Since 07/2017 I have been having problems with the anti -theft-code. Dealership wants me to pay for a code update. No~ I feel this is a recall problem. The service center has done the recalls it required and right after these recalls I have this problem where I have to boost the car in order to turn it on. Everyday now. I work at night therefore its unsafe for a single woman to be stranded 5 days a week. Electrical system · reported at 63,466 miles

Upon looking up the issue from other Dodge owners online reporting the same problem.The radio amplifier fuse #27 located in the trunk of the vehicle has completely burnt out, possible fire hazard. It is unsafe to replace fuse back in the same location the housing for the fuse is melted and burned. Electrical system · reported at 120,000 miles
