I received a call from the car dealer (darcars Chrysler Jeep of rockville, MD) that I purchased my vehicle from on 19 March 2013. I was told that my car was recalled for a safety issue. The problem is the engine starter positive terminal on my vehicle could short to ground and cause an electrical fire. An electrical fire could occur at any time regardless whether the vehicle is running or is in the key off position. As of 22 March 2013, there is no fix issued by the manufacturer. Furthermore, they (the dealership) can not give me a date when I will receive my automobile back.
I am wondering who Dodge is lying to NHTSA or the consumer. I got a phone call from Dodge customer care on 3/18/2013. A customer care person advised to stop driving the Challenger as there was a possible issue with fire hazard. Dodge indicated that there was no fix, but had to take the car to the dealership. I have called the dealership every day and they indicate that no fix has been issued by Chrysler and do not know how long it will take to find a fix. I call the customer care center and they have no clue what the fix is or time frame. I looked at your website and the recall notice indicates that the wiring to the starter is going to be replace. This is not what the Dodge customer care told me or the dealership. Either fraud is going on here or Chrysler is trying to cover themselves. I need an answer to fix my car.
