ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RANDOMLY LIGHTS UP WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES GOING OFF SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATING AND HEADLIGHTS FLASHING. STOPPING THE CAR, TURNING IT OFF AND ON DOESN'T RESET THE PROBLEM, BUT IT RANDOMLY GOES AWAY AND DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR TWO WEEKS OR A MONTH. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR IN MOTION, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. I SEE AN OPEN NHTSA INVESTIGATION MATCHING THIS ON MY VEHICLE, FOR A TIPMODULE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS INFORMED IN APPROXIMATELY 2013 OR 2014 OF A SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE AND KEY FOB. I RECEIVED ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATION THAT PARTS WERE READY IN EARLY 2015 REGARDING THIS RECALL. I HAVE TRIED TO SCHEDULE SERVICE FOR THIS RECALL WITH THREE SEPARATE DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN PARTS WILL BE READY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TURN OFF DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE DODGE PAPERWORK STATES THEY ARE CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY. AND THE RECALL SHOULD BE COMPLETE IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. IT HAS NOW BEEN YEARS SINCE NOTIFICATION, AND NEARLY A YEAR SINCE PARTS HAVE BEEN "READY" AND THE RECALL STILL ISN'T COMPLETE. ACCORDING TO DODGE STATISTICS, AS OF OCT 26, 2015, ONLY 192,616 OF 724,503 VEHICLES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THIS IS NOT IN A REASONABLE TIME AND I FEEL AS IF DODGE IS SLOW ROLLING THIS RECALL TO SAVE THEMSELVES MONEY. THIS RECALL IS SIMILAR TO A 2010 RECALL.
