I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH A 90 DAY FULL WARRANTY AND 2 YEAR POWER TRAIN. IN THE FIRST 90 DAYS I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TOYOTA USED LOT WHO IN TURN TOOK IT TO DODGE TO INVESTIGATE THE LOOSE STEERING AND ALSO THE STALLING ISSUES. DODGE REPEATEDLY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. TO DATE, A YEAR LATER, THEY WONT FIX THE FUEL PUMP WHICH I HAVE LEARNED IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS MODEL/YEAR AND CAUSES STALLING. I HAVE STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVE CHILDREN.... ITS VERY UPSETTING.

THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SENSOR KEEPS FLASHING AND I KEEP LOSING POWER TO MY CAR. IT STARTS SHAKING AND MAKING NOISES LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL. I HAVE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AS I HAVE KIDS AND HAVE TO TRAVEL ROADS WHERE THERE ARE VERY FEW SPOTS TO PULL OVER SAFELY WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC OR ON A MNT WITH A DROPOFF. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND HELP IS NOT ALWAYS CLOSE.

HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE EASY FOR THE CONSUMER AND COMPANY SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THE LOW BEAM PROBLEM THAT CAUSING LOT OF OWNERS TO REPAIRS COST OF 100 OF 900 DOLLARS. THIS IS A ECONOMY SAFETY ISSUE THAT INCREASE PRESSURE OF THE OWNERS WHO DO NOT AFFORDS SUCH A COSTLY REPAIRS AND DRIVE IN PRESSURE -- ALSO A ISSUE FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. ONE SMALL PROBLEM CAN CAUSE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS. DO NOT LET COMPANY GET OUT OF EASY EXCUSE THAT UNDER NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM.

WHENEVER THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE IT BEGINS JERKING AND SHAKING. WON'T SHIFT PROPERLY. IT HAD DONE BEFORE, AFTER I HAD OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS. AT THAT TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOW ANOTHER 4 YEARS LATER I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION.
