2008 DODGE MAGNUM Steering Problems

CASE DESCRIPTION I HAD A RECALLS ON MY 2008 DODGE MAGNUM FOR AIRBAGS, AND IGNITION. HAD IT TOWED TO COMMINWEALTH DODGE CAUSE IT STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION, AND SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED AIRBAGS ALSO. THE IGNITION ALLOWED THE CAR TO THEN RESTART. HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP IT RAN REALLY BADLY, AND HAD ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASH ON. I CONFRONTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS BEFORE EVEN LEAVING THE LOT. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I TOWED IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FOUND THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS PULLED APART UNDER THE DASH. AFTER I PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THEM I'VE HAD THE WORST ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IMAGINABLE. I'VE BEEN STRANDED IN ELLENSBURG WA FOR 3 MONTHS, THE BATTERY DIED EVERY 3-4 WEEKS. FCA WILL NOT EVEN RETURN ANY OF MY CALLS, AND...

HELP!! I HAVE A 2008 MAGNUM. I TRIED FOR 3 MONTHS TO GET THE IGNITION RECALL DONE. "PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE". SUDDENLY 3/2016 MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THEY DID THE P57, R25 RECALLS. UPON RETURN OF CAR TO ME I NOTICE DASH FUNCTIONS INOPERABLE. I WENT RIGHT BACK INSIDE AND WAS TOLD I COULD LEAVE IT TO BE LOOKED AT (I WOULD BE BILLED) I CALLED FCAUSLLC AND THEY SET ME UP FOR A TOW TO A 2ND DEALER. THERE IT WAS FOUND THE WIRING UNDER THE DASH HAD BEEN PULLED APART. PARTIAL REPAIR WAS MADE THERE, BUT I THEN HAD A SLOW DRAIN ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. FOR 2+ MONTHS I WAS IGNORED BY FCA TRYING TO GET THE ISSUE REMEDIED. ON 5/22/16 I WAS ON HIGHWAY AND CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THIS TIME I HIT A RETAINING WALL. IT'S BEEN...

I WAS TAKING MY FAMILY (WIFE, 18 MONTH OLD, 2 YR OLD, AND 4 YR OLD) TO GET SOME ICE CREAM AFTER A HOME DEPOT TRIP. AS I TURNED LEFT ACROSS A BUSY STREET THE STEREO SUDDENLY BLINKED OUT, AND THE ENGINE DIED, ALONG WITH POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND EVERY ELECTRICAL FUNCTION. IT SIMPLY BLINKED LIKE ALL POWER WAS LOST FOR A MOMENT, AND WAS ENOUGH TO KILL THE ENGINE, AND LOOSE ALL POWER ASSIST FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. THANKFULLY I HAD MOMENTUM AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE SIDE STREET WITH OUT BEING T-BONED BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. I WAS SENT RECALL P57/NHTSA 14V-567 IN THE MAIL IN NOVEMBER 2014, BUT THERE WAS AND STILL IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL WHICH APPEARS TO BE DIRECTLY LINKED TO MY INCIDENT. HOW MANY FATAL ACCIDENTS ARE GOING TO OCCUR BETWEEN NOW AND THE FIX FOR THE KNOWN ISSUE? DODGE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE MAGNUM. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BENT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. UPDATED 4/6/15*CN
