Massive battery drain issue, resulting in dead battery, causing the need to replace the battery yearly. Lane keep does not function at all. Does not provide any assistance in staying in the lane. Lane departure warning only has a dash indicator and no further alert to inform operator of possible lane departure
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHED INTO PARKED WHILE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STILL POSITIONED IN PARK. THE CAR WILL START AND THE AIR AND EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS FINE, THE GEAR SHIFT WILL EVEN MOVE INTO DRIVE. BUT WHEN I PUSH THE GAS IT SAY 'PLACE CAR IN P THEN SHIFT TO DESIRED GEAR' AGAIN THE CAR ISN'T RUNNING HOT OR HAS ANY OTHER PROBLEMS.
ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY ABS AND ESC LIGHT LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASH. ESC WAS IN RED AND ABS WAS IN YELLOW. I PULLED THE CAR OVER, CUT IT OFF, AND GOOGLED WHAT IT MAY BE AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF CAME UP IN REFERENCE TO WHAT IT COULD BE. ONCE I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, IT WAS GONE. LET IT BE KNOWN, I TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE TO GO TO WORK, SO THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE TOOK OFF ONCE I GOT UP TO 78, I PUT MY CRUISE ON AND THEN ABOUT 10 MINS LATER THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AGAIN. THIS TIME, IT SHUT MY CRUISE OFF AND IT'S LIKE SOMEONE PULLED MY STEERING WHEEL FROM ME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AGAIN AND CUT THE CAR OFF. I WOULD REALLY HATE TO BE DRIVING 75-79 MPH AND MY STEERING GOES OUT. PHONED DODGE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEY COULD TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. I WENT AHEAD ON AND CONTINUED TO WORK AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN, EVEN COMING HOME. I JUST DID NOT USE THE CRUISE. TIME HAS PASSED AND IT DID NOT COME BACK ON BUT NOW (TWICE) WHEN I USE MY BRAKES, IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE SLIPPING. NOT TO MENTION AS OF 30 MINS AGO MY LIGHTS HAVE COME BACK ON. I WAS TOLD IT MAY BE A SENSOR BUT IT'S HARD TO TELL WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON. THIS CAR IS MY LIFE.. MY MEANS TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I CANNOT FINANCIALLY GIVE HUNDREDS EVERY TIME A LIGHT COME ON AND THEN IT GOES OFF AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I WAS TOLD MY BREAKS AND ROTORS WERE FINE, YET I AM STILL GOING TO REPLACE THEM. I JUST NEED THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER.. I AM A TRUE MOPAR FAN AND I LOVE MY DODGE, BUT IF I OR MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER DRIVING/RIDING IN THIS CAR, MYSELF AND SOMEONE ELSE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. PLEASE ADVISE..THANK YOU! *TR
THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED DISPLAYING MESSAGES TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICED. IT HAS BEGAN TO NOT START AS WELL. IT WILL RANDOMLY FLASH THESE MESSAGES ON THE DASH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY POSITIONS. WHEN IT DOES, THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY GOES OUT OF THE VEHICLE SWERVES. THE CAR WAS JUST AT A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE OIL DONE A WEEK AGO AND THEY DID AN ENTIRE INSPECTION ON IT AND SAID IT WAS FINE....IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE 2 YEARS AGO AND THEN STOPPED ON IT'S OWN. SO THE OIL CHANGE WAS BEFORE THE ISSUES STARTED AGAIN. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN AND STILL NOTHING THROWING ANY CODES OUT. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND WE WOULD LOVE SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING!
BOUGHT THE CAR IN. DECEMBER 2018. ON JANUARY 21, 2019 THE DASHBOARD LIT UP SAYING SERVIVE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ALONG WITH THE ABS WARNING LIGHT TOOK CHARGER TO GET FIXED IT WAS FIXED HAVENT HAD AN ISSUE TILL TODAY MARCH 21, 2020 WHEN IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN 1 YEAR LATER ???? NOT RIGHT AND YES THE CAR WAS ON A STREET AT THE TIME IT STARTING NOT TO BRAKE I AM REALLY UPSET I DONT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR BUT LOVE IT...SOMEONE HELP A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT INTO PLACE..THANKS *DT*JB*DT*JB
I WAS DRIVING USING MY PADDLE SHIFTERS MOUNTED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND I PRESSED THE + SHIFTER TO UPSHIFT, BUT INSTEAD OF GOING UP TO THIRD GEAR THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS VERY COMMON AMONG OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES, DATING BACK TO AT LEAST 2015 AND STILL PRESENT IN CURRENT 2019 VEHICLES, YET CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A SOLUTION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE AS THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CARS ENGINE, AND COULD EVEN CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR SPEEDING TICKETS AS THE CAR COULD ACCELERATE SUDDENLY WHEN THE DRIVER IS EXPECTING TO UPSHIFT. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES, IT WAS CERTAINLY NOT A ONE-OFF AND IT IS DEFINITELY NOT LIMITED TO MY VEHICLE, AS IT IS CIRCULATING AROUND THE INTERNET AS A COMMON CHRYSLER PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT IN CHARGERS AND CHALLENGERS I HAVE DRIVEN (I AM A VALET DRIVER) THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS UP ON THE INTERNET DOCUMENTING THE ISSUE.
