Airbag lights suddenly always on. Unknown if they are working or about to deploy. Hesitation in transmission while shifting, not sure if working properly. I haven't had any recalls fixed on this vehicle. It showed recalls and suddenly it shows all repaired. Is it due to the year?2005? Seat belts don't retract and are have to be manually maneuvered.

The vehicle stalled during normal use traveling about 35 miles an hour right after an intersection. MY husband was able to safely make it off the road as we live in a small town he did this by feathering the accelerator pedal. He is a mechanic so he was able to get it home by lightly tapping the pedal. If he pressed the pedal too hard the car stalled without warning so he lightly tapped on it and made it 2 blocks to our home where it has set in the driveway ever since. We spent over $1000 replacing parts such as the throttle body and the fuel pump and sending unit, egr, pcv, crankshaft sensor, plugs,injectors, intake seals, air intake temperature sensor and throttle body which include the throttle position sensor. Before we went for the cam sensor I decided to look up the issue and found so many with the same problem as us. We are veterans on a semi fixed income with a 10 month old daughter and this is our only vehicle we live in a super hot place in northern Arizona and can not afford further repairs as every part seems to be quite expensive. I don't have the fear of it dying while transporting my daughter again as it won't even stay started since the first incident. Additionally there are no codes or dash indicator lights staying on. We will be contacting Dodge in Kingman Arizona today.

Noticed with certain speeds and RPM ranges, transmission (42rle) will have very hard upshift (feels almost like I'm being rear ended) and lack power compared to other times. As discussed in a forum, others have the same issue, but it seems to be a problem with the torque converter clutch and/or the PCM programming that makes the transmission behave in this way. I take care of my vehicle and perform regular maintenance. Even after transmission flushes, problem is still present.

The shift lever will not move front park. I have to leave my vehicle in neutral, and apply the parking brake. I found out there was a recall, I went to the dealer and they informed me my vehicle VIN number is not included in the recall. I have dealt with this problem for years. I hope you can assist me in getting this problem resolved.. The date that I put in when the problem occurred is estimated. It's been so long I don't remember when it started.
