## Narrative
The vehicle fails to start reliably.  I have made all the necessary repairs in an attempt to have the car to start reliably.  I have replaced items that the average owner would think are normal wear-and-tear items around the starting system. I have also replaced items that the average owner would not think would wear out and need replacing.  All of this work was done out of pocket. A warranty or recall covered none of the work.  Yet the car still does not start reliably.  I believe this is a safety issue because it could lead to the vehicle losing power on the road and leaving occupants stranded.    This is not a normal issue.  This must be a manufacturer's issue.  Producing and selling a vehicle that has known electrical and fueling problems.    Also, Dodge, the manufacture clames the ZF 850RE-based 8-speed automatic has fluid for the life of the vehicle.  Dodge claims that the transmission fluid in this transmission does not need to be changed and/or serviced.   More information about this ZF 850RE-based 8-speed automatic transmission claim by Dodge would be helpful.
