DODGE WILL NOT RECALL, WHY SHOULD THEY WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH CHARGING OVER $400 FOR THIS SIMPLE REPAIR. DODGE WOULD BE FOOLISH TO RECALL WHEN THEY ARE MAKING OVER $400 FOR THIS REPAIR. *KB

THIS COMPLAINT IS ON THE SUNSHINE KIDS SUPER-LATCH COMPONENT OF MY RADIAN CAR SEAT. THE SUPER LATCH BECOMES LOOSE AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF NORMAL USE. I THEN HAVE TO RETIGHTED FOR A CORRECT INSTALLATION. THERE IS A NICE SUPER TIGHT INSTALL AND WITH MY 35 LBS CHILD SITTING IN IT CORRECTLY, THE LATCH BECOMES LOOSE MAKING THE CARSEAT VERY UNSAFE. THE DOM IS 10/09. LOT # 0911. PN# SSK-000306-SB-08. THE SELECTION FOR MY MODEL NUMBER IS NOT OFFERED. THE CAR SEAT MODEL # IS US19000. MANUFACTUING DATE IS 08/08 AND THE SERIAL NUMBER IS 08080052802691. I DID NOT SEE A PLACE TO PUT THE CORRECT INFORMATION FURTHER ON IN THE FORM. SUNSHINE KIDS SEND ME THE SUPER LATCH AS A REPLACEMENT PART FOR MY ORIGINAL LATCH THAT BECAME TANGLED AND UNUSABLE. THEY DID NOT OFFER THE ORIGINAL LATCH AS A REPLACEMENT AND SENT THE SUPER LATCH INSTEAD. I CONTACTED SUNSHINK KIDS TO INQUIRED ABOUT A NEW REPLACEMENT SUPER LATCH DUE TO THE LOOSENING PROBLEM AND THEY WERE HAPPY TO SEND ME A REPLACEMENT FOR ONE OF MY SEATS. THEY HOWEVER, DID NOT OFFER TO PREVENTATIVELY REPLACE MY OTHER CARSEAT THAT WAS NOT YET EXPERIENCING THE SAME INSTALLATION PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT A RECAL SHOULD BE MADE ON THE SUPER-LATCH DUE TO THE GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2007, MAKE=DODGE, MODEL=MAGNUM). *TR

GAS FUMES ENTER CAR WHEN AC IS ON, ENGINE IS HOT AND WHEN UNDER HARDER ACCELERATION . PUTTING WINDOWS DOWN CLEARS FUMES. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW AND STILL DOES IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONCE AND NOTHING WAS FOUND ? I THOUGHT MAY BE IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER AWHILE AND WAS COATING BURNING OFF OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. STINKS SOMEWHAT LIKE SULFUR AND IS VERY ANNOYING AND I DON'T THINK VERY SAFE. FIRST COMPLAINT 21,815 MILES. EVAPORATIVE FUEL SYSTEM CANISTER IN UPPER WHEEL WELL DON'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME . YOU CAN'T SEE IF ANYTHING IS LEAKING OR NOT. *TR
