DODGE Complaints

WINDSHIELD - VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AND WINDSHIELD JUST CRACKED. 12" LONG, EXTENDS FROM DRIVER SIDE PILLAR INWARD. DRIVER LINE OF SIGHT. APPEARS TO BE A STRESS FRACTURE, POSSIBLE IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR DEFECT IN THE GLASS.

My headlights become unseeable at times, its difficult to see the road. My cruise control has got stuck and at one point accelerated on its own, and my 3rd row seats have no seat belt buckles. No one has confirmed my vehicle. There has been some recalls.

Engine showing P0302 code for cylinder misfire which by a licensed mechanic has been traced back to an original manufacturers defect in the cylinder and rockers. In doing research into this issue, I found hundreds of other owners of this and similar model year dodge grand caravans having the same issue with incredibly expensive fixes. The issue can cause the vehicle to abruptly lose engine power, a major safety issue. The mechanics are indicating that the repair is over $5,000 and that it is a well known issue with these vehicles. The problem began when the vehicle only had around 60,000 miles.

The active headrest deployed while sitting in the car hitting my wife's head. It is damaged and cannot be reset.

Went to the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership in Lawrenceburg, IN last year and was told that spoiler failed a recall inspection and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, spoilers were on back order and would take several months to get in. A month or so later, my local body shop took my Dodge Durango to the Dodge dealership in Batesville, IN for repairs after someone ran into my vehicle while it was parked in a parking lot. The Batesville dealership did another inspection for the spoiler recall and cleared the inspection stating that the spoiler passed inspection. So now I have one dealership (Lawrenceburg, IN) saying that there is a "gap" and that the spoiler in fact needs replaced, but that they can't fix it because they will not be reimbursed by Chrysler since the recall for my Durango has been "cleared" by the Batesville, IN Dodge dealership. After contacting the second dealership, they still claim that the spoiler is fine and refuse to fix it either. I admit, I don't know what I am looking for, but I also see a gap between the spoiler and where it is attached to the vehicle. It also seems to be loose. So, my question is, what exactly is the spoiler recall on 2021 Dodge Durango's? Should I be concerned that it's not getting fixed? Most importantly, who will be responsible if this thing comes off and injurers someone driving behind me?

While backing into my driveway garage I heard a loud bang and my car's transmission lost its linkage to the drive shaft. The car rolled forward regardless of shifting the car in park, reverse, neutral, drive, etc. I had to stop the car with my brakes and then park the car with my emergency brake enabled to stop the car from rolling on its own. A driver could easily be killed by not reacting right to the car when it loses its driving shaft. The driver yoke looks like it could be part of the problem. The car is currently at the transmission repair shop for repair and a safety investigation.

Red battery symbol lit up on the dashboard Noticed electrical burning smell. Stopped and turned car off. Checked around and under hood. Battery symbol went off so I drove short distance back home. Noticed loud whining noise, looked like the start of an electrical fire inside alternator and lots of smoke. Quickly turned car off. My alternator part number matches alternators that are part of a T36 recall involving defective alternators, but for some reason my VIN is not included in the “VIN range” even though my year make and model is. It is the same defective part, which failed, and could cause damage to other parts. The alternator and whatever parts that were damaged should be covered under the recall. This part almost caused my car to catch on fire. Luckily I was home. But what if I was on the road in traffic with my kids in the car.

Loud noise coming from where the center console should be. I thought it could be something wrapped around the drive shaft but instead the drive shaft carrier bearing needs replaced. You can't get a shop to buy just the part they have to replace the entire piece!
