ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOT IT DIAGNOSED AND CODE SUGGESTED CHANGING THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. PURCHASED PART AND HAD IT INSTALLED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. AN HOUR LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED AND THE ENGINE KNOCKED WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 35 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DROVE IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC. THE CODES SUGGESTED CHANGING THE SENSOR, AND A MISFIRE OF THE 1ST AND 4TH SPARK PLUGS. THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR WAS CHANGED, THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, AND ALL SPARK PLUGS CHANGED. STILL THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR WILL NOT GO ABOVE 30 MPH DESPITE THE GAS PEDAL BEING PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. KNOCKING ENGINE AND STALLING. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SUGGESTED I ALLOW THEM TO TAKE THE ENGINE APART FOR 800 DOLLARS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. CAR CURRENTLY OVER 80,000 MILES APPROXIMATELY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
: "WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER HEAT /AIR. WHILE EITHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING, NO HEATED AIR EXITS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, NOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROST, LOWER AND CENTER CONSOLE VENTS. HEATED AIR ONLY EXITS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE DASH VENTS. PROBLEM PERSISTS THROUGH ALL CABIN AIR MODES, AND CIRCULATIONS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTS VISIBILITY AND PASSENGER SAFETY BY FAILING TO DEFROST/DEFOG WINDOWS AND KEEPING CABIN TEMPURATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN)." DOES NOT MATTER IF VEHICLE IS MOVING OR PARKED.

GOING HOME FROM WORK, APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES FROM MY JOB, AND TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-42 MPH MY ENGINE JUST STOPPED....NO SOUNDS, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING. JUST TRIED TO UP MY SPEED TO GO UP A VERY SMALL INCLINE, AND NOTHING...HEADLIGHTS STILL WORKED, NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES.......MANAGED TO PULL OVER.........SHAKING LIKE A LEAF ON A TREE, BECAUSE I AM 65 YEARS OLD, ALONE, NO FAMILY TO CALL, NO ONE.....AND THIS WAS A LITTLE AFTER 9PM AT NIGHT ON NOV 2ND. CALLED MY MOBILE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE GAVE ME THIS INFO TO FILE A COMPLAINT. HE SAID THIS IS VERY SERIOUS.

IN MY CAR THERE IS NO HEAT. AT FIRST IT STARTED WITH JUST HEAT BLOWING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE AND SLOWLY THE HEAT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR MAKES A LOUD TICKING NOISE BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON, AND EVEN WHEN IT IS JUST SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT OFF.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN HEAT IS ON, THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD (I LIVE IN WI SO, WHEN I SAY COLD, I MEAN COLD) AIR FROM EVERY BLOWING PORT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE... OCCURS AT ALL TIMES, WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. HAVE TRIED A FEW THINGS RECCOMENDED ON MULTIPLE OTHER PAGES BY PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. NO HELP. THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS DO BLOW WARM AIR BUT, NOT CLOSE TO AS HOT AS IT SHOULD BE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE RIGHT AROUND 118,000 MILES. I START MY CAR 20 MINUTES BEFORE I LEAVE MY HOUSE AT 5AM TO BRING MY YOUNG CHILDREN TO DAYCARE AND BE TO WORK BY 6. WHEN GETTING IN AFTER BEING STARTED FOR 20 MIN... BARELY ANY DIFFERENCE IN TEMP WHICH, IS FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU DRIVE WITH YOUR BABIES 35 MINUTES IN THE COLD COLD COLD ALONG WITH SEVERAL DEER AND A WINDSHIELD THAT WON'T DEFROST COMPLETELY. HAVE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM DEALER AND, SOMEHOW (WHAT A SHOCK) THERE IS NO HELP FOR ME AS 'THE ISSUES BEING DESCRIBED SOUND LIKE IT WAS BROUGHT ON BY YOU, THE VEHICLE OWNER OR, ENVIORMENT FACTORS'... IT HURTS KNOWING YOU ARE A LOYAL AND HONEST HUMAN WHO WORKS HARD EVERY DAY TO BARELY MAKE ENDS MEET AND THEN... TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER SLANDERED BY THE (SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS EXTRA) LIFETIME WARRANTY THAT THE SALESMAN SO CONFIDENTLY SWORE BY ON THE DAY OF PURCHASE. OWNER MISUSE? THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES WHO OWN THE EXACT SAME CAR... SORRY BUT, SAFE TO SAY THAT ISN'T COINCIDENTAL. I HAVE CHILDREN AND GROCERIES AND GAS TO GET TO WORK AND SCHOOL AND LIFE... IT MAY SOUND RIDICULOUS TO SOME BUT, THE $900-$1600 THEY ARE SAYING IT WOULD COST... DOESN'T COME EASILY FOR JUST EVERYONE. I'M JUST HOPING THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL CHOOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND, STAND BEHIND THE VERY WORDS THAT LEAD THEM TO WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY IN LIFE. FAITH IN THESE HUMANS WILL HOPEFULLY BRING APPROPRIATE SOLUTIONS.

THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN I SET THE KNOB ON HOT BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR AND WON'T HEAT UP. ITS TERRIBLE FOR IN THE WINTER ONLY HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD GETS UNLOGGED AND THE OTHER HALF I CAN'T SEE OUT OF. IVE READ SOMEWHERE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR SOMEWHERE AND DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COSTS FOR FIXING THEM.
