GOOD EVENING, I WOULD LIKE TO ACTUALLY PUT IN A CLAIM MAYBE JUST LIKE THE REST. A MONTH AGO I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND WHEN I GOT OFF AT MY EXIT THANK GOD THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT WHEN I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THEY SAID MY TIRE DID NOT HAVE NO HOLE AND WHEN HE LOOKED IT WAS THE TIRE STEM THAT WAS BROKEN THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THIS HAPPEN TO MY TIRE STEMS AND ALL THREE TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THERE WOULD BE A CLAIM OPEN FOR FAULTY TIRE STEMS WITH DODGE GRAND CARAVANS MY YEAR IS A 2009. I AM PLANNING ON CONTACTING A LAWYER I HAVE THREE KIDS AND I THANK GOD THAT MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS HAS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUS SOMEONE COULD REALLY LOSE THEIR LIFE OVER THESE FAULTY TIRE STEMS. IN THE PAST TWO YEARS MY TIRE STEM BREAKS UP AND MY TIRE GOES COMPLETELY FLAT. PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU TO BE HAVE A SURVEY ABOUT THESE TIRE STEMS. *TR

I HAVE PUT IN 3 COMPLAINTS SINCE OCTOBER AND HAVE SENT A COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER. MY VAN HAS SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY 15 TIMES SINCE OCTOBER. THE ISSUES WITH THIS VAN ACTUALLY STARTED IN THE SUMMER OF 2012, WHEN WE WERE STRANDED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT, BATTERY REPLACED. NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG, YET AT TIMES, IT WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY. NOW THE VAN JUST TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, YET CHRYSLER OUT ME TO A HIGHER PRIORITY AND STILL HAS NOT CALLED ME IN TO FIX THE DEFECT. WHILE THIS VAN HAS OTHER ISSUES AS WELL, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. CAN ANYONE HELP ME GET THIS TAKING CARE OF? I SUGGESTED THEY GIVE ME A RENTAL UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. THAT WAS NOT EVEN CONSIDERED. I ASKED IF IT WAS THEN OK WITH THEIR ORGANIZATION IF AN ENTIRE FAMILY IS INJURED OR EVEN KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. ONLY, ONE RESPONSE STATING WE WERE PRIORITY, BUT NEVER CALLED YET. *TR

I 'VE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPEN MOSTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. I WOULD BE GOING ALONG AND HIT A HOLE OR BUMP OF SOME SORT AND I WOULD LOSE THE POWER STEERING, THUS THE ENGINE WOULD BE DEAD! LUCKY IT WAS ALWAYS AT LOW SPEED, HATE TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AT A FASTER SPEED. ANYWAY I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THAT SAME TIME, AND HAVE BEEN IN 3 TIMES TO GET IT FIXED BUT TO NO AVAIL. I WAS IN JUST APRIL 2, 2015 AND THE DEALER CHECKED WHO KNOWS WHAT, BUT THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO CALL A 800 NUMBER AND TALK TO WHO EVER. SO I HAVE TRIED TO CALL 3 TIMES THE 1ST TIMES I WAS ON THE LINE FOR 2HRS AND 20MINS, THE SECOND TIME ALMOST 3HRS, AND THE 3RD TIME 4HRS 25MINS... ALL I GET IS "THANK YOU FOR HOLDING, YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US, WILL BE ANSWERED BY THE NEXT AVAILABLE REPRESENTATIVE" AND THAT COMES ON EVERY MINUTE WITH NO RESULTS. I WANT THE PART FIXED. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IF ANY??? THE DEALER TELLS ME I HAVE TO GET CHRYSLER TO OK THE FIX, BUT HOW DO YOU DO THAT IF THEY DON'T ANSWER MY CALLS?? THANKS MUCH. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE FOR QUITE SOMETIME. IT CAME TO A HEAD THIS PAST TUESDAY 3/24 WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START--HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TWICE DUE TO ISSUES WITH CONTROL MODULE. THIS EXPERIENCE THE PAST YEAR HAS BEEN FRUSTRATING. DOORS LOCKED BY THEMSELVES WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF; THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE WINDOWS WOULD COME DOWN BY THEMSELVES DUE TO ISSUES WITH CONTROL MODULE. I AM UNABLE TO USE MY KEY EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE KEY IGNITION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS 140,000.

I COMPLAINED TO DEALER WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I PURCHASED (2009) ABOUT MY CAR CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAD IT CHECKED, NOTHING FOUND. THIS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE IN A WHILE AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. BY THE TIME I HAD RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST OF 2014 THIS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN. I HAVE DRIVEN A MILE AND CAR WOULD CUT OFF UP TO 5 TIMES!!! SOMETIMES I CAN GO SEVERAL MILES AND IT NOT HAPPEN BUT ITS SO BAD NOW ITS PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME I DRIVE. WHEN THIS OCCURS I CANNOT CONTROL STEERING OR BRAKES. I HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GO OUT OF TOWN THIS PAST WEEK. I PICK MY GRANDDAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL EVERY DAY AND I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DRIVE. I HAVE CONTACTED DEALER MANY TIMES WHO JUST PUT ME OFF. THEY GIVE ME PHONE NUMBERS FOR CHRYSLER WHO NEVER ANSWER. I AM SURE THE CONDITION OF MY CAR IS MORE CRITICAL THAN MOST OF THE RECALLS. THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT. I THINK I SHOULD BE PROVIDED WITH SOMETHING SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED. I AM ON DISABILITY, ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT AFFORD TO RENT OR BUY A CAR. PLEASE HELP ME. ALL I GET IS THE RUN AROUND AND PUT ON HOLD! *TR
