The vehicle will intermittently stall when stopping or stopped at a traffic light or stop sign. It can be immediately restarted. It will also intermittently flash a check engine light with chime while driving down the road. This has been an ongoing problem since purchased in 2008. It happens with cold or warm engine. It may happen once a week, once a month, or several times in one day. Usually more frequently when the air temperature is below 65 degrees. There are no codes stored and no check engine light displayed (other than the intermittent light & chime).. the dealership says there are no tsb's covering my engine/transmission. There are hundred of similar complaints online with owners 4.7 engines in other Dodge & Jeep products. Many people have spent well over $1,000 on this problem and not solved it. We recently moved from a rural area to a large city. Dealing with this problem in heavy traffic is very stressful. We recently started transporting a baby in this vehicle and the impatience of other cars waiting for us to restart ours leads to other vehicles to take aggressive actions which will eventually lead to an accident.

Dealer advises that Chrysler is declining to perform P77 recall, citing lack of availability of parts. Chrysler has made a verbal offer to purchase this vehicle which is less than my assessment of the vehicles worth. They have now told me that I must come and collect my truck from the dealership (after them having the vehicle from 12/31) today and they are declining to perform the recall service.

I have proof of findlay Dodge paper work claims and of the place that actually fixed my truck with repair cost parts etc. Truck only has 57K miles.

I was driving on the highway, slowing down to get off the exit, doing approximately 40-45 mph. I my passenger and I heard some strange noises in the rear and then suddenly the rear wheels locked up, causing the truck to bounce around violently. I bought the truck in December of 2016, this incident happened mid November 2017. Upon doing some research I found the recall, and followed up with some calls to dealers. This issue was supposedly resolved in March 2016 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, I purchased the vehicle in lewistown Pennsylvania. My truck is currently sitting at a dealership where it has been since December 14, and they tell me it might not get in the shop until after the new year. I contacted Dodge, they tell me they can not help me until after a diagnostic. I am reaching out to you in the event they deny my claim under the recall warranty. The shop manager at the local dealership tells me even with a diagnosis he can't say for certain the recall was repaired properly or not, which would leave me with a huge bill for something I believe is their fault for not using proper parts or not repairing the part properly under a recall warranty.

Takata recall & rear differential pinion nut I have received two recall notices for this vehicle. The reality is that I live on an island (kodiak, Alaska) on which there is no Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership. To get the vehicle to such a dealership would require a ferry ride of over 10 hours (each way) and the expenditure of over $500. I called the fca recall assistance center, explained the situation, and asked them to authorize a local non-Dodge dealer or repair shop to do the work. They refused, saying I would have to pay for the repair myself and then seek reimbursement.
