MY CAR HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON FRIDAY TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. AT 32,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON UPON STARTING AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR. A FUEL INJECTOR SENSOR WENT OUT.

THE "RACETRACK" LIGHT ON THE LIFTGATE ISN'T SEALED AND WATER GETS IN TO IT CAUSING THE LED LIGHTS TO BURN OUT.

DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A STORE AND WAS UNABLE TO PLACE IT IN PARK AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION OR TURN OFF THE CAR, SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THE SHIFT LINKAGE GROMMET, THAT MAINTAINS CONNECTION HAD FAILED, ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LINKAGE AND REPLACE GROMMET

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR2 PLUS YEARS MY CAR MISSED THE RECALL NUMBER BY A FEW THOUSAND CARS FOR THE PREVIOUS ONES AND I AM WORRIED MY AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF THERE IS A ACCIDENT IT'S ALWAYS ON THE LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF

THERE SEEMS TO BE ISSUE WITH DODGE, CHRYSLER VEHICLES WHERE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY DAD CHRYSLER 300, MY MOM DODGE DURANGO AND NOW MY DODGE DART AND IT APPEARS IT IS THE ALTERNATOR KILLING THE BATTERY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO PUT MY CAR ON THE ROAD AS IT CAN SHUT OFF ANY GIVEN TIME AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE.

JUST NOTICED THAT THE YOKOHAMA 225/40 R18 AVID S34 TIRES ON MY 2015 DODGE DART HAVE SPLIT SIDE WALLS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES. I HAD THE CAR IN THREE TIMES FOR THE TIRES LOOSING AIR. I'VE READ THAT YOKOHAMA HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ON THIS MODEL TIRE FOR YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT SIZES BUT HAVE ONLY RECALLED ONE SIZE. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER 05-02.

LINKAGE IN STEERING COLUMN WILL REMAIN IN 2ND GEAR WHEN I HAVE PUT IT IN DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN IN MECHANICS TWICE. TWICE INTO MECHANICS REGARDING ANTIFREEZE SPILLING INSIDE THE CAB OF TRUCK. REPAIR WAS ON WATER PUMP BOTH TIMES. STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BOTH CONCERNS. RESULTING IN HEALTH ISSUES BEING AT RISK LINKAGE WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. ANTIFREEZE SPEWING INSIDE CAB OF TRUCK ON WINDSHIELD, CARPET AND MATS, ALSO CENTER OF CAB NEAR 4 WHEEL GEAR SHIFTER.OCCURS WHEN STATIONARY OR WHEN DRIVING.
