I have a back up camera as original equipment with the vehicle. For several years now, the camera will intermittently work. Many times, the camera comes on then quickly goes out. I have no picture to assist me when backing out of the driveway, the parking spot, or other situations. I need to crane my head, neck and body around to make sure the way is clear. I use the mirrors and even had my passenger get out of the car and assist in backing out of a parking spot. When I took the car to the dealership, I was told I would need to buy a new camera which costs hundreds of dollars. This week I found out there is a recall on Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler vehicles regarding the back up camera. However it does not cover the year of my vehicle which is 2015. I am wondering why my vehicle is not included. IS it because those model years are more likely not to be operating on the road"?? Is it not still a safety issue" Please let me know what I can do. I like my car and it isn't junk yet.

Automatic transmission shifter cable bushing on transmission side failed for the second time. This is a recalled item for this make and model. It was repaired in 2019 but has failed again. Dealer told me they would not repair again. It-??s obvious the material they use to make the bushing are prematurely failing do to heat.

The ECM/Throttle Positioning System has been faulting for a while and only getting worse causing the car to just randomly steal with no power. Usually can shut off and restart car and itll be good for 1 min - 30 min you never really know. I got stranded in the middle of the highway and couldn't start my car after it died while driving down the road.

My car kept dying on me randomly flashing a light on my dash of a lightning bolt in between two curved lines. I researched it and it was saying that my throttle positioner was going out.

The car intentionally starts. The radio sometimes works and sometimes has no power. It loses the air conditioner and power windows. It burns off excessive amounts of coolant. It smells like it is running hot but isn't. When turning key the gages bounce and it clicks and clicks. Sometimes it starts and other times it will not. Multiple people have stated the same issues. Spending good amount of money on batteries, starters and alternator. The issue continues. The car is at 94k miles.

I was driving the other day dropping off food for a customer and as I shifted my car from park to drive it wouldn-??t change gears. Now let me remind u I-??m stuck in the middle of these strangers driveway as they-??re trying to leave their home and I cannot switch into reverse so I had to keep my foot on that break pedal the entire time. Thank god they were very understanding ( because who knows what could-??ve happened) and said they were leaving for something that wasn-??t very important and would go another day. Come to find out it was my CABLE SHIFTER WHICH I HAD ALREADY HAD REAPIRED PREVIOUSLY AS A RECALL. I haven-??t even been able to drive the car because it will not shift into any gear. It-??s currently just sitting across the street in my apartment complex as I have no way to work or anywhere for that matter. I called the same dealership (I took it to the first time I had the recall done)as soon as the incident happend to see if I could just get it repaired AGAIN (which I shouldn-??t have to) and they told me that there was no way I was gonna be able to drop my car off at the dealership because they were extremely backed up so it would take 4 WEEKS before they could have anyone even look at the car. I described what it was doing over the phone to him and he said it most definitely was the cable shifter. And not only that but he also told me that even with it sitting here or there they don-??t even have the part to fix the vehicle at the moment.This isn-??t even the least of issues with this vehicle that I haven-??t even owned for 2 years.There were never any warning lights or anything that popped up on the dashboard.

The trunk opens when it's not supposed to, it opens on its own. I changed the lock mechanism and it still opens on its own.

When car is put in park, the key is unable to be taken out of the ignition and the car remains on. Ongoing issue. Was told the previous recall (something with cable bushing) would fix the issue. It did not.

When I first got this car three years ago I had a shift problem in the transmission it got stuck in the gear and I couldn't pull the key out when I did some research I realize that there was a recall so of course I went to the dealership and have them take a look at it to fix it they said that I will still be charge in the problem wasn't even originally fixed they rigged it they just made it to where I could pull off but I was still charged and now a couple years later I am having transmission problems again and the dealership is saying that I need a transmission as I am doing a research I realize that my transmission again has a recall on it.

From control arms are welded down and some sort of screw goes through transmission. Mechanics are unable to remove and replace the front control arms because of that. If I cannot get the front control arms replaced, I cannot get an wheel alignment.

I have had the brakes replaced twice due to it shaking while trying to stop. I also have put on three sets of rotors due to the shaking and even with brand new rotors the bouncing and shaking will not go away. The newest problem now is the brakes not wanting to work. I have had them checked by mechanics and they say there's nothing to do but change them out again!

Last night I was driving onto a highway entrance. I went to switch from 1st to 2nd gear. I was going about 25 mph when this happened. I pushed in the clutch pedal to shift gears and I heard a loud click. I lifted my foot off the pedal and the pedal was stuck, pushed all the way in. I had to pull off of the road, and by hand, pull the pedal up. Now every time I push the clutch pedal in to shift gears it gets stuck and I have to wedge my foot under the pedal to pull it back up with my foot. I only did this to drive my car back home. I haven't driven it since.

This happened to me last year around October to December and it is now happening again. I start my car and I will be driving. The car will then stop running while I'm in drive, steering wheel locks up but radio and everything will still be on. It is almost like my car died. I am then stuck wherever the car breaks down on me at and I will try and start my car. It usually take 2 or 3 times before it eventually starts back up. And I only have to turn the key over once and it will keep turning over the engine until I turn the key to turn the vehicle completely off. It also seems as if I have to sit and wait for the car to run for a minute when it does start back up before I can take off again or it will just die on me again while im driving down the road. I have no check engine light on or any other light on until it shutdown on me. Usually its the battery light of check engine light. But as soon as it starts up again they are gone. I keep up to date on my oil changes. I have no clue why it does this. I also recently changed my battery. I also had battery and alternator tested and they were good. Theres times I notice my car idling on its own when I start the car and when I take it out of park it wants to take off on its own. Both of these issues doesn't happen every time or everyday. Its scary when it does happen as I could be going down the interstate when my car randomly wants to shut down on me. It feels unsafe.

My check engine light is on. I had it checked it's not reading anything. My right turn signal light keep going out. I have paid Firestone in East chase in montgomery al to replace the socket and I have had the bulb changed out at least 3 times. My trunk started out opening by it self. I had the battery replaced in the remote. Now the trunk will not open at all. The reverse lights are out. I replaced the bulbs. Still won't work, the trunk light is out. Now the car has started to beep beep like I have locked or unlocked the door when I have not touched it. I have to replace my battery every 3 months. Something is wrong. I have paid money at brewbaker and Firestone in montgomery al. I still have the same problem. When I start the car up. The car beeps beeps when it is parked and the doors locked.

No oil light on, no engine light, and it stalled. There is a problem with oil consumption with the 2.4 engine. My car died after backing out of my driveway and starting a turn. Y car stalled out twice in the middle of intersections very dangerous. Battery light came on, music continued, but enginge just died. The steering wheel froze (no more power steering), and I couldn't press my brake down, it just sat there in the road. I checked the level of my oil and it doesn't even cover the curved part of the dipstick, that's how low it is.the car stalled out again, a few months after the oil change. The car is not indicating when it needs oil, and is shutting itself off so it doesn't over heat while driving at speeds 70mph+ and in the middle of intersections while turning.

My brake calipers are loose on the vehicle so much that you can shake them with your bare hands and as you drive down the road you hear a noise that sounds like a clicking sound I would like this to B looked at as a possible recall if others are having the same issue. Im worry that it could cause an accident and my son or I could get hurt or hurt someone else. You can hear this noise as you are driving especially when U hot a small bump on my private road I live on.
