NHTSA Complaint #10652515 — 2011 DODGE DURANGO

MY CAR STARTED HAVING TROUBLE TURNING ON AND STAYING ON. EVENTUALLY, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WOULD TURN ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER PLANET DODGE (WORSE SERVICE EVER) TO BE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL RELAY PUMP (TIPM). THE PART IS BEING MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER WHICH THEY ARE PLANNING TO FIX IT BY ADDING A PART BUT NOT REPLACING THE TIPM. IN THE RECALL IT SAYS THE PART REQUIRED IS NOT AVAILABLE YET. UPSET I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO BE TOLD TO EITHER DRIVE THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT WHICH CAN SHUT OFF AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING OR PAY $1,000 TO REPLACE THE TIPM. NOW, WHAT UPSETS ME IS THAT THEY DO NOT CARE AT ALL WHETHER YOU DRIVE THE CAR OR NOT AND/OR IF YOU CRASH AND TO BE REIMBURSED CHRYSLER HAS TO CHANGED THE TIPM (WHICH THEY WON'T) AND SINCE THEY WON'T WE WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED. IT IS FRUSTRATING HOW THEY SO NICELY TELL YOU TO DRIVE THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT CAN SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. DON'T FALL FOR THE "REFUND" TALK, THEY WILL NOT REFUND IT!!!! *TR
