WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL MONTHS AGO FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THIS VEHICLE. IT SAID CHRYSLER INTENDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE, HOWEVER THE PART WAS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. AS I SAID THAT WAS MONTHS AGO. WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. I CALLED MY DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT I COULD BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND WHEN CHRYSLER DECIDED THEY WOULD REIMBURSE US. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE, AND WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH, SHOULDN'T THEY BE REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH AT THEIR COST AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE? WE HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS AS IT IS TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED.

ON THE ABOVE DATE AND TIME I NOTICED A LEAK COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR, I CHECKED THE RADIATOR FLUID CONTAINER AND IT WAS BONE DRY. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE REMOVED THE COOLING FAN AND IT JUST FELL APART. HE SHOWED ME WHERE A PART OF THE FAN PUNCTURED MY RADIATOR, THEREFORE I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER RADIATOR AND FAN BLADE. I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THIS BUT HE SAID MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE LIST. SOME DODGE CHARGERS ARE TAKEN CARE OF BUT NOT MINE, WHY?
