The vehicle surges and makes a rattling soud when excelling. Feels like it's losing power. It delays starting when the ignition is on. The suspension feels like it's going to snap. The engine light and air bag light is displayed on the instrument panel/cluster.

My car at 65 miles on the highway car just turned off. No warning or notice. Car came to a crawl. I was lucky to get to the side of the highway. One there the car lights came on the check engine, red bolt lights and the oil light. After a few minutes I started car and it stalled then started but was a rocky start. I shut it off and restarted. The car worked fine. Then 3 months later the car did the same time. This when I placed it in the shop they said it was the transmission. So $1400 dollars later and 5 days I picked up my car and 3 miles away from shop the car did the same thing again. I took it back they did a test the codes where coming back as a weird codes. They did not have a clear answer so they did a throttle clean. Car worked fine. Next 3 months. I went out of state in June 2013 when my car stopped again my car was left in this state waiting on computer board that was out of stock until August 2013 when I picked up my car they placed the new system in it along with a wireless key. As soon as I crossed state line it stopped again. As you can see these issue are unsolvable or no want to take responsible for issue. I still have issue but I cant express it all in this some amount of time.

Interior lights never go off and has a recall. The dealership tells me it takes seven days to get the part and have it programmed. This is unacceptable since this is my only transportation. This vehicle also has three other recalls that the dealership didn't tell me about. I think they are making this difficult so that customers will not get their recalls done. There is also a recall on a suspension part that could cause an crash- wipers and lights- and filling the gas tank is a royal pain in the........ the fuel spits back out at you before your tank is full. These are all safety hazards that Dodge needs to address with no cost or inconvenience for the owner. If these recalls are not repaired there is a reasonable chance that life threatening events could occur. Not sure why the Dodge company allows these dealerships to do this to their customer. I suggest that every person who has had problems complain to the company as well as this site ------- may be someone will do something.
