THERE IS AN IGNITION RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT THERE ISN'T ANY PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T REGISTER THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WON'T START. I'VE REPLACED BATTERIES IN THE KEY AS WELL AS REPLACED THE KEY LAST YEAR. NORMALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL REGISTER THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND START. LATELY IT HAS BEEN TAKING LONGER AND LONGER. (USE TO BE 5 MINUTES, THEN 10, LAST WEEK 20 MINUTES, TODAY 45 MINUTES.) THIS CAR IS GOING TO LEAVE ME STRANDED SOMEWHERE AGAIN. I ALREADY GOT STUCK IN ALABAMA DUE TO VISITING HERE WHEN THE NOTORIOUS 2.7 JUMPED TIMING DUE TO THEIR FAULTY DESIGN AND I HAD TO GET THE ENGINE COMPLETELY REBUILT. I LOST MY JOB IN MICHIGAN, RUINED MY CREDIT BECAUSE I GOT BEHIND IN PAYMENTS DUE TO PAYING FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE AND DODGE CAN'T/ WON'T FIX THEIR MISTAKES. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I ALSO HAD A CAR ACCIDENT IN 2013 WHERE I WAS STRUCK BY A DRUNK DRIVER AND THE AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF. NOW I AM HEARING THERE IS AN AIRBAG RECALL AS WELL WITH NO REPLACEMENT PARTS.

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES STARTING MY CAR A FEW YEARS AGO (APPROXIMATELY 2), THE KEY WOULD TURN BUT IT WOULDN'T START UNLESS I MOVED THE KEY EITHER UP, DOWN, OR TO THE SIDES. DODGE FINALLY REPLACED THE PART ( I CAN'T THINK OF THE NAME BUT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER). I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER AND THE PART WAS REPLACED AGAIN. EARLIER THIS YEAR, APPROXIMATELY LATE JANUARY, I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CALLED DODGE. THEY SAID THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WEREN'T SURE WHEN THEY WOULD RECEIVE THE PART. SINCE THEN, I HAVE LOST THE LIGHTING ON MY DASH FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND AIR-CONDITIONING/HEATING DIALS. THIS OCCURRED WHEN I STARTED MY CAR AND IT SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. I CALLED IN REGARDS TO FINALLY HAVING THE LIGHTING FIXED TODAY AND THAT PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM, IS THE IGNITION SWITCH, I HAVE TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR, SOME DAYS WORSE THAN OTHERS. I ALSO HAVE TO CHECK THE KEY BY TAPPING IT WHEN IT'S STARTED TO MAKE SURE IT'S IN THE "RUN" POSITION. A HANDFUL OF TIMES I'VE TAPPED IT AND THE KEY HAS TURNED BACK TO THE LEFT, KILLING THE CAR. THANKFULLY I'VE BEEN PARKED EVERY TIME. I'VE CALLED DODGE ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEY STILL HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE PART AND HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD A DEFINITE DATE AS TO WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PART. THIS ISSUE IS NOT ONLY FRUSTRATING IT'S DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. I'M TIRED OF CALLING DODGE ONLY TO HEAR EVERY PART I NEED IS ON BACKORDER. I TRU

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
