Vehicle has loose horn emblem vehicle heat/ac front not operable vehicle driver side sliding door inoperable. Subject: urgent supplement to NHTSA complaint #11753124 — unresolved safety recalls, airbag hazards, dealer refusal/delay, and conflicting parts availability information vehicle: 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan NHTSA complaint: #11753124 mopar corporate case: #97575701 I am submitting this as an urgent supplement to my existing NHTSA complaint concerning multiple unresolved federal safety recalls on my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. The circumstances have become increasingly concerning because the vehicle has multiple safety recalls, including recalls involving the airbag system, while I have received conflicting information from authorized stellantis/mopar representatives and dealerships concerning the availability of the required remedy parts. My vehicle was purchased used through a private sale. The NHTSA VIN-specific recall information shows multiple recalls as incomplete. The recalls include serious safety issues involving the airbag/occupant restraint system, the steering wheel airbag assembly, ignition-related loss of vehicle functions, and a potential fire hazard involving the sliding-door wiring. The situation is not merely theoretical. One of the vehicle's sliding doors is currently not functioning. The vehicle also has no front heat or air conditioning. Most importantly, the steering-wheel emblem associated with the driver's airbag assembly became detached, and I had to glue it back onto the steering wheel. I am extremely concerned about operating a vehicle with an unresolved recall involving the driver's airbag assembly and a component of that assembly that has physically detached. I contacted authorized dealerships to have the recalls addressed I was attempting to have the recalls formally initiated, the VIN processed, a repair order opened, and the required parts obtained. I was repeatedly given information that led to no service,late service,months away.
Subject: manufacturer and dealer non-compliance / obstruction of federal safety recalls vehicle: 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan description of problem: I am filing a formal complaint against fiat Chrysler automobiles (fca)/mopar and its authorized dealer network for active non-compliance, negligence, and obstruction regarding 7 open federal safety recalls on my vehicle. Authorized franchise dealerships have repeatedly refused to initiate the recall process, scan my vehicle's VIN, or open a formal repair order to place required parts on backorder. One dealership nonchalantly dismissed the safety hazards, claiming parts are entirely unavailable because the recalls date back to 2010. ( united Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram at Jeep ram [xxx]) another dealership employee, craig, used hostile and coercive tactics when discussing service terms, creating an intimidating environment that makes it a safety risk for me to physically bring my vehicle to that location. (star Chrysler Jeep Dodge fiat 21110 jamaica Ave queens village, NY 11428) on July 27, 2026, I contacted mopar corporate customer care to escalate this dealer non-compliance. I spoke with agent sam under corporate case number xxx. Agent sam actively obstructed my efforts to secure a remedy. He falsely claimed to be contacting local dealers to check inventory, but when I offered to call those same locations, conference, to verify his claims, he strongly resisted. I asked to speak to a supervisor to escalate the agent's deceptive behavior and the dealer denials, but I was told the supervisor was completely unavailable and could only offer a callback within 24 hours. Under federal law, safety recalls do not expire. Manufacturers and their authorized dealers are legally obligated to provide a free remedy, log vehicle details, and procure parts. Mopar corporate and its dealer network are actively prioritizing standard brush-offs and administrative evasion over public safety, with 7 recalls. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6.

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. Consumer writes in regard to NHTSA safety recall 20v-396.
The vehicle entered "limp home" mode on a busy highway. After a little research, I found out that this could be caused by a short in wiring. There was already a recall on this vehicle related to the wiring harnesses in the rear sliding doors. At the time, we were experiencing no issues, but took it anyway where we were told that everything was ok and as far as I know, no work was done to correct the potential defect. Subsequently that assembly has fallen apart on both sides and now we're left with a vehicle that repeatedly enters limp home mode often at very inconvenient times, triggering the wipers, as well as all the lights on the dashboard. We'd really like to know that this known issue can be fixed and that Chrysler/Dodge didn't actually put an expiration date on safety.

Took my van into jeff wyler eastgate auto mall, in batavia, OH 45103, to have the two recalls fixed on my van and when I call to check up on the progress I get told that the tipm needs replaced and they are wanting to charge me $1,337. 60 to fix it before they will even be able to fix my recalls. Both recalls are the ignition and the air bags, both of which are caused by the faulty tipm. So what are they repairing and replacing on my recalls knowing that the tipm is the main reason my van has recalls to begin with.
