Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON AND WHEN IT DOES THE CAR WON'T SHIFT PROPERLY (AUTOMATIC), JUMPS AND STUTTERS AND DIES. ALSO LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON EVER SINCE I GOT THE CAR 5+ YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AT (DODGE DEALER) AT LEAST TWICE WHO TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER AND HAVE HAD IT TO LOCAL CHEVY DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES AND NO ONE CAN CAPTURE ANY CODES OR FIX IT. NOW IT THINKS THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION ALL THE TIME AND LOCKS DON'T WORK PROPERLY EVEN THO I HAD SWITCH REPLACED ON RECALL. SEARCHED INTERNET AND SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SOME SAID IT WAS ABS ISSUE. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL? *TR
