Crash

This recall came out 1.5 years ago and there still is no remedy. At a car wash my truck wouldn’t stop and I slid into a concrete pole and damaged the fender and headlight. The corporate office told me, when I called, that currently there is nothing that they can do.

I have interacted with Stallantis Customer Service, and my local dealer -both state: Lights are working as designed.
