I bought a car and after a month the car was parked after I cut the car off and after I came back it would not start, and the battery was fine every else comes on. I replaced relay switch but still the same problem. Its been a few months and car is still not fixed. The dealer said last week, and said they checked VIN number and say they are doing a recall but waiting for the part did not say what it is. I am still waiting...........
2008 Dodge Magnum electrical complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 67, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Help!! I have a 2008 magnum. I tried for 3 months to get the ignition recall done. "parts weren't available". Suddenly 3/2016 my car shut off while driving. It was towed to a dealer where they did the p57, r25 recalls. Upon return of car to me I notice dash functions inoperable. I went right back inside and was told I could leave it to be looked at (I would be billed) I called fcausllc and they set me up for a tow to a 2nd dealer. There it was found the wiring under the dash had been pulled apart. Partial repair was made there, but I then had a slow drain on electrical system. For 2+ months I was ignored by fca trying to get the issue remedied. On 5/22/16 I was on highway and car completely shut down again. This time I hit a retaining wall. It's been 3 months and I have no solution to this. I was ignored for a month and a half. Then they deneyed my claim due to it "not being a mfg. Defect" they knew the problem before this happened in the meantime the dealer where the car is has notified me the cars airbags had been deployed and are no good.... If they just replaced one of them, how had they been deployed... Why would they said to have done a recall on a deployed system..... And why was I not notified of a airbag system that would not have helped me if I would have hit the wall head on? I have filed 2 complaints with bbb , and fca lied about the whole situation, and the case was closed. The dealership that messed up the electrical system replied with a false situation, and sales pitch for a new car, and my file was closed. I am 2500+ miles from my vehicle, am in financial shambles. No one from fca will even return my calls, and they refuse to give me any info when I call. This has destroyed my business, family, finances, and state of mind. I am out of options, please let me know how to pursue this. Thank you
I took my car to prestage dodge cause the car had problem starting so they tested it and said it was the fuel pumps, I asked will that take care of it they said yes. I had to borrow $600.00 to pay for it, 2 days later it started again. Took it back tested it again and they said it was the tipm and that my extended warranty would not cover it. I did some checking on the enter net on the tipm and that has been problems with and deaths. It says typical symptoms of a tipm failure ◦the fuel pump not turning off and burning out ◦the engine stalling while driving ◦the starter cranks but won't start ◦the horn going off at random times ◦power windows not working I paid 600 dollars for problem that was never fixed and find it is a problem and there are lawsuits out there all so from what seen its a recall will you please help me to get this part replace on recall. Thank you
