THIS COMPLAINT FOR THE REAR VENT SWITCH IS JUST TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE LENGTH OF TIME IT'S TAKING TO GET THE NEW SWITCH. HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE WHEN VANS PRIOR TO 2010 HAD A SIMILAR SWITCH THAT WORKED PERFECTLY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 3/14, & SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS USED VAN I CONTACTED DEALERS IN AZ IN 2/15 & THE WAITING LIST WAS TOO LONG. SO I WAITED UNTIL WE RETURNED TO MI, REPORTED IT IN 4/15, & WAS JUST TOLD THEY ARE JUST RECEIVING PARTS FOR THE MARCH WAITING LIST & SO IT WILL AT LEAST BE ANOTHER 2-4 MONTHS FOR ME. I WANT THIS FIXED BEFORE WE RETURN TO AZ IN DEC. CAN'T CHRYSLER BE SPEEDED UP??? THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).. *TR

FOR THE PAST YEAR MY VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT START WHEN I TURN THE KEY. SOMETIMES THIS WILL HAPPEN FOR ONE TURN, SOMETIMES FOR MANY TURNS, SOMETIMES FOR 10 HOURS OF ATTEMPTED TURNS. WHEN IT DOES FINALLY START THE VEHICLE PERFORMS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT IT TO, AS THOUGH NOTHING IS WRONG. SOMETIMES THIS "NO START" ISSUE IS A DAILY EVENT/ MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. SOMETIMES A WEEK WILL GO BY WITHOUT IT ACTING UP. IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS OCCURRING LESS FREQUENTLY. THE OCCURRENCE RATE AND SEVERITY HAS DEFINITELY INCREASED OVER TIME.

WHEELS
DRIVING ON NY STATE THRUWAY AT 1 AM FRIDAY NIGHT AND TIRE SENSOR LIGHT WENT ON BUT NO INDICATION ANYTHING OTHER THAN LOW TIRE PRESSURE. SOON AFTER THE CAR MAKES NOISE WE PULL OVER TO SAFE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SEE THE TIRE IS FLAT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT AND NO CRASH. BROUGHT CAR TO MONRO AS BEFORE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BEFORE. CAN CHECK WITH THEM WHEN. SO THE TENSOR BROKE OFF AS BEFORE AND WENT INTO THE TIRE. SHREDDED THE TIRE ON THE INSIDE AS BEFORE. I HAVE TO GET A NEW TIRE AGAIN AND NEW SENSOR. WILL COST ME A LOT OF MONEY FOR INFERIOR DESIGN AND MATERIALS FOR THE SENSOR. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND STRONGER MATERIAL SHOULD BE USED. ALSO A NEW DESIGN FEATURE LIKE SUBARU TO HAVE A FLASHING LIGHT IF THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE OTHER THAN JUST LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE DODGE JUST HAS A STAY ON LIGHT WARNING. SO HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW SENSOR NEW TIRE AND HAD TO PAY FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. CALLED DODGE AND FOUND OUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS ALREADY. THE WOMAN KIM, WILL REPORT THIS TO DODGE.

ATTEMPTING TO START OUR VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD ATTEMPT TO START, HOWEVER NEVER TURN OVER. THIS HAD HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE A BIT BACK HOWEVER AFTER TAKING OUT THE KEY AND TRYING AGAIN THE VEHICLE STARTED UP. THIS TIME WE HAD THE VEHICLE FLAT-BEDDED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THIS WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE AS THE OTHER TIPM ISSUES FROM THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED WITH THE NHTSA. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED THE TIPM FAULTY AND ALSO BELIEVE THERE IS A FUEL CONTAMINATION. WHILE I KNOW THE TIPM IS AN ISSUE, I AM NOT COMPLETELY BELIEVING THE FUEL SYSTEM HAS AN ISSUE.

I AM SORRY SEE THAT THIS ACTION HAS BEEN CLOSED!
