My radio has blacked out for no reason. My mileage on my digital instrument panel is flashing. When I take it to the dodge dealer with this being a known issue, they want to charge me $128 dollar diagnostic fee in which I do not have. I have asked both my mechanic and a radio installer and they both have said that the mileage flashing is a concern along with the radio blackened out. That one problem could lead to another. Possible cause is the control module for the entire car, which could lead to door locks going haywire, the wipers going on and off, etc. My car was stationary when yhe radio went out and the mileage flashing. Radio usually goes out for about 10 mins and comes back on. But not this time.

There are two issues that I have returned my vehicle to the dealership for repairs multiple times and paid significantly for the non-repair. The first is the centerstack display. The display will intermittently go blank typically following a left hand turn. The vehicle has been in twice for this condition and still displays the failure. The second is the transmission. Based on a fca recall, the vehicle was taken to the dealership for a transmission reflash! At that point there had never been an issue with the transmission while driving. Since that event however, the vehicle has never performed as expected. The vehicle was returned to the dealership only to learn there was a problem with the transmission module so that was replaced. Unfortunately, the problem is now worse. The vehicle shifts so rough, that it feels like the vehicle could stop at anytime. This is very concerning because I am not comfortable that I can accelerate into traffic which could cause an accident.

While braking, this winter, my ABS would activate causing my dashboard and radio to go blank. It was only until recently that I learned that while the screens are blank and rebooting my cars power steering system is also inactive. After 4 attempts at fixing this issue all the dealership is telling me it that it is a grounding issue.