VEHICLE WAS AT DEALERSHIP (ACADIANA DODGE). AFTER BEING THERE FOR NEARLY A MONTH VEHICLE STILL HADN'T BEEN PROPERLY SERVICED. PASSED WORDS WITH SERVICE MANAGER AND THEY REFUSED TO COMPLETE SERVICE HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND PAY ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP THEREFORE I FEEL AS IF THEY SHOULD'VE MADE IT AN PRIORITY TO MAKE SURE MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT I WAS SATISFIED AS AN CUSTOMER. THEY ALSO LISTED SERVICES COMPLETED ON INVOICE THAT HADN'T BEEN RENDERED. U DO NOT TRUST DEALERSHIPS. I FEEL AS IF I WAS DISCRIMINATED ON BECAUSE IF MY GENDER AND RACE AND WAS COMPLETELY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. PATHETIC!
ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE NO LONGER FEELS STABLE WHILE DRIVING
OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. ALTHOUGH PROBLEM IS PRIMARILY OBSERVED WHILE IN MOTION. ACCELERATOR/BRAKE ASSEMBLY MOVES TOWARDS THE SEAT WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS CAUSES INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL UNKNOWINGLY. IF DRIVING - THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATE, IF BRAKING - INCREASED PRESSURE CAUSES UNPREDICTABLE DECREASE IN SPEED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY DEALER TWICE ON THE SAME VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED WHICH DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME THE ENTIRE ACCELERATOR/BRAKE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED WHICH DID FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER LESS THAN ONE YEAR THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS THAT EVEN A SMALL INCREASE IN PRESSURE ON THE GAS HAS A DRAMATIC EFFECT ON SPEED AND ACCELERATION. IT IS ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE THAT THE PEDAL IS MOVING TOWARDS THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. THE PEDAL WILL CONTINUE MOVING UNTIL AT FULL FORWARD (CLOSEST TO THE DRIVER) OR SWITCH IS USED. THE SWITCH LOCATED ON THE SEAT WILL STOP THE MOVEMENT AND STILL OPERATES TO MOVE THE PEDALS BACK TO THEIR DESIRED POSITION.
I STARTED A UCONNECT SYSTEM UPDATE WHILE I WAS STILL PARKED. THE DISCLAIMER SAID NOTHING ABOUT TO NOT UPDATE WHILE DRIVING. I STARTED THE UPDATE AND STARTED DRIVING (MY COMMUTE IS ABOUT 25 MINUTES). IT TOOK ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE. ONCE IT DOWNLOADED, THE SYSTEM RESET. AT THIS TIME I WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL ON A FREEWAY THAT WAS ENDING, SO I TURNED OFF MY CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN MY CAR JOLTED FORWARDED AS IF IT WERE IN A VERY LOW GEAR AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I THEN WAS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR WHILE THE SYSTEM WAS REBOOTING AND COULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY SHIFT PAST 1ST GEAR LEAVING ME STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEN A SCREEN POPPED UP SAYING THERE WAS 50 MINUTES LEFT ON THE UPDATE. I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE UPDATE FINISHED. AFTER THAT, MY GEARS WERE SHIFTING NORMALLY. DURING THIS TIME, I CALLED DODGE AND OPENED A CASE LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THE PICTURE I PROVIDED WAS A PICTURE AFTER I WAS ALREADY STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TT *BF *CN UPDATED 10/29/18*JB
FIRST WAS A/C ELECTRICAL ISSUES 3 TIMES AND EVEN HAD DASHBOARD PULLED APART ALONG WITH RADIO MAIN CONTROL SCREEN GOING IN AND AS OF 4/4/2018 IM NOW HAVING ABS TRACTION CONTROL WITH STEERING PROBLEMS WHEN STARTING TURNING DRIVING..ALL ISSUES SINCE BUYING MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2016 (LEMON LAWS? PLEASE HELP) ONLY 44K MILES NOW AND DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NO LONGER COVERED.
VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS ON, AND WHEN BARELY PRESSING THE GAS WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILURE: DISABLES TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND SPEED CONTROL. I JUST HAD A SECOND SPEED SENSOR FAIL IN 25,000 MILES. AS THERE ARE FOUR OF THEM IT IS PROBABLY JUST A MATTER OF TIME ALL WILL FAIL.... A CO WORKER OF MINE ALSO HAS A 2015 CHARGER SE AND SHE HAS HAD A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAIL AS WELL.. IN MY CASE BOTH INSTANCES OCCURRED WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR COLD AND DRIVING..
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, THE THROTTLE RESPONSE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. IF YOU SLOW DOWN TO AN ALMOST STOP, OR STOP WITHOUT WAITING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, THERE IS A DELAY IN THE VEHICLES ACCELERATION. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, SUCH AS TRYING TO PASS ON THE FREEWAY, THE RPM'S WILL RUN HIGH BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE, THUS HAVING TO LET UP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND PUSH IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY AND I HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN ONCE WITH NO RESOLUTION.
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AROUND 65-70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I WENT TO STEP ON MY BREAK PEDAL THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE LANES DUE TO THIS MY GS PEDAL WOULD NOT GO FASTER AFTER EITHER. A INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED IN MY CLUSTER BUT I WAS UNABLE TO READ IT DUE TO MY PANIC OF LOOSING MY BREAKS AND GAS PEDAL. LATE THAT NIGHT I TOOK IT TO HUNTINGTON BEACH DODGE AND JEEP SERVICE AND SERVICE ADVISOR BOB SAID THAT THERE WAS A SYSTEM CODE THAT INDICATED LOSS SIGNAL TO BREAKS AND GAS PEDALS. THE REPAIR ORDER INDICATED THAT THE BREAK AND GAS PEDAL WAS NOT CALIBRATED PROPERLY CAUSING THE ISSUE. THIS IS GREAT CONCERN TO BEING THAT IT IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT OR THAT CAN RESULT IN GREAT BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. I HAD TOW FRIENDS IN THE CAR WITH ME AT THE TIME TOO. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
