The dashboard lights and the head and back lights will flicker on and off. The car has shut off while driviing in traffic. Sometimes it doesnt start at all, I have to baqng the door and then the loghtas will come on. I put a brand new battery and altintor in the car and my nechnanic doesnt have a clue what is wrong woth it. Believe it to be the computer system.
The car randomly loses power along with the power steering and cuts off. I could be driving for 30 mins and it'll be just fine then out of no where it may cut off at stop light, while I'm decelerating or even trying to gas up. It has cut off numerous times on the highway without any warning or light and I'll only know by the sudden loss of power steering or noticing the RPM gauge dropping to 0. sometimes it'll start up just fine right afterwards like nothing happened and sometimes it'll take a minute or two to start up. It may start a right back up then cut right back off or it may start up and be fine until the next day. Sometimes it only starts back up when I disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few seconds.
I think my car has electrical issues window start and stop working. I replaced a headlight and it starts and stops working at one point my started stopped and started working. My headrest deployed on passenger side while driving and it's a big space now on

On 1/12/2020 while driving home from work I turned on my right turn signal to merge and it rapidly clicked and flashed on the dash after the initial 3 normal flashes and I noticed the car in the lane next to me wasn't acknowledging my turn signal. Once home an hour later, I realized my passenger rear tail light was steadily light (not flashing) even though my car was off and my lights were not engaged and position off. I could not get my turn signal/tail light to turn off. The brake lights work fine when the brake is applied but the tail lights will not turn off. The rear signal won't work either since the light won't turn off to flash. I had to remove the light from the rear fender and unplug the light so my car won't die and plug it back in when I go to drive so I atleast have the tail and brake light on while driving. I can find no info on how to fix this and Chrysler wasn't any help. The problem is still unresolved, but it did go off for just one moment, flickered and came back on when I plugged it back in the last time I drove.
Car stalled out while driving. This happened several times. Sometimes while driving on a straight road and sometimes when making a sharp turn to park. Car horn also started going off on it's own while driving. Had to have the tipm module replaced. This is a safety issue.
Started with the ABS and traction control lights coming on, my cruise control stopped coming on and a week later I pulled out of the bank and stopped alone side of the curb and the car just shut off, no restarting at all nothing happens, the right info panel said no bus, its at the Chrysler dealer ship now and they can find nothing wrong with it at all, even though it wont come on.
Our car started over heating & smoke started coming out, the car was beeping & the gauge for the heat was sky rocketing to the H. white smoke started coming out of the left side of the engine & then the car was making a knocking sound. At the stoplight waiting to turn our car ended up shutting off & not starting.
To start off the ABS and traction control will not stop turning off and on even after replacing everything. Almost all the time when it rains they will kick in the E brake and start grinding. No matter how many times I change the brakes and rotors and master control they never stop squeaking. Lastly almost all the electrical problems started after the alternator failed and I had to replace it. My speedometer just died on me today and I have no clue how that happened.
The battery light in my car continues to come on even after having the battery replaced as well as the alternator replaced. Also the internal lights inside of my car began to blink like crazy, air conditioner was coming on/off, and the lights even shut off at one point almost as if the car couldn't control itself. I do not feel safe driving it.

Air bag light is on, going threw brakes and tires every 6 months sense I bought it in 2016. Also no heat started at passanger side and worked its way towards drivers side. Also front windows do not go down started passanger side and 3 months later no driver side. Also was driving about 35 mph made right hand turn car has stalled 5 times.
While driving my vehicle back the office from my lunch break, I made a right hand turn onto the main road and began to accelerate the vehicle with more gas. At about 35mph the car engine completely shut off and I had to coast to the side of the road with no power steering. I had to wait approximately 20 mins until my car would restart again. I was able to get back on the road until after another few hundred yards of driving the car stalled again completely. I was then forced to call a tow truck to have it taken to an auto shop.
I was traveling 55 mph on the highway my tire blew out an the fender blew off but somehow the cars whole engine wiring system was ripped out of the car in which the whole car went completely dead of all electricity thankfully I was able to pull on shoulder of highway before the car stopped rolling.

I bought my car brand new in 2012 from chryaler Dodge and Jeep in springfield pa. I babe around 96,000 miles on my car and this will now be the third alternator that has been put in my vehicle. From what I know, the alternator should last up between 80,000 to 100,000 miles. I believe there has to have been a defect with my specific car. Along with some of the other recall items I am now reading about with my model, having kids, I am increasingly concerned about my health and saftey driving this vehicle. I want to know what can be done about this on your end
