Filed Jul 31, 2018 · Airbags, Driver assistance · 500 miles · FL · fire

I have tried on many times too arrigo dodge in west palm beach ,florida too complete the safety recall .they have refused too address the issues with this truck . I have complained to the dodge motor division more times than a few ,they turn a blind-eye to the dealership . This truck was a lemon from the show-room floor ,I have replaced the computer , emissions system ,fuel injection system , wiring harness , and many more repairs .the brake system is very dangerous ,someone is going too get a serious injury from this issue. The truck also suffers from sudden acceleration , at any given time . I have called the chrysler rep countless times , and they have a care less attitude ,I voiced my opinion on the chat line ,and...they were quite amused at the possibility of a crash or injury . I want a complete investigation of the dealership ,the factory , and bring in the department of justice on these criminal activities ! Please do something soon , this is a matter of life and death !

Cruise control switch was on but not engaged. I pulled up to back into parking space, and with my foot on the brake pedal, the truck lunged forward into parked cars. The truck stopped, I put my foot back on the brake pedal, looking to make sure I was only on the brake pedal, and the truck lunged forward again into parked car. I took my foot off of brake pedal, put the shifter in reverse, and the truck took off at high speed in reverse, clipped a fire hydrant, and stopped about 100 feet away, backing into an earthen bank. All of this occurred in the parking lot at my place of work.
