“2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid has 3 recalls. The first recall update wasn't successfully done and subsequently I cant get the other 2, s43 and s92 recalls addressed. For several years prior to p48 recall, my truck would drop dead while driving and the dealership could never diagnose why the truck was doing so. There is an extensive history. The truck dropped dead 11/24/2014, dealership uploaded a software a day later in an attempt to fix drop dead issue. It worked only 2 months after the update. It dropped dead and was towed back to the dealership and it sat unfixed for 10 months. …”
