Tires always low. I have replaced all my tires and some more then once. I tried avoiding drain because cover was missing and hit a bump car bounced out of control and hit uncovered drain anyway. Had to file insurance claim had almost $3,000 in damages. I hate my car.
I was driving down the road, at night, which had a speed limit marked at 25 miles per hour. There were a couple of potholes that I noticed so I decreased my speed and was going between 15 and 20 miles per hour trying to avoid any that I saw. I ended up hitting one which was unavoidable, and hard to see since the incident occurred at night; I was going approx. 20 miles per hour (5 under the recommended speed). When the car hit the pothole the front passenger tire popped, the dealership said the sidewall had been blown out. About a month later the same tire had a sidewall blowout again after hitting a pothole, once again at night time while going 35 miles per hour on a road that was marked 35 miles per hour, the rim was also damaged in this incident. Another incident recently happened earlier in June 2015 where I was merging into traffic and driving approx. …

I have had issues since the day I bought the car. I have 26,000 miles and am on my third set of tires. The dealer tells me that they do not feel anything is wrong yet the tires keep wearing out and one recently had a bulge, I complained of a whirling sound and they told me it was the tires, I replaced the tires and it is still there. I keep taking the car in and it is one excuse after another. I report the issues to Dodge and they tell me to go to the dealer. A mechanic at the dealer told me that the car runs like a tractor trailer, it is idling at 2,000 RPM in park when it should be 900 or less and it sounds like there is an issue in the rear end and engine mount issues. I'm afraid the car will fall apart while I'm driving it. I need someone to help me get Dodge to figure out what the issues are. …
The "parking light out" warning keeps coming on. I took the vehicle to the dealership three different times and each time was told it was fixed. The "fix" lasted for about a week and then the warning message would return. The warning showed up again today after about a month of being off. Also, all the tires have extreme pressure loss. It will go from 42 psi down to 10 psi over night with out any noticeable damage. After inspection there was no apparent holes or damages to any part of the tire. The dealership has replaces the tires multiple times and the problem continues. Partial pressure loss, between 4 and 10 psi occurs during normal driving range. However, a significant loss, between 20 to 30+ psi, is well the vehicle is in parked state over a period of rest usually around 6 to 8 hours. Multiple of events noted between apr 2015 and nov 2016.
