While driving the vehicle the shifter link bushing detached from the cable and came off the transmission causing the shifter to start floating and I lost all control of the shifter so I could not take my car out of the gear it got stuck in
On January 1, 2024 I was getting in my car to go to work. My car would not shift into drive, or reverse. It said "gear not available" After about 30 minutes, it finally went into drive. While driving to work, my car shifting into neutral on it's own. I took my car to a local transmission shop where they said it was the dual clutch that needed to be replaced. SO it was replaced. The issue still persisted and they said it was the hydraulic actuator. I took it to my local Dodge dealership where they said it the TCM needed replaced. So that was replaced. They are now saying it is the hydraulic actuator and odd shift actuator. My car is still at the local Dodge dealership because I can not afford the extra $8000 to fix it. I had no codes show up before January 1, 2024. I have reached out to Dodge and Stellantis about all of the issues and trying to receive financial help. There were recalls in 2015-2016 for the TCM.
I was driving and my car shifted to neutral by itself. I was crossing a 2 lane highway when it happened but thankfully I was able to shift back to drive. I was also using cruise control and i tapped my brakes which would usually cancel cruise control, but my car sped up instead of slowing down. My dealership said my car doesn't qualify for the recall even though it is exactly what is happening to my car. I have 2 young children and this is our only transportation. I need this car to be safe for us though. The dealership said they couldn't look at it for over a week.
Wipers will not turn off. turn signals are working along with lights except the wipers.
When the vehicle is either in motion or while idle, the climate control will periodically not function at all. Other times when the vehicle is turned on, it will only function at a high setting. The seat warmers on the passenger side and the bluetooth does not work at all. Occasionally, the cruise control button will work to turn the function on, however, setting or resetting the cruise control does not work at all while in motion.
My windshield wipers and washers won't turn on anymore. And I've searched up this problem to try to fix it, but it seems that there are hundreds of people who had the same problem with this make and model of car. It can cause major accidents due to not being able to see during heavy rains because the I couldn't turn on the wipers to wipe the rain waters away. Driving back from warren, in to fort wayne, in was a scary trip through the I-69 south and us 33 s route, the heavy rain blinded and covered everything on the windshield, and the roads and other mv was hardly able to see, all I can see was a glimpse of blurry yellow lights from the semi trucks. Please have this recall, it's very important.
I am having problems with body control module and this damaging all my vehicles sensors as the sensors are damaged the actual system which is the engine and the mechanical system is damaged and car won't start it stopped in the middle of the road and then after few trials I some how started it and then it stalls but this stalling is really dangerous because the bcm is sending wrong signals to the accelerator and it accelerates even I have eased the gas so if anything happens later or now I would blame dodge for making such a worst car and also the federal safety agency for giving dodge the permission.
All internal lights and dashboard lights start flickering the trunk opens up by itself the car starts by itself shuts off when running. After driving for up to 30 to 30 minutes to 1 hour the car start going into this mode where it with the horn would be the doors would just unlock by himself the if I'm parking my car for the night the car I just start up by itself without the key being in the car if I'm driving the car a shut off in mid drive and a parking at the red light these are all the issues that I'm having with this vehicle the horn the alarm comes on without the key in it.
When the check engine light first came on back in april 2018, before the recall with the transmission came out the traction control light would come on when that happened I knew I would have to restart my car before I could accelerate past 40 MPH. Then the light would go off. Now the light always stays on along with the ABS sensor light. My oil pressure sensor is also bad and keeps the check engine light on.
