The problems we are experiencing is the airbag indicator light keeps coming on and off dinging every time it comes on. The other issue we have experienced is the engine is in need of repair but the check engine light does not come on to let mechanics find the problem. However once every three months the light will come in but once vehicle is turned off the light goes off never to come back on until the next time a few months later. The check engine light issue has been going on for two years.

STARTED THE VEHICLE ONE MORNING AND DROVE UP TO A STOP SIGN. I WAS IN A CITY STREET MAKING A LEFT TURN. SAW CLEAR FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS OF ANY TRAFFIC.ACCELERATED AND THE BAS,ESP LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE WANTED TO STALL, LOST POWER, AND STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT. STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND ACCELERATED AGAIN TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE VEHICLE REPEATED THE STALLING AND HESITATED TO ACCELERATE, ONCE ABOVE 30 MPH ALL LIGHTS CONTINUED ON AND THE VEHICLE KEPT DRIVING ACCORDINGLY. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED UP AND DROVE FROM THAT DATE OF JAN.26,2021 THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING CONTINUES. I FIND THIS TO BE A SEVERE MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND A DANGER TO ME, MY FAMILY, AND THE PUBLIC.

ORIGINALLY HAD TAKEN CAR IN FOR RECALL. THE RECALL WAS FOR BOTH DOORS. THE DEALER HAD DELIVERED THE CAR AND TOLD ME I WOULD BE CONTACTED FOR REPAIR ON THE PASSENGER DOOR ONCE THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING I FINALLY CONTACTED THEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. I MADE THE APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I WAS SET TO DROP OFF THE VAN I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PUT IN AS COMPLETE IN THE DEALERS RECORDS BUT SHOWED PARTS NOT INSTALLED. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT DODGE AND LEFT THE VAN THERE OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE PHONE TO GET THE RUNAROUND WITH DODGE. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DIDN'T HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. MY FAMILY HAS USED THE VAN EVER SINCE. I HAVE ALWAYS PUT OFF REPAIRING IT BECAUSE IT WAS A RECALL THAT BROKE DOWN AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL VERBATIM AND IS A HAZARD FOR MULTIPLE REASONS AND I WOULD BLAME DODGE DIRECTLY IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH OUT THE LAST FEW YEAR
