   THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. IT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. THIS CANCELS THE CRUISE CONTROL OPTION ALSO.

   OVER 30 TIMES IN THE FIRST 5,000 MILES OF DRIVING, THE LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME THE TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED OK. TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS A BAD TIRE SENSOR AND HE REPLACED IT. SINCE THEN INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT GO ON EVEN WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW. COULD THIS BE RELATED TO THE DOCUMENTED ELECTRICAL ISSUE? I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE.

   2016 WINNEBAGO TRAVATO DIESEL ON A RAM PROMASTER CHASSIS. ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON MULTI-LANE HIGHWAYS, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. LUCKILY ON BOTH OCCASIONS I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD BEFORE BEING INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THE FIRST TIME THE MESSAGE THAT THE ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED SERVICING APPEARED. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLERR/DODGE DEALER THE ENGINE WOULD RESET ITSELF AND WHEN IT DID BRING THE VEHICLE IN. I WAS TOLD THE CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE AGAIN LOST ALL POWER WITH THE MESSAGE SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THIS TIME ALL WHEELS WERE LOCKED AND CAR WOULD NOT RESTART FOR HOURS. WHEN IT DID RESTART, THE MESSAGE CHANGED TO SERVICE ENGINE. TOWED TO A DEALER WHO COULD NOT DETERMINE REASON AND THREW UP HIS HANDS. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE 8/28/2015 AND TO DATE HAS SPENT OVER 2 MONTHS IN REPAIR SHOPS AND NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHEN OR IF IT CAN BE FIXED. THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE, BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. I WILL NOT PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MY LIFE OR ENDANGER OTHERS ON THE ROAD, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF THE RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF THIS DEFECT. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD.
