DODGE Complaints

Vehicle lost power while driving. Wasn’t responding to gas Pedal. Moved to a parking lot. Ultimately had to tow to a repair shop. First I thought maybe a belt but it came down to transmission issue. Mechanic diagnosed that transmission pump failed. Cost to replace the pump is more than $3100. There is a recall for same issue for same model year but I was told by the OEM that my vehicle is not included in the recall. I saw hundred of similar stories online for this issue but surprised that recall was issue for only few vehicles while the issue might be much bigger! I am the first owner and have completed all the required maintenance on time. Disappointed with vehicle OEM for refusing goodwill warranty!

Water has collect in race strip light, since then I’ve been experiencing electrical problems with the car.

The contact's daughter owns a 2016 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while her daughter was taking out an item from the trunk, the rear liftgate inadvertently closed on her back. The contact stated that her daughter's back was badly injured. The contact stated that her daughter was taken to the hospital and was informed that she needed to see an orthopedic surgeon. The vehicle had not yet been taken to an independent mechanic or a local dealer for diagnosis or repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

The touch screen on the 2017 dodge challenger radio is separating, which controls all systems on the car!! System is changing settings on its own. This is very dangerous.

Gas tank straps causing fuel tank to drop from under truck. The Chrysler recall 18V160000 or U04 covers this problem but they tell me my VIN is not included in the recall.I live on the Outer Banks of NC and we at times have salt water standing on the side of the roads.and this is the same problem in this recall. I am Deputy Chief of the local fire department and we have 4 of the trucks and all have the same problem also. My truck has 150,000 miles on it and is well taken care of. This truck has a NC DOT inspection every year.

my car was towed away from my parking space and given to a dodge dealer, i coulndt figure out where it was, i finally found where it was , the guy who took it in was already doing repairs and investigating with out, knowing whose car is it, he goes and does a repair not being on what we talked about and does his repair, then he tells me i payy up 1,400 for the repairs he did, before he repaired it i asked him to check the fluids makes sure everything is good and ready so i wont be left in the road stranded, i come back 2 day later cause i take my car for a drive, for 15 mins and head to the same dealer cause oil pressure light and battery light and oil light was on and the person who serviced me saw this when i took it in, before i asked him to check if everything with fluids is up to date, when he first was repairing it and didnt know what was wrong with it, so then i meet him and he says well we cant repair it because we dont know what could it be and the car needs more driving for it to see whats wrong with it, and or you can try coming with warranty, then my car breaks down after i leave the shop test driving it for 15 mins cause he advised me to drive it or get warranty,, instead of checking it for inspection. then iam left stranded in the road cause of this situation. i take the car back to the same dealer for repair and they say its the battery and starter, and now they saying pay it in this amount of time or my car will be towed away,.all that waste of money in repairs and me coming back and back, for me to have to pick up my car at a tow yard, cause they didnt want to take it in when i had my 2nd visit they, now my car is sitting in my car, i am still financing it , for a car that doesnt drive. and when i call a local mechanic he says my engine is blown up. and its not the battery and starter..i was young and it felt like i was being robbed.

About 7 months ago the drivers side rear door would not open , after about 2 months I took my Van to Bryden's dealer in Beloit WI. The people in the repair area, said it would cost $800 or more to repair. I could not afford that. So the door still won't open, Family came to town and wanted me to drive them around, which I refused saying with the sliding door not working , that could be dangerous. Well today the passengers rear sliding door quit opening , so now anybody in the back would be in real danger if the Van got in an accident. I guess I will take the van back to the dealer and ask them to please fix it free of charge because of the danger it causes, I could use some help from you , to see that this van doors get repaired, thank you.Mike

I guess started with noticing oil being used at a faster pace then normal then a decent tick began along with AbS light which prevented cruise control from working. At this point We seemed Professional advice from a licensed Mechanic who then preformed a small job of dropping transmission pan to clean metal shavings out! And replacing tires and brake pads assured us routers were fine. He was concerned with the fact that the abs light continued to be on so we the paid to get wiring for abs redone (not sure what was called). After this the cruise control worked abs went off but we noticed the brake pads went quick! Then the insane knock out of nowhere began loud metal on metal had harmonic balancer pulley replaced didn’t do it any good. The. Was told cracked fly wheel was most likely the problem I continued to drive for about a month when the brake fluid light came on. I added fluid but every 3-4 days it came on again and of course brake pads again but this time the extremely loud knock went away and all was left was a quiet tick. That lasted couple months the out of no where wiring started shorting in dash and radio display. This lead to battery issues then out of no where motor is stuck in first gear and will not shift up but will shift between drive neutral and reverse. Idles extremely rough when in drive lights do not dim I had alternator checked. Now my family of six is with out a vehicle thank you for hearing my concerns

The battery and traction control lights went on. A smell like nail polish remover followed by white smoke came from under the hood. After pulling over, the hood was opened and white smoke came from the passenger side, not the drivers side where the batter is located. After cooling down for about 45 minutes, the car had now power. The fob, power locks, lights, everything was dead. Unknown cause, need to have the car towed for an estimate and cause.

This vehicle always fails to start in the colder weather. After a review of this condition. It has been found that the fuel pump relay does not send proper signal. This relay is a part of the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When it fails to operate, the vehicle will experience long crank times. With its ignition switch style, as soon as you turn the key, the vehicle will continue to crank UNLESS you manually turn the switch all the way back to the off position. This condition will cause the starter motor to overheat or burn up. Eventually the vehicle may start then die. Fuel delivery is too inconsistent when colder weather arises. You can't just replace a plug-in-style replacement fuel pump relay since it is a part of the whole TIPM. This vehicle has not yet died in traffic or on the highway thank God. There is never any CEL illumination or any stored fault codes. It started doing this the first winter I bought it. This is my second year and it's only just Fall and it is acting up again. This is a KNOWN issue among these TIPMs that are on more than just this vehicle but many other Dodge/Chryslers with this same TIPM. Someone needs to take accountability for a faulty product that needs redesigned before these issues continue to affect the consumers that trust in their product. I hope that this issue is addressed and resolved before others continue to complain about vehicle faults, or even worse experience any catastrophic conditions resulting in death of consumers based on this faulty TIPM, that controls most aspects of the whole vehicle.
