MY DODGE KEEPS ON HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON AND BATTERY IS NEW LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF ON PANEL WHILE DRIVING. CONCERNING POSSIBILITY OF CHARGING SYSTEM NOT WORKING AS WELL. BUT ALTERNATOR IS NEW. CAR WONT START SOMETIMES LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD BUT BATTERY IS NEW BOUGHT IN 2016 OCT. IT SOMETIMES WONT TURN OVER AND FACT IS THE CARS POWER DOORS ARE NOW BEEPING AT ME AND NOT SURE WHY. THAT JUST STARTED. I GOT TO UNLOCK DOORS BUT NOW THEY BUZZ CONSTANTLY. CITY DRIVING MOSTLY BUT SCARED TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STOP COMPLETELY .ALL THIS HAPPENS AS I TRY AND DRIVE MY CAR. ONE TIME THIS LAST WEEK CAR DIDN'T START, HAD TO JUMP IT STARTED RIGHT UP THEN. IM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR.NO ONE AT BEAR AUTO TOLD ME THIS CAR HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. REDMOND OREGON.
SERPENTINE BELT REPEATEDLY COMES OFF DURING RAIN, CAR WASH, ETC. POWER STEERING GOES OUT, WATER PUMP QUITS WORKING, ALTERNATOR STOPS WORKING. THIS CREATES SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC AND/OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT. CHRYSLER/DODGE TURNS A DEAF EAR TO THE REQUEST FOR A FIX, ALWAYS POINTING TO OTHER POSSIBLE ISSUES (WHICH AT TIMES ARE LEGITIMATE), WHILE IGNORING THE DESIGN DEFECT IN THEIR VANS (WHICH IS ALWAYS PRESENT). THIS IS A MULTI-YEAR PROBLEM INVOLVING SEVERAL DODGE VANS AND THERE IS STILL NO RECALL ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT. WHERE IS THE PROTECTION NHTSA STATES IS THEIR MISSION? THERE IS A SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM: GATES 38379K ENHANCEMENT COMPONENT KIT PRICE: $125.74 FOUND ON EBAY. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL! *TR
