2 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2016

Case description I had a recalls on my 2008 Dodge Magnum for airbags, and ignition. Had it towed to comminwealth Dodge cause it stopped running while driving. They replaced the ignition, and supposedly replaced airbags also. The ignition allowed the car to then restart. However when I went to pick the car up it ran really badly, and had all the warning lights in the dash on. I confronted the dealership about this before even leaving the lot. They told me I would have to pay to have it looked at. I towed it to a different dealership where they found the main wiring harness pulled apart under the dash. After I picked the car up from them I've had the worst electrical problems imaginable. I've been stranded in ellensburg wa for 3 months, the battery died every 3-4 weeks. Fca will not even return any of my calls, and the dealership just tried to sell me a new car when I contact them. Please help.

5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2015

I was taking my family (wife, 18 month old, 2 yr old, and 4 yr old) to get some ice cream after a home depot trip. As I turned left across a busy street the stereo suddenly blinked out, and the engine died, along with power steering, brakes, and every electrical function. It simply blinked like all power was lost for a moment, and was enough to kill the engine, and loose all power assist functions of the vehicle. Thankfully I had momentum and was able to coast into the side street with out being t-boned by on coming traffic. I was sent recall p57/NHTSA 14v-567 in the mail in November 2014, but there was and still is no remedy for this recall which appears to be directly linked to my incident. How many fatal accidents are going to occur between now and the fix for the known issue? Dodge can build a brand new [xxx] between November and today, but they cannot manufacture a $. 50 part. Did they not learn from chevy? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
