DODGE Complaints

THERE IS A SMELL OF RAW FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. SMELL COMES THROUGH THE AIR VENTS WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING. ALL THE TIME>

WHILE DRIVING ON COUNTY ROAD I CAME TO SHARP CURVE WITH AN INCLINE. AS I ENTERED THE CURVE THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WORKED AS NORMAL.

I HAVE A FUEL LEAK UNDERNEATH FROM THE TOP OF FUEL TANK. I BELIEVE IT IS COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP. LEAKS WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING ONLY. DOES NOT LEAK WHEN AUTO IS NOT RUNNING.

MY 2004 DODGE DURANGO HAS THE 5.7 HEMI. DURING HEAVY RAINS THE ENGINE WOULD START TO RUN ROUGH AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN ON ME THREE DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DUE TO THE RAIN. DURING THIS ELECTRICAL SHUTDOWN STEERING WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE DID THIS TO ME ONE TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT OCCURED. I FOUND THAT THE ISSUE WAS BEING CAUSED BY A FAULTY SEAL AT THE WIPER COWL. THIS LEAK LATER BLEW MY ENGINE AS THE WATER LEAK FOUND IT'S WAY INTO THE CYLINDERS AND BLEW A PISTON ROD. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED, ON ITS OWN, PUSHING MY HEAD FORWARD. NO COLLISION HAD OCCURRED AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT. THE HEAD RESTRAINT LOOKS AS IF THE PLASTIC BRACKET INSIDE BROKE BECAUSE I TRIED RESETTING THE HEAD RESTRAINT, PER MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTIONS, BUT IT WILL NOT RESET. HEAD RESTRAINT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW PART.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE, CAUSING NO CLEARING OF WINDOWS ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE

I PAID APRX $400 FOR NEW TIRES MAY 18 2018. ON 6/29 ON HIGHWAY I HAD A BLOW OUT. HAD TO FIND A WALMART IN DAPHNE AL TO GET NEW TIRE. THEY SAID OH MAYBE FROM THE HEAT AND KEPT MAKING EXCUSES BUT BOTTOM LINE TIRES WERE ABOUT A MONTH OLD WAS NO REASON THAT SHOULD HAPPENED. SO WE REPLACED THE TIRE AND WOULDNT LET ME KEEP BLOWN OUT ONE FOR PROOF. NOW PAST COUPLE WEEKS THR SAME TIRE THEY REPLACED HAS BEEN GETTING LOW OVER AND OVER. TODAY GO OUT AND BASICALLY WAS FLAT TO RIM . I GO GET AIR AND SEE BUBBLES FROM IN BETWEEN TREADS THANKS TO UT BEING WET OUTSIDE. COME TO WALMART AGAIN AND NOW FIGHT BEGINS BECAUSE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A TIRE A THIRD TIME OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED RECALLED! LUCKIKY FIRST TIME WE DIDN'T GET HURT OR CAUSE ACCIDENT WHILE DOING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY. SECOND TIME SAME TIRE LUCKILY MY SISTER NOTICED IT BEFORE WE GOT ON HIGHWAY.

VACUUM PUMP LEAKING OIL AND A BURNING SMELL COMES THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN BRAKES ARE PUSHED, ALSO CAUSED THE O2 SENSOR TO GO BAD AND A/C TO NOT WORK LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND YOU PUSH THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP.

DEFECTIVE TIPM MANY VEHICLES DODGE/CHRYSLER HAVE BEEN RECALLED, THE MAJORITY FROM 2007-2015. JOURNEYS WERE NOT INCLUDED, BUT ACCORDING TO THE INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS EFFECTS EVERYTHING AND MY CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER FOR DODGE TO FIX IT THEN TO GET THE LAWSUIT WHEN MY AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY OR I AM IN AN ACCIDENT.
