TOOK TO MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE ACCULATOR CONTROL SYSTEM (PER WHAT THE CODE SHOWED) DEALER SAYS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THIS CAR BARLEY HAS 80,000 MILES AND ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT. SCARED MYSELF AND DAUGHTER BAD. THIS WAS A VERY BUSY ROAD.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON , I ASKED THE SALES PERSON WHY AND HE SAID HE HASN'T BEEN DROVE IN A WHILE . HE TOOK IT FOR A RIDE AND WHEN HE CAME BACK THE LIGHT WAS OFF . A WEEK LATER IT CAME BACK ON AND I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE THEY SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION COIL . I FIXED THAT AND IT STILL COMES UP RANDOMLY. NOW MY CAR STILL SOUNDS HORRIBLE WHEN I START IT AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE STARTER AND I'VE BARLEY HAD THE CAR SINCE MARCH . ALSO MY CAR TURNS OFF RANDOMLY NOW WHILE I'M IN A REVERSE MOTION. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T GO AWAY . I REPLACED TIRES AND THEY SAY IT'S A SENSOR. A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND THE SALES PERSON NEVER TOLD ME THERE WAS ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.

NO HEAT OR DEFROST ON PASSENGERS SIDE OF VEHICLE: I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE WINDOW HAS FROST ON IT OR FOGS DURING DRIVING. ON NOVEMBER 20, 2017 I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO HEAT OR DEFROST ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF CAR. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS PLUGGED. THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE DODGE WARRANTY AND THE AFTER MARKET WARRANTY I HAD BOUGHT WITH THE VEHICLE FELT IT WAS FROM "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". DOING RESEARCH ON-LINE. I HAVE FOUND THAT DODGE KNOWS OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND SAND LEFT BEHIND DURING PRODUCTION BUT WON'T ADMIT TO IT. I AM HEADED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN (NOV 14, 2018) TO REPORT THAT THE REPAIR THAT THEY MADE LAST NOVEMBER NEEDS TO BE DONE AGAIN, I HAVE NO HEAT OR DEFROST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE WINDOW HAS FROST ON IT OR FOGS DURING DRIVING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
COLD AIR BLOWING OUT OF PASSENGERS SIDE WHILE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT, AND MAKES ANNOYING CLICKING SOUND. THE ACTUATORS IN THE DASH KEEP GOING OUT!!! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE NO HEAT BECAUSE CHRYSLER USED CHEAP PLASTIC IN THE ACTUATORS THAT ARE CAUSING THEM TO WEAR OUT EVERY YEAR. AND THE DASH MAKES THE CLICKING SOUND EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF! THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN YOU BUY A CAR TO TRANSPORT YOUR CHILDREN AND THERE ARE RECALLS THAT I AM NEVER GETTING NOTIFIED ABOUT.

THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS BLOWING OUT WARM AIR WHILE THE VENTS ABOVE THE RADIO AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ARE BLOWING OUT COLD AIR. TURNING THE CAR OFF OR TURNING THE AIR FROM COLD TO HOT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. DEFROST IS NOT GETTING WARM ENOUGH TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS

WHEN HEAT OR AC IS TURNED ON EITHER IN MOTION OR NOT THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER DASHBOARD ABOUT FIVE CLICKS AND THE CLICKS WILL STOP AND THE HEAT WILL COME OUT OF DRIVER SIDE, BUT COOL AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. IF TURNED OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL REPEAT THE FIVE CLICKING NOISE AND THE HEAT WILL KICK ON. ALSO THIS "HEAT" IS LUKEWARM AT BEST.
