My ABS, BRAKE & ESC lights all came on at the same time on my dash. Took my car to a reputable mechanic and they told me that my abs module needed to be replaced but they were no longer available. So now I have to drive my car and worry about my brakes locking up if I have to come to a sudden stop for some reason since the anti-lock brakes are not working.

The alternator failed while the vehicle was in operation and it stalled without warning on the highway at 55 mph. This left the car without power steering and a dangerous situation until I was able to get the car to the side of the road. I was left stranded halfway on/off the road until I could get a wrecker to come tow. Towed the vehicle to he nearest automotive service center where I was told the alternator failed. It also shorted out the battery. Alternator, battery, and tow was $1200.00. I see recalls on the internet for my year and model car for the alternator but when I enter my VIN, it does not show up for my individual car. Why is that?

MY STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING AT LEAST 10 TIMES IF NOT MORE SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER IN 2015. ALL THESE INCIDENTS WHERE AT DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 0 TO 60 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD STAY LOCKED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. EACH TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED, I'VE BEEN CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT EITHER HITTING SOMEONE ELSE OR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. I WOULD TRY TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON TO SEE IF IT WOULD LOOSEN BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK, OTHER TIMES IT WOULDN'T. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY ALL HAVE SAID IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO SO WITH THE POWER STEERING SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ELECTRIC. I'VE THEN TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY SAID NOTHING COMES UP ON THEIR TESTS THAT SHOWS STEERING WHEEL DEFECTS. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED THE ACTUAL DODGE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY WEREN'T OF ANY HELP EITHER UNLESS A RECALL POPS UP. I HAVE NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN HORRIBLE PAST EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD WHILE DRIVING.

MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE SAME DAY I WENT UP A STEEP DRIVEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AS MY TIRES SLIPPED ON SOME SAND BUT THE LIGHT TURNED RIGHT OFF. THIS TIME IT HAS STAYED ON AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE MULTI-AXIS ACCELERATION SENSOR (AKA DYNAMIC SENSOR) INTERNAL FAILURE. FIRESTONE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PART GOING OUT NOR HAS MY MECHANIC. I AM HOPING SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THIS PART GETS RECALLED AS I DO BELIEVE THE STEEP DRIVEWAY CAUSED THIS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I AM ABLE TO STILL DRIVE MY CAR BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOW DISABLED AS THE CAR THINKS THE CAR CAN BE UNSTABLE/UNSAFE IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE.

FIRST MY CAR WOULD NOT DETECT MY KEYS (EVEN AFTER I REPLACED BATTER). WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON AND OFF EVEN AFTER GETTING ALL REPAIRS COMPLETED. ONE DAY IT REPEATEDLY FLASHED ON AND OFF AND KEEPS CONSTANTLY. MY CAR WAS ALSO JUMPING AND VIBRATING EXTREMELY HARD AND THE ENGINE WAS TICKING. GOING SLOW OR SLOWING DOWN, MY CAR HAS A HARD TIME TURNING. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND RAN AN DIAGNOSTICS. AFTERWARDS I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING AND WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID. I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED. MOREOVER, MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I DO NOT HAVE A RENTAL. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR RECALLS, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RENTALS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE MY OWN. ALSO, THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WITH MY BRAKE CHOCKS WEREN'T REPLACED. THE INDIVIDUALS WORKING IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T ACT REALLY PROFESSIONAL. THEY WERE DEMEANING AND SQUARING ME OF THINGS THAT I DIDN'T DO OR AGREE TO.

I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR, CANT DRIVE,CANT AFFORD TO FIX, AND WONT SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES ON NOW AND THEN. IT IS DANGEROUS! I AM JUST HAPPY MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC AS SHE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVING JUST UNDER 2 YEARS. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. IT IS SO DANGEROUS WHEN THE STEERING GOES OUT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS! *TR

I OWN A 2014 DODGE CHARGER SE AND HAD A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. PER NHTSA'S RECALL T36 AND T75 SOME ALTERNATORS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MY VEHICLES ALTERNATOR. BEFORE MAY 27TH, 2018, OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AT THE TIME WE WERE NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I HAD A LOCAL AUTO STORE TEST THE ALTERNATOR AND IT PASSED. SO, WE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY. WE BELIEVED THAT RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. AFTER A MONTH, THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. IT APPEARS THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY CORRECTLY. THE ISSUE WAS HIT OR MISS LUCKILY, WE DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THIS CAR IS NOT AN EVERYDAY VEHICLE SO IT COULD GO A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. TO ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE, I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ON SEPTEMBER 15TH 2018. SINCE THAT TIME EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY. ATTACHED ARE A PHOTO OF THE OEM ALTERNATOR, THE AFTERMARKET ALTERNATOR, AND RECEIPT. I BELIEVE DODGE CHRYSLER SHOULD EXTEND THEIR CURRENT RECALLS TO INCLUDE THE DENSO 42100 ' 0750 ALTERNATOR. ON MAY 27TH, 2018 OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED. AT THE TIME WE WERE. *TR
