Example complaints

“Stop lamps, head lamps, exterior lighting, door locks. Repeatedly going out. Door locks and window no longer working. Recall p32 and n59 address these issues, however chrysler states our manufacturing month is not within their recall dates. This has happened repeatedly since purchasing vehicle. We took it to a repair shop and they pulled up these recalls with our VIN from shopkeypro. All dates and mileage are approximate since this has happened repeatedly.”
