The vehicle was, in motion, on city streets or and highways, accelerating, turning, braking, etc., the fault or problem that created the unsafe condition to be fuel/propulsion system-includes systems that manage energy to power the vehicle such as fuel tanks, pumps, injectors, filters, pipes/lines and hoses for gasoline and diesel vehicles, and for electric, hybrid, hydrogen, lpn/natural gas or other alternative power vehicles including high voltage batteries and energy storage devices, controls, safety disconnects, pressure relief valves, and other safety related devices that may present a safety hazard the component parts or system that I believe may be the cause of the safety risk. After my best assessment of the incident and cause in my description. The vehicle was taken to two known mechanics for an estimate, and an auto service for a computerised diagnosis. I have other information - repair invoices, diagnosis reports, police accident reports, insurance claim forms, etc. - I can not scan them electronically and upload them along with my complaint at this time. The wheels were not properly assessed or replaced according to standards later causing our accident and injuries. This complaint is also about the recalls. The recalls are air bags: Passenger side frontal issued March 27, 2017 recall id 275880, air bags: Frontal: Driver side inflator module issued June 8, 2015 recall id 275947, and electrical system: Ignition: Switch issued March 27, 2015 recall id 242136.

Truck will idle at 100 rpms and every once in awhile it will stall out as I am rolling up to a stop light. The truck will cut off without warning. The truck will start back up with no issues after this happens but this seems that it could be a serious issue especially if you have no control when it stalls out at low rpms.

I have tried on many times too arrigo Dodge in West palm beach, Florida too complete the safety recall.they have refused too address the issues with this truck. I have complained to the Dodge motor division more times than a few, they turn a blind-eye to the dealership. This truck was a lemon from the show-room floor, I have replaced the computer, emissions system, fuel injection system, wiring harness, and many more repairs.the brake system is very dangerous, someone is going too get a serious injury from this issue. The truck also suffers from sudden acceleration, at any given time. I have called the Chrysler rep countless times, and they have a care less attitude, I voiced my opinion on the chat line, and...they were quite amused at the possibility of a crash or injury. I want a complete investigation of the dealership, the factory, and bring in the department of justice on these criminal activities ! please do something soon, this is a matter of life and death !

Dropped truck off for detailing. Truck was off. When employee tried to start truck battery was dead. After jumping battery, it started but once driven 50 feet to park, the truck key could be turned off, key removed, but truck still running. Could not get it to turn off. Electric windows closed themselves, air conditioning would not operate. Dash board lights came on. Manual brake was set and could be released, but light never went out. Truck was about 90 degrees in Hawaii heat, so couldn't drive it to Dodge dealer with no air and windows inoperable. Scary. Had it hauled to dealer on truck while it was running. Dealer said battery drained and tipm needs replacement, and then further investigation. Est. $3,000 already for repairs. In month leading up to this, vehicle had vibration. Dealers replaced fuel injector, rear end differential, brake pads and rotors and calipers, all which had passed an inspection just a couple months earlier. Cost estimate on these combined $3,000 also. Saw recall 05V461000 online for 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 transfer case. Could this be related? I had similar thing happen with my Dodge nitro which was on recall.
