  EVERY TIME WE DROVE THE CAR, EXHAUST FUMES CAME IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 25 TIMES. THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THEY PUT AN CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS POISONING US WITH DEADLY FUMES AND TOLD US NOT TO DRIVE IT. I CAUGHT PNEUMONIA FIVE TIMES IN THE EIGHT MONTHS WE OWNED IT. THE DEALER WOULDN'T HELP US, DODGE WOULDN'T HELP US. IT WAS AT THE TIME DODGE WAS FAKING BANKRUPTCY. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THE SERVICE WRITER FINALLY SAID IT WAS OK FOR EXHAUST TO GET IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I TOLD HIM IT WAS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW FOR MY FAMILY TO BREATHE THEIR EXHAUST AND NOT TO CALL US UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN UNTIL I RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING US WE OWED CHRYSLER FINANCIAL $25,000 FOR,,, A CAR WE COULD NOT DRIVE. I TRIED TO GET IT LEMON LAWED AND COULDN'T GET ANYTHING DONE BECAUSE THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

  THERE IS A PIECE IN THE DRIVING GEAR SHIFT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE. WHEN THIS PIECE BREAKS IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE GEAR SHIFT TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING IN MANY DODGE VEHICLES. I HAVE HAD FOUR OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAIN THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEIR CAR ALSO. IT SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE PLASTIC PIECE THAT SEEMS VERY EASY TO BREAK.

  HELP!! I HAVE A 2008 MAGNUM. I TRIED FOR 3 MONTHS TO GET THE IGNITION RECALL DONE. "PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE". SUDDENLY 3/2016 MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THEY DID THE P57, R25 RECALLS. UPON RETURN OF CAR TO ME I NOTICE DASH FUNCTIONS INOPERABLE. I WENT RIGHT BACK INSIDE AND WAS TOLD I COULD LEAVE IT TO BE LOOKED AT (I WOULD BE BILLED) I CALLED FCAUSLLC AND THEY SET ME UP FOR A TOW TO A 2ND DEALER. THERE IT WAS FOUND THE WIRING UNDER THE DASH HAD BEEN PULLED APART. PARTIAL REPAIR WAS MADE THERE, BUT I THEN HAD A SLOW DRAIN ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. FOR 2+ MONTHS I WAS IGNORED BY FCA TRYING TO GET THE ISSUE REMEDIED. ON 5/22/16 I WAS ON HIGHWAY AND CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THIS TIME I HIT A RETAINING WALL. IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE NO SOLUTION TO THIS. I WAS IGNORED FOR A MONTH AND A HALF. THEN THEY DENEYED MY CLAIM DUE TO IT "NOT BEING A MFG. DEFECT" THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM BEFORE THIS HAPPENED IN THE MEANTIME THE DEALER WHERE THE CAR IS HAS NOTIFIED ME THE CARS AIRBAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED AND ARE NO GOOD.... IF THEY JUST REPLACED ONE OF THEM, HOW HAD THEY BEEN DEPLOYED... WHY WOULD THEY SAID TO HAVE DONE A RECALL ON A DEPLOYED SYSTEM..... AND WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED OF A AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT WOULD NOT HAVE HELPED ME IF I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WALL HEAD ON? I HAVE FILED 2 COMPLAINTS WITH BBB , AND FCA LIED ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION, AND THE CASE WAS CLOSED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT MESSED UP THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REPLIED WITH A FALSE SITUATION, AND SALES PITCH FOR A NEW CAR, AND MY FILE WAS CLOSED. I AM 2500+ MILES FROM MY VEHICLE, AM IN FINANCIAL SHAMBLES. NO ONE FROM FCA WILL EVEN RETURN MY CALLS, AND THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME ANY INFO WHEN I CALL. THIS HAS DESTROYED MY BUSINESS, FAMILY, FINANCES, AND STATE OF MIND. I AM OUT OF OPTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PURSUE THIS. THANK YOU

  Vehicle purchased pre-owned/used Sept.7th 2022 from dealership. Had 3 open recalls which were addressed. Said recall in question is 14v567000 ignition switch problem. I have had vehicle back at dealer now 3 times for continued problem of ignition sticking in the start mode as it keeps turning over & you have to physically turn ignition off or cycle it to stop the sticking problem. Dealer has changed the ignition module 3 times & problem still exist. 3 modules in less than a year. I do understand that this is not a dealer problem as they are only the repair facility. I have called Chrysler corporation with the issue & they keep sending me back to the dealer. This is a faulty/defective part that falls completely on Chrysler & there engineering, design, development, testing, & production that is clearly not being done or accomplished. Safety issue clearly needs to be addressed at the highest level. I have seen many complaints concerning this recall that appear to not have been fixed from repeated failures. 1st attempted fix recall Sept 2022, 2nd attempted fix, Oct 2022, 3rd attempted fix Aug 2023. I have just taken said vehicle back to the dealer to hopefully address this issue again.

