ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECEIVED A WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE DEFECT SAFETY RECALL FROM CHRYSLER IN JULY 2014. YOUR DATA BASE SUGGESTS MAY 2015 AS THE DATE, BUT IT'S WRONG. THIS IS MUCH OLDER. THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS L25 NHTSA 14V-373. THE FIAT CHRYSLER HOTLINE FOR RECALLS HAS THE NUMBER AS R03. THEY HAVE FAILED TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, BECAUSE THIS IS 14 MONTHS. A REASONABLE TIME MIGHT BE A FEW WEEKS, I THINK. I CALL DEALERS HERE IN THE ST LOUIS AREA, THEY PROMISE TO CALL ME WHEN PARTS ARE IN. I CALLED THE RECALL HOTLINE FOR FIAT CHRYSLER, I COMPLAIN TO MY STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR CONSUMERS, AND GET NOWHERE. ALL I HEAR IS "WE CAN'T GET THE PARTS." WELL, I KNOW MANY, MANY MODEL CARS ARE IN THIS RECALL; NOT ONLY GM, BUT JEEP, DODGE, ETC. BUT I CAN'T HELP IT -- I AM THE ONE WHO IS IN TROUBLE FOR THE FAULTY IGNITION AND FOBIK, AND THIS PACKAGE HAS FIAT CHRYSLER'S NAME ON IT. IT'S TIME TO TWIST THEIR ARMS REALLY HARD. THIS IS SAFETY. THE SAFETY RECALL HOTLINE AT CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS THEIR PART, AND THEY'RE NOT DOING IT, AND I QUOTE, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU." WELL, TELL THEM....... I THINK I SHOULD BE GIVEN A CAR TO DRIVE THAT IS SAFE UNTIL THEY CAN DO THIS REQUIRED RECALL. OR THEY CAN REFUND MY CAR PRICE AND THE PRICE OF MY LIFT EQUIPMENT INSTALLED FOR A SCOOTER LIFT IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. I'VE HAD IT. WAITING AND HOPING ARE NOT GETTING US DRIVERS ANYWHERE. THEY'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING AND NOW BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DIES.

MY DODGE CARAVAN IS AFFECTED BY THE 14V-373 RECALL. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE BEEN ON THE "WAITING LIST" FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND IT MAY BE ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO UNTIL MY NAME GETS TO THE TOP OF THE LIST. SINCE IT HAS BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL IS ISSUED I FIND IT VERY UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE PARTS FOR THIS SERIOUS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

THE IGNITION FOBIK GETS STUCK IN THE SOCKET FORCING THE CAR TO STAY IN ACC AND EXHAUSTING THE BATTERY. THE CAR CAN BE RESTARTED WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS USUALLY RELEASES THE FOBIK. THIS OFTEN INVOLVES FORCIBLY SHOVING THE TRANSMISSION LEVER FROM D TO P. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE L25 AND R03 RECALLS AS SOMETIMES YOU CAN HEAR AN ELECTRONIC NOISE WHEN THE FOBIK IS LOCKED OR RELEASED. MY PRIMARY COMPLAINT IS THAT I'VE CALLED THE DEALER 4 TIMES OR SO OVER THE LAST YEAR SINCE L25 CAME OUT ASKING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY FULFILLING THE RECALL. EACH TIME THE DEALER, RAINIER DODGE, SAYS THEY WILL ORDER PARTS AND GET BACK TO ME, BUT NEVER DOES. I WILL BE CALLING AGAIN THIS WEEK AFTER PROBLEMS OVER THE WEEKEND. I'M VERY DISSATISFIED WITH CHRYSLER'S RESPONSE TO THIS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM.
