Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There was a recall on the track bar bracket in 2016. The dealership did not fix it then when we thought they did, and cleared it out of the recall system as if it was fixed. The bracket broke in 2018 and the dealership refuses to fix it because the truck has an aftermarket lift. Chrysler will not help either due to the lift. We bought the truck this way, and have no way to take the lift off as they are requesting. We want the recalled part fixed. The truck has had a death wobble since we purchased it due to this bracket. …”
NHTSA complaint #11073889, filed 2018-02, 102,000 miles“This truck occasionally after going over a bump in the road at highway speeds will develop a jarring, constant severe vibration in the steering wheel and suspension. From what I can tell this is the death wobble I have seen reported online. It is a very violent vibration that can only be stopped by slowing the truck below 25-30mph. It is so severe that it feels like you are going to lose control of the vehicle. This has now happened 4 times with this vehicle. It has approximately 44,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10811486, filed 2015-12, 44,000 miles“R46/NHTSA 15v-541. This recall concerns the front suspension track bar frame bracket welds. I have received three written safety recalls from FCA us llc; and have taken my truck into my dealer; prestige chrysler in las vegas, nevada at least six times; each time they tell me they have the brackets to weld on the truck; and then when I pick the truck up they tell me that they couldn't do it because the only brackets they have are for the four wheel drive truck. This concerns me because this is a one ton diesel dually truck that I use to tow my fifth wheel trailer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10894235, filed 2016-08, 15,000 miles“While driving the steering component brok on the vehicle which made it very unstable to drive. I had just driven the car from the dealership to home for repairs for two other warranty issues. They should have been aware of the faulty welding on the steering component at the time it was in the shop on 10/28-10/29/2015. I told them to have it towed to their shop but they ignore me and dropped an employee off to drive it. The employee attempted to drive the vehicle and almost ran off the side of the road. The employee turned around and brought the vehicle back. …”
