I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 5/2014, THE FOLLOWING DAY I NOTICED ODOMETER JUMPED UP ABOUT 300 MILES AND I LIVE ONLY ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALER. I ALSO NOTICED THAT TPM LIGHT CAME ON AND HALF THE RADIO WAS LIT. I TOOK IT BACK THE VERY NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD NEED IT TO ORDER A NEW CLUSTER PANEL AND REPLACE THE RADIO. THEY ALSO CLAIMED THEY REPLACED ALL 4 TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS AS WELL AS TPM MODULE. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS THEN I STARTED GETTING EVEN MORE LIGHTS TO TURN ON FROM THE CLUSTER PANEL. NOW I HAVE THE 4X4 AMBER LIGHT, TRAC CONTROL, TPM MAINT, AND THE ABS LIGHTS TO TURN ON, I FEEL I HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1. I NEED HELP. TOTAL I PAID ABOUT 13,000 FOR THE CAR. I NEED ANSWERS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE MAIN COMPUTER IS DEFECTIVE. ITS NOT RECOGNIZING A CHASIS GROUND. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A FATALITY TO GET CHRYSLER TO LOOK INTO THIS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. I FEEL THE CHRYSLER DEALER ALSO KEPT INFORMATION PRIVATE TO TRY AND MAKE A SALE. M GOING TO THE LOCAL MEDIA IF THIS ISN'T RESOLVED. *TR
