I drive to work every day and I can feel my car shacking while I have the car on drive. I have experienced my vehicle sliding of the road with out control. Also my breaks has lost control on me while driving 20 MPH. These issues im experiencing are very dangerous and I don't feel safe at all driving my vehicle even if im driving slow. The last occurrence happened 9/12/18, but this has been an ongoing issue. I don't understand why these issues are not reported as a safety issue and considered as a recall.

If the ignition stays between "start" and "on" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the "off" or "accessory" position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

My car has been sticking in the start position for months now. If I don't wiggle the key a bit to the left it would stay in the start position. Last monday my key has been getting stuck in the ignition while I try to position it in park. Im forced to keep starting the car and moving it to try to successfully put the vehicle in park. This happens many times a day and im very concerned. The dealer has ordered replacement parts but is unsure when they will be in. He said maybe a few weeks, but could make no promises. I told him of my concerns about the key sticking in the ignition and he had no answer for me. Im afraid ill burn out the starter while I wait for parts. It does not feel safe to me and I feel they should offer me a rental until the car is safely fixed.

For the past few months, and more so now in the colder weather, the electric throttle control comes on either at start up or between 10-35 MPH. When this happens, power immediately goes to nothing causing the car to die. The ABS lights, including the bas light, are also now on.

1. There is a lightbolt light that lights up and flashes on my dashboard the instant when I turn on my vehicle for the first time in the day. I have to wait for the engine to heat up a little before I turn it off and restart it again. 2. As I drive and go on the highway or at anytime that my RPM reaches 3, the lightbolt light flashes again and I loose power in the engine. The car slows down on its own down to at least 45 MPH, if I go over a bump during this cycle, the vtc light on dashboard lights up and the car feels unstable as I press on the brakes. I pull over to the emergency lane and restart the car and the light shuts off. Eventually, if the lightbolt continues to flash and I am still driving the vehicle starts to choke and eventually shuts off.

There was a loud knocking coming from my car, I then had placed car into be service to check out knocking. Once the top of engine was torn down, they found the pin to the rocker arm assembly was cracked and call dodge dealer to order part and found that this is a on going problem with dodge 3.5 v-6 engine. Parts where around 800 and total bill was around 1200. Upon picking up car learned that there was another dodge in the repair shop being fixed for the same problem and shop owner infor me the after they checked into it. This is a big problem for this engines. And stated when the called the dealer for the part, the parts department knew just what part they needed and did not even have to look the part up, due to the fact that this happens all the time. This is a every expensive fix that dodge should make right and replace these parts that fail repeatedly in these engines. The worse part is dodge knows of this problem. They have, due to the fact that the parts department didn't even have to look up the part or part number for ordering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I have place my car back into the repair shop for the same problem again.
