STEERING, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS TAKING MY FAMILY (WIFE, 18 MONTH OLD, 2 YR OLD, AND 4 YR OLD) TO GET SOME ICE CREAM AFTER A HOME DEPOT TRIP. AS I TURNED LEFT ACROSS A BUSY STREET THE STEREO SUDDENLY BLINKED OUT, AND THE ENGINE DIED, ALONG WITH POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND EVERY ELECTRICAL FUNCTION. IT SIMPLY BLINKED LIKE ALL POWER WAS LOST FOR A MOMENT, AND WAS ENOUGH TO KILL THE ENGINE, AND LOOSE ALL POWER ASSIST FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. THANKFULLY I HAD MOMENTUM AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE SIDE STREET WITH OUT BEING T-BONED BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. I WAS SENT RECALL P57/NHTSA 14V-567 IN THE MAIL IN NOVEMBER 2014, BUT THERE WAS AND STILL IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL WHICH APPEARS TO BE DIRECTLY LINKED TO MY INCIDENT. HOW MANY FATAL ACCIDENTS ARE GOING TO OCCUR BETWEEN NOW AND THE FIX FOR THE KNOWN ISSUE? DODGE CAN BUILD A BRAND NEW [XXX] BETWEEN NOVEMBER AND TODAY, BUT THEY CANNOT MANUFACTURE A $.50 PART. DID THEY NOT LEARN FROM CHEVY? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
