I WAS DRIVING IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY 14 ME AND MY 1-YEAR OLD. A LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL POPPED UP ON THE DASH AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE A LOT OF RECALLS ON THINGS I SEE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN FIXED.

WHY IS IT THAT THE MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION FOR SAFETY IN REGARDS TO SUSPENSION REPLACEMENT, FUSE BOX(S) REWIRING AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM ARE NOT RECALLS FOR THE LD POLICE PURSUIT MODELS. I'M TOLD BY DON DAVIS IN ARLINGTON TEXAS THAT THESE ARE NOT "RECALL ITEMS" AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE? EVEN THOUGH THE POLICE FLEET WAS TAKEN CARE OF. THIS, IF I WERE TO BE INJURED IN A CRASH/ACCIDENT WILL OPEN CHRYSLER UP TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SUIT FROM EVERY MODEL ON THE STREET WHICH YOU KNOW THAT IS A LOT. TO ME AND OTHERS THIS IS ALL ABOUT MONEY TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM PLACING PROFIT/LOSS ABOVE SAFETY WHICH IS A THE LEAST GROSS NEGLIGENCE. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME I'M DRIVING THIS CAR.
