What owners wrote
Electrical short in dash on passenger side leading to fire and a complete loss of vehicle. Vehicle was in motion when smoke was noted in the cabin. Within 40 seconds car was pulled off the road and 911 called. Vehicle loss was on 7-15-2019.
Complete and sudden loss of both headlights when driving at night. Dealer, in discussion with fca hq, suggests cause is related to front turn signal electronics associated with a single front turn indicator, which otherwise functions normally. At this time dodge has no replacement parts available and the car is deemed unsafe to drive by the dealership. Owner has contacted fca to make them aware of total unwarned headlight loss - which is intermittant - as a safety issue.
