I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE BACK IN 2013 OR 2014 REGARDING THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN) MODULE. CHRYSLER RECALL NUMBER IS: L25 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS: 11V-139. RECALL DATE IS: MARCH 1, 2011. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHICH HAS ALMOST GOTTEN ME IN A WRECK. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC BUT THE LAST TWO TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A TOLL ROAD IN AUSTIN, TEXAS AND GOING OVER A BRIDGE AND HAD TO PULL AS CLOSE TO THE CENTER CEMENT WALL AS POSSIBLE AND RESTART MY VEHICLE AND HURRY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC BEFORE I WAS HIT. THIS LAST TIME THAT IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK ON AGAIN A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO AN ENTRANCE OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND RESTART MY VEHICLE. BOTH TIMES IT HAS BEEN A CLOSE CALL. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. THIS IS BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATING AND ALSO VERY SCARY AT THE SAME TIME. CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO WHEN THIS REPLACEMENT PART MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. LIKE IT SAID I HAVE. *TR

FREQUENTLY ALL EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF, WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING OFF, DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK, WINDOWS WILL NOT GO DOWN, DASH PANEL FLASHING (IT IS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS POSSESSED, THE PANEL WILL SHOW THE GAS TANK AS EMPTY, THE TEMP GAUGE RISES TO HOT AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR FEAR OF ENGINE ACTUALLY OVERHEATING) PERIODICALLY WHILE IN THIS MODE, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. ELECTRICAL CODES WERE COMING UP BUT COULD NO'T BE IDENTIFIED, MULTIPLE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION CODES OF THE INTERIOR COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED (THEY WERE UNABLE TO PIN POINT WHERE THEY WERE COMING FROM) I WAS ADVISED TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FINALLY FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2015 THE CAR STARTED GOING HAYWIRE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND REGISTERED MULTIPLE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION CODES COMING FROM DOOR WINDOWS AND DASH BOARD, THEY FOUND THEY WERE ALL CONNECTED TO THE TIBM. DUE TO ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL RECALLS WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG THAT THE JOURNEYS HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE 2012 MODEL WAS RECALLED BECAUSE OF THEM. I FEEL TIBM HAS BEEN THE ISSUE ALL ALONG. I TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH 100 MILES WEEKLY SOME TIMES TWICE A WEEK ON THE HIGHWAY PICKING KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO BE STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY NOR CAN I AFFORD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME OVER 1200.00 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE TIBM. I CALLED CHRYSLER/DODGE CARE AND THEY STATED BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY CAN'T HELP ME. I AM CURRENTLY IN DISPUTE WITH THEM BECAUSE, THESE PROBLEMS WERE HAPPENING WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY HELD MY CAR FOR WEEKS TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM DODGE CASE WORKER. *TR
