Purchased at monroeville Dodge pittsburgh pa. My brake calipers had become discolored and I became concerned. I asked the service representative to inspect my brakes and brake calipers. I was informed there was nothing wrong. I did take pictures of the brake calipers on all four wheels and found the discoloration through out the car. I find this unacceptable for a new car and forwarded my complaint to Dodge.com. I have yet to receive a recall or notice that my complaint was registered. At thirteen months I had to have my front rotors resurfaced for a fee $125. The service manager stated I just missed the one year on brakes on I had to pay. My brake calipers are still discolored now.

Ed voyles Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has failed to remedy the recall of the anti-lock brake system control module for my 2014 Dodge Journey in a reasonable amount of time. After I was initially notified of the recall, I called to schedule a service to address the problem. I was told at this time that the parts required were not in stock and to check back in a few days. Upon calling a second time, I was told that I would be notified when the parts became available. After a month of waiting and no notification, I called for a third time and was told parts were still not in stock and that I would now be placed on a waiting list. Ed voyles failed to offer a timeline for resolution nor simply tell me my place on the wait list, stating that it was not numbered.

Hello I have received a recall warning for my vehicle R61 NHTSA 1V-675. Today I called a Dodge dealership to schedule a repair and was told minimum a month because it take that long to get the part in. I was also told that they do not keep the parts on hand and order when people call to fix the recall. With a recall like this that affects the breaking system and can cause a crash and the driver not aware it a major safety concern. Why send out a recall if Dodge or Chrysler is not going to fix the issue in a more realistic time frame. One month and then take due to schedule is unacceptable. So in the mean time I just pray that I do not have a accident and not harm myself. Family, or someone else. Chrysler needs to be held accountable. I regret the day I bought this car due to how poorly it is built. Now that needs to be investigated as well.

I received recall notice R61/NHTSA 15V-675 regarding my vehicle's anti-lock break system control module. The notice states that the electronic stability control system could be affected. This month I was driving with my 2 young children, stopped at a red light when my electronic control system shut down in my car unannounced, then suddenly turned itself back on. I was nervous because I was driving with 2 small children, so I immediately went home. I was already informed by my Dodge dealer that Chrysler is not even manufacturing this particular replacement part, so who knows how long it might be before my car can be repaired. When I received notice R32, I drove around for 2 months before my Dodge dealer finally called to inform me they had the available part. I have been in contact with Chrysler and told them what happened to my vehicle. I was promised a rental car to drive until this part became available, but I was only given a rental car for one day. I am still driving around unsafely because this is my only vehicle, and I don't know when it will be fixed. This recall scares me because it is already showing effects of deformity and affecting my vehicle's control operations and I have 2 kids with me.
