ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR WOULD SPUTTER LIKE IT WAS HAVING A HARD TIME ACCELERATING THEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ON MY WAY TO A DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I WAS MERGING ONTO A BUSY INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR WENT FROM 60-65 MPH DOWN TO 30-35 MPH WHILE I WAS STILL TRYING TO SPEED UP TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. THIS INCIDENT CAME VERY CLOSE TO RESULTING IN ME GETTING REAR ENDED. THE NEXT DAY I WENT AND HAD THE WHOLE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED (JANUARY 2013). IN OCTOBER 2013 I STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS, THE THROTTLE BODY LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD SPUTTER LIKE IT COULDN'T PICK UP SPEED OR IT WOULD REV UP WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND IT RAN OKAY FOR A WEEK OR TWO. THEN SEPTEMBER 2013 I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP YET AGAIN, THEY SAID IT WAS OLD CODES CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY CLEARED THE CODES AND IT WAS FINE FOR A LITTLE BIT. THEN AROUND APRIL 2014 IT WOULD START UP AGAIN. IT WOULD RUN FINE AND ON OCCASION THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON. BUT IN AUGUST 2014 IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. THE RPMS WOULD REV UP FROM 1 TO 3 WHILE IN PARK. I WOULD BE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WOULD REV UP FOR NO REASON. IT HAS COMPLETELY STALLED OUT ON ME TWO DAYS IN A ROW. LUCKILY IT WAS WHEN I WAS IN PARKING LOTS. THIS IS A NEWER CAR AND THERE IS NO LOGICAL REASON TO HAVE THIS MUCH ONGOING TROUBLE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY EXCEPT SOME KIND OF DEFECT. IT IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS. BECAUSE IT WILL ACT UP A DAY OR TWO THEN BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR A SHOP TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THE CAR IS DOING. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT ACTS UP AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT'LL BE FINE. BUT THE FACT THAT IT WILL STALL OUT OR DECELERATE WITH NO NOTICE IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY SINCE I DRIVE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL REPLACED IN THE WINTER OF 2013. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. AFTER SEEING THE MANY COMPLAINTS HERE I WAS SURE CHRYSLER WOULD COVER IT, BUT THEY DID NOT. THEY, IN FACT, TOLD ME THAT THEY EXPLICITLY WERE NOT COVERING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS PART! TODAY, I LEARNED THAT NOW I AM HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AGAIN. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT WORK WHENEVER THEY WANT, NO RHYME OR REASON. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO WORKS WHENEVER IT WANTS AND THE AUTO TECHNICIANS CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY BECAUSE THERE IS NOT WARNING LIGHT COMING ON MY DASH. I LEARNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL RELATED TO THE TPMS CONNECTORS AND HOW THEY CORRODE THEN CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BUT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY. I CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN TODAY AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON HOW TO ESCALATE MY PROBLEMS. I TOLD HIM THAT WAS ODD AND HE SAID TO ME "IS IT REALLY ODD? IF YOU WERE THE CORPORATION WOULD YOU GIVE IT OUT?" I'LL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE ALL LISTED HERE AND SAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRONICS IN THE FRONT TWO WINDOWS. THE PASSENGER SIDE QUIT WORKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SWITCH. APPROX. TWO WEEKS LATER THE DRIVER WINDOW WON'T GO DOWN BUT WILL GO UP. ONE OF THE ENGINE PORTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STUCK OPEN AND I HAVE TRIED USING SEA FOAM. BOTH FRONT STRUTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME A MONTH AGO. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR THREE WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE CAR THAT WAS THREE YEAR'S AGO. IT SEEMS TO BE ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER HAS TO GET FIXED ON THIS CAR. I HAVE REPAIRED THE A/C UNIT ON IT TWICE THIS SUMMER. NOW THE POWERING STEERING UNIT IS MAKING A NOISE WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. WOULDN'T RECOMMENDED THIS CAR TO ANYONE. NICE LOOKING BUT FALLS APART TO EASY IN A SHORT TIME FRAME. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2011. SINCE 2011 IT HAS STALLED OUT ON ME 4 TIMES WHEN I AM AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN A RED LIGHT TURNS GREEN. ONE OF THE STALLS IT HAPPENED AS I WAS MAKING A UTURN AND A CAR NEARLY HIT ME WHILE I WAS TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER AND EACH TIME THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS SITUATION IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED BY ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE. I HAVE NOTICED THE CAR HAS A VERY SLIGHT SURGE AT IDLE OR AT A LIGHT WHEN THE AC IS RUNNING AND MENTIONED THIS TO THE TECHS BUT THEY STATED ITS NORMAL. DOESN'T SEEM NORMAL TO ME AS THE CAR DIDN'T DO IT WHEN PURCHASED AND NOW IT RANDOMLY STALLS. THEY DID FLASH THE ONBOARD COMPUTER BUT THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. GUESS IT WILL TAKE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BEFORE THE DEALER OR DODGE BELIEVES THERE IS A ISSUE. *TR
