ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN WE WENT TO CRANK THE CAR, WHICH CRANKED JUST FINE 2 HOURS EARLIER, IT WOULD NOT START. THE IGNITION WOULD TURN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. ALSO ALL LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS WOULD NOT CUT ON. AFTER DOING WEB RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION ( WIN MODULE). I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DODGE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START OR MOVE. THEY REPLACED THE WIN MODULE AND IT RUNS FINE. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD GET REIMBURSED THROUGH CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT IS A RECALL PART. I PAID 450.00 FOR THE REPAIR. NOW CHRYSLER CORP. IS TELLING ME I WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT RELEASED THE PART. AND BETTER YET WHEN I GET A 2ND NOTICE OF THE RECALL, I STILL HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO FIX THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS MY SON'S ONLY WAY OF GOING AND HE WORKS FULL TIME. IT SAYS ON THE RECALL WEBSITE THEY WILL REIMBURSE YOU SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET MY MONEY BACK? SHOULD I GET A LAWYER? PLEASE HELP! *TR
