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

Every time we drove the car, exhaust fumes came in the passenger compartment. We took it to the dealer 25 times. They could not fix it. We took it to the health department, they put an carbon monoxide detector in it and they said it was poisoning us with deadly fumes and told us not to drive it. I caught pneumonia five times in the eight months we owned it. The dealer wouldn't help us, Dodge wouldn't help us. It was at the time Dodge was faking bankruptcy. I took it back to the dealer, the service writer finally said it was ok for exhaust to get in the passenger compartment. I told him it was against federal law for my family to breathe their exhaust and not to call us until it was fixed. I never heard from them again until I received a letter informing us we owed Chrysler financial $25,000 for, ,, a car we could not drive. I tried to get it lemon lawed and couldn't get anything done because the Chrysler corporation was supposed to be going out of business. I have talked to several Magnum owners over the last few years that have the same complaint. Getting sick while driving their car. Please help, it has ruined my credit.
