VEHICLE FAILS TO START WHEN STATIONARY. DOES NOT START ON MULTIPLE CRANKS FROM PUSH BUTTON OR REMOTE START NO MATTER WHAT LEVEL THE GAS IS AT. COMPLETELY INTERMITTENT BUT OCCURS WEEKLY. HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/RECALL-ALERT-2012-2013-DODGE-DURANGO-1420676848895/

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER. I WAS DRIVING AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THEN MY ABS CAME ON AND NOW I CANT USE MY CRUSE CONTROL AND I CANT TURN THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF OR ON . CALL DODGE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PRICE IS $589.00 AND THE LABOR WILL BE ABOUT $300.00. I THINK THAT'S IS A BAD PART TO PUT IN A CAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MULTIPLE LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ACROSS THE DASHBOARD. THE ODOMETER MOVED FREELY BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT GIVING AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF SPEED. (VIDEO TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD)

WHEN I GET IN THE CAR, ALL THE LIGHTS AND DOOR AJAR SOUNDS HAPPEN LIKE NORMAL. WHEN I PUT THE KEY INTO IGNITION AND ATTEMPT TO CRANK IT, ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH COME ON BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR EVEN TURN OVER OR CLICK,,,NOTHING. AFTER START ATTEMPT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, GAS CAP LIGHT AND TIRE LIGHT STAY ON AND EVERYTHING ELSE SHUTS OFF. I HAVE BEEN A WEEK WITHOUT THE CAR BECAUSE IT WON'T START.

I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED "THE DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY TRUCK. (2010 DODGE RAM 2500) I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND MY TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY ON THE FRONT END. APPLYING MY BREAKS DID NOT HELP. ALL I COULD DO IS HOLD ON FOR THE RIDE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR. I PULLED OVER AND EXAMINED MY TRUCK THINKING THAT SOMETHING WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED DUE TO THE EXTREME NATURE OF THE INCIDENT AND COULD NOT FIND ANY DAMAGES. I SLOWLY DROVE HOME AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE VIOLENT SHAKING IN MY TRUCK WAS CALLED UNTIL I RESEARCHED THIS SCARY EXPERIENCE. UPON CONDUCTING MY RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT IN FOR A COUPLE OF RECALL ITEMS REGARDING STEERING ISSUES. I AM AFRAID THEY MAY HAVE REPLACED ANY RECALL ITEMS WITH FAULTY PARTS.

THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ESP/BAS, ESP/TCS, ABS, AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE (NO FLASHING) WITH LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOTABLE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING OCCURS WHEN ALL LIGHTS TURN OFF! WITH NO WARNING MALFUNCTION LIGHTS, THE ENGINE MISFIRES AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 55MPH, BREAKS LOCK UP WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BREAK AT ANY SPEED (EVEN COASTING W/DRY ROAD CONDITIONS, AND THERE WILL BE COMPLETE LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL FX. WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN BACK ON, THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS PROPERLY W/NO MISFIRING OR BREAKING ISSUES. WHHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED, CRUISE CONTROL WOULD WORK AT THIS TIME ALSO, UNTIL THAT FUNCTION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AFTER A FEW INSTANCES AS STATED. IN ADDITION, THE HORN STOPPED SOUNDING, RADIO RANDOMLY TURNS ON WHEN CAR DOOR IS OPENED W/3 BUTTON KEY FOB (NO ENGINE STARTER), RADIO/DISC PLAYER FREEZES INTERMITTENTLY WITH LOSS OF FUNCTION/ABILITY TO CHANGE ANYTHING BESIDES TURNING ON OR OFF. BREAK ILLUMINATION LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON, THEN WILL TURN OFF (NO E BREAK BEING ACTIVATED). WHEN WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, NO CAR DEALERSHIP OR SERVICE IS ABLE TO OBTAIN CODES AND ADAMANTLY STATE THIS IS NOT OKAY/NORMAL FOR ANY VEHICLE TO BE HAVING THESE SERIOUS ISSUES W/NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING AND FOR VEHICLE TO IMPROVE WHEN WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON. MORE SO, THAT THE SYSTEMS LARGE AMOUNT OF ERRATIC INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONING IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD!! CURRENTLY NO RECALLS FOR VIN # BUT 2007 NITROS HAVE RECALLS-MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SAFETY ISSUES WITH AN EMERGENT NEED TO REPORT IMMEDIATELY TO NHTSA. I WILL RESUME OPERATING VEHICLE REGULARLY WHEN RESPONSIBILITY IS TAKEN, ADMITTANCE TO THERE BEING PROBLEMS OF NO FAULT OF MY OWN (OWNER 2009 APPROX 2000 MILES AT PURCHASE W/ALL PROPER MAINTENANCE PERFORMED TO DATE). EAGERLY AWAITING NHTSA'S REPLY IN ORDER TO PROPERLY DOCUMENT AND CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE.
