2005 Dodge SRT-4

2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 2WD ON 4/11/2005 WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YR OLD SON THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 2 VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JACK CARUSO''S REGENCY DODGE. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS AND SEVERAL FUSES BEFORE COMING TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT THE WIRING AT THE BACK OF THE RIGHT SIDE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDED TO BE REPAIR AND A CAPACITOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON 6/15/2005 WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YR OLD SON THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION. AGAIN, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED, AGAIN, TO JACK CARUSO''S REGENCY DODGE. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER 6/16/2005 I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE PERFORMING ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC''S TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS WRONG. AT THIS POINT I ADVISED I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MY SON AND MYSELF. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE WORRY EVERY TIME I GET TO AN INTERSECTION IF THEY VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT REPLACING THE VEHICLE; I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL CHRYSLER CORPORATE HEAD QUARTERS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE I WAS INFORMED THAT REPURCHASING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AN OPTION BASED ON THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM MY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MYSELF, UNDER FLORIDA LEMON LAW YOU MUST HAVE 3 PROBLEMS WITH IN 24 MONTHS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED 2 PROBLEMS WITH IN 66 DAYS. UNACCEPTABLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE CHRYSLER RECTIFIES THE SITUATION.

I BOUGHT MY 2005 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 QUAD CAB WITH THE CUMMINS ENGINE IN FEBUARY 2005SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES FOR A HIGH PITCHED SQUIKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE, AT FIRST THE BELT TENSINER WAS REPLACED, PROGLEM PERSISTED, SECOND TIME THE SERPERTINE BELT WAS REPLACED, STILL PERSISTED, THIRD TIME THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, FOURTH TIME THE CAM SHAFT WAS REPLASED, NO AVAIL,FITH THE HARMONIC BALACE WAS CHANGED BUT ITS STILL THERE, SO ON THE SIX ATEMPT THE DEALER GAVE IT BACK TO ME AND SAID "WE CANT FIX IT, FILE FOR LEMMON LAW" THIS HASBEEN A NIGHTMEAR FOR ME THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN COOPERATIVE AND WE WENT TO ARBITRATION AND THE REPRESENTARIVE OF THE MANUFACTURER ADMITED AL MY COMPLAINTS BUT WANTED TO DISMISS THE CHARGES ON A TECHNICALITY THAT THE LEMMON LAW FORM WAS E- MAILED TO THE WRONG ADDRESS WHICH WAS PROVIDED BY A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP OF DODGE, AS TO SAY THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, THE CASE WAS EXTENDED TO A FINAL REPAIR AND NOW THE TRUCK IS MISS FIRERING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON..... A NEW PROBLEM ON A TRUCK THAT ONLY HAS 6000 MILES.

MY NAME IS [XXX], I AM WRITING TODAY IN HOPE THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN ASSIST ME WITH RESOLVING AN ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH DAIMLERCHRYSLER. BASICALLY I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW DODGE MAGNUM 2005 IN JUNE OF 2004. THE DAY I TOOK IT HOME IT HAD A WEIRD BURNING SMELL. I HAVE CONTACTED EVERYONE POSSIBLE ABOUT THIS MATTER INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT OF DAIMLERCHRYSLER. NO HELP THE DEALER DECIDED TO BAN ME OF THE PROPERTY, STATING THEY COULD NO LONGER ASSIST ME. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE DEALERS MANAGEMENT STAFF AND RESOLVED BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS BUT NONE HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE (STILL BURNING) I AM STUCK WITHOUT ANY OTHER OPTION BUT TO PAY FOR A BEAUTIFUL LEMON AND THE LEMON LAW HAS MANY LOOP HOLES, AND IS NOT AS FREE & CLEAR WHEN IT COMES TO INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT MY CLAIMS & AM DESPERATE FOR HELP. I JUST DON'T WANT TO END UP PAYING THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A CAR, WHICH COULD BURST INTO FLAMES AT ANY TIME. I REALLY JUST WANT MY CAR REPLACED WITH ONE THAT RUNS PROPERLY, NOTHING MORE. PLEASE HELP. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WOULD NOT START ONE EVENING. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VAN. THE VAN HAD LESS THAN 15000 MILES ON IT. I HAD IT DELIVERED TO LANDERS DODGE LOCATED IN SOUTHAVEN, MS. THIS WAS ON A SUNDAY, SO I WENT UP THERE ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VAN. I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, AND ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES SAID THEY WATCHED THE VAN WHILE IT WAS DRIVEN OFF OF THE TOW TRUCK, WHICH WAS NOT THE TRUTH. MY HUSBAND HELPED THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER PUSH IT OFF THE DAY BEFORE. THEY CLAIMED IT STARTED RIGHT UP, AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. SO I TOOK IT HOME. A WEEK LATER IT DID THE SAME THING, SO I WAITED TEN MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT WAS RELUCTANT, BUT IT DID FINALLY START. *AK

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH AT AROUND 30 MPH IN MY 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE OTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING NORTH TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME, AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, AND THE OWNER OF THE AUTOMOBILE SHOP THAT FIXED IT NOTICED THAT THE WIRE TO THE AIRBAG SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF IN THE COURSE OF THE CRASH. *JB
