THIS IS A COMPLAINT CONCERNING SAFETY RECALL L25 = WIN MODULE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ME ON A WAITING LIST. THE DEALERSHIP IS WAITING ON PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 9 MONTHS FOR CHRYSLER TO SUPPLY THE LOCAL DEALER WITH THE NECESSARY PARTS.

AFTER HAVING THE WIN MODULE REPLACED DUE TO RECALL THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING WE WOULD LOOSE POWER ALL GAUGES (RPM,MPG,FUEL), START FLASHING ALL THE DASH LIGHTS, CHIMING, WIPERS WOULD ENGAGE, AND HEADLIGHTS START FLASHING. (ALL AT THE SAME TIME) THIS WOULD RANDOMLY HAPPEN AT ALL TIMES DAY OR NIGHT, IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER (COLD, WARM, WET, DRY) AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND VARIOUS DRIVING TERRAINS(BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS). AFTER DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAVING HEADLIGHTS FLASHING OFF AND ON WHILE EVERYTHING LIGHTING UP AND TURNING ON AND OFF (EXTREMELY DANGEROUS) WE LEFT AT DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK AND ALSO SHOWED THEM A VIDEO THAT WE TOOK OF THE CAR GOING HAYWIRE. THEY HOWEVER, COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. THEY SAID ALL THEY KNEW WAS THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO SHUT ITSELF OFF AND THAT THE COMPUTER WAS RESETTING ITSELF TO AVOID THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. THEY COULD NOT TELL US WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING OR HOW TO FIX THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE ALARM HORN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY AND VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SWITCH OFF ONCE STARTED AND WOULD CONTINUE TO OPERATE EVEN WITH THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

BRAKE PEDAL IS SPONGY. BRAKING NOT EFFECTIVE. MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING. BRAKE PADS WORE OUT AT 20,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. IN ADDITION, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION FAILED TO START AND THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER A NHTSA RECALL RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE OUTBOARD SHIELD REQUIRED REPLACING. WHEN THE SHIELD WAS BEING TAKEN OFF THE LOWER END OF THE SEAT BELT FELL OFF. THIS WAS DUE TO STRIPPED THREADS ON THE PAD HEAD SCREW THAT IS USED TO FASTEN THE BELT TO THE SEAT FRAME AND ALSO THE THREADS IN THE SEAT FRAME ARE STRIPPED.

AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE WE EXPERIENCED A STALL CONDITION THAT RENDERED THE STEERING AND BRAKES UNUSABLE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THE SITUATION NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CONDITION HAPPEN ON A DRY, SUNNY DAY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION BUT NOT ACCELERATING PRIOR TO GOING INTO A TURN.
