Headlights will turn on and off intermittently while driving , or will turn on by themselves without the key in ignition. My mechanic have replaced 3 headlight switches but its not working. Also the car has major electrical problems from internal lamps to headlights. I have read lot of review from other users. I can file a lawsuit with user consumers if I have to against Dodge. This thing is very annoying and Dodge should pay for this.

The ignition lock on this vehicle will surrender the key in any position. Though the dealer has replaced both a push rod in the shifter and the shifter itself per Chrysler recall campaign c45, the key continues to come out of the lock in the acc, off, run, and start positions. The dealer's service department suggested the fault is in the lock cylinder, though that was not covered under recall campaign c45 and was not replaced. Note that the cylinder will not turn to the lock or acc position without the shifters being in park and the shifter also will not come out of the park position with the lock cylinder in the lock or acc position nor has either of the above failures ever occurred in this vehicle. The problem with the key coming out however was already occurring by the time the recall notice was first received but the vehicle was just now taken to the dealer for servicing due to a lack of alternate transportation and scheduling conflicts.

While driving at any speed vehicle intermittently stalls. After sitting for a few minutes vehicle will start as if nothing has happened. As of October 2003, the consumer had to sit 25 minutes in a parking lot waiting for the vehicle to start. It continued to stall on her driving down the road twice. Consumer questioned why no one could give her an answer as to why this keeps happening and why there's not a recall. In addition, consumer decided to write every time she has a problem with her vehicle because she noticed it wasn't just her vehicle having problems.

Vehicle started up by itself. When consumer put key into restart vehicle and it wouldn't shut down. Consumer hit brake pedal and engine stalled. Vehicle was used and never passed inspection. Chrysler referred consumer to dealer,and history showed that problem had been fixed before. Please add the VIN# and mileage.
