I turned on the emergency lights. The radio was still playing, but the car had simply stopped moving. I pressed the engine button to turn the vehicle off. Then i pressed it again to restart it. It started with no problems and i continued to take my son…

    The check engine light constantly remains on after all codes have been addressed. This vehicle is routinely given maintenance checks. Other the codes given (p40), what could the issue by? I have called my local dodge dealership for assistance with the recent recall hoping that would help resolve the issue, but the clerk was very rude stating they were busy. I love my vehicle but for safety concerns, i feel i may…

I let it sit and the following day it shuddered and shut off…

    I had problems starting my car. The engine would try to turn over, but would not start. I put the ignition on run, pumped the gas a few times and it would eventually start most of the time. Took it to my mechanic and we replaced the fuel pump. That didn't fix the problem. After researching the issue we replaced the tipm. That has so far fixed the starting issue, but now my fog lights blink when i try to use my right…
