Got rear ended day later hears a winding noise and engine light came on then Battery light came on. When driving next day all lights on dash board came on and car died. Thought was battery changed it then restarted car. Next day bring to get diagnosed and said altnator was testing bad so had that replaced but Battery light stayed on. Took to collision center dodge and they said pcm was bad so had that replaced. The mechanic stated common problem when altnator dies it burns up the pm module. So I had to wait 2 months for it to get replaced and now changed still the check engine lights and battery light is on.

My car had a check engine light so I went to an official dodge dealer to fix. They claimed it was a faulty valve in my fuel system and charged me $470 to fix. Since fixed, I filled up my gas tank and now whenever I enter my car, it smells of raw fuel. After driving for about 10 minutes, the smell goes away, but I have found many different people are complaining about it. I took it back to the dealer and they could not determine the reason it was smelling like gasoline..I did not track fuel into my car and was not storing fuel in my trunk. The car did not smell like fuel before the initial repair.
Vehicle had a horrible start up sound. The engine constantly knocked and I told the shop they waited until I had to get it towed there. The engine went out and my warranty paid for it but they still chargered me for things I asked them about like the termistat and the cooling fan.... The mechanic said they was not working but my car had not check engine light and went out on the interstate
