DODGE Complaints

Hi. The heater turn on and off without me touching the button to turn it on this problem is very annoying I almost had a accident due to this annoying problem. I drive a 2011 dodge grand caravan crew. This problem started 2 months believe me is very annoying problem. Need to recall this problem fix it asap. Thanks.

On Feb. 20, 2023 my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 was worked to have a repair for the AirBag Recall. I spoke with someone at JT's Dodge to set up the appointment PRIOR to 2-20-23 and was NEVER verbally informed that there was a posed risk of my dash being cracked and so I set up the appointment. I tried to update my information BUT the young lady on the other end REFUSED to update it stating I've been there before in the past. MY TWO listed phone numbers are correct (over 10 years) and my address reflected was not updated to my new home address. On the day of Feb. 20, 2023 I sent my son-in-law to take my truck to have the recalled air bag repaired, which he did. He reports being told in a non urgent, very vague manner that there's a possibility of the dash cracking and per the Service Manager "it doesn't happen very often but we have to tell you". My son-in-law signed the paperwork to have the airbag repaired. I was gravely ill and unable to take it myself or I would have. He signed the form; the service manager took photos showing there was NOT any cracks prior to the work being done and other photos showing a crack after the work had been done. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED at either working phone number listed on file. When I finally reached someone several days later they showed no concern. I now have an 8.5 inch crack in my dash putting myself and passengers at SAFTY RISK. POTENTIAL RISKS: My airbag is NOT properly pressurized, a delay with or the airbag not deploying at all if involved in a MVC/MVA, possibility of the airbag deploying WITHOUT being involved in a MVC/MVA and over time the crack could become larger/longer allowing dirt particles to get into the crack causing electrical problems or a malfunctioning airbag sensor. WHICH places myself and passengers in great danger at any moment. Apparently this is a known (uncared about) issue as reported by Dodge who has DISCONTINUED the dash saying it is "OBSOLETE", refusing to offer repairs or replacement, resolution.

The engine stops at any time. It may restart quickly or it may take a couple of hours to start. i had my fuel pump relay replaced, but it continues to stop when ever it wants. the fuel pump stops and then i run out of gas. I have read online of a problem with the TIPM fuel relay going bad. there was a recall in the jeep grand Cherokee and other jeeps, for this same exact occurrence. so, why not for the dodge grand caravan van? i called dodge in LaPorte IN, with this problem and was told that if the TIPM is bad, i will have to pay for it being replaced. If this is a nationwide problem, it needs to be addressed, i was driving thru the city and country when it quits. very little control of brakes and steering. So what is the next step?

The car runs perfect but all the sudden started dying while in reverse then a lightning bolt with lines on each side was flashing and the car died. So we changed the spark plugs and did a full service and it ran fine then started doing the same thing where it’s getting no power and won’t go at all. Let it sit for a minute then hen will drive fine for a little bit and start acting like it’s not getting any power i don’t understand what’s going on with it

The contact owns a 2019 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that water entered the taillight assemblies, causing the taillights to become inoperable. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

My 2018 Dodge Durango leaked water into the taillight assembly. I initially removed the bottom taillight screw located inside the liftgate so water would drain. Later I had to remove the light itself and run a bead of silicone caulking along the top edge where the water leaked into the light assembly. Generation 3 Dodge Durangos are notorious for leaking water into the "race track" shaped taillight which leads to taillight failures. It's the biggest complaint on my Facebook Durango groups, with almost daily postings. Once water collects inside the assembly, it leads to taillight partial or total failure.
