Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify VIN recall status for the park lock rod, driveshaft, and airbags.
3. Request cruise-control and stalling recall records; ask about engine shutdowns.
4. Check the camera in Stealth Mode and ask about electrical or body defects.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
