NHTSA Complaint #10850474 — 2003 DODGE RAM 2500

TRUCK HAS THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS THE RECALLED NEWER TRUCKS. IT MELTED THE FUSE BOX AND THE TRUCK WONT RUN. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE BOX, COMPUTER, ALL COILS, ALL PLUGS, ALL WIRES, THROTTLE BODY OVER 3,000.00 AND THE TRUCK STILL DOES NOT RUN. ONLY HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND TOWED BACK OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT TELL US WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. AFTER 3,000.00 OF LETS TRY THIS I CAN NOT AFFORD ANY MORE LETS TRY THIS OR THAT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MOST PEOPLE THINK THEY BROKE A VALVE IN THE HEMI MOTOR. I HAVE RUN A COMPRESSION TEST AND THIS IS NOT THE CASE. MY ISSUE IS ELECTRICAL AND I DON'T FEEL AS THOU I SHOULD HAVE TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CANT. THE TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WHICH THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND THEN IT ESCALADED TO THE POINT OF NOT RUNNING ANY LONGER. STARTED BY MELTING FUSES THEN MELTED THE FUSE BOX. AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IT TOOK OUT. WHEN SCANNED IT BRINGS UP DIFFERENT CODES EACH AND EVERY TIME. DEALERSHIP CHARGES FOR EACH AND EVERY WRONG PART THAT IS REPLACED AND THEN RESCANNED AND THEY ALSO CHARGE LABOR FOR EACH WRONG PART REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE. DRIVING 2 MILES DOWN A DIRT ROAD SPEED OF 25MPH, VEHICLE STARTED TO MISS AND JUST CONTINUED TO GET WORSE TO THE POINT IT WILL NOT IDLE. YOU CAN NOT HOLD A STEADY FUEL PEDAL AND KEEP IT RUNNING IT STALLS. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS RECALLED AND NOT AVAILABLE, TIE ROD ASSEMBLY IS RECALLED NOT AVAILABLE A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I ASKED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I CURRENTLY OWN A 2003 2500 HD YARD ORNAMENT. HOW CAN CHRYSLERS GET AWAY WITH THIS?
