2003 Dodge Durango

The obd reader on my 2003 Durango brings up code for central timing module and eeprm checksum error were the safety recall is in order but the vin number is not in the list of recall. It has all the specification of recall but vin number isn't in the list of recalls. I'm driving around in a unsafe vehicle due to manufacturing error that my vin number is the only thing why they won't fix it. Why do they not care if I kill myself or others from this that the recall is

Clogged or leaking A/C drain hose. This hose is responsible for draining condensation from the A/C evaporator, the condensation pools in large quantity on the passenger floorboard. This constitute a hazard for the electrical systems near it and a risk of corrosion not to mention potential toxic mold and basically the car self flooding. A few videos document the issue and it is due to bad design where the drain hose is oriented upward and/or the seal blocking water from penetrating the passenger cabin is cracked or falls away in time. Cars from 20+ years ago like my Dodge Durango would certainly experience a degradation of such a seal. The seal itself is very difficult to get to but the issue is pressing. This is an example of a video documenting the issue where the narrator describes this as bad design. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 10/2019. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP FOR VEHICLE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR AT A STOP, LET ALONG WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP. THEN RPM'S DROP! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THIS, WITH MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN IN CAR!!! THE SHOP I'VE TAKEN TO CAN NOT FIND OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. GRANTED WE TRIED REPLACING HOSES, VALVE GASKETS TUNE UP. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIND AND FIX THIS BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY HAPPENS. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING AND I HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART. THE STREETS AND ROADS I HAVE TO TRAVEL ARE USUALLY ALWAYS BUSY. ALSO THE VEHICLE WHEN STOPPING THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS SLIDE BACK AND FORTH, THEY ARE NOT WHAT I WOULD CALL SAFE... FOR I BELIEVE THE RULES ARES TO CHECK MIRRORS, ADJUST SEATING, WEAR SEAT BELTS TO ENSURE THAT YOU WILL BE DRIVING SAFELY. I COULD BE WRONG BUT I'M PRETTY POSITIVE. NEEDS FIXING NOW!! THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE HOSES... THEY SEEM TO FALL OFF AND I TAKE INTO SHOP JUST TO HEAR ITS THE HOSE AGAIN. NOT COUNTING NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES LIKE WINDOWS NOT ROLLING DOWN SOME DAYS, REAR HEATER DOESN'T WORK UNLESS THE FRONT HEATER IS OFF.

THE STEERING COLUMN CONTAINS A UNIVERSAL JOINT WHICH CLICKS WHENEVER MAKING A TURN AND CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO BIND AND THEN RELEASE SUDDENLY WHICH CAUSES A DEGREE OF CONFUSION AND IF NOT REPAIRED COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT THROUGH THE COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROLL OR THE VEHICLE BY SEPARATION OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS CLICKING, BINDING AND SUDDEN RELEASE WITH A DEGREE OF CONFUSION HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS INCLUDING WHILE SITTING STILL!

CHIEF COMPLAINT: PURCHASED VEHICLE USED WITH APPROX. 30,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ENGINE/ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH REQUIRE ME TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS AND ENGINE COILS ABOUT EVERY 50,000 MILES. I HAVE DONE THIS THREE TIME IN THE LAST SIX YEARS COSTING ME ABOUT 900+ EACH VISIT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR OPINIONS. I RECENTLY STARTED GETTING MISFIRING AGAIN. REPAIRED AGAIN ONE AT A TIME AS WELL AS SOME SPONTANEOUS OCCURRENCES THAT WERE VERY FRIGHTENING. FOR EXAMPLE: WIND SHIELD WIPERS GOING CRAZY, LIGHTS BLINKING, DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, WINDOWS ROLLING THEM SELVES DOWN AT NIGHT, HORN BLARING WHEN TURNING ON HEAD LIGHTS, AND THE BEST ONE RANDOM SMALL ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD I HAVE A FAULTY TIPM. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS VEHICLE DUE TO IT BEING ON YEAR OUT OF THE DOCUMENTED RECALL YEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. SOMETHING SHOULD BE MADE RIGHT.
