For a while we've had problems with the truck trying to shift in 4 wheel drive low without us doing anything. We replaced the actuator a couple of times. It drove ok for a month then, the truck started acting up again. We replaced the fuel pump, then 2 days later we had to replace the the transfer case plus the TIPM and another actuator. We had this truck into 3 people to find out what the hell was wrong with it. There would be days that we were driving, stopped at a stop sign then couldn't go anywhere. The truck would grind and make noises. If Dodge knows there is a problem then why isn't there a recall!! I'm not made of money! This took a huge chunk out of our budget!

My wife was driving my son to school. Doing about 45 mph and lost all power to the truck! Lost power steering and all control of the truck. Luckily she was able to stop and no injuries or damage occurred but it could have been much worse had she been on the freeway!

Done with Dodge!
