FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, AIR BAGS
I BELIEVE MY CARS HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11 2015, WE DROVE THE CAR AND IT HAD GAS AT THE TIME, SUDDENLY THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF ON THE STREET. ON MY GAS METER OR GAGE IS ALWAYS READING IT ON EMPTY WHEN IT HAS FUEL. IT'S ALSO SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE NOW. WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A USED CAR DEALER AND IT'S STILL BEING FINANCED. HOW CAN I KNOW IF IT'S A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT HAPPENED TO SAY THAT THIS GAS PROBLEM HAPPENS TO THE DODGE MAGNUM 2005-2006, IF IT'S A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM DO I CALL THE DODGE DEALER AND WILL IT BE FIXED BY THEM. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN, I CAN'T DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE. WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS AN AIR BAG RECALL, WHICH THE DEALER HAS NOT FIXED BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS IT'S BEEN OVER 3 WEEKS SINCE WE RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE BY MAIL.

POWER TRAIN
POWER TRAIN - "SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH" - VECHILE STUCK IN PARK - DODGE WILL NOT PERMIT OUR VECHILE TO BE COVERED BY THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER." BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE CORRECT MODEL AND YEAR, OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION. I SAY IT IS THE SAME SMALL PLASTIC FLIMSY PART KNOWN AS THE "SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER "THAT BROKE. JUST AS IN THESE OTHER VEHICLES COVERED BY THIS RECALL. DEAR NHTSA, PLEASE MAKE THIS CHRYSLER RECALL K39 "TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER" TO COVER "ALL" 2005-2009 MODEL DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM, CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER.

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT, I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT FAILURE TO PERFORM RECALL WORK. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FCA INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL IN MAY OR JUNE. I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE DEALERSHIP, FREMONT CALIFORNIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, IN JUNE TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR WAS AFFECTED BY AIRBAG RECALL R25 / NHTSA 15V-313, AND THAT I SHOULD WAIT FOR THEM TO CONTACT ME WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TWICE IN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD ONLY ADD MY NAME TO A WAITING LIST. I CALLED AGAIN AND LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE PARTS DESK TO PLEASE CONTACT ME TO LET ME KNOW WHEN I WOULD GET PARTS. THEY DID NOT RETURN MY CALL. I SENT A WRITTEN MESSAGE TO THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE OR RETURNED CALL. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER THREE MONTHS, AND THEY WILL NOT RESPOND OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE - THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR A SAFETY RELATED RECALL REPAIR.

CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING ADDITIONAL SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. WHY ARE THERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS A PRESENT DANGER TO THE DRIVERS LIVES? WHY SEND OUT NOTICES IF THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THE THREAT? DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT SAVING DRIVERS LIVES?

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR WAS IN GARAGE AT HOME. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND WAS GOING TO BACK OUT OF GARAGE BUT COULD NOT GET SHIFTER OUT OF PARK. HAD CAR TOWED TO DODGE DEALER. SERVICE REP SAID HE'S SEEN OTHER MAGNUMS, 300'S AND CHARGERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. $510.00 LATER THE CAR WAS FIXED...ENTIRE SHIFTER ASS'Y WAS REPLACED AND CAR RUNS FINE NOW. NO INDICATION OF TROUBLE BEFORE IT BROKE BUT THIS MAY BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER CARS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.
