My dealer 30 day warranty expires tomorrow. I'm taking it to the dealer this evening. I cannot drive over 50 or the rear end comes off the ground when I brake to make my turn. Upon coming to a sudden stop the truck pulled hard to the right causing me to swerve into the grass. My front headlights (mostly right but cannot really see the left while driving) the lights shakes and bounces when I go over anything uneven. My right turn signal now doesn't go off and when I try to put it off my self the left turn signal activates! this went on back and forth a good eight times before both shut off. The vehicle shuts off randomly locking the power steering and brakes. I just purchased this vehicle and within a week the key wouldn't go into the ignition and once in wouldn't come back out. This all happened after I had my truck serviced for the air bag recall. But, I don't want to trade until I find out if this problem is subject to a recall. I have not reported this problem, mostly because I have been in the market for a new truck. My wife has been so upset with this happening, she refuses to ride in my truck anymore. I feel the problem is associated with a engine electronic control of some sort or other. I read on the internet that I am not the only one that has had this problem so that prompted me to file this report. I have not had a problem with this since the last time but I have been extremely careful to lightly apply the brakes when possible. The first time at highway speed of 70mph and the last two at 30 or 40 city mph. Each instance was while I was driving in a straight line. When the engine had to be restarted, it required a couple of attempts before it would engage and then ran rough for a short time before smoothing out. The first instance was a hard break situation to prevent an accident but the second two shutdowns happened with light breaking when approaching a red light. After traveling about one tenth mile the engine quit again as I was approaching a red light. Then, in December 2015 the exact same thing happened in the city after a moderate stop at a red light, again holding up traffic until the engine was restarted. After shifting to park, it took two attempts to restart the engine. I was the lead vehicle and had the left lane momentarily blocked until I could restart the engine. In September 2015 my truck engine shut off on I-20 w after a hard brake at highway speed while approaching a trailer with a wide load on a bridge overpass. My truck has randomly been malfuctioning for almost 2 years, while driving the posted speeds 45-75mph the tuck has stalled out causing me to lose all power with my infant daughter I have run into a ditched, nearly escaped other passenger collisons I have had the interior lights and dash lights shut off while driving at night time on non-lit roads forcing me off the road thankfully no imjuries have occuried, it is all due to a faulty tipm that Dodge refuses to acknowledge and wont file a recall your company claims that there is no safety defect to warrant a recall from the tipm, but how many people will have to die families and children for Dodge to fix the issue, it is a huge safety issue I wont put my child back in the truck and I wont drive it by myself, its almost impossible to to steer my vehicle when I lose all power without warning doing 65mph hours on a freeway, it is by the grace of god I am still alive and havent been seriously injured and im not willing to keep taking the risks. This vehicle has gone from being my daily commuter to a huge liability because I am not sure what will happen next. It now appears I am being forced to spend $1200 on a manufacturer defect. There also seems to not be a recall for this problem. The fuel pump relay on my vehicle seems to be integrated into the tipm and not serviceable. I found this to be more than common on many Dodge vehicles and obviously a very dangerous problem to have. In doing some research I found that this is typically in relation to a bad fuel pump relay. On my return I found the electric throttle control light on at the dashboard.
Now a few days ago my pregnant wife was driving the truck and it turned off on her in the middle of an intersection while I was working out of town. Luckily there wasn't much traffic during that time and the back part of the drive shaft is the one that broke off not the front so the truck didn't flip over. A few months ago on my way to work around 4am the drive shaft broke off and flew out at 75 mph. This vehicle has given me many problems and most recently very dangerous ones.
