Starting January 2019, I had spent $5K of underbody replacement: Bent/rusty axle-F, 2 F-tires; front brakes & shocks, rear rotors, brakes & shocks, front & rear arms. The rear right wheel was locked & I was driving that way with both of my young grandchildren 3 months after I had tires replaced. I kept being told by a friend & my son, 'have you had your car fixed yet?' the suspension sucked; I felt every bump & pothole! the noise in the front to right took over a year to fix.

I came to visit my son for a spring break in West Virginia and I have noticed/heated a very loud noise. I asked my son what is that loud noise? I made an ocular inspection under the car and found very rotten condition sub-frames. I immediately very worried and took the car to the nearest car service repair to take a look at the rotten sub-frames. I noticed the car was very unstable while driving to the shop even at a low speed. The mechanic emmediately concluded that the sub-framed is so rotten and worried it would collapse. The mechanic recommended that the sub/frames be replaced. The mechanics called part supplier to order needed sub-frame parts. The mechanic was told my car has a recall for sub-frames and suggested to bring my car to the nearest Dodge service center in morgantown West Virginia. Again it was very frightening driving the car to urse fidge authorized service center. I discovered that my car has two recalls: S60 and X69. I left my car St Dodge service for necessary repair. I told them that the car is very dangerous to drive. Another issue with the car is the engine losing power while my son was driving to West Virginia university. I was driving and following my son's and suddenly he drove his car along the side road. I thought he was just resting but found later when arrived St the university that the car slowed down along I-68. This really convened me also because it is life threatening. The third issue I exprienced while driving the car, is the brake. Break bounced back and doesn't stopped instantly. This really concerned me si much also. It's a safety hazard. After experiencing the safety concern of this car which can cause lives. I'm really afraid driving this car. I would like to recommend that Dodge company must need to buy-out the cars that are out there to prevent injuries and preserve lives.

I have had a problem with anti-lock brakes. I could not control my vehicle; my steering wheel was shaking, front wheel felt like it was buckling and I could not control my vehicle; almost got into an accident. I have brought this to the attention of the dealer and he told me thats the way the brakes are; terrible he said. This was done when it snowed. I do not like anti-lock brakes because of that reason; I drove a Chevy Malibu and when I applied the brake pedal, it didn't do what my car did. Any suggestions would be helpful. I just won't be able to drive in the snow, that sucks!!!!! when I'm driving on the highway I hear a moaning underneath the vehicle, the dealer didn't hear anything; probable didn't take it out for a ride.
