| Description of the problem | Vehicle does not start easily and at times experiences total power loss i've changed every fuse and relay as well as fuel pump and any other module or relay that can be replaced and much to my dispare the problems are still there to the point i don't feel safe driving with or without my whole family when it finally does decide to start it runs great but then you have to worry about the complete power loss issue which renders my brakes power steering and stability control completely useless! I don't know what else to do i'm stuck paying my finance company for a vehicle i can't drive and basically serves as little more than a pretty yard ornament we just got this vehicle in november 2015 the first sign of an issue was less than a week after purchase after little more than a month after driving off the lot and the third time losing power while driving the final time being on 275 in cincinnati 1/5/16 i decided that it's probably best to park the vehicle and not put our family in jeopardy especially during the cold cincinnati winter until we can figure it out or afford both the car payment and the trip to the ridiculously expensive dodge dealership to pay for their technicians figure it out and then pay again to have it repaired |
