Beginning in September 2023, my parking brake light would periodically light up even when the parking brake was not engaged. At the time, I didn't think much of it. This persisted until the middle of January 2024. Beginning in mid January 2024, my parking brake light, traction control light, and ABS light were all lit up on my dashboard. I took my vehicle into my mechanic on January 30, 2024 and they diagnosed it as an ABS internal module failure. They said they were unable to make the repair and said that I would need to take it into a Dodge dealership. I then took it to my local Dodge dealership on February 2, 2024 and they also diagnosed the problem as an ABS internal module failure. The dealership told me that the particular module needed was under "Engineer Review" at Chrysler. They said that any ABS module currently on the market for my vehicle were considered "defective" and that I would need to wait for the Engineer Review to be completed in order to receive a new, correctly working ABS module. I was told by both my regular mechanic, as well as the dealership, that my car was dangerous to drive in its current condition. I was told by both the dealership and a Dodge customer service representative that this Engineer Review would be completed in April 2024. It is now June 10, 2024 and the Review still has not been completed and I am still without a working ABS module for my vehicle. I am unwilling to put my safety, my child's safety, and the safety of other drivers at risk by continuing to drive a dangerous vehicle. Because of this, I have not been able to drive my vehicle since the beginning of February. After continuous calls and emails to Dodge, I was told the Review would be completed between 4/20/24-4/25/24. I later found out this estimated completion date was incorrect. I have been given no new timeline of when this Engineer Review is to be completed and when I will be receiving a new part.

When the electronic stability control malfunction indicator light comes on, my car starts shaking violently, not responding as quickly to pressing gas pedal, jerking, slow acceleration, bogging down when I reach 50 and the feeling of my brakes applying themselves my room gauge sometimes rocks back and forth before and after the gear shift...a weird smell and heat coming from under the car even tho it's not reading a higher temp... I've changed the cps twice and the code will not clear... P0340...this happens all the time but it's random and happens even while I'm driving...or when the car is running for a few minutes in park...random...while the episode is happening sometimes I hear this fast paced tapping and "movement" behind my dash & steering wheel...I've tried everything I can to solve this problem and now I find out my car has recalls...my car dealership never informed me it was on a recall list...please help before something bad happens as I'm driving...I feel like this issue could potentially cause my car to shut down or something could blow up...I just don't know what else to do and I don't want to accidentally hurt someone or myself if I potentially lose control of the vehicle or the brakes completely stop me without me applying them & I wreck or stall going down the highway or interstate... Very concerned and worried about what to do next...when this isn't happening to the car it behaves & drives perfect...it seems possessed or is having a seizure

Went to the dealership on 12/19/2019 for two recalls on my car. The repair was stated that it would take 2-3 hours but took 5 hours. The next day the car started backing up out of the drive way on its on and now it does not start. Called the dealership to tell them the problem and they stated that I have to find a way to bring the car there and pay for the repair myself. My car was fine before they worked on it.

My brake pedal is going on down and making a noise after I push the brake pedal to stop. There are nor ever has a warning light came on. A suggestion was my madter cylinder may be bad. I am going to have it replaced by my son. I can't afford to take it to a dealer. This had been going on for about 3 months but had gotten worse. Just wanted to report it in case there are others that may lead to recalls. Only 40,000 miles on car now, about 38,000 when problem started.
