| Description of the problem | While driving home from work i noticed my truck was slowing down without me applying the brakes and once i did apply the brakes i was informed i had only one brake light working. At that time i immediately went to a part store to have the fuses check and i purchased more bulbs and found out that was not the problem. The service department informed me that this was electrical problem not even the new bulbs worked and the fuses were good as well. I purchased this vehicle in october 2014 from drive time of columbus, ga and was not informed of the recall. The carfax associated with this vehicle did not mention any defects as a matter of fact the carfax listed this vehicle as almost perfect. I have contact chrysler regarding this matter and they too let me know this problem was part of the recall but they are not able to correct the problem because they do not have the parts and it is may 2015. Now i am driving a truck that is really not safe. I spoke with the dealership where i purchase the truck without any resolution. They are only concerned with the payments., can something be done? Can this dealership be made to give me my money back i have spent on this truck or give me another vehicle which i afraid to trust anyone at this point. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you |
