Description of the problem	I took the van to dealer ( at the tinme that it did turned on) spoke to a dealer man and he check through my vin number if it was under warranty first (which is not) he mentioned to me that if i get the codes and the codes match i wouldnt be charged the diagnosticcharges. I took the van (mind you they know am a woman alone and van doesnt turn on) to auto zone got the codes. Once i got the codes print out, i got stuck bc the van would not turn on. With many attemps i mange to turn on and went straight home. The next day i took the van to the dealers and left it there over night. The codes happens to match and they told me they could fix van bc the cylinder head and 3 spark plugs where under warranty but the van takes 3 extra spark plugs and pressure sensor is malfuntion and needs to be replaced in order for van to work properly. I agree! The next day he calls me back to p/u van. I had one of the dealers pick me up at work, when i get there he charges me $124. 34 just for diagnostic and van wasnt fix to bring the next day bc the pieces neededto be order. I took van in the morning jan 12 he said van would be ready jan 14. Jan 14 he called me that van was ready. I go and even before they showed me van that it works, i had to pay $226. 63 in order for them to give me keys. When i go to get my van and turn on..... The van did not turn on... Ofcourse i went in very upset and told them i wasnt living until van was fix. They gave me a rental yesterday jan 14 and have not heard from them yet. Dodge company should remake all this cars bc they are cleary a piece of crap. Not only that but they are fast to charge $$$ instead of making sure the safety of the customer should be first. I am very dissapointent that i am in this situation and the van in from 2011 year is not old at all. What can dodge do for me? I bet nothing

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
