While driving lights on dash all flash, windshield wipers come on, horn won’t work, windows won’t work, headlights will turn off, speedometer drops to zero. Problem started a year ago. Took it to dodge and 2 independent auto repair places, with no fix. We were without the car for 4 months while waiting to see if anyone could find a fix-as far as we were told there was none. Car drove fine for a couple of months with some “minor” issues-lights flash speedometer drops- pull over turn car off- everything ok. Today full electric failure! EVERYTHING stated above happened at once, in addition to feeling like I could not accelerate.
The airbag light has come and stays in while driving scary to think it might come out on me.it says to seek professional help so I'd there any recalls on this
The air bag light turns on on the dash as well as chimes non-stop. This occurs when vehicle is in drive. Scary to have happening cause cautious that airbag may go off when driving .

I was driving home from work at night. My battery light came on. Just got a new battery a few months ago when wiring harness was replaced, because of headliner fire, due to sun visor recall. So, I pull into a parking lot, all kinds of strange lights started flashing car completely lost all power, no lights no emergency lights, nothing! Looked under hood and the alternator was smoking. Called corporate said it was a recall but they do not have a fix for it. I have to come out of pocket and pay for repairs and be reimbursed by dodge. It also ruined my battery. Car is still being serviced so don't know if anything else was damaged as of yet. I will update.
My car lost all power!! While I was driving home from work at night. Would not even lock. No lights, no power at all. I was attempting to drive my commute home about 20 miles at night .
