STRUCTURE:BODY
WHILE UNDER WARRANTY THE REAR PASSENGER AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AND IT WAS REPLACED. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THE PASSENGER AUTOMATIC FRONT DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AND I PAID TO HAVE A NEW ONE INSTALLED. NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK HAS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN THEY STOP WORKING THEY WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK USING THE KEY FOB OR THE BUTTONS INSIDE THE CAR. EACH TIME THIS OCCURS THE ACTUATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. SINCE KEEPING THE DOORS SECURELY CLOSED DURING A CRASH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

THE TRANSMISSION STICK SHIFT DOES NOT LOCK IN POSITION ONCE YOU PLACE THE CAR IN DRIVE. I NOTICED THIS WHEN I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS LEAVING WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY BUMBED THE SHIFTER. IT MOVED TO NEUTRAL. MY WIFE SAID THIS HAPPENED TO HER ANOTHER TIME WHEN SHE WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN OUR TOWN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD, THIS WAS THE WAY DODGE MADE THE JOURNEY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGHER SPEED.

NHTSA RECALL # 15V-431. RECALL NOTICE DATED JULY 28,2015 HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS INDICATED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO MAKE THIS REPAIR,MEANWHILE THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE, 15V-675, THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE REMEDY STATUS TO BOTH NOTICES IS INCOMPLETE. IS THIS NOT PUTTING THE SAFETY OF THE OWNER IN JEOPARDY? HAS THE MANUFACTURER NOT HAD AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO CORRECT AT LEAST ONE OF THESE PROBLEMS? THE FIRST NOTICE DATES BACK TO JULY AND IT IS NOW DECEMBER, ALMOST GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR. HOW LONG IS LONG ENOUGH?
