What owners say
Too many electrical problems, the key fob, the ignition won't start until several tries I've had a new starter put in but constantly told it's the electrical component, the car shift gears on its own, told again it's the tcm module electrical problems, the batter dies within a year of getting a new one. Abs system problems, crank shaft system problems, the horn beeps on its own, it's so bad I have to remove chip at night so my neighbors don't complain..once again told by everyone that it's an electrical programing problem that I have to go to Dodge dealer to fix..I don't understand he how come I have to spend so much money for them to keep fixing electric problems. It's worse after a big down pour of rain..it seems everything shorts out... Have to wash it 2 days after it rain to drive my car.
