“WHILE MOVING TO SOUTH CAROLINA i NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING, A WIRE OR SOME TYP IF LINE, AS I CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK, I FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FUEL TANK STRAP. THE STRAP HAD PULLED OUT FROM THE FRAME THAT WAS CORRODED. I HAVE ALWAYS WASHED THE UNDER CARRIAGE COMING FROM MASSACHUSSETTS AND THE ROAD SALT. AT THE PRESENT TIME I AM USING A TIE DOWN STRAP TO SECURE IN PLACE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF RECALL BUT NEVER RECIEVED ANYTHING IN WRITTING.”
“The tailgate recall was supposed to have been fixed, but it didn't work. The tailgate has dropped down at least 4 or 5 times since the supposed recall repair. The last time, it hit the jack on the trailer I was pulling and did quite a bit of damage to the tailgate. I have already submitted this information to Mopar around the 15th and was told I would be contacted within 1 business day, but was not contacted. I have uploaded pictures showing the damage. I have not contacted the insurance company yet.”
“Front Fuel tank strap ripped out of the frame do to corrosion causing the front of the gas tank to drop almost 6 inches. I live in New York and read that the same issue has occurred on the Ram 1500 from 2009 to 2012”
“The tailgate fell open while I was driving December 1, 2021. I had closed the tailgate before pulling onto the roadway. I noticed a thump & stopped to check what had caused the noise. This had happened several weeks before & I thought maybe I had not closed the tailgate properly. This problem was supposed to have been fixed in a previous recall. Why would this happen again?”
“I HAD SAFETY RECALL U74 DONE IN JULY 2018 , IN MY TAILGATE . THE PROBLEM IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. AND I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY ISSUE IS HOW IS A SAFETY RECALL OUT OF WARRANTY AND TAT I HAVE TO FIX ON MY OWN NOW ? I AM SO UPSET AT THE TREATMENT . THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AGAIN.”
