Pre-existing recall # 14V-373 is getting old, I have initial notice of recall from Dodge but never received notice to get fixed, saying parts not available. This needs attention, I don't need to be another statistic for lack of recall repairs.

All the vehicle dash lights started flashing, gauges bounced to 0 and back, wipers would activate, and vehicle made chime noise - repeatedly. The problem will sometimes last only for a few seconds and other times for the duration of the drive, and even continuing upon startup of the next drive. This problem was very intermittent to begin with and now is becoming more common. I have not been able to find a solution and the dealer originally told me that they could not help me because they could not duplicate the problem. This problem is well known on many online forums and is a huge safety concern for my wife and children. I believe that it may be an issue related to the tipm and related to NHTSA action number :DP14004. Dodge really needs to recall this issue, immediately. The problem is happening very frequently now.

Random electrical issues when either the (1) drivers side door is opened when the car is running, or (2) when the car is first started. Windshield wipers start going, all the panel lights start blinking, interior sounds beeping, and gas indicates on empty. This continues until the car just decides to stop. I am afraid I am going to have a total electrical failure while driving. I hope and pray this becomes a recall soon. It's very scary.
