Consumer Description

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW IT HAS HAD MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE SAD PART, NOBODY AT DODGE CARED. IT WOULD SHIFT INTO 4WD LOW AT DANGEROUS SPEEDS. AFTER TAKING TO SEVERAL DODGE DEALERS NONE COULD OR WOULD FIX IT. DODGE THEMSELVES BASICALLY LAUGHED AT RIPPING OFF YET ANOTHER CUSTOMER. NHTSB HAS TOTALLY IGNORED THE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WITH ISSUES ON THESE VEHICLES. OURS IS ANOTHER THAT HAVE THE PULSATING LIGHTS PROBLEM THAT APPARENTLY NHTSA AND DODGE FEEL IT ISN'T AN ISSUE TO HAVE YOUR LIGHTS TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT 70 MPH. APPARENTLY IN THE AUTOMOTIVE/GOVT. RELATIONSHIP AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE HASN'T KILLED ALL OF US YET EVERYTHING IS OKAY. AT LEAST THE DODGE DEALERS ARE DOING WELL. THEY'VE RAKED IN MORE CASH BY DENYING THE ISSUE AND THROWING EXPENSIVE PARTS AT THESE LEMONS. MY QUESTION IS THIS: IF THESE VEHICLES HAVE HAD A RECALL ON :"SPECIFIC" VIN'S YET THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE HOW DOES THE NHTSA JUSTIFY LEAVING THOSE CONSUMERS WITHOUT HELP OR PROTECTION?
