Error code B25AA-01 Front Passenger Door Handel- General Electrical failure is on in my car since you are investigating it thought you might know
BREAKS AREN'T WORKING SHOP TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND SAID THERE'S NO AIR IN THE LINES AND NO LEAKING LINES TESTED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND NO ISSUES BUT MY BREAKS ARE STILL NOT FULLY ENGAGING. TRUNK DOESN'T OPEN I'VE BROUGHT IT TO 4 SHOPS AS WELL AS A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND NON HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE LATCH TO DISINGAGE.
IN COLD WEATHER (30 DEGREE AND LOWER) THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED AFTER BEING OPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. I FOUND A YOUTUBE FIX BY PULLING THE CAR HANDLE UP AND USING A SCREWDRIVER TO PUSH THE LATCH EITHER UP OR DOWN THEN CLOSING THE DOOR.

THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN PARK, THE BRAKE SET.I POSITIONED THE JACK AS OUTLINED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I THEN BROKE THE 5 LUG NUTS LOOSE PRIOR TO RAISING THE VEHICLE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT USING THE JACK AS IT SEEMED TO BE STRAINING TO RAISE THE SUV. I FINALLY GOT IT RAISED TO A LEVEL TO CLEAR THE TIRE FROM THE FLOOR SURFACE. I REMOVED THE TIRE AND JUST AS I DID THIS THE JACK COLLAPSED AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED. THE FENDER WELL JUST BARELY MISSED CRUSHING MY HAND. I TOOK PHOTOS OF THE CONDITION AFTER IT FELL. I REMOVED THE JACK AND THE FRAME WAS TWISTED AND THE LIFTING SCREW WAS BENT. THE...
