Driver's side headlight stopped working and the bulb is still good. Called the dealership and apparently this is a common problem they know that they r trying to charge 1200 dollors to fix. They should have to fix the headlights because it's the manufacturers fault that they don't work correctly. Can't drive this car anymore cause you can't see to drive at night. Because the headlights don't work and it's not because of the bulbs. It's the manufacturers installation that was done wrong..

I'VE HAD THE ARM BAR AND BALL JOINT REPLACED TWICE IN A YEAR'S TIME, WHICH CAUSES A GRINDING NOISE. I'VE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED THREE TIMES ALONG WITH RATTLE CLIPS, IN THE LAST YEAR, WITH NO PREVAIL IN CHANGING THE NOISE NOR HIGH SPEED-BRAKING OSCILLATING. A CALIPER HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED. WHILE SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS, THE CAR UNPREDICTABLY STALLS-- I'VE TRIED TO REPRODUCE THE SETTING TO HAVE THE ISSUE HAPPEN WHEN A TECHNICIAN TESTS IT, BUT IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN UNPREDICTABLY. THE CAR HAS LEAKED FROM SOME ENTRY POINT TO CAUSE THE FLOOR BOARDS TO BE WET, AND IN THE LAST YEAR, THE SUN ROOF SEEMS TO BE LEAKING AS I HAVE WATER POURING ONTO ME FROM THE FRONT DOME LIGHTT. THE WATER IS CAUSING MOLD, WHICH IS NOT BENEFICIAL TO THE FAMILY I DRIVE WITH. BASED ON THE NHTSA SITE AND THE THOUSANDS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS, THESE ARE PRETTY WILDLY KNOWN ISSUES BY DODGE, DESPITE THE LACK OF COMPLAINTS ON THESE SITES.

Noticed the vehicle was making creaking and grinding sounds from the rear suspension. This forcing the car to struggle to reverse. Noticed a large portion of the rear suspension/subframe was rusted and was cracking.

I was just at the dealer mechanic for an oil change and asked about a slight pull to one side when stopping. after doing the oil change he cam back with a list of things the most significant of which was a that the front sub-frame was rotted out, as well as the rear bumper metal under the plastic cover. They gave me an estimate for the repairs exceeding $7000. Then I came home an researched this problem and find its common on these calibers from 2007-2012 and is a known problem!? but no recall was ever issued! There was a "Customer Satisfaction Notification X69" Which I never received. I have also had the vehicle into the dealer other times recently and was never informed of this issue which couldn't have possibly happened over night.
