SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I'VE HAD THE ARM BAR AND BALL JOINT REPLACED TWICE IN A YEAR'S TIME, WHICH CAUSES A GRINDING NOISE. I'VE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED THREE TIMES ALONG WITH RATTLE CLIPS, IN THE LAST YEAR, WITH NO PREVAIL IN CHANGING THE NOISE NOR HIGH SPEED-BRAKING OSCILLATING. A CALIPER HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED. WHILE SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS, THE CAR UNPREDICTABLY STALLS-- I'VE TRIED TO REPRODUCE THE SETTING TO HAVE THE ISSUE HAPPEN WHEN A TECHNICIAN TESTS IT, BUT IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN UNPREDICTABLY. THE CAR HAS LEAKED FROM SOME ENTRY POINT TO CAUSE THE FLOOR BOARDS TO BE WET, AND IN THE LAST YEAR, THE SUN ROOF SEEMS TO BE LEAKING AS I HAVE WATER POURING ONTO ME FROM THE FRONT DOME LIGHTT. THE WATER IS CAUSING MOLD, WHICH IS NOT BENEFICIAL TO THE FAMILY I DRIVE WITH. BASED ON THE NHTSA SITE AND THE THOUSANDS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS, THESE ARE PRETTY WILDLY KNOWN ISSUES BY DODGE, DESPITE THE LACK OF COMPLAINTS ON THESE SITES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE (70 MPH) MY ETC LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND DROP DOWN IN SPEED. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD QUICK ENOUGH BEFORE I WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY CAR ULTIMATELY ENDED HAVING TO BE TOWED BECAUSE THE ETC LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DRIVE MORE THAN 2-5 MPH. I AM GETTING RID OF THIS CAR. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN IT SINCE I TAKE THE TURN PIKE EVERY DAY.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR STATE HIGHWAY, MY TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HEARD A WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND MY VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHEN IT STALLED OUT. I LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND STARTED THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY CONDUCTED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOSE GAS CAP THAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I WENT TO THE GAS STATION WAS ABOUT TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I DROVE SEVERAL PLACES BEFORE THE INCIDENT. IF IT WAS A GAS CAP ISSUE, THE CAR WOULD HAVE STALLED OUT BEFORE THAT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
