DODGE Complaints

Transmission pump has failed at only 98,000 miles. I was stopped at a stop light and the vehicle would no longer move. I restarted it, and it allowed me to continue driving, but once I stopped again at a stop light it wouldn’t move. This endangers me and the cars around me since the vehicle doesn’t move out of the road. We had the vehicle towed and the mechanic confirmed that it was the transmission pump. There may have been one warning sign weeks ago, but I thought it was due to water in the gas line which happens often. The warning signs were not significant to what happened with the car not moving.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Avenger. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V640000 (Seats, Air Bags). The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked at the residence, the contact entered the vehicle and observed that the headrest was uneven. The contact inspected the headrest from the rear of the vehicle where she observed that the headrest had separated but was still attached to the middle of the headrest. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 117,206.

This is a HUGE SAFETY issue!!!!!! The engine randomly shuts off, which also causes the brakes to stop working and to have no power steering. Anything connected to the battery is fine (lights, radio, dashboard, etc.). myself, any passenger, and those around me are put at risk by the car shutting off in the middle of the road. Someone could hit me because I am not moving, or I am trying to get out of the way. or I might end up hitting someone else because the brakes don't work. this is a huge risk to life and limb. Noone other than myself has tried to see what is going on with my car, specifically. i have already put out a lot of money on parts that research says it COULD be. other people have had the same complaint about their Dodge vehicles. they have even taken them to many repair shops, with no one finding a real answer as to why this is happening. i would just like a car the safe to drive with my kids in it. as it is i fear for their safety if they were to ride in it. they are no warning lights or messages. I fear for my safety, the safety of my children, and the safety of others on the road around me. This car should really not be on the road without a definite answer to the problem.

The passenger head restraint deployed while driving on a smooth road at about 30 mph. No crash or unusual road conditions.

This is an issue with Chassis rigidity and a manufacturing defect. Causing windshield breakage due to torsional forces, chassis load and unload.  Here's my case: 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T - 5.7 / 6 speed manual. This car was purchased new [XXX], it's now broken two OEM Mopar windshields. First occurrence was [XXX] at 2,321 miles. This was warrantied by Dodge and replaced with a new Mopar windshield, [XXX]. Second occurrence was [XXX] at 6,446 miles. At this point in time, my car remains unfixed, undrivable, and has been undrivable since [XXX]. The selling Dealer, Airport Jeep in Platte City, Missouri, has been "working" with a local frame shop to obtain an appointment for a laser frame check. At this point, we've been without the usability of a car, yet still paying for it, for over 30 days. Please see attached images regarding my case, alone. With that being said, I'm also attaching owner commentary and images of other 2023 Challengers where this has occurred as well. The above, being said. This is clearly a chassis build / bonding issue at time of manufacturing, allowing these vehicles to flex and cause chassis popping / noises and windshield breakage. Youtube video references: [XXX] [XXX] The last 4 photos uploaded are from other various 2023 challangers all low miles from separate other owners. Vin numbers unknown.

Sliding automatic door makes loud buzzing noise when opening. Apparently this is a known problem and Dodge has done nothing about it. After doing some research it seems everyone that has this model has this issue after a few years. It will eventually be a safety issue when the door stops working and we can’t get out in an emergency. Do the right thing and make this a recall. It’s a known issue.

Both sliding door lock actuators buzzed and stopped functioning properly, causing them to need to be replaced. This has been difficult to have the doors close and get the kids in and out. Tpms failing, pressures correct on newer tires light keeps coming on.
