TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR PROBLEMS: 7/6/2012 - RIGHT FRONT TPS CRACKED AND LEAKING AIR REPLACED. (MILEAGE 33,166) SAFFORD DODGE, FREDERICKSBURG, VA. (THEY DID NOT RESET) 7/7/2012 - TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON - REPLACED LEFT FRONT TPS. (MILEAGE 33,700) FAIR OAKS DODGE, CHANTILLY, VA 5/12/2016 - LEFT FRONT TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR CRACKED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ONLY A DODGE DEALER CAN REPLACE THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR. IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT TIRE OR ANYTHING ELSE, IT CANNOT BE SERVICED AND REPAIRED BUT BY A DEALER. THIS IS AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE HEADQUARTERS IN MICHIGAN ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS 'NO RECALL' ON THE ITEM AND NO WARRANTY SO NOTHING WILL BE DONE. I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED ON. THE FACT THAT THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME THE TPS HAS TO BE REPLACED CERTAINLY MAKES ME QUESTION WHY? I REALIZE THAT I AM IN DEEP TROUBLE IF I HAVE A FLAT AND ALSO I CANNOT EVEN HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED BECAUSE OF THIS. IT IS OVER $200 EVERY TIME YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED. WHAT A RIPOFF. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL DODGE IS NEGLIGENT.

I TOWED TO HOLLYWOOD CHRYSLER JEEP FOR CAR REPAIR. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING. 3/5/16 RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THEM AT ABOUT 2:00 AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE CAR AND ONLY HAD TO REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS. I ARRIVED AT THERE BETWEEN 3:30-4:00 ON 03/05/2016. I PAID THEY THEN GAVE ME A BUSINESS CARD FOR L.A. TOWING TOLD ME I WOULD PROBABLY NEED A TOW SOON. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UPSIDE DOWN WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK. I STARTED THE CAR IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND KEPT CUTTING OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING FROM STARTER LEFT LOOSE.ASKED WHY THEY DIDN'T FIX IT JUST HAVE IT TOWED BACK WHEN IT BREAKS DOWN AGAIN.ON 03/ 07 THE CAR BROKE DOWN AGAIN COMPLETELY. FROM THE TIME I RECEIVED IT FROM HOLLYWOOD CHRYSLER JEEP THE CAR KEPT CUTTING OFF AT ALMOST EVERY TEN MINUTES. ON 3/7/16 IT WOULDN'T CRANK ANYMORE SO I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR THERE. IT GOT TOWED ABOUT 4-5 DAYS LATER BY EMS TOWING. IT IS STILL THERE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERVISOR HE STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT OBLIGATED TO FIX THE CAR ONLY TO GET IT RUNNING AND THAT'S IT. HE SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT OBLIGATED TO PUT THE STEERING WHEEL ON CORRECTLY EVEN THOUGH THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL. I THEN ASKED HIM TO SHOW ME PROOF OF THE WIRE HARNESS REPLACEMENT AND HE STATED THAT THEY REPAIRED NOT REPLACED THE WIRE HARNESS. I THEN ASKED ABOUT THE ESTIMATE TO SHOW EXACTLY WHAT WAS THE ISSUES BECAUSE THEIR DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM ON THE ESTIMATE PAGE WAS ONLY A REITERATION ON MY OBSERVATION. HE STATED THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG, ONLY GET THE CAR STARTED THAT'S ALL. HE STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO FIX WHAT WAS WRONG,THOUGH THE ONLY REASON I TOWED TO THEM WAS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ASKED WHY DID HIS MECHANICS LEAVE THE STARTER LOOSE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE MAIN ISSUE THAT I BROUGHT THE CAR THERE FOR. HE SAID YOU DON'T EXPECT FOR US TO FIX THE WHOLE CAR DO YOU.
