DODGE Complaints

Installed transfer fuel tank in back of my pickup truck, two weeks ago after putting 45 gals of fuel in tank, next morning tank was empty. Removed tank and found the bottom of tank has many holes from defective aluminum plate which entire tank is made from. Contacted manufacture ( RDS Manufacturing, 300 Industrial Park Drive, Perry, FL ). Was informed that water in contact with bottom probably caused the problem, my thought is when the sheet of aluminum was made there was contamination in the process therefor causing porosity in the sheeting. There are thousands of these tanks out there on the road and this can't be the only one with this problem, fuel leak of this magnitude is very dangerous on our highways.

The car shut off while in drive. I was at a stop sign behind another car. They pulled away, I went to pull up and the car shut off. It started back up after being turned off and restarted.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the engine seized. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who replaced the engine. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

One seatbelt failed completely, refused to retract. The other one is failing. The first is in the process of getting replaced and the second is inevitably going to fail. Somehow this vehicle is not covered under the extended protection regarding the seatbelt for the 2013-2015 Dodge Durangos and Jeep Cherokees that had this problem. The dealers will not provide assistance and this a safety issue for me and my family.

While driving the car in the 3rd day of having it, the reverse safety release pin malfunctions and they car would slip into reverse while trying to down shift to stop. Also it would go into reverse instead of first while trying to go from a stop. I have the car back to carmax and notified them.

The liftgate just stops opening. No emergency bypass will release it. It raises risk on entrapment. The repair shops are unsure why it is happening.

Fuel pump went out and in order for me to replace the fuel pump you have drop the tank. I could not get the intake hose off or the smaller fuel line along side it off. And there very little room to work with to get it off. And I have purchased the vehicle a little over a year ago and was not told about any recalls on this vehicle
