According to my safety recall... If your dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge and within a reasonable time, you may go to so I am doing so because I feel it is not being done within a reasonable time. We contacted our dealer and we were not on the list in february so they added us and last week I called back and they said they haven't acquired any parts to make any fixes yet. The unfortunate part is we specifically purchased our vehicle with the intent to go on a family vacation and it sure would be nice to be able to crack the rear windows when you are going to be in florida in july. I believe it is unreasonable that at this time a year the problem was discovered in 2014 and they still don't have any parts. The parts department said they have no idea when the parts will be available. So to sum it up my complaint is they aren't handling the matter in a reasonable amount of time.
At times when you turn the air on hot air comes out or when you turn the heat on cold air will come on even after turn it off and back on or shutting the vehicle off.the suspension rattles a lot when going over bumps.the engine runs rough and idles rough usually when it is cold out or rainy but not always. Stalls at red lights and the check engine light comes on until it runs better.

My rear quarter vent windows were on a recall and I took it to the dodge dealership (may 2014) where they disconnected the automatic switch to the windows. It has now been non-operational since then. I have contacted dodge corporate offices and the dealership on a routine basis to be constantly told they have no idea when this will be repaired. This is beyond a reasonable time to fix something like this. Please help me as I would like to have my windows operational. Dodge simply does not seem to care and have no interest or priority in repairing this defect. Thanks
Recall p25 for rear vent window switch has been out for six months. I contacted the dealer and there is still no replacement part. I contacted the chrysler recall number for "more information"...they had none. Six months is an unreasonable amount of time. Why is there no replacement part? When will there be a replacement part? These are simple questions that the dealer and the manufacturer cannot or will not answer. I would think that given six months there would be some effort to fix my car or at least explain why the delay and give an estimate of time when they intend to fix it. Six months is unreasonable.
