    The last recall that was performed was the p54 fuel relay. I believe the problem is somewhere in the entire electrical system. The reason i suspect this is because the vehicle has lots of intermittent problems. For example, the alarm goes off randomly for no reason since i purchased the vehicle, power locks open on their own, vehicle has difficulty starting at times and then starts right up most of the time, and all…

    On july 3 i was driving our vehicle on a country road when the battery light came on shortly after pulling out of the driveway. We had been on vacation and figured the car had sat for 10 days without being driven and just needed a charge. The light indicator came and went before the car started doing weird things: hazard lights, windshield wipers, seatbelt light, etc. The car quickly lost power and everything locked…

I started to see and smell smoke, so i turned the vehicle off and opened the hood; as i it opened there was a large…

I was in traffic and finally managed to move over to a secure location out of harms way no sooner did i pull off the side of the road then the dodge…

    I purchased my 2011 dodge duango citadel in august 2015. On several occasions, both weeks and months apart, my hazard lights will randomly cut off and on just long enough for you to think you're crazy and second guess if you saw them. I eventually had to take my car to the dodge dealership because the car was not turning over at the start and became inoperable. Once at the dealership, the manager determined that…

    Defective tipm. I'm posting these comments shortly after receiving a call from my local dodge service center advising me of the cause of my vehicle not starting. If this is a problem that has been experienced by many chrysler owners (tipm), then i find it shameful that chrysler has not implemented a fix. Fortunately i have an extended warranty to cover the repair, but i dislike having to use it for a known problem.…

    When the key is put inside the ignition, it takes a couple of tries for the engine to start (if at all) after failing multiple times. After it starts, sometimes the engine shuts down completely when i am driving at 30+mph and when i hit a stop sign/red light! This is very dangerous and needs to be fixed! *js
