Low tire indicator as soon as I started my car. Then the change oil indicator flashed. I had just had an oil change and all tires have accurate pressure. Sometimes my car won't start when I turn the key but the lights and radio will work. The shifter panel gets hot sometimes. The wipers will move up a couple of inches when I use my unlock button on my key. My dash lights will fade and then come back to the brightness I have it set at just randomly while the vehicle is started, driving or sitting still. Sounds like an electrical issue. Lots of other complaints about the same things occurring, yet no recalls and things are not covered under warranty.

Multiple electrical issues: dash lights go out when turning wipers on/off. Dash lights reappear after on/off action complete. Key would not start car, but would lock/unlock doors. Wipers move upwards about 2-3 inches when using unlock button on key.

We had to replace front brakes and resurface the rotors at 18,785 miles. Replaced rear brake pads at 26,848 miles and replaced front brake pads and rotors at under 36,000 again. This car has 35,885 on it. I misplaced the letter sent home about being reimbursed for these problems. We just decided to buy our lease. We need new tires only we aren't waiting for the expensive ones on backorder we will use the alternate size and brand. Yesterday I lost all power in the car. Windows wont go up or down, no air, no radio, no windshield wipers, no power locks.its hot in nj I cant drive this car without these things. I shouldn't have to drive it without these things. There are less than 36000 miles on the car. I hit my 36 month mark on 5/31 so am I out of luck. Can dodge stand proudly behind their name and recall these cars will all of these problems? I read the blogs and message boards-im not the first person and I wont be the last to have these problem. Why should all the responsibility be put on the customer. This is my 2nd dodge and this will probably be my last if they cant step up and own some of this faults. I don't know the answer to the equipment make and model so I am putting in anything to allow me to get to the next page. If I knew this info. I would be a mechanic and would have known about these problems before I bought the car. I am choosing 3m series 963(this means nothing-this is the only way I can get onto the next page so disregard this section of the complaint).
