I have repaired the entire front suspension system, brake system, sway bar bushing, water pump, etc. Now the head gaskets blew... Are there any recalls or ways you can refund me?

I have been chasing a ABS/eps light issue since the dealership did an airbag recall. Replaced all wheel sensors, rotors, brake pads, calipers and finally returned to the dealership for them to replace the angle sensor. 5 minutes after leaving the light came back on. Returned and they said the steering column measured 37mm instead of 34mm. This item has never been replaced or damaged and without replacing this item then I'm being told this sensor will continue to be an issue. This vehicle is not my daily driver because I have been concerned on safety issues. Now I know it was a manufacture issue. Chrysler refuses to help me because they stated the dealer has not determined this to be a manufacturer defect. In 2010 and 2012 this issues has come up in the media and the manufacturer was placed on notice but failed to recall because not enough cases were located.

I was driving down a residential street coming back from the grocery store traveling between 25-30 miles per hour and had to make a left turn coming up, I put on my left turn signal to turn at an 4 way intersection and the switch was hard to push down, which never happened before. I proceeded in making my left turn and as I was turning I could hear something in the steering wheel popping constantly and the turn signal stayed on and the esp light sounded and the orange esp icon light appeared on the dash. As I was turning the wheel back to the right, hearing the popping the steering wheel locked up on me and I couldn't turn the wheel at all. I had to come to a stop, put my hazard lights on so traffic could go around me. I put the car in park and tried to turn the steering wheel back to the left then back to the right and the steering wheel came free but the steering wheel you could still hear the popping. I preceded to go home and the steering was okay. I checked the steering fluid and it was fine once I got home. When I use my turn signal, the turn signal gets stuck and will not turn off. If I try to turn the signal off by the switch it just turns on the left signal and vice versa. I drove it later on that day and I didn't have any more problems. I thought maybe it was just some fluke or ice stuck underneath the car from the winter weather. My wife drove to work yesterday and she stated on her way home she tried to make a right turn and use the switch to turn right and it was stiff like it didn't want to turn on and she proceeded to turn right and again the esp light came on and the steering wheel starting popping again and it got stuck in her making a right turn. She stated she had to turn it back to the left really hard so she would cause an accident. Is this something that may be a recall? ....updated 02/06/17

I towed to hollywood chrysler jeep for car repair. They said they would fix take care of everything. 3/5/16 received a phone call from them at about 2:00 and was told that they had fixed the car and only had to replace the wire harness. I arrived at there between 3:30-4:00 on 03/05/2016. I paid they then gave me a business card for l.a. Towing told me I would probably need a tow soon. The steering wheel was upside down when I received the car back. I started the car it made a grinding sound and kept cutting off while I was driving from starter left loose.asked why they didn't fix it just have it towed back when it breaks down again.on 03/ 07 the car broke down again completely. From the time I received it from hollywood chrysler jeep the car kept cutting off at almost every ten minutes. On 3/7/16 it wouldn't crank anymore so I had to leave the car there. It got towed about 4-5 days later by ems towing. It is still there. The customer service supervisor he stated that they were not obligated to fix the car only to get it running and that's it. He said that they were not obligated to put the steering wheel on correctly even though they performed the recall. I then asked him to show me proof of the wire harness replacement and he stated that they repaired not replaced the wire harness. I then asked about the estimate to show exactly what was the issues because their description of the problem on the estimate page was only a reiteration on my observation. He stated they didn't have to tell me what was wrong, only get the car started that's all. He stated that they were not under any obligation to fix what was wrong,though the only reason I towed to them was to have it repaired. Asked why did his mechanics leave the starter loose because that was the main issue that I brought the car there for. He said you don't expect for us to fix the whole car do you.

The column shifter disengaged while I was driving. Luckily it happened while I was parking because I had both my children in the car with me at the moment.

I have had another incident where the automobile has had another mechanical malfunction. I was slowing down to turn at a stop light. It died, right before I started my turn. This is now the fourth incident with the same issue. Thankfully I was not hurt this time. Though I am still suffering from the incident from december 8th. My daughter was with me again when this incident occurred. She said, "mom the light is green". I said, "I know, the car is dead". I would like to know what is being done, before someone gets killed.
