While driving lights on dash all flash, windshield wipers come on, horn won-€™t work, windows won-€™t work, headlights will turn off, speedometer drops to zero. Problem started a year ago. Took it to dodge and 2 independent auto repair places, with no fix. We were without the car for 4 months while waiting to see if anyone could find a fix-as far as we were told there was none. Car drove fine for a couple of months with some -€œminor-€ issues-lights flash speedometer drops- pull over turn car off- everything ok. Today full electric failure! EVERYTHING stated above happened at once, in addition to feeling like I could not accelerate.

I was driving home from work at night. My battery light came on. Just got a new battery a few months ago when wiring harness was replaced, because of headliner fire, due to sun visor recall. So, I pull into a parking lot, all kinds of strange lights started flashing car completely lost all power, no lights no emergency lights, nothing! looked under hood and the alternator was smoking. Called corporate said it was a recall but they do not have a fix for it. I have to come out of pocket and pay for repairs and be reimbursed by Dodge. It also ruined my battery. Car is still being serviced so don't know if anything else was damaged as of yet. I will update.

While driving, the airbag warning light came on. I took the car to papa's Dodge in new britain, ct. After investigating for 3 days, they told me a wire in the A-pillar was compromised and that car's airbag system may not operate in the event of a crash. I was given two options for repair. The first was to order a new wiring harness that would put the repair cost close to $800. The second was to have the wires spliced and repaired with no guarantee for $450. I opted for the second option and the repair has held up now for a month. This is an obvious design flaw through no fault of my own that could put my family and I at risk in the event of a crash. These wires are compromised by simply opening and closing the door to enter the vehicle. When I contacted Chrysler about reimbursing me for the repair, I was given 4 free oil changes and told there was nothing else they could do.

The air bag light goes off and on and also dings...very annoying. I see other complaints regarding this issue. Should be a recall!!!! I have only owned the vehicle 2 month and have had to replace the cluth fan on the A/C and the visor recall..not happy with Dodge so far. Wish I would have kept my GMC, I had no problems.

My airbag light has been coming on and off since I bought this SUV brand new. I have taken it back to the dealer they clear the code cause they said nothing was wrong. Well now it is on and wont go off, the dealer wont send me my records I have requested them through Chrysler Dodge 3 months ago. The dealer is saying I have never brought it in for that which is not true. They are refusing to fix the two open recalls they want me to drive 80 miles to get it fixed they keep saying there is a legal issue and there is no legal issue. Chrysler Dodge is believing everything they are saying with now proof. I have only this SUV for my family and now the airbags will not deploy if in a wreck and Chrysler has informed me they could deploy anytime. How is this safe"?" today I took it to a different auto place they hooked it up and got the code B1C29, low and behold went online I found 4 open complaints with the same problem, and the same service from Chrysler they are putting lives at risk. My 16 year old daughter drives my SUV and I have to worry about her cause no airbags, this is why I bought this SUV for the safety aspects. Please get them to fix this and the two open recalls. Your my last hope.

While driving my vehicle at 45mph the airbag light came on and stayed on for several weeks. I talked to Dodge dealer and they said that they have had a couple of complaints about it, but there are no safety recalls or tsb's on this issue. It went off on its own and stayed off for about a month. Same speed different time of year, the airbag light came on and this time blinked and then came on solid intermittently for about another two weeks. Called Dodge again and they said there was still no recall or tsb for this issue. It is now September and it has once again decided that the airbag light wants to come on and stay solid. Had a service appointment with Dodge and they said that they would have to charge me for a diagnosis.
