What owners wrote
Case description I had a recalls on my 2008 dodge magnum for airbags, and ignition. Had it towed to comminwealth dodge cause it stopped running while driving. They replaced the ignition, and supposedly replaced airbags also. The ignition allowed the car to then restart. However when I went to pick the car up it ran really badly, and had all the warning lights in the dash on. I confronted the dealership about this before even leaving the lot. They told me I would have to pay to have it looked at.
