I was driving along the freeway and the car just automatically went into limp mode. i change the oil i flush everything then when i went on to the kelly book blue book to try to sell it as saying that it had a bunch of recalls welcome to find out chrysler saying it doesn't so i don't know what's going on with my car and neither do mechanics.
Takata recall.- i am approximately 2 years old with the light from the driver's airbag turned on all the time. i had it reviewed and i was informed that it is a defect in the bag and that it will not be opened in the event of an incident. two years have passed and no revision is called for replacement. with the shift lever i was sent by chrysler a notice to carry out a revision, i did it and today after 2 years being in a street stopped and trying to make the change to drive i could never move it i just got stuck and could not drive more. how many more times will i have to call to do something about it? because i had to pay my composure and chrysler refused to reimburse me for that money arguing that my car is no longer guaranteed !!!!!
Upon acceleration to enter highway vehicle continued to accelerate as tho the throttle was to the floor. almost rear ended car in front of me. had to apply brakes and turn on caution lights and pull over. engine seemed as tho it was going to blow up. very scary. upon further inspection it seems as tho dodge/chrysler rushed production of the intake components to get cars to show room in all 08 with these intakes. chrysler later fixed the problem in all future vehicles. problem lies in cheap components in the runner flap assembly on the intake manifold. problem throws code p2008 and code p2017. flap sticks open and increases horsepower without intent of driver. chrysler knows about this problem because they fuxed it in future cars. i am sure all of these cars have this faulty component and therefore; depending on how and where it fails it can be extremely dangerous.
When i bought the vehicle the check engine light was on. i asked the dealer and he said he was just sitting for awhile when i drove away it was off then 2 weeks later came back on. when i took it to eurozone they told me it was the heads need replaced that's 2900.00. i looked to see if this part was recalled and if it had been replaced on my vehicle i am unable to see where if at all this has been addressed by the dodge makers??? i love my vehicle i just want it to run like its suppose to also my tire light is on and have replaced all tires and still will not go off even after being reset. also my car has an antifreeze smell like the car is hot but never shows that in the temp gauge it's getting hot at all. please someone give me some info on what i can do to fix these problems???? now the new light is my brake light illuminates when i am driving then shuts itself off.

I've already had to replace the power control module (pcm) once just a year and a half ago, and now i have to replace it again and my car has been out of commission and sitting at a mechanic's repair shop for almost 2 months now after fixing other things first before finally determining it was the pcm again. car will not rev above 2.0 rpm and is in "limp mode" with the service engine light along with the lightning bolt symbol present on the dashboard.
Tire pressure monitoring system indicator light came on. every since i have been having various problem with this car. such as engine rough idling/stalling, transmission issues, tire pressure monitor don't work, engine won't start/dead battery. just a lot of unusual problems. i be driving the vehicle city or highway. don't matter whether i am driving straight or turning. this vehicle will stall in the middle of the road. yet stall right back up. all started after the tire pressure monitoring light came on. i believe it has something to do with the tire monitor system. i have been taken chances, hoping that it will go away like it started. my repair service can't fine the problem and said to check for recalls. these unsafe conditions have been going on for a while. help needed

We have been having a lot of problems with our car lately. first problem we had was with our alarm system. the alarm has gone off on us both when the car is off and when the car is on. the horn starts and won't go off until after about 5 minutes no matter what we do. we have try turning it of with our key alarm, turning the car on and off, unlocking the doors but nothing seems to work. yesterday we were driving our car and the car stall and we were lucking to be able to pull to the side safetly since we were coming to a stop. after a couple attempts, we got the car back on and running. i have search this problem and i found that it could be the tpms. as to what we have experience with the car lately, we are almost sure it is this. we contacted the dealership and we were told that this recall was perform back in april of 2008 and are not responsible for anything the car is going through now and will not replace the part for us again. can you please let me know if ...
