It's just a recall for alternator. Its free. Dodge's aren't bad. (Toyota had gas pedal that gets stuck floored and exploding airbags while driving but i mean toyota is perfect. Who cares if your car flew into river or airbag exploding while driving bigger problem is alternator. Of course this was sarcasm. Toyota is great but other car manufacturers are also great. Scotty is great mechanic but why always "because it's dodge this is wrong". Take for example dodge demon you can do hundreds of burnouts and still drive home normally.

Scotty is right the central computer programming is to blame for these. I had a 2011 Citadel after 3 years of owning it I started having these issues. - replaced the alternator - recalled the fuel pump relay (then it started not shutting off the fuel pump after engine stop (would come out to 1/8th a tank less) - multiple recalls to replace the sunroof wiring harness (possibility of setting the car on fire) - Central computer was replace 3 times - Recalls for the possibility of the engine not shutting off on rollover (programming issue) - Recalls for the possibility of air bags not deploying on crash or deploying randomly! - Adaptive Cruise Control would freak out anytime I passed another dodge I've lived inside and out of an engine bay since I could turn a wrench. I'm also in IT and I actually got the car to exhibit the conditions while decelerating down an off ramp form 65 to a 25 mile an hour turn Engine stall (confirmed with scanner at the dealer that it thought it has rolled over) computer replaced. I was contacted by a law firm that is doing lemon law on I think 2010-2014 but it would have taken 18 months or more SO... I traded it and learned my lesson.

Sometimes the dome lights never act up when parked but most times they do. When driving, the door ajar dashboard light (along with the dome lights) randomly turns off and on which also makes the doors lock and unlock if driving faster than 15 MPH. I am sending the CTM in to G7 Computers soon. They will fix the module for $275. I will have a video on my channel soon with this story.

I have two friends with V6 Dodge Chargers, both 10 years old with more than 120k miles, both have been bullet proof outside of suspension parts, no break-downs or power-train issues. Obviously Chryslers can be prone to reliability issues, but it'd be a lie to say they don't make ANY solid vehicles.

[@camrivera5735]

I have a V6 2007 Charger with 215k miles for my daily. No issues, I'm the second owner. I agree. I also own a 2012 Durango with 150k miles, no issues. 🤔

Yea the 11-13 ones do. They were slow af, the. 14+ up ones are faster because they don’t have a crappy transmission. They aren’t super fast but they are fast enough to get on the highway.

@Richi RIch The Durango doesn't have a single Fiat part in it believe it or not since it hasn't been refreshed since 2011. Dodge's are fine, just steer clear from any car they have that has been updated in the past year or 2 and they will last up to 150k.

I used to own an old 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport. Had issues where it just wouldn't start. A mechanic told me this vehicle had an issue with solder points on its circuit board under the dash. He said I had two options. The first was spend a lot of money and have the dash pulled and have circuit board resoldered. Second was just beat my fist on the dash to jostle the circuit board and then try starting the vehicle. The latter worked quite well and was a whole lot cheaper!

You are absolutely right. As a matter of fact and by coincidence my son asked me the day before yesterday if I could accompany him to San Antonio Texas to check out a 2012 Dodge Durango citadel that was for sale at a Toyota dealership. When we arrived at the dealership they informed us that the vehicle was at the dodge dealer for a recall 30 minutes later they informed us that the recall was for the air bags and that there was no resolution to the problem and that they couldn't sell it to the public like that, it had to go to auction. Since we traveled 160 miles and to not have it be a waste of time we searched the internet and found three others. They were R/Ts with the 5.7 hemi. To make a long story short all three were giant POS's. The main problems were with engine control issues. Mostly with the (multiple displacement system) which cuts the engine From 8 to 4 cylinders for fuel economy.

[@chuckstrong]

All I drive is a mopar. Each minivan, stratus, or cirrus which has been a total of 8 has all lasted 200,00-around 239,000 with very little issues.
