2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

I BOUGHT A 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IN FEBRUARY 2019. DECEMBER 20, 2019 I WAS DRIVING HOME AND ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS AND WARNINGS CAME ON, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, AND THE ODOMETER AND GAS GAUGE WENT DOWN WHILE TURNING ONTO MY HOME STREET. . WE TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER LOOKING AND TESTING THINGS THEY SAID IT WAS THE INSTRUMENTAL CLUSTER PANEL.

AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE OT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS BUT CANT SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING. ITS HAPPENED ALOT OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS. NERVOUS THE AIRBAGS MIGHT DEPLOY FOR NO REASON.

THE BRAKE SWITCHES ON THESE VEHICLES MAY MALFUNCTION, KEEPING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THIS IS THE SAME WARNING IN THE RECALL FOR 2017 DODGE CARAVANS, YET MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO FIX. THE CURRENT RECALL SAYS " CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2017 DODGE CARAVAN AND JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES. THE BRAKE SWITCHES ON THESE VEHICLES MAY MALFUNCTION, KEEPING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND/OR ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED."

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE SET. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, I LOST ALL CONNECTION AND MY COMPUTER WENT WHACK. ALL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON ETC . IT SLOWED MY CAR DOWN, AND RESET MY RADIO ETC . BUT THAN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ALL CAME BACK ON AND I PROCEEDED . BUT SCARED ME AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS WRECK. IT'S SCHEDULED TO GO INTO THE SHOP AND BE CHECKED OVER THIS WEEK.
