ON 11/05/2014 I WAS DRIVING AND TURNED ON THE HEATER TO THE TRUCK AND STARTED TO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF DIESEL FUEL . I LOOKED AT THE FUEL GAUGE AND SAW I HAD FUEL SO I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. I LOOKED EVERY WHERE ON THE TRUCK AND ON THE GROUND I COULDN'T FIND ANY THING BUT YOU COULD SMELL IT REAL BAD. THE NEXT DAY ON 11/06/2015 I CALLED THE CHRYSLER 800 NUMBER 800-853-1403 MY SELF AND SPOKE TO XXXX I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPED AND ASKED ARE YOU HAVING ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THAT . HE SAID "HOLD ON AND SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF THAT AND THEIR WHERE NO RECALLS CONCERNING THAT" NOTE: WHILE WE WERE ON THE PHONE I WAS ALSO THE INTERNET AND FOUND A RECALL CONCERNING THE DIESEL FUEL HEATER HE SAID HE COULDN'T FIND ANY THING. I ASKED IS IT SAFE TO DRIVE HE SAID YES. NOTE IT WASN'T UNTIL TODAY I GOT ON YOUR SITE AND FOUND RECALL CONCERNING THIS MATTER AT THIS TIME IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. NOTE BECAUSE OF THE NEWS OF THE RECALLS THAT JUST CAME OUT YESTERDAY ETC ALSO MY OTHER SUBMISSION TO THE NHTSA TODAY ODI # 10744472 .IT IS MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT DODGE RAM 2013 MODELS SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR ACTION AGAINST CHRYSLER.

ON 01/14/2015 I WENT TO FUEL UP AT GAS STATION THE GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING EMPTY. I STARTED TO PUT FUEL IN MY TRUCK AND IT SPILLED OUT ALL OVER THE TRUCK AND GROUND. I TRIED TO PUT FUEL IN IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE TRUCK TOOK ONLY $1.72 IN FUEL. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED THEY RAN TEST ON IT. REPAIR THE CHECK BALL IN TANK WAS STICKING. THEY ORDERED A HOLE NEW TANK AND REPLACED TANK TRANSFER FUEL PUMP ALSO INSTALLED A NEW FILLER NECK, FLAPPER WAS STICKING ALSO AND REPLACED TUBE ASSEMBLY ## VIN PASSED ## DODGE RAM 2500 2013 ## THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE OPENED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR, THE MOLDING FROM THE TOP OF THE DOOR FELL OFF. THE MOLDING THEN FELL OFF THE DRIVER SIDE, TOO. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL # 14V635000. HE BELIEVED HIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO CONTROL AND HAD A VERY STRONG VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. THE STEERING WAS NOT CONTROLLABLE AND THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT HAD A FLAT TIRE. NO TIRE DAMAGE WAS NOTED UPON INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE STEERING AND RIDE ISSUES EVEN AFTER A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP

WHEN DRIVING ON ROAD THERE IS SOMETHING KNOCKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V635000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 7/28/15*CN

VEHICLE CAN BE PLACED INTO DRIVE WITHOUT HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER "FIXED IT" ONCE AND THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED.

RECALL: P65/NHTSA 14V-635 : DIESEL FUEL HEATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR: RECEIVED FIRST RECALL IN DECEMBER, 2014. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER (HADDAD DODGE, BAKERSFIELD, CA) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND WOULD CALL WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. AS OF 5-12-15, NO CALL AND NO REPAIR. RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE IN MAIL 5-10-15 FOR SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS LISTED AS AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL". IF THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, THEN WHY HAS 5 MONTHS GONE BY WITH NO PARTS AND NOW A SECOND NOTICE SENT. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT DODGE CORPORATE/DEALERS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR GETTING THE PARTS AND MAKING THE REPAIR. I CONSIDER 5+ MONTHS AS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. OTHERWISE, TAKE THE RED LABEL OFF THE FRONT OF THE NOTICE AND REMOVE THE WORD "IMPORTANT" FROM THE LABEL.
