Design flaw forces Merrillville Police Department to sell its Dodge patrol cars
MERRILLVILLE, Ind. â The Merrillville Police Department announced it would be selling a fleet of Dodge Durango pursuit vehicles, claiming a design flaw has caused service disruption. Chief of Police Konstantinos Nuses on Friday said the department transitioned from Ford to Dodge In 2022 after not being able to acquire vehicles due to the impact of the pandemic and ongoing supply chain issues.
In May, they were promised a revised part within two weeks but have not received it. 'This situation is not just disappointing; it is fundamentally unfair. All of us â taxpayers and police departments alike â have paid for a compromised product, and Dodge has failed to take responsibility or provide a viable solution. Nor have they offered any type of compensation for the down time of these vehicles.
