NHTSA Complaint #11154073 — 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

TO BEGIN WITH VEHICLE WOULD START AFTER, SOMETIMES UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPS. IT ALSO STOPPED WHILE DRIVING, JUST WENT DEAD AND LOCKED UP THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL, WITH THE VEHICLE STILL ROLLING. WAS JUST LUCKY TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY WITH NO ACCIDENT. PROGRESSIVELY IT GOT WORSE, AND WOULDN'T EVEN START AT ALL. TOOK TO REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP, WHO SAID WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO ORDER THE PART FOR REPAIR, BECAUSE OF RECALL. INFORMED HAD TO GO TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. DEALER SAID THIS PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT ON RECALL ALTHOUGH ISSUE HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AS RECALL ISSUE. MEANWHILE, CHARGED ME $1275.83 FOR REPAIR LISTING "CAUSE - NO POWER AT FUEL PUMP CHECK NO POWER FUSE M25, FUSE M25 CONTROLLED BY INTERNAL RELAY IN TPIM". FUSE M25 NEEDS TPIM WAS $207.81. THEN "TIPM KIT TIPM" WAS $977.00. PLUS LABOR AND TAX. PROBLEM - BOTH INDICATED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD SAME ISSUES AND WERE ON RECALL. IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER ON THIS ISSUE.
