I have been to two different dealerships to have this recall repaired and i am still having the same problem. my car takes several tries to start. the last dealership gave me new keys and said the problem was fixed but it is not fixed. the dealership only wants to sell us a new car. this has been going on for a year. we really like dodge but this is unacceptable and very disappointing. we won't be getting another dodge. what are we supposed to do to get our vehicle fixed? sending us to different dealerships has not worked and if we take our car to an independent mechanic how can we be sure to be reimbursed because we have a trust issue with your company.
