When pulling into the store a warning came on my screen stating that my turn signals were out when they weren't. also stated that my low beams were out, they weren't. while driving in traffic a metallic burning smell came through the air vents every couple miles.
The right window no longer works as well as the driver side window. The trunk is also not wanting to open. Key gets stuck in ignition every time I try and turn the car off. Shift cables also broke, I was just getting home when it happened I heard something snap but didn't think much then I parked and tried to drive off again and the car wouldn't shift to drive I could move the stick.back and forth still, had it replaced a couple of days later they said the whole rod had come out and shot into something else in the vehicle had shift fixed. Also had motor mouths fixed the mouths became loss within a couple of days now I believe the ac compressor is messing up ac kicks on but no air comes out, but it only happens once in a while car also stays cold for a long while and makes a weird clicking noise when I start it up. Also smells like oil. Passage seat also is stuck. This all happened within 2years ive had the vehicle.
Battery light comes on. Recall for shifter was fixed, but the fuse box is now burnt. It's is a special part. I think that there is a correlation between the recall then part is inter the battery and near fuse box,
When I'm driving, my car has completely lost power and wouldn't move. The battery light comes on, although I have a brand new battery that I got a year ago, and when I turn the car completely off to restart it, it will not turn back on. I found a recall and had the recall fixed and it is now worse with shifting than it was before, and it's still stalling and losing complete power. This is a huge safety risk as it can cause an accident or death, if this were to happen while driving on the highway or turning at an intersection. Fortunately enough, I was at the end of my street, stopped at a stop sign and went to drive again and that's when it lost power.
TPMS system failure (multiple times) I have had my TPMS system repaired three times since I have owned my vehicle and it never fails that it stops working again shortly after getting it fixed. I have no idea if this is considered a safety issue but it could be for some people that don't pay attention to their tires. The right cv axle has also gone out of my car at approximately 70,000 miles. This item was covered by warranty but other friends that own Darts have mentioned having the same problem. It created a bad popping noise and made going over bumps slightly unstable. Transmission shift cable -- this is active recall on my vehicle but figured I would include the information.

Car dropped out of gear in the middle of the highway during rush hour traffic. It was terrifying I was almost rear ended but was luckily able to get off the road safely. Dropped speed and there was no acceleration.
Takata recall: While I was leaving work for break, it started to pour down raining so I decided to pull into a driveway and turn around but my car wouldn't go in reverse, after so many attempts of trying I tried to get it to go in park and when I did the car kept moving toward the street off the side walk. So since it was still able to drive I pulled out off the curb and went back to work and tried getting it to stop but it kept moving so I turned the car off. After that I was no longer able to start my car and my key remote was stuck in the ignition. Coworkers came to see what the issue was and told me there's a recall when they googled it. The people I've been talking to have been no help and I've been without my car or any assistance for an entire month.
Transmission control module caused vehicle to surge forward without warning. Car eventually just stopped working and had to be towed to dealership, where they are having trouble locating the exact cause of the electrical trouble, but have narrowed down to the tcm, ECM, and/PCM. Car only has 70359 miles on it, and the dealership is saying it may need to be completely rewired and programmed.

Evert 2 minutes the media console turns bright white, then shuts off, then reboots. When driving at night the light from the console is blinding. Even if you turn off the screen, it will reboot every 2 minutes. It does this all the time, parked, or driving.
My car shuts off while driving at almost any speed; at times when I hit a hard bump, or make hard turns, and even when idling at times as well. Rpms shoot to zero and the engine shuts off leaving you only able to steer...I've had it in the shop at least twice for the issue since the first time it happened and each time whatever it is seems to be fixed until a few weeks/months later when it ends up happening again. The latest time was 04/08/19 on my way to work in the morning when I was merging onto the expressway; at about 40mph the car stalled and this happened 3 more times before I was able to make it to work.
I first started experiencing problems with my car in 2017 my car would overheat and shut off on me in the middle of the road. I took it into a Dodge dealership and they said it was my battery after that I had them change the battery. After maybe a day I went to work and the car shut off on me again. I then got an oil change and the car worked good for a few months until I came upon the problem again the car shut off on me in the middle of the highway. I always thought it was the oil because when it happens I change my oil and the car is fine after. I changed my oil recently and my car is still experiencing electrical problems the battery light turns on and it is a hassle to turn the car back on. I have read a lot of complaints on people who have the same car as me it is a big safety hazard to be stuck in the middle of the road I am not satisfied with my car especially since I keep up with the vehicle maintenance and it only has around 40,000 miles on it.

My car shut off on its own while I was driving to work, so we were in motion. It has now happened 4 times to me in a span of 3 weeks. I can either be driving during the day or night. It will happen in the middle of driving or when I come to a stop sign and adding pressure to the brake. Once it happens, and if I put it in park as well, the stick shift will lock up as well. Again this has now happened 4 times to me while driving and coming to a stop.
Car is stalling and cutting off while driving. Got an oil change. Car doesn't react to pushing on accelerator. RPM rev after hesitating with foot on the gas. Car is shaking and running really hard. I believe its the transmission control module, which is common in Dodge Darts. Its been recalled, but not on my model. Stalled in the middle of an intersection. Had to restart car 3 times.
Battery needs to be replaced about every 6 months due to something draining the battery but nothing has been found. Electrical is all messed up, the computer system malfunctions. When car is turned on at randomly the air and music will go full blast and it cannot be turned down or shut off. Mechanically the car is running fine but the temperature gauge moves up and down while driving and while sitting still due to electrical issues. When driving on normal backroads or highways there is a loud clunking noise coming from the engine area and nothing has been found as to why it makes the noise.
I've replaced my battery twice since purchase in May. Something is draining the battery and I've even experienced driving on the highway and all my dash lights start blinking until the car cuts off and I have to restart it to get to my destination; and then take it the auto parts store to have them recharge it.
