The seats move around as if they are not bolted down properly. Any speed if you hit a small bump or so much as move other then straight it’s extremely noticeable. I don’t think it is safe and my kids are in this car daily and I was hoping a recall would have already been called on this because I know I’m mot the only one with this issue with both front seats moving around as if it’s a carnival ride. And the cruise control stopped working in 2016. Also has always made a weird sound under the hood and come to find out I have had a bad transmission the whole time I have owned this car, also a common issue I have heard from MANY People. Also these cars have several different censor problems that keep having to be replaced as well as energy draining batteries more than they should. The hoses and injectors also have been a major problem. I thought I just got unlucky with my car but everyone I know has soooo many problems with these cars it’s actually crazy they didn’t stop making them sooner. I’m the only driver and owner of this car and drive like a grandma I have been told so I do know it’s not how I have been with the car, also regular oil changes and maintenance as needed on top of thousands to keep her running as I bought it brand new and refuse to let it die on me after it’s paid off.

The headlights flicker and dim whenever I roll the windows up and the car seems to putter at the same time, the right side of the car doesn't blow heat when the car is set to blow heat it only blows cold air all the time, the traction control light came on a few weeks ago for no reason and won't go away after all maintenance repairs. This car has been in and out of the shop multiple times and several mechanics have told me their is no severe issues with this car. But all electrical problems keep happening and I've already had to replace the alternator and jump start the battery twice. I've come to the conclusion of just filing a complaint on this website.

Hello, the above mentioned vehicle, was at glendale dodge chrysler jeep, in glendale, ca, for a total of seven full days. They were trying to find out why the (horn), continues to go off either, moving or standing still.*bf they put in the following parts: (switch speed) for $50.00 (switch horn) for $127.60 (harness steer) for $158.00 plus the cost of diagnosis $195.00 after all of this I was finally told that the vehicle needs a (tipmcgw) , which I was given an estimate of $1,900, plus labor. I was told this part is located under the fuse box, and controls all the functions in the vehicle. This does not seem to be a wear and tear part, especially where it is located, not sure why it would go out unless faulty. This is a recurring problem with the horn. It's a safety issue to have the horn connected, because it keeps going off. It's also a safety issue not having the horn connected, while driving. Can someone please help me this this issue *tr the consumer stated the horn isn't working and consumer doesn't have an additional 1,900.00 to fix the problem.

Since 2016, my car has been out of heat on the passenger side and is now starting to lose heat on the driver side. I have had great up-keep on my car and get it fixed on a regular bases. During the winter my car is freezing cold. It is only letting heat out on the far left driver side vent and this is starting to blow cold air too. It takes forever to warm the inside of my car or never warms up at all. I'm unsure what the underlying problem is that I see is very common for this type of car. Being in the military I don't have thousands of dollars to get this fix. It is totally a manufactures defect and need to fixed immediately.
