The headlights in the "auto" position will turn on the headlights and then after 5 or so minutes of driving, the interior dash board will dim and brighten, and then the headlights turn off entirely. If you move them off the "auto" position, the headlights will not turn on even when switched to the headlights. When you switch back to auto, it puts the brights on instead of the standard headlights. Rinse and repeat while driving, lights on/off/then only brights.

Dealer edited the carfax to make no accident reported car but when I ran carfax it has 2 accidents. Dealer this fraud might be consider as fraud. Detail: Bought the car on April 2023. FairFax motor provided me no accident carfax but when I ran my own carfax found that car had 2 accident. Accident No.1: First accident reported on May-2018 but Fairfax motor gave me carfax had no accident. This people tempered carfax report. I have original copy with my sign on it with purchase deal document. Uploaded the dealer fraud copy of the carfax report. Accident No.2: 2nd accident reported on 04/26/2023 but I purchase the car on 04/22/203 and got delivered my home by (Sales person) on 04/27/2023. I have delivery text massaged confirmation for proof. How can they had accident before delivery and not informed me at all? I did email couple of time to (Sales person) for justification and ask me to connect (owner or manager) but she ignored my email.

The check engine light stays on and code po740 Torque converter clutch circuit open, and the stated fix is replace converter solenoid and trans fluid and filter. Also recommends do not drive. I am qualified to make repairs and did so, cleared codes drove Approx.100 miles light returned on solid. I did research and found a recall id 16V461000 that may not have traveled through the recall system yet. I spoke to a dodge service advisor and was told that is was common and they have replaced several transmission so far this year. Part are scarce to get and Approx. $7k repair. and no recall was issued for the problem. It is my understanding that the car can loose power and no longer move as the problem progresses in traffic and on highway, poss causing an accident. All related parts that fluid travels musts be replaced including trans. oil cooler due to contamination.

I have been taking my car into the shop to get the lights checked. They’ve come to conclusion that the front crash sensors disable themselves and they have no fix for it. Chrysler engineers came back and said to close the case and give the car back until they find a fix. This is very unsafe considering I drive a hour to work and home and also have a 6 month old baby. I talked to Chrysler about getting my car bought back under the lemon law and I was told I’d get a call with my options. However, when it came down to it, they have me driving the unsafe car and will not return my calls nor contact me. I tried to take it to a different location and he told me that he couldn’t do anything about it over the phone. Dodge is not concerned about the problem nor my safety and I believe something needs to be done because they won’t work with me to get a safe car. They’d rather me drive an unsafe vehicle. The car disables its crash sensors whenever it wants.
