Multiple occurrence: car will stall while driving, losing brakes. The lights on dash will start flashing wildly and the wind shield wipers will start going on its own when turned off. Car will not start back again for a long while. The air system will not work-no heat or air conditioner, just stopped working. Very dangerous situation, car is unsafe. I'm not sure how it has a high rating in safety.

The turn indicator stalk/lever in my car is broken. It is a multi-task lever due to the fact that it controls my windshield wipers, window cleaner, and enables me to switch my lights from dim to bright. The lever now falls and calls my turning lights to blink continuously while I'm driving as well as cause the bright lights to just pop up when I'm driving behind someone at night. I feel that this can be a danger to anyone because they can think someone is turning and keep going, or can be blinded by the bright lights switching on and off. I contacted the dealership about the issue and they stated that there is a backorder on the part and that 150 people were ahead of me with the same issue. I am unable to get the part until mid-february, but the dealership stated that it could be pushed back farther than that. I asked for something so if I was pulled over by the police about the issue with my lights, I would have something covering me. They refused to give me anything stating that there was a back-order on the part.

The car dies (stalls, doesn't run, etc.) while driving.. Or when stopped, or whenever it wants. It will restart and then drive for a while and then die again. The check engine light didn't even come on after several stalls but eventually it coded with p2172 which is "throttle actuator control system - sudden high airflow detected". The car is being towed (as of this writing) to the selling dealer larry miller dodge in peoria az for service. Personal note: the manufacturer/dealer should buy this car back... It's had 2 recalls (one for the windshield wiper motor and another for the entire engine to be replaced) and already had the A/C replaced.

The car shakes very uruptly at idle. You can look at the engine and see it's shaking at idle. If you turn the air conditioner on it gets worse. Radio screen will not work sometimes. Blue tooth will work then cut off then turn back on when it feels like it. Automatic headlights work then randomly not work where I have to turn them manually on. Wipers do the same as the headlights but to correct the issue for the wipers it takes turning off the car and turning it back on and out them on low. Engine will die randomly while driving the car at any speed. Gps will not load sometimes. The back up camera works when screen works but also fails when screen is working and while backing up. During take off the car will stall like no gas then it will go like it's getting gas. During cold it shifts really rough like your using a standard slamming it in gear. I have also has 2 misfire in 2 different cylinders. One was a coil pack the other was supposedly a loose connection. Took car in for all this and dealer said if their is no check engine nothing they can do even though they feel the car chair and can see the engine shaking. They tell me to come back in when light comes on. Light switch has been replaced and still faults. Ecm and TCM habe been reprogrammed multiple times and problems still consist.
