Was driving normally going 65 mph on the highway when white smoke was emitting from inside the steering wheel. Between the dashboard and steering wheel. Engine was fine and no warning lights came on. Everything ran great except for the white smoke. I don-??t know what it could be. Luckily it didn-??t catch on fire
Car stall no warning lite. Car has stalled when driving on the freeway, when exiting the Freeway as well at making turns. This has been happening for about 3 years. Seems to only happen during the summer months. The dodge dealership said that they would not be able to identify the problem unless a warning lite was on or they test drive and it happens. The problem doesn't happen all the time it's sporadic.
On December 11, 2019, my son was about to leave for work when the horn starting blowing in the car and wouldn't stop. The car was stationary. After about 4 minutes it stopped. I took the car to supreme Chevrolet in plaquemine where I purchase the car from. The car was checked out and told that I was going to need another horn, they had ordered one and it should be in in about 3 days. When I went to the service area to pick up the car, the guy told me that the horn and airbag had been taken out and they had put something around the stirring wheel to hold it down until the horn can be replaced. I have checked back multiple times and they are still saying they cannot locate the horn for my car. It's very dangerous to drive a car without a horn and an airbag. Today is October 23, 2020 and I have yet to get a horn and airbag for the car.
Car has stalled several times while driving above 60 mph. Seems like loses power and fuel pump shuts off. Had to pull over and restarts with no issues. Kind of dangerous when you lose power to brakes and steering too.
2014 timing belt was recalled and apparently repaired. Car shut off in the middle of the highway and then engine seized. Had it towed and service said it was timing belt again and now engine needed to be replaced. Called Dodge, they said there is nothing they can or want to do.
Trunk latch on car wont latch when shutting trunk. When you shut it and turn on key trunk opens again. You have to shut it twice everytime to get it to latch. This happens everytime you unlock car or start car.

I told him it's regarding a situation that happened on Saturday and I was willing to wait on eddie (Y) if he isn't not available at the moment.the sales associate told me he wasn't going to text eddie and let him know. However, he then proceeded to tell me that eddie probably is in a meeting or something. I told him okay and I walked back over to express lane and asked david (X) if I could speak with eddie and that I was willing to wait. David was not helpful at all.he said we'll its no way I can't get in touch with him for you. So I walked back to sales and the receptionist asked me what I needed help with and I told her situation on how the manger david (X) was not trying to help me.

I walked to his office and tapped on the open door and said hey mr (Y) I was told to come over to your office to discuss a safety issue with my car that his team messed up and did work without my permission. He started yelling rudely I can't help you I'm doing payroll right now. He said let david help you.I tried to express to him why I couldn't get mr. (X) help but he cut me off and called the sales associate who I had reported the problem to on Saturday in then office.

Takata recall (S43 - 16V-352, July 1, 2016) - "the front passenger airbag inflator housing may rupture while deploying during a crash. The potential for such ruptures may occur in some of the subject airbag inflators after several years of exposure to persistent conditions of high absolute humidity and/or heat aging. In the event of a front passenger airbag inflator rupture, metal fragment(s) could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in additional injury or death to vehicle occupants." I own a 2010 Dodge Challenger and am still waiting to have this recall fixed. There was a similar recall on this vehicle July 14, 2015 (R37 / 15V-444) -"the driver airbag inflator housing in your vehicle may rupture, due to excessive internal pressure, during normal airbag deployment events. This condition is more likely to occur if your vehicle has been exposed to high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time. The inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death." An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. This is my only vehicle that I use to Transport my teenager and toddler. I am at risk every day when I am driving my vehicle. Knowing that this serious problem exists and cannot be fixed is extremely unsettling. How many more injuries and deaths is it going to take before action is taken"?"
26,000 miles and now my ac compressor is grinding and I have no air... have not had the problem until I took it to the dealer for timing belt recall..still have not had word on airbags either"?"
Air vent door motors not opening and closing properly blowing hot air one side and cold air other side. Making noise under dash. Repair shop stated that the malfunction is the door blower motor vent control temp, vents motors came apart which means the whole under carriage needs taken out including center console. Research show a on going problem with this model. This has happen twice and is very costly.
It was observed that a gas smell was noticed while in my car when parked in the garage and threw out my vehicle cabin. After a day or so I called the Dodge dealership and requested to bring it in due to a strong gas vapor smell coming from my vehicle. They say it is not a problem. Had my fuel system replaced and still have the same problem. I feel I am driving a car bomb and am just waiting for it to explode. I feel that the company has no respect for the people who buy their cars.also while driving on my way home doing about 60 mph in the right lane on the expressway and the car completely shutdown, the engine light came on, I couldn't even steer the car, the steering wheel locked up, breaks locked up, had to let the car coast into the emergency lane, luckly there weren't any cars in front or behind me. Which could have been fatal. While in the emergency lane put the car in park turned off their ignition, turned on the ignition put the car in drive and the car wouldn't move, put it back in park turned the ignition off again, started it again put in drive. But still kept staling had to have it put on a trailer and hauled back to dealership. They still could not find anything wrong with it. No codes would show up and they wouldn't do anything unless a code showed up. Deathtraps are what these are.
The vehicle stalled after braking at around 15 mph. The vehicle was able to be restarted, but unable to shift into gear. As mentioned by many others, this is a severe safety risk and needs to be looked into. My vehicle was towed to dealer and an ECM flash was conducted, but I am afraid of this issue reoccuring like so many others.
