What 87 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Dodge Caravan

I CONTACTED THE DEALER REGARDING THE POWER VENT SWITCH RECALL AND THEY FAILED TO PLACE THE ORDER FOR THE PART. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PART WAS NOT ORDERED SO I PLACED THE ORDER THEN. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN. DEALER IS NEW RIVER AUTO MALL CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE IN HARDEEVILLE SOUTH CAROLINA.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING REAR QUARTER VENT WINDOW SWITCH. STATES IF EXPOSED TO LIQUID SWITCH MAY OVERHEAT CAUSING BURNING ODOR, SMOKE, OR DRIVER'S DOOR FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. TRIED TO SCHEDULE APPT JUST TO HAVE SWITCH DISCONNECTED SINCE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE TWO CLOSEST DEALERS WOULD NOT TAKE VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS! I THINK THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. *TR
