In August 2012 the engine warning light came on. It was taken to Dodge dealer numerous times for repair. They would reset saying Chrysler would not allow repairs. In October the Dodge dealer kept the vehicle until a week or so before christmas 2012. The engine warning light has stayed off. However within a few days of the vehicles return, I received a recall notice regarding the left tie rod ball stud....which could cause crash without warning. I immediately called the Dodge dealer. He said Chrysler was not supplying the repair parts. He put me on a list. I have called the dealer many times and he says I am at the top of the list for repairs but Chrysler is only shipping one or two parts for the repairs per month.
Driver side control for power windows/power locks - smoldered, smoked and then started small fire. Lots of smoke - to the point we were sick from fumes. Doors and window power operation ceased. The entire control panel melted and need to be extinguished.
