ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING I'M READING, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE YEARS AND MODELS OF DAIMLER/ CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. I HAVE TRIED TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT TWICE AND IT'S NOT BROKEN.

THE HOUSING HAS MULTIPLE VENT HOLES IN IT AND IT IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT IS OFTEN EXPOSED TO MOISTURE! PLEASE HELP, I DO NO HAVE $1000.00 TO PAY CHRYSLER FOR THEIR POOR ENGINEERING OF THE CAR! THANKS

FOUR FOUR MONTHS NOW MY CAR HAS INTERMITTENTLY EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL FAILURES INCLUDING STUTTERING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF, WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMING ON THEIR OWN AND TOTAL SHUTDOWN ALL WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT VARYING SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD MY ALTERNATOR REPLACED TWICE, MY BATTERY REPLACED AND MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED OUT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND AM FAIRLY CERTAIN IT IS MY TIPM WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR THAT DODGE HAS DECIDED ISN'T WORTH THEIR TIME TO FIX. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THE RANDOM FAILURE OF MY TIPM AND THUSLY FIND IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ANYMORE.

BOUGHT CAR USED IN 2014. WITHIN A WEEK THE MANIVERTER NEEDED REPLACED. DASH LIGHTS RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. CANNOT SEE SPEEDOMETER OR OTHER GAUGES AT NIGHT. TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING WHEN IT IS HOT OUT , TRANS TEMP LIGHT COMES ON AND TRANS SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. CAR STALLS SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING WITH GAS CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS ON FRONT OF CAR REPLACED WITH PARTS FROM DODGE DEALER AND ARE BAD FOR A SECOND TIME . WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE VEHICLE.

HAVE HAD SEVERAL BATTERIES, STARTERS AND ALTERNATORS REPLACED OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS. CAR HAS 140,000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. NOW WHEN IT RAINS, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE WITH THE THE WARNING BELL SOUNDING. CAR WON'T GO OVER 20MPH. IF I TURN IT OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN (SOMETIMES AFTER A FEW TRIES) IT STARTS UP FINE. LIKE THE CAR BUT CAN'T AFFORD WHATEVER IS WRONG TO FIX IT.

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE PROBLEMS. HAVING ALL KINDS OF CASCADING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR WITH ONLY 70K MILES. DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM WILL NO LONGER WORK. ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY STOPS/STARTS. ACCELERATION ISSUES, ETC. CHRYSLER WANTS OVER A $1,000.00 TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, AND THE REPLACEMENT TIPM WOULD LIKELY FAIL IN SIMILAR MANNER SHORTLY THEREAFTER. EXTREMELY UNSAFE CAR DAY OR NIGHT.
