MOPAR P5007069 Complaints

I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ON CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVANS. I WAS TOLD TODAY, 3/4/11 THAT I NEED ALL NEW BRAKES (ROTORS AND PADS ON MY 2009 TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN.) THE VEHICLE HAS 14,500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND ON EDMUNDS.COM THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND ITS BRAKE SYSTEM. I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE PADS AND ROTORS BECAUSE I HAVE 5 KIDS AND THEIR SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE COST . PLEASE TAKE THIS COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY. THANKYOU. *TR

I BROUGHT MY 2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR AN INSPECTION. FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND AN EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED IN ORDER FOR IT TO PASS INSPECTION. BEFORE THE REPAIRS WERE DONE I WAS GETTING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES TO THE GALLON. THIS ALSO SHOWED UP ON THE INTERIOR ELECTRONIC INFORMATION CENTER. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE DONE, MY INTERIOR ELECTRONIC INFO CENTER INDICATED I WAS GETTING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES TO THE GALLON. I CONFIRMED THIS BY THE "OLD FASHION WAY" OF FILLING THE TANK AND DRIVING THEN FILLING IT AGAIN AND DIVIDING THE MILES BY THE NUMBER OF GALLONS. THIS CONFIRMED THAT I WAS GETTING APROX 10 MILES PER GALLON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TO THIS DATE HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE. I'M ALSO CONTINUING TO KEEP TRACK OF THE MILEAGE AND AMOUNT OF FUEL I'M USING. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH MY WIFE'S DODGE JOURNEY. THE WEB SITE, WWW.FUELECONOMY.GOV SHOWS THAT I SHOULD BE GETTING APROX 20 MILES PER GALLON EVEN WITH THE NEW 10% ALCOHOL ADDITION AND THESE WERE THE APROX EPA STANDARDS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD. I AM CONTINUING MY RESEARCH IN THIS MATTER TO BRING IT TO MY SATISFACTION. *TR

I WISH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY'S CONSTANT BRAKE PROBLEMS. I HAVE BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES FULLY REPLACED AT 30,000 MILE ONLY TO FAIL INSPECTION LESS THAN 12,000 MILES LATER THAT THE PADS AS WELL AS THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE ALTHOUGH IT WAS UNDER 12,000 MILES(THE WARRANTY) I WAS 39 DAYS OVER 12 MONTHS. MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN MULTIPLE COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM RESULTING IS A PRORATED AUTHORIZED REIMBURSEMENT FROM CHRYSLER BACK IN JULY. THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN AFTER THE "ONE TIME REIMBURSEMENT" AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER 400 FOR THE REPAIR OR THEY WILL NOT PASS THE INSPECTION. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND THE 1000'S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TOWN AND COUNTRY 2008 FOR COSTLY CHEAP FACTORY AND REPLACEMENT BRAKES. A RECALL IS A MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

2003 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. I REPLACED THE OEM SET WITH A NEW AFTERMARKET SET. I ALSO REPLACED THE AFTERMARKET SET WITH ANOTHER SET OF AFTERMARKET ROTORS. *TR

SINCE PURCHASE OF 2000 (NEW) DODGE DURANGO 5.9L 4 WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES AT GREAT AMOUNTS OF COST. I RARELY USE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND TAKE CARE OF EACH REQUIRED SERVICE. ON THE INTERNET I NOTICE SEVERAL SIMILAR/SAME COMPLAINTS. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT STUCK ON AND THE TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN 4 WHEEL WITH NO INDICATION OF GOING INTO 2 WHEEL/NEUTRAL OR OTHER WISE. *TR

