RADIO SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN ON WHILE DRIVING TO DESTINATION. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I HAD THE CAR IN PARK, BUT THE ENGINE STILL TURNED ON. ALL OF THE GAUGES IN THE DASHBOARD STARTED GOING CRAZY AND THEN THE INSIDE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHATSOEVER. COULD NOT EVEN PUT MY CAR IN "NEUTRAL" TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT IS "PUSH TO START" AND HAS NO WAY OF GETTING POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WAITING…

WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED, A NOISE IS BEING HEARD, SQUEAKING, IN CERTAIN POSITIONS, STEERING IS OK BUT THE NOISE IS VERY INTIMIDATING, ALSO, THERE WAS NOISE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY INTO THE CAR ONE DAY, IT STOPPED SO THAT'S OFF THE LIST, BUT AS I READ ONLINE, THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM IS COMMON AMONG DODGE OWNERS, AND DEALERS REFUSE TO FIX OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW..... LESS THAN A YEAR OLD.... *TR

THE NEW LINE OF DODGE CARS (CHALLENGER, DART, CHARGER) HAVE A LED RING OF LIGHTS AS THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS ON THE CARS. THEY ARE WAY TOO BRIGHT FOR TAIL LIGHTS (NOTICE I DIDN'T SAY BRAKE LIGHTS). THEY NEED TO BE CHANGED OUT WITH SOFTER/DIMMER LIGHTS. IT'S LIKE FOLLOWING SOMEONE WITH HIGH-BEAM TAIL LIGHTS. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE DODGE STOP DOING THIS, AND PREVENT OTHER AUTO MAKERS FROM INSTALLING BRIGHT LED LIGHTS ON THE REAR OF CARS. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW DODGE CHARGER WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACCESSORY. THE OPERATION OF THIS CONTROL IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS FOLLOWS: FOR EXAMPLE, I SET THE SPEED FOR 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH CRUISES THE AUTOMOBILE AT THIS SPEED. I THEN ARRIVE AT A 65 MPH LIMIT STRETCH OF ROAD AND SO I ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE RES/+CONTROL TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE TO 65 MPH. WITH ALL PREVIOUS CRUISE CONTROLS, WHEN I STOP PRESSING THIS CONTROL AT 65 MPH, THE SPEED STABILIZES. WITH THIS ACC, IT CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE LIK…

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP/SKIP AND STARTED TO SHIFT VERY ROUGHLY FROM THAT POINT. AFTER A FEW VISITS TO MY DEALER AND AFTER THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK, IT WAS THEN DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE BODY INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED, AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT GIVE RENTAL CARS OUT DUE TO THE VEHICLE STILL BEING DRIVABLE. (WTF?) THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION IS ON BACKORDER AND CHRYSLER CURRENTLY DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT IN BECAUSE IT HAS TO COME FROM A VENDOR, SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $4000…
