“When driving the car it will turn off. There is a recall for the last year and they still have not fixed the car, say there is no parts to fix it yet. One year of car turning off when we drive it, is not acceptable!!! Now there is a air bag recall, same thing they don't have parts to fix the car. What do we do to get them to get these recalls fixed?”

“Ignition issue, wouldn't start. Dodge replaced the module, ignition and additional fob's. I paid $806.21 to pay for repair. In december 2014 I received a recall p57/NHTSA 14v-567 stating recall of a fobik. It says I can't do anything until parts come in but if I already had it repaired I think I should be reimbursed.”
