I have had so many problems with this vehicle. I have had to replace two coils, had the air conditioner fixed, had to replace my rear shocks, which caused me to have to buy two new rear tires, the windshield wiper motor was replaced, my car was burning oil until I got a recall for that. Now my blower fan for the heater is not working, I only have 66000, miles on this car. All these issues could really cause dangerous problems. When my 1st coil went out I couldn't get my car restarted in the middle of town. When the 2nd coil went out my car would barely move and this happened before I got the recall for the engine oil problem. Now I will have to repair the blower fan because the defroster and heat aren't working.

Suspension is too easily adjusted. The littlest bump will throw out alignment and have the receipts to prove. Wheels bend easily, specifically 18 inch rims. Engine used too much oil and leaves your car to shut off automatically which is added as the issue is know to happen. I am 2,500 miles away from an oil change and I need to add oil because the car uses so much. The issue is know by dodge and online thousands of people know about it.

On march 31, 2017, I hit a curb with the driver side front tire of my vehicle damaging parts of the suspension, including the control arm, as well as the body. At the time, I assumed that when I hit the curb, my wheel was turned, which caused the damage to the suspension. Car was repaired. At times the vehicle would make a clunking noise while turning left or when accelerating. Also at times, at highway speed, the vehicle would vibrate. On august 17, 2017, I was stopped to yield for a vehicle crossing a one lane bridge. This bridge was flat and smooth, with a curve around to the left in my direction of travel. I started moving to go over the bridge and was traveling between 5-10 m.p.h., as I approached the left curve, I started to turn the steering wheel slightly left in anticipation of the curve. The steering wheel became non responsive and I was unable to steer my vehicle and the vehicle kept going left, causing me to impact a curb and guard rail, again on the driver side front. The body shop said I had to have hit something to snap the brand new control arm. I hit nothing prior to impact with the curb and guard rail. There is minimal body damage but the control arm is snapped. I am wondering if there is some type of possible defect with the control arm that would cause it to fracture and snap, leading to my loss of steering control and collision. I have read where defective control arms have been noted on other dodge vehicles.

I was driving on the highway and the car started shaking when I reached 65 MPH. When I got to 70 MPH, it stopped I thought I was okay but I wasn't. The tire separated from the axle and the lower control arm fell off causing me to crash. I ran into a guardrail and if it wasn't there, the car wouldn't have stopped and I could possibly be dead. Upon impact, the air bags didn't deploy either. This is life threatening. Something needs to be done about this vehicle!!! This isn't the first time the control arm fell off. It fell off 3 other times to. I am fed up with chrysler. They won't do anything about this vehicle. It is a casket on wheels. It is a death trap and the next time something like this happens, the person might not live to tell the story. Hopefully nothing like this happens but if it does, maybe it will wake chrysler the [xxx] up!!!! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

November 1 2015 while traveling on parkway 376 in pittsburgh pennsylvania . I became trapped behind a portion of a tree that had made it's way in the lane I enter the parkway. After being forced to stop, and put hazards on and attempt to merge into traffic. I was rear ended by a gmc envoy traveling at least 55 MPH , forcing me into tree I was trying to avoid .my passenger and I left in ems vehicles, my car was returned to monroeville dodge for repairs. After getting my car back I noticed when it rain, or snow the trunk of car would get wet. Whenever operating the car in speeds 35 MPH or more , you could feel air coming through backseat. After returning the car to dodge for inspection, I was told that they found nothing to cause problem. Car was inspected and pass with only requiring 2 rear tires. August 2 2016 , while at a stop sign, a driver driving a 2005 honda pilot with original grill , rear ended the car, at this time I drove my car home, in the morning I noticed tires were bent outward. After filing a claim with the driver"s insurance co, I learned that the car was not aligned after rear end hit on nov 1 2015 that caused car to slam into the tree on parkway. After the insured fix only body , found not responsible for mechanical damage, once again the car was repair without wheel alignment by monroeville dodge and offered back for operating on road. After taking the repair statement to other auto body repair shops, and pictures of both rear end accidents , I was advised the car could have sustained frame damages from nov 1 2015, making it unable to be properly align and unsafe for operating. I'm currently still in a rental car my car is still at dodge with no wheel alignment repairs after neither accident . Dodge has told both insurance companies ,(state farm nov 1 2015, and geico aug 2, 2016) wheel allignment was not needed. Please help
