Ignition interlock is not working right. I turn off the car and pull out the keys. Power to the car and radio stay on resulting in a dead battery. This has occurred multiple times.

While car was at idle the electric cooling fan "broke apart" and damaged the radiator. Dodge stated that a recall was issued for the problem but only for cars in warm weather areas (I guess California is considered a cold weather area) dealer stated that even though I live in a warm weather area the recall will still not apply to my vehicle. I find this totally unacceptable and will not continue my business with Dodge any longer.
