| Description of the problem | Van has been stalling out since i have owned it. I purchased new in 2008. It is at second dealer performing recall for the ignition for the second time. I have been with out a vehicle since 3/26/2016. First dealer dutch miller dodge kept van from 3/26/16 until 5/6/16. Released vehicle back to me with same problem it went in for. I have filed a complaint with dodge . After having to schedule a appointment with a different dealer and wait for a service date of 6/20/16. The vehicle is at the new dealership i 77 ripley. They are redoing the recall from a year ago that dutch miller had performed. This is the fourth week they have been working on the vehicle and recall problem. I have requested many times for a rental car and both the lifetime warranty i purchased with the van and dodge have both refused to provide me a vehicle. I have been since march 26, 2016. Without a vehicle and i have had to borrow cars from family and beg for rides because dodge can not or will not fix my recall on my van . I have been very patient with this situation but something needs to be done. If this vehicle i paid $41,000. 00 for in 2008 is not repairable and not safe to be on public roads due to recall then i feel they need to reimburse me and compensate for my transportation problems. . |
