I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND MOMENTS LATER MY WIPERS STARTED TO GO ON THEMSELVES ALONG WITH MY BLINKERS BLINKING AND GPS SCREEN FLASHING, AND EVERY OTHER POSSIBLE LIGHT FLASHING. THEN MY TRUCK SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND I HAD NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING AND LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND COULDN'T STOP OR DIRECT IT TO WHERE I WANTED IT TO GO. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE AND MY VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT TOWARDS THE GRASS AND LUCKILY THERE WAS ENOUGH GRASS TO SLOW ME TO A STOP. GOD WAS ON MY SIDE! IF I WAS ON THE LEFT OR MIDDLE LANE IT WOULD OF BEEN A HORRIFIC INCIDENT BECAUSE IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR. I WAS SO SCARED OF MY LIFE I WOULD OF CRASHED AND WOULD OF BEEN IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. AND THANK GOD MY KIDS WASN'T IN THE CAR WITH ME. BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL ABOUT THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING WITH IS NHTSA CAMPAIGN IS NUMBER 14V634000 AND THE DEALER IS STATING THAT MY VIN AND VEHICLE DOES NOT APPLY TO IT! BUT I'M HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RE CHECK OTHER VINS BECAUSE I'M 100 PERCENT SURE THAT'S THE RECALL. SO PLEASE RESPOND TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED OR I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LAWYER AND WILL FIGHT THIS HARD AND WILL NOT GIVE UP AND WILL GIVE IT MY ALL TO RESOLVE THIS THE RIGHT WAY. THANK YOU! ALFRED ADZEMOVIC. ALSO THE DEALER IS SECURITY DODGE IN AMITYVILLE NEW YORK

I RECEIVED APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, THE CODE WAS R09 / NHTSA 14V-115, BUT THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATED THE REPAIR PART WAS NOT THEN AVAILABLE AND A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE WOULD BE SENT WHEN IT WAS. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE SAYING THE PART IS AVAILABLE, AND EVERY TIME I CALL THE DEALER THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND I SHOULD CALL BACK. THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY "COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." I DON'T KNOW IF IT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR OR LET MY WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE IT. I WANT IT TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY OR TO DISCUSS OTHER OPTIONS. I CANNOT GET THROUGH TO THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER, THE PHONE IS ALWAYS BUSY.

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.
