TAKATA RECALL. ON 2/4/2016 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO COURTESY CHRYSLER/DODGE/RAM LOCATED AT 9207 ADAMO DRIVE EAST IN TAMPA,FL. THE AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS REPLACED. AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF OF THE DEALER'S LOT I NOTICED THAT THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT AND ALARM WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE, ALTHOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM DID NOT EXIST BEFORE MY VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER A NEW SEAT BELT BUCKLE AT A COST OF $125.00 + LABOR. I REFUSED TO ORDER AND PAY FOR A PART TO FIX A REPAIR THAT DID NOT EXIST PRIOR TO MY VISIT. I WAS MAKING AN 11 HOUR DRIVE THE NEXT DAY TO START A NEW JOB AND I NEEDED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. THE PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT AND ALARM STILL CONTINUE TO GO OFF AND ON ALTHOUGH I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEATBELT. NOTE THAT I CALLED THE FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA) RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER ON 2/4/2016 AFTER I RETURNED FROM THE DEALER. I DESCRIBED THE SEATBELT PROBLEM BUT FCA WAS JUST AS UNCARING AS THE DEALER.

BRAKE AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON... THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT SHOULD ONLY COME ON WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR IF THE PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED. A BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WHEN THESE CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET IS A FALSE WARNING AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED ! THIS OCCURS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND WILL CLEAR UPON RESTART. A FALSE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IS WORSE THAN NO LIGHT AT ALL SINCE IF A REAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE DOES OCCUR THE DRIVE WOULD BE UNAWARE. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON MOST DODGE TRUCKS.

TRUCK SHIFTED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF. EVENT OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATION IT WAS 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I NOTICED TRUCK WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN I WAS SLOWING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND FRONT TIRES WERE HOPPING AND JERKING UNTIL I STOPPED. I THINK THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND THAT THE TRUCK SHOULD FAILSAFE AND NEVER ALLOW THE TRUCK TO GO INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IF SOME COMPONENT IN SYSTEM FAILS. A WARNING LIGHT SHOULD COME ON AND THE SYSTEM SHOULD BLOCK ANY ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. LUCKILY THIS EVENT OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED AND WITHOUT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.
