Chrysler's execution of 13V‑528 & 529
RMD opened this audit query (AQ) investigation in order to better understand and evaluate Chrysler's process(es) for timely and efficient execution of its safety recall campaigns, including its oversight and management of its parts division Mopar.Prior to opening this investigation, RMD had raised concerns with the company related to its execution of two safety recalls, 13V‑528 and 13V‑529, both of which involved safety defects that could cause the involved vehicles, FCA?s heavier Dodge Ram trucks, to lose steering control suddenly and without warning.Specifically, RMD inquired about the availability of parts for recall repairs, by email and phone on January 15, 2014 and February 19, 2014, due to the volume of complaints it was receiving from owners alleging parts scarcity and parts restrictions. FCA steadfastly denied it had placed parts restrictions on its dealers to manage issues of parts scarcity.FCA shared material showing it had uncommitted stock of parts available for its dealers. Nevertheless, consumer complaints of lack of parts continued.RMD made independent inquiries tosome dealers tobetter understand the conflicting claims between owners alleging lack of ability to repair their defective vehicles due to lack of parts, and FCA?s information showing availability of parts.Dealers informed and provided documentation to RMD on February 21, 2014 and February 25, 2014 showing FCA had, in fact, put into place parts restrictions and, further, had in some instances canceled dealerships? back orders for parts.In addition, during the course of its dialogue with dealers, RMD discovered that FCA had notified their dealerships on February 27, 2014 to return the recall remedy parts over quality concerns, and had therefore effectively canceled its safety recall program without notification to the federal safety agency. RMD issued a request for information (IR) on October 21, 2014.The company failed to respond to a number of the questions RMD asked that required it to produce specifics surrounding the repairs and parts ordering process with the recalls, including a question about whether a dealer order for recall parts could be canceled and under what circumstances.

Stationary and motion low oil pressure dtc constantly coming active, possibly a ecu faulty or bad software loaded into it.. Steering constantly wanting to sway back and forth when in motion makes truck bounce back and forth from lane lines, had bearings,hub,struts,lower control arms,and rack and pinion replaced still no better if not worse, found that others are having this issue also believe that steering gear box that was installed when truck came from manufacturer is faulty and this is definitely a safety concern.
While driving city speeds ABS and parking brake warning light appear for 10 sec and then turn off. Did not affect driving. While driving at any speed over any size bump, front end makes significant clank, bang, wobble noise. Can't locate issue, nothing is loose. Replaced struts, problem persists. Seems to be coming from front passenger steering/suspension area. While driving at any speed when applying the brakes, significant shaking while braking. Several obd codes; improper oil weight, have used manufacture recommended oil for every oil change. Oil is changed every 6000 miles or 3months. Obd code; low voltage. Obd code; transmission overdrive clutch.
Rack and pinion steering failed, fortunately on a side street near a dealership and not on major highway, we reported sudden brake line failure in 2015 on same vehicle - still awaiting response. No warning either issue. We are now extremely concerned.. Recalls were done on 2008-2013 but believe a year was missed! Hope no one was killed or injured. Fortunate now this is 10 year old truck but no warning either instance.. This never should have happened.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 55 MPH in the snow, the steering capability was lost and the front wheels turned in opposite directions. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home where he discovered that the driver's side front tie rod was fractured. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing and repairs. The manufacturer was contacted, but was not able to verify if the VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 09e001000 (steering) because the computers were down. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
I was told the clock spring was the cause of the clicking noise. When the tech got into the steering to replace the clock spring it was not the problem. The problem was the steering column. This could be a safety problem if the steering column should lock up while I was driving my truck. The only way to fix the problem and make my truck safe again was to replace the steering column.
