ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE. I CAME TO FIND OUT THEY HADN'T. THE IGNITION ISSUE 14V-567 AND 15V-313 HAVE NOT BEEN DONE. THERE WERE 3 OTHER ISSUES THAT HAD TO BE DONE BY ANOTHER DEALER BECAUSE DEARTH MOTORS COULDN'T DO THE WORK. THEY PAID FOR THOSE. I HAD TO PAY OVER $400 DOLLARS FOR NEW IGNITION SWITCH AND KEYS AND WAS NOT HAPPY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS GONE ON 3 DIFFERENT LIGHTS. THEY SAY THE CODE WAS CLEARED AND KIT WENT OFF. IT CAME ON AGAIN YESTERDAY. FRUSTRATION AND DECEIT DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO COVER MY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW. THEY ALSO CLAIM THE PARTS FOR THE RECALLS AREN'T AVAILABLE. NOT A SUFFICIENT ANSWER.

THE VEHICLE IS STOPPING FOR UNKNOWN REASONS WHILE DRIVING. PHONE DODGE CHRYSLER IN CERRITOS REGARDING THE RECALL THAT IS AFFECTING MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE OR R25 AS REQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THE CURRENT TIME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THE VEHICLE IS CUTTING OFF FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. I WAS TOLD BY DIANE THAT ALL I COULD DO IS GET ON THE WAITING LIST THAT EXTENDS OVER TWO MONTHS AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE.

ENGINE
VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH IGNITION SWITCH, SOMETIMES AS SOON AS I START THE CAR THEN ENGINE WILL DIE. I THOUGHT INITIALLY THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND I LET IT PASS BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT HEAVILY USED, BUT STARTED SEEING ONLINE THAT PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. I TRIED SWITCHING KEYFOBS BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, I'VE NEVER HAD THE ENGINE DIE ON ME WHILE DRIVING, BUT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD HAPPEN. I NOW HAVE REMOVED EVERYTHING FROM MY KEY CHAIN FOR THIS CAR AND BASICALLY DRIVE THE CAR WITH ONLY A VERY LIGHT KEY RING ATTACHED TO THE KEY. I ALSO HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE CAME TO ME. THAT WAS LAST YEAR! I'VE REPEATEDLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. A FEW WEEKS AGO (TODAY IS 9/24/2015) I GOT A NEW NOTICE TO TAKE THE CAR IN, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, GOT THE CAR IN THE SHOP; SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME IN THE AFTERNOON STATING THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE PARTS!! AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY'LL BE AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL (P57) AND (R25) ARE ISSUES THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING. TO ME IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT MAKING SURE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

WE GOT THE FIRST RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH MONTHS AND MONTHS AGO WHICH ADVISED THAT THE DEALER WOULD CALL US WHEN THEY GOT THE PART. WE STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK WHEN THEY WOULD BE GETTING THE PART TO FIX THE CAR. THEY HAD NO IDEA. WE CONTINUED TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER. AT THE SAME TIME WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOU. THEY SAID YES, THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND ORDERED THE PART ON AUGUST 13, 2015. WHILE WAITING FOR THE PART, WE GOT ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL FOR THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE WHICH SAID TO CONTACT THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAVE THE DEALER HOLD THE PART OR ORDER THE PART BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT. AS I SAID, THEY ORDERED THE PART AUGUST 13, 2015, SIX WEEKS AGO. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART. WITH THE IGNITION NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND ALL WE GET WHEN WE CALL IS THAT IT IS NOT IN.
