Started driving my vehicle from work. When all of a sudden my whole dashboard lite up with the "abs light, power saver mode, and the traction control light. While attempting to pull over the vehicle my radio power off and the vehicle began making a "whining" noise. The engine shut off by itself. I pop the hood and while raising the hood white smoke appeared and I could smell something burning. My sister was present the whole time she was tailgating me in her vehicle. Let the car cool down and tried to restart it and the whining noise grew louder and upon starting it seem as if it did not want to start up but the dashboard was not lite up only the message on the dash about being in "power save mode". This was a scary situation for me and I do not feel comfortable driving my only means of transportation for me and my children. My sister gave me a ride home. I have contact the dealership and have an appointment for them to service the vehicle.
Takata recall. My passenger airbag rattles like there are parts loose inside of it. Chrysler just keep saying that the parts aren't available and that I must understand that it takes a long time to manufacture parts and distribute them everywhere. With all of the rattling inside this airbag device I'm fairly sure if I have an accident my passenger won't survive. In regards to the electrical often when I turn my vehicle off lights on the dashboard radio and climate control panel stay on even if the doors open. This doesn't happen all the time and these are not lights or features that should be on when the vehicle is turned off such as the air conditioner light. The problem began somewhere around the end of 2013 beginning of 2014 there have even been a few times when while driving the vehicle all of the interior lights including the dashboard go out. I've reported it to two different dealers and shown photos to the dealer when reporting the problem, they don't seem to know how to diagnose the problem and or have told me there is no problem.
