Air bag light on dealership says it has nothing to do with the orc recall that was repaired, brakes skip then pop before stopping took it to multiple mechanics to get inspected none of them could fine an issue including Dodge dealership. Front door can not be shut before back door or it will scratch back door. Oil leak from engine gasket and engine pan. Popping it steering column and shaking when going down hill. Again dealership and 4 other certified mechanics can not find any issues with the popping it the steering column and jumping and skip in the brakes before stopping. The brake issue happens at any speed and popping in the steering wheel happens mainly any slower speeds when letting go gas or brake no turning going straight.
