THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED DUE TO THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THE TIPM FAILED ON MANY OF THE DODGE VEHICLES. THIS SYSTEM FAILURE IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2014. THE MILES WAS ADVERTISED AS 81,000. THE TITLE AND ALL OF THE PAPERWORK SHOWS 81,000. THE TITLE DOES NOT SHOW TRUE MILES UNKNOWN OR IT DOES NOT SHOW NOT ACTUAL MILES. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN COVINGTON, GA RAN A CARFAX REPORT OF THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2017 AND IT HAD DISCREPANCIES OF MILEAGE ROLLBACK. BASED ON CARFAX AND THE CALCULATIONS THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 330,000 PLUS MILES ON IT. I CAN NOT SELL THE TRUCK. I CAN NOT TRADE IT IN BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ROLLBACK. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I JUST FOUND OUT IN MAY 2017. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE OWNER WOULD NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE OWNER HAD ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES TO TELL ME THAT HE WILL NOT BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS AGAINST FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY VEHICLE IS COVERED UNDER THE SETTLEMENT IMPOSED AGAINST FIAT CHRYSLER TO OFFER BUYBACK OPTION TO OWNER BASED ON PURCHASE PRICE MINUS REASONABLE DEPRECIATION. HOWEVER, MY DEALER, FIAT CHRYSLER, BUYBACK HOTLINES, AND EVERYONE I HAVE CONTACTED ARE PASSING THE BUCK AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BUYBACK PROGRAM. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR 18 MONTHS. I AM ABOUT TO GO MEET WITH A SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER THIS MORNING, AFTER RECEIVING MORE IGNORANCE AND "I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT'S" YESTERDAY. FRUSTRATING. THERE ARE STEERING ISSUES, ELECTRICAL ISSUES, AND POWER TRAIN CONCERNS., AND IF SOMEONE GETS HURT IN THE MEANTIME WHILE I AM HAVING TO NAVIGATE THIS MESS, I WILL OWN FIAT CHRYSLER, NHTSA, AND WILL TAKE OVER THE BUYBACK NUMBER AND TURN IT INTO A PIZZA DELIVERY CALL CENTER.
