I got a recall notice stating that my car would be fixed and the labor and parts would be free. I have spoken with the dealership and they say I will need to pay $300 in parts to get it replaced. If the recall notice says it would be free then why do I need to pay? The recall should be covered by chrysler. The airbag light is on. I have not been in any accidents so I do not see why I must pay for a faulty part.

The only problem I have is that the engine sounds like a pea thrasher when its started on cold morning. (it sounds like a lifter that has lost its prime). Also, the transmission shifts hard, surges (over revs) when coming to s atop, and at times when its down shifting while going down a hill, it slams into lower gear.. There are additional body sounds that I haven't addressed yet. I was told by mechanics and service tech's that this was a common sound from my size engine. The have ran updates, yet the noises are still there. I mentioned that at idle with the headlights on, if I was to power any of the windows, the headlights dim and then engine drops from approximately 950 RPM to below 500 and stalled the engine. ...

After driving the vehicle on a short 10 mile drive I parked the vehicle for approximately 45 minutes when I came out and attempted to start the vehicle at which point the vehicle did not start the battery had a full charge and the gear selector indicator on the dash board lit up all gears I attempted numerous times to start the vehicle with out success after trouble shooting I disconnected the negative cable to the battery and left it off for a few minutes and then reconnected it and attempted to start the car which did start at that point I took the vehicle in to my nearest dodge dealer and dropped it off at the service department the response from the dealership was that they were unable to verify the issue and they promptly called me back and returned my vehicle with no issue found, on the second time I took it in on 2/13/13 for same issue with the vehicle not starting they kept the vehicle again for a day and found no issue but the did reprogram the PCM as per tsb 18-023-12 but again when picked up they said there was no real issue the vehicle is less than a year old and has been in twice for the same problem my concern is that it might happen while im driving or while I am far away from home.
