ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
30JULY2013 TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO NOT STARTING AND LEAVING MY WIFE STRANDED. DEALERSHIP REPLACED IGNITION. 14SEPT2013 BACK TO DEALERSHIP WITH SAME SYMPTOMS. SHOWS KEY IN IGNITION WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK DOORS, RADIO STAYS ON, DASHBOARD LIGHTS STAY ON, DO NOT NEED KEY WITH CHIP TO START TRUCK. BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND FIXED IGNITION. 1OCT2013 BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR SAME IGNITION ISSUE. DEALERSHIP OPENED CASE STAR CASE WITH CHRYSLER. TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT WHEN KEY WAS NOT PUT IN COMPLETELY STRAIGHT IT LOCKS A TUMBLER CAUSING THIS ISSUE. DUPLICATED SAME ISSUE ON 2 NEW DODGE RAM TRUCKS ON THEIR LOT. ENGINEER FROM CHRYSLER ADVISED ACTING AS DESIGNED AND RESOLUTION IS TO RE-EDUCATE CUSTOMER HOW TO INSERT KEY. I (THE CONSUMER) OPENED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER MYSELF ([XXX]AT 800-992-1997 WHICH IS ALSO TIED TO THE DEALERSHIP STAR CASE THEY FILED) TO ESCALATE FOR A BETTER RESOLUTION. BESIDES THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE AT CALL BACKS AND UNABLE TO REACH ANYONE IN MANAGEMENT (I HAVE A DETAILED LIST OF PEOPLE, CALL TIMES, DATES, EMPLOYEE IDS) I ALSO RXD THE SAME RESOLUTION, NO ISSUE FOUND, ACTING AS DESIGNED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DUPLICATED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER TRUCKS AND NO CLUE WHEN ISSUE COULD OCCUR CAUSING VEHICLE TO NOT START, UNABLE TO LOCK DOORS (IF MY WIFE IS STRANDED SHE WILL BE UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS), AND POSSIBLE POWER DRAIN AS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON AUGUST 26TH I WAS TRAVELING IN MY TRUCK AT ABOUT 58MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. AS I ENTERED A 45MPH SPEED ZONE I TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE. THE TRUCK MAINTAINED SPEED SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL MANY TIMES WITH THE TRUCK NOT SLOWING DOWN. I THEN HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES QUITE HARD TO SLOW DOWN. WHILE DOING THIS I NOTICED A MESSAGE COME UP ON THE INFO SCREEN WHICH READ SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. AFTER STOPPING I CHECKED TO SEE IF SOMETHING LIKE A FLOORMAT WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WHICH THERE WAS NOT. THIS SAME SITUATION HAPPENED AGAIN ON AUGUST 30TH. I CONTACTED SOUTH LAKE MOTORS, THE LOCAL RAM DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SEPT. 4. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN AND THEY FOUND A CODE IN THE COMPUTER, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IN THE FOLLOWING 2 WEEKS THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN FROM A SPEED OF BETWEEN 55 AND 60MPH, EXCEPT I DID NOT HAVE THE CRUISE ON. THEY LOOKED IT OVER AGAIN ON SEPT 19 AND DECIDED TO PUT A NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN IT ON SEPT. 20TH. THE NEXT DAY IT STUCK AGAIN AS I TRIED TO SLOW FOR A TRUCK TURNING IN FRONT OF ME, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END THAT VEHICLE. SEPT 27TH I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON OCT 7 I ONCE AGAIN DROPPED MY TRUCK OFF AT THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT IT FOR 5 DAYS TRYING TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ON OCT 13 WHILE TRAVELING AT 45MPH I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE TRUCK MAINTAINED SPEED, I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW IT DOWN TO NEGOTIATE A CORNER WITHOUT WRECKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIME SINCE THEN. ON OCT 21ST I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY INSTALLED A DATA RECORDER TO RECORD THE EVENTS.THE MECHANIC AND OTHER DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEES HAVE TOLD ME THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER DAILY TELLING THEM THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. *TR
