I received a safety recall notice in the mail regarding recall l25, I took it to dealer they ordered parts for it supposedly. Service center at Dodge advised me that the main problem I am having is not related to the recall therefore labor/parts/car rental will not be covered. (I spoke w a rep at Chrysler group recall assistance center who told me there are still no parts for it) rep at recall said to just pay for whatever is not covered and it would still be reimbursed. Who am I supposed to believe I am not trying to get scammed out of a cpl grand. I am having problems w the fobik getting stuck in the acc position, I was waiting up to 5 minutes for it to click, to get my key back. Now it is not coming out at all. I have to risk leaving the key in the ignition to possibly get the car stolen and the battery to die. I need a real resolution ASAP.
