TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE SHIFTER CABLE REPLACE DUE TO A CURRENT RECALL. MY CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK BECAUSE OF THIS, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS FIXED BUT A DAY LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY HAD IT A DAY AND A HALF, THEY FINALLY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT NOW MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTER SOLENOID WAS BAD AND THAT IT WOULD BE $800 TO FIX. I TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO ANOTHER MECHANIC BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL AND I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY THAT AMOUNT IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO. THE OTHER MECHANIC TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HE LOOKED AT IT BECAUSE MORE THAN LIKELY THEY CAUSED THE DAMAGE WHEN THEY WERE REPLACING THE BUSHING. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO THE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE TECH SAID THEY DIDN'T DAMAGE IT AND THAT THE RECALL WAS ALL THEY WERE TOLD TO FIX AND THAT THEY WEREN'T TOLD TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR NOT COMING OUT OF PARK. I HAVE THE PAPER WORK THAT STATES WHY THE CAR WAS THERE AND IT STATES THAT, THAT WAS THE REASON I BROUGHT IT IN. I'VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH A CAR BEFORE. DODGE SHOULD HAVE NEVER SOLD THESE VEHICLES. IN 2015 THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE TRANSMISSION DUE TO A RECALL AND MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2013 AND I TOOK BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY OTHER TIME I GET GAS TELLING ME THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CAP WHICH THERE ISN'T, I HAD IT CHECKED.

CAR NEEDS SHIFTER CABLE BUSHINGS ON THE TRANSMISSION, WITHOUT THE PROPER BUSHINGS, THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER MAY SHOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHIFTED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THE NEW PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE NOR DID ANYONE KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING THOUGH I WAS PROMISED AN UPDATE. MEANWHILE I DRIVE THE CAR WITH GREAT FEAR, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ANY PHONE CONNECTED TO U-CONNECT WILL DISCONNECT WHILE TALKING ON THE CAR STEREO. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN I HAVE TO LOOK AT MY PHONE WHILE DRIVING TO TALK ON SPEAKER RATHER THAN THE CAR STEREO. I'VE HAD ENOUGH, AND I WANT I WANT THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AIRBAG ' I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT A FEW DAYS AGO. WHEN I WAS HIT HEAD ON, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO PUT OUT THERE THAT MY CAR WAS ALSO TOTALED AND WHEN I WAS HIT I WAS GOING 45, AND THE OTHER DRIVER WAS GOING 60. WHICH IS QUITE A HEFTY IMPACT FOR A SMALL CAR BEING HIT BY A LIFTED 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA, AND FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY. I AM GOING TO BE SUING DODGE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL AND AS OF MAY 13TH I'M STILL WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AND STILL HAVING TO MAKE THE PAYMENT PLUS INSURANCE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GET MY CAR BUT IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ENOUGH TIMES I FILED FOR A BREECH OF WARRANTY BUT CHRYSLER ONLY OFFERED ME 4000 TAKE AWAY THE 2000 FOR ATTORNEY FEES SO 2000 IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH. I DID NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER AND NOW I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE BUT IT'S HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 HAD NEW ENGINE NEW TURBO NEW STARTER NEW GASKETS NEW RADIATOR AND MUCH MORE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN BECAUSE OF NEGLECT. I TRULY FEEL I HAVE A LEMON ON MY HANDS AND NEED HELP GETTING INTO A SAFE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT TOLD ME TO GET A LAWYER SO I DID BUT UNLESS WE AGREED ON AN AMOUNT THEY WOULDN'T PROCEED. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I'M TRYING TO GET A LAWYER THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS OR HELP ME GET A SAFER CAR FOR ME AND MY KIDS.*DT CONSUMER STATED PCM/TCM HAS BEEN A RECALL IN THE PAST ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON IS CODE P2096 WHICH CAUSED LEAK IN ONE OF THE HOSES.*JB *JS

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN DRIVING. RANDOMLY STALLS EVEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BREAK. CAN INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CAR ACCIDENT OCCURRING. MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GO FASTER BECAUSE THEN CAR STALLS A LOT AND CAUSES BREAK LIGHT TO FLASH ON AND OFF. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS ON DRIVE ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES THE CAR CAN FEEL JITTERY WHEN BEING ON PARK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY CAR RANDOMLY WILL NOT START THINKING THAT IT IS NOT IN PARK. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DIAGNOSTIC ELECTRONICS TO GO HAYWIRE. I'M TOLD THERE IS A BUSHING THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO PROVIDE THIS PART TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THE BUSHING IS DESIGNED TO CAUSE THE CAR TO KNOW IT IS IN PARK SO IT WILL START. I'M ALSO TOLD THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, BUT I RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE.
