It wouldn't let me click on multiple other options like the windshield. Snow blows through the front vent sometimes as I'm driving if I have it on regular heat or defrost. The breaks have always squeaked since I got the vehicle in 2018. I have to play with the seatbelt to get it to lock in place. The wheel sometimes turns on its own randomly to the left and the suspension is really off and bouncy.

1. Seat belt will not latch in rear driver seat to properly restrain child. Chrysler will not cover so child is being latch with a rear driver side shoulder belt connected to the middle seat latch. 2. Wheel speed sensor has been replaced twice, causes ABS, ESC and 4wd to stop working. This happens typically while driving either residential or highway roads, random times, temperatures and speeds. 3. Door lock actuator has stopped working for the forth time which prevents child safety lock from working. The door cannot lock/unlock other than manually compressing the lock from the inside of the door therefore I have to climb in the back seat to unlock the door or risk my child opening the door while driving. The other three door lock actuators have been replaced, not covered by warranty. 4. The clock loses a minute to two minutes a week. 5. When the car is in off position and keys removed from ignition, the vehicle has electrical surges through the console after sitting for several minutes. The battery has not been run down, I'm not sure where the power is coming from. 6. The vehicle started to lose power on highway and stopped shifting from park to drive, at 80,000 transmission work had to be performed to properly run without risk.

Drivers seat belt release will not lock seat belt. Belt releases with movement of driver. Vehicle has approx 77,000+ miles and normal wear/tear should not have caused seat belt to malfunction.

The seat belt does not consistently latch. Also, the seat belt comes unlatched while driving with the button untouched. As an example, the seat belt unlatches without touching the red button on the expressway at 70 MPH.
