Car will not start. It will turn on but not start the car. Battery and starter were replaced. Mechanic noted that the fuse box was hot, even thought the engine was cool.

Car is stalling and is having a hard time not dying. Tested the engine codes and nothing came back, tested battary, starter and alternator. The heater only works sometimes. The sun roof opens on it's own and will not close.

Intermittent battery light coming on and off. I am on battery number three and my second alternator and nobody can tell me what is wrong with it. As I was driving, the battery light came on, then the service abs, then the ac went off, and then the service power steering came on. This caused me to lose my power steering while traveling on the highway. I have had multiple diagnostics, all stating that the battery was testing fine, along with the alternator and starter. After installing a new battery and alternator, battery light still intermittently comes on. When the light is on, the alternator is reading around 6v and when it is off, it is reading between 13-14v. Whenever the light comes on, there is the sound of a relay or something happening. Not sure what else to do. The vehicle is 4 years old and I am scared to drive it anywhere or have my children in it. I have looked online and numerous people are complaining about the intermittent battery light and issues associated, so I do not think that there is wiring damage to every single one of these vehicles.
There was already a recall on my vehicle. Then I have had two brand new starters put into my car at the Chrysler dealership and both times the starters were burned to a crisp in less than 48 hours. Now I'm having transmission issues and no one knows what's going on.
I have had several issues with this car. For starters when driving it will all of a sudden stop going for no reason. The car didn't die it simply doesn't go. The rpm's stopped working on one occasion and the head light blew out all in the same night. Dealer said there was no connection, so I had to replace the head light for $100. They advised the ground wire was lose so they tightened it. I had my tire blow out for no reason just driving down the road and it blew. Now on occasions my automatic door locks aren't working. And still wont go when giving it gas. It sounds like there is some kind of electrical problem with this model vehicle. I love my car would want a new one. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle at the time until it is fixed. There are no recalls on the vehicle and my warranty is almost up with problems repeating. I don't know what else to do. I just wish Dodge would fix whatever problems there are.
