Vehicle purchased pre-owned/used Sept.7th 2022 from dealership. Had 3 open recalls which were addressed. Said recall in question is 14v567000 ignition switch problem. I have had vehicle back at dealer now 3 times for continued problem of ignition sticking in the start mode as it keeps turning over & you have to physically turn ignition off or cycle it to stop the sticking problem. Dealer has changed the ignition module 3 times & problem still exist. 3 modules in less than a year. I do understand that this is not a dealer problem as they are only the repair facility. I have called Chrysler corporation with the issue & they keep sending me back to the dealer. This is a faulty/defective part that falls completely on Chrysler & there engineering, design, development, testing, & production that is clearly not being done or accomplished. Safety issue clearly needs to be addressed at the highest level. I have seen many complaints concerning this recall that appear to not have been fixed from repeated failures. 1st attempted fix recall Sept 2022, 2nd attempted fix, Oct 2022, 3rd attempted fix Aug 2023. I have just taken said vehicle back to the dealer to hopefully address this issue again.

Case description I had a recalls on my 2008 dodge magnum for airbags, and ignition. Had it towed to comminwealth dodge cause it stopped running while driving. They replaced the ignition, and supposedly replaced airbags also. The ignition allowed the car to then restart. However when I went to pick the car up it ran really badly, and had all the warning lights in the dash on. I confronted the dealership about this before even leaving the lot. They told me I would have to pay to have it looked at. I towed it to a different dealership where they found the main wiring harness pulled apart under the dash. After I picked the car up from them I've had the worst electrical problems imaginable. I've been stranded in ellensburg wa for 3 months, the battery died every 3-4 weeks. Fca will not even return any of my calls, and the dealership just tried to sell me a new car when I contact them. Please help

According to my local dealer, my car's ignition module was replaced as a result of a recall. last week my car shut off for no apparent reason while driving 55mph which IS the exact problem causing the original recall. The instrument panel lights all came on for several seconds but the engine quit running. then, after several seconds it returned to normal. the car will also not start on occasion when turning the key unless I push the key sideways while turning it. I think something IS wrong with the ignition module. it IS possible the problem with the new ignition module IS the same as the old one? or IS it possible that the recall was not ever performed in spite of what my dealer says? the dealer refuses to repair this problem for free because, according to their records, the recall of the ignition module has been done. what should I do?

Help!! I have a 2008 magnum. I tried for 3 months to get the ignition recall done. "Parts weren't available". Suddenly 3/2016 my car shut off while driving. It was towed to a dealer where they did the P57, R25 recalls. Upon return of car to me I notice dash functions inoperable. I went right back inside and was told I could leave it to be looked at (i would be billed) I called fcausllc and they set me up for a tow to a 2ND dealer. There it was found the wiring under the dash had been pulled apart. Partial repair was made there, but I then had a slow drain on electrical system. For 2+ months I was ignored by fca trying to get the issue remedied. on 5/22/16 I was on highway and car completely shut down again. This time I hit a retaining wall. It's been 3 months and I have no solution to this. I was ignored for a month and a half. Then they deneyed my claim due to it "not being a mfg. Defect" they knew the problem before this happened in the meantime the dealer where the car IS has notified me the cars airbags had been deployed and are no good.... If they just replaced one of them, how had they been deployed... Why would they said to have done a recall on a deployed system..... and why was I not notified of a airbag system that would not have helped me if I would have hit the wall head on? I have filed 2 complaints with bbb , and fca lied about the whole situation, and the case was closed. The dealership that messed up the electrical system replied with a false situation, and sales pitch for a new car, and my file was closed. I am 2500+ miles from my vehicle, am in financial shambles. No one from fca will even return my calls, and they refuse to give me any info when I call. this has destroyed my business, family, finances, and state of mind. I am out of options, please let me know how to pursue this. thank you

I had to borrow $600.00 to pay for it, 2 days later it started again. Took it back tested it again and they said it was the tipm and that my extended warranty would not cover it. I did some checking on the enter net on the tipm and that has been problems with and deaths. It says typical symptoms of a tipm failure ◦the fuel pump not turning off and burning out ◦the engine stalling while driving ◦the starter cranks but won't start ◦the horn going off at random times ◦power windows not working I paid 600 dollars for problem that was never fixed and find it IS a problem and there are lawsuits out there all so from what seen its a recall will you please help me to get this part replace on recall.

While sitting at red light (foot on brakes w engine idling) city street waiting for a green light, I heard a loud noise (sound like a loud clunk; belt or something breaking apart) coming from the engine compartment. I quickly looked at the dashboard for some indication (no warning/red lights/high temp/ low oil pressure) that something was wrong. no sure of what just happened, I decided to make a u-turn into parking lot to investigate. as I made the u-turn, I looked in rearview mirror and noticed a trail of fluid behind me as I drove into parking lot. parked car, and raised the hood to find that I had a coolant leak. not able to determine were the leak was coming from, I called roadside assistance to tow my vehicle home. two days later while removing the frontend assembly to investigate root cause of my coolant leak, small and large pieces of plastic fell out from under the frontend assembly. as I removed the cooling fan assembly, I noticed the fan blades had broke off (root cause of my coolant leak) and damaged the radiator.

- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.

In a november 5, 2008 letter, chrysler submitted a defect information report describing a defect condition that could result in prndl misalignment (i.e., incorrect gear indication) in approximately 20,300 model year (my) 2006 through 2009 dodge charger and magnum police vehicles built from may 17, 2005 through october 21, 2008 (nhtsa recall no. 08V-583, chrysler recall h37).according to chrysler, the gearshift cable may become disengaged from the steering column mounting bracket and cause an incorrect transmission gearshift position display.this could allow the vehicle to move inadvertently and cause a crash without warning.chrysler dealers will remedy the defect condition by installing a redundant locking mechanism to the gearshift cable and the mounting bracket to ensure proper retention and shift linkage function. Chrysler uses a unique column shifter in these police vehicles.after pe08-052 was opened, chrysler inspected a my 2009 police vehicle and noted that though the gearshift cable appeared fully seated into the steering column mounting bracket, the cable retention feature (locking pin) was not fully seated.chrysler subsequently determined that if the retention feature IS not fully seated, the cable may disengage from the mounting bracket, resulting in the shift linkage system not functioning to design intent with the potential for incorrect gear position indication via the prndl display.chysler's inspection of 59 my 2009 dodge charger and magnum police vehicles in september and october found 30 where the gearshift cable was not fully engaged to the mounting bracket.there are no reported crashes or injuries related to the defect condition to date. This investigation IS closed.
