RECALL COMPLIANCE FAILURE & RECALL REPORTING FRAUD BY AUTHORIZED DEALER Vehicle: Dodge Ram Truck Stellantis Corporate Case #: XXX/ XXX Authorized Dealership: The Faricy Boys Chrysler Jeep ([XXX]) Safety Defect & Non-Compliance Description: On XXX, my vehicle was brought to an authorized Mopar dealership (Faricy Chrysler Jeep) to complete a mandatory federal safety recall involving the fuel tank straps and bolts. Per official protocol, executing this safety work requires handling and disassembling elements of the fuel tank and surrounding fuel infrastructure. Upon completing the recall work, the dealership left the vehicle with newly cracked fuel lines, a bent gas line vent, a missing hose, and a broken Evaporative Emission System (ESIM) module connector completely unhooked and undone beneath the vehicle. The truck entered the shop with zero active fuel system faults or emissions codes, and it is now sitting unfinished at the shop in an unsafe, non-compliant operating condition. Federal Violation & Reporting Discrepancy: The dealership left the vehicle in this hazardous condition, called me, and stated it would cost at least $2,000 out-of-pocket to repair the fuel lines and connect the infrastructure. Under federal law, safety recalls must be completed effectively and entirely at no cost to the consumer. Furthermore, the dealership has issued communications claiming the recall is officially complete, yet the official federal the federal safety agency database explicitly flags my VIN as incomplete. The dealership appears to be falsely reporting the completion of a federal safety recall to the manufacturer/government while holding a physically non-compliant, unsafe vehicle on their lot. Stellantis Corporate is dragging out an internal arbitration process to pressure me into taking the unfinished vehicle back to evade liability. I have recorded audio admissions from the service department confirming these details.
