Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify park lock rod and stalling recall repairs.
- Confirm cruise control and side airbag recall completion.
- Ask for electrical fault diagnoses and power train repair records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chrysler dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
