UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I HAVE HAD MY DODGE 2008 CARAVAN FOR SOMETIME. WAS ORIGINALLY TAKEN FOR REPAIRS TO THE SLIDING DOOR RECALL.

NHTSA complaint #11377616 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

ORIGINALLY HAD TAKEN CAR IN FOR RECALL. THE RECALL WAS FOR BOTH DOORS. THE DEALER HAD DELIVERED THE CAR AND TOLD ME I WOULD BE CONTACTED FOR REPAIR ON THE PASSENGER DOOR ONCE THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING I FINALLY CONTACTED THEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. I MADE THE APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I WAS SET TO DROP OFF THE VAN I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PUT IN AS COMPLETE IN THE DEALERS RECORDS BUT SHOWED PARTS NOT INSTALLED. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT DODGE AND LEFT THE VAN THERE OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE PHONE TO GET THE RUNAROUND WITH DODGE. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DIDN'T HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. MY FAMILY HAS USED THE VAN EVER SINCE. I HAVE ALWAYS PUT OFF REPAIRING IT BECAUSE IT WAS A RECALL THAT BROKE DOWN AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL VERBATIM AND IS A HAZARD FOR MULTIPLE REASONS AND I WOULD BLAME DODGE DIRECTLY IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH OUT THE LAST FEW YEARS TRYING TO RECTIFY THIS EGREGIOUS SITUATION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECORDS INDICATE ONLY ONE SIDE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE RECALL STILL TO THIS DAY SHOWS COMPLETE. I TAKE PRIDE IN BUYING AND MAINTAINING AN 'AMERICAN MADE' PRODUCT AND WOULD HAVE FIXED THIS SEVERAL TIMES OVER HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR PRINCIPLE. DODGE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONCERNED FOR A CUSTOMER WHO IS A FAMILY MAN. I PROTECT MY FAMILY WITH MY OWN LIFE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO ONLY USE ONE DOOR WHEN PARKING ON A BUSY STREET WITH 2-5 CHILDREN WHO ARE FORCED TO GET OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET IF THAT IS THE ONLY OPTION. IT CAN BE VERY RISKY. EVEN PICKING THEM UP FROM SCHOOL THEY ARE MADE TO WALK TO THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR EVEN THOU THE PICK UP SIDE IS ON THE PASSENGER. SECONDLY MY MAIN ISSUE IS A SHORT WHILE DRIVING. PROTRUDING WIRES COULD BE PINCHED IF THE DOOR IS USED WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR FAULT IN THE DOOR FUNCTIONALITY

RECEIVED L25 RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2008 DODGE CARAVAN (WIRELESS IGNITION NODE ~ UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT) IN EARLY JUNE. PLACED 3 CALLS TO LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DISPLAYED NO SENSE OF URGENCY WHATSOEVER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. IT IS CLEAR THAT, WHILE THEY BOAST AN EXCELLENT SALES FORCE, THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING LOW-YIELDING RECALL ISSUES. MY LAST TWO CALLS WERE MET WITH, "OH, YOUR PART ISN'T IN YET. WE'LL GIVE YOU A CALL WHEN IT ARRIVES." THIS GOES AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF WHAT IS OUTLINED ON THE RECALL NOTICE, WHERE THE DEFECT IS TO BE REMEDIED IN A TIMELY FASHION. MY PONTIAC GRAND AM HAD A SIMILAR RECALL (14350) AND IT WAS ADDRESSED SAME DAY AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP (ALAN WEBB CHEVROLET OF VANCOUVER). INFORMATION FOR DEALERSHIP TO WHICH THIS COMPLAINT IS ASSIGNED: DICK HANNAH DODGE 3517 NE AUTO MALL DR, VANCOUVER, WA 98662 (360) 944-3276

I HAD THE DODGE DEALER ORDER PARTS FOR RECALL R03 ON JUNE 15, 2015. I CALLED THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CALL CHRYSLER AND GOT NO ANSWER. HOW CAN I GET THIS RECALL DONE

NHTSA complaint #10761867 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2008 DODGE CARAVAN. "THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN) ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY HAVE UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) FROM THE "ON" TO THE "ACCESSORY" POSITION WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD CAUSE UNINTENDED ENGINE SHUT OFF AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." OVER THE PAST MONTH, I HAVE CONTACTED 2 SEPARATE DEALERS AS WELL AS CHRYSLER. THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. AND THERE IS NO PROJECTION WHEN THESE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. HOW CAN THERE BE A RECALL NOTICE AND NO PARTS AVAILABLE? WHEN WILL THESE PARTS BE AVAILABLE? IS THERE A PENALTY THAT CAN BE INFLICTED ON CHRYSLER FOR BEING UNABLE TO RECTIFY THIS RECALL?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

WE RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL APPROX 6-7 MONTHS AGO. THE LETTER SAID WE'D BE GETTING A FOLLOW UP NOTICE. AFTER WAITING FOR A MONTH, WE CONTACTED THE DEALER IN YAKIMA, WA AND WERE TOLD WE'D BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY HAD THE REPLACEMENT PART. WE HAVE NEVER HEARD ANOTHER WORD ABOUT THIS RECALL! I THINK WE'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH..NOT TO MENTION THE JEOPARDY OF THE DEFECTIVE PART.

MY WIFE TOOK OUR 2008 DODGE CARAVAN IN TO HAVE HER KEY REPLACED AND ABRACADABRA @ TOMBALL DODGE, IN TOMBALL,TEXAS. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD , MY WIFE THAT EVERYONE INSPECTED HER BRAKES , AND THEY AGREED THAT HER BRAKES WEAR AND TEAR WERE DO TO HER DRIVING HABITS, AND SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE HER ROTORS ONLY ON ONE SIDE. SHE WAS TOLD THAT SHE IS USING HER RIGHT FRONT BRAKES MORE OFTEN THAN HER LEFT FRONT BRAKES. WHEN I CONFRONTED THE CSMGR SHE TOLD ME ALOT OF PEOPLE BRAKE ONE SIDE MORE THAN THE OTHER AND IT WAS MORE COMMON THAN I THOUGHT, BUT THEY WOULD FIX BOTH SIDES AND MAKE THEM EVEN AGAIN , IF SHE HAD THE WORK DONE THERE TODAY FOR 10% LESS THE COST OF THE NEW PADS AND ROTORS. REMEMBER, MY WIFE WAS ONLY THERE TO GET HER KEY REPLACED, AND WE WERE VERY LUCKY THE TECHNICIAN DETECTED THE RIGHT HANDED BRAKING ISSUE, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR INTO A NOISY SHOP HIS SUPER KEEN HEARING WAS ABLE TO DETECT BOTH SIDES. THE BRAKES, WERE REPAIRED AT A LOCAL SHOP A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE PARTS IN QUESTION WERE BOUGHT FROM TOMBALL DODGE, THEY HAVE YET TO COMMENT ON THE RIGHT HANDED BRAKING ISSUE AND ITS COMMONALITY.
