Recall Date: Dec 20, 2017
Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 10,000 lbs, 2011-2017 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, 2009-2017 Ram 1500 and 2010-2017 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, all equipped with a column shifter.

Potential Risk:
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP(PEP BOYS) FOR CHECKING OF A SLIGHT WOBBLE IN THE DRIVE LINE OR DRIVE SHAFT OF MY VEHICLE. MY 2016 RAM 1500 HAD JUST COME OUT OF THE PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN THE WOBBLE STARTED AT 60MPH. WHILE SEARCHING SEVERAL WEBSITES, FORUMS, YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE, I CAME UPON MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT RAM EVIDENTLY KNOWS ABOUT. RECENTLY I HAD BEEN TO THE RAM DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL. I MENTIONED TO THE TECHNICIAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE WOBBLE, WHICH BECAME A CONVERSATION WHICH QUICKLY BECAME AVOIDED BY TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE TECHNICIANS. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE TROUBLESOME NOW THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AND DRINKS IN THE DRINK ARE A CONSTANT SHAKE! NOW THAT THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND MAY EFFECT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WITH THIS VIGOROUS SHAKE. WHEN I SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE REGARDING MY ISSUES AND MANY OTHERS, THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO A TWO PIECE DRIVE SHAFT WITH A RUBBER BUSHING OF SOME SORT AND THE UNIVERSAL JOINT THAT CONTACTS THE REAR END.

WHILE SEARCHING SEVERAL WEBSITES, FORUMS, YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE, I CAME UPON MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT RAM EVIDENTLY KNOWS ABOUT. RECENTLY I HAD BEEN TO THE RAM DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL. I MENTIONED TO THE TECHNICIAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE WOBBLE, WHICH BECAME A CONVERSATION WHICH QUICKLY BECAME AVOIDED BY TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE TECHNICIANS. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE TROUBLESOME NOW THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AND DRINKS IN THE DRINK ARE A CONSTANT SHAKE! NOW THAT THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND MAY EFFECT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WITH THIS VIGOROUS SHAKE. WHEN I SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE REGARDING MY ISSUES AND MANY OTHERS, THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO A TWO PIECE DRIVE SHAFT WITH A RUBBER BUSHING OF SOME SORT AND THE UNIVERSAL JOINT THAT CONTACTS THE REAR END.

WE WERE IN THE STORE APPROXIMATELY 20 MIN LOOKING FOR A COUNTERTOP THEN WENT TO SIT DOWN WITH THE SALES SPECIALIST. ABOUT 5 MIN INTO THAT CONVERSATION THE SECRETARY IN THE FRONT YELLED "YOUR TRUCK IS DRIVING OFF". I IMMEDIATELY RAN OUT THE DOOR TO FIND MY TRUCK ABOUT 25 YARDS AWAY AND ACROSS THE MAIN ROAD. THE ROAD DID NOT HAVE CURBS BUT DID HAVE STEEP CULVERTS ON BOTH SIDES (NOTE: I WOULD NOT THINK A TRUCK AT IDLE WOULD MAKE IT UP TO THE ROAD) THE TRUCK "TOOK OFF" PER 3 WORKERS THAT WERE NEAR BY IN THE LOT MOVING A LARGE SLAB OF GRANITE, AND A SIMI DRIVER WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD STATING THAT BOTH MY RAM AND HIS TRACTOR HIT TIRES AND THAT'S WHAT GOT MY TRUCK TO STOP. EVERYONE THAT WITNESSED THIS STATED THE DOG WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND NO ONE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS I APPROACHED THE TRUCK IT SOUNDED TO BE RUNNING AT IDLE AND WHEN I GRABBED THE DOOR HANDLE THE LOCKS UNLOCKED AS NORMAL. I FOUND THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND RPM AT NORMAL IDLE RANGE. THE TRUCK ALLOWED ME TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK. I THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK, MOVED IT BACK TO THE PARKING LOT. THE BUSINESS HAS SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE OF THIS SHOWING HOW MY TRUCK UN TAMPERED WITH WENT FROM IDLE AND PARK FOR 25ISH MIN TO DRIVING ACROSS THE ROAD AND I AM CURRENTLY PERUSING A COPY OF THE TAPE. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND I WAS TOLD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT LATE NEXT WEEK (EARLIEST AVAILABLE) FOR AN INSPECTION, AND UNTIL THEN TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE EVERY TIME. TRUCK APPEARS TO BE DRIVING AS NORMAL. THE STORE WAS AROUND 15 MILES AWAY, TRUCK WAS PARKED ALL NIGHT LEADING UP TO EVENT.
