Interior lights go on and off, instrument panel, blinks, while driving. Alarm goes off for no reason. I've had to replace 3 batteries, as it seems there is a drain in the system somewhere that knowone can find. Its sitting dead once again in front of house. Barely touch cables to battery extended connections and it will start right up. After charging battery it is dead within 24 hrs. Turning key, interior lights do not flicker or dim, but you hear click of like dead battery. Definite problem with wiring in this car, and a safety issue when driving. Just spent $1800 in 6 months also replacing 3 injectors, and all O rings.gas line on back firewall was also cracked and putting fumes into interior. Only did this when at idle. This wiring harness problem needs to be addressed before someone gets into an accident. Also switch on headlights cannot be used on auto, drains battery quicker. Now heat/ac/lights goes out on dash. Seem to hear a continue hum even when car is shut off..not radio! help, spent to much on this car with 126,000 miles on it to feel I can't put my children inside to be safe, or stranded. Recall wiring harness! all above happens either highway, or city streets. Now front interior dome lights have stopped working, but directional indicator still works. Just waiting for this to catch on fire. About time Chrysler did something about these issues. I will never buy another Chrysler vehicle again.also replaced fuel pump, timing belt, pulleys etc, before injector and fuel line problem, that occurred 3 months later.
Takata recall I have just spent $435 to replace the starter assembly in my Chrysler. Had just purchased a new battery. The car only has 60K miles on it. Has there been any recalls for this issue? that seems fairly low miles for a starter replacement.
All of the dashboard gauges stopped working, the driver seat started moving, all at once. The speedometer stopped working while the driver's seat was adjusting itself--super dangerous!
The car has had regular oil changes and was due for a transmission service. Sensors were replaced approximately three years ago. Mechanic indicated that the pan below was wet with oil. When the car was towed out of the driveway, aaa tow jumped the battery it held for about a minute and then would not hold the start. The tow driver indicated that he believed that it was no transmission. Sometimes there is an engine knock and sometimes as the charge is about to stop the engine runs with no noise. This car only has approximately 61,0000 miles, and has only been long distance to traverse city. Further one shop indicated that the battery was only operating at 25%. no one would do a paid diagnostic on this vehicle. It was towed to Firestone and mo's, in southfield and oak park respectively.
When driving the dash light dim and the idiot lights come on and the gas and speedometer go dead. Sometime the front drivers seat decides to readjust itself and almost caused me do wreck. Was told all this is know by Chrysler but cant afford to take to shop.
