Consumer Description

This complaint is a update to my complaint number 11557659. My vehicle has exhibited frequent but intermittent problems with left turn signals and headlight high beams since new. The dealership has been unable to duplicate the problems until 12/13/23 when a service technician observed the headlight flash to pass function activating the left turn signals approximately 10 times. However, when I brought the vehicle to the same dealership two days later to have Recall B2A (Malfunctioning SCCM) performed, the inspection procedures to identify malfunctioning SCCMs contained in the Stellantis guidelines failed to identify my SCCM as malfunctioning. The dealership said they couldn't replace the SCCM because the Stellantis procedures indicated that it was not malfunctioning. This was in spite of the dealership's service technician observing the vehicle failing steps 20 and 21 in the formal test procedures several times two days prior (when the vehicle wasn't undergoing a formal Recall B2A procedure). The vehicle also has a 6-month history of exhibiting problems that exactly match a malfunctioning SCCM. Based on this incident, it's very likely that the Stellantis procedures for identifying malfunctioning SCCMs under Recall B2A is not capable of identifying intermittent malfunctions that are not occuring at the exact time the procedures are being performed. This will result in many, if not the majority, of vehicles with malfunctioning SCCMs not being identified by dealerships and not being repair as required by Recall B2A.
