ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The dodge dealership had me to come in to reprogram my cars pcm(under Recall) because it was burning a quart of oil in less than 300 miles and getting extremely hot but now the engine has less oil burn as much as before but has less horsepower(tested by plugin meter) and has a ton of blowby that it blows oil out of drain plug there is no error codes or anything but the extended warranty test for a new engine isnt covered because they reprogrammed the pcm and to get a new engine under their extended warranty i would have to lose the amount of oil that i was previously before they touched the PCM they waited to show me the extended warranty after they reprogrammed it a year prior withholding that i could been eligible for new engine without catastrophic damage this car also has bcm 3 that has severe parasitic drain making the car unsafe all the way around on all 2015 models

The vehicle’s gear shifter intermittently locks in the Park position, preventing the key fob from being removed from the ignition. When this occurs, the shifter must be manually wiggled back and forth to release the key. This malfunction poses a potential safety risk, as the driver may be delayed in exiting or securing the vehicle in certain situations. The issue occurs intermittently and has not yet been inspected by a dealer or service center. No warning lights or messages appeared prior to the malfunction.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
I am the original owner of this vehicle and have used this vehicle as my primary vehicle that has been well maintained in excellent mechanical condition with no accidents. The issue is the continuous flexing of the wire harness routed from the truck to body opening which continues to wiring shorts and breakage resulting in failure of the rear back up lamps, rear taillamp lighting and back up camera operation. Failure of these critical safety related items provide increased risk of personnel injury and property due to loss of rear visibility to the vehicle operator along with disabling the back up light signature to warn surrounding vehicle traffic of intended backup maneuvering leading to personnel injury and vehicle collision. A caution signal of backup lamp outage appears on the instrument panel along with continued outage and flicking of the rear camera function. This wire harness has been repaired at the Chrysler Dodge dealership multiple times via a deductible warranty charged to vehicle owner, never resolving the failure from once again reoccurring. Recently the rear camera and backup lamps have again failed which the Chrysler dealership has identified as being within the previously repaired wire harness. Due to the multiple times the dealership has attempted to make repairs, the dealership service records now state the wiring failures can no longer be repaired due to the poor harness condition. These aforementioned safety lighting /rear lighting devices are no longer functioning and vehicle service being denied. Repairs to this wire harness have only been made at the Chrysler dealership. This wire harness is a well known problem area to owners and a "nuisance problem" to vehicle repair technicians. A more robust harness design and routing engineered to account for wire harness flexing to account for typical trunk open/closing to maintain the expected integrity and operation of these safety items.

AIR BAGS
The check air bag light has come on in the dash back in the fall of 2024. I took it to Tacoma Dodge in Tacoma Washington to have it repaired on October 11,2024. It was determined that the ORC module was at fault and the part was ordered. I took the vehicle back on October 30, 2024, to have the part installed. I had to bring the vehicle back to Tacoma Dodge on November 5, 2025 because the air bag light had come back on. It was determined that the OCM module (seat weight sensor) was bad. I was notified on December 11, 2025, by Tacoma Dodge that the part needed was no longer available. I bought the car new in October of 20215, and it currently has 52712 miles on it. How can a manufacturer discontinue a part that is part of the SRS?

My car keeps going into neutral when I’m going down the interstate or highway with my eight-year-old in the car and I have to pull over and restart the car for it to go anywhere. There’s no warning it just does it. It says there are no unrepaired recalls on my car I bought it used, but when I looked up the recalls for the car, there were five and I know at least three of them are wrong with my car. Is there anything I can do to get these fixed? I am a single mother and I cannot afford to have it fixed. Is there anyone who can help me? To recall, I’m pretty sure it is wrong. On other Dodge darts was the transmission control module or something like that and my car is doing the same thing only it’s saying I don’t have a recall for my car. This happens on a daily basis.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I am having an intermittent, no communication with TCM, Active stabiliy control light comes on, the vehicle feels like it pops into neutral jarring the vehicle and once this happens i have code U0101 in PCM,ABS, ESM, BCM,IPC,RFH along with a U11C2 code in the PCM. also sometimes when this happens if i turn the vehicle off it won’t start again. I have not brought it to the dealership as i can’t afford it, but 2013-2015 dodge dart has a recall for the tcm because of the tcm bracket, causing almost ever issue my vehicle has. And i was told it is engine specific but the 1.4,2.0, and 2.4 all came with the same TCM and bracket. I aquired this vehicle 2 months ago and i have had the issue intermittently since i got it. i am a mechanic over 10 years and i have replaced the alternator due to the vehicle not starting after being parked. that seemed to fix the issue but several days later it happened again. then i had no issue with a no start again until today. I replaced all the star connectors due to having communication codes in so many modules. and oddly enough i had no issues for several days, then the ASC light came on and the vehicle jarred again but it only had a U0101 code in the ABS module and sometimes the PCM but no other modules and also the problem was not happening daily like before i would go several days without a issue i would clear the codes and had no issue the rest of the day. until today i just started the vehicle and while parked the light came on and i scanned it and it had codes in 6 modules again and it is now doing it back to back and i turn the engine off to clear the codes and they won’t clear and also the vehicle won’t start but if i cycle the key and open the door several times it allow the codes to eventually clear and the vehicle to start but shortly after the light comes back on and i have the same issue again. and it seems to happen mainly when i have a passenger.because the tcm is on the passenger floor board.

The recall was for the PCM, which is the powertrain control module. Dodge reprogrammed it, but now my mechanic is telling me it actually needs to be replaced—and I’m being charged for that. I don’t believe the recall resolved the core issue, and I’m concerned the repair wasn’t thorough enough. I’d like to request that my case be escalated or reviewed for possible goodwill assistance or reimbursement. I have the VIN and documentation if you need it.
