1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2019

Steering wheel controls and bluetooth hands free connectivity have failed on this vehicle requiring $700 repair including a new bluetooth module. The vehicle can no longer support the hands free safety features that are essential for mobility connectivity and safety during phone calls. Users are unable to reboot radio devices on this vehicle requiring dealer visit for diagnosis. Diagnosis indicates failure of bluetooth module located near steering wheel. This appears to be a common problem for Dodge biased on info boards, install videos and oem parts being sold to repair this. I have vehicles twice the age of this Dodge with bluetooth still active so this feels like a premature parts failure that is putting my teen driver at risk until repaired due to lack of hands free connectivity.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2016

This started with a burning smell and radio not working. I tried to get car into Dodge dealer in tallahassee but due to hurricane they were backed up. I drove car home from work and in seconds a terrible smell and black smoke filled up the car and out from hood into car. I had aaa and emergency service, car was towed to tallahassee car care center. I am just past my warranty with mopar Dodge but this is not typical and should not happen with only 22k miles. This was dangerous and scary and could have caused a crash on the road.

3 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2014

While entering the highway, the call stalled and seems as if there was trouble automatically switching gear. At first we thought it was just time for an oil change. So after getting the oil change, the radio and engine went hay-wire. She couldn't shut off the engine for over 30 minutes. When we took the car to the Dodge dealership regarding our issues, they told me they couldn't find anything wrong. I bought this car for my wife and have serious concerns. Clearly there is something wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!.
