ALL POWER CONTROL TO STEERING, BRAKING AND MANEUVERING WAS LOST, ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE DID NOT APPEAR TO SHUT OFF. THE FIRST INCIDENT CAUSED MY WIFE TO END UP IN A DITCH WITH THE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT SAY THIS IS RELATED TO THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 14V373000/ CHRYSLER L25 RECALL BECAUSE THE ENGINE DID NOT APPEAR TO SHUT OFF.

THE VEHICLE SHUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AFTER A RED LIGHT TURNED GREEN. THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME STARTING RECENTLY AND WE BELIEVE IT'S DUE TO THE IGNITION RECALL. WE CONTACTED OUR DEALER AND THEY SAID A BAD KEY PROBLEM IS SEPARATE FROM THE WIN MODULE DETENT RING PROBLEM. THEY INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND SAID A BAD WIN MODULE IS THE CAUSE FOR NOT STARTING. MY BELIEF IS THAT THE LOOSE DETENT RING CAUSED A FAILURE OF THE KEY DUE TO A BAD CONNECTION FOR YEARS. I'M ALSO AFRAID WE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THE RECALL AS THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE. WE CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE SAFETY WISE FOR US UNTIL THE RECALLED PART IS MANUFACTURED. I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD PROVIDE US A RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL THEN THEY SAID NO. SO I SAID YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING DANGEROUS AND YET THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO AND WE ARE TOTALLY ON OUR OWN IF WE GET INJURED, TO WHICH THEY REPLIED "YES". WE WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST DODGE/CHRYSLER FOR NOT LOOKING OUT FOR OUR SAFETY. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I CURRENTLY AM BUYING A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS PART OF THE RECALL FOR FAULTY IGNITION MODULE. THIS HAS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SPORADICALLY NOT START, EVEN AFTER A COMPLETE DAY OF DRIVING. THIS ISSUE STARTED SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VAN ALMOST 2 YEAS AGO. I WAS TOLD MY KEY NEEDED REPROGRAMMED, PAID TO HAVE IT DONE AND THIS HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT FIXED THE ISSUE , AS IT CONTINUES TO PROGRESSIVELY WORSEN. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT RESTART. I HAVE SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY BOTH SAY THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT EVEN DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT THINK THAT THE RECALL IS THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT EVEN IF IT IS THE RECALLED PART THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THE 2009 AS OF YET. I FEAR THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE FUNCTIONAL MUCH LONGER AS THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR ON NOW A DAILY BASIS. THE DEALER INSISTS IT IS SOMETHING ELSE ANY OTHER TIME I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM AND JUST TRIES TO JUST SELL ME ANOTHER PART THAT WILL NOT FIX IT. SO WHAT ARE OTHER OPTIONS OTHER THAN PAYING FOR A CAR THAT IS NON FUNCTIONAL OR GIVING THE CAR BACK LOOSING ANYTHING I HAVE PAID ON IT AND BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE? *TR

FILED COMPLAINT ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER AND EXPLAINED THE VEHICLE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMED THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THEY STATED THEY WOULD DOCUMENT THE URGENCY OF MY REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED 2 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN OVER THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT MAKE SURE I REMOVE ALL OBJECT FROM MY KEY RING. I REALLY DO NOT THINK THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT HAD A POWER FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST STOPPED, READY TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH. HOW CAN THE PARTS NOT BE AVAILABLE WHEN IT WAS JUST RELEASED ON THE NEWS THAT CHRYSLER ORDERED THE PARTS EVEN BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. ALSO, 32 DEATHS POSSIBLY RELATED TO THIS DEFECT. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE OF AN URGENT MATTER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I AM NERVOUS DRIVING, WHICH I HAVE TOO IN ORDER TO GET TO WORK, SCHOOL, SHOPPING. THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT AMERICAN MADE CARS, AND THIS IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I RECEIVE. I HOPE CHRYSLER IS READY FOR MORE LAWSUITS. ITS A SHAME PEOPLE HAVE TO GET HURT OR EVEN DIE FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *TR

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL ON MY CARAVAN, IN JUNE 2014, IT SAYS THIS WAS A SAFETY RECALL, AS OF THIS MORNING TUESDAY 11 AM NOVEMBER 11, 2014. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM CHRYALER, AND NOTHING FROM THE DEALER. I CALLED THE DEALER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE "ANY PARTS" FOR THIS RECALL, I SAID THIS WAS UNSATISFACTORY SINCE IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 5 MONTHS, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TRANSFERRED ME TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT, AND THE PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAVE NOT RECIEVED "ANY" PARTS FOR THIS RECALL, AND HAD NO IDEA WHEN THEY WOULD!. THE RECALL NOTICE STATED IF I HAD CONCERNS WHICH THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE, I SHOULD CALL THEIR CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 800-853-1403. I ALSO CALLED THIS NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THEY "ALSO HAVE NO IDEA WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL". I TOLD THEM THIS WAS COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY, SINCE I DRIVE WITH CHILDREN MUCH OF THE WEEK, AND SINCE THE RECALL IS ALMOST 5 MONTHS OLD I WANT ACTION. THEY TOOK MY MAILING AND EMAIL ADDRESS, AND SAID THEY WILL EMAIL ME WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THIS ALSO IS ABSOLUTELY UNSATISFACTORY FOR A "SAFETY RECALL" THIS IS A "SAFETY" ISSUE????? EVIDENTLY CHRYSLER AND POSSIBLY NHTSA??? DO NOT THINK IT IS, PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

IN OCTOBER OF 2013 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING TO THEM MY CAR STALLS WHEN IT COMES TO AN INCLINE IN THE ROAD I'M TALKING MERE INCHES, NOT CLIMBING UP GIGANTIC HILL.

IF I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE TIRES ARE TRYING TO GRIP THE ROAD AND THERE IS A JUMPING AND JOLTING SENSATION. MY CAR CUTS OFF AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK SINCE OCTOBER. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. OF COURSE THEY'RE WILLING TO TAKE THE ENTIRE CAR APART AND CHARGE ME FOR IT BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THAT! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE IS FROM A MANUFACTURE DEFECT.
