AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE PARTS ON MY AUTOMOBILE AND THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR. I AM WORRIED AND NERVOUS ABOUT THIS POSSIBLY FAILING IN MY CAR DUE TO ALL THE PAST INCIDENTS WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS REMEDIED IF NOT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. THIS HAS INCREASED MY RISK TO DANGER AND AS A RESULT I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT IN THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY TIMELINE ON WHEN THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED.

SUSPENSION
ON 10/5/2016, THE SUB FRAME ON MY CAR BROKE DUE TO IT BEING RUSTED THROUGH. THANK GOODNESS IT BROKE WHEN I WAS GOING AT A SLOW SPEED, AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I HAD TO BE TOWED AND IT WAS PUT ONTO A LIFT. THE GARAGE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE CAR'S SUB FRAME, WHICH WAS BROKEN AND RUSTED COMPLETELY, BUT THE REST OF THE CAR IS PERFECT, NOT A SPECK OF RUST. WHEN I CALLED THE DODGE CORPORATION NUMBER I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS, ONLY PRIOR YEARS, WHICH HAS THE SAME PART! I WAS TOLD THAT I LIVE IN A HIGH CORROSION AREA, DUE TO SALT ON OUR ROADS IN THE WINTER. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, THEN WHY IS THIS THE ONLY PART IN THE CAR THAT IS RUSTED? I WAS CHARGED $1032.86 FOR THE NEW PART TO BE INSTALLED, AND IT ALSO HAD TO BE ALIGNED. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND SEEN A NUMEROUS NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER PEOPLE. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER EMPLOYEES STATED THAT THEY SEE THIS HAPPENING FREQUENTLY!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR MY TRANSAXLE OVERHEATING LIGHT WILL ILLIMINATE. MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND NOT KEEP THE SPEED UP. I HAVE TO PULL OVER UNTIL THE LIGHT GOES OUT THEN I CAN CONTINUE MY DRIVING BUT IT WILL DO IT ALL AGAIN 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH I WAS JUST ON A TRIP 2 HOURS FROM HOME. IN A 30 MINUTE TIME FRAME I HAD TO PULL OVER 6 TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I HAVE NOTICED MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE OFF AND ON KNOB FOR HEAT/AIR.. I ALSO HAD A CD IN MY CD PLAYER AS I WAS TRAVELING ON A ROYAL ROAD, A STRANGE SMELL WAS ALSO COMING FROM THE SMOKE. I PULLED OVER LIFTED THE HOOD AND SEEN NO FIRE. I TURNED THE KNOB OFF, REMOVED THE CD AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED MY CAR. I AM WARY TO PUT A CD BACK IN THE PLAYER... I THINK THAT IS WHAT CAUSED IT BUT IT MAY HAVE BEEN MY TEMPERATURE KNOB,, HAD THE BLOWER ON FOR COOL AIR VENT.... NOT AC OR HEAT, JUST VENT AIR ON HIGH.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR WILL DECIDE TO SLOW DOWN AND WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THERE IS NO POWER OR ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE CROSSING SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I DON'T GET ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, JUST LOSS OF POWER. ALSO, WHEN STARTING THE CAR, SOMETIMES AFTER I HAVE STOPPED TURNING THE KEY, IT CONTINUES TO "START" ON ITS OWN.
