While driving whether it be on the interstate going 70 mph or on a back road doing 30 mph the vehicle will completely lose power and the only way I can get power back before someone hits me in my rear end is to put it in neutral real fast then turn the key and start the vehicle back or if able to get to side of road and put it in park and start the vehicle back up

Back when I bought this vehicle in November, I noticed an excessively loud noise when breaking. This noise takes place when it’s cold and or wet (snow makes it worse). I have contacted 2 Dodge dealership and both claim nothing is wrong. After months of hearing this horrific sound when it’s cold and or wet, I contacted Dodge themselves to get this resolved. Dodge has the absolute worst customer service and finally after 3 weeks, have agreed to have my car looked at by a Dodge tech. Dropped my car off yesterday at the dealership and Dodge just reported to me today, they are unable to replicate the sound (it’s not cold or wet). I advised them multiple times via phone and at drop off yesterday that the sound cannot be replicated unless it’s cold and or wet out. Needless to say, they are trying to give me a vehicle back when the breaks sound like they are going out during those times and squealing extremely loud! For a brand new vehicle! This is a HUGE safety concern and I have 2 kids under 3 that ride in this car. The contact called to informed her front and rear brakes and rotors seized to function.

The alternator failed, and my battery would not take a charge. Had scanner used and report showed faulty alternator. I was driving and went into a parking slot, when I put gear in park, all power went out. The it wouldn't turn on, occasionally lights would flicker on and off. Tried to jump start it several times but it wouldn't take. Finally got a jump, truck started but the couldn't change gears. I have not taken it yet to get it diagnosed. I truly feel this issue should be a recall as I had no warning whatsoever. My vehicle has no power, and is well maintained

Head rest deployed outside of “extended warranty “ its a safety hazard. This part should be total recalled. The rear passenger door latch gets stuck or pops open randomly. It will not close when this happens and it has come open upon locking and driving! Again dangerous where children sit. This is with child lock on or off the problem continues. The third complaint is the seat belts will not retract in the front seat but the dealership requires me to pay a fee to have it assessed. This is a “recalled”issue but it isn't for my vin These three things seem to all fall shortly after buying the vehicle within the last four yrs. Exact dates unknown.
