DODGE Complaints

Was backing our of a parking spot when the driver's airbag went off. I was looking to the back right as I was slowly turning the wheel clockwise when the airbag triggered. At such low speeds I was able to safely hit the brake and park the vehicle. As a result my left hand was minorly injured, while my front passenger only reported his ears ringing. My vehicle never made any contact with another vehicle or object. The Publix parking lot is a flat, paved surface. I took pictures all around and of my car soon after. I did have the airbags replaced because of the Takata recall some time ago (2017/2018 i think). If the vehicle was operated at a higher speed and the airbag went off, this would certainly cause an accident. I did inspect the vehicle afterwards and performed an EDR download. The CDR report is attached, however it reports that it is "Not retrievable by CDR Tool". There was a check engine light on at the time, I believe it was for code P0420. There may have been a low tire pressure light as well. Alignment was recently performed (~1 month ago) by a Tires Plus.

Cylinder misfire. Cylinder leak. Engine damage. Dodge issued Service Bulletin TSB-09-002-14 for model years 2011-2013 for vehicles with the same 3.6L engine and same issue. TSB provided warranty extension for covered models up to model year 2013. My 2018 model year has the same defective engine type and Dodge refuses to repair because the TSB, which predates the manufacturers date for my vehicle, doesn't cover my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately. The vehicle proceeded forward while making a clunking sound before coming to a stop. The ABS failed to respond as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the brake booster was contaminated with oil. The contact was informed that the brake booster vacuum line and pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

Wireless ignition module fails and will stall out the engine. This can happen at speed or stopped. Wireless ignition module will intermittently fail and cause a loss of power at speed causing no power steering or power brakes

evap purge valve replaced still having issues. Also, today out of no where my vehicle started to slip when it was shifting gears, the engine is making a weird sound and slow when trying to give gas.

Electrical system keeps failing. Ecm emitts erroneous commands and changing it doesn’t solve the problem. Dealer won’t work on it and Chrysler doesn’t know. Research says that this is happening by the thousands.

My 2018 dodge journey shutdown when driving. There is recalls for this but not for my dodge journey. This is unsafe. The manufacturer should pay for it to be fixed. I have read so many store on all makes of dodge journeys they all have same problem but only certain ones are being recalled.

I was sitting in the house and heard a loud boom, looked outside and my dodge journey was on fire. I called 911 to get to the fire department, and went outside with the fire ext. and the fire was on the left rear of the truck. I put the fire out on the outside but it was burning on the in side and could not get the doors open. The Bardstown KY fire department arrived and put the fire out. The fire department took pictures and are making a report. There is no reason this truck caught on fire. The wires were burnt on the tail light on the left rear and the inside of the truck. My insurance has pictures also Bardstown ky fire department

MOTOR CRANKS BUT DOES NOT TURN OVER. TRY MULTIPLE TIMES FINALLY IT WILL START. JUMPED THE FUEL PUMP FUSE IN TIPM TO EMPTY SLOT AND IT STARTS NORMAL 50% OF THE TIME. READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM AND HISTORY OF RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT THIS MODEL. UNACCEPTABLE. SLEW OF OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE: RADIO CHANGING STATIONS AND SAVING CURRENT STATION TO MULTIPLE LOCATIONS WITHOUT TOUCHING SCREEN, POWER WINDOW SWITCHES STOP WORKING UNLESS UNPLUGGED THEN RECONNECTED FIRST, HEAD/TAIL/BACK-UP LIGHTS GOING OUT THEN BACK ON

The passenger side door actuator, which is responsible for unlocking and locking the door, has failed on my van. The door remains in the unlocked position and will not close. The previous poses a risk to the safety of my family since the lock will not engage. The problem with the actuator is that it does not allow the automatic locks to engage, which Dodge has installed to prevent carjackings. This issue arose approximately two months ago, and after searching online, I have noticed that this is a common failure on Dodge Grand Caravan models from the 2010s to their last year of production. My van is a 2019 model; the door actuator failed shortly after the warranty expired. The local Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT Dealership quoted me a minimum of $1200 to fix the problem. In the past, they issued a warranty extension from 3 years or 36,000 miles to 15 years / 150,000 miles for failed actuators; they limited it to 2015-2017 models. The warranty bulletin is posted on the NHTSA website; it is dated November 10, 2021 Hopefully, you can help. My issue with the unlocked position is bad; there are others whose doors remain in the locked position, posing a serious risk, especially when people find themselves in accidents in those Dodge Grand Caravans with failed actuators.
