Had to replace computer in my car twice. Front driver side headlight wiring keeps burning out. Afraid this car will catch fire with myself and my family in it. Vehicle stopped in moving traffic almost causing accidents. Back and forth to dealerships for guess work. No faith in dodge anymore. Stopped several more times after leaving the dealership. Was without a car for so long almost lost my employment. Car would start most mornings just turn but not crank. Will upload documents when I go pick it up from the dealership yet again.

Lighting complaints
It started with the blinker shorting out the lights inside the car and the problem is persistently getting worse. Now the horn goes off without notice while driving, now the horn is no longer working at all. I was nearly in an accident because I couldn't warn a vehicle they were entering my lane. I am concerned that my car electrical system will completely malfunction while driving as the electrical system is essentially the brain of the vehicle. Numerous dodger owners have expressed that it will only get worse, even to the point of completely cutting off while in traffic.
Issues over the years since purchasing include happened many times: dummy lights flashing on/off at their pleasure, clock always being off time and having to be reset every couple of days, random accelerations not provoked by driving or incline while on cruise and off, warning lights come on while speedometer stops working yet rpm is correct, and car completely shut off while driving
My 2014 dodge avenger has a faulty tipm. This has caused my car to lose all electrical power including engine stalling, lack of power steering, and no lights while driving down a busy highway at night. This happened several times. Once it happened while I was turning through a busy intersection! Now it has caused my wipers to stop working! This is and has been a safety hazard. Chrysler has known about this and has tried to ignore, deny, even cover it up since before 2008. Hundreds of thousands of owners have been...

dangerously affected by this. I don't know why this hasn't been front page news! As an uber and lyft driver I can't make a living now because of this. Chrysler has already been sued over this and need to be continued to be held accountable. They have given no effort to recall all of the affected vehicles yet, only a few models that were heavily mentioned in the lawsuit. This is an outrage. This part costs at least $1000 for the consumer to replace only to be endangered by it yet again. Chrysler has acted lazily and unscrupulously regarding this matter and I need my vehicle fixed. American consumers deserve better than this. This kind of behavior from a car manufacturer is unacceptable. We must have a no charge recall asap.
Hit a few deer head on it took out both sides and complete front end and air bags didn't deploy and it was a pretty hard impact ill be surprised if they don't total the vehicle out we were on hwy 45 in bloomington indiana
