POWER TRAIN
STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN GOING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR CAR RPM WOULD SPIKE HIGH THEN VIOLENTLY SHIFT GEARS. PAST FEW MONTHS IT'S STARTING TO DO IT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR ALSO. ALSO SOMETIMES WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WILL START OFF IN SECOND GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 3RD TO 4TH AT ALL AND WILL NOT LET YOU SHIFT MANUALLY. HAVE TO PULL OVER PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN CAR OFF. THIS HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN THE PAST BUT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO MAKING THINGS RIGHT.

MESSAGE ON DASH INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, PER PLACING THE SHIFTER INTO PARK POSITION AND IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF WITH THE PUSH BUTTON, UNTIL THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY, WHICH CAN TAKE PUTTING IT BACK INTO GEAR, OR PUSHING THE AUTOMATIC START BUTTON ON THE KEY FAUB OR WAITING FOR FOR THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH TO GO AWAY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY BATTERY LIGHT COME ON. THAT IS DUE TO ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN ALL MY ELECTRICAL DEVICES WHERE GOING ON AND OFF. AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND UNLOCKED DUE TO BEING A ELECTRONIC STEERING. WHAT I DID I TRIED TO PULL OVER AND STOP AT A SAFE PLACE AND WAITING AND THE VEHICLE WHEN BACK TO NORMAL MODE EXCEPT THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE MESSAGE IN MY CLUSTER THAT SAID "BATTERY SAFE MODE". SO I WENT BACK HOME AND CHECKED THE VOLTAGE ON MY BATTERY THAT READ 11.8 TO 12.3. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL OF THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALER REPLACED IT AND SAID IT'S OK NOW. I TOOK IT HOME AND ON THE WAY HOME IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND GOT IT CHECKED. AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND CORROSION THE SIGNAL PLUG OF THE ALTERNATOR. THEY CLEANED IT AND SAID IT OK NOW. A WEEK PASSED BY AND IT HAPPEN AGAIN ALL ELECTRICAL STARTED TO TURN ON AND OFF INCLUDING THE STEERING LOCKING UP AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. AND I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALER. AND NOW THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE IF IT'S NOT THE ALTERNATOR. CHARGING SYSTEM IS NOT PART OF THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY CHARGE FOR THAT ISSUE. ISN'T THE CHARGING SYSTEM PART OF THE ALTERNATOR LIKE THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR THAT IS IN THE PCM? IF THAT IS A BAD COMPONENT AND MAKING THE ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION IT'S A PROBLEM FOR NOT MAKING ANY CURRENT. ALL THIS HAPPEN IN MOTION ON STREET AND ON HIGHWAY. ALL THIS STARTED ON JUNE 3 2020 TILL NOW JUNE 25 2020. *TR
