DODGE Complaints

Vehicle just won’t start sometimes. Changed battery , alternator, starter, ETC system. And nothing has helped. No rhyme or reason some days it starts perfectly fine multiple times .. other days I’ll go out and it just won’t start. I can go to my destination turn it off and it won’t turn back on.

Rear gasket on tail light assembly is faulty and causes water to leak in to rear running light and the light fails and doesn't work anymore. I'm requesting an investigation or recall on the rear assembly to have them fixed or replaced for safety and uniformity. The OEM part number is 68453659AA

My left rear tail light has a water intrusion issue. From calling the dealership they stated their likely solution would be to drill a weep hole in it (HA!). Reading online this is a massive issue, a recall needs to be issued on these vehicles as it is a known defect with safety a cost impacts.

Suden oil filter housing leak which lead to oil light eliminating within 8000 miles. Oil pools in engine crevice, hiding leak. Repair shop stated it’s a known Dodge issue seen monthly.

It's not only related to my particular car. I moved to the US two years ago and was surprised how INSAINLY DANGEROUS driver side mirrors all of the American cars have. There is always a HUGE blind spot. People keep saying that if I adjust my mirrors properly there will be no problem, but it is not true. I've been driving for more than 10 years and now, at least once a week, I find myself in a dangerous situation. The bad thing is - it's is impossible to find a convex mirror as a replacement here. I can't believe that researches showed that the flat mirror is safer than the convex one (is there any research btw)? What's a point of installing flat mirrors on a driver's side? I went to a web forum and found this page: [XXX] (apparently form the UK) posted 2 pictures on 03/06/2023 with American's standard mirror and the convex one. Look at the difference.

My LED lighting on the lift-gate started to spot out and had condensation in the light do to the seal not being properly sealed and letting water get into the light and burning out the LED bulbs. Now my whole running lift-gate LED is out and this is very harmful for myself and other drivers on the road do to possibly being rear ended at anytime. This problem is not covered under warranty. This is unacceptable for a LED lighting system allowing water in the system to burn out the LED lighting system. Every time it rains/snows, car wash water should not be getting into the light.

Airbag lights turns on and off and I think it's a manufacturer problem with the harness behind or under the seat. I read it's a common problem.

At 70,000 was told from dealership my transmission went out!!!! At 70,000 it should not have!!!! No warning lights prior nothing I was driving to work to get tickets for an event I left and when I turned on a busy street my van would not accelerate I was nervous and scared I had my kids in the car with me at the time. Finally it started to accelerate. Few short seconds later only to stop accelerating, it was like I was in neutral revving my engine I could not go. Luckily I could pull in a business and park til I could get it towed.
