Takata recall. The seatbelt, once buckled, will not unfasten unless you repeatedly yank at the belt itself. There was repeated clicking in the engine and I could not exceed over 45mph. When the heat is turned on in the car the cool a/c blows on the drivers side of the car and when I tried to adjust the temperature on driver side of car I am unable to do that.

Immediately after fueling, the vehicle stalled while leaving the gas station and lost all belt driven components as a result - power steering, a/c, etc. The vehicle subsequently stalled several more times while driving, and exhibited labored acceleration in between. This was the first incident and has been repeated every time it was refueled until pump shut off since, regardless of different gas stations and fuels.
I got off work started car put on seat belt. Put foot on brake and tried to move gear shift it wouldnt move out of park. There are so many complaints of this issue.
I purchased this vehicle used in September 2010. The vehicle had a clean car fax report when I bought the vehicle. I drove the vehicle to work on Saturday and back home Saturday evening and parked the car in the driveway. When I went to start the car on Monday to take my kids to school the car did not start. I had the car towed to an independent mechanic assuming it must have been the starter. To my dismay the mechanic told me I needed a complete valve job for $2,000. 00 he told me to take the car to the dealer to see if the car was under warranty for engine failure cause it is no way a 2009 should need a this type of work this soon. He charged me $84. 00 for his inspection fee and diagnosis. I had the car towed to Jeep /Chrysler Dodge dealership in ontario California where they told me the same diagnosis except it would cost any where from $2,000. 00- $4500. 00 for the repair. The dealer charged a fee of $384. 00 just to come up with the exact same diagnosis the independent mechanic previously told me for a fee of $84. 00. I have contacted chryslers coporate office 12/07/2011 and expect a call back within 24 hours. To add insult to injury I had the dealer attempt to include the repair of a timing belt and tensioner for $400 that I did not even need. Fortunately I had inspected the belt myself and was told by the independent mechanic that the belt and tensioner are in perfect working order. I addressed this with the service advisor and he told me I might as well get it done because it is due at 100k miles. I am disgusted that the dealer would try to take advantage of a customer in need of help. This unethical attempt to get more money from me made me question what other fraudulent repairs are on my estimate. I believe Dodge should stand by their product and do the right thing. I am prepared to go to the media if Chrysler does not do the right thing.

In the last year I have had to have the front tie rods replaced three time. At certain speeds my vehicle will vibrate. Going over speed bumps or into even the slightest pot hole the vehicle will vibrate. When slowing down or coming to a stop the front end will vibrate. Took the vehicle to the dealership and they advised my front tires needed to be changed and/or rotated to the back due to an unusual wearing on the tires. The wear was on the outisde of the tires. The gear shifter was in park position and there it stayed was unable to shift gear to anything and had to take the console around the lever apart to shift gears. And the brakes squeak all the time even after having them replaced and the rotors replaced as well as the struts. When the car is sitting in idle, the lights dims as though there is a shotrage in the electrical system. I let my 17yr old daughter drive my car to school and when she got to a red light the engine shut off. This is dangerous, so I dont let her drive the car anymore. My seatbelt light stays on & beeps when the seatbelt is connected. These are all safety issues & Chrysler should be held accountable. These issues needs to be addressed.
