On 12/21/2018 I took my car to the oregon department of environmental quality to have it inspected so I could get my new tags. I had passed every two years but not this time. I was told there was a new law that required the VIN to show up on the report when they hook up their equipment to my onboard computer/diagnostic system and mine did not. I was told it needed to be reprogrammed into my system by a chrysler dealership. I spent the next six months trying to find out why it was missing and who was responsible but just got the run around or offers to fix it for a lot of money that the deq inspector told me was unnecessary when I went through deq the second time in may of 2019. I even wrote to chrysler but to no avail. I don't understand why my car wasn't recalled if this information is required by law but mine is missing and shows up on the deq report. I've included the two reports I have from 12/21/2018 and 5/15/2019. I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you.

Vehicle has same timp and failed fuel pump relay of recall units from manufacturer affecting 2007-2014, jeep, durango, and town and country. Several mechanics previously could not find the issue with stalling and poor acceleration. This occurred and worsened over 6 months, before the fuel pump finally failing.

No headlight, high beam or low beam or turn signal right side. This began about 6/2017 when replacing bulbs did not work. A few months later the horn also stopped working. Fuel gauge stopped reading and sometimes reads full then drops toward e then may show half. Never a constant reading anymore. All fuses and relays test good. Tipm appears to be in good shape, no visible damage or defects to circuit boards. No good voltage to head lamps or turn signal (meter shows 11.5 volts, but appears to be a potential and not a good voltage. Cannot light a bulb but still shows the voltage on the meter), grounds meter good to chassis. Wiring harness appears good with no indication of damage. Runs very rough and engine light codes a cylinder 3 misfire. Runs smooth under acceleration but very rough on idle and sometimes stalls when stopping or at red lights. I have spent several hundred dollars already on timing belts, alternators, injectors and other maintenance procedures. Dealers wont look at it without several hundred dollars to run diagnostics again and again. I suspect tipm and PCM to be defective units throughout chrysler products. You cannot drive at night because I cant get the lights to work. Car is currently parked because it is unusable and unsafe to drive.

We are being treated in a very uncaring, racist, discriminatory way by the general manager dan hamrick 702‑432‑2401, at #lasvegas chapman dodge #chrysler' @vegasdcj 3175 east sahara las vegas nv 89104. He has consistently refused to see us. He has never returned our calls. I was even threatened with great bodily harm by the service manager mike nicosia. I made a police report. We took our beautiful pt cruiser into las vegas #chapman dodge chrysler on 10-13-17 because the #engine light was staying on. They installed an expensive 'defective' chrysler #mopar totally integrated power module (tipm) and an expensive 'defective' mopar chrysler power train control module (PCM). Between 10-13-17 to 11-21-17 (approximately one month) I had to return my chrysler for repairs five (5) times & they installed three (3) pcms & two (2) tipms which were no good!!! My car's engine light came on again on 12-11-17 and my car accelerated by itself, and we crashed!!! This was only nineteen (19) days after my car's very last visit to las vegas chapman #dodge chrysler on 11-21-17. Our car sustained great body damage. It cannot be driven. Thank father god no one was killed!!! We had no idea what happened until we read an article about chrysler's defective totally integrated power modules problems titled 'chrysler tipms causing power problems - updated october 15, 2016' chryslerproblems.com/trends/tipm/. Amazing!!! That article LED us to similar articles. These are the receipt orders (work orders) in chronological order: #6463649-1, #6464576-1, #6465489-1, #6467298-1, #6467796-1. The problems were never repaired and my car cannot be driven. I am charged a total of $5,836.75 for absolutely nothing!!! Pease help me. Thank you.

The warning lights on the dashboard go haywire, giving false readings. The gas tank is full, but the false alarm says empty - and the car stalls. I had to pay $1221 for the replacement of elecronic cluster, later on $660 for another electronic part. This didn't help and the car kept giving false alarms. The car would stall on highway.
