NHTSA Complaint #10649479 — 2009 DODGE CHARGER

TWO WEEKS AGO I PURCHASED A 2009 DODGE CHARGER. ON TUESDAY OCTOBER 21, 2014, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL I COULD SEE A RED LIGHT BLINK INDICATING THE THEFT SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED, THE MILEAGE DISPLAYED, AND THE OPEN DOORS INDICATOR WAS ACTIVATED. MY REMOTE ALLOWED ME TO LOCK AND UNLOCK MY DOORS AND OPEN MY TRUNK. I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP START THE BATTERY WHICH WORKED PERFECTLY. I TOOK ADDITIONAL STEPS TO INSURE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT THE BATTERY BY HAVING IT TESTED. THE RESULT WAS 100%. UPON RESEARCHING THE SYMPTOMS ONLINE, I FOUND THERE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE WIN MODULE IN MY VEHICLE. I FOUND MORE THAN 100 COMPLAINTS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS BY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN CREATED. WHEN WILL CHRYSLER LLC BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS KNOWN AND WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH 2009 DODGE CHARGERS AND GIVE THEM SOME RELIEF? IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED, A RECALL WAS MADE FOR 2008 DODGE CHARGERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT STEPS I NEED TO TAKE FOR A RECALL TO BE DONE. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SITTING IDLE. I FEAR HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE GM CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD WHERE THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS. I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO CHRYSLER LLC AND MY DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL EVEN AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH 2009 DODGE CHARGERS. ONE EMPLOYEE EVEN STATED, "I'M SURPRISED THEY HAVEN'T DONE A RECALL YET. I'VE FIXED THIS PROBLEM OVER 1000 TIMES IN THE SHORT TIME I'VE BEEN HERE." *TR
