The car has no coolant in it and no oil when replaced immediately the vehicle burned it off and it ran out. The vehicle also had to be towed back to the dealer. The dealer charges for the new computer and then tells me I have to pay for the coolant problem, the oil leak problem and and some caliber with my wheel. The vehicle also after having a new tipm installed and new remote coded and programmed the vehicle passenger door on the right still doesn't lock with instruction from neither remote or manually. The dealer is telling me I can not fix the oil leak thing and drive it topping of the oil and checking it daily.

Sub: p25agency 14v‑234 rear quarter vent window switch we received a safety recall notice a few months ago that stated, ?chrysler has detected that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in some 2010 through 2014 model year dodge grand caravan and chrysler town & country vehicles.? My vehicle falls within the scope of this problem. We contacted arrigo of west palm beach on april 9, 2015 to schedule an appointment to get the vehicle repaired and was informed that ?the part was on backorder and I would be contacted when the part came in.? It has been five months now and they have still not received the required parts as of september 1, 2015. As stated in the safety recall letter, if the dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge and with in a reasonable time, I may submit a written complaint to the administrator, national traffic safety administration.? We do not understand why it has taken five months or possibly longer for a dealer to receive a safety recall part, so that this safety hazard may be repaired as well as my peace of mind. The problem as stated, ?the rear quarter vent window switch on your vehicle may overheat if exposed to liquid moisture. An overheated rear quarter vent window switch may cause a burning odor, smoke, or a driver's door fire without warning.? I am very concerned for my family's safety because we live in florida and it is very moist here especially during hurricane season. The longer it takes to receive the correct part and fix this issue creates higher safety risk for my family. Thank you for your time and please help us resolve this issue promptly.
