TAKATA RECALL
2001 DODGE RAM VAN 1500 HAS MAJOR FRAME ROT ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FRAME GOING TO BUMPER. TO REPAIR IT WOULD BE COSTLY AND WE CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AND A MECHANIC TOLD ME IF IT BREAKS WE WILL LOSE STEERING CONTROL. I HAVE SEEN THE SAME ON OTHER RAM VANS ALSO. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL OR FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE VAN HAS 169,000 MILES AND IS A CONVERSION VAN.
I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR THAT ADDRESS ISSUES ALL AFFECTING MY VEHICLE YET THEY DO NOT SHOW ON A VIN SEARCH OF OPEN RECALLS. MOST OF THESE RECALLS AFFECT BRAKES BOTH IN INCREASED LONGEVITY IN STOPPING AND LEAKING AT THE REAR AXLE, HEADLIGHTS IN TERMS OF FEDERAL STANDARDS ON LUMINOSITY, TIRE SIZE CONCERNING LOAD SIZE ( HAVE HAD MORE THEN SIX BLOWOUTS IN 15,000 MILES), AIR BAGS DISABLING DUE TO SOUND DAMPENER AND THE CORRESPONDING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTING INEFFECTUALLY DUE TO THESE ISSUES.
DIFFICULT TO GET THE GEARSHIFT OUT OF PARK. A RECALL HAS BEEN DONE ON THE IGNITION/PARKSHIFT INTERLOCK FOR AN ISSUE "THE IGNITION/PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE.". THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE PART THAT HAS FAILED IS NOT THE SAME AS THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL AND WANTS OVER $2,000 FOR A NEW STEERING COLUMN OR OVER $1,000 FOR A JUNKYARD STEERING COLUMN. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AGREES WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN HOW THE IGNITION/PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK IS NOT RELATED TO THE IGNITION/PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK. *TR
