This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

While driving oil light came on and vehicle stalled losing all power. Took vehicleto dealer, and dealer replaced timing belt and pulley. Timing belt has been replaced twice. Also had computer replaced.
My head gasket blew out with 84,000 miles. Car is only 3 years old. I owned it for 2 years. I took it to a mechanic and 2 Dodge dealerships. The first Dodge dealership had my car for over 6 weeks they could not fix it after the headgasket was replaced. Basically the head gasket was replaced along with timing belt. After that the car would not start. The dealership could not fix it. Plus I had to pay for a computer, which did not fix the problem. The money was non refundable. The car was taken to a second Dodge dealership in which they had it for about 5 weeks. They fixed the problem saying it was electrical. I had to pay over 450 dollars for that. The total I paid was over 1200 dollars. I think its pretty bad that the dealership coulnd not even fix it! it seems to run all right now. Ive read how a lot of theses Dodge models I.e. 2.4 liter engines have a major corrosion problem that the Dodge company fails to tell anybody about or even try to fix it. I had to pay out of my own pocket.
Lost turn signal, radio, and rear window defroster functionality simultaneously. Functionality returned after ignition was turned off and car was restarted. Dealership said that they couldn't do anything because there was no failed part, but that it sounded like a glitch in the body controller. Chrysler referred me back to the dealer saying that nothing would be done unless the part were shown to be defective. My concern is that nobody seems to be willing to share what systems are affected by the body controller and what the potential consequences could be if it fails.
When driving at highway speed 50-55 mph, upon taking foot off the accelerator the engine speed does not return to normal idle, and hangs up at 1800 rpms. The dealer is aware of the problem, but has not been corrected. The service manager stated that it may be a problem with the computer chip.