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS GO DIM FOR NO REASON ON OCCASION. I'VE CHECKED ALL FUSES AND RELAYS AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

  WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN MY 2008 DODGE MAGNUM R/T ONE OF THE COOLING FANS DISINTEGRATED AND DAMAGED MY RADIATOR PUNCHING HOLES AND CAUSING COOLANT TO BEGIN RAPIDLY LEAKING. AFTER ASSESSING THE DAMAGE I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR ALONG TO THE NEXT AUTO PARTS STORE I PURCHASED 2 GALLONS OF COOLANT IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE CAR TO A MECHANIC, IT ONLY MADE IT 2 BLOCKS SINCE THE LEAKING WAS SO SEVERE. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE ADVISED ME OF A RECALL AND I SHOULD CONTACT DODGE. I BEGAN RESEARCHING THE CAUSE OF THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE. IT TURNS OUT THAT CHRYSLER RELEASED A RECALL "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION L08 ENGINE COOLING FANS" FOR 2006 THRU 2008 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES WITH "SEVERE DUTY ENGINE COOLING" SYSTEMS WITH THE SALES CODE NMS, XDL OR XDK AND BUILT THROUGH APRIL 29, 2008. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SALES CODE NMCS AND HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. HOWEVER MY RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THERE IS NO DISTINGUISHABLE DIFFERENCE IN THE FANS PART NUMBER FROM THE YEARS 2004 THRU 2014. CONTACTING CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS BROUGHT NO RESULTS. I RECOMMEND ESTABLISHING A RECORD OF THESE FAN FAILURE OCCURRENCES IN VEHICLES THAT HAVE OTHER THAN THE RECALL'S STATED SALES CODES, AND THAT A NEW RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS COOLING FAN SYSTEM BE RELEASED. THE EXISTING RECALL INCLUDES "SOLD TO SALES CODES AND/OR ARE CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN WARM CLIMATE STATES...". I LIVE IN A DESIGNATED WARM CLIMATE STATE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT THE BLADES DIDN'T CUT ANY HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC LINES OR OTHER SAFETY CRITICAL OR FUEL LINES. *TR

  WHILE SITTING AT RED LIGHT (FOOT ON BRAKES W ENGINE IDLING) CITY STREET WAITING FOR A GREEN LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE (SOUND LIKE A LOUD CLUNK; BELT OR SOMETHING BREAKING APART) COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I QUICKLY LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD FOR SOME INDICATION (NO WARNING/RED LIGHTS/HIGH TEMP/ LOW OIL PRESSURE) THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. NO SURE OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED, I DECIDED TO MAKE A U-TURN INTO PARKING LOT TO INVESTIGATE. AS I MADE THE U-TURN, I LOOKED IN REARVIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED A TRAIL OF FLUID BEHIND ME AS I DROVE INTO PARKING LOT. PARKED CAR, AND RAISED THE HOOD TO FIND THAT I HAD A COOLANT LEAK. NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM, I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW MY VEHICLE HOME. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE REMOVING THE FRONTEND ASSEMBLY TO INVESTIGATE ROOT CAUSE OF MY COOLANT LEAK, SMALL AND LARGE PIECES OF PLASTIC FELL OUT FROM UNDER THE FRONTEND ASSEMBLY. AS I REMOVED THE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY, I NOTICED THE FAN BLADES HAD BROKE OFF (ROOT CAUSE OF MY COOLANT LEAK) AND DAMAGED THE RADIATOR.

  CASE DESCRIPTION I HAD A RECALLS ON MY 2008 DODGE MAGNUM FOR AIRBAGS, AND IGNITION. HAD IT TOWED TO COMMINWEALTH DODGE CAUSE IT STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION, AND SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED AIRBAGS ALSO. THE IGNITION ALLOWED THE CAR TO THEN RESTART. HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP IT RAN REALLY BADLY, AND HAD ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASH ON. I CONFRONTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS BEFORE EVEN LEAVING THE LOT. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I TOWED IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FOUND THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS PULLED APART UNDER THE DASH. AFTER I PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THEM I'VE HAD THE WORST ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IMAGINABLE. I'VE BEEN STRANDED IN ELLENSBURG WA FOR 3 MONTHS, THE BATTERY DIED EVERY 3-4 WEEKS. FCA WILL NOT EVEN RETURN ANY OF MY CALLS, AND THE DEALERSHIP JUST TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW CAR WHEN I CONTACT THEM. PLEASE HELP
