The contact owns a 1994 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 01V037000 (Vehicle Speed Control) and 99V214000 (Suspension); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The local dealer and a second dealer, Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (5401 I-30 Frontage Rd, Greenville, TX 75402), were contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that they were not required to perform the recall repair because the vehicle was more than 10 years old. However, the vehicle was not more than 10 years old on the date the defect or noncompliance was determined. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

TRAUMATIC INJURIES TO ARM AND ABDOMEN; FAINT SOUND BRIEFLY WAS NOTICEABLE FROM CLOCKSPRING AREA PRIOR TO AIRBAG EXPLOSION; VEHICLE MOVING AT 5 MPH, SLIGHTLY TURNING RIGHT; NEVER A COLLISION OR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON STEERING COLUMN; WITH AIRBAG REMOVED THE PARTICULAR SOUNDS ARE MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED.

ALLEGEDLY, SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS GROUP <CHRYSLERSI@FCAGROUP.COM> WILL PROPERLY LOOK INTO THIS. I QUESTION WHETHER BREACH OF THE DUTY OF CARE, AND HARM CAUSED BY THE BREACH HAS OCCURRED. I NO LONGER FEEL RELATIVELY SAFE WITH DODGE RAM 1500 OR THAT CHRYSLER IS HONORING THEIR OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE A REASONABLY SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DRIVER. *TT *TR

I OWN AND DRIVE A 1994 DODGE RAM 1500. ON 4/13/05 I WAS DRIVING ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY WHEN THE SMALL CABLE THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE UNDER THE TRUCK BED IN PLACE SNAPPED. THE TIRE EXITED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND ENTERED TRAFFIC. MIRACULOUSLY, FELLOW MOTORIST TOOK EVASIVE MANEUVERS AND MISSED THIS TIRE AND WHEEL BOUNCING ALL OVER FOUR LANES OF ACTIVE TRAFFIC. I SPENT AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME UNTIL I LOCATED THE FAILED PART FROM MY TRUCK. I WAS VERY DISMAYED WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS TINY CABLE WAS ALL THAT RETAINED THE SPARE TIRE UNDER THE TRUCK. UPON INSPECTING EQUAL MODEL TRUCKS AT CAR LOTS I FOUND THAT THERE WERE NO SAFETY DEVICES TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE EVENT OF CABLE FAILURE. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT SHOWED NO SIGNS OF CORROSION, FRAY OR ANY RUBBING OF THE CABLE. IT SIMPLY BROKE CLEAN. I MERE SECOND EITHER WAY COULD HAVE BEEN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ACTUAL EVENT OR IT BEING FATAL. I AM A SWORN PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIAL, AND IT HORRIFIED MY THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN. ALSO, I AM VERY UPSET AT THE LIABILITY THAT THIS COULD HAVE PUT ME IN. I HAVE NOT HAD THE TRUCK REPAIRED NOR WILL I HAVE THE TRUCK REPAIRED WITH THE ONGOING FEAR IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I WROTE CHRYSLER ABOUT IT ONLY TO BE INSULATED AND APALLED AT THEIR RESPONCE. I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I INTEND TO PURSUE IT TO THE END. ANY ADVICE, INFORMATION OR ASSISTANCE PUBLIC SAFETY DIVISION ANDERSON, SOUTH CAROLINA 864-617-0889

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH A LOOSE IGNITION SWITCH FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HAVE NOT REPORTED IT UNTIL NOW BECAUSE I WAS UNAWARE THAT IT HAD BEEN A PROBLEM FOR OTHER OWNERS.

PROBLEM #1 ON 31 MARCH 1999, I VISITED MY GRANDSON IN CENTERVILLE, VA. I DROVE MY TRUCK THERE AND EXPERIENCED NO PROBLEMS.
