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 completion of roll-away and park lock rod recalls.
- Request cruise control, stalling, and brake module recall records.
- Inspect exterior lights and ask about electrical or engine faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
