Drive a Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep? Here's what to do now - CNNMoney
Which cars : If you drive one of several Ram pickup models, or a 2009 Dodge Durango, a 2009-2011 Dodge Dakota or a 2009 Chrysler Aspen, your car qualifies for a buyback if it hasn't been fixed yet. Eligible Ram pickups include the 1500 from model years 2008-2009 and the 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 from model years 2008-2012. Chrysler said that there are less than 200,000 of these vehicles on the roads. To make matters worse, Chrysler didn't make enough replacement parts or failed to provide "effective" parts after the initial recall, said Gordon Trowbridge, spokesman for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Other Ram pickups have also been recalled for steering issues, but Trowbridge said that many more of those vehicles were fixed, so they're not included in this program. You can walk away with the all that money in cash, or use the money toward purchasing a new vehicle. The dealer will negotiate that value with you when you take it in. Check Kelly Blue Book or another used-car value benchmark to see what yours is potentially worth. Which cars: If you have a 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and you haven't fixed the fuel tank problem it was recalled for, Fiat Chrysler is required to let you trade in your vehicle and give you a $1,000 credit.
