NHTSA complaint #11321048, filed 2020-04, 118,000 miles“The tipm is starting to fail (which apparently Dodge knew about but will not fix due to lack of reports) fuses and relays are starting to blow causing all kinds of electrical issues. The tipm for the car is typically 500-1000 dollars which is a lot to spend to fix on a car that the manufacturer knew would eventually happen. Do not ever buy this vehicle. Worst car to own!! Ever!!”

We did not purchase it new, we purchased it pre-owned from the Dodge dealership. But we have paid to keep it up and stay ahead of most problems but there are several that are reoccuring and nothing seems to make them any better. The lights on the dashboard will light up and when you take it in to be looked at there is nothing that can be found wrong with it. The brakes seem to go bad pretty frequently. …”
