- Polkton, NC, USA
Received recall notice that a steering wheel harness could rub and deploy the airbag at any time. I took the truck to hollywood Chrysler hollywood fl and they repaired and returned. When I arrived and for the preceding months prior my "fuel economy display" indicated my average mileage was 15.8 gallons per mile reasonably within the specs for this vehicle. Following the wiring harness repair the display now (and for more than 2 weeks ) reports 11.8 mpg. Somehow the repair altered the fuel usage of the vehicle. The dealer checked and said nothing was wrong. But my mileage has gone from 15.8 to 11.8. I'm not driving differently. I'm losing 30% of my gas and the vehicle is now under advertised specs of 14/20 mpg there is an issue they don't want to discuss. Can the NHTSA contact other owners with this repair and verify" can you help" thanks

I received a recall notice in the mail; #R36/NHTSA 15V-459. I called peterson's stampede Dodge in nampa, id. I spoke to jen in service 208-475-2955. I was told that 1500 vehicles were involved. I could be placed on a waiting list of 229 customers, and would be called when I could bring the truck in. No estimated time frame could be given. However, if I wanted to schedule an oil change, I could make an appointment for that, and the recall repair could be done at the same time. I don't think I should have to pay for an expensive dealer oil change (normally do this myself) just to jump the list for a mandatory safety recall. I also don't think it is right for others to jump ahead of me because they choose to have the dealer change their oil. This does not seem legal to me.
