Since recall 875 was installed on July 27 by providence Dodge in quarryville, this vehicle has been inoperable. Within tree days of the recall installation, the car would not start with out a jump. Then, if the ignition was turned off, the batteries would drain so much within a few hours that the truck would not start without another jump. Providence disconnected a wire to the "D-cellerator" exhaust brake on September 26, 2000. Within hours of my return home, the batteries were again drained. I had new batteries installed. Within hours the batteries were again drained. On October 25, 2000, lancaster Dodge inspected the installation as reported "checked recall installation, all looked good at this time. Reinstalled fuse that the custormer removed and check blower motor operation. No problems found. Check for ign off draw. Found high off draw. Checl.

Wire melted in steering column. I was lucky there wasn't a fire. When replacement was purchased a completely redesigned unit was given requiring extensive labor and appears to have been a design problem to start with. I want re-embursement for parts and labor.