PCM CHIP IN 2005 PT CRUISER CONVERTIBLE IDENTIFIED BY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS BEING THE PROBLEM. PCM CAUSES MYRIAD OF ELECTRICAL & TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH CHRYSLER WON'T ADMIT TO. WHEN ANY ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER ALARM INDICATOR GOES ON IN VEHICLE AND I BRING IT TO CHRYSLER-THEY SIMPLY SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. THEN THE TROUBLES START. THE PCM CAUSES STALLING AT A RED LIGHT OR AT LOW SPEEDS--GOT REAR ENDED TWICE, VEHICLE NOT TURNING OVER/WON'T START, DRAINS BATTERIES (REPLACED IT 3 TIMES),(CAR WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START) POWER STEERING MECHANISM LEAKS (REPLACED TWICE) CAUSES ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ON DASHBOARD, RADIO & CD PLAYER WONT WORK (CD IS STUCK IN PLAYER), CAUSES CAR LOCK/ALARM SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION (REPLACED TWICE) CAR LOCK/SYSTEM HAS LOCKED ME OUT OF MY CAR AND FOG LIGHTS/HEAD LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF WHICH THEN DRAINS BATTERY. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP "SUPPOSEDLY" REPLACED THIS PCM CHIP 1.5 YRS AGO AND THE REPAIR TOOK A MONTH AND A HALF WHILE I WAITED WITHOUT A LOANER CAR EVEN THOUGH MY CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY ALLOWED ME TO HAVE ONE! WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK I NOTICED THAT THE FOG LIGHT/HEADLIGHT INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON AND WENT BACK TO DEALER TO TELL HIM IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN AND HE INDICATED THAT I NOT EVER RETURN TO HIS DEALERSHIP. NOW 1.5 YEARS LATER, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE AND IT'S THE PCM CHIP CAUSING THEM. I HAVE LOST MY JOB FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK WHILE THEY 'FIXED' MY CAR FOR A MONTH, LOST THOUSAND OF $$$ REPAIRING THIS VEHICLE, MY WARRANTY IS NOW EXPIRED, AM STILL FINANCING VEHICLE, BUT CAR WON'T START AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING, ETC. THE CAR ISN'T WORTH 3K AND THE REPAIRS ARE IN THE THOUSANDS TO FIX ALL THE ISSUES. *TR CONSUMER WANTS AN UPDATE ON COMPLAINT. 1/27/10 *NJ UPDATED 02/01/10*JB

POWER WINDOW REGULATORS...BREAK AND WINDOWS FALL . 2004 JEEP LIBERTY.. TOMORROW WILL BE 5 TIMES TO HAVE NEW WINDOW REGULATORS. MINE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THERE IS SUCH A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER HAS A BACK-ORDER ON THE REGULATORS. NOW MY CHRYSLER DEALER JUST CHARGES $100 TO REPAIR. HAD ONE FAIL LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK THE OTHER SIDE FAILED. *TR

I OWN A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR 4 OR 5 TIMES. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE WINDOW JUST FALLS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS SHOCKING AND CAN CAUSE A WRECK. THE WINDOW FALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. YOU MUST REPAIR IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT SECURE- THEFT, RAIN ETC. IF THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN THE THUMP THUMP OF THE REAR TIRES IS EXCRUTIATING TO YOUR EARS. EACH REPAIR COST $350. TO $500. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIPS ARE FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. THEY ADMIT THAT THIS IS A BAD DESIGN (A PLASTIC CLIP HOLDS YOUR WINDOW UP) THE PART IS ONLY WARRANTED FOR 12 MONTHS. ON THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE ALONE THERE WERE 93 COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING. MOST OWNERS ARE JUST LIKE ME AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR MULTIPLE TIMES. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL ANY VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS REGULATOR. NO OTHER PARTS ARE AVAILABLE EXCEPT FOR MOPAR AND THE PART HAS COST ME $137. TO $170. JUST FOR THE PART- NO LABOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW BOTH REAR WINDOWS BROKE WITHIN TWO DAYS. I REPAIR AND NEXT YEAR THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN. I AND ANY OTHER JEEP OWNER IS KEEPING CHRYSLER AND MOPAR IN BUSINESS BY THESE REPAIRS. *TR

MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH IS COMPLETELY CRACKED AND HAS SEVERAL HOLES IN IT WHERE THE PLASTIC HAS CAVED IN. I AM CONCERNED THE HOLES AND CONTINUED CRACKING WILL CAUSE EXPOSED WIRES TO BE BURNT OR SEVERED, WHICH COULD ENDANGER THE LIVES OF THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, THE MOTOR MOUNTS SEEM TO BE SUBSTANDARD AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT AT A HIGHER INTERVAL THAN NORMAL. WHILE THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A HUGE ISSUE INITIALLY, A FAILED MOTOR MOUNT IS A REASON TO REJECT A VEHICLE INSPECTION IN THE STATE OF VA. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR USED 2 YEARS AGO, I NEEDED TO REPLACE A FAILED MOTOR MOUNT, NOW, 2 YEARS LATER AND WITH THE CAR HAVING LESS THAN 65,000 MILES I AM HAVING TO REPLACE A MOTOR MOUNT AGAIN. THE REAL ISSUE NOW SEEMS TO BE THAT CHRYSLER AS A WHOLE IS OUT OF STOCK AS THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER IN EFFECT AT THE MOMENT. THE FACT THAT THIS PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER MAKES ME FEEL AS IF THEY ARE BEING REPLACED BY MANY OTHER PACIFICA OWNERS. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS FAIL ON THE PACIFICA APPROXIMATELY EVERY 30,000 MILES. *TR
