2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

I HAVE CONTACTED LITHIA TO REPLACE THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY WILL CALL ME AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM. MY IGNITION GETS STUCK AND NONE OF THE ELECTRONICS WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I AM REFERENCING SAFETY RECALL R03/14V-373. I HAVE BEEN ASKING THE LOCAL DEALER JACK KEY MOTOR CO OF ALAMOGORDO, NM FOR THIS RECALL TO BE FIXED FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. THE PARTS MANAGER KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO SEND OUT ANY, AS THOUGH THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER. I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES, BUT THIS IS NOT A TIMELY REMEDY FOR A RECALL THAT "COULD CAUSE UNINTENDED ENGINE SHUTOFF AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH."

L25 RECALL FOR FOBIK AND WIN SAFETY ISSUES. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED AND THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER ALL THIS TIME. NOW THEY HAVE ISSUED R03, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY L25 ALL OVER AGAIN. AND THEY CLOSED OUT ALL THE L25 SO IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WAS COMPLETED! THIS APPEARS TO BE SUBTERFUGE AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND LEAVING OWNERS AND PASSENGERS UNSAFE. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE, HAVE NOT HAD THE PARTS AVAILABLE AND ARE TRYING TO HIDE THAT BEHIND A NEW RECALL. THIS IS JUST PLAIN WRONG AND DANGEROUS! WE HAD ONE OF OUR FOBIK'S BEGIN TO MAKE ALL KINDS OF THINGS HAPPEN IN OUR VAN AND WE HAD TO DISMANTLE IT 3 YEARS AGO. IT WAS OPENING DOORS AND SETTING OFF THE ALARM FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE AT NIGHT. WHO KNOWS WHAT IT WOULD HAVE DONE IN MOTION.
