PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN THE CAR WOULD JERK TO EITHER SIDE AND THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW POWER STEERING RACK. CAR WAS A YEAR OLD WHEN PURCHASED, AND A YEAR LATER, IS HAVING THIS MAJOR ISSUE. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DEFECT, OR IF SOMEONE TRIED TO MODIFY CAR IN SOME WAY, OR IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED BY ME AND THAT INFO WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME. THE CAR WAS USED AS A PERSONAL VEHICLE BY THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM, AND WAS ONLY TOLD THAT INFORMATION AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS ISSUE KNOWN, IN CASE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.AGAIN, IN MY OPINION, THIS CAR IS TOO NEW TO HAVE THIS KIND OF ISSUE, SO SOON. ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.

THE CAR WILL STARTLE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS UNTIL ONE DAY IT JUST STOPPED RESPONDING WHENEVER I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ONLY DRIVE NO MORE THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR, MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES AND SMELLING BURNT. I HAD TO STOP AND PULL TO THE SIDE AS I WAS DRIVING.IIT WAS SO SCARY BECAUSE I HAD MY DAUGHTER WITH ME AND WAS IN A HIGH TRAFFIC STREET.
