I am having problems with body control module and this damaging all my vehicles sensors as the sensors are damaged the actual system which is the engine and the mechanical system is damaged and car won't start it stopped in the middle of the road and then after few trials I some how started it and then it stalls but this stalling is really dangerous because the bcm is sending wrong signals to the accelerator and it accelerates even I have eased the gas so if anything happens later or now I would blame dodge for…
My vehicle has had two recalls done on it. TCM repair and transmission cable bushing. I took it to get a diagnostic. My TCM needs to be replaced again & my transmission won't shift sometimes after my transmission bushing repair.
