NHTSA Complaint #10175104 — 2005 DODGE SRT-4

IN OCTOBER OF 2005 I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND ONTO THE GAS AND THE TRUCK WAS DEAD. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED BACK UP. ABOUT A WEEK WENT BY AND I AGAIN HAD THE VEHICLE AND WAS AT THE GROCERY STORE AND IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND STATED TO THEM TRUCK DOESNT START STALLS IN DRIVE. WE DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE ON 11/22/05. THEY HAD IT FOR A DAY AND TOLD US THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT IT WASNT "THROWING AND CODES" SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. BROUGHT TRUCK BACK AGAIN ON 11/28/05 SAME PROBLEM THEY HOOKED IT UP TO COMPUTER NO CODES COULDNT FIX ANYTHING IT STARTED FINE FOR THEM, SINCE ITS NOT EVER SINGLE TIME YOU START THE TRUCK. DROVE TRUCK FOR SOMETIME NO PROBLEMS IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. HAD SOME MORE TIMES IT DIDNT START TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGER IN NOVEMBER OF 2006 STATED THAT VEHICLE HAD BEEN STALLING AND NOT STARTING AGAIN OVER THE PAST MONTH. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP ON NOVEMBER 14TH, 2006 AND TOLD THEM TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TIL THEY FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED HE WOULD DRIVE VEHICLE AS IF IT WAS HIS OWN. UPON ENTERING VEHICLE THE TRUCK DID NOT START FOR SERVICE MANAGER. HE STATED IT STILL DIDNT THROW ANY CODES BUT THEY WOULD KEEP TIL THEY COULD FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY REPLACED THE PCM AND STATED THIS SHOULD HOPEFULLY FIX THE PROBLEM. WE GOT THE VEHICLE BACK ON NOV 30TH, 2006. FRIDAY DECEMBER 1ST THE TRUCK DID NOT START FOR US IN THE MORNING. WE CONTACTED DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY DECEMEBER 4TH AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TIL IT DIDNT START SO THEY COULD CONNECT IT BACK TO COMPUTER BUT THATS ALL THEY CAN DO. SINCE WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN INCONVENIECED AT THIS POINT FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF NOW WE ARE OPTING TO KEEP THE TRUCK AND CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER WITH A LETTER OF NOTICE OF FINAL OPPORTUNITY AND CONTACTED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO FILE COMPLAINT. *NM
