CAR WAS HESITATING WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. ONCE IN A WHILE THE CAR WOULD JERK BACK OR FORWARD. WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER. THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MPH. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER WHERE HE CHECKED THE LIGHT CODE AND CAME BACK AS TRANSMISSION SENSOR ISSUE. DEALER RESET THE CODE AND I WAS OK FOR A WEEK. CODE CAME BACK ON WHILE DRIVING. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK THE CODE CAME BACK AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY GAVE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER TO LOOK AT AND THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS A BAD VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE CAR FOR A MONTH NOW AS THEY WAIT FOR THE BACK ORDERED PART. ALL TIMES THE LIGHT CAME ON I WAS ON A STREET OR ROUTE DOING UNDER 50 WHILE DRIVING FORWARD

HAD VEHICLE SERVICED FOR A COOLING FAN RELAY AFTER VEHICLE DISPLAYED A P0481 TROUBLE CODE. DEALER SERVICED AND REPLACED FAN RELAY. VEHICLE OVERHEATED APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES LATER DUE TO A DEFECTIVE COOLING FAN. THE FAN MELTED AND SMOKED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE'S TEMPERATURE TO RISE RAPIDLY. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THAT 3,000 VEHICLES ARE CURRENTLY WAITING TO BE SERVICED WITH THIS PARTICULAR PART DUE TO IT'S HIGH RATE OF FAILURE. ESTIMATED REPAIR TIME OF 2 MONTHS. STILL WAITING FOR PART TO GET DELIVERED. THE PRESENCE OF SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD AND UNUSUALLY HIGH DEMAND FOR REPAIR INDICATES TO ME THAT CLEARLY THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
