Power steering locks up, power steering fuses have blown three times in less than three months and there are thumping noises and vibrations when making turns.
There is a electrical problem were it is causing different sensors to go off, and on also causing the air /ac to not work then come back on. I have been taking my car to professionals at certified car shops for the problem and have spent alot of money trying to fix the problem..

Center stack screen which controls the A/C is unresponsive. Upon starting the vehicle the heater is on full blast and the language is changed to german with no possible way of changing it. In drove it the previous day and everything was normal.
While driving dash starts blonking and several issues appeared. Stearing, traction control light, service key, ABS, and others that I can't remember however showing 7 different codes P0133, U0101 U1110 U1120 I don't remember all of it. Reset computer and drive about 200 miles and same not sure what is wrong.
Message on dash indicating that the vehicle is not in park, when the vehicle is in park, per placing the shifter into park position and it will not shut off with the push button, until the message goes away, which can take putting it back into gear, or pushing the automatic start button on the key faub or waiting for for the message on the dash to go away. Looked at a forum that indicated that someone with the same problem had there vehicle go into reverse without the person placing it into reverse. Many forums with people having the same problem.
Bluetooth is not working in hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Needs a very expensive module to be replaced. This alone can cause numerous accidents and possible death due to using your cell phone not on bluetooth!
While driving my battery light come on. That is due to alternator malfunction. The first time it happen all my electrical devices where going on and off. And my steering wheel locked and unlocked due to being a electronic steering. What I did I tried to pull over and stop at a safe place and waiting and the vehicle when back to normal mode except the battery light stayed on and the message in my cluster that said "battery safe mode". so I went back home and checked the voltage on my battery that read 11.8 to 12.3. so I took it to the dealer for the recall of the alternator. The dealer replaced it and said it's ok now. I took it home and on the way home it happen again and I took it back to the dealer and got it checked. And they said they found corrosion the signal plug of the alternator. They cleaned it and said it ok now. A week passed by and it happen again all electrical started to turn on and off including the steering locking up and the battery light came on. And I took it back again to the dealer. And now they said they have to charge me to diagnose the issue if it's not the alternator. Charging system is not part of the alternator and they charge for that issue. Isn't the charging system part of the alternator like the voltage regulator that is in the PCM? if that is a bad component and making the alternator malfunction it's a problem for not making any current. All this happen in motion on street and on highway. All this started on June 3 2020 till now June 25 2020.
I was driving and my car just completely shut off and went into anti theft mode. I pressed my ignition button to start it up and it wouldn't start at all. I called both Dodge dealerships and they told me it might be that my key lost programming or it was my win module.
Slight 'miss' at idle all the time intermittent weak starting odd 'sometimes' problems: 1-cruise control won't come on at all 2-if cruise is on, will not decelerate car on a decline (always above speeds of 55mph intermittent at speeds 55 and below) 3-U connect problems-no bluetooth, passenger door unlock inoperative from outside passenger or driver door at handles(must push button on door panel or on fob)no power at usb or has power but not sensing accessory at usb, no audio from audio port (2013 Charger not on compatible vehicles list for any U connect so why did it get installed?) 4-menu up down ^ buttons on steering wheel don't work 5-burning electrical/rubber smell inside car 5.5-air handler switching problems defrost/floor/dash (seems like defrost always on) 5.75-headlights dim/brighten while in use 5.8-power train probs intermittent(feels like it's towing something behind it as far as power to vehicle from engine) 5.85-overall shifting probs delayed or lacking in power or hard shifting both from park into gear and automatic shifting through gears most noticeable from park into any gear 5.9-while in park at idle traction control light comes on 5.95-engine hesitates causing the vehicle to 'jerk' as if brakes were applied, without warning, not at any specific time (long drive, short drive, reverse, overdrive, hot, cold, whenever) none of the above have ever caused it to throw a code, so have been undetectable by dealership. Except the U connect items which they said should be fixed by updates and weren't. (6&7-before thermostat replaced(just now)) 6-heater fan sounds like it's working but isn't and will suddenly come on full speed 7-heat will blow at good temp. Then suddenly be too hot and burn my hands on steering wheel all 'documentation' is in video.cant upload. Happened since purchased new. All recalls addressed. Mileage now 76850. Thanks.
Rear power supply started smoking after a charging component was plugged in. Smoked for awhile after removing the rear panel that adjust the heat seaters the wires was burnt all the way to the wire harness of the middle console. Dont know if this faulty wiring but it is a fire hazard if not fixed.the vehicle was parked at the time.

A recall for an alternator on my vehicle is said to be fixed but the alternator on my car doesn't match with the alternator replacement in the recall letter. I currently am having electrical issues needed to know if my alternator was fixed and with the correct part

P60 recall: Yesterday, my husband was driving our 2013 Dodge Charger when the battery like came on. Nothing else happened then, but about 15 seconds later - - everything on the dash started flashing, the windshield wipers came on, the car started to jerk and then everything died. He managed to coast into our driveway - luckily was headed home from work and only doing 20mph. No warning - no nothing. Just all of a sudden - entire system failure. No power steering or anything. Kind of a electrical smell in the car. At first, we thought that maybe the battery was loose or something or bad ground. Checked that. Tried jumping - terminals started smoking. Did a search and found out that our VIN is showing an unrepaired P60 recall. Called the dealership this morning - now being told that it may be the P60 recall, but we can't know until we get it to the dealership - who - coincidentally has no appointments available for a week, does not provide loaner cars (or free rental), and may or may not cover the towing. I then contacted Dodge and was told that it could be the recall, but they do not provide rentals or loaners. What" so - - they know that this is an issue in 1/2 a million vehicles, but they accept no responsibility for it other than to switch the part out" very poor customer service on Dodge's part and I will be pursuing this further, once we have confirmed that the part number on the alternator is the correct part number for the recall. I am not waiting to get it up there for them to mysteriously lose the part or even better - pretend that it isn't the right part number. I am feeling very untrusting of Dodge right now!
When driving the vehicle on the highway, the radio has stopped working to where there is no sound. Upon looking up the issue from other Dodge owners online reporting the same problem.the radio amplifier fuse #27 located in the trunk of the vehicle has completely burnt out, possible fire hazard. It is unsafe to replace fuse back in the same location the housing for the fuse is melted and burned.
