Description of the problem | We had a catastrophic failure of the alternator which nearly caused a wreck with my entire family (infant daughter was in car at the time when the high heat came on and windows locked not allowing us to turn heat off or get out for a minute) while we were driving back home and had to have the vehicle towed and get it fixed at the dealership earlier this year around january. Now the air bag warning light is staying on constantly, and as of 3 days ago (08/21/2016) the radio stops working and yesterday (08/23/2016) the abs & traction control lights came on and will not go off now (at 60 mph that's scary when your family is with you and brake warning lights and airbag lights come on!!!!!!!). So this makes 3 warning lights that are now on constantly, yet the recalls for these issues do not apply to this vin number, but the problems are happening exactly the same as other peoples problems who were part of recalls. My dealership won't fix it unless i pay because my cars vin number doesn't qualify for the recall, yet the same exact problems are happening as recall problems. I will never buy dodge again as they have nearly killed me and my family enough, and are turning out to be very dishonest! |
