Received recall shifter-interlock. No dealer has parts to do repairs. The consumer contacted the dealer about the recall. The representative informed the consumer that he would have to call her back about the recall. To date the consumer has not received a call back and is becoming more concerned about the potential safety hazard.

In may of 2004, I purchased a 1997 Dodge Intrepid ES. I later found out on June 6, 2004 that there was recall on a part in my car. The recall was for a new floor shift ignition. So I took my car to the northwestern Dodge dealership in ferndale, mi to have this manner handled. On that day I was told that it would take only a few weeks for my part to come in for my recall to be taken care of. To this day, October 3, my car has still not been taken care of. I called the people at the dealership many times to see what the situation is and they would give the runaround. I am a college student and I am very fearful for the safety of myself and my automobile if the car begins to move on its own. This is the only source of transportation that I have and I pray that I don't lose my car because its' makers won't do what they are supposed to do. I hope that this will make some type of influence so something can be done so I can drive my car. Thank you.

There was a gas odor in the cabin of the vehicle when the air vents were on. This was due to the fuel leakage recall 98V184000 but the vehicle identification number was outside the remedy scope. At 112,000 miles the consumer was able to remove keys from the ignition without the vehicle being in park. This was the same defect as stated in the floor shift ignition switch recall 04V021000 but this vehicle had a column shifter and the vehicle identification number was outside the remedy scope.
